Chapter 623: Rodeo!

Kana"s eyes began to water up. She had been a dragon all this time, and no one believed her! "Hmph!" Kana pouted. But at the same time, she was still happy. She was able to get her fire breath back even though it was not very powerful. 

"We should rest for the night. We will have a long day tomorrow." Kana stretched and let out a yawn. Although she had cultivated and did not feel tired. In her mind, the day was still tiring, and she just wanted to sleep. 

"Then I will take first watch. Kana, you can sleep first." Lui Na patted her lap, and Kana was not reserved at all as she laid down and used it as a pillow.

The night flew by quickly, and when morning came, the two girls ventured back into the forest. This time they went in the opposite direction of where the wine monkeys were so they would not need to deal with them. Their goal on this day was to fight as many demonic beasts as they could one on one. But they would make sure to be careful and only pull one demonic beast at a time. 

If they ran into a pack of demonic beasts, they would try to pull one or otherwise run away. Unlike the wine monkeys who would not give up chasing their targets, other demonic beasts would not chase you past their territory. This was mainly because not many demonic beasts were willing to deal with wine monkeys of the same rank, and this only applied to demonic beasts of the same rank. 

"Go left!" Kana yelled as she darted right. The demonic beast in front of them was trying to escape, and Kana did not wish to let it go in case it called for help. It was about two Kana"s tall and was a cross between a deer and a wolf. Its legs and tail were wolf like while the rest of the body was deer like. It had three sets of blade like antlers on its head. 

Kana pushed past the branches that were sc.r.a.ping against her skin. Completely ignoring the obstacles in her way, Kana transformed into her dragon form and quickly caught up to the demonic beast. She jumped up into the air using the side of a large ancient tree as a foothold and jumped at the demonic beast, landing on its back. "That"s as far as you go!" Kana yelled out. 

*Roar!*

The demonic beasts let out a mighty roar and slid to a stop whipping its body around and bucking, trying to get the little creature off its back. Kana let out a laugh and transformed back into her humanoid form, and grabbed hold of the antlers. She looked like a cowboy in a rodeo as she bounced up and down as the demonic beast roared.

"Kana!?" Liu Na came through the bushes to see Kana laughing away as she bounced up and down on the demonic beast"s back. 

"Oh! Nana! This is quite fun! You should try it!" Kana yelled out when she saw Liu Na. 

Liu Na really did not know what to say. The first day they were almost killed, the second day they were running for their lives after robbing wine monkeys and today…. Kana was toying with demonic beasts as if it was a tamed scaled horse! She was unsure if she should kill it or not. She was afraid if she did, Kana would get mad for ruining her fun!

"Hahaha! Okay, playtime is over!" Kana knew she couldn"t keep going like this, so she drew her sword and stabbed the demonic beast in the back of the neck. It staggered a few steps before falling to the ground. Kana made sure it was dead before digging out its core. "We should probably carve this up as well."

"Mmm.. A wolfere are very tasty." Liu Na nodded. She had not had this kind of meat for a long time. 

"Then let"s get to it!" Kana said before beginning the carving process. Liu Na was also making sure they took the parts that could be sold as well. 

The girl"s time in the outer rim was much easier as the days went by. Although they would sometimes get wounded, They were never in much danger. Like this, half a year pa.s.sed within the mystic realm. Kana and Liu Na had become part of the forces within the forest and now had their own domain within the outer rim. Even the wine monkeys stayed away after losing a fierce battle a month back. 

They were currently outside the cave cooking meat when Kana suddenly said: "I think it is time we move base to the edge of the inn ring. While we have had some tough fights, we are not really getting much benefit from the forest itself. The demonic beasts now usually run away unless it is one on the verge of reaching rank two. Plus, my cultivation has stagnated at stage four body fortification." 

During the past six months, Kana had only been able to reach stage four body fortification as she had not had any fights that would allow her to breakthrough. Each realm always had three major milestones. The first was the stage four to stage five milestone, after that was the stage eight to stage nine, and lastly, breaking through to the next realm. Kana was currently at the first milestone. 

"Yeah, I also had a probably at the first milestone. I ended up almost half dead fighting a rank one demonic beast in order to breakthrough. Even though these demonic beasts are strong, your combat ability is really high, so they pose no threat to you. So fighting a rank two might do it. But we must choose wisely. The strength difference between a rank one demonic beast and a rank two is huge." Liu Na was a little reluctant as it was dangerous but she knew Kana needed to do this.

"Then let"s make our way to the inner rim tomorrow."
