There's a Monster

"I can't even smell a trace of blood. Are all the Alien Races in this place so peace-loving?"

Chen Fan kicked a small, glowing mushroom at his feet listlessly, muttering to himself.

Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

Just as Chen Fan began to seriously consider whether to take a bite of these seemingly fancy mushrooms as Origin Source energy, Su Qingyue's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed, and she lowered her voice.

There's movement!

"Three people are approaching from the east, not very fast, and very wary!"

It's here!

Shen Xuan's spirits lifted, and his Qi and Blood surged instantly. He became like a sharp sword about to be drawn from its sheath, exuding a fierce aura.

Soon, three figures cautiously emerged from the shadow of the giant mushroom.

They were three Alien Races Prodigies resembling apes. Holding weapons, they moved forward step by step in a standard defensive formation, back to back, their expressions extremely tense, as if searching for some terrifying being.

Seeing their tense and wary demeanor, Shen Xuan was almost certain that the other party was coming for them.

He was about to draw his sword, his fighting spirit surging.

However, what happened the next second froze him in place.

The three cautious ape-like Ape Aliens finally peered over the layers of mushrooms and landed their gazes on Chen Fan and his two companions, who were standing leisurely.

The moment they saw Chen Fan's seemingly harmless ten-year-old face, their expressions froze, replaced by extreme terror.

"It's... it's Human Race!!"

"Run!!"

A piercing scream, completely distorted in tone, shattered the deathly silence of the forest.

Without the slightest hesitation, and without even having time to sheathe their weapons, they turned and ran!

They unleashed every ounce of strength they had, as if their ancestors were whipping them from behind, turning into three afterimages as they frantically fled into the distance, wishing their parents would give them two more legs.

"..."

"..."

This sudden and bizarre scene left both Shen Xuan, who was poised to attack, and Su Qingyue, who was standing guard, completely stunned.

Shen Xuan raised his hand, looking puzzled, and touched his face, which he considered to be fairly handsome.

"Are we... scary-looking?"

Su Qingyue did not answer, but her icy blue eyes gleamed with contemplation.

She seemed to... vaguely guess something.

"Hey!"

Chen Fan was annoyed.

The dessert that was almost in my mouth just slipped away like that?

This is an insult to him!

He stood with his hands on his hips, watching the three figures fleeing for their lives, and ordered Shen Xuan beside him with great dissatisfaction, "Little Shen, go and catch one of them."

"I'd like to ask them, why are they running away?"

Chen Fan tilted his head, adding with an innocent look, "Don't you know I'm here to bring them Bringing Warmth?"

What the hell is this "Bringing Warmth" nonsense!

You're sending them on their way!

Shen Xuan was internally ranting, but his face showed a completely used expression.

He sighed helplessly; he was already very skilled at this kind of job of capturing prisoners.

Alright.

He responded and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

A dazzling sword light, like a shooting star from Beyond the Heavens, flashed by and precisely blocked the path of the last Ape Alien.

The Ape Alien lost his balance when he braked suddenly and fell face-first into the mud. Before he could get up, he felt a tightness on the back of his neck and was lifted up by an irresistible force.

Shen Xuan, as if carrying a terrified chick, flashed back to his original spot in a few movements, casually tossing the Ape Alien had completely given up resistance in front of Chen Fan.

The captured Ape Alien lay sprawled on the ground, the multicolored mushroom light illuminating his hairy face, making it appear deathly pale.

Chen Fan crouched down, bringing his eyes level with those of the Ape Alien was slumped on the ground.

The vibrant colors of the mushrooms reflected in his clear eyes, making him appear exceptionally innocent.

He tilted his head, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you running? We're not bad people."

As he spoke, he flashed a bright, innocent smile, his two rows of small white teeth gleaming in the light.

"I just wanted to bring you some warmth."

Warmth?

Upon hearing this, the Ape Alien's already pale face turned three shades lighter in an instant, and every hair on its body stood on end in extreme fear, trembling like a withered leaf in the wind.

"Ha, spineless coward."

Upon seeing this, Shen Xuan's brows furrowed, and he stepped forward.

A sharp, condensed Sword Intent, almost tangible, erupted from his body, like an invisible sword piercing straight at the brow of the Ape Alien.

His voice was icy. "My Chen... Brother Chen is asking you a question. If you keep playing dead, believe me, I'll poke a hundred holes in you first."

However, faced with this Sword Intent that was enough to make an ordinary Organ Refining Realm lose their composure, the Ape Alien simply buried its head even deeper, curled up into a ball, and completely entered ostrich mode.

It's useless.

Shen Xuan's Sword Intent was clearly not as intimidating as Chen Fan's smiling face.

"Why."

Chen Fan sighed helplessly, his smile gradually fading, and a hint of impatience creeping onto his tender little face.

He extended a slender, white finger, and at its tip, a wisp of golden flame, thinner than a strand of hair, slowly condensed.

This is the Origin Power of the "Myriad Dao Furnace Scripture"!

Although the flame was small, it exuded a terrifying aura. The surrounding air hissed and sizzled the moment the flame appeared.

Chen Fan brought the wisp of golden flame close to the eyes of the Ape Alien, his voice remaining calm.

"I'm asking you this one last time. If you don't answer, my warmth will be delivered into your body myself."

I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll talk!

When that wisp of golden light was less than half an inch from the tip of his nose, the Ape Alien's psychological defenses finally collapsed completely.

A tremor from the deepest part of his soul told him that if he were touched by this thing, he would not die, but be completely erased from this world, leaving not even a trace!

He suddenly raised his head, tears streaming down his face, and with a heart-wrenching scream, revealed the truth.

"Don't kill me! It's because... it's because a Savage Human Race has come to this area!!"

"Savage Human Race?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Su Qingyue's beautiful, icy blue eyes.

"Yes! He's a madman! A complete and utter fighting maniac!"

The Ape Aliens seemed to recall some extremely terrifying scene, and their voices changed tone.

"That guy's a muscular burly man, at least two meters tall! All he thinks about is fighting!"

"He's completely unreasonable! Upon seeing a living creature, regardless of who it is or how strong it is, he'll just charge at it, let out a strange cry, and then... and then start a frenzied fight!"
