Bai Xiaofei was indeed quite nimble, but he was still a human . And as a human, he would eventually be hit with exhaustion . Upon becoming exhausted, his speed started dropping, which resulted in the stone monster catching up and beating him . Again and again, Bai Xiaofei was sent flying by the stone monster’s fists . The amount of wounds on his body grew to the point where even his unique physique could no longer hold on .
Once again, the stone monster caught up to Bai Xiaofei . He spoke with a prideful tone, “Kid, why are you not running anymore?”
Bai Xiaofei wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and sneered . He said, “Do you think I’m already screwed?”
His words planted a trace of anxiousness in the heart of the stone monster .
“I wonder if you have heard of the name Lei Shan before,” Bai Xiaofei asked . Immediately, a sudden clap of thunder rumbled in the air . From the source of the thunderclap, Lei Shan could be seen standing there with a terrifying look of fury on his face .
In the Infinite Mountain Range, not many King Rank magical beasts were unaware of who Lei Shan was . His name was first on the list of existences that should not be provoked . Thus, the instant the stone monster saw Lei Shan, he started thinking of fleeing .

But soon after, the stone monster realized that something was off . If that was truly Lei Shan, a mere King Rank magical beast like him wouldn’t even be given the chance to think before he was killed . Unfortunately, his realization came too late . The short pause was exactly what Bai Xiaofei required .
“Die, bastard!”
Bai Xiaofei focused all his strength into his right arm . With his origin energy and the amplification provided by the Devouring the Heaven and Earth technique, green veins surfaced on his arm . Accompanied by a loud rumble, he landed a heavy punch on the stone monster’s right leg . There was a reason he had decided to hit the leg out of so many parts on the stone monster . That was because the right leg was where the radish monster was hidden .
Stones might be hard, but stones were still stones . Bai Xiaofei’s fist was able to smash through the stone, sending the radish hiding inside flying high up into the air . Then, he stamped the ground and dashed forward before grabbing the radish with his hand . By the time he landed on the ground again, fear had been plastered all over the radish’s face .
“Damn it! Do you think I have acted as your punching bag for so long for nothing? If it wasn’t for the sake of looking for your actual position, I wouldn’t have taken all your beating,” said Bai Xiaofei fiercely with the radish grabbed in his fist . He was about to kill the radish when a large hand formed of stone shot out of the ground, grabbed Bai Xiaofei’s leg, and lifted him into the air . Next, a brand new stone monster slowly crawled up from the ground . When the new stone monster was back on his feet, he stared at the hanging Bai Xiaofei .
“Let go of him or die,” a deep voice rang out from the stone monster’s mouth . Bai Xiaofei was deeply frightened, but when he heard those words, he calmed down . He had been wondering why the radish hadn’t demonstrated more control over stones even after so long . He even suspected that the radish was hiding his strength . But it turned out the radish actually had a companion . Moreover, this companion seemed to be extremely close to the radish . If that were the case, things would be much simpler .

“Do you think I’m stupid? Will I live if I let him go? Put me down right this moment . Otherwise, I don’t mind squeezing him to death . We can both die together,” Bai Xiaofei said while tightening his grip on the radish . That placed the radish in intense pain, causing him to cry out miserably .
“Ok, ok, I’ll put you down,” the stone monster replied frantically before placing Bai Xiaofei down on the ground .
“You can free him now, right? I promise we will stop bothering you if you free him,” the stone monster promised, but Bai Xiaofei completely ignored him . After expanding so much effort being a punching bag for so long, Bai Xiaofei wouldn’t quit without getting something for his troubles . . Otherwise, Bai Xiaofei wouldn’t have been known as the crafty bastard that he was .
“Sure, I can spare the radish, but not now . ” Bai Xiaofei had barely spoken those words when the stone monster became agitated .
“You liar!”
“How am I a liar? Have I promised to free the radish if you free me? It is a matter of your comprehension . If you don’t want the radish to be snapped into two, listen to me obediently,” Bai Xiaofei howled with an even louder voice . He was totally not behaving like he was facing two King Rank magical beasts . But then again, this wasn’t surprising in any way . At the academy, he was someone who dared to trick even Exquisite Rank big shots . What were two mere King Rank magical beasts?

The stone monster behaved exactly as Bai Xiaofei had expected . After listening to his words, a look of compromise surfaced on the stone monster’s face .
“Human, do not lie to me . Otherwise, you will die a miserable death!” declared the stone monster . Bai Xiaofei merely laughed as a response .
“Don’t worry . I have always been very trustworthy when dealing with magical beasts . I love my life dearly as well . We will definitely have a fruitful cooperation!” Bai Xiaofei said .
Doubt surfaced on the stone monster’s face, and the stone monster asked, “Human, what do you want me to do?”
“Become my hit man!” Bai Xiaofei immediately replied .
“Hit man? Who’s my hit?” asked the stone monster . But Bai Xiaofei did not need to reply . A loud sound rang out as three different auras appeared near the ruin . When they looked at the source of the auras, they saw three King Rank magical beasts silently staring at Bai Xiaofei and the stone monster .
One of them was a gorgeously colored, large butterfly . The butterfly’s wings were flapping, building a cloud of dust around the pair of wings . No matter how one looked at the cloud of dust, it did not look like something one wanted to get near to .
There was also an extremely bulky rhinoceros covered with scales . This rhinoceros had the strongest presence among the three . Just by standing there, Bai Xiaofei had a sense of helplessness .
And the final magical beast was an extremely unique humanoid beast . The only things separating this magical beast from a normal human were its two tentacles, green skin, and long tail .
When Bai Xiaofei saw the newly arrived magical beasts, he started feeling regretful . He regretted that he had not studied hard in the past . Otherwise, the current situation where he knew nothing about all three of the magical beasts would not have arisen .
“Can you beat them?” Bai Xiaofei gulped and asked his only hope, the stone monster beside him .
“I can beat the Toxic Overlord Butterfly, but I can do nothing about the Steel Rhinoceros and the Draconic Man,” the stone monster replied honestly . At those words, Bai Xiaofei stealthily stole a glance at Hu Xian’er . The clump of liquid was still slowly fusing into Hu Xian’er’s magic core . There was no sign that this process was going to end anytime soon .
“Just try your best . If you can last ten minutes, I will free the radish . You can decide if you want to stay or leave then,” Bai Xiaofei spoke in a low voice, giving the stone monster a ray of hope . The stone monster had enough confidence to survive ten minutes .
