Death... and me
chapter-2930

The next week, a new mission was taken by Rean and Roan, which brought them to the neighboring region, Crovel. Rean and Roan were supposed to collect the bone marrow of a Stage Three Poison Lizard, which was quite prominent in this area. The race of the Poison Lizard didn't matter, so it made things simpler.

Of course, neither Rean nor Roan would have any trouble with it. They could totally fight a Stage Six Demon Beast, let alone a Stage Three one. The only reason they took that mission at all was so they could give a reason to travel to Crovel. There was a mountainous region called Hunfdrer. It also happened to be the place where you could find a few Sun Urpin Spirits.

*Hsssssaaaaa...*

A Lamareal Swamp Lizard gave its last scream as its heart was pierced by an arrow made of light. It didn't even see it coming before it fell to the ground, and its world went dark. Rean came down from the skies before using his Spiritual Energy and Sword to cut the Lizard's body and remove the poor creature's Bone Marrow.

"According to the CD, Lamareal Swamp Lizards are also a type of poison lizards of this region," Rean commented and put the marrow into his Spatial Ring. Right after, his purification skill activated, completely eliminating any traces of poison from his body. Rean didn't need to worry about dealing with the lizard's body at all.

Roan nodded while the two began to fly again. "The Clan Mission is now taken care of. Hunfdrer Shouldn't be more than an hour away from here if we fly at full speed." Roan then glanced at Rean. "There wasn't really a need for you to come with me, though."

Rean shrugged. "Do you think I like your company? I only accompanied you because I'm curious about this Sun Urpin Race. I mean, it is a Spirit Race that uses cultivation techniques. Isn't that interesting?"

"Hmph!" Roan snorted but didn't answer. He would be lying if he said he wasn't interested as well.

"Hum?" Roan's Spiritual Sense then noticed something in the distance. "Isn't that..."

Rean noticed the same thing and was quite surprised. "Hey, there are a few members of our clan here too."

"Our... clan?" Roan glanced at Rean.

"You know what I meant," Rean didn't seem to mind.

At the moment, five cultivators of the Gondel Clan were running away, flying as fast as they could. Right behind them, tens of cultivators from some other force were in hot pursuit. The guys behind not only had the advantage in numbers, but they also had higher cultivations. One of them was even in the Initial Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, seeming to be playing with the Gondel Clan members.

Their group, obviously, didn't notice the twins yet. Rean and Roan were not using the Light and Divine Sense Bending skill, but their Spiritual Senses were tens of times bigger, so... Roan turned around and began to fly in another direction. "Whatever. Not our problem." Rean didn't follow him, though. "Come on! The Gondel Clan and its members have been so 'generous' with the two of us until now... even though they don't know it. How about paying their generosity a little by helping these guys. Besides, don't you think the guys pursuing the Gondel Clan members might be very generous as well?"

Roan suddenly stopped. "Now that I think about it, those guys are indeed very generous." he completely ignored the part about helping the Gondel Clan, but he did like the part about helping themselves with the pursuer's belongings.

*Clack, clack, clack...*

Rean and Roan's bodies suddenly began to change, taking completely different forms. They followed that with two bottles of a weird liquid that was thrown on their hair. Instantly, Rean and Roan became two different people.

Finally, the Gondel clan members caught the presence of Rean and Roan in the distance and... flew in another direction. There was only a Spiritual Sense message getting to the twins. 'Quick, hide! The Parton Sect disciples are pursuing us. Don't let them see you, or they will definitely not let you escape.'

Both Rean and Roan were taken aback. That wasn't the kind of reaction they expected from the Gondel Clan cultivators. The norm of the cultivation world was for them to fly straight at Rean and Roan and forcefully include the twins into their mess so they could increase their chance of survival.

'They... didn't play the role I thought they would...' Rean scratched the back of his head and immediately darted forward.

'Tch!' Roan hated it even more, clicking his tongue. If those guys from Gondel had tried to use the twins as bait to escape, he would have taken them down together with those behind. The only difference was that he wouldn't kill the Gondel Clan members since Rean would annoy him about it... Roan would totally take all their belongings, though. Now, however, he didn't even have an excuse to rob- ahem... confiscate the Gondel Clan member's items.

Sure enough, the Parton Sect members noticed Rean and Roan straight away since the twins came after them.

"Senior Glassi, there seems to be some reinforcements ahead," One of the pursuers spoke.

Glassi, the only Nascent Soul Cultivator there, snorted in response. His Spiritual Sense finally reached Rean and Roan, and he could see their Initial Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm. "Just two extra ants. Since they are coming to die, let them die."

The Gondel Clan members were taken aback when they saw Rean and Roan pass by them and stop between the two sides. The leader of that group couldn't help but curse. "Fuck! Everyone, stop. Let's make our final stand here."

Rean looked behind and found it funny. Those guys could have used this chance to escape even more than before. And yet, they stopped to help. That truly wasn't something you would expect in the cultivation world. 'Not bad, not bad at all! Hahaha!' Rean thought.
