Heaven, I'm on a Roll!

The temporary gathering place was already bustling with activity early the next morning.

After a night's rest, the players have all recovered.

Cooking, dismantling tents, packing luggage... the players gathered in twos and threes to discuss their next move.

Those players who were previously abducted by the Fairy Fish suffered greatly this time, enduring severe physical and psychological trauma that left them traumatized.

These people will definitely leave the Monster Region and return to the normal area, and will not enter the Monster Region for a long time.

Although the United Rescue Team didn't achieve the first kill of the level 300 Magic Beast and several members died, they did manage to achieve their initial goal—rescuing the players kidnapped by the Fairy Fish.

Although they are not theirs.

This morning, the United Rescue Team announced its disbandment, and various forces, large and small, are busy planning their next move.

Good morning, Great God Jiu Chen! You're awake so early?

A warm greeting rang out.

Instantly, everyone in the gathering turned around to see Xiao Fan walking out of his big house with his head held high and chest out, followed by the Bao Bao had transformed into human form.

In an instant, greetings and exclamations of praise came from all directions.

Jiu Chen morning, Your Excellency Jiuchen!

"Your Jiu Chen looks so handsome today..."

"I haven't seen you for just one night, and the Great God Jiu Chen looks even more powerful."

The players were able to survive this time thanks to Fairy Fish Fan.

Putting aside the fact that he saved their lives, they also need to be mindful of their attitude towards the two Magic Beasts that Xiao Fan contracted with.

This Jiu Chen is someone they can no longer afford to offend.

Despite the greetings from the crowd, Xiao Fan kept his head held high and never lowered it, his smugness impossible to conceal.

Ignoring the respectful, enthusiastic, and flattering greetings from the crowd, Xiao Fan waved to the Bao Bao behind him.

"Little Leopard, you know this Monster Region well, go out and find me some food."

Upon hearing this, before Bao Bao could even speak, a large group of people surged forward, each carrying various kinds of food.

"Your Jiu Chen Jiuchen, we have some food here, please have it first."

"Your Jiu Chen, please just tell us what you'd like to eat. We've brought plenty with us, so why would you need to send your Magic Beast out to find more?"

"Yes, Your Highness Jiu Chen, we wouldn't want to go hungry even if we didn't eat."

Faced with everyone's flattery and the food offered to him, a flash of disdain quickly crossed Xiao Fan's eyes.

"I don't like dry food and pre-cooked meals. You can take these back. I'll have Bao Bao go find me some fresh food."

As he spoke, Xiao Fan looked at the Bao Bao behind him.

"Hurry up and go!"

Bao Bao rolled its eyes inwardly, but still obediently headed quickly towards the forest.

The players who offered food noticed the disdain in Xiao Fan's tone and felt a pang of embarrassment.

Is Jiu Chen... really that arrogant? Isn't he a bit out of touch with the masses?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If they had his strength at Jiu Chen's age, they'd be floating around!

The group of players surrounding Xiao Fan could only leave awkwardly.

Not far away, Cannon and Shen Long exchanged a glance, their expressions unreadable.

That Jiu Chen! He's really gotten arrogant!

However, Shen Long had some doubts.

It's normal that the Cannon didn't know much about Xiao Fan since it was previously hosted on a White Nation server. But Shen Long had watched Xiao Fan grow up step by step.

Based on Xiao Fan's past actions, his character far surpasses that of his peers; he doesn't seem like the kind of person who is arrogant and gets carried away with a little success.

But what's the situation now?

Could it be that Jiu Chen's current appearance is an act?

So what was his purpose in doing this?

Shen Long racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution.

As for whether Xiao Fan had discovered his and Cannon's plan, Shen Long never doubted it!

His conversation with Cannon about the plan to frame Xiao Fan took place entirely within the game's chat interface.

As everyone knows, in <Cloud Sea>, each player can only see their own game interface.

Xiao Fan couldn't possibly have seen his and the Cannon's plan.

In the end, Shen Long concluded that Xiao Fan's previous temperament was built upon his growth period.

No matter how fast his strength increases, his level ultimately limits his power.

But things are different now. Jiu Chen has contracted a terrifying level 300 magical Magic Beast, and no player on the entire Blue Star Server can rival him.

In such an invincible situation, it's normal to get carried away.

"If it weren't for the Bai Family's medicine, I might really have no way to deal with Jiu Chen."

Shen Long thought to himself.

A level 300 Magic Beast is more than enough to protect Xiao Fan until he dies, unless he is too reckless and ventures into a higher-level Monster Region.

However, the Bai Family's potion can drive beasts mad. If they were to apply the potion to Xiao Fan, his Contract Beast would become his death warrant!

Shen Long was engrossed in his own world when he suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder.

He turned around, and there was Cannon, frowning at him.

"What's going on? I've been calling you for ages and you haven't responded." Cannon's tone was a mixture of dissatisfaction and doubt.

Shen Long shook his head. "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something."

"Jiu Chen's contracted Magic Beast has just left, now is our best chance to make a move," Cannon whispered as he leaned forward.

Xiao Fan asked Bao Bao to help him find food, which, in Cannon's eyes, was a golden opportunity!

Without that Magic Beast, they could get closer to Xiao Fan.

Upon hearing this, Shen Long turned around and saw Zhou He talking to Xiao Fan.

He frowned.

"Wait a little longer. With so many people watching Jiu Chen, it's not a good time for us to make a move."

The Cannon fired, feeling a little anxious.

Xiao Fan saved so many lives yesterday and also formed contracts with two Magic Beasts. He's currently riding high on his fame, and many people want to get on his good side.

Since Xiao Fan came out of the house, players have been constantly surrounding him, making it difficult for him to make a move.

Although Shen Long and his companion were anxious, they dared not act rashly.

"Brother Xiao, what are your plans later? Are you coming back with us?"

With the matter resolved, most players decided to return to the Common Zone to rest, except for a small number who decided to stay and continue exploring the Monster Region.

After a while, Zhou He planned to take his men back to Dragon City and ask Xiao Fan if he wanted to come along.

Xiao Fan shook his head. "Brother Zhou, I'll be staying in the Monster Region for another ten days or so; I have some things to take care of."

"All right."

Zhou He nodded. Xiao Fan had a contracted Magic Beast with him, so he wouldn't be in danger in the Monster Region. However, he still gave him a word of advice.

"Then be careful."

"Good."

Xiao Fan raised his head and replied.

Zhou He:...

He wondered if there was something wrong with Xiao Fan's neck; why was he holding it up all morning? Wasn't that tiring?

Zhou He was about to ask a question when the other person interrupted him first.

"The team is about to set off, I'm going to the pond to quickly wash my face."

Before Zhou He could respond, Xiao Fan had already turned and walked briskly toward the pool.

The sunlight was soft, and many players had already gathered at the pool to rest. Their figures were scattered about, and their noise, mixed with the gurgling water, drifted far away.

Xiao Fan glanced casually at the crowd around him, carefully observed for a moment, and finally chose a spot on the beach where the flow of people was moderate, neither too conspicuous nor too vulnerable to being alone, and slowly walked over.

The moment he stepped closer to the pool, two pairs of eyes that had been hidden for a long time suddenly tightened.

Cannon and Shen Long exchanged a quick glance, their eyes simultaneously flashing with an barely suppressed glint of light, almost scorching.

Jiu Chen actually went to the water's edge to wash up by himself?

They really are blessed by heaven!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

There were quite a few players on the other side of the pool, and people were constantly coming and going.

They could pretend to pass by behind Jiu Chen while he was washing his face and secretly sprinkle powder on him.

"Action! Act now!"

Shen Long didn't speak, but they both understood each other's meaning. They approached the pool one after the other.

Sensing the gaze behind him, Xiao Fan's lips curled into a faint smile. He walked at a moderate pace, making sure the person behind him could keep up.

"Your Jiu Chen Jiuchen, you're here to wash your face too?"

"Come to my place, it's comfortable to squat here."

As soon as Xiao Fan approached the pool, many players greeted him warmly.

"No need, I'll go wash over there. I don't like people staring at me."

Xiao Fan raised his head and said expressionlessly.

Damn! My neck feels a bit stiff!

Xiao Fan thought to himself, "This is ridiculous."

After hearing what he said, who among the other players dared to look at him? They all hurriedly lowered their heads to wash their faces, not daring to glance at Xiao Fan out of the corner of their eyes, for fear of displeasing him.

Shen Long and Cannon, who were watching this scene from a short distance away, looked at each other simultaneously.

Good heavens! My luck is amazing!

"Is Jiu Chen giving me an opportunity to frame him?"

Thinking about it this way, Shen Long paused for a moment.

Isn't everything going a little too smoothly?

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out why Xiao Fan did this.

"Maybe after having had so much bad luck, it's no wonder your luck is a bit better."

At this moment, Xiao Fan was already squatting beside the pool. His head, held high all morning, finally lowered as he prepared to wash his face.

"This is the moment; we can't delay any longer!"

Cannon gripped the bottle containing the medicine tightly and quickly walked towards Xiao Fan's location.

If they waited any longer, until Xiao Fan finished washing up, they might not have another chance like this.

Shen Long took a deep breath, gripped the other half of the potion in his hand, and walked towards Xiao Fan.

Cannon's hands were trembling with nervousness; he had even prepared an explanation for the plan's failure.

He claimed the powder was food he had brought and that it had accidentally spilled on Xiao Fan.

The medicine has no odor whatsoever to the human sense of smell, so who can tell if he's telling the truth?

With this in mind, Cannon felt much more at ease and quickened his pace.

Just as she was about to pass behind Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan suddenly lowered his head and began to wash his face.

The Cannon was overjoyed!

Good heavens! My luck is amazing!

He subtly opened the bottle cap, and just as he passed behind Xiao Fan, he poured the powder from the bottle onto the ground behind Xiao Fan's feet. Xiao Fan only had a tiny bit of powder on him.

Cannon was cautious. He knew that if he poured the powder on Xiao Fan's back, it would inevitably be discovered.

However, if they fall at his feet, Xiao Fan will definitely step on those potions when he leaves.

No matter how clever and cautious Xiao Fan is, he wouldn't be able to detect the contamination caused by the medicine.

After doing all this, Cannon quickly left behind Xiao Fan, found a spot near a pool of water not far away, squatted down, and pretended to wash up.

She glanced at Xiao Fan out of the corner of her eye and saw that he was still washing his face with water, completely unaware that someone had spilled something behind him.

Whew~

The Cannon's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

He buried the bottle in the ground and then began to wash his hands.

He didn't know if his hands had gotten powder on them.

It must be washed thoroughly! Otherwise, attracting Magic Beast will be troublesome.

At this time, Shen Long also finished sprinkling the powder and came over.

He handled the bottles of powder just like the Cannon, and then he started washing his hands.

Only when they saw Xiao Fan finish washing up and walk away with his head held high did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

"I guess we've succeeded?"

Cannon silencing.

Shen Long nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be... a success!"

At this moment, neither of them felt any sense of satisfaction at the prospect of revenge; instead, they were filled with admiration for their flawless poisoning that day.

"Alright, let's get out of here quickly, lest the potion on Xiao Fan attracts berserk Magic Beast and we get hurt."

Shen Long suggested.

Cannon originally wanted to watch Xiao Fan be torn to pieces by the Magic Beast, but when he thought of those terrifying Magic Beast, especially the berserk version, he was also a little scared.

"OK!"

The two quickly got up and walked towards the open space, stealing a glance at the spot where Xiao Fan had just washed up as they passed by.

Upon seeing the footprints on the white powder, the two exchanged a smile!

Good heavens! They're having such a lucky time!

Shen Long and Cannon returned to the open space where everyone was resting, one after the other. The two remained silent the entire time, not even exchanging a glance with each other. They didn't stop walking and hurriedly turned around and left the settlement.

Zhou He stood there, watching the two figures hurriedly disappear into the distance, his brows furrowing involuntarily, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

"What's wrong with those two? Why are they walking in such a hurry, like something's chasing them?"

Xiao Fan, standing to the side, raised his hand, his fingertips gently stroking his chin. His gaze swept casually in the direction where the two had disappeared, his tone nonchalant and languid.

Who can guess what they're up to? Maybe they just feel uncomfortable staying in this open space.

Zhou He thought about it and realized that Xiao Fan's words made sense.

Shen Long and they were already irreconcilable enemies. If they didn't have a common goal, they wouldn't have been able to stay together so peacefully for so long.

Now that the matter is resolved, it's understandable that Shen Linguo, seeing that Xiao Fan had contracted two Magic Beasts, was afraid of retaliation and was eager to leave.

Thinking this through, Zhou He stopped worrying and turned to look at Xiao Fan, noticing that he was gazing in the direction Shen Long and the other man had left, his expression somewhat...

Weird!

"Hey? Brother Xiao, is your neck better?"

"Neck?"

Xiao Fan subconsciously touched his neck.

"Yes, I noticed you had your neck stretched out all morning. Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Fan:...

That's arrogance, okay?
