THE GIANT BAT

Kome was left with no choice

the prince already gave the order to have him killed if he refuse to go with them. Also, the prince was right when he said that the son of a prisoner is a slave. He was left alone because of his grandma who happens to be a strong cultivator. The child or children of a prisoner are not allowed to cultivate by the rules set by the king, any child of a prisoner found cultivating are to be killed immediately. The king did that out of fear of retaliation from these kids if they become strong enough.

But Kome is a stubborn child, he cultivated in secret, although he's not as strong as these royal kids, who are at the third and fourth level of Qi condensation stage, he's still stronger than most kids. With the ring given to him by his grandma he's able to hide his Qi fluctuation so no one could detect that he's a cultivator and that's why he is still alive.

Andrew finally saw an opportunity to deal with Kome but he was soon dissapointed because Kome agreed to go with them willingly.

They went deeper into the forest and surprisingly nothing happened, it was as if there aren't any beast in the forest or the beast didn't notice their presence.

Kome was really surprised because he was told that beasts of different levels live in this part of the forest.

The forest are divided into four parts and there are long magical threads demarcating the four parts.

The first part is where they just left where all kinds of low quality herbs could be found.

The second part of the forest is filled with all kinds of low level beasts from level 1 to 3. And the remaining two parts? well the prince and trio are not strong enough to go there.

-----------------

Kome was still wondering why he hasn't seen any beast in the forest when something attacked him from behind.

A Giant Bat- The bat looks bigger than a human baby, with wings shapper than ordinary blade - it could use it's wings to attack and defend, unless one was a cultivator one would be defenceless against this giant bat!

The bat attacked Kome from behind with full speed. Kome turned facing the bat and quickly drew out his sword from it's sheath ---- he slashed the bat with his full body strength - but all he heard was the sound of iron hitting iron

Oh Shit!!!! --- It's a level 2 beast, i can't kill it without revealing my cultivation -- what do i do???

"Please help me,, i don't want to die" he shouted!!
