"Yun wei, watch out duck" came the old gramps voice laced with anxiousness

Upon hearing the agitated and anxious voice of the Old gramps, without hesitation and not putting much thought into, he immediately stopped and bent his head and used the remnant force to dive as low as possible down quickly only in time to see the shadow of a four legged animal jumping right through where is head was before with a claw in front which later proceeds to land gently on the ground without causing much of a disturbance.

Yun wei shivers inwardly as his mind flashes back to the claw and the force behind it

"I could have lost my little life here" thought Yun wei in the spur of the moment, cause he has no prior knowledge or even an inkling of knowledge that a magical beast was going to launch an attack at him, if not for the timely warning from the old gramps, he would have been seriously wounded if not dead

"You will die without even knowing how, if you can't even be vigilant during times like this" said the old gramps releasing an involuntary built in breath of air

"Yeah my fault I wasn't vigilant enough and I didn't expect that the first encounter with a beast will be done through a sneak attack and it's surprisingly fast, these kinds of beast are not suppose to be found so soon into the forest right " said Yun wei to the old gramps has he maintains a vigilant look at the beast that landed at his front

All the conversations carried with the old gramps might seem to take long but the conversations were carried out faster than usual because it is done through the mental connection between them

Yun wei slowly adjusts his position and looks at the beast that is moving slowly in front of him and he finally sees the appearance of the beast.

The beast is a four legged creature with a not big or not small size with an appearance or body size reaching about *** feet tall with sharp claws in all the paws of the beast alongside protruding fangs in its mouth, giving it a nimble appearance

The beast suddenly leaps forward without causing much of a disturbance or kicking up any dust or leaves on the floor and dashes into the forest using the forest as a cover to disappear from the view of Yun wei

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"The beast is still around using the forest as a cover don't let your guard" said the old gramps

It is still around, but it is in the 11th stage of meridian opening can't it see that I am a level higher in terms of cultivation compared to it thought Yun wei inwardly still maintaining a vigilant expression as he makes his thoughts known to the old gramps

"Stupid, not everything is about cultivation realm, yes cultivation is the basis or the foundation, it still can not be used as a sure standard or basis of evaluating strength, take for example when that beast sneaked attack you if I didn't inform you won't u be severely injured and risk dying that is if you don't die at the spot. Some people or beast specialises in a particular aspect while some has special bloodlines, some special combat awareness and so on

The reason I am telling you these is so that you will not underestimate anyone, there are no lack of cultivators that have died due to underestimating there enemies, atleast more than a few has died in my hands in particular" said the old gramps as he chuckles to himself in the last sentence

Without allowing Yun wei to respond, he continues

"That is why you must take these time to hone your combat skills by having perfect control over all the powers available to you as well as your body movements, consolidate your cultivation by tempering it so you can lay a very strong cultivation in preparation for the energy formation stage and to be able to progress farther on the path of cultivation" said the old gramps patiently as if he is lecturing or passing a lesson in the classroom

While the same could not be said about Yun wei because apart from listening to the old gramps he is also watching his surroundings vigilantly to guard himself against sneak attacks

Cause he could not say accurately that these is where the demon beast will come out from due to the terrain of the forest, the bushes, trees plays the role of a good cover not allowing him see clearly which all these leads to a formation of a strange tense atmosphere

The beast itself could be said to be like a fish in the river, cause it's type of demon beast is occasionally good at mounting sneak attacks to kill enemies or preys including those higher than their level in cultivation, the beast now being aided by the scenery is able to take the form of a predator while Yun wei automatically becomes the prey

"Old gramps can u tell where the beast is going to come from" said Yun wei amidst the tense atmosphere

"Yes I can tell, I can see everything around you even though my soul has been weakened, how can a small beast that hasn't even broken to the energy formation stage escape my detection" said the old gramps in a relaxed manner as if everything that is taking place has nothing to do with him

"Can you please tell me, we are both in the same boat now" said Yun wei

"Tell you, that won't do you any good , if you can't even survive these alone what is the point if I tell you now as you will die either sooner or later you might as well die now, so you won't raise my hope only to die nonetheless" said the old man with a nonchalant attitude

"Well what do I know, I am just an old man that have died before" said the old man softly as if he is taking a relaxing bath or in the beach

Truth be told he is relaxing under the sun in the pendant and watching how everything is proceeding from the inside as if watching a movie

Yun wei's mouth twitched uncontrollably after hearing what the old man said and sees the view in the pendant

"I think I got the losing part of the deal, how is this in any way helping me" thought Yun wei inwardly and at these point the demon beast jumped out of the cover of the forest from a shade under a particular tree swiftly with both claws stretched forward as if preparing to take a bite out of something

"You finally came out , these young master has been waiting to skin you alive
