Chapter 68 - When You Do Good

If there was something good, it was the fact that they were almost outside of the Azure Hyenas Den. Those Stage Two and the Leader were quite far away already. That being said, the few remaining Hyenas around them were not enough to stop either one now that they want to rush out.

Rean and Roan immediately used Light Element on their legs and shot forward like two cannonballs. Those Stage One Azure Hyenas were not fast enough to stop them with their speeds. The difference is just too big now that they are not holding back.

Of course, those Stage Two Azure Hyenas immediately dash out as well, including the leader. There are a total of four Hyenas at the Second Stage. The three underlying of the leader had a speed similar to Rean and Roan, so they couldn't catch up. However, the leader was obviously much stronger and faster.

In a flash, Rean and Roan left all the Hyenas group behind, with only the leader and the other three being able to follow them.

"What do we do? The big guy is coming straight at us."

"Can't do anything else other than run. Just make sure to be near. Once it gets close enough to attack, the two of us should be able to stop it while buying more time to flee."

"We passed by the spiked crocodiles' territory on our way here. They also have a few Stage Two members in between, so we should try to change these Hyenas' attention to them."

"It will be a little hard since they are obviously coming for us due to the Azure Spiritual Flower. We will need to pass right through their group if we want them to attack those Hyenas. Wait!"

It was then that Roan thought about something.

"They are after us because of the Azura Spiritual Flower, right? We already concluded the mission, so just throw it away. Perhaps they will stop, or at least one of them will do so to recover the flower."

Rean's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached inside his bag to take the Azura Spiritual Flower... or so he tried. Suddenly, cold sweat started to appear on his face, and his expression turned grim.

"Not here..."

"What?!"

"It's not here, the Azure Spiritual Flower is not here!"

"How the hell it's not here? I saw you putting it inside the bag, how did you lose it!"

"Lose your ass! It simply disappeared in thin air... Ah!"

Rean and Roan looked at each other and seemed to have reached the same conclusion. It was also at this moment that they received a message.

[Assimilation of Azure Spiritual Flower complete.]

*burp*

[Cough, cough. Authority Level 2 Fully Unlocked.]

"Sister Orb just... burped, didn't she?"

[Incorrect.]

*burp*

The twins felt like crying but had no tears! What 'incorrect?' Do you think we are deaf? First of all, since when you have a stomach?

Of course, they did not stop because of that. Rean and Roan used their anger to put even more effort into running.

The Hyena leader finally caught them and pounced at Roan. However, since the twins were close to each other, they were able to defend together.

*Clang!*

Using their Swords against the Azura Hyena's claws, they use the impact to be sent in the opposite direction. Their distance to the leader opened once more, and they continued to run.

Although the Hyena Leader was the strongest one, it didn't have much intelligence. That being said, it didn't change its form of attacks either, which allowed Rean and Roan to use it to gain distance several times.

By now, the sun already appeared behind the mountains in the distance, making things clearer for them.

However, something unexpected appeared in front of them. Rean and Roan jumped down a small cliff in front of them, no more than 7 or 8 meters. With their cultivation, it wasn't anything hard to jump down. But when they reached the bottom... they landed right in front of someone quite familiar. Together with this guy, several other cultivators that were about to climb that cliff looked at them too. Sure enough, he was the bandit leader who attacked their group back them, Nial.

For a second, the twins and Nial looked at each other, not believing that they would meet like this. The bandit leader came back to himself right after.

"It's them, these are the kids!"

The other bandits, including that brother Luono, looked surprisingly at those two.

"Hehe. To think they would fall into our grasp this easy."

The bandits showed an evil smile. However...

Rean and Roan's smiles were even more sinister than the bandits.

"Say, Roan. Do you believe in Karma?"

Roan laughed out loud before answering.

"Not until today, at least. Is that what the people from your previous world meant with 'when you do good, good things happen to you?' Hahaha!"

Rean and Roan laughed once again. That indeed looked like the case.

Nial felt a chill on his back after seeing the Kids' reaction. Their expressions were totally different from what it should be in a situation like this.

Suddenly...

Swish!

Rean and Roan darted through the Bandits' group. Yes, they didn't try to run through the sides but went right through the middle! Even the bandits were taken aback by that. The Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, brother Luono, was also a second too late to react due to his surprise.

But just as he was about to pursue...

Boom!

"Ahhhhhh!"

An enormous Azure Hyena dropped from the same cliff right over the body of one of the bandits. Immediately after...

Boom, Boom, Boom!

The other three Stages Two Hyenas jumped down as well.

Seeing that, all the bandits palled, including that Brother Luono.

Any idiot would have understood what is happening. These Hyenas were obviously pursuing those twins, and they had just become their scapegoats.

Seeing the group of bandits in front of them made the Hyenas crazy. In their eyes, they look just like the kids who stole the Azure Spiritual Flower, so they showed no mercy.

It was then that Luono remembered the twins and looked in their direction. However, those two were already long gone.
