In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 36 Little brother, come with your sister...

We traveled for about five or six days, stopping and starting along the way.

Xiao Ran finally arrived at this small town near the Monster Mountain Range.

The town is called Green Mountain Town, but it is also known as Warcraft Town because of its proximity to the Warcraft Mountains.

In this small town, the majority of people naturally work in groups, forming cliques and gangs to do manual labor.

At the same time, he also works as a mercenary, risking his life on the line.

"Phew, finally arrived here. This has been exhausting. I must improve my cultivation level as much as possible, even if it's just to reach the Dou Wang realm. At least then I can fly, right?"

Under the sunlight, Xiao Ran wiped his forehead.

I feel like I'm getting a bit tanned by the sun.

But for the sake of his own happiness, Xiao Ran persevered through all the way, and he will have to practice more in the future!

Of course, it's not that Xiao Ran didn't want to find a magical beast or something similar as a mount; the key is that in a small place like Wutan City, such things aren't popular, and they would be too conspicuous.

I don't have the means right now, so even if I had that thing, it wouldn't be convenient to use it when I'm out and about.

Moreover, the mount he chose for himself was a sixth-tier magical beast deep in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and only it could barely be considered worthy of his status.

Besides refining the sub-fire of the Taiyin True Fire, the purpose of this trip was to see if Elder Ling could find an opportunity to help me deal with that bastard.

On this continent of Dou Qi, things like Dou Qi transforming into horses or donkeys do not exist.

Of course, once you reach a certain level, as long as you're not afraid of looking cheap, you can wear any makeup.

Moreover, once a powerful individual reaches the Dou Zhe level, their speed, when fully utilizing their Dou Qi, can even surpass that of an ordinary horse.

Therefore, over time, horses as a means of transportation naturally fell out of favor among the powerful on the Dou Qi Continent.

Only those horses with exceptional talent and outstanding bloodlines are qualified to survive on the Dou Qi Continent and become embellishments for noble families or royalty during their travels.

Or they might be old horses, used only by ordinary people for travel.

Xiao Ran raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then looked at the shops on both sides of the street.

"Green Mountain Town? If I remember correctly, that Little Fairy Doctor should already be here by now, right?"

Because of its advantageous location and favorable conditions, business on the streets of Qingshan Town is extremely booming.

Weapons, armor, medicines, and everything else were available, but Xiao Ran had no interest in any of them.

With his current perspective, he naturally wouldn't look down on these low-level items.

Moreover, with the system at your fingertips, you can level up and become stronger simply by doing tasks while lying down.

There's absolutely no need for other powerful individuals to fight tooth and nail for any opportunity, or to rack up huge debts for any pills or medicinal herbs, only to end up exhausted like dogs.

Of course, Xiao Ran also knew that such things should not be known to others for too long.

The rumors about him being a sleeping god were spread through his request to the Xiao family.

After all, there is a diligent and hardworking genius who makes rapid progress, and a genius who clearly has a high talent for cultivation but is always lazy and unwilling to cultivate properly.

Compared to the former, the latter can always, intentionally or unintentionally, defuse many of the schemes of those with ulterior motives.

After all, Xiao Ran at that time only had the strength of a Dou Zhe (a powerful martial artist), so how could he protect himself?

Being too famous isn't necessarily a good thing.

But making a fool of yourself occasionally isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Pulling his thoughts back, Xiao Ran's gaze fell on the rolling mountains outside the town of Qingshan.

Looking at the mountains stretching for miles, covered in lush green forests, Xiao Ran couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature.

Xiao Ran casually found a teahouse, sat down, ordered two cups of fragrant tea, and rested.

However, he underestimated the allure of his handsome face in this small town of green hills.

He had only been sitting down for a short while when many scantily clad female mercenaries came up to him and struck up a conversation.

"Little brother, are you all grown in yet? Why are you here?"

"Hehe, little brother, want to have some fun? Your big sister is very caring!"

"Hehe, your older sister too, especially little brothers like you!"

"..."

"I'm still young, please move aside! Thank you!" Xiao Ran kindly advised.

These female mercenaries seemed to have long since abandoned any sense of shame; their passionate and seductive demeanor was even more alluring than that of an old lecher seeing a beautiful woman.

If a man is lucky enough to harass a woman, a powerful figure might come to her aid.

However, Xiao Ran was surrounded by these female mercenaries and freely meditated, but most of them ignored him. Even those who stayed behind just watched the show with amusement.

However, Xiao Ran could understand these female mercenaries. After all, no one knew if they would come back alive from the mission tomorrow, so they naturally did whatever they wanted.

However, understanding is one thing, but that doesn't mean Xiao Ran can accept it.

Xiao Ran, holding his teacup, frowned and said coldly, "Ladies, you've got the wrong person. Please step aside!"

"Hehe~ Little brother, don't be shy!"

"Come with me, I'll take care of you..."

Xiao Ran slammed his hand on the table, shattering the teapot.

The tea instantly burst open, like sharp arrows, and with lightning speed, before the female mercenaries could react, it shot towards their faces.

"Ah! A Battle Master level expert!"

The female mercenary exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that Xiao Ran was actually a powerful figure!

She felt immense regret for choosing the wrong prey; if there were an afterlife, she would never provoke a handsome young man again.

However, just as they closed their eyes and awaited death.

The water arrows that were aimed at their faces suddenly exploded.

Tea splashed all over my face.

Xiao Ran exuded the aura of a powerful Dou Shi (Battle Master) expert, coldly glancing at the group.

"Are you feeling better now?"

"My lord! I know I was wrong!"

"Sir, have mercy!"

Several female mercenaries pleaded for mercy, looking pitiful.

The other mercenaries watching were even more astonished, their eyes widening in surprise.

They all stood there, stunned, not daring to move an inch.

Just now.

A system notification sounded in Xiao Ran's mind.

[Ding! Host detected in Green Mountain Town, quest triggered!]

[Please stay at the designated location in Qingshan Town for a full twenty hours within one hour to complete the task and receive a generous reward!]

[Countdown: 7200 seconds, 7199 seconds...]

Xiao Ran was overjoyed, never expecting such an opportunity during his trip.

The system task was triggered on its own! This is fantastic news!

The female mercenaries, whose skills had been revealed by Xiao Ran earlier, all looked at him cautiously.

One of the bolder ones took out a money bag from his pocket and respectfully placed it on the table in front of Xiao Ran.

"My lord, please spare us! We promise we won't do it again!"

Xiao Ran snapped out of his daze, and was now in a much better mood.

He picked up the money bag casually; it contained about fifty gold coins.

He weighed it in his hand for a moment, then casually tossed it back.

Then he took a gold coin from his storage ring and placed it on the table.

"From now on, don't even think about seducing minors, neither boys nor girls, or you'll go to jail!"
