Looking down at the mutted corpse of his first kill, Cain calmly stared at it. He finally did it; he took the first proper step in this universe and killed another human.
In order to ensure his own survival, he had to kill or risk bing a ve. And there wasn''t any chance in hell he would roll over and be some ve dog for some random organization in these woods.
Thinking about this, Cain almost immediately realized something.
He felt utterly indifferent to killing. Even as he''s staring up close to the gore that remained of the leather armor man, nothing bothered Cain.
In fact, Cain was more so feeling slight sensations of disappointment over this fight. Disappointment in that this fight was as quickly as their fight with the vicious beasts.
At this point, Cain was considering he may need to fight people at a higher level rather than the same level for a good challenge.
Shaking his head at this thought, Cain then turned his attention to the leader. His indifferent cold eyes swept over the leader, gazing upon him as if was nothing but a bug on the road.
"Yo-you!!"
The leader waspletely warped with fear. Under that cold gaze, the leader felt like the grim reaper was pouring holes into his face.
His fears started to frantically increase as Cain began to take slow steps over to him.
At that moment, the leader''s mind was going a million miles per second. He obviously didn''t want to die, and in a desperate attempt to preserve his life, he began to beg.
"Wa-wait! I-I-I-the Liang Tribe! They ca-"
''Chi!''
Another sickening wet thump loudly echoed in the cave. Then, exactly like the previous boy, Cain smashed his fist straight on the leader''s head, causing it to explode in a gory mess of blood and bones.
This was Cain''s second kill, and he cared little about it.
In all honesty, Cain didn''t want to hear anything else that man had to say. He could tell the best information they would get out is there''s some organization named the Liang Tribe around these words.
Anything further than that would be useless.
Cain didn''t even see any spatial rings on these guys'' fingers, meaning they must''ve been some low-level grunts for that tribe.
In the midst of his thoughts, Cain heard another wet thump bounce off the cave''s walls. Peerings his eyes over to the sound, he saw that Kali, just like him, finished off thest Liang Tribe man with a simple fist to his face.
Also, just like him, Kali was entirely calm about performing her first kill. Hell, more than Cain actually, she let the disappointment she had clearly show on her face.
"Huu….just too weak." Kali lowly muttered under her breath.
Being born and raised in one of the most luxurious organizations in the God Gxy, it was only to be expected she had zero qualms about killing. Especially considering she''s in a ce far lower than her imperial family.
Once everything was finally done and over with it, Cain suddenly felt himself growing a smirk on his lips.
It was at this moment he let go of any thoughts concerning his previous world. His distortedmon sense would fit just perfectly within this universe.
Right then, Cain was broken from his thoughts as Kali began to stroll up to him. She was repeatedly shaking her head in evident disappointment while saying,
"Well, brother, it seems wended up in too low of an area, or we''re just too strong. Cause I mean, this is still a top-tier Mortal in any case. So I''m thinking it''s a little bit of both."
"To be fair, Kali, we are the grandchildren of Dragon Emperors and Empress." Cain nonchntly shrugged as if it couldn''t be helped. "If we''re equal level to someone, I doubt they can give us a decent challenge on this Mortal."
Kali thinks it over for a moment before eventually shrugging her shoulders. Indeed, it would be more strange if they were to struggle hard with weak cultivators and vicious beasts only in the Spirit Opening realm.
Taking her eyes off from Cain for a moment, Kali gazed around the cave. The putrid stench of blood and guts assaulted her nostrils, causing her to scrunch up her nose a bit.
"Ehh….I think we should find a new cave to cultivate in. There''s a chance more of those Liang Tribe men coulde here just in case people knew these three wereing here. Plus, it just in stinks here."
Kali quickly turned her attention back towards the cave''s entrance and began slowly walking out.
Nodding his head in agreement, Cain saddles right beside Kali, saying, "Sounds good. And maybe, we''ll meet some stronger people from that tribe that would want us to be ves."
"Oh man, I really would like to see them try." Kali grew excited just at the thought of fighting even greater opponents.
The same excitement swelled in Cain''s chest, also hoping they could find something to truly test their limits.
Promptly then, Cain and Kali were back out in the open. The sibling duo searched their eyes through the woods before Cain randomly pointed a direction to go on.
Because they had no maps, this was their only option to travel.
If those Liang Tribe men actually had spatial rings, neither Cain nor Kali would have hesitated to rob their corpses.
Unfortunately, it seemed they would need to aimlessly travel some more. But, considering they did meet with the Liang Tribe men, Cain and Kali did feel hopeful there may be more people around.
Then, without any words, Cain and Kali set off in this random direction.
….
A couple of hours soon passed.
During this time, Cain and Kali walked non stopped. With their vigor being far higher than any humans or any Early Spirit Opening cultivator, the sibling duo had actually traversed half a mile already.
And neither of them was tired at all. It truly was like Cain and Kali already didn''t have a need for sleep.
This aspect, while Cain found it helpful, felt a bit strange. He''s more than aware that once somebody gets into higher realms of cultivation, basic necessities get automatically taken off.
Like the need for sleep, hunger, cleanliness, or anything like this, Qi energy could do most of the work.
The odd thing for Cain was the fact that Spirit Qi is the weakest and most rudimentary of Qi energy.
Although they could go far longer than the average mortal without basic necessities, an average Spirit Opening cultivation would still need to take the time to eventually do so.
Cain learned all of this from Kali.
Just like him, Kali also found it a bit strange that they seemed to have this bundle of overflowing energy. However, she simply attributed it to the fact that they do have a Dragon God bloodline and a Dragon body.
She ims this is but one of the many superior differences they have over other races.
Cain could only wryly smile at her words, realizing that the longer their journey continues, the more of Kali''s slumbering dragon pride emerges.
Focusing back on the present, Cain was just about to stop Kali and tell her they should pick a cave around here. He deemed it was far enough from the cave, and it seemed like there wasn''t anyone else around this area.
But as he opened his mouth to speak, he abruptly snapped his attention towards his right. At the same time, Kali also whipped her gaze in the same direction as Cain.
Finally, after all of this time, the sibling duo perceived multiple presences!
And the sensation they felt from this group caused a battle-hungry smile to split on both Cain and Kali''s faces.
This time, they both felt a true sense of danger from this group. They weren''t overwhelmingly strong nor pathetically weak. It was at the right level for Cain and Kali to truly experience some satisfaction while fighting.
"Great….great! I can sense it, Cain. None of them are too strong and are just enough. After all this walking, it''s time for us to stretch our bones, shall we?"
"Of course, but first."
Cain had suddenly summoned his Chaotic Emerald. Quickly he injected his soul energy into the Chaotic Emerald, seizing an abundance of Chaos Energy.
After only a second, Cain released two Chaos Energy rays into his and Kali''s body. He instantly performed Chaotic Concealment, masking their levels to everyone''s senses.
Cain had then de-summoned the Chaotic Emerald while saying, "With this, we should safely assess the situation first. Even for us, I don''t want to go into full charge. The group here are most likely more organized since they''re more of them."
"Got it." Kali readily agreed.
Then very quietly and slowly, Cain and Kali got close to those multiple presences. They both had a feeling it would be more of the Liang Tribe men but couldn''t rule out the possibility of some other power around here.
Soon enough, the sibling duo got close until they were 200 feet away from their group.
Then, they both sneakily hid behind a ratherrge tree that perfectly covered up their visage.
Slowly peeking out from the tree, Cain and Kali specifically directed Spirit Qi into their eyes. A slight stinging pain that caused the sibling duo to narrow their eyes coursed between them.
In exchange for this slight sting, Cain and Kali could see marginally better than before. And honing their sights in the presences ahead, their previous suspicions were proven right.
200 feet ahead looked to what Cain found simr to an army campsite. Although, the difference here was the fact that these tents were all muchrger and had a better design.
And walking around this camp area where three men Cain and Kali did not know but could recognize.
For as these three men were wearing the same brown leather armor design as the ones they killed in theirst cave.
