Lydia looked at the Crimson Tortoise excitedly.
The Crimson Tortoise was massive, and it was the size of a small hill. It had very thick limbs and a thick shell on its back.
Its whole body was fiery red, and the beast even had hair on its head that was made of fire. Its whole body felt like it was filled with explosive energy.
Lydia patted Edgar on the shoulder excitedly. “This is practically a free meal for us! That guy in front won’t be able to beat the Crimson Tortoise.”
Edgar nodded, standing in place as he waited for the Crimson Tortoise to come their way. Yet, he was surprised when the individual suddenly changed directions when they were getting closer.
The Crimson Tortoise behind him changed directions as well, heading toward the west.
Both Lydia and Edgar were stunned.
They truly believed the figure and the tortoise would come their way so Edgar could deal with the tortoise, yet they so abruptly switched directions midway.
Lydia got anxious at that. Their prize had been right in front of them before it literally walked away. There was no way he would be able to stand that.
Bjorne had just wanted to say something when they suddenly heard some swishing sounds next to them.
Lydia looked over and saw three unique-looking warriors quickly speeding over from afar. In just a few moments, the warriors landed in front of them.
The one in front had a scar that went down to the bone. Of the two behind him, one of them had triangular eyes, while the other one had a large, flat face. The three of them were dressed up in third-grade world warrior attire and had excited looks on their faces as they stood in front of Edgar and Lydia.
The scarred man had a large red sword in hand.
Bjorne had a bloodthirsty smile as he said, “Not bad! It’s another fat sheep! The brat before this gave us five golden keys, and you’re giving us seven right away. Our profits today will be great!”
The scarred man laughed arrogantly as he looked at Edgar.
Bjorne was completely bloodthirsty as if Edgar was a lamb for slaughter that had been gifted to him. Bjorne looked like he wanted to just eat Edgar. Lydia’s lips twitched.
‘Robbers, again…’
Still, this would work in their favor.
Edgar smiled as he looked at the three in disdain. “You sure are confident…”
The scarred man scoffed. “Brat, this isn’t the outer region. You sound like you’re skilled or something, but nothing you do will topple the three of us!”
The triangular-eyed man sneered as he added, “Big brother, why are you wasting time on them? Just kill them. All of the third-grade world trash that’s slightly more talented will behave this way.”
The scarred man raised an eyebrow. “I just feel like this guy is interesting. The brat next to him is clearly just a pest that doesn’t even have a stable foundation. I wouldn’t even want that guy as a slave, yet I can’t see through this guy. It doesn’t matter. No matter how skilled he is, he’s still alone. How gutsy he is to come into the inner region alone!”
As he said that, the scarred man had an inquisitive tone to his voice.
Any warrior who managed to get here should not be stupid.
The inner region was incredibly dangerous, and everyone knew that. Even so, Edgar came with nothing but a useless companion.
lf Edgar was not immensely skilled for them both, then he was just plain stupid.
The scarred man was suddenly worried.
If Edgar was hard to deal with, then would the situation not be bad for them?
The two behind him did not have the same realization. They just felt like there was no need to waste any time on Edgar. They just wanted to kill him and move on to the next target.
The flat-faced man said in exasperation, “How could he be interesting? I can’t tell at all. All I see is an arrogant fool. He’s probably never been properly beaten up before. Let’s teach him a lesson and show him what kind of place this is!”
