At this moment, Riya didn't know anything about that.

The message that was sent to her mind was limited and Riya was not qualified to know some things before it was time.

It didn't feel comfortable to know that someone was watching them.

But Riya calmed down quickly and focused her attention on the person who came over riding on top of the flying magic beast.

Who could it be aside from Murin.

"He's still more than two kilometers away," Samuel commented as he looked at the distance. With their keen senses, this distance was nothing much and they could still see the other party.

But whether they could attack someone at this distance…

It was another question altogether.

"It seems that he's curious whether I have succeeded or not," Riya said with a faint smile on the corner of her lips. "Just in time. I also want to know whether he will be able to block my attack or not."

After advancing to rank 7, her current state was still very good and Riya didn't think much about it.

Swish!

Riya raised her two hands and runes formed in an instant. The speed was faster than before and the complicated formation was done within two seconds before ice elements formed from the runes and then shoot towards Murin in the distance.

Samuel arched his eyebrows but didn't stop Riya.

Since Murin came here to provoke the other party, then there was no problem even if they were to hit him like this.

Swoosh!

Bang!

"Ahhhh!"

There was scream in the distance and then Riya turned around, ignoring the person who was falling down before he was caught by his second flying magic beasts.

"Did you kill his magic beast?" Samuel asked curiously.

"No, just injuring it," Riya replied.

She didn't want to provoke life and death grudge with Murin from this incident and only gave him a warning.

The attack power of a rank 7 was far higher than that of a rank 6.

At least, for Riya, she just need to expend a bit more mana to use this magic spell.

'With this, it'll be more convenient when dealing with the rank 7 magic beasts.'

She already had enough troubles within the crack when dealing with the magic beasts and having advanced to rank 7, she would be able to deal with them easily later.

Thinking about this, Riya felt a bit interested.

After all, they avoided the relatively stronger rank 7 magic beasts when they explored the crack so that they would not be killed accidentally because they were not strong enough. But after she reached rank 7, they could try to deal with these magic beasts.

Riya glanced at Samuel.

Well, it might be better to wait until Samuel also reached rank 7.

It should only take a few more weeks at most considering that his own progress was by no means slow.

"That's good." Samuel nodded when he heard Riya's answer.

Riya arched her eyebrows. "Do you care for Murin?"

"No, I jut think that it's a bit troublesome to deal with him. Of course, if it's really necessary, I don't mind dealing with him."

If it was not necessary, there was no need to provoke other people without reason. But if the other party came to provoke them, then they just had to respond appropriately.

As for what the other party was thinking, Samuel didn't know.

"He's only here to test and see whether I succeed or not," Riya replied leisurely as they walked down the street heading to City I Base.

After all, the advancement ceremony didn't mean that they would definitely succeed. Though, the chance for these returnees to advance to rank 7 was extremely high because of their past experience.

But what if?

Once they failed in their advancement, they would be in a weak state for a period of time. For someone who was hostile to them, it was definitely the excellent opportunity to get rid of them.

Riya knew this.

Samuel also knew this.

It was also because of this that Riya made a move to warn Murin so that he would not be arrogant and did something he shouldn't.

"Indeed." Samuel nodded. "With you around, it's very reassuring now."

Riya blinked her eyes and looked at Samuel beside her. The two of them were walking side by side and it should have been a normal thing, but why did she feel that what Samuel said was a bit ambiguous just now?

He was only talking about her ability, right?

"Now that I have already advanced to rank 7, there won't be many people who can threaten me and we can also explore those rank 7 magic beasts' lairs," Riya said as she raised her finger. "There are a few places that I want to check in the crack and I have marked them with the teleportation formation."

Speaking about teleportation formation, it seemed that she should also make a few teleportation formation plate…

Ugh wait, she needed the materials for it.

Thinking about the fact that she had used up most of the higher ranked magic beasts' blood in her world, Riya felt that she had become poor again. But without the support of these formations, she wouldn't be able to advance to rank 7.

It could only be said that the cost was proportional.

Samuel still has a few rank 7 magic beasts' corpses, but Riya knew that he kept them for his own advancement ceremony.

She definitely wouldn't take other people's things, so she should go to the crack again in a while to get more magic beasts' blood to make the formation plates she needed.

Of course, there was still some stocks.

She should be able to make a few rank 7 defensive formation plates and magic scrolls for her own use.

"Yes." Samuel still remembered those magic beasts and there was a smile on his face. "Let's go and deal with them soon."

"Why do I feel that you're more excited than me?"
