Meanwhile, Ban was already enjoying the time of his life while riding atop Tria.
Their speed was so fast that it was like a blur, a speed that was only slightly attainable if one used a unique movement-type Skill. Even his Snake Rush Skill paled in comparison to Tria's speed.
Not to mention her great air maneuverability that allowed her to 'side-step' almost instantly when an 'obstacle' blocked their path.
And to think that she was only a Normal Grade and X-Mortal Rank Beast at the moment.
A racial skill was truly racial skill. Just like how Eva could lift or drag objects a hundred times heavier than her, Tria was also the same, focusing in one aspect depending on her race. For Eva it was strength, for Tria it was her speed and agility.
With the Ant Mask and his other overpowered items on board, Ban was not worried about debris crashing towards him while flying at all. In fact even without it, the humongous head of Tria was still enough to offset all of the incoming debris and only a little amount of air slapped themselves to Ban that it was barely a gentle breeze for him.
He was riding Tria without any bits of discomfort, especially with the set of skills and techniques uploaded to his brain by the System.
Ban smiled contently as he gazed around their surroundings. After five minutes of maximum speed, Ban finally ordered Tria to slow down a little.
He could not see anything but a blur from her previous speed so he ordered her to slow down to observe their surroundings as well as to assess where they currently are using the map.
After a short while, Ban finally pinpointed their location from the map and ordered Tria to turn right. She immediately heeded his order and after a while, they arrived at a place where there was a huge cliff that was over fifty meters in height.
Their target was exactly this cliff not far away from them. Without Tria, reaching her in thirty minutes with his speed was already fast enough, but with Tria, they reached her in less than ten minutes.
Even with him already being at the E-Elite Rank, he could still not beat Tria in terms of speed and agility even with the latter being only at the X-Mortal Rank.
The cliff might seem tall but with the trees around here taller than it was, it could only hide under the shadow of the other trees as they raced to the heavens.
Ban ordered her to go over the peak of the cliff, and from there, he ordered her to slow down even more as Ban used his eyes to observe the cliff, the area below it, as well as the flat area at the top of it.
Ban was currently searching for the Lord Grade Beast that was last seen around here by some Adventurers according to the information given by Mr. Nian.
The target Beast this time was a Lord Grade Beast of F-Apprentice Rank called, Orc Lizard. It was a solitary kind of Beast that lived around here, and according to the information, it was often seen hanging around this cliff, waiting for food to deliver themselves to it.
Ban has already absorbed the knowledge about the Beast so he already knew about its ins and outs. As long as there's no unforeseen event, he was confident of defeating it alone.
The problem that needs to be resolved right now was locating it.
Although the Orc Lizard was often seen around here, those who reported as such only saw it from afar. Even if it was only an F-Apprentice Rank, a Lord Grade Beast was still a Lord Grade Beast in the end. It possesses Skills, no less than 3.
Although Ban could just summon Eva and let her use the Sensor Skill, after seeing her focused expression while cultivation, he decided against that idea immediately. In any case, he could still spot it regardless, as long as it was still here of course.
Tria flew around the cliff steadily and the area around it.
It has already been more than five minutes and they have already circled the perimeter of the cliff two times but still didn't see any sign of the Beast.
If it was seen from below, the 'cliff' really looked like a 'cliff'. However, after circling it two times, Ban discovered that it was actually just a mini mountain, with a flat area on top.
At this moment, Ban's face underneath the Ant Mask was already that of a frown. He was already suspecting that the Beast has already either moved its location or was already hunted by other Adventurers.
"Go upwards, Tria!"
Ban said after they finished another revolution around the small mountain. An idea suddenly struck his mind after thinking about one of the Orc Lizard's habits.
In any case, he already surveyed the foot of the small mountain as well as its cliff-like side but to no avail.
Although he could see some traces here and there, the Beast itself was not present in the area itself.
The only place he was not able to search thoroughly yet was the mountain's flat top.
After hearing his order, Tria immediately tilted her wings upwards as her body slowly rose upwards smoothly, almost like someone was pulling her upwards with a steady pace instead of her flying upwards on her own.
Reaching above the mountain, Tria did not stop and instead soared for over ten meters before she started flying along the flat surface atop the mountain.
Unlike below, the surface atop the mountain was actually full of green trees with the sun directly shining upon them.
The surface area was not that big, Ban could even see the end of it without much difficulty.
Unlike earlier, he ordered Tria to travel even much slower and lower so that he could observe the surface more thoroughly.
And after just a minute, Ban finally saw something that allowed his eyes to lit up in excitement.
"There you are, sneaky Beast!"
The Orc Lizard was now lying with its eyes closed under a thick and green bush above a pile of bones.
Ban and Tria were still far away and were still over ten meters above the surface so the Orc Lizard was still unaware of their existence.
Ban ordered Tria to fly above it and in the instant their position aligned, Ban actually jumped off Tria's back as he pounced towards the Orc Lizard with his hand trembling for a moment as he used his very first offensive Skill.
Fist Penetration!
At this moment, the lizard finally opened its eyes. Seeing the incoming Ban who literally jumped off ten meters above ground to attack it, the Orc Lizard's eyes suddenly glowed with malice as it shrieked towards Ban as if mocking him of his stupidity.
Shriek!
The Ord Lizard stood up from the trophy of bones underneath it, as it entered its battle stance.
At the same time, a cruel smile appeared on the Orc Lizard as it used one of its stashed Skills to Ban whom it was sure could not evade it while in mid-air.
Poison Spit!
