Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

After sending off the Tiger-faced Man once again, Tang San returned to his room. He knew that for him, the first important moment since coming to this world was about to arrive.

He quietly went to bed, sat down cross-legged, his eyes slightly narrowed, a thoughtful expression flickering in his gaze. The plan mentioned by the Tiger-faced Man unfolded in his mind,

Three hundred breaths of time... He should be able to do a lot.

In the forest, agile figures swiftly shuttle between the trees, every one of them slim and strong, leaping with ease. The trees were only stepping stones for them, not the slightest hindrance to their progress.

Their bodies were patterned with tawny spots, and with every leap, they could cover tens of meters.

Soon, they passed through the woods and onto the road. Nearly a hundred figures quickly assembled together.

The one leading stood upright, over three meters tall, his slender body exuding strength, his eyes shining with a bright yellow glow. His lethal claws slowly retracted as his body straightened—undeniably a powerful Flash Leopard.

Behind him, figure after figure gathered, obviously centering around him.

"Is it this direction?" the leading Flash Leopard pointed ahead.

A figure much shorter than him moved swiftly to his side, nodding lightly, "Flash Spirit sir, it\'s definitely this way. That place is called Wind Wolf Town."

Flash Spirit\'s eyes flashed viciously, red pulsing subtly within the yellow irises, "Wind Wolf! Dammit! Follow me." As he spoke, he leaped forward with a swipe of his hand, the other Flash Leopards showing fierce eyes as they quickly followed beside him.

The Flash Leopard who had spoken with Flash Spirit earlier, his fur slightly contracted, revealing a humanlike face, but soon after applied the Flash Leopard Transformation, blending himself back into the ranks of the Flash Leopard tribe.

Although the Flash Leopard tribe wasn\'t particularly powerful among the Various Monster Clans, the formidable presence of over a hundred Flash Leopards moving together on this road still carried an awesome might, to the extent that even some strong Monster races would give way when encountering them alone. Clearly, there was something off about these Flash Leopards\' aura.

The Flash Leopards were fast, and although they were better at short bursts of speed with greater explosive power, even without going all out, they were much faster than the average Monster. The Leopard demon lineage has always been the king of land speed.

When they stopped again, it was already at sunset. Flash Spirit slowed down and paused beneath a large tree.

He lifted his right front paw, and the Flash Leopards behind him all halted, gathering around him.

"Rest in place, wait for action tonight. This time, we must succeed; failure is not an option!" Flash Spirit\'s voice was filled with a chilling tone.

The many Flash Leopards scattered to find places to rest. A long pursuit had drained much of their bloodline power, and taking the opportunity to rest would allow them to adjust to the best condition.

"Zheng Mengqi, come here!" Flash Spirit called out sternly.

A Flash Leopard quickly flickered over, its fur silently fading away, its body slimming down, transforming into a human figure—an unmistakable human vassal.

He respectfully bowed in front of the Flash Leopard, "Flash Spirit sir."

"Show me the map," Flash Spirit waved him over.

Zheng Mengqi hurriedly took out a leather map from his bosom and spread it in front of Flash Spirit. He pointed to the pattern on the map, then glanced at the setting sun.

"Look, my lord, we should be here. We\'re less than ten kilometers away from that Wind Wolf\'s town. If we go from this side, it\'ll take approximately ten minutes. Whenever the lords are well-rested, we can move out at any time."

Flash Spirit examined the map and said, "Are you sure it\'s on this side? If you lead us astray, you know what the consequences are!"

Zheng Mengqi replied with earnest fear, "I assure you, my lord, I truly saw them come this way and enter this town. Shall we negotiate first to see if they have taken your clansmen?"

The fierce light in Flash Spirit\'s eyes flickered. "Negotiate? What\'s there to negotiate? Do you think those crafty Wind Wolves will tell the truth? Once there, we will search; I refuse to believe that a small town can turn the heavens. If I find evidence, I will annihilate their town."

An overbearing aura burst forth from Flash Spirit, the yellow light in his eyes faintly shimmering with a hint of pale golden luster.

Zheng Mengqi quickly bowed his head, respectfully saying, "I shall comply with your will."

Only then did Flash Spirit nod with satisfaction, "You may also rest now. If we find them, you will be credited for your role."

"Yes, my lord." Zheng Mengqi then found a corner, settled down with his back against a tree, and began to adjust his position. His right hand silently reached behind and touched the tree. His fingers moved, leaving several marks on the bark.

The sky gradually darkened, and night fell.

A deep growl came from the mouth of Flash Spirit. The resting Flash Leopards all sprang to their feet and gathered around it.

"Zheng Mengqi, lead the way," Flash Spirit commanded coldly.

"Yes!" Zheng Mengqi swiftly completed the Flash Leopard Transformation. Although different from a true Flash Leopard, at a glance in the twilight, it wasn\'t easy to distinguish.

Map in hand, he confirmed the direction and quickly progressed to the front.

The Flash Leopard tribe wasn\'t a Monster clan that liked to use their brains. Although the various Monster Clans had intelligence, the levels of wisdom varied. Some were particularly clever, but most monsters pursued power enhancement and weren\'t adept at thinking.

For example, reading a map was troublesome for Flash Leopards. That\'s why they were satisfied with the performance of their human vassals in these matters. It\'s also why most clans had some human vassals: to handle simple tasks.

Naturally, Zheng Mengqi would not mistake the direction; ten kilometers at a slow run wouldn\'t take long for the Flash Leopards. Soon, they could see the smoky village. What they didn\'t know was that Zheng Mengqi purposely avoided the village where the human slaves lived, to prevent the slaves from the wrath of the Flash Leopards. To the various Monster Clans, slaves were no different from livestock, and plundering slaves from each other was common, especially when both sides were already hostile.

Seeing the town not far ahead, a fierce light flickered in Flash Spirit\'s eyes. It raised its forepaw and patted Zheng Mengqi on the shoulder in a gesture of apparent satisfaction with his guidance.

"My lord, it should be here," said Zheng Mengqi respectfully.

Flash Spirit nodded and raised its right forepaw. The Flash Leopards behind it immediately split to both sides and stopped.

Flash Spirit slowly closed its eyes, and at that moment, the yellow spots on its body began emitting a faint yellow halo. Each spot seemed to come alive, gently pulsing with the flow of the halo.

The sensation was surreal; every Flash Leopard present, including Zheng Mengqi, could clearly feel their bloodline being stimulated, growing considerably hotter.
