Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 149 A Shocking Secret: Can Star Warriors of the Nightmare Court Make a Contract with Demons? (9452 words)

The two people, bound by chains, had severed arms and legs, and their condition was horribly gruesome.

The man with the triangular eyes fared slightly better, except that the tendons in both legs had been severed by the old ape;

The man with the hooked nose was in a terrible state; one of his legs was bitten off by Xiao Qing, and another arm was severed by Chen Fan. He lay on the ground howling in agony.

Chen Fan stepped forward and kicked the man with the triangular eyes in the chest.

"Will you tell or not?"

"Will you tell me or not!"

"Will you tell me or not!"

Chen Fan said one sentence and kicked him, kicking the man with the triangular eyes until he coughed up blood.

The man with the triangular eyes was completely stunned by the kick: "Why the hell aren't you asking? You're expecting me to tell you everything without even asking anything?!"

"Hmm? I think I forgot to ask..." Chen Fan stroked his chin. "But, I don't think I have anything to ask?"

Chen Fan turned to Chu Xuan and said, "There's no point in keeping someone like this who can't even withstand one of my attacks. Let's just kill him."

The two people on the ground, chained together, were filled with dread.

Who the hell is this person? Why aren't they playing by the rules?

"Wait, don't kill us! We still have value!"

The hook-nosed man shouted, "We are from the Nightmare Court!"

Seeing this, the man with the triangular eyes immediately roared, "Fool! Do you know the consequences of betraying the Nightmare Court?!"

The man with the hooked nose shuddered, fear creeping into his eyes.

"Chen Fan-jun..." Chiyoko walked over.

Chen Fan raised his hand, the tip of the Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade pointing at Chiyoko: "Step back a bit. I'll settle your score with you later!"

Chiyoko bowed slightly and led the other two away to a considerable distance.

Chen Fan glanced coldly at Chiyoko and the other two, then looked away and winked at Chu Xuan: "Take this hook-nosed one to the other side for questioning. I'll chat with the triangular-eyed one here."

"Xiao Qing, you go with Chu Xuan."

Chu Xuan nodded, picked up Hook Nose, and led Xiao Qing to an open space on the other side.

Xiao Bai, the old ape, and Gangzi surrounded the man with the triangular eyes, their gazes unfriendly.

Chen Fan smiled slightly at the man with the triangular eyes: "You have a lot of backbone."

The man with the triangular eyes blinked but didn't say anything.

Chen Fan took out a box containing the Itchy Fruit powder from his pocket, and then, in front of the triangular-eyed man, poured a little into a plastic bottle.

"Poisoning?"

The man with the triangular eyes watched this scene and sneered, "What kind of poison haven't the people of the Nightmare Court seen?"

Chen Fan didn't say anything, but reached out and grabbed the triangular-eyed man's chin, pouring half a bottle of water directly into his mouth.

After he finished pouring, he walked to a rock on the side and sat down, silently looking at the triangular-eyed man.

A few seconds later...

The man with triangular eyes felt as if tens of thousands of steel ants had burrowed into his internal organs, bones, and meridians, causing him to experience unbearable itching all over his body!

He even felt that many ants had already gnawed through his lungs and bones and were crawling out of his body!

"what!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the darkness.

Hearing that voice, not only the person Chu Xuan took away, but also Chiyoko and the other two felt a chill run down their spines!

Chen Fan stared blankly at the triangular-eyed man bound by chains, screaming and rolling wildly on the ground.

Cruelty can be cruel depending on who it is directed at.

Although he didn't know much about the Nightmare Court, these people were ruthless in achieving their goals, daring to incite swarms of ants and bees in an attempt to sweep through Eastsea City...

If they had succeeded back then, how many people in such a large city as Donghai would have survived?

What would Donghai City look like once the ant swarm and bee swarm overwhelm it?

After the man with the triangular eyes screamed until his voice became hoarse, Chen Fan gave him a vial of antidote.

The man with triangular eyes lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Chen Fan said indifferently, "Let's rest for a while, and then we'll continue."

Triangular eyes: "..."

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "You seem quite principled, unwilling to betray the Nightmare Court, but after being captured, you didn't commit suicide, did you?"

"You were itching unbearably, itching like you were dying, but I didn't see you commit suicide."

"Therefore, if you can live, very few people would choose to die."

The man with the triangular eyes twitched as he said, "You wouldn't understand. Betraying the Nightmare Court... makes death almost impossible!"

"Is that so?" Chen Fan stood up, raised his knife, and chopped down a large tree next to him.

Then, he slashed repeatedly with his long knife, cutting off the branches and leaves of the tree, and then cut off a three-meter-long trunk and dragged it over.

The man with the triangular eyes asked, bewildered, "What are you doing?"

Chen Fan sharpened a branch about ten centimeters in diameter before saying, "Have you ever heard of an ancient hidden weapon called 'Wooden Dog'?"

Hey!

The man with the triangular eyes was startled.

Is it a hidden weapon or a mechanism?

Chen Fan held up the sharp piece of wood in his hand to the triangular-eyed man, then dug a hole in the felled tree and nested the sharp piece of wood inside.

"It's a bit rough, please bear with me."

Chen Fan pointed to the "T"-shaped tree trunk on the ground and said, "I've never seen this thing before either; it was created entirely from my imagination."

"Daisies go up, sunflowers go down."

"But you don't need to rush..."

Who the hell is in a hurry!

The lips of the man with the triangular eyes trembled.

Chen Fan then picked up the remaining half-bottle of water mixed with itchy fruit powder and said, "I still have two boxes of the powder that made you feel so itchy."

"Wait until you finish those two boxes before you try this wood."

A flicker of fear crossed his triangular eyes as he asked, "What...what do you want to know?"

Chen Fan tilted his head slightly and said, "I want to know everything you know about the Nightmare Court."

The man with the triangular eyes narrowed his eyes: "I'm just a nobody, how could I possibly know anything about the Nightmare Court..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xuan returned carrying the hooked-nosed man.

Chu Xuan threw the hook-nosed man to the ground with a thud and said, "He has confessed everything."

"I also recorded a video."

Triangular eyes: "..."

Chen Fan frowned and glanced at the triangular-eyed man: "Then this thing is useless... but it would be a waste not to use the mechanisms and hidden weapons I painstakingly created."

"Come on, try it for free! Remember to leave a five-star review!"

"I'll record a video for you too."

As he spoke, he grabbed the chains on the man with the triangular eyes and lifted him up.

"I'll say it!"

The man with the triangular eyes shouted, "I'll tell you everything!"

"It's no use telling me everything!" Chen Fan frowned and said, "Your accomplice has already confessed, what's the point of you repeating it again?"

"No, no, no!" the triangular-eyed man cried out in panic, "I know more than him! I even know about the 'Five-Colored Divine Stone'!"

The hook-nosed man on the other side was taken aback: "What is that? Why don't I know about it? Damn, you're just making it up to save your life, aren't you?"

Chen Fan waved at Chu Xuan: "Take that guy aside, don't interfere with my filming."

Chu Xuan then walked away, still holding his hooked nose.

"Let's begin."

Chen Fan turned on his camera: "Answer a few questions first."

"First question, what exactly is the Nightmare Garden?"

The man with the triangular eyes narrowed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "We... uh, the Nightmare Court, that's a place where demons gather."

"It is the darkest and most terrifying force in the world!"

"For thousands of years, the nations of Earth have joined forces, but they have not been able to truly suppress it."

"Two thousand years ago, the Nightmare Court almost took control of the entire Earth!"

"Wait a minute!" Chen Fan frowned and interrupted the man with the triangular eyes: "You're saying that two thousand years ago, the Nightmare Court almost took control of the entire Blue Star?"

"This strange event on Earth, with cracks appearing in the sky and the emergence of Beast Tamers, happened more than two thousand years ago, right?"

"That's right!" the triangular-eyed man said. "Actually, the major figures of the Nightmare Court all come from another world."

"They all come from... the Celestial Realm!"

The word "immortal realm" again...

Chen Fan said indifferently, "The Heavenly Feather Realm?"

"What? You... how did you know!" The man with the triangular eyes exclaimed in surprise.

Regardless of the fact that this young man in front of me looks to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, how could he possibly know about the Heavenly Feather Realm?

Chen Fan smiled slightly and said, "I know much more than you think."

Actually, I don't know anything. I just heard Chiyoko say a few words.

The man with the triangular eyes glanced at Chen Fan and said, "In short, the power and terror of the Nightmare Court are beyond your imagination."

"They worship a demon god, and can use the demon god's power to control demons!"

"No matter how powerful the strong on this planet are, can they contend with the power of a god?"

"Impossible!"

"The God of Demons..." Chen Fan recalled the demon heads on the Nightmare Court powerhouses he had seen before.

Whether it's the queen ant of the ant swarm, the wind wolf king of the Wind Riding Canyon, or the blood petal flower king of the first secret realm, the Ring Mountain, they are all controlled by the power of demons.

This dark force deals with real demons...

Chen Fan smiled like the Mona Lisa and asked, "My second question is, where is the headquarters of the Nightmare Court?"

"What a stupid question..." The man with the triangular eyes scoffed.

Chen Fan laughed too: "I don't know if it's stupid or not, but I know that removing this thing from your feet will definitely turn you into a sunflower."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed at the triangular-eyed man on the ground.

The man with the triangular eyes was horrified: "I don't know! I really don't know!"

"I'm just a second-grade, third-level Star Warrior, and I've only been in the Nightmare Court for less than two years!"

"Don't tell me I don't know; even a commander-level figure might not know!"

"Commander?" Chen Fan's expression shifted slightly as he asked, "What kind of position is Commander in the Nightmare Court?"

The man with the triangular eyes said, "The leaders of the Nightmare Court are all at least Grandmasters of the seventh rank!"

"A seventh-grade Grandmaster..." Chen Fan said, "Was the one who instigated the ant swarm and bee swarm earlier the commander?"

"Yes." The man with the triangular eyes nodded. "But the commanders miscalculated. They underestimated the strength of Donghai City and were tricked by them."

"They originally intended to use the ant swarm and bee swarm to lure out the three seventh-rank Grandmasters guarding Donghai City, and then kill them all in one fell swoop."

"As it turned out, City Lord Bai Tianyu was prepared and launched a sneak attack, killing the two commanders instead."

"After that, another plan of the Nightmare Court was sabotaged, and the commander in charge of the plan was directly captured by Yun Canghai..."

Chen Fan: "Why did the Nightmare Court target East Sea City? What was their motive?"

The man with the triangular eyes said with a mournful face, "We're just lowly thugs, how would we know such secrets... We were just following orders."

"But we do know a little bit about another plan, the secret realm plan..."

"After our people enter the secret realm, they will set up a towering array within it, using the crystal cores of the monsters within to enhance the array's power, thereby impacting the entire secret realm and searching for a passage between the secret realm and another world."

"Looking for a passage back to the Heavenly Feather Realm?" Chen Fan's lips curled slightly.

Chiyoko had already told him about this before.

"..."

The man with the triangular eyes stared blankly for a moment.

This young man in front of me is quite young, so why does he know so much?

Chen Fan then asked, "All of you commanders have been killed in Donghai City, what are you still doing here?"

The man with the triangular eyes shook his head and said, "We received orders to remain inactive."

"However, a few days ago, we received a message asking us to come to this second secret realm to kill a level 12 Ghost Face Giant Lizard and retrieve its crystal core."

"Take the crystal core from this giant lizard with the ghost face..."

Chen Fan replied, "To break that ancient formation?"

"..." The man with the triangular eyes widened his eyes: "You...who exactly are you, and why do you know so much?"

Chen Fan smiled slightly: "I know far more than you can imagine."

That's all I know.

If you keep talking, I won't know anything anymore.

Chen Fan looked at the triangular-eyed man with a half-smile.

Looking at Chen Fan with triangular eyes, one could only sense that this guy was shrouded in a mysterious mist that was hard to describe.

He took a deep breath before saying, "Someone of my level shouldn't have known about that ancient formation."

"However, some time ago, when several officials were preparing to infiltrate Donghai City to capture Fan Ling, I overheard them..."

"I heard that the ancient formation is located in a forbidden area outside Shanghai."

"Both the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Nightmare Court have their eyes on that forbidden zone."

"It is said that within the ancient formation of that forbidden zone lies the 'Five-Colored Divine Stone,' powerful enough to alter the very forces of heaven and earth..."

"Once we get our hands on that five-colored divine stone, controlling this blue planet will be a piece of cake!"

"But I have no idea what those five-colored divine stones are."

"Five-Colored Divine Stone, Forbidden Zone..." Chen Fan stroked his chin.

Chiyoko hadn't mentioned the Five-Colored Divine Stone before, and it's unclear whether she was deliberately hiding it or genuinely didn't know.

Moreover, Chiyoko previously mentioned that the great formation was located in a secret realm.

There is a significant difference between secret realms and forbidden zones.

If the people of Tang Kingdom searched every secret realm in the Demon City, turning each one upside down, they still wouldn't find it at all.

Chiyoko, that woman...

Chen Fan nodded slightly and said, "Every secret realm in Donghai City is guarded by an army, including powerful Black Armor Army warriors."

"But you come and go as you please, like it's your own house..."

"Who is helping you inside Donghai City?"

"I don't know." The man with the triangular eyes shook his head.

Chen Fan frowned, pinched the triangular-eyed man's chin, and prepared to force-feed him the half-bottle of water.

“Wuwu!”

The man with the triangular eyes looked terrified and struggled to say, "I really don't know!"

Chen Fan released his grip and said quietly, "You've been talking for so long, but all you've said is what I already know... I don't know anything about the Five-Colored Divine Stone, but you haven't said a single thing about it either?"

The man with the triangular eyes looked like he was about to cry: "What I just said is already classified!"

Chen Fan said thoughtfully, "I've encountered people from your Nightmare Court several times before. It's a bit strange; why are all the Nightmare Court people I've met Star Warriors?"

"Don't you have any beast tamers in your Nightmare Court?"

"Yes!" the triangular-eyed man, eager for credit, immediately replied, "Of course there are Beastmasters in the Nightmare Court, and many of them, but there are even more Star Warriors!"

"The reason is simple..."

"Because the Nightmare Court has a way to help Star Warriors and Demon-type Beast Tamers sign contracts!"

"What!" Chen Fan was taken aback.

The difference between a Beast Tamer and a Star Warrior is that a Star Warrior can only cultivate on their own and cannot sign a contract with a Beast Tamer!

Star Warriors do not have Beast Taming Spaces!

The Nightmare Court actually has a way to help Star Warriors and Demon Beast Tamers sign contracts?

Chen Fan stared at the triangular-eyed man and said, "So, you guys were cleaved in two by my blades, yet you didn't summon any demons? Is it because you haven't signed a contract with the demons yet?"

"Yes!" the triangular-eyed man said, "They will only allow demons to sign a contract with us if the demons are at least at the fourth rank."

"The three of us are only at the second-grade, third-level Heavenly Realm; we're still a long way from the fourth grade."

After reaching the fourth rank, the Nightmare Court allows Star Warriors to sign a contract with demons...

No wonder the Nightmare Court is so powerful... Just for this reason alone, all the Star Warriors in the world would probably rush to join the Nightmare Court!

However, the fifth-rank expert who chased Zhen Qing and Ye Hao earlier did not summon any demons, did he?

Is it that it wasn't there, or that it wasn't summoned?

Let's ask Ye Hao again later.

Chen Fan's heart was in turmoil, but his face remained expressionless.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan waved to Chu Xuan on the other side.

Chu Xuan returned, carrying the hooked-nosed man.

Chen Fan flipped the knife handle and knocked both the triangular-eyed man and the hook-nosed man unconscious with two quick blows.

Then he asked, "How much did this hook-nosed fellow say about that ancient formation?"

"Not much, about the same as what Chiyoko said, but Chiyoko talked about a secret realm, while he said a forbidden zone," Chu Xuan said. "You really want to go to that ancient formation?"

"Of course not... Am I out of my mind? A second-grade cultivator going to compete with a bunch of big shots for treasure?" Chen Fan scoffed. "Besides, whether there are even any treasures inside is questionable. What if there's a level 45 Dominator-level monster inside?"

"A bunch of people rushing in to become its food?"

Chu Xuan: "Then why are you so concerned about the ancient formation?"

Chen Fan rolled his eyes: "If I can't go myself, can't I sell this information? For example, sell it to Donghai City, or sell it to those big shots in Shanghai."

Chu Xuan was taken aback: "Isn't the city lord your senior brother?"

Chen Fan glared at Chu Xuan: "Even between brothers, accounts should be kept clear. Besides, the city lord is the city lord, and the city lord's mansion is the city lord's mansion."

Chu Xuan: "What you said makes a lot of sense."

Suddenly, Chu Xuan noticed the "T"-shaped piece of wood on the ground: "What's this?"

Chen Fan: "Oh, a little toy."

Chu Xuan: "How do we play?"

Chen Fan: "You won't like playing this game."

Chu Xuan silently stared at the sharp piece of wood, without asking any further questions.

Chen Fan smiled and waved to Chiyoko and the other two.

Chiyoko and her two companions walked over.

Chen Fan pointed to the "T"-shaped piece of wood on the ground and said, "Anyone who dares to scheme against me will pay the price."

"This time, if you don't pay a satisfactory price..."

"I'd like to invite you to play with this toy."

Chiyoko and the other two turned deathly pale instantly.

This demon...

Chiyoko bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle and said, "Chen Fan-kun, what do you want?"

Chen Fan snapped his fingers: "Money!"

That's really straightforward...

This man is probably obsessed with money.

Chiyoko glanced at Chen Fan silently and said, "To repay Mr. Chen Fan for saving our lives, we will pay you 4000 million Alliance Coins after we leave the secret realm... Is that alright with you?"

"Deal!" Chen Fan smiled and extended his hand. "It's been a pleasure doing business with you. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again in the future."

"..." Chiyoko shook hands with Chen Fan somewhat blankly.

The two women behind him had no expression.

Although Chen Fan saved me, I still feel very uncomfortable about being ripped off like this.

The key point is that they don't dare to show their displeasure!

After thanking Chen Fan again, Chiyoko and the two women hurriedly left.

Come visit often when you have time!

Chen Fan waved his hand.

Chiyoko, who had already walked quite a distance, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

The smile on Chen Fan's face slowly faded.

Those who captured the Nightmare Court had to end their mining expedition.

There are still many Fire Demon Stone mines on that map that haven't been mined yet.

We can't exactly take these two guys mining, can we?

Moreover, one of them had his leg bitten off by Xiao Qing, and the other had both of his leg tendons severed by the old ape. If they were to be taken to mine, the only option would be for the Heavenly Desolate Divine Ox or the Heavy Beetle King to carry them.

Seeing Chen Fan frown, Chu Xuan said, "There's plenty of time for mining later."

"You can enter the second secret realm after some time has passed."

"Okay." Chen Fan picked up Xiaobai and raised his triangular eyes: "Let's go back to the cave. We'll head back home first thing tomorrow morning."

……

Early the next morning.

After leaving the second secret realm, Chen Fan and his group escorted the two Nightmare Court members to the Black Armor Army's camp.

Inside the house, just as a squad of soldiers in black armor were preparing to take the two men away...

"Wait!"

Chen Fan stopped the Black Armor Army: "Wait a moment, I have something to attend to."

The black-armored army captain was slightly taken aback: "Is there anything else?"

Chen Fan gently patted the triangular-eyed man and the hooked-nosed man, and said, "How much money do you have in your account? Transfer it all to me."

With their triangular eyes and hooked noses, Fang Qingqing, Bai Rugo, and the group of black-armored soldiers were all stunned.

"Young Master Fan, I'm afraid this won't work..." The black-armored army captain frowned.

Chen Fan immediately flew into a rage: "These are prisoners I captured, which means I killed them. Is there anything wrong with me taking their equipment? Is there anything wrong with me picking up the money from monsters? Have you ever played online games?"

"..." The Black Armor Army was stunned by what he said.

Chen Fan continued, "Considering that their smartwatches might contain information you need, I didn't even remove them. What's wrong with me asking them for a little money?"

"We were having a great time mining and killing monsters in the second secret realm, but we had to stop our plans in order to bring these two people out."

"Is it not allowed for me to ask those two to make up for some of the losses?"

The black-armored army captain gave an awkward laugh: "Well... then you can ask."

Chen Fan looked at the triangular-eyed man.

The man with the triangular eyes sneered, "I have 6000 million in my account, and I'm not giving it to you, so what?"

He concluded that the Black Armor Army would not allow Chen Fan to torture them.

So, I became bolder again.

Giving this money to the City Lord's Mansion of Donghai City might get you better treatment.

Why should this brat get it?

"6000 million?"

Chen Fan said with a hint of frustration, "Are all the people from the Nightmare Court this poor?"

The man with the triangular eyes sneered again: "Are you kidding me? 6000 million is poor??"

Chen Fan unpacked a package he was carrying on his back, revealing half of a fiery red fire demon stone, and said, "Even a single fire demon stone of mine should be worth several hundred million, right?"

"Your entire fortune is only 6000 million, aren't you poor?"

"..." The triangular-eyed man, the hooked-nosed man, and the black-armored soldiers were all stunned.

Fire Demon Stone...

More than a meter tall!

And it's so pure!

Does the Second Secret Realm have such a large Fire Demon Stone?

How come I've never heard of this before?

Such a large piece of Fire Demon Stone is indeed worth hundreds of millions!

The two people in the Nightmare Court stared blankly at the fire demon stone, suddenly looking somewhat lost and disoriented.

They thought that once they entered the Nightmare Court, they could do whatever they wanted and control the wind and rain.

I never imagined that all that hard work would amount to such a small amount of money in my account, just a tiny fraction of what a kid's account has?

Chen Fan: "It seems you're not willing to transfer the money?"

"Brothers of the Black Armor Army, please step back a bit, I'm about to use my ultimate move."

Chen Fan took out the itching powder.

"I'll turn around!"

The person with the triangular eyes was startled.

He had eaten the powder from the Itchy Fruit once before in the secret realm.

He'd rather take poison than feel that way!

Both the man with triangular eyes and a hooked nose transferred money to Chen Fan's account.

There's no way to navigate inside the secret realm.

Because there is no network signal inside the secret realm.

A group of soldiers in black armor silently watched the two transfer the money, a sense of absurdity rising in their hearts.

Thanks!

Chen Fan smiled broadly, warmly shook hands with the man with the triangular eyes and hooked nose, and left the Black Armor Army's house.

Behind them, Bai Rugo, Fang Qingqing, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Let's head back!"

After Chen Fan loaded the Fire Demon Stone and piles of monster corpses onto the truck that the War God Academy had prepared in advance, he and Chu Xuan and the others boarded an armored vehicle and headed towards Donghai City.

After a long silence in the car, Ye Hao finally said, "Brother Fan, I've discovered that you're incredibly skilled at business!"

"You even managed to get your hands on the money from those two in Nightmare's Court?"

Chu Xuan said, "He also extorted 4000 million from Chiyoko."

Everyone: "..."

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and said, "Then how can you call it extortion? That's called cooperation, sincere cooperation!"

"I saved them, and they gave me money."

"What's the problem?"

Li Fengxing said with a hint of bitterness, "The most I ever had in my account was a little over a million. Even so, apart from Ru Ge, no one at Tian Sheng Academy could compare to me in wealth."

"And now you guys are talking about tens of millions, hundreds of millions..."

Shen Daodao patted his shoulder and said, "Now, you can also say tens of millions or hundreds of millions all the time."

Upon hearing this, Li Fengxing's eyes lit up, and he beamed with delight!

Fang Qingqing suddenly blushed slightly and said, "After I go back this time, I... I also want to buy a suit of armor like Chen Fan's, as well as a longsword of this high-grade Xuanbing level."

Everyone nodded.

Suddenly, Shen Hongxiu said, "Look over there, it seems like something's going on?"

Chen Fan and his group looked ahead and saw a dozen huge fire ants surrounding a group of people and attacking them fiercely!

Nearby, an armored vehicle had been overturned!

"Level 10 Skyfire Ants!"

Chen Fan was surprised when he saw the Fire Ant's attribute panel.

Among that group of fire ants, there were actually two level 10 fire ants!

In addition to the two level 10 Skyfire Ants, there are four level 9 Skyfire Ants and five level 8 Skyfire Ants!

Are these fire ants left over from a previous ant swarm?

"parking!"

Chen Fan shouted, "The car is parked here, none of you get out!"

"Chu Xuan, the driver, and I will get off!"

The driver was a third-grade Star Warrior.

The three of them immediately got out of the car.

Chen Fan summoned Xiaobai and Xiaoqing.

The old ape immediately opened up the Shadow Canopy, enveloping the three of them and Xiaobai and the others.

Under the cover of the dark sky, the three of them stealthily crept over.

I got a little closer...

Among the group, a middle-aged man wielding a meteor hammer was battling two level 10 fire ants and four level 9 fire ants.

Meanwhile, the other six youths, along with a large group of beast tamers, were locked in a fierce battle with the remaining five level-eight fire ants!

The middle-aged man was quite powerful, but his right leg seemed to be seriously injured, and he limped around. He was able to kill the level 10 fire ants several times, but in the end, he was forced to dodge in a sorry state by the fire ants' flames.

The six youths, leading a group of beast tamers, attacked five level 8 Heavenly Fire Ants, but faced numerous dangers!

Whether they are beast tamers or beast riders, they are all covered in wounds!

"Chu Xuan, you and Xiao Bai go help those six people."

Chen Fan whispered, "The driver and I are going to deal with those level 10 fire ants."

After getting close to the vicinity...

Gangzi has unleashed his "bloodlust"!

Xiaoqing then added "Azure Crystal Armor" to everyone!

Chen Fan burst out of the shadowy sky, leaped into the air, and slashed wildly down at a level 10 fire ant!

"Someone's coming to our aid!"

The few people who were fighting fiercely were overjoyed.

But when everyone saw Chen Fan take off into the air, their expressions froze!

This fighting style is certainly domineering, but it's a bit stupid!

You haven't reached the sixth rank, so you can't fly at all!

In case of an accident...

"call!"

The unexpected happened. In the instant everyone froze, the fire ant suddenly turned around and spewed a mouthful of fire at Chen Fan!

"It's over..."

Jiang Yuanfan looked pained.

This kid, who's about their age, is such a reckless fellow!

"brush!"

A blinding flash of light erupted, cleaving through the flames of the fire ant and splitting its massive body in two!

flame?

Even a level 12 Ghostface Giant Lizard, a high-level and extraordinary being, couldn't break through this defense.

What are low-level extraordinary level 10 fire ants?

Chen Fan didn't even try to dodge. As soon as he landed, he quickly ran three steps to the left and swept his sword horizontally!

"Pfft!"

The body of a level 9 Skyfire Ant was also split open, with blood and corrosive acid flowing all over the ground!

At the same time, the third-grade second-level Heavenly Star martial artist who had driven Chen Fan and the others earlier had his right gauntlet flashing with light, and with one punch, he smashed another level 10 Heavenly Fire Ant so hard that its head was dented!

A punch from a third-grade, second-level expert wearing gauntlets is so powerful that even an ordinary level 12 monster might not be able to withstand it!

The third-rank Star Warrior laughed loudly and charged into the midst of several level 9 Heavenly Fire Ants like a tiger among sheep, smashing them to death with a single punch.

Meanwhile, after killing two level 9 fire ants, Chen Fan charged into the swarm of level 8 fire ants.

He and Chu Xuan quickly crossed paths, and one by one, the level 8 Heavenly Fire Ants fell to the ground and died!

With the help of Xiaoqing and the old ape, the group of fire ants didn't even have a chance to escape and were all killed in a few moves!

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

Jiang Yuanfan and the others watched in disbelief as Chen Fan and Chu Xuan slaughtered a group of fire ants like gods of death.

Judging from their appearance, these two people who "appeared out of nowhere" should be about the same age as them, right?

……

Seeing that Chen Fan and Chu Xuan had killed all the Heavenly Fire Ants, Shen Hongxiu and Bai Rugo got out of the car.

"These people are not from Donghai City."

As Bai Rugo walked, she said, "Among these six people, three are stronger than any of us."

Shen Hongxiu nodded as well: "I don't recognize them... They're in a sorry state. These guys are really unlucky to encounter such high-level Fire Ants in the Second Secret Realm!"

"After the ant swarm, Donghai City was cleaned up, but many still escaped."

As they approached, one of the six men, a young man with a bloodstain on his forehead, walked towards Chen Fan.

He smiled and said, "Thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would be buried in a foreign land this time."

"I never expected that we'd encounter monsters of this level so close to Donghai City..."

Chen Fan glanced at the overturned armored vehicle and asked, "Are you heading to Donghai City?"

"Yes." The young man glanced enviously at Chen Fan's armor, nodded, and said, "My name is Jiang Yuanfan. We came from Yanwu City and are heading to Donghai City."

"We've only encountered one high-level monster along the way so far."

"I never expected that after Uncle Fang, who was protecting us, was poisoned and injured, we would suddenly encounter so many terrifying fire ants."

"Yanwu City?" Shen Hongxiu's lips curled slightly as she said, "Yanwu City is to the west, more than a thousand miles away from Donghai City. You drove all the way here like this, fighting your way through?"

"Not only that, we even took a detour all the way to Dream Star City in the south..." Jiang Yuanfan smiled awkwardly: "It is quite far."

A young man with a buzz cut stepped forward and said, "I've heard that you have two geniuses in Donghai City, one named Chen Fan and the other Chu Xuan. Even Grandmaster Yun Canghai speaks highly of them. You both know them, right?"

Chen Fan: "I know Chu Xuan."

Chu Xuan: "I know Chen Fan."

Ye Hao stepped forward: "I know Brother Fan, but I don't know that scoundrel Chu Xuan."

Chu Xuan remained expressionless, as if Ye Hao's words had nothing to do with him.

The crew-cut youth immediately laughed and said, "These two geniuses from Donghai City have been making quite a splash lately, haven't they?"

"After hearing about it, we were itching to get started, so we immediately formed a team and prepared to have a match with them."

"It's just a bit frustrating. The navigation was wrong, and we ended up at Dream Star City after making so many turns."

"..." Jiang Yuanfan and the others covered their faces.

He just blurted out something so embarrassing.

What a bad start...

"Dream Star City?" Bai Rugo grinned. "You were traveling from west to east, and after a few twists and turns, you ended up in Dream Star City in the south?"

The young man with the buzz cut scratched his head sheepishly: "More than that, we circled the Yunluo Mountains in Dream Star City several times."

"If it weren't for a local guiding us, we might not have been able to find our way out!"

Jiang Yuanfan and the others: "..."

Chen Fan and the others: "..."

The young man with the buzz cut wanted to speak, but Jiang Yuanfan covered his mouth.

Can't say any more.

If we keep talking like this, there's no point in going to find Chen Fan and Chu Xuan anymore; we might as well just admit defeat.

I can't afford to lose face like this!

Not only did we take the wrong route, but we haven't even reached Donghai City yet, and we almost got burned to death by the fire ants...

The people who saved them are still from Donghai City!

A little awkward...
