Chapter 132: One hundred thirty-two: to regain and then lose again
Swoosh!
In the Yulin Mountain Range, roughly tens of miles away from Yurong Mountain, a figure stealthily emerged from the dense forest. His expression was cautious; he frequently looked around as if he was on guard against someone.
This figure was naturally Yun Xiao, who had narrowly escaped from Yurong Volcano that day. Notably, a palm-sized, fiery-red rat lay lazily on his right shoulder.
Honestly, Yun Xiao’s escape from Mo Qing’s grasp owed much to the Fire Cloud Rat, whose extreme speed, even for someone as experienced as Yun Xiao, was astonishing.
This was another talent of the Fire Cloud Rat—speed. Even though it was merely a Fourth Rank Low Level Vein Demon, and the gap between its Meridian Qi and Mo Qing’s was vast, it still outsped Mo Qing, who could not catch up.
"Hehe, little guy, thank you so much this time!"
Yun Xiao, sensing no danger around, finally turned his head and thanked the Fire Cloud Rat resting on his right shoulder. He knew that Vein Demons like the Fire Cloud Rat could definitely understand his words.
However, after Yun Xiao spoke, the Fire Cloud Rat just glanced at him with its small eyes and then lay still again. Yun Xiao didn’t mind; during these days of travel, he had come to understand this Fire Cloud Rat.
Initially, Yun Xiao guessed that the Fire Cloud Rat had helped him possibly because it felt indebted after drinking half a barrel of his Stone Heart Marrow Liquid that day and thus chose to assist him.
But it was uncommon for a Fire Cloud Rat that had awakened to follow a human, especially one whose cultivation level was much lower.
