Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Suddenly, several arrows, filled with anger, shot towards Jason and the others.
The alert Kaladi immediately saw them.
"Everyone be careful!" Kaladi shouted, quickly pushing Jason down, and Vivian and Marty also quickly lay on the ground, letting the arrows graze their scalps.
"What's going on?" Jason shouted in terror."No matter who they are, they definitely don't come with good intentions. Let's hide quickly!"
With that, Kaladi helped Jason up and ran towards the nearby forest, with Marty and Vivian quickly following behind.
No sooner had Jason left than a dozen people in black armor arrived.
"I told you not to keep shooting arrows, but you wouldn't listen. Now look, they've all run away."
The leading man scolded the others."We're just thinking about not letting them waste those enraged beast crystals, plus they're all battered and bruised after fighting those hyenas, they can't escape. Don't worry, boss!" the person next to him said.
"Alright, stop dawdling here, let's hurry up and chase them! This client is not someone to be trifled with, if we mess this up, who knows what he'll do to us!"
The leading man said, drawing the sword at his waist and heading straight into the forest Jason and the others had entered.The other half, Jason and the others, had already run deep into the forest. Seeing no movement behind them, they finally stopped.
"Damn it, why did we run? Why didn't we just fight them? Besides, once the young master reveals his identity, who would dare to touch us?" Marty said, plopping down on the ground.
"Alright, look, they were shooting at us with bows and arrows right away, clearly not afraid of us. Plus, so many arrows came at us in an instant, meaning there were at least ten of them. If we hadn't run just now, we'd probably all be dead.""Karadi said to Marty.
"Alright, alright, you're right, okay?" Marty rolled his eyes at Karadi.
"Karadi is right, no mistake. We're all battered and bruised as it is, if we keep fighting, we might just die here."
Jason dissuaded them from continuing to argue.
"What do we do now?" Vivian asked.
"Let's rest here for now. We don't know the enemy's full strength, we can't fight them. Marty, Karadi!""You two quickly absorb those rage beast crystals to increase your rage, which will also boost our overall combat power. It might come in handy if we have to fight those people later. I can even level up one of you right now," Jason said.
"Level us up? What about you, young master? Don't we only have one B-grade rage beast crystal?" Marty asked Jason.
"My arm is injured like this, even if I level up, it won't do much good. It's better to level up one of you," Jason said."Young master... then let Kaladi level up. After all, he's been with you longer, so it's fairer."
Marty said to Jason. Marty was also infected by Jason's selflessness and focus on the big picture, and no longer competed with Kaladi.
Having said that, Kaladi didn't stand on ceremony and stood in front of Jason.
"There is a target available for leveling up. Do you want to help him level up?"
"Yes!" Jason agreed without hesitation.
"You need to provide a Grade B Fury Crystal. The success rate is 70%! Level up?"
"Level up!"Jason took out the Fury Beast Crystal that he had originally intended to keep for his own upgrade.
The Fury Beast Crystal, radiating yellow fury, slowly transformed into a golden fury in Jason's hand, enveloping Kaladi. After circling Kaladi's body a few times, it entered Kaladi's body.
"Upgrade successful!"
After the success, Kaladi couldn't wait to reach out a hand and release his fury. The yellow fury gradually gathered on his palm.
"Tsk, tsk! It's really enviable to watch!"
Marty shook his head enviously from the side."Don't worry, just follow me closely, and one day you'll be able to do it too!" Jason comforted Marty.
"Young Master!"
Kaladi suddenly knelt before Jason.
"What are you doing?"
Jason was completely bewildered by Kaladi's actions.
"Before, I thought that what Young Master said about being able to upgrade rage levels was a lie, but I didn't expect it to be true, and you can even help us upgrade. This is divine power! Young Master will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
Kaladi said to Jason.
"Haha!""Of course, I only found out today that I have this ability, and that I can help others level up. Don't worry, as long as you follow me closely, I will make you stronger along with me."
Jason said with a smile.
"By the way, you must keep this a secret, after all, my ability is unprecedented in the Cardias Continent. If it leaks out, it could bring me unnecessary trouble or even death."
Jason reminded Kaladi and the others, feeling that he still didn't understand this continent enough, so he thought he should be careful.
"Don't worry, Young Master!""We definitely won't blab about this."
Everyone said to Jason in unison.
"Haha! You guys were quite the find!"
Just as Jason and the others were chatting happily, the group of mercenaries in black armor all walked over and surrounded them.
"Who are you?" Jason asked, staring at them.
"We're from the Starstab Mercenary Group. Someone paid a high price for your life."
The mercenary leader said to Jason.
"Do you know who he is? He's Jason Lyon, the son of the King of the Southern Border!""Dare you touch him?"
Marty said to the dozen or so mercenaries surrounding them.
"Of course, he's our target!" the leader said to Marty in a sarcastic tone.
"Aren't you afraid my father will seek revenge for me? He'll wipe out your entire mercenary group!"
Jason threatened the mercenary leader.
"Afraid? How could we not be? But he won't know! Because we'll kill you and destroy the evidence!"
The mercenary leader said, licking the short knife in his hand.
"If you want to touch our young master, you'll have to get past me first!""Caradi spoke, drawing his sword and standing in front of Jason.
"And me!"
Marty said, hefting his axe and standing shoulder to shoulder with Caradi.
Vivian also remained silent, drawing her dagger and taking a stance beside Caradi."
