The rest depends on how much Jiang Ran can grow.
(Do you want to use it...Universal Stone...)
Looking at the "glass bead"-like stone in his hand, Jiang Ran hesitated again and again, but decided not to use it for the time being.
Now is not the time for this stone to play its greatest role.

At the same time, near the camp, two elders of the Snow Deer family were whispering about their opinions on the young man Fei Ke.
They had a pleasant time getting along with this young man along the way. Whenever they encountered any monsters in the wild, this young man would be the first to rush forward and would not leave all the dirty work to the scouts.
The reason why fighting monsters is described as a dirty job is that both the six scouts and the two elders are already at the maximum level, and defeating monsters will not bring them any growth. In addition, the monsters encountered so far are all at the first level, and affected by the experience penalty mechanism, the two elders and scouts cannot gain any experience at all.
Judging from the fighting level that the boy has shown so far, the two elders believe that he has hidden his strength and his real level should be around level four. In addition, the two elders also believe that the multiple black figures that suddenly appeared in the distance of the camp tonight should be related to the boy Fei Ke.
What on earth was this young man up to? The two elders agreed to continue observing and making their own decisions. They wouldn't let him get away anyway.
At this stage, the two elders each have their own plans.
The Deer God Elder was planning to discuss with the young Fike whether he could breed his Thunder Horned Warhorse, because the Deer God Elder truly admired the Thunder Horned Warhorse, which was majestic and full of leadership qualities.
Elder Le Xian noticed that his granddaughter Vanessa had a secret crush on Fike. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but the problem was that Vanessa was already half the fiancée of the Bilisha family. If this matter continued to develop, at best it would be harmless, but at worst it could lead to the severance of ties between the two families or even to war.
As a grandfather, he certainly cannot watch the risks gradually escalate, so Elder Le Xian must find a way to destroy the image of young Fei Ke in Vanessa's mind.
·
There is a technique to destroy a man's image in a woman's mind.
Elder Le Xian has lived for such an old age and has some understanding of human nature.
In his opinion, the simplest and quickest way is to attack the opponent's weaknesses. For example, good-looking people are generally not good at fighting, smart people are usually dull when dealing with emotions, etc. However, this young man Fei Ke is really capable. At least in the eyes of Elder Le Xian, this guy has no obvious weaknesses.
In this case, Elder Le Xian can only do the opposite and use the "strengths" of the young man Fike to destroy Vanessa's good impression of him. But don't get me wrong, the "strengths" here do not refer to "strengths" in the literal sense.
Elder Lexian believes that Vanessa's love for the young man Fike is mainly due to three aspects:
First, this guy is calm and intelligent, and good at strategy;
Second, this guy is incredibly skilled, having reached the fourth level at such a young age;
Third, this guy is indeed handsome. Without being modest, he looks no less handsome than Elder Le Xian when he was young.
These three aspects are also the three strengths of the young man Fei Ke. Except for the third one, which is difficult for Elder Le Xian to disfigure him, the first and second ones can be targeted.
As long as Elder Le Xian can make the young man Fike act foolishly and embarrass himself in front of Vanessa, and then lose to an enemy who "looks weak", Vanessa's good impression of the young man Fike will be destroyed.
As for how to make this happen, Elder Le Xian has his own way, but he just needs to wait for a convenient time to "take action."
·
·
The next morning, the special team of the Snow Deer family arrived at the border between the Kingdom of West and the Farnas Empire. Since they wanted to act secretly, they did not go through the regular checkpoints, but chose the wilderness where monsters roamed.
The land bordering the two countries is long and narrow, and smuggling is not difficult as long as one has the ability to repel the monsters that come after hearing the noise.
Elder Le Xian followed the team's flank as usual. His gaze would drift to the young man Fei Ke from time to time, and then he would observe and perceive the situation around him. Some unconventional ideas were trickling through his mind, and gradually he had an idea.
"Elder Deer God, there's something unusual in the northwest direction. I'll go take a look and come back!"
Elder Le Xian greeted them, then rode away from the group in a somewhat arbitrary manner.
His behavior this time was not because he really discovered anything unusual, but because he was starting to "set up" a stage for the young man Fike to be humiliated.
·
After leaving the team, Elder Le Xian dismounted and ran away, because at his level, his running speed was actually much faster than riding an ordinary horse.
Then he quickly rushed to the route ahead of the team and scattered some thyme seeds along the way.
Mushroom seeds are usually used to lure away monsters, or placed in traps to lure monsters in, but Elder Le Xian is using them now to attract enough monsters to their team in order to complete his plan to embarrass the young Fike.
Not long after, Elder Le Xian rejoined the team and explained calmly that there was no problem in the northwest direction, allowing the team to move forward at full speed without worry.
But just after they continued forward for a few minutes, an "abnormal" situation occurred. Dozens of monsters of different races surrounded them from all directions like sharks smelling blood.
"These monsters are really hungry. They run away faster than anything else when they smell a human."
Elder Le Xian calmly drew out his flamboyant wood flute, and his deer spirit was ready.
"Don't bother with anything, just leave it to us."
Just like before, the young man Fei Ke volunteered, and then together with six scouts, he took the initiative to go out to the periphery of the team to face the enemy, and was about to break out into battle with the monsters.
Elder Le Xian watched with a smile as this development was in line with the plan. Next, it was his turn to secretly help the young man Fei Ke.
——(Vanessa, you better watch carefully… This is the “real” appearance of your “Fickle Boy”.)
8.180 - Plans Failed
Elder Lexian Reeves is one of the combat power ceilings of the Snow Deer Clan.
Although he and Deer God Elder Telder are both sixth-rank "Divine Deer Soul Envoys", their fighting styles are completely different.
Elder Le Xian's fighting style could be described as the complete form of Vanessa's. With only a phoenix wood flute and a deer spirit, he was able to unleash his full strength.
In addition, Elder Lexian has his own unique tricks. He is good at inserting "hidden melodies" into various "concertos". These "hidden melodies" can not only be used to strengthen the deer spirit, but also quietly impose various negative states on the enemy.
At this moment, Elder Le Xian joined the battle for the first time during his journey, citing the large number of enemies.
However, his real purpose was not to help, but to impose a negative state on the young man Fike without anyone noticing.
·
As Elder Lexian joined the battle, the melodious flute melody flew around like an elf.
He saw the opportunity and targeted the young man, first inflicting the negative effect of "fear" on him.
As the saying goes, courage is the foundation of fighting. When a soldier loses his courage on the battlefield, no matter how capable he is, he can only become a deserter.
When the "Hidden Melody: Midnight Cowardly Tune" sounded, the directional magic sound immediately and silently penetrated into the body of the young man Fike. Elder Lexian stared at him silently, just waiting to see the moment when the young man showed his timidity and embarrassment.
However, as time passed, the monsters fell one after another. Instead of showing any signs of fear, the young Fei Ke became more and more courageous, which made Elder Le Xian's eyes widen in disbelief...!
— (Are you kidding? This is the 'Midnight Fearful Tune' that is guaranteed to work on targets of level 5 or below!)
Elder Le Xian was quite surprised in his heart, but on the surface he still maintained an indifferent look. After all, he was doing bad things secretly.
Now, although he didn't know why "Midnight Cowardly Tune" had no effect, he had no choice but to continue playing it because it was the most effective piece of music among his cowardly and negative types.
Elder Lexian hoped that playing for a longer period of time would produce some effect, but to his frustration, the young Fei Ke did not show the slightest fear until the end of the battle.
·
·
Elder Le Xian sighed silently. This young man Fei Ke either had the same strength of the sixth level as him and hid it so well that neither he nor Elder Lu Shen could see it, or he was equipped with some special equipment that could protect him from the influence of "Midnight Frightening Tune".
Seeing that the young man Fike and the scouts were about to start cleaning up the corpses of the monsters, Elder Le Xian came up with another plan. If he could make the young man Fike show his greedy face at this time, it would also make Vanessa feel disgusted with him.
So, Elder Lexian played the "Deer Spirit Solo·Second Movement·Yarrow", under the pretext of restoring the stamina of the deer spirits, but in fact he was secretly playing the "Hidden Melody·A Little Song for Profit" in this solo.
The effective level of this "Greedy Song" is the same as that of "Midnight Cowardly Tune". As long as the young man Fike does not have the strength of the sixth level, he will definitely fall into the trap, and then he will lose his rationality and want to take all the monster materials for himself.
But~but, until Elder Lexian finished playing "Deer Spirit Solo·Second Movement·Yarrow", the young man Fei Ke did not show any abnormality.
Not only did he maintain his usual gentle demeanor, but after helping to dismember the monsters' corpses, there was not even a drop of blood on his body.
——(Who the hell is this kid…?)
Elder Le Xian slowly put away the flamboyant wood flute, his hands trembling slightly.
At this time, he had forgotten his original purpose, and only one thought remained in his mind, which was why this guy Fike was not affected by his hidden melody?
·
After entering the Farnas Empire, Elder Le Xian has been observing and thinking.
Judging from what he saw and perceived, this kid Fei Ke should not be wearing special equipment that can shield high-level negative states.
As for the "divine power" that cannot be observed and perceived, it is unlikely that this kid can possess it at his level, unless he really has the strength of the sixth level... or even above.
At his age, nearing death, and with a strength of 270, the sixth rank, was it really possible that he had made a mistake? Elder Le Xian began to doubt himself.
Elder Le Xian was really confused by the calmness of this kid Fei Ke.
After some careful consideration, Elder Le Xian's thoughts fell on two possibilities.
One possibility is that the young man Fei Ke does have the strength of level six or even above, but his appearance of being seventeen or eighteen years old is definitely not the "truth". Maybe his real identity is the "Son of God" of a big family in a country, and he is also the "Awakened Son of God" who has inherited the strength and memory of his previous life.
Another possibility is that Feike has passed the "Fifth Level Difficulty Purple Trial" at least once.
Elder Le Xian had heard from friends in other countries that as long as one passed the purple trial, one would be able to receive the blessings of the old gods. Some of these blessings could shield against certain types of negative effects.
No matter which of the two possibilities the young man Fei Ke belongs to, he is a person that Elder Le Xian cannot ignore.
Even though the young man Fike was "only" a fourth-level combat professional with no background who had "only" passed the purple trial once, at the age of less than twenty, he would definitely be a high-potential talent that would be sought after in the Kingdom of West.
——(This is getting difficult... This time...)
Elder Le Xian was really not happy at this moment. If things went wrong, this young man Fei Ke might really be worthy of making the Snow Deer Family cuckold the Green Lizard Family.
By then, an old man like Elder Le Xian who loves to watch the fun will not be able to watch the fun without getting involved.
What should he do? Elder Lexian looked at the young man Fei Ke, then at Vanessa, and was really confused...
He thought and thought, and then he just gave up.
——(Since you young people want to cause trouble, then you young people can solve it yourselves... As for me, the worst that can happen is that I retreat to the mountains and run away, hum~!)
·
Elder Le Xian's plan failed, and Elder Lu Shen was also frustrated by reality.
A few days ago, Elder Deer God found an opportunity to talk to the young Fei Ke about breeding the Thunderhorn Warhorse, and the young Fei Ke’s reply was that matters such as breeding should respect the opinions of his warhorse Xiao Moduo.
As long as Xiao Moduo is willing, he will not ask, and if Xiao Moduo is unwilling, he will not force him.
Elder Deer God was overjoyed to hear this. In this world, most men are animals with lower bodies, not to mention real animals and monsters.
Aren't males working so hard to become stronger just to get priority in choosing a mate? If a beautiful female were offered to them for free, which male would resist going to sire a child?
Therefore, Elder Deer God directly used local materials and selected five female horses from the nine war horses in the team. He sent them to the Thunderhorn Warhorse and let it choose for itself.
These female war horses of the Snow Deer family are all well-built and handsome, and can definitely make the Thunderhorn Warhorse burn with desire.
But what Elder Deer God did not expect was that the Thunderhorn Warhorse actually looked down on the female warhorses!
Even if the Deer God Elder ordered the female war horses to rape the Thunderhorn Warhorse, it would refuse to do so and even sent down lightning to drive the female war horses away!
8.181 - Broken Hope
Looking at the lightning warhorse that was flashing and crackling with lightning, Elder Deer God was deeply shocked.
Are there male animals in this world that can ignore females?
Could it be that the Thunderhorn Warhorse doesn't like mares?!
Or has the Thunderhorn Warhorse already seen through the mundane world?!
If that's the case, wouldn't his breeding plan be ruined from the very beginning?!
Elder Deer God really couldn't hide his disappointment. It was such a shame not to pass on such a good bloodline as the Thunderhorn Warhorse.
However, in addition to being shocked and lost, Elder Deer God also had some insights. He now understood that the reason why the Thunderhorn Warhorse was so powerful must be related to its powerful mental strength that was not controlled by reproductive desires.
As the saying goes, women only affect the speed of drawing a sword, and mares only affect the strength of the Thunderhorn Warhorse.
Since breeding is impossible due to this reason, Elder Deer God will no longer force it.
As a strong man, Elder Deer God sympathizes with the Thunderhorn Warhorse and will not trample on the dignity of the Thunderhorn Warhorse for his own selfish desires.
"Xiao Moduo, I respect the life you have chosen. No matter what the secular view is, I will firmly support you."
The Deer God Elder nodded heavily towards the Thunderhorn Warhorse, then turned and left.
Jiang Ran and Vanessa looked at the back of Elder Deer God as he left, and they both thought in their hearts that it would be better not to let Elder Deer God know about what happened between Xiao Moto (Xiao Modo) and Tianma Sasha.
