An Invitation? Then Let's Go!
Su Qingyue looked at Chen Fan and said in a strange tone, "He invited Qi Ming... that wolf demon you just killed, to join forces to besiege another Intermediate Guardian Zone of our Human Race."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran's expression changed drastically. He exclaimed in shock, "It's the Blackrock Guardian Zone! I know that place! The Guardian there is Senior Zhang Zhi, whose strength is at the Fifth-Turn Bone Tempering! Even they are in danger, so this enemy is probably extremely powerful!"
In an instant, Shen Xuan, Tuo Bashan and the others all became serious and turned their gazes toward Chen Fan.
Faced with a powerful alliance capable of threatening even Fifth-Turn Bone Tempering expert, this was no longer a battle they could easily intervene in.
However, Chen Fan seemed not to have heard Xiao Ran's warning and walked nonchalantly to the bloodstained stone tablet.
He stretched out his delicate little hand and curiously touched the still-dry bloodstains on it, then looked up with an incredibly innocent smile on his face.
"If someone invites us so sincerely, wouldn't it be extremely impolite to refuse?"
"Reply to him."
Chen Fan paused, his smile growing even brighter.
"Just say that we, representing Qi Ming, have agreed."
Amidst the utter astonishment of the crowd, Chen Fan gently touched the stone tablet with his blood-stained finger.
Buzz!
A crimson signal representing agreement transformed into a Stream of Light of light that shot into the sky, instantly disappearing into the Void.
The air in front of the Annihilation Stele seemed to have frozen into ice.
Xiao Ran and Lin Jue felt a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads, and their scalps tingled.
This is insane!
This guy is an absolute madman!
"Chen... Chen Fan!" Xiao Ran's voice was urgent. He rushed to Chen Fan in one stride. "You can't go! You absolutely can't go!"
"The Alien Races Alliance that dared to besiege the Blackrock Guardian Zone... the leader of that team is at least Fifth-Turn Bone Tempering Realm monster, possibly even a Sixth-Turn one! The Guardian there, Senior Zhang Zhi, is himself a top-tier expert in the Fifth-Turn Bone Tempering Realm. Forcing him to ask for reinforcements, their strength is beyond our comprehension!"
"Those of us who've gone through the thick and thin, we're not even enough to fill their teeth!"
Xiao Ran was truly anxious. He had seen too many arrogant Prodigies perish in the Core Zone. Chen Fan's talent was indeed unprecedented, but the gap in their cultivation levels was an insurmountable chasm.
However, faced with his urgent dissuasion, Shen Xuan simply unfolded his folding fan and gently waved it.
He stepped forward and patted Xiao Ran's stiff shoulder with the handle of a folding fan, his tone low and melancholic, carrying a hint of world-weariness.
"Brother Xiao, don't panic, you'll get used to it."
"You have to understand, in Brother Chen's group, there are only those who complain about not having enough meat to go around, not those who complain about having too many wolves."
On the other side, Tuo Bashan excitedly pounded his rock-solid chest, making a muffled sound.
"Perfect! I just broke through to the first stage, and I was just looking for someone tough enough to test my skills against!" His eyes gleamed, his fighting spirit almost tangible. "Fifth-Turn? Sixth-Turn? That'll be more exciting!"
Su Qingyue stood quietly to the side, silently closing her eyes. Her powerful Mental Power surged around her like a tide, clearly preparing for the upcoming battle, showing no fear of the so-called danger.
Looking at their teammates, whose mental state was exceptionally advanced, Xiao Ran and Lin Jue exchanged a glance, both seeing deep bewilderment and shock in each other's eyes.
What kind of people are these?!
After a long pause, Xiao Ran took a deep breath, and the fear in his eyes was gradually replaced by a resolute look.
He thought of Zhang Zhi, who was besieged, and of the annihilation that the Human Race would face in this region if the Blackrock Guardian Zone fell.
That's enough!
I'd risk my life to accompany you!
He gritted his teeth, solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Fan, and said, "Since Brother Chen Fan has made his decision, I, Xiao Ran, will accompany you on this journey with my life!"
Lin Jue and the other survivors stepped forward together, their expressions solemn, clearly prepared to die.
Just then, the Annihilation Stele flickered again, projecting a new line of Alien Races script: the coordinates of a canyon two hundred miles away, and a short word.
Come quick!
Chen Fan grinned, revealing a set of clean white teeth; his smile was harmless.
"Let's go, don't keep the host waiting."
Let's go and... bring them some warmth.
The group transformed into Stream of Light, swiftly traversing the desolate land of the Core Zone, following the coordinates.
Thirty times the gravity was like flat ground for Chen Fan and Tuo Bashan, and Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue had also adapted. Only Xiao Ran and the others still needed to circulate their Qi and Blood to resist it, so their speed was slightly slower.
Chen Fan didn't urge him. He put his hands behind his head and walked leisurely at the front, while his mind was constantly working out the martial arts technique he had just created.
With the Second-Turn Bone Tempering, the golden spots on his White Jade Bones became increasingly bright, allowing him to control his power with ever-more precise precision.
How to perfectly unleash this power through the Star Shattering, so that with a single punch, Stars would crumble and all laws would be reduced to ruins—that was what he was most interested in at this moment.
After the group had traveled about 190 li, Su Qingyue, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly trembled slightly.
"Stop."
Her cool voice rang out, and everyone immediately stopped in their tracks.
"Ten miles ahead lies the canyon where the coordinates are located." Su Qingyue's expression turned unusually solemn. "Within the canyon, at least a thousand Alien Races auras are lurking, densely packed, among which three auras... are like Abyss, unfathomably deep."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran's heart sank to the bottom.
Three terrifying beings who have at least Fifth-Turn or higher!
This lineup is even more terrifying than he expected!
However, Chen Fan seemed not to hear, and raised his eyebrows with interest.
"Everyone, conceal your presence."
He gave an order, then straightened his collar and swaggered off toward the Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Den, acting more like he was visiting a neighbor than venturing into a dangerous place.
Shen Xuan and the others immediately did as instructed, perfectly disguising their aura as that of the most ordinary neutral race.
Soon, the group arrived at the canyon entrance.
The terrain here is treacherous, with two towering cliffs piercing the sky like swords, leaving only a narrow passage in between.
As soon as they stepped into the outer edge of the canyon, several figures emerged from the shadows and blocked their path.
They were several tall figures with bat-like wings on their backs.
The leading Four-Eyed Demon Race possessed a powerful aura, having reached the peak of the Second-Turn Bone Tempering. His sinister gaze swept over Chen Fan and the others, finally settling on Chen Fan's youthful face, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
"Stop!"
He shouted sternly.
"Where is Qi Ming of the Moon-Devouring Silver Wolf Clan? Why didn't he come?"
"What does it mean that he sent you bunch of useless trash here?"
