Shen Tao Dies

Bang--

The room door was pushed open, and a player rushed in.

"Young master, look at the current channel! A flying Magic Beast has invaded the settlement! We must run for our lives!"

"What? Flying Magic Beast? How could there be Magic Beast in this area?"

Shen Tao suddenly stood up from the sofa and hurriedly opened the game interface.

The current channel is filled with messages like "flying Magic Beast," "help," and "escape."

Shen Tao no longer cared about the mother and daughter; he immediately decided to quit the game.

That's Magic Beast! Is it even too late to run? The only way to escape is to quit the game before the Magic Beast arrive.

"You are currently in the Phantom Beast Pressure Domain, and cannot exit the game."

"You are currently in the Phantom Beast Pressure Domain, and cannot exit the game."

Shen Tao went mad. He ignored the system notification about the Phantom Beast Pressure Domain; all he knew was that if he didn't run, he would die.

"Walk."

As Shen Tao rushed out the door, a huge Purple Golden-Winged Bird stood before him, its sharp gaze falling upon her like two icy beams of ice.

"Ah!" A scream escaped her lips.

Shen Tao was terrified. Fear instantly gripped his body. He instinctively turned to run back to his room, but an invisible force prevented him from moving an inch.

"Help... help me... help me!"

No one appeared. Shen Tao slumped to the ground, a wave of despair washing over him.

Thump thump thump--

Two pairs of feet appeared in front of Shen Tao.

"There are others?"

Shen Tao's eyes suddenly lit up! A glimmer of hope welled up in her heart, and she abruptly raised her head.

Two men stood before him; one he had never seen before, and the other was...

Wind Snow Traveler!

What did he get here? And who is the man with him? Why didn't that Magic Beast attack them?

Could it be... that this Magic Beast won't attack humans?

Shen Tao never imagined that a player could control Magic Beast.

Upon seeing Xiao Fan and Wind Snow Traveler appear, he assumed that Magic Beast did not attack humans.

"Wind Snow Traveler, what are you doing here?"

Shen Tao felt a glimmer of hope and tentatively began to speak.

Where are they?

Wind Snow Traveler grabbed Shen Tao by the collar and lifted him off the ground. Although he wanted to kill this man right now, he was more interested in knowing the situation of his sister-in-law and niece.

Shen Tao glanced cautiously at Zijin behind the two of them, and seeing that she had no reaction at all, he thought to himself.

"It seems this Magic Beast doesn't kill, otherwise Wind Snow Traveler and this man would have been dead long ago."

Thinking this, Shen Tao gradually grew bolder. He was utterly absurd that a low-level player like Wind Snow Traveler would dare to attack him, a high-level player!

"Get the hell out of here..."

Shen Tao grabbed Wind Snow Traveler's arm, intending to twist it off.

Suddenly, a purple feather flew straight at him and severed both of his legs.

"Ah!"

A tremendous pain shot through him, and Shen Tao let out a scream, collapsing to the ground and rolling around.

"Tell me or die!" Xiao Fan said coldly.

Now Shen Tao understood perfectly well: it wasn't that the Magic Beast didn't attack people, it was that these two had brought the Magic Beast with them!

Shen Tao was shocked; there really were players who could control Magic Beast.

"They... they're in the room. I didn't even touch them. Please, have mercy on me."

Faced with this Magic Beast, Shen Tao had no chance to fight back and could only beg for mercy.

Hearing Shen Tao's words, Wind Snow Traveler finally felt a little relieved and hurriedly ran towards the room.

Only Zijin, Xiao Fan, and Shen Tao remained at the scene.

Shen Tao's eyes darted around. He knew a little about Wind Snow Traveler's strength and knew he couldn't possibly control such a powerful Magic Beast.

The man in front of you is the real player who controls this Magic Beast!

Although he didn't know how much Wind Snow Traveler had paid to get such a powerful expert to help him.

But he could give more! If he couldn't give more, there was still the Shen Sect behind him.

Thinking of this, Shen Tao forced a smile at Xiao Fan despite the pain.

"Sir, I am Shen Tao, the leader of the Shen Sect in the World's End Gathering Point. My father is the head of the Shen Family, one of the Four Great Families in the Dragon Nation. In the game, he is Shen Long, the Shen Sect leader of the Shen Clan, the second strongest expert in the Dragon Nation, and a master of Heaven-Tier Skill."

"So?" Xiao Fan asked expressionlessly.

"If you spare me, I can give you anything you want," Shen Tao said.

"Anything I want is fine?" Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow.

Seeing Xiao Fan's words, Shen Tao thought there was hope and immediately said excitedly, "Of course, whatever you want, our Shen Sect can give you!"

"Is that so?" Xiao Fan sneered, taking a step closer to Shen Tao: "What if I want your life?"

Shen Tao's face turned deathly pale instantly. "Sir, you and I have no grudge against each other. Killing me will only offend the Shen Sect. It would be better to use me to exchange for resources. Besides, I haven't even touched those two women. Is it necessary for you to be so ruthless?"

"No grudge, no enmity? Yet you want to exterminate them all?"

Xiao Fan sneered.

"Shen Tao? You dare to talk to me about those two words? Back then, my uncle only glanced at the spiritual herb you coveted, and you cut off his legs and threw him into the wilderness. Did you ever think that you had no grudge against him? Did you ever think of sparing his life?"

"You... you are..."

Shen Tao's body trembled even more violently.

He seemed to vaguely recall this incident: a lowly goldsmith had actually taken a liking to the spiritual herb he had his eye on.

Although it didn't ultimately have any impact on him, it affected his mood, so he cut off the man's legs and threw him into the wild to fend for himself.

Is this player in front of me, who can control World of Magic Beast, the nephew of that gold farmer?

How is that possible!

With such a talented nephew, why would he work as a goldsmith?

"Your Excellency, I didn't know he was your uncle. I can apologize, I can compensate you, I can give you a lot of resources. Please, let me go."

At this moment, Wind Snow Traveler came out of the house with his niece Xiao Yu and sister-in-law Gao Lian.

"Jiu Chen, thank you for today," Wind Snow Traveler said.

Fortunately, he used all his Core Power to buy equipment for his sister-in-law and niece. Fortunately, he met Xiao Fan today.

He has done right by his elder brother again!

"Jiu Chen! You are Jiu Chen!"

Shen Tao pointed at Xiao Fan in disbelief.

At this moment, all the questions were answered.

He knew most of the skilled players in the game, but none of them were as good as the player in front of him who could control Magic Beast.

It turns out he was Jiu Chen, who had just left the Novice Village.

Jiu Chen was able to achieve the first kill of Magic Beast because he himself possessed a powerful... Spirit Beast.

All things considered, when he made his move against that gold farmer, Jiu Chen had only been in the game for a short time.

Shen Tao knew he was truly finished this time.

Jiu Chen? What could he possibly offer to bribe him with?

"Wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

Zijin, carrying Xiao Fan, picked up Shen Tao from the ground with its sharp claws and flew away into the distance amidst Gao Lian and Xiao Yu's shocked gaze.

He said he was leaving Shen Tao to fend for himself, but Xiao Fan would never give him any chance of survival.

He watched Shen Tao's terrified and helpless expression, and only slowly left when the Fierce Beast arrived.

"Jiu Chen, you've made a fatal mistake."

High in the sky, Zijin suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan asked in confusion, "What mistake?"

"You humans can communicate through virtual panels. Although Shen Tao can't move, he can still send messages to expose your information."

This is something Zijin discovered through observation.

Xiao Fan was startled, suddenly realizing this.

He himself wasn't afraid of retaliation from the Shen Sect, but he had family behind him.

"Don't worry, I just mentally attacked him. When you threw him down, he was no longer able to communicate normally."

Hearing Zijin say this, Xiao Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Psychological attack?" Xiao Fan silently memorized it.

Learn from your mistakes; next time, try a mental attack skill.

"Zijin, thank you."
