Battle at the Edge of the Monster Mountain Range!

Yan Lingji: @Xiao Fan, sorry, Brother Xiao Fan. It's getting late, and I'm worried my family will worry if they can't find me. After all, the village was just hit by war. I'll come find you in a couple of days. Flying kiss

Xiao Fan: It's fine, I understand. Rong'er sent me all the cooked Bear Paw. I'll send everyone a portion so you can enjoy the delicacy at home too. Red Packet

Yan Lingji claimed Xiao Fan's Red Packet and received a portion of Bear Paw!

Ye Wen claimed...

Zhu Yuanzhang...

Huang Rong claimed Xiao Fan's Red Packet and received a portion of Bear Paw!

Huang Rong claimed Xiao Fan's Red Packet and received 15,256 Points!

Qian Renxue: Young Master Xiao gave Miss Huang more than fifteen thousand Points?? Shocked

Yan Lingji: Wow, so many Points! I'm so jealous of little sister Rong'er. Envious

Ye Wen: Young Master Xiao is so generous! Worship

Zhu Yuanzhang: What a grand gesture, Young Master Xiao! Fists clasped

Huang Rong: Ah, Brother Xiao Fan, why did you send me so many Points! Surprised

Xiao Fan: @Huang Rong, this is a reward for your hard work. Besides, you also deserve some credit for how I managed to earn more than five million Points. Consider this small change a gift.

Huang Rong: I deserve credit too? Surprised

Xiao Fan: If I say you do, then you do. Picking nose

If Huang Rong had been able to deal with the Bear Paw herself, Xiao Fan would not have had her send it back so he could clean it at the water source. Then he might have overlooked the Earth Tyrant Bear's nest.

Although Huang Rong did not know about that, Xiao Fan had made a huge profit, so he shared some of his joy with her.

Huang Rong: Hehe, then thank you, Brother Xiao Fan. I can raise my Cultivation Realm by quite a bit again. Thanks

Xiao Fan: All right, I'm going to enjoy the delicious Bear Paw Rong'er cooked. Eating

Zhu Yuanzhang: @Xiao Fan, Young Master Xiao, I have some treasured fine wine here. I'll send you two jars to taste. Xiao Fan's exclusive Red Packet

Xiao Fan: @Zhu Yuanzhang, thanks.

After offering his thanks, Xiao Fan directly claimed the two jars of Imperial Wine Zhu Yuanzhang had gifted him. Drinking the Imperial Wine while eating the delicious Bear Paw, he felt utterly content.

The other members of the group also began tasting the delicious Bear Paw Xiao Fan had gifted them.

Yan Lingji: Hehe, I've already started eating. This Bear Paw is incredibly delicious! Delicious

Qian Renxue: It really is delicious. It's hard to imagine that I'm eating the flesh of a First Class God.

Ye Wen: Its color, aroma, and flavor are all excellent. It truly is a delicacy. And after only one bite, I can feel an extra surge of energy in my body. My physical strength has greatly improved, and even my true qi cultivation seems to have progressed somewhat. Surprised

Huang Rong: I feel the same way. As expected of magical beast meat at the Land Immortal level!

Xiao Fan: Magical beast meat does contain a certain amount of energy, but this is only a small piece of meat. It probably won't improve much. Better to simply focus on enjoying the food. This Bear Paw is tender and smooth yet still pleasantly chewy, its fragrance filling the mouth. Rong'er, your cooking is amazing!

Huang Rong: Hehe, I'm happy as long as Brother Xiao Fan likes it. Happy

Everyone chatted while enjoying the delicious Bear Paw, all feeling quite at ease.

Among them, the weaker Qian Renxue, Ye Wen, and Huang Rong all saw their Cultivation Realms improve to some extent.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang and Yan Lingji did not advance in Cultivation Realm, their true qi cultivation rose considerably, and their physical strength was also enhanced.

Xiao Fan drank the fine wine Zhu Yuanzhang had gifted him while heartily devouring the delicious Bear Paw Huang Rong had cooked. Before long, he had finished it all.

After finishing the Bear Paw, Xiao Fan casually glanced at the Chat Group interface. Seeing no meaningful messages, he exited the Chat Group.

"Looks like it's getting late. Time to find somewhere to rest," Xiao Fan murmured as he looked up at the sky. Then, through their mental connection, he summoned Xiao Jin.

"Chirp!"

Before long, accompanied by a cheerful cry, Xiao Jin descended from the sky and landed beside Xiao Fan.

Xiao Jin was a special pet awarded by the system's sign-in. It could grow stronger along with Xiao Fan's cultivation, and it had now astonishingly reached the realm of a Sixth-Order High-Level Magical Beast. Its body had become even more majestic, while its feathers shone even more brilliantly.

Xiao Jin understood that its growth was all because of Xiao Fan. Upon reaching his side, it immediately extended a wing and gently leaned it against Xiao Fan's shoulder.

Xiao Fan was very satisfied with Xiao Jin's changes. "All right, let's go. Take me to a human settlement at the edge of the Monster Mountain Range. Tomorrow, we'll enter the Monster Mountain Range again."

Xiao Fan reached out and patted Xiao Jin's wing, giving it the command.

Hearing this, Xiao Jin let out a cry and slightly lowered its body for Xiao Fan to mount.

Xiao Fan shifted slightly and sat directly on Xiao Jin's back. "Fly a little slower. Don't overshoot it."

"Chirp!"

Xiao Jin nodded, let out another cry, and immediately carried Xiao Fan toward the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range.

More than ten li from the edge of the Monster Mountain Range.

A group of more than ten people huddled tightly together. Nearly all of them were wounded, looking thoroughly bedraggled.

Around them, a pack of vicious magical beasts had surrounded them, seemingly ready at any moment to rush forward and devour them for dinner.

In truth, the magical beasts had already launched several attacks. Both sides had left behind several corpses, and blood stained the ground red.

"Damn it! The Gale Wolves clearly don't live in this area. Why did they suddenly come after us?"

Among the group, a young man with a face smeared in blood swung his sword and drove back a magic wolf, unable to stop himself from cursing.

"No one knows what happened today, but the magical beasts on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range suddenly went into a frenzy. It's normal for these Gale Wolves to leave their territory. We need to find a way to break out quickly. Otherwise, once night falls, our situation will become even more dangerous!"

Hearing the young man's words, a rugged-looking middle-aged man beside him spoke with a grave expression.

These people came from a mercenary group called Blood Battle.

The pack surrounding the members of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group was none other than the pack-dwelling magical beasts of the Monster Mountain Range, the Gale Wolves!

The alpha wolf of this pack was already a second-order intermediate magical beast. There were also two second-order beginner magical beasts and nearly a hundred first-order magic wolves!

Within the Blood Battle Mercenary Group, aside from the middle-aged man—the group leader, Fei Lei—who possessed the cultivation of a Dou Shi, everyone else was merely a Dou Zhe. Facing this pack of Gale Wolves, defeat was almost certain!

However, wolf-type magical beasts were naturally cautious and cunning. Unwilling to suffer too many casualties, they had deliberately surrounded the group and waited for nightfall, when they could use the advantages of magical beasts to wipe them out completely!

"I'm sorry. If you hadn't escorted me out to gather medicinal herbs today, everyone wouldn't have fallen into danger."

At this moment, a young woman around seventeen or eighteen years old in a white dress spoke softly from the center of the group.

Though the woman could not be called breathtakingly beautiful, she was still a rare beauty. Her calm face carried a fresh, ethereal air.

What drew the most attention, however, was her slender waist, so delicate it seemed it could be held in one hand.

Hearing the woman's words, Fei Lei immediately said, "Xiao Yi Xian, saying that means you look down on our Blood Battle Mercenary Group! Since our Blood Battle Mercenary Group accepted the mission, we were already prepared to face any danger!"

Then the young man added, "The captain is right. Xiao Yi Xian, don't overthink it. No one could have known the magical beasts in the Monster Mountain Range would suddenly riot today."

"Chirp!"

Just then, a clear, piercing cry suddenly rang out in the sky.

Upon hearing it, the pack of Gale Wolves immediately began trembling and involuntarily fell to their knees!

Xiao Yi Xian and the members of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group also underwent a drastic change in expression, instinctively looking up toward the source of the sound.
