Chapter 860: First Floor ~ The Minke Tribe
Dozens of creatures with long claws came out from the ground, standing at the
border between Greenland and the forest. The creatures created the barrier so
Lu An could not pass them. After, more creatures popped from behind as well,
pinching Lu An and Helia.
Lu An did not rush to ght his way out of the creatures. He observed the black
furry creatures around him; they were around one and a half meters tall with
around fty centimeters long claws, "Otter or ferret?" Lu An muttered in a low
voice.
These creatures had the look of a ferret and the long body of the otter. The
proportion of these creatures'' bodies was quite o, especially when they were
standing. When they opened their mouths, jigsaw-like teeth showed up.
Lu An activated the [Basic Detection] skill on one of the creatures to see how
strong these creatures were.

Looking at the detection result, he remembered what Miragul had told him
earlier. The green land was the Minke Tribe''s territory, and the creatures in
front of him were Minke. The fact that the Minke Tribe was around level 600
and the highest one was level 732 was a relief to Lu An. Meaning the monsters
on the rst oor were relatively weak.
''But these Minke are still a threat to the Tarriors,'' He thought to himself. The
average level of the Tarriors was around level 400-ish to level 600-ish. While
the elf, Moonlight Tribe, and Alton''s subordinates were relatively higher in
level.
"I will make the way out of the encirclement, and you follow me closely, Helia,"
Lu An decided to escape instead of ghting the Minke Tribe. Despite their
overwhelming number, he could ght them all, but there was no benet from
killing the Minke Tribe. He would rather leave the Minke for the Tarriors to
ght to level up.
Using the Shadow Step, Lu An rushed to the Minke in front of him. His right
hand held the sword while his left hand carried Donald Callahan with him. He
was not going to leave the man to die this early. Within the next second, Lu An
appeared in front of Minke. The shadow covered his red sword, and when he
slashed the sword toward the Minke, the shadow extended forward, cutting ve
Minke''s heads simultaneously.
In the next second, Lu An had entered the forest area. He did not go deeper into
the forest as he wanted to see whether The Minke Tribe would follow him into
the forest. He would lure them into the ideal area for Tarriors to ght them if
they followed him. However, as he predicted, the Minke Tribe did not dare to
enter the forest. He could hear the furious hissing from the Minke, but they did
not dare to enter the forest.
Lu An shrugged and turned around, continuing walking back to the base. On the
way back, he did not encounter the people who chased after Revalor, "Did
Revalor Kill them already?"
Halfway back to the base, he heard a lot of movement in front of him. Lu An
remained calm because he knew who was coming. Sure enough, he saw Zhang
Mengyao lead the main force toward him. The main force meant all of them.
Zhang Mengyao stopped in front of Lu An and checked the youngster from top
to bottom. Lu An was like her little brother already, so she was deeply worried
after hearing from Revalor that Lu An stayed behind to ght against a group of
over a thousand people, "You okay?"
"I am ne. They are afraid that the reinforcement will come, so they escaped
when they realized that they could not kill me," Lu An nodded and reported
what happened.
Zhang Mengyao let out a relieved sigh after Arina made an okay gesture toward
her, indicating Lu And was ne. Then she glanced at the disgured man in Lu
An''s left hand, "Is this the guy who insulted your Brother Shaoyang?"
Zhang Mengyao had heard what happened from Revalor, the reason why Lu An
stayed behind. She was glad about Revalor''s decisiveness to leave Lu An and
called the reinforcement immediately. It would be wasting time to convince Lu
An as she was well aware that Lu An would not leave, especially if it was
Revalor. He won''t listen to the Former Elven King, and Revalor would be just
wasting his time. She did not blame Revalor for leaving Lu An behind in that
scenario.
"Yeah," Lu An nodded with a smile.
"Better you just kill him. We don''t want the Tang Empire''s name dirty just
because we treat this guy inhumanely," Zhang Mengyao furrowed her brow
upon seeing Donald Callahan''s condition.
"No one will know unless our people spread the rumor," Lu An said while
scanning the Tarriors, and all of them looked away from Lu An''s chilling gaze.
"But you are right. Just in case someone with a big mouth spreads the rumor, I
will kill this poor guy," Lu An stabbed the sword into Donald Callahan''s skull,
killing the man instantly.
"Ah, I also met with the Minke Tribe in the next area. The tribe that controls
the green land...." Lu An described the Minke to Zhang Mengyao, their
appearance, and also their power. "We can ask Miragul how strong this Minke
Tribe is and start to plan to ght them afterward. It would be a good experience
for our Tarriors too."
Zhang Mengyao nodded, "Though I doubt this Minke Tribe is good enough for
our elite Tarriors, we need to ght them sooner or later anyway."
The Tarriors that joined the expedition were around level 700 to level 800, so
the Minke Tribe should not be an issue for them. They were the best of the best
from the Tarrior since the Dimensional Tower was extremely important.
Revalor brought back the Miragul to Lu An, and it explained what it knew about
the Minke Tribe, "I think The Minke is attracted to this man''s blood; that''s why
they chase and set up an ambush for you, Sir. The Minke has a keen smell, and
they love blood for sure."
"I do believe the Minke Tribe''s leader has not reached the Epic Rank yet," The
Miragul added at the end.
