Arriving at Naya City

Five people surrounded Leon's group, they looked strong and well built, and one of them was bald and had a tattoo on his head.

"Who are you?" Leon asked.

The bald man stared at Leon, he looked like the leader of the group, as others were following his orders.

"Barbarian!" He pulled out his sword and said with a sinister smile, "Unlike others of your kind, you seemed like an educated person. We are 'Mountain Raiders Gang', and if you don't want to die, hand over your wolf and cat."

Leon looked at the leader, giving a look what he wanted to see, but he hadn't expected the answer he got.

"Listen!" Leon said. "If you can take them away, they are yours."

The bald man got confused, what this lad wanted? Was this lad challenging him? He didn't understand Leon's word, so he asked again in a cold tone.

"If you don't understand, I will tell you again, Hand over your beats, and we might let you live?"

Leon was annoyed and about to say something, all of a sudden, thunder broke the silence.

"Baldy! You are too weak, are you looking to die?"

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" All five of them started laughing then one of the bandits said. "If we are weak then...".

He was about to complete his speech, suddenly, he stopped and looked at Thunder with shock and fear.

"De..de..demon beast?" Words came out from other bandits mouth.

The bald man was also shocked, he looked at Leon's group and said with a little courage he could gather.

"Dear sir! This was just misunderstanding. We were just joking."

Leon's was also annoyed, he told Thunder before not to speak, but Thunder couldn't keep his mouth shut, with the first person he saw.

He sent a mental message with death sense, "I told you not to speak, but you! Now, what should we do with them?"

Mental messages could be sent using spiritual sense, and to have a spiritual sense, one must be at least origin core realm. Fortunately, he gained death sense which was even better than the spiritual sense.

"We agreed not to talk in the city, this place can still be considered forest. Right?" Thunder teased and mentally replied.

He was a demon beast, on top that, a very high level one, so he obviously had the ability to speak mentally as well.

Leon stared at him angrily, finally, both of them looked at the bald man with a sinister expression. Bald man had a bad feeling, he cursed his luck, he thought that he got an easy prey, but prey turned out to be a predator.

"I get it." Leon said. "We really understood you, and this was certainly a joke."

Hearing these words, the bald man immediately got happy, but hearing words that came after, he felt as if he was struck by lightning.

"Yes Yes! This was a joke, but now it's our turn to play jokes upon you." Thunder evilly laughed and said.

….

"That was refreshing, those bastards were really looking for some serious beating," Thunder said with a satisfied expression.

"I got some proper clothes to wear, those leaves were too uncomfortable and fragile." Leon smiled, said.

Those bandits were beaten black and blue, and not only they were beaten but also robbed by these two, bald man surprisingly had a lot of money and wore good clothes.

Finally, They came out of the forest and gazed at the front, greeted by plains, endless plains. Leon looked carefully at the horizon and saw a shady structure extremely far away.

It was a city, standing alone, in the middle of the endless plains. It was surrounded by the twenty meters tall walls, from a look one could see, it was a very large city and occupied dozens of miles, it probably contained the very large amount of people.

"Let him go." Leon looked at black wolf and said to Thunder.

Thunder had unwilling look, but he finally decided to free the wolf, Leon had already told him that bringing additional luggage will only bring them trouble, besides, black wolf wasn't very strong anyway.

After saying goodbye to the black wolf, they finally went towards the city.

"Those walls are really big, it's like a giant cage. How humans live in these cities?" Thunder asked.

"Yes, it is kind of cage, but it's doesn't prevent from inside to get out. Those walls are there to protect against the dangers from outside." Leon replied.

"We are about to arrive, but how are we going to get inside?" Thunder asked.

Leon looked around and found a large gate, it was the only gate he could see.

"There!" He pointed at the gate.

They reached the gate and saw two men holding a spear, they were the city guards, given the job to guard the entrance and collect the entrance fee from visitors.

"Hold on!" One guard said.

Leon looked at the guard, he looked quite strong, probably in the late states of body refining realm. This gave him a surprise, 'Trivial door guard! at body refining late stage?'

Leon didn't know where he was, and whether it was the domain of Sun Moon Sect or not. So he decided to ask some questions.

"Ahem! May I ask what city is this?"

He didn't ask about the kingdom, they might get suspicious and think of him as a spy, so he asked them about the city. If he was within a domain of Sun Moon Sect, then he would recognize any big city, and city in front of him was definitely a big city.

"Who are you and where you came from?" Guard strictly asked.

"I am just a traveler and lost my way in that forest." He pointed at forest direction.

Guard looked at him as if trying to see through him, but after a few moments he relaxed and said.

"This is Naya, the capital city of Tristone Kingdom."

As soon as Leon heard this words, he immediately got happy.

'So I am still in the kingdom, Good! And here I was, worried over nothing'

"Ten silver coins." Another guard who looked impatient said.

Leon understood that guard was asking for the entrance fee, so he took out ten silver coins which he robbed from the bandits and gave to the guard, and went toward the gate.

"Stop!"

Guard shouted again.

"What?" Leon turned around confusingly and asked.

Guard looked at thunder then said.

"Ten more for the pet."
