After waiting for about 15 to 20 minutes, their eyes have started adjusting to the darkness.
They're starting to see the surroundings.
At first, it wasn't clear. But then it gradually become clearer and clearer.
"Have you guys adjusted?" Cloud asked as he see that his other eye have started to adjust.
He also see that the two are starting to look around their left and right so he pretty much can already guessed.
But he asked anyway to see if they're already comfortable of moving in their current condition.
They might want to wait a bit longer.
The two doesn't answer Cloud right away. They first observe their surroundings to see if they can already see clearly enough.
They then answer after a delay. "I'm good." Fang Yue said. "Let's go." Xiao Fan said after that.
"This way. Let's first see the situations." Cloud said, pointing to the way he took last time. The one that lead to the dead end.
They would be able to observe the situation below from there.
"There are no spirit beasts the last time I went that way. But be vigilant. There might be some this time." Cloud said before they go.
The two nodded then Cloud start running after saying, "Let's hurry. We don't have all day."
The two can only quickly follow without being able to answer. Cloud has already run before they can.
The three then run toward the destination. They don't run at full speed. It can be said that they are only jogging.
But the speed of their jog is even faster compared to the sprint of a professional runner in Cloud's previous world.
After a few minutes, Fang Yue and Xiao Fan start to notice the change in the surrounding world qi.
Now, they are finally 100 percent sure that Cloud is not lying. Not that they believe Cloud is lying before.
It's just that Cloud's story is not a common one. So they can only be sure after seeing it for themselves.
After a few more minutes, they arrive at the dead end. They didn't encounter any spirit beast on the way.
While Fang Yue and Xiao Fan is marveling at the dense world qi in the surroundings, Cloud start walking to the end of the jutting wall.
When he almost reach the end, he start lying on the ground then begin crawling to the end.
He then take peek at the ground from the edge of the jutting wall.
After looking, he mentioned with his hand to Xiao Fan and Fang Yue, telling them to come over.
He also mentioned with his finger at his mouth, Indicating that they should not make too much noise.
The two understands and they start walking toward Cloud, following Cloud's steps exactly.
When they peek down, they can see that there are several spirit beasts around.
The boars from last time are still there.
There are seven that they can see at this time but the big one is among them.
After observing for a few minutes, they back away from the edge then they walk back through the way they came from.
After they put some distance between them and the edge, they start sharing their thoughts.
"That big one, it should be a mid stage qi gathering beast." Fang Yue said.
"Mid stage qi gathering beast? What do you mean?" Xiao Fan asked.
He can guess what she meant but he wants to know the details since he never learned about it properly.
Cloud didn't say anything since he also wants to listen to the explanation.
Fang Yue then start explaining about it to the two.
Spirit Beasts are categorized into Early, Mid, then Late stage. Each corresponding to cultivator's first to third stage, fourth to sixth stage, and seventh to ninth stage.
As for their realms, it's pretty much the same as cultivator's. That's why Fang Yue called the big boar a Mid Stage Qi Gathering Beast.
This is pretty much the summary of Fang Yue's explanation.
The two then shows a look of understanding after listening to Fang Yue. This is the first time that they learn about this matter.
So that's how the spirit beasts are categorized.
"Do you think we would have trouble fighting it?" Cloud asked Fang Yue after that.
He wants to hear her opinions since she seems to be the most knowledgeable about this matter.
Fang Yue think for a moment before she answers.
"We should be able to win if we're careful. The problem would be the other early stage spirit beasts. We must get rid of them first so that we can focus on the big one." She said after shaking her head.
The two agrees with her opinion. This seems to be the most effective way to win.
They must get rid of the weaker spirit beasts first.
