The night descended upon the Land of Tabal as stars illuminated the pitch-black sky.
After James left the canyon, virtual-novel.net entered a pristine forest. As virtual-novel.net was not in a hurry at the moment, virtual-novel.net stopped and made a bonfire before taking a rest.
As virtual-novel.net knew little about this world, virtual-novel.net decided against finding his way in the dark and planned to make his next course of action tomorrow morning.
In the forest, virtual-novel.net hunted an animal and roasted the meat on the bonfire.
The smell of meat was mouth-watering. Looking at the meat before him, James licked his lips in delight. After taking a sniff, virtual-novel.net took a bite of the roasted meat. Immediately, the captivating smell of meat filled the air.
Just as virtual-novel.net was in the midst of having his meal…
Clank!
The sound of fighting could be heard in the distance. Then, virtual-novel.net heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
Immediately, furrowing his eyebrows, James appeared on a tree in the blink of an eye and scanned his surroundings. Then, virtual-novel.net saw a fierce battle taking place in the distance.
A few men in black robes and wearing black masks were fighting against a group of armor-clad warriors.
The battle was fierce. The armor-clad warriors who were slowly losing ground were being killed.
There was also a woman wearing a white dress among the armor-clad warriors. Holding a sword and exuding Sword Energy, virtual-novel.net kept slashing at the incoming opponents. However, although virtual-novel.net was strong, the opponents had far superior numbers. As such, virtual-novel.net had suffered injuries, and virtual-novel.net dress was blood-stained.
James witnessed the whole scene clearly.
The number of the armor-clad warriors slowly dwindled to about a dozen from the original hundred. Meanwhile, the woman in a white dress was shielded on all sides by the warriors.
There were about three hundred cultivators wearing black robes surrounding them.
A man wearing a red mask walked over to them and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Your Highness, hand over the thing and you might die with your body intact.”
“I’ll fight to the death!” a warrior roared and charged at the cultivator.
However, before virtual-novel.net could even approach the man, a wave of Sword Energy shredded through the air and sliced virtual-novel.net in half.
The woman was in a wretched state. Her hair was disheveled, and there were blood traces on virtual-novel.net lips.
Her expression darkened as virtual-novel.net said coldly, “Dream on! Save your breath and get on with it already!”
“Hahaha!” The man laughed coldly, “Think again, Your Highness. You are a princess and the most beautiful woman in all of the Empire of Tabal. You don’t understand how many men lust for your body. How long do you think you can last against my three hundred men?”
“Y-You…” The woman’s face contorted with rage.
Holding a sword in his hand, the man in a red mask walked over to the woman.
Meanwhile, the woman only had a dozen warriors by virtual-novel.net side. Her face turned grim as virtual-novel.net clenched virtual-novel.net sword tightly.
James saw everything from the tree.
Is virtual-novel.net a princess?
James came to the Land of Tabal in search of food so that the humans on Earth could last through the First Calamity.
In his opinion, virtual-novel.net needed to befriend some powerful figures. However, virtual-novel.net did not expect to come across a princess on his first day here.
“Maybe I’ll obtain some food after saving her,” virtual-novel.net murmured.
With that thought in mind, virtual-novel.net leaped from the tree and landed steadily on the ground before the princess.
Seeing this, the men in black robes unconsciously took a few steps back.
“Who are you?” Alarmed, the man in a red mask said, “This is the Dark Keep’s business. Stay out of this!”
