In the quiet backyard of Perrost Magic Academy, Locke was lying on the bed, wrapped like a dumpling. The most serious part of his right arm and lower abdomen, and bones could be seen on the wound on his arm. Louise used water-based healing magic many times to stabilize the wound.

Sophie lay beside Rock's bed, her eyes crying red, and Noah and Louise temporarily put aside the news of inquiring about the evil land.

"Little girl, I'm fine." Rock looked at Sophie and smiled, "This little injury is nothing. You'll be fine if you lie down for a few days. Don't cry anymore. Come on, laugh!"

Sophie shook her head and said seriously: "From now on, I will practice hard, and I will never bully you again in the future."

Locke smiled and said nothing. He felt it was necessary to teach Sophie some magic, but he had to ask Yan Feng for his consent.

When the three of them left, Locke sighed heavily. This battle touched him a lot. If it weren't for the Five Demon God's Methods, if it weren't for the Dragon Staff, he would probably die. Although he had high-level magic, as the level increased, many high-level magic lost their effect. Advanced Fireball and Advanced Wind Blade Technique had little effect when dealing with fourth-level powerful people. Although it was advanced magic, it was only relative to the primary magician.

"What we need to do now is to improve our strength! Otherwise, the powerful magic cannot be used, and even if it can be used, it cannot exert its true power." On the southern continent that day, Yan Feng used the "Fourth Slash of the Rebellion Swords" to the point, but he could not even break the protection of the fifth-level magician.

After thinking for a while, Locke fell asleep. This magic demanded too much mental power. If the soul was not strong enough, it would be easily retaliated. Yan Feng rested for a while that day.

Locke lies for a month. A month later, the strong men who went to the evil land and the Zongheng Mountains returned one after another. Many strong men living in this backyard of Perrost Magic Academy also returned one after another.

Over the past few days, Rock, Sophie, Noah and Louise have been a little anxious. Huoyueer, Sawyer, and Jason still have not appeared. Louise also asked some people, but there was no news about the three of them.

Two more days later, just as Locke and others were having lunch in the yard, three figures walked in. Everyone responded and saw Belu, Sawyer, and Jason coming over. Noah and Louise suddenly felt a look of joy, put down the tableware in their hands and greeted them. Sophie also rushed towards Jason excitedly.

Rock looked at the three of them, but his face darkened. All three of them were back, but only Huo Yue'er was not seen. Rock felt bad in his heart. Although Huo Yue'er was usually talking nonsense, Rock believed that he was a trustworthy person.

After a few people chatted intimately for a while, Locke walked forward and said, "Mr. Sawyer, why didn't Huo Yue'er come back?"

After hearing Locke's question, the three of them also looked darker. Sawyer sighed and said, "He is missing!"

"Missing?" Locke's heart sank. Could it be that something happened to the fat man?

Sawyer said: "This time we entered the evil land, which was as dangerous as ever. Less than half an hour before we entered, the danger suddenly came. Fortunately, Mr. Jason had a teleportation scroll, so Belu and I escaped this disaster."

"Our group of twenty people went in, and Master Huo Yue'er and several other eighth-level strong men walked ahead. But suddenly the strong men died suddenly. At that time, I didn't have time to start the teleportation scroll immediately. Master Sawyer and Dean Beiru happened to be by my side, and Master Huo Yue'er was really far apart and could not escape together," Jason sighed.

After hearing what the two said, Locke's heart sank. Although Huo Yue'er stayed under Yan Feng's pressure and they often had disputes when they were together, they were just a joke that was not painful. Locke was used to having such a carefree fat man around him.

"Locke, don't be too sad. It's not a good thing for Huo Yue'er to disappear like this. At least die as a strong man, rather than waiting for death to come." Sawyer comforted.

Although the three of them just said that Huo Yue'er was missing, how could Locke not know that it was almost impossible to survive in that situation. After a while, Locke and the three of them said politely for a few words and went back to the room.

As night fell, the world fell into darkness. Locke sat quietly in front of the table and chairs. He did not light the lights, but let himself sink into the darkness. Locke did not practice all day long. Although he was ruthless, he would not blink his eyes when he took human life. But if he didn't do that, he might be himself. He was also a flesh-and-blood person. Huo Yue'er had been with him for so long, how could he have no feelings?

"Fatty, it's easy for you to leave!" Locke sighed faintly in the darkness.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the door, and the door was knocked: "Locke, are you sleeping?" The sound was very beautiful, it was Noah.

"Come in!" Locke said lightly.

The door was pushed open, and Locke also lit the lamp on the table at this time. Noya walked in lightly. When she saw the wine glass and a plate of peanuts on the table, her eyebrows couldn't help but frown.

"Why do you learn to drink at a young age?"

Lock ignored it, picked up the wine glass and drank it, and said, "Are you here to say goodbye?"

"Farewell?" Noya was slightly stunned, and then said, "I'm here to tell you that my grandfather wants to move here!"

Locke nodded and said disapprovingly: "Come on if you want to come!" How could Locke not know that Sawyer should have come here to protect him instead of Huo Yue'er.

"You are still young, don't drink alcohol, it's bad for your health!" Noya said with concern.

"Oh!" Locke smiled indifferently and said, "I remember when I first met you, you were very arrogant and were bothering you to compete with me. Why do you care about people now?"

Noya glanced at him and said, "When I first met you, you were also a sloppy and dirty boy. But..."

"But what?"

"But I found that you are different from the surface, your mind, your words and actions are the same as those of an adult!" Noya expressed his doubts. Not only him, but everyone couldn't understand why this young man was like this. Many times he accidentally treated him as an adult.

"I have all my wives, aren't I still an adult?" Locke smiled.

"Little kid, take less advantage of me"

"What do you mean to take advantage of you? Is your grandfather back now and I can't get off with me?"

"Of course not!" Noya blurted out, and as soon as he said that, two red glows appeared on his pretty face.

"Okay, I won't joke with you," Noya said seriously: "I may have to go on a long trip in two days, up to two months, and back at the latest half a month."

“Where to go?”

"Hengduan Mountains!"

"Your grandpa is willing to let you go. Besides, what are you doing there? If you are accidentally swallowed by a monster, then the betrothal gift I gave will be in vain."

"Shut up your crow's mouth, and you let the monster swallow it." Noya continued: "This time the academy will organize students to go to the battlefield between the strong humans and monsters not long ago. They will also go deep into the outer periphery of the Hengduan Mountains to inquire. It is said that some monsters will often die on the periphery after they escape seriously and many monsters are treasures."

"Why are you so greedy for money? Just thinking about your baby"

"I just want to go and experience it. Some people of the same age as me have been there several times, but I haven't been there once. Grandpa finally agreed!" Noya said.

Locke thought for a while and said, "I want to go too!"

Noya heard what he said, and hurriedly said, "You can't go. If you leave Desri City, you may cause a lot of trouble. Not to mention the enemies of the southern continent, the people of the Talia family will not let you go."

"I'm not afraid. If they dare to come and cause trouble, I will kill them." Locke said with a faint smile. Although it seemed like he was joking, he really wanted to go in his heart. Now that Huo Yue'er is missing, Yan Feng is sleeping, and there is no guarantee once he leaves here. However, Locke knows that the flowers growing in the greenhouse are definitely not as hard as those grown in the wind and rain. What he will face in the future is a giant and cannot always rely on external forces. Also, in this world, strength can determine many things, and the survival of the weak is an unchanging rule.

Noya said: "Don't be too confident. Although everyone who went there this time was young people. But your strength is not enough to be seen in the entire city of Desri. There are several fifth-level strong men in their twenties in the north city. There are one in each of the three major families of Lelin, Pud and Holmer, one in the inner courtyard of Perrost Magic Academy and two in the outer courtyard. These people are very powerful. Besides, the Talia family is an affiliated family of the Lelin family, so they may not be able to attack you directly."

Locke smiled but said nothing. Although these people were not the ones he could compete with, they were not enough in his eyes. The princes and princesses among the five tribes in the southern continent were not sixth-level powerhouses. Especially the crown prince has entered the seventh-level level.

"Why are you giggling? Although you killed the fifth-level magician of the Talia family, you have to say that you have taken some tricks at that time. If you fight normally, you may have died long ago when you finish chanting the spell."

"Okay, I promise you not to go. But you have to promise me one thing." Seeing that Noya really cared about him, Locke couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

"What's the matter?" Noya rolled her beautiful eyes and asked.

Locke smiled evilly and said, "Sleep with me in the future!"

"I think beautifully!" Noya dropped three words and stood up and walked out.

"Where is the wife and husband sleeping in separate rooms!" Locke shouted to Qianli's back.

After this small episode, Locke, who felt dull because of Huo Yue'er's death, couldn't help but feel better. He decided that he would go and have a look with him this time and experience it on the outskirts of the Hengduan Mountains. After all, it is far from enough to rely on cultivation alone, and practical experience is also very important.
