Chapter 1478 Alps Mohan

Xia Fan found some long straight crystals and made Sarah a stretcher from them. This was no normal stretcher, as the base had some grooves cut into it. They were where Sarah’s flying daggers could be slotted in like thrusters in a warship, allowing the stretcher to propel itself and fly in the air.

As long as the stretcher could float, then what happened next would be simple. Using a rope connected to the front of the stretcher, Sarah would just focus on keeping herself afloat while Xia fan would race along with Sarah in tow. It looked like he was flying a kite, and though it was a simple construction, it was rather effective. Though Xia Fan was still unable to go at full speed, they were at least able to move at a speed several times higher than Xia Fan was moving while carrying Sarah.

“This works. Lie down and be careful. Tell me if you can’t endure it any longer,” Xia Fan said with a smile to Sarah after testing it a few times.

Sarah nodded, “It’s just my waist that has been injured, and that doesn’t affect my brain using my special ability. Don’t worry about it.”

!!

Thus, Xia Fan began sprinting through the forest while dragging Sarah along on the stretcher. He kept sniffing the air, hoping to catch some trace of Traveling Buddha and the others, but it was too bad that there was a limit to the range of his Scent special ability. There was no wind underground, which meant there was no air flow. The situation reduced the effectiveness of his Scent special ability by quite a bit, and even after seven days’ time, Xia Fan had still not found any trace of Traveling Buddha. Though Xia Fan believed that Traveling Buddha would not have died so easily, he of course could not help but still worry about him.

The atmosphere became somewhat odd. Sarah was lying on the stretcher, looking up to the sky, with Xia Fan pulling her along. The two of them became inseparable. Though she could not see Xia Fan, she could hear the sound of him running, and that reassured her. She even thought that it would not be too bad if things carried on like this for longer…

Suddenly, Xia Fan came to a halt. Right in front of him was a rapidly rising patch of black soil. It looked like there was someone or something climbing out from the soil. Because the soil masked any scent, Xia Fan had been unable to detect their presence early. Still, someone who could traverse through soil ought to possess an earth-type special ability…

A middle-aged man stood up from the soil. Sure enough, he had an earth-type special ability, since any ordinary person would surely be covered in dirt if they were to get up from the ground like he had , yet he was not in the least bit dirty. It was like the soil had been ordered otherwise and just slipped cleanly off his body.

What shocked Xia Fan even more was that this was not someone from the Outer Frontier. He had fair skin, sharp eyes, and a wide mouth. The exquisite soft battlesuit he wore was probably from the famed brand Royal Ark Company. Such a high-quality battle suit would cost more than ten million Federation dollars. That was extremely expensive, but because the middle-aged man had a fat body, no matter how high grade his battlesuit was, it just looked quite gaudy on him.

In the next second, the middle-aged man widened his eyes and dashed toward Xia Fan, yelling, “Sarah! What happened to you? Sarah, look at me! It’s Alps Mohan!”

To think we would actually meet someone she knew?

Xia Fan was surprised. He had originally planned to stop the burly middle-aged man, but he instead held back and did not make a move. If he had the Alps surname, then he was probably from Sacred Federation’s famous Broken Alps clan. Furthermore, the Royal Ark Company battlesuit he wore was also a company from Sacred Federation, and the truth plain to see after any extrapolation.

Sarah heard his voice and stirred. She wanted to get up, and had forgotten that her waist was still severely injured. Seeing that, Xia Fan quickly dashed over and pressed down on Sarah’s shoulder, warning her not to make any sudden movements or cause her wound to reopen.

This man by the name of Alps Mohan saw this scene and instantly became angry. He unceremoniously reached a hand out and shoved Xia Fan forcefully, “What are you doing!? Don’t touch Sarah, or I’ll break your arm!”

Xia Fan was somewhat peeved. He had been the one who had taken care of Sarah all this time, only for this Alps Mohan person to suddenly appear and even threaten him. Just who did he think he was?

But Sarah stirring abruptly upon hearing from Alps Mohan made Xia Fan consider that Alps Mohan could very well be Sarah’s friend. No matter how annoyed he was feeling inside, he decided to just furrow his brow slightly and stand aside.

It was like a reunion between the two.

Alps Mohan leaned close to Sarah and the two shared an intimate conversation. After some time, another three warriors who were similarly from Sacred Federation hurried over from afar. From their words, Xia Fan learned that Sacred Federation had also sent people to infiltrate the special ability Tyrant Battle, except that they had not placed the same measure of importance to the mission as had the Starcloud Union. The Starcloud Union had sent even the inheritors from the Union’s founding clans like Traveling Buddha and Thousand Ink for this covert operation. It could be said that they had given it their all, while the Sacred Federation had only sent a regular reconnaissance team.

The leader of the team was none other than Alps Mohan!

“We originally came with eight people, but after the catastrophe struck, only the four of us were still alive,” Alps Mohan was very agitated as he told Sarah about his plight. Sarah also explained how she had ended up together with Xia Fan, though she did not mention the incident of Xia Fan killing Xiao Wu. She was intentionally protecting Xia Fan, so it seemed like Sarah had already forgiven Xia Fan in the time the two had spent together.

“Hmph!” After Alps Mohan heard Sarah’s story, he snorted coldly and turned to face Xia Fan. Xia Fan was born with a smiling face, and he was on the skinny side. This made him look rather innocent, and did not have the aura expected of an expert.

Alps Mohan mused aloud, “Oh, so you’re someone from Starcloud Union? You must be the deadweight who caused Sarah to be in the current state she’s in right now! Otherwise, given Sarah’s combat capabilities, there’s no way she would have been so severely injured! Now that we’ve found Sarah, you can scram!”

Xia Fan frowned, but he did not leave. He was well aware that given the strength of Alps Mohan and the others, there was no way they could take care of Sarah!

When Alps Mohan saw that Xia Fan was not leaving, he instantly began reprimanding him, “Say, do you understand human language? I told you to scram!”

That was when Sarah grabbed Alps Mohan’s hand and said with difficulty, “You shouldn’t be like that. Xia Fan is my benefactor.”

Alps Mohan remained belligerent, “Look at how skinny he is, how could he have saved you? Don’t make me laugh!

“Sarah, we know how kind hearted you are, but this person is from Starcloud Union, and you ought to be aware that the Sacred Federation has always been at odds with them. Having him with us would just mean we’re gaining an additional burden. Heck, perhaps he might even be bad-hearted. Trust me, this man isn’t anyone good. Look at how treacherous of a smile he has. He’s sure to be a swindler!”

Xia Fan found this hilarious. Everyone had said that Xia Fan’s smile was as welcoming as a spring breeze, and was absolutely friendly. This was actually the first time someone had claimed that his smile was treacherous! Humans were all emotional creatures, and the moment Alps Mohan decided to view Xia Fan with loathing, even a smile from Xia Fan was enough to disgust Alps Mohan.

Sarah got agitated, and she struggled to get up from the stretcher, doing everything she could to speak in defense of Xia Fan. But Alps Mohan’s hatred for Xia Fan only deepened further when he saw how much she protected the outsider. However, in order to appease Sarah, Alps Mohan had no choice but to agree to let Xia Fan follow them.

Sarah said to Xia Fan in a very apologetic tone, “Please don’t take his words to heart. Alps Mohan’s clan and my clan are old friends across generations. He is always somewhat brusque, but he doesn’t have any ill intent.”

Xia Fan merely curled the corner of his lips slightly when he heard her and said, “Don’t worry, I understand.”

If there was anything unique about the personality of a Speed-type special ability user, it would have to be how calm they all were. Because of the advantage in speed he possessed, Xia Fan did not even see Alps Mohan as a threat. The man lacked the capability to even threaten him.

Since he had not been able to find Traveling Buddha, and was worried about Alps Mohan being unable to take care of Sarah, Xia Fan decided to just follow these warriors from the Sacred Federation for now.

“Stay a good distance from us!”

“Further!”

“Yes, that’s much better. Maintain that distance, and don’t you dare get near Sarah without my word!” Alps Mohan warned him, making a fuss until he made Xia Fan retreat to a distance about a hundred meters away from them.
