Wild Dogs

Then, Zhou Peng immediately controlled the puppet to jump out of the King of Men banner and respectfully handed the two boxes to Yang Fan.

As Yang Fan took the two boxes, a smile appeared on his lips. This was one of the biggest gains of the trip. He wondered what kind of treasures were inside.

Yang Fan carefully opened one of the boxes, and was surprised when he saw what was inside.

Inside the box was a black shield, no bigger than the palm of your hand.

What use can something so small be?

Yang Fan picked up the shield and examined it carefully, at which point Zhou Peng, standing beside him, hurriedly spoke up.

"Master, don't underestimate this shield. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a low-grade magic weapon, and a defensive one at that."

"Oh, a defensive magic item."

Yang Fan tried waving it in front of him, but the magic weapon didn't budge.

"Why isn't there any reaction?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Peng could only cough dryly.

"Master, you've only just established your foundation; how could you possibly activate a magic weapon?"

"That's true."

Yang Fan nodded helplessly. Magic treasures require cultivators at the Core Formation stage or above to activate. For a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him, even if he had a magic treasure, it would be useless.

Seeing this, Yang Fan could only shake his head helplessly.

"Sigh, it's so frustrating to have a treasure but not be able to use it."

He temporarily put away the magical artifact, but this time he didn't put it into his storage bag; instead, he put it into the golden ring he had used before.

This gold ring was what he took from Zhou Peng's body.

Seeing his storage ring fall into Yang Fan's hands, Zhou Peng felt a pang of regret, but he still obediently followed Yang Fan's side.

After putting that thing away, Yang Fan rubbed his hands together and carefully opened another box.

Then he couldn't help but sigh.

"What if there's another magical artifact inside? Wouldn't I be unable to use it then?"

"Master, why don't you open it and take a look? It's not that all magic treasures are unusable by Foundation Establishment stage cultivators."

"Oh, so that means some magical artifacts can be used?"

Yang Fan looked at Zhou Peng curiously.

"Then tell me what they are?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Peng laughed.

"Generally speaking, offensive and defensive magic weapons require a large amount of spiritual energy to activate, while speed-type magic weapons do not have such high requirements."

As long as a Foundation Establishment cultivator has enough spiritual energy, they can still barely activate those speed-type magic treasures, but this will definitely reduce their speed significantly.

Hearing this, Yang Fan nodded. He took a deep breath. He had already acquired a pair of boots, which could greatly increase his speed. If he could get a speed-enhancing magic item this time, that would be even better.

With this in mind, Yang Fan carefully opened the jade box with great anticipation.

Upon opening the jade box, a pair of gray boots appeared inside. Yang Fan was overjoyed. His wish had come true. He had been hoping for a speed-related magic item, but unexpectedly, it actually existed.

Picking up the boots, Yang Fan looked them over and exclaimed in admiration. The boots were clearly extraordinary. The material was extremely precious, and more importantly, there were several spirit-gathering arrays on the bottom of the boots, which could gather the surrounding spiritual energy. This was much better than the long boots that could only absorb wind attribute energy before.

Seeing this, Yang Fan immediately put on the boots and tried them on. He infused them with spiritual energy, but the boots didn't react at first.

"Master, this is a magic weapon; you must use it with all your might."

"Oh, I'll give it a try."

Yang Fan immediately poured most of his spiritual energy into the boots, and after a moment the boots reacted, then the boots carried Yang Fan and slammed heavily into the cliff face in front of him.

With a "thud," Yang Fan crashed into the cliff wall, landing in a daze.

He slowly and laboriously got up from the ground, rubbed his head, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This thing is way too fast."

To be honest, this is much faster than Yang Fan's previous speed. Now, with these boots, Yang Fan's speed is at least five times faster than before.

You should know that the previous pair of boots could only increase his speed by 50%, but these boots increased his speed by five times.

"Master, you can't unleash the full power of these boots yet, but even at this speed, you are much stronger than an ordinary early Foundation Establishment disciple."

"To be honest, Master, your speed is stronger than that of an ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Only late-Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators can barely catch up with you."

Hearing this, Yang Fan nodded.

"These boots are nice, really nice."

He put on the boots and carefully went outside. Then he tried to control the boots, and after several hours of trying, Yang Fan was finally able to control them as if they were his own arm.

Then he took off his boots and nodded in satisfaction.

"Good stuff, good stuff."

This way, he can get rid of his old boots and only keep these boots from now on.

After looking around, Yang Fan suddenly had an idea. After thinking about it, he put Zhou Peng back into the Human King Banner and then stuffed the Human King Banner back into the Banner.

Then he took out the small cauldron, as he had an idea and wanted to try it out.

But before trying this idea, let's see how that broken bell inside is doing.

Yang Fan silently uttered the word "big" in his mind, and the small cauldron immediately grew to several feet in size.

Then Yang Fan carefully reached inside and took the bell out.

Upon seeing the small bell, his eyes lit up. The small bell, which had previously appeared to be in a dilapidated state, had been completely repaired by the small cauldron.

Moreover, at this moment, two words appeared on the small bell: "Soul Suppressor".

"Oh, so this bell is called the Soul-Suppressing Bell."

After playing with the small bell for a while, Yang Fan carefully put it away, knowing that he definitely couldn't activate it with his current strength.

Although this item is not a genuine magical treasure, it is a replica. As a replica, its power is definitely much stronger than ordinary high-grade and top-grade magical treasures.

He absolutely cannot activate this thing with his current strength; he'll have to wait until he forms his core.

What a pity, otherwise having this treasure would have given us a much better chance.

Yang Fan shook his head, then put away the small bell, and then put his two pairs of boots inside.

Yang Fan wanted to try out the boots he had worn before, as they hadn't been upgraded yet.

He then grasped the small cauldron with both hands and silently chanted, trying to merge the two items together.

Ever since he discovered that the small cauldron could act according to his will, Yang Fan had been thinking about whether it could help him fuse the other items together.
