The outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. The next day.

As the first rays of morning sunlight fell, Allen slowly opened his eyes.

He didn't even glance at the mercenaries around him, heading straight toward the central region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Once Allen's figure disappeared into the mountain forest, the few mercenaries nearby stood up almost simultaneously.

"Boss." "Just letting him go like that?" "That kid is dressed well; he must have some good stuff on him." "If we pull off this job, we could rest for at least a few years!" "..."

A man with a shifty, rat-like appearance spoke up. There was a look of unwillingness on his face, and even his tone carried a hint of reluctance.

Last night, the moment he saw Allen, the thought of killing him had crossed his mind. The reason was simple.

Their mercenary group had been making a living in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for years. Waylaying lone adventurers had long since become a daily routine.

In fact, many times, they would specifically hunt those lone adventurers to acquire vast amounts of wealth.

Last night was no different. Allen, being all by himself, was undoubtedly a perfect target.

However, before the man could make a move, the middle-aged man had stopped him in secret.

This left him very confused, not knowing what the middle-aged man meant. Could it be that their boss had a sudden change of heart?

"Rat." "I've told you many times." "You can't just judge people by their appearance." "This kid isn't as simple as he looks." "If we had really attacked him last night, I guarantee we definitely wouldn't be seeing today's sun." "..."

Hearing his subordinate's words, the middle-aged man frowned, his gaze turning toward the direction Allen had left.

In fact, when he first saw Allen, he had also wanted to attack him. But he quickly changed his mind because he had seen a special ring on Allen's finger.

Five years ago, during a special mission, he had seen a Spatial Ring for the first time from a big shot. The ring Allen was wearing was almost identical to that Spatial Ring.

A teenage boy actually possessed a legendary Spatial Ring!

Either the other party had formidable strength! If they attacked him, it would undoubtedly be seeking their own deaths.

Or the other party had a terrifying background! On the surface, he was alone. In secret, he must have guards hidden nearby. If they attacked him, they would surely be killed by the nearby guards!

It was precisely because of this that the middle-aged man had stopped his subordinate. Because no matter which possibility it was, as long as they dared to attack, the end result would be death!

On the other side, Allen was moving rapidly through the mountain forest. As a Level 9 Warrior, Allen's perception was quite keen.

He could sense that those mercenaries had developed malicious intent toward him. Originally, Allen had been prepared to kill them. However, their malice quickly vanished.

Although Allen was puzzled by this situation, he didn't pay it much mind. Since these people hadn't attacked, Allen naturally didn't mind letting them off.

After all, Allen could no longer find a reason to attack them. Or rather, a few mercenaries wandering on the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range weren't worth Allen's concern.

"Almost there." "According to the map's guidance." "If I walk another hundred li or so, I'll be at Red Flame Valley." "With my strength, I should be able to reach the destination by evening." "..."

Glancing at the map in his hand, Allen looked toward the mountain forest again and couldn't help but quicken his pace. He had made ample preparations for this trip.

Even though it was his first time entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the map in his hand had been prepared in advance by the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

Except for the core region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, which was occupied by Saint-level Magical Beasts and which the Dawson Chamber of Commerce dared not venture into, the remaining three areas were clearly marked on the map.

"Awoo~" Just then, seven or eight two-meter-tall vicious wolves jumped out from a mountain stream in the distance. Seeing this, Allen's pace paused slightly.

"Level 4 Magical Beast, Wind Wolf." "Their sizes are about the same; no leader has been born yet?" Looking at the pack of wolves in the distance, Allen quickly made a judgment.

Wind Wolves were wind-attribute Level 4 Magical Beasts that lived in the central region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Because Wind Wolves were pack animals, they usually moved together. Even Level 5 warriors or mages would not easily provoke them.

Especially large packs of Wind Wolves. A large Wind Wolf pack would inevitably have a Wind Wolf leader. A Wind Wolf leader was at least a Level 5 Magical Beast, and there was even a very small chance it could advance to a Level 6 Magical Beast.

Under the leadership of a Wind Wolf leader, the combat power of a large Wind Wolf pack could even force back Level 7 warriors or mages. However, Allen was a Level 9 Warrior. Even a large Wind Wolf pack was not enough to make Allen retreat.

"Awoo~" As if sensing Allen's contempt, the leading Wind Wolf let out a howl. In an instant, all the Wind Wolves opened their mouths in unison. The next moment, the surrounding wind elements began to converge. Sharp wind blades came flying rapidly, bombarding Allen.

"Seeking death!" The Dou Qi inside Allen erupted. He stomped fiercely on the ground, his whole body advancing instead of retreating. Those wind blades hitting Allen were immediately shattered by his fiery red Dou Qi.

Before the wolf pack could react, Allen had already crossed over a hundred meters and appeared above the head of a Wind Wolf. He slammed his right leg down, landing squarely on the Wind Wolf's head.

"Bang!" The Wind Wolf's head exploded instantly. A cyan crystal was even sent flying over ten meters away. That was the Wind Wolf's Level 4 wind-attribute Demonic Core.

"Awoo~" Seeing their companion die instantly, the remaining few Wind Wolves flashed a look of panic in their eyes. Magical Beasts were not mere wild animals. Level 4 Magical Beasts had already learned to think.

They had attacked Allen because he looked too young. In their impression, human children like Allen usually didn't have much strength. But now, Allen had used his performance to let them know he was not to be trifled with.

Without the slightest hesitation, all the Wind Wolves turned around and bolted toward the mountain stream. Unfortunately, before they could escape very far, Allen's figure appeared near them one after another.

In just a few breaths, the entire Wind Wolf pack was wiped out, leaving a pile of Wind Wolf corpses. Afterward, Allen simply tidied his clothes and continued walking toward Red Flame Valley.

As for the Demonic Cores of these Wind Wolves? As the eldest son of the Dawson Family, Allen had no interest in these Level 4 Demonic Cores.

The rest of the journey didn't encounter any accidents. Finally, at dusk, Allen successfully arrived at the edge of Red Flame Valley.

Consistent with what Allen knew, because disasters like ground fire often occurred near Red Flame Valley, no traces of Magical Beasts could be seen in the vicinity of Red Flame Valley.

Allen was naturally happy for such a situation, heading straight into the interior of the valley.
