It Recognized Me as Master Out of Gratitude

The group began to head towards the area where the Fairy Fish were located. Shen Long and Cannon, for the sake of the subsequent plans, also gritted their teeth and followed the group.

Jian Qingfeng remained silent throughout the journey.

In that battle just now, he thought he had ushered in the highlight of his gaming career, a final performance that would end without regrets.

He was prepared to fight to the death and die a heroic death, and he accepted the worst possible outcome with equanimity, his heart filled with the tragic grandeur of risking his life.

But who would have thought that it would turn out to be a complete farce?

Thinking of this, Jian Qingfeng felt increasingly frustrated and helpless. He turned his head slightly, his gaze filled with a hint of resentment and awkwardness, as he looked at Xiao Fan beside him.

Xiao Fan arrived riding a high-level Magic Beast without informing them beforehand. This caused them to waste all the heroic sentiments they had been building up, and they even lost the equipment and weapon that had been with them for several years.

Xiao Fan keenly sensed the resentful gaze coming from his side. He immediately paused, slowly turned around, and apologized with a hint of regret in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Senior Sword. I rushed here in such a hurry that I forgot to inform you beforehand. I didn't expect that Bao Bao would accidentally damage your sword. It was my oversight. Would you like me to replace your weapon?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's sincere apology, Jian Qingfeng quickly concealed the resentment and regret in his eyes, waved his hand nonchalantly, and acted as if he didn't care at all.

"It's nothing, just a weapon, a mere trifle, not worth mentioning." He paused slightly, then changed the subject, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes as he looked at the Bao Bao behind him and asked:

"Jiu Chen, your Magic Beast must be a high-level Magic Beast. Its defense is terrifying. I attacked with all my might, and I couldn't even break through its defense."

Upon hearing this, everyone else also looked at Xiao Fan, curious about what level of Magic Beast it was that was so powerful.

Facing the intense gazes of the crowd, Xiao Fan remained calm and made no attempt to hide anything.

"That's right, Bao Bao is a level 300 Magic Beast. It was Neutral Magic Beast in the transition zone before. By chance, I saved its life, and it was grateful for this favor that made it willing to acknowledge me as its master and stay by my side."

Xiao Fan was astute and deliberately concealed the truth that Bao Bao had been forced to submit out of fear of Zijin's absolute power. He only chose the reason of gratitude, thus preserving Bao Bao's face and avoiding unnecessary trouble.

"Level 300 Magic Beast."

Everyone present was deeply shocked.

Although he had a hunch in his heart, he vaguely guessed from the powerful aura surrounding the Bao Bao and its abnormal defense that it was of a high level.

However, when this conjecture was confirmed by Xiao Fan, the fact that it was a genuine level 300 high-level Magic Beast still shocked everyone.

At this stage, the only level 300 Magic Beast they have ever seen is the Seven-Colored Deer.

The Seven-Colored Deer appears to be a Neutral Magic Beast, never displaying its terrifying aura or strength as a high-level Magic Beast in front of players. This is one of the reasons why the United Rescue Team dared to seek out the Fairy Fish to rescue people.

If the members of the United Rescue Team had witnessed the Bao Bao's terrifying strength before, they would never have considered hunting a level 300 Fairy Fish.

For a moment, the entire venue fell silent. Then, envious and admiring gazes fell upon Xiao Fan.

Everyone was filled with admiration.

"The luck of the Great God Jiu Chen is simply too incredible."

With a high-level Magic Beast as a mount, he would not only be invincible among players, but would be able to roam freely throughout the entire low-level Monster Region.

"It seems Brother Xiao is quite lucky; he even managed to rescue a Magic Beast while venturing into the Monster Region."

Even Zhou He, who is usually calm and reserved and has seen many storms, couldn't help but show his emotions and sigh with heartfelt emotion.

"Hehe, you're quite lucky."

Xiao Fan could only offer a perfunctory reply.

At that moment, Bao Bao, who was following behind the crowd, twitched its ears and heard everyone's conversation clearly.

A lingering resentment remained in its heart. The experience of being overwhelmed by the overwhelming Zijin pressure and forced to submit made its proud Magic Beast dignity feel somewhat awkward.

But to its utter surprise, Xiao Fan did not use its past of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and being forced to submit, to demonstrate his own strength.

Instead, it was portrayed as a grateful and loyal Magic Beast.

In an instant, all the resentment and awkwardness that had been lingering in my heart vanished.

Xiao Fan is indeed a good owner; he not only treats it sincerely but also protects its reputation in front of others.

This master is someone I can get along with.

Bao Bao nodded inwardly. At this moment, it completely accepted Xiao Fan as its master from the bottom of its heart.
