Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 145 The Azure Crystal Fox Clashes with the Pack of Demon Wolves, and the Fisherman Benefits (9500 words)

[Monster Name]: Azure Crystal Fox

[Combat Power Level]: Level 9 (Elite)

[Racial Rank]: High-level Transcendent

[Monster Attribute]: Rock

[Monster Weakness]: Water

[Racial Skills]: Azure Crystal Armor, Rock Blade, Rock Cannon, Crystal Fang Bite, Claw Slash

[Monster Status]: Injured (victimized by the venomous claws of a demonic wolf), agitated.

Lying behind a large, sloping rock, Chen Fan silently observed the Azure Crystal Fox in the distance, his gaze somewhat grave.

He and Chu Xuan were all under the old ape's "Shadow Curtain".

But even with a monster of this caliber, they didn't dare get too close and could only observe from a distance.

The injured Azure Crystal Fox's translucent, net-like azure crystal shield was shimmering with a faint light.

It lay on a blue stone, looking very weak.

The fire demon stone mine is located behind that fox demon.

The Azure Crystal Fox was actually using the star power from the Fire Demon Stone Mine to heal its injuries!

Chen Fan couldn't help but frown.

High-level extraordinary...

It's quite normal to consider a Level 9 advanced transcendent being as a Level 10 intermediate transcendent being.

In places like Zone D of the Second Secret Realm, what Chen Fan least wanted to encounter were monsters with high racial levels and defensive skills.

A high-level, extraordinary level 9 monster, its power is enough to crush everyone and their beasts present!

Under the control skills of Old Ape and Little Black, as long as the level 9 monsters are not too strong in defense and there are no more than two of them, Chen Fan can basically kill them with lightning speed using the Heaven-Shattering Demon Blade in his hand.

But the Azure Crystal Fox in front of us has powerful Azure Crystal armor.

Moreover, their racial level has reached the high-level transcendent...

It would be too risky for Xiaobai and Gangzi to go up there!

Chu Xuan's true strength was weaker than Xiao Bai and the others, and his armor was not strong enough. If he was not careful, he could be killed by that monster with a single claw!

Ye Hao's armor offered high defense, and his axe was much more powerful than Chu Xuan's sword, but Ye Hao's cultivation level was still only at the fifth level of the first rank.

I'm a little depressed...

According to Xiao Hei and the Desert Wind Eagle's observation, there were two packs of demon wolves less than eighty meters to the left and right.

At least two of the two packs of demon wolves are level 9!

If they can't instantly kill the Azure Crystal Fox, the commotion will attract the demonic wolves from both sides...

That would mean certain death!

"This is a forlorn old wolf..."

Li Fengxing sighed softly and said quietly, "Because it was injured by attacks from other demonic wolves, the little wolf actually abandoned it!"

"Aren't people the same? If they encounter a powerful monster in the wilderness, the old will abandon the young, and the young will abandon the old, let alone any companions... Tell me, what's the difference between people nowadays and dogs?"

"..." Chen Fan and Chu Xuan and the others all silently looked at Li Fengxing.

When Li Fengxing saw everyone looking at him, he immediately sighed again, revealing a constipated expression.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and said, "For beast tamers, the most important thing is to cultivate more and read more books..."

"The more you cultivate, the better you can protect your parents and companions; the more you read, the more knowledge you gain... Take this situation for example, if you read more books, you'll probably realize that this is definitely a fox!"

Li Fengxing's eyes widened: "Impossible! This doesn't resemble that three-tailed fire fox at all!"

"This isn't a Three-Tailed Fire Fox either!" Chen Fan said irritably. "This is a Azure Crystal Fox... Open your pay-to-win eyes and look carefully! This is completely different from the demonic wolves we killed before!"

Li Fengxing scratched his head: "Why do they all look about the same to me?"

Chen Fan: "..."

Talking to this guy can easily damage your liver and lungs.

Seeing Chen Fan's furrowed brows, Chu Xuan asked, "Is it very troublesome?"

Chen Fan lowered his voice and said, "This is a bit tricky... This is probably a level 10 monster."

"What!" Shen Hongxiu and the others were all taken aback.

Chu Xuan's eyes also showed surprise: "Are you sure?"

Chen Fan nodded slightly: "More or less."

In this world, there are some beast-taming skills that can detect the level of other beasts or monsters.

There are also some special techniques that, when combined with the senses of taming beasts, can roughly determine the level of other tamed beasts or monsters.

Therefore, although Chu Xuan and the others were shocked when Chen Fan mentioned the monster's level several times before, they didn't think much of it.

Now, when encountering monsters, Chen Fan is always asked to survey one side before taking action, and then tactics are devised.

But what if the monster in front of us is really level 10...?

That would be a huge problem!

Fang Qingqing was silent for a moment, then said softly, "There are still many mining sites on that map. If we were to mine them all, our beasts might not be able to carry them all... I think we should just give up on this mining site. There's no need to take too much risk."

Shen Hongxiu chimed in, "That's right. Facing monsters of this caliber, neither the few of us nor our beast tamers can offer much help."

"If we really have to fight, I'm afraid we'll have to have Xiao Hei and the old ape team up with Xiao Fan."

"As Xiao Hei just mentioned, there are two packs of demonic wolves, a total of four level 9 wolves, about eighty meters to the left and right..."

"If we can no longer kill them instantly like before, we will inevitably attract both packs of demon wolves."

"We won't have a chance to escape then!"

Bai Rugo, Shen Daodao, and the other two nodded.

Even the impetuous Li Fengxing didn't dare to say much this time.

Chu Xuan nodded slightly: "Give up."

"Although this fox demon is injured, if it truly possesses level 10 power, then the cyan crystal armor it activates must also have extremely strong defensive capabilities."

Li Fengxing said dejectedly, "Why is it that we humans have to cultivate to the third rank before we can use the skill of borrowing and controlling beasts, and cast spells ourselves, while these monsters can use all kinds of spells at levels one and two?"

Ye Hao, annoyed, smacked him on the head: "Is this the time to talk about these things?"

Sudden……

Little Black swooped down from the sky: "The wolf packs on both sides seem to be closing in at the same time. They seem to be planning to attack the Azure Crystal Fox together!"

"Really?" Chen Fan's eyes lit up with delight. "Let's see first. When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured!"

Chu Xuan tightened his grip on his longsword: "The Azure Crystal Fox was probably injured by the demonic wolves... This is demonic wolf territory, and the wolf pack probably won't allow a level 10 monster to linger here for long!"

As they were talking, the Azure Crystal Fox, who was resting on the Azure Stone Mountain, suddenly flashed a fierce light in its eyes, bared its teeth, and let out a threatening roar!

A little while later...

Pairs of eyes, gleaming with green light, appeared in the jungle on both sides!

"Aww!"

The Azure Crystal Fox roared and, without waiting for the two groups of demonic wolves to regroup, pounced on the pack of demonic wolves to Chen Fan and the others' right!

"Woohoo!"

Among the pack of demon wolves, one of them also roared angrily.

More than a dozen level 8 demonic wolves pounced on the Azure Crystal Fox at the same time!

The Azure Crystal Fox remained fearless, gripping the ground with its four paws and suddenly opening its mouth wide...

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!"

Sharp rock blades flew out in a fan shape towards the front!

Blood splattered in the air!

One by one, the demonic wolves were struck by the flying rock blades, howling as they fell to the ground, rolling around in agony!

However, five of the demonic wolves dodged the flying rock blades and quickly rushed to the Azure Crystal Fox!

"Woohoo!"

The two demonic wolves on either side of the Azure Crystal Fox opened their mouths wide and simultaneously bit down on the Azure Crystal Fox's back!

"Click!"

The azure crystal armor on the back of the Azure Crystal Fox began to shimmer with an eerie light.

The two demonic wolves bit down, but not a single crack appeared on the armor!

A sly glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure Crystal Fox, and its two front paws suddenly shimmered with a blue light. Then, its entire body spun around like a whirlwind!

"Claws waving!"

"Hiss!"

The two wolves that were biting its back had their heads severed!

The other three demonic wolves, who were preparing to attack, were immediately terrified and instinctively retreated!

The Azure Crystal Fox darted forward, its two front paws leaving a trail of afterimages as it swiftly swung them through the air...

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Two more wolves were caught and killed!

The level 8 demonic wolf, which is of medium extraordinary quality, is as fragile as a straw in front of this level 9 cyan crystal demonic fox, which is of high extraordinary quality!

Shen Hongxiu and Ye Hao, who were hidden in the shadowy sky in the distance, watched with their eyes twitching!

The last wolf completely lost its will to fight and turned to dart into the bushes.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

One by one, vines wreathed in demonic energy emerged from around the Azure Crystal Fox, slithering around it like snakes and wrapping it up and around again!

"Entangled by Demonic Vines!"

This is an attack launched by four level 9 dire wolves on the left and right sides!

Taking advantage of the battle between the Azure Crystal Fox and its minions, the two packs of demonic wolves seized the opportunity and attacked simultaneously, defeating their enemy in one move!

"brush!"

"brush!"

"brush!"

"brush!"

After trapping the Azure Crystal Fox with one move, four Level 9 Demon Wolves, which were much larger than Level 8 Demon Wolves, rushed out at the same time and surrounded the Azure Crystal Fox!

"Aww!"

The Azure Crystal Fox's body shuddered violently, and with a few loud bangs, it snapped several of the demonic vines!

"brush!"

A level 9 demonic wolf, riding on the body of the Azure Crystal Fox which was entangled by demonic vines, soared into the air and swiped at the Azure Crystal Fox with its right paw!

"Demon Wolf Poison Claw!"

The Azure Crystal Fox was previously injured by this poisonous claw, which is why it became extremely weak!

At the critical moment...

The Azure Crystal Fox sneered, its mouth suddenly opening wide!

"Rock Cannon!"

Rocks formed from the condensed star power of the Rock type were fired from its mouth like cannonballs, hitting the level 9 demonic wolf that pounced on it!

"boom!"

The level 9 demon wolf's claws were less than half a foot away from the Azure Crystal Demon Fox when they were blasted away by the rock cannonball!

The level 9 demon wolf rolled to the ground with a large hole about a foot long in its belly. After struggling for a moment, it collapsed and was on the verge of death!

"Damn, that's brutal..."

Ye Hao's eyes twitched: "Even though it was already so weak, the level 9 demonic wolf still couldn't withstand a single attack!"

Fang Qingqing was also astonished: "This fox demon is too cunning. It probably deliberately exposed an opening, intentionally letting the demonic vines entangle it... This move is so powerful, it couldn't be an instantaneous skill; it must have been preparing it for a long time!"

As they spoke, the other three level 9 demonic wolves retreated five meters and opened their mouths at the same time towards the Azure Crystal Demon Fox!

"Mad Demon Blade!"

Three demonic blades wreathed in black energy flew out from the mouths of the three level 9 demonic wolves, stabbing towards the abdomen and back of the Azure Crystal Fox with incredible speed!

Anger flashed in the eyes of the Azure Crystal Fox, and its body trembled violently!

"boom!"

Just as the demonic vines on the Azure Crystal Fox were shattered, three demonic blades slammed into it!

A violent surge of energy, centered on the Azure Crystal Fox's body, swept outwards in all directions.

Debris exploded, trees collapsed, and dust billowed into the sky!

Upon closer inspection, Chen Fan and the others saw that the azure crystal armor on the azure crystal fox's body had shattered, and shocking cracks had appeared all over its body!

The already weak Azure Crystal Fox, after enduring the full force of the three level 9 demonic wolves, became covered in wounds, and its howls were both mournful and furious!

"call!"

The mouths of the three demon wolves opened again!

The Azure Crystal Fox's Azure Crystal Armor was shattered. Before it could regenerate new armor, another attack would be enough to kill or cripple it!

"Aww!"

The Azure Crystal Fox knew it was in danger, so it darted out like a ghost and slapped a level 9 demonic wolf on the head with its claw!

The wolf had barely opened its mouth, and only a small section of the demonic blade was visible, when it was swatted away and crashed into a large tree, knocking it down!

next moment……

"call!"

The Azure Crystal Fox darted to the right in a flash, dodging the magic blades thrown by the other two demonic wolves!

Seeing that things were not going well, the two demonic wolves turned and fled!

The remaining level 8 dire wolves, in a flash, followed the two dire wolves and ran away completely!

"Bang bang bang!"

The Azure Crystal Fox charged forward a few steps and rushed to the demonic wolf that it had previously swatted away.

The level 9 dire wolf wasn't quite dead yet; it could still manage to lift its head with difficulty.

But just as it raised its head, the Azure Crystal Fox's huge mouth snapped down in one bite!

"Crystal teeth tearing!"

The bite, delivered by the skill, instantly severed the neck of the level 9 demonic wolf!

After killing the level 9 demonic wolf, the Azure Crystal Fox spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back to the blue stone.

Behind the large blue stone is a fire demon stone.

The star power on the Fire Demon Stone can help heal its injuries.

But this time, the damage was much more severe than before.

The Azure Crystal Fox cautiously surveyed its surroundings.

If those dire wolves come to attack again...

The Azure Crystal Fox activated its star power, attempting to condense its Azure Crystal Armor once more.

But after the Azure Crystal Armor flickered on its body a few times, it shattered into nothingness as if it had run out of power!

Healing requires a large amount of star power.

The remaining star power seems insufficient to support this armor!

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure Crystal Fox. It got up, grabbed the fire demon stone that was more than a meter tall behind it with its two claws, and pulled hard!

"Boom!"

Large chunks of rock fell from the mountainside.

The Azure Crystal Fox dragged the Fire Demon Stone and darted away.

"It wants to take the Fire Demon Stone with it?"

Chen Fan and his companions, who were hiding in the distance, were startled.

Just then, green eyes popped out from the bushes in the distance!

Those demon wolves are back!

As expected of the ferocious and ruthless demon wolf, even after losing two level 9 wolves and a large number of level 8 wolves, it still didn't give up and charged back!

However, this time the wolf pack did not launch an attack.

They were just a long distance apart, following behind that Azure Crystal Fox!

The Azure Crystal Fox knew what these demonic wolves were up to, but it was too badly injured to do anything about it.

And so, the Azure Crystal Fox walked in front, followed by two level 9 demonic wolves and a large pack of demonic wolves.

Further away, the old ape unfurled a dark canopy, enveloping Chen Fan and Chu Xuan's group, and silently followed.

After walking more than 500 meters into the forest...

The Azure Crystal Fox's speed is getting slower and slower.

Behind it, blood flowed everywhere, forming a long path.

Both groups of monsters were exceptionally ferocious...

Even though the Azure Crystal Fox was severely injured, it still refused to give up the Fire Demon Stone.

The pack of demonic wolves seemed determined to kill the Azure Crystal Fox!

Suddenly, Chen Fan, hidden in the shadows behind them, whispered, "That Azure Crystal Fox is bluffing..."

"Its injuries weren't that serious."

"But whether we can fool the demon wolf is another matter."

"..." Shen Hongxiu and the others were a little embarrassed.

Whether the Azure Crystal Fox could deceive the Demon Wolf, they didn't know.

But the Azure Crystal Fox had already fooled them.

They all thought that the Azure Crystal Fox was seriously injured and wouldn't last much longer.

Bai Rugo even said something that showed sympathy for the Azure Crystal Fox!

Alas, this jungle of survival of the fittest, full of deceit and treachery, a life-or-death struggle...

Just as everyone was having different thoughts, the Azure Crystal Fox coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood!

"brush!"

Almost at the very moment it spat out blood, four demonic vines flew over from behind!

The pack of demonic wolves that had been tracking them finally couldn't resist attacking again!

"Aww!"

The Azure Crystal Fox was terrified and quickly grabbed the four demonic vines that were wrapping around it with its claws!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Its strength seemed to have diminished considerably, and it was pulled to the ground by the four demonic vines and dragged back in the direction it had come from!

At the same time, the two level 9 demonic wolves had already opened their mouths and were activating the skill "Mad Demon Blade"!

Weakened and without its Azure Crystal Armor, the Azure Crystal Fox was absolutely unable to withstand this attack!

In a critical moment...

The Azure Crystal Fox suddenly stood upright, its two hind legs digging deep into the ground. Then, it grabbed the demonic vine with its claws and swung it violently!

"Whoosh!"

Four magical vines precisely wrapped around the necks of the two level 9 magical wolves!

"..."

The two level 9 demonic wolves never expected that they would be entangled by the demonic vines they themselves had cast, and the demonic blades that had just formed in their mouths shattered instantly!

The Azure Crystal Fox sneered and grabbed the demonic vine, pulling it hard!

The two level 9 dire wolves lost control of their bodies and were immediately pulled over!

"Rock Blade!"

The Azure Crystal Fox opened its huge mouth, and countless rock blades flew out, splattering blood everywhere as it struck the two demonic wolves in the air!

Seeing their leader in trouble, the pack of level 8 demonic wolves all rushed over and pounced on the Azure Crystal Fox!

But then, a flash of light appeared on the Azure Crystal Fox, and its Azure Crystal Armor had already taken shape!

This fox spirit was indeed bluffing!

As soon as the Azure Crystal Fox activated its Azure Crystal Armor, it completely ignored the pack of level 8 demonic wolves that were rushing towards it, and leaped forward, killing a level 9 demonic wolf that had just landed with a single claw!

The remaining level 9 demon wolf looked terrified, struggled to its feet, and tried to run away!

But how could it possibly outrun the Azure Crystal Fox?

The Azure Crystal Fox quickly caught up and with another swipe of its claw, slammed the head of the level 9 demon wolf into the ground!

Before the pack of level 8 demonic wolves could catch up, the Azure Crystal Demon Fox let out a wild howl, turned around and charged into the wolf pack as if it were empty. In just a few moves, it killed every last one of the level 8 demonic wolves!

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"How brutal!"

Ye Hao and Shen Hongxiu, who were behind them, couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their eyes.

As expected of a level 10 monster...

If a level 9 dire wolf doesn't use trickery, it won't be able to withstand even one of its attacks!

"That's about it..."

Chen Fan suddenly gripped the hilt of the knife.

Chu Xuan was taken aback: "You're planning to make your move now?"

Chen Fan nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "The Azure Crystal Fox was indeed bluffing. It wasn't so badly injured that it couldn't even activate its armor, but the amount of blood it lost wasn't just chicken blood."

He had barely said that...

Then the Azure Crystal Fox spat out another mouthful of blood, and its entire body collapsed to the ground with a thud!

Chu Xuan said in a deep voice, "How?"

Chen Fan was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go alone. You all stay here."

"No!" Shen Hongxiu grabbed Chen Fan's hand. "It's too risky! We have to go together!"

Chu Xuan said, "Although I'm a little unwilling, he's right... If we go up, our attacks will hardly hurt the monster, but the monster could kill us with a single claw strike."

"Among our group, I estimate that only Chen Fan and Ye Hao's armor can withstand its attack."

Ye Hao said coldly, "I'll go with Brother Fan."

Chu Xuan: "Your strength is too weak."

Ye Hao roared in fury: "While my strength may not match yours, the Storm Battle Axe in my hand is a low-grade Xuan weapon!"

"Even if the power of a first-grade fifth-level cultivator is only equivalent to that of an ordinary mid-level extraordinary fifth-level beast tamer, it can still unleash most of the power of this Storm Battle Axe, causing fatal damage!"

Chu Xuan silently watched Ye Hao.

Ye Hao was even angrier: "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"

Chu Xuan nodded and said, "Take off your armor and put it on me."

"Give me the axe too."

"I'll go with Chen Fan."

Ye Hao: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Ye Hao said speechlessly, "How could you even think of such a thing... You wouldn't spend more money back then, but now you want to wear my armor and wield my axe? Are you out of your mind?"

"Stop arguing," Chen Fan said. "This fox is very cunning, and its strength and defense are frighteningly strong. If you go with me, I might have to divide my attention to protect you..."

"I can go by myself."

"It was covered in wounds, poisoned by venomous claws, and had lost so much blood along the way. Its true strength is less than half of its peak."

"With Blackie, Emerald, and me working together, killing it won't be too difficult."

"Gangzi, Dragon Turtle, put my armor back on."

Gangzi tugged at Chen Fan's trouser leg.

"obedient!"

Chen Fan continued to stare at the Azure Crystal Fox in front of him.

Gangzi obediently joined forces with the Black Iron Dragon Turtle to cast two shields on Chen Fan.

Xiao Bai jumped down from Chen Fan's arms and gently patted Gangzi's head with its little paws, telling Gangzi not to be careful.

Chen Fan, gripping his long sword, swaggered out of the Shadow Sky Curtain.

"Aww!"

As soon as he stepped out of the Shadow Sky, the Azure Crystal Fox immediately sensed his presence and let out a strange cry!

Chen Fan gripped the scabbard tightly with his left hand and the hilt of the sword with his right, approaching the Azure Crystal Fox step by step.

A cruel glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure Crystal Fox, and it opened its mouth, sending a barrage of flying rock blades hurtling towards Chen Fan!

Chen Fan stepped forward with his right foot, quickly crossed his hands, and opened the two shields on his wrist guards.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

A barrage of rock blades struck the shield, exploding like fireworks.

Li Fengxing, standing in the shadowy sky behind, immediately exclaimed, "Holy crap, this shield is incredibly strong! I'm going to buy two sets when we get back!"

Without turning his head, Ye Hao said, "It will cost fifty to sixty million Alliance Coins."

"..." Li Fengxing: "Never mind what I said."

After Chen Fan retracted his shield, he slammed his right foot into the ground and charged towards the Azure Crystal Fox like a cannonball!

Seeing that the flying rock blades could not break through Chen Fan's defense, the Azure Crystal Fox immediately took a deep breath and began to activate the skill "Rock Cannon"!

A rock was rapidly forming in its mouth...

The little black creature swooped down from the air, activating its "Mental Spikes"!

"Woohoo!"

The Azure Crystal Fox's spellcasting was interrupted, and it covered its head with its paws and lay on the ground!

Jadeite was blown out by a storm...

"Storm - Wind Blade!"

The Azure Crystal Fox's body was swept directly into the sky!

A series of wind blades rapidly sliced ​​towards his body!

However, the wind blades in the Emerald Storm were still a bit lacking in attack power. They landed on the Azure Crystal Fox's Azure Crystal Armor and exploded one after another, but they couldn't break through its defense at all!

The Azure Crystal Fox howled and roared, its body flying up and down in the air.

Although the jade's wind blades could not break through its defenses, it could not fly and could not gain leverage in the air, just like a kite whose string had been broken in a storm!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Fan increased his speed and quickly closed in!

"call!"

Just as Chen Fan approached the Azure Crystal Fox, Emerald withdrew its storm.

The enormous body of the Azure Crystal Fox fell straight down!

Chen Fan's figure suddenly blurred for a moment, and he took several small, quick steps on the field.

The long sword in his hand also created a series of afterimages, like a fan of blades!

"That same stab again!"

Ye Hao exclaimed in surprise!

Back in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Chen Fan used this very strike to kill a fifth-grade expert!

Bai Rugo's eyes widened, unblinking: "The Nine Blades of Heaven's Severing..."

An incomparably domineering blade light erupted from the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade.

The blade's flash stretched over seven meters!

In mid-air, Xiao Hei unleashed "Mental Spikes" once again!

At this moment, Chen Fan, who was about to bring down his long sword, met the gaze of the Azure Crystal Fox and saw a trace of despair and sorrow in the fox's eyes.

The status of the Azure Crystal Fox's attribute panel also changed...

[Monster Status]: Sorrow, despair, longing, reluctance...

"brush!"

Chen Fan swiftly turned, slashing his longsword to the side.

The blinding blade light cleaved a large tree in two at an angle!

Li Fengxing's eyes widened: "Oh no, Brother Fan's strike was way off target..."

Chu Xuan gripped his longsword tightly.

The others also tensed up!

Nobody expected this to happen!

What exactly happened...?

Even stranger things happened. The Azure Crystal Fox saw Chen Fan's longsword change direction, but it didn't take the opportunity to attack!

The Azure Crystal Fox, now on the ground, stared intently at Chen Fan with its eyes gleaming with an eerie light.

It knew perfectly well that it had just been hit by a mental attack and had no chance of dodging the blow.

That one strike could definitely cleave it in two!

Why...

Chen Fan silently observed the Azure Crystal Fox for a while before saying, "Shall we chat for a bit?"

He wasn't sure if the monsters in the secret realm could understand him.

But his current posture is not an aggressive one; it's more like he's showing sincerity.

Then, the light on the Azure Crystal Fox's body flickered twice, and it actually removed its Azure Crystal Armor!

It's also showing its sincerity!

The group of people in the shadowy sky behind them stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with disbelief!

Chen Fan took two steps forward and activated the summoning array in the Beast Taming Space.

The summoning circle enveloped both him and the Azure Crystal Fox.

A system notification appeared...

Contract drafted quickly!

In this situation, the mental spaces of the two parties are connected, allowing for brief communication!

"I came here specifically for this Fire Demon Stone."

Chen Fan transmitted his thoughts: "Then I saw you fighting with the pack of demon wolves."

"The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, there's nothing more to say."

"Similarly, if I seize the opportunity, I can kill you with a single strike."

At that moment, a woman's voice rang in Chen Fan's mind: "Then...why...didn't you kill me?"

"I don't know," Chen Fan said. "We humans believe in fate in everything. Fate is destiny, both heaven's will and destiny."

"We and you are not necessarily enemies, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a fight to the death..."

"Humans can awaken their Beast Taming Space and then sign a contract with their beast tamers."

"We can definitely become partners, help each other, and grow together."

The Azure Crystal Fox remained silent.

Chen Fan continued, "As I just said, I originally came here for this Fire Demon Stone... but I don't need it at all."

As he spoke, he unfolded the map that Shen Daodao had brought him.

"This map shows the mining sites for many Fire Demon Stones in this secret realm."

Chen Fan said, "I've already collected ten of those huge fire demon stones you took away before."

Azure Crystal Fox: "..."

The Fire Demon Stone that I fought so hard against the Demon Wolf for, the Fire Demon Stone that I desperately wanted to protect, is it really this cheap?

Has this human already collected ten pieces?

Chen Fan said, "The Fire Demon Stone is just my purpose this time."

"But my abilities are not limited to this."

"I possess vast resources, and I can help you improve and break through..."

The Azure Crystal Fox looked puzzled: "What makes you so confident in saying that?"

Chen Fan pointed to the jade on his head: "Jade is a slime. Slimes are everywhere, and there are many in this second secret realm... When Jade signed a contract with me last month, it was only level 2, and its race level was only low-level transcendent."

"But I spent a month helping it break through to level 6 in combat power and raise its race level to low-level lord."

"Impossible!" the Azure Crystal Fox exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Fan smiled proudly and said, "Nothing is impossible for me."

"Everything I just said can be written into the contract."

"If I am lying, I will suffer the backlash from the power of the contract."

"If I am lying, and you find out later and want to back out, you can terminate the contract without compensation."

The Azure Crystal Fox narrowed its eyes: "You... really want to sign a contract with me?"

"Yes!" Chen Fan nodded slightly.

The Azure Crystal Fox glanced at the contract twice, then silently looked at Chen Fan.

A little while later...

It lifted its paw with some effort and gently touched the contract.

"call!"

Contract successfully signed!

"..."

The people in the shadowy sky behind were dumbfounded!

What's going on...?

Chen Fan went straight up to this high-level, terrifying monster and demanded to sign a contract.

Then, did that Azure Crystal Fox really agree to sign the contract?

He muttered a few words to himself and then picked up a level 10 beast?

Why can't I have such good things happen to me?!

In the shadowy sky, Ye Hao turned to Chu Xuan and said, "Next time I encounter a level 10 monster, can I approach it like this and ask it to sign a contract?"

Li Fengxing interjected, "Fortune favors the bold!"

"Sure," Chu Xuan nodded, "but you could easily get killed with a single swipe of its claw."

Ye Hao: "..."

Li Fengxing asked, "Why was Brother Fan able to do that? Why wasn't he killed by the Azure Crystal Fox?"

Shen Hongxiu slapped him across the face: "If you dare curse him again, I'll beat you to death!"

A group of people emerged from the shadowy sky.

As soon as they came out, the Azure Crystal Fox was startled!

Such a short distance, yet so many people and beasts are hidden there!

And it didn't even notice!

Let me introduce myself...

Chen Fan smiled and pointed towards Ye Hao and the others.

Ye Hao immediately ran over with a grin.

Chen Fan pushed Ye Hao's head away, then pointed at Xiao Bai and said, "This is my Xiao Bai, this is Old Ape, and the one with the crew cut and silver hair is Gangzi."

"The jade on my head is emerald."

"They are all my tamed beasts, and also your companions."

In mid-air, Little Black swooped down and landed on Chen Fan's shoulder: "Master, you forgot to introduce me!"

"Oh, and Xiao Hei too." Chen Fan patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder.

Ye Hao straightened his chest and raised his head, saying, "My name is Ye Hao. Nice to meet you!"

Azure Crystal Fox: "..."

Is this Ye Hao also Chen Fan's tamed beast?

Can a human become a beast tamed by another human?

I've never heard of that...

Why does he have so many tamed beasts?

The second secret realm has existed for many years, with humans coming and going, so much information about humans has been spread among the monsters.

The Azure Crystal Fox knew that although humans could sign contracts with beast tamers, it was very difficult for humans with low cultivation levels to sign contracts with multiple beast tamers!

Who would have thought Chen Fan had so many tamed beasts?!

Although he is strong, he is clearly not that powerful!

At this moment, Xiaobai and Gangzi were cautiously circling around the Azure Crystal Fox.

Chen Fan waved to the Holy Moon Morning Glory.

The Holy Moon Morning Glory immediately came over and began to cast a healing spell.

Healing halos descended upon the Azure Crystal Fox.

The Azure Crystal Fox's injuries began to heal rapidly, and it felt much more comfortable.

"Making a contract with humans doesn't seem so bad..."

Watching the Holy Moon Morning Glory continuously cast healing spells on her, and seeing Xiaobai and Gangzi's wide, curious eyes, the Azure Crystal Fox suddenly felt an indescribable sense of warmth.

Before this, it had been walking alone in this perilous jungle.

It relentlessly battles and fights to the death against all sorts of monsters...

There were no companions.

If you get hurt, find a secluded place and lick your wounds alone.

Now, having met this human boy, it seems like a new chapter in my life has begun...

"From now on, you'll be called Xiaoqing."

Chen Fan said, "Let Hua Hua continue to heal your wounds. I'll go over there and dig out the crystal cores of those demon wolves."

"Xiao Fan, I'll go with you!" Shen Hongxiu quickly followed.

Bai Rugo's eyes twitched: "I'm going too!"

Ye Hao, Chu Xuan, and Fang Qingqing all followed.

Although Xiaoqing has signed a contract with Chen Fan, she is still a "level 10" monster.

Moreover, they had all witnessed his previous cunning and cruelty.

Letting them stay with Xiaoqing...it's kind of scary.

Only Shen Daodao and Li Fengxing remained where they were, looking at Xiaoqing with expressions of curiosity.

Li Fengxing stroked his chin and said, "I suddenly realized that Brother Fan already has six tamed beasts? How did he do that?"

"Could he have been possessed by some ancient monster?"

"Otherwise, how could the Beast Taming Space possibly withstand it!"
