Xiao Fan's Countermeasure

Not long after Shen Long and Cannon left, Bao Bao returned to the temporary gathering place at Xiao Fan's call.

"Master, boss, what exactly is that white powder? Why did the leopard become so agitated after I only smelled a little?"

"I can't breathe, "Bao Bao asked in a hoarse voice.

"A potion that can make Magic Beast go berserk."

Xiao Fan squinted as he answered.

Xiao Fan had always suspected that Shen Long and the man in black, Huo Cannon, in the large group had ill intentions.

After all, both of them had a grudge against him.

The key point is that, as a player from the White Nation, Cannon didn't team up with the white team, but instead disguised himself and mingled with Shen Long, which is clearly abnormal.

Given that both of them had a grudge against him, Xiao Fan instantly realized that these two were probably after him.

As for how he recognized the Cannon, Jian Qingfeng told him.

As a user of Heaven-Tier Skill, Jian Qingfeng had been studying the other three people to some extent.

He recognized the Cannon when it appeared in Cannon ranks, even though the other side was dressed very conservatively.

At the time, Jian Qingfeng didn't think much of it. The Cannon outfit wasn't unusual in the game; many players dressed like that to conceal their identities.

Later, when Cannon was always with Shen Long, he began to suspect something and told Zhou He and Xiao Fan about it, warning them to be careful of the two.

Knowing that there were two enemies in the group, Xiao Fan had been on guard against them ever since.

They walked for a long time, but the two of them didn't make a move.

They weren't in a hurry, but Xiao Fan himself was getting anxious.

Last night was their last chance to make a move. Xiao Fan guessed that if their target was him, they would have either taken action or discussed countermeasures last night.

With this doubt in mind, Xiao Fan immediately instructed Zijin to sneak into the two's tent under the cover of night to investigate.

As night fell, Zijin quietly returned, bringing back two sealed small bottles.

The bottle contained a fine white powder, which looked no different from ordinary medicinal powder.

Xiao Fan picked up the bottle with great care, slowly unscrewing the cap and bringing it close to his nose to sniff it carefully.

After several attempts, I couldn't detect any scent at all; the powder was bland and unremarkable, showing no unusual characteristics.

Just then, the Bao Bao, unable to contain its curiosity, stepped closer and took a deep sniff of the bottle opening.

In a short moment, a sudden change occurred! Bao Bao's eyes quickly turned crimson, a low growl rose from its throat, and its body became restless, completely engulfed in a berserk state.

As time passed, the ferocity intensified, Bao Bao paced restlessly in place, threatening to go out of control and injure someone at any moment.

Xiao Fan was startled. With a thought, he put the Bao Bao into his Contract Space.

After being isolated from the smell of the medicinal powder, Bao Bao's agitated emotions gradually calmed down.

Witnessing this thrilling scene, Xiao Fan and Zijin exchanged a glance and immediately realized that there was definitely something wrong with this inconspicuous white potion.

Xiao Fan frowned; he suddenly remembered something.

Before he set off for the Monster Region, his cousin's classmate, Wang Pengfei, had privately confessed something to him.

Someone gave him a bottle of strange medicine and instructed him to find an opportunity to sprinkle the powder on his younger cousin and sister.

Looking down at the two medicine bottles in his hand, and recalling the way Bao Bao had just lost control and gone berserk, a clue connected in Xiao Fan's mind, and he vaguely guessed the true purpose of the medicine.

"The Bai Family... have they gotten involved too?"

Xiao Fan's brows furrowed, and his expression instantly turned cold.

Whenever special medicines are involved, his first suspect is the Bai Family.

Looking across the entire Dragon Nation, the only family that harbors deep resentment towards him and is also dedicated to researching special potions for the game is the Bai Family.

Since the Dragon Nation officially began selling Healing Potion in large quantities, the Bai Family's Healing Potion suffered a huge blow and were unable to compete head-on. After that, they shifted their focus to developing in the City of Kings.

After sorting through my thoughts layer by layer, all the doubts suddenly became clear.

Xiao Fan suddenly realized where Shen Long and Cannon got the potions.

If his guess is correct, this white potion has little effect on humans, but when sprinkled on a person, it can make Fierce Beast and Magic Beast go berserk, causing them to attack the human who has the potion on them.

Using potions to attack players with the help of Magic Beast allows one to get revenge without revealing their identity.

"The Bai Family really has some tricks up their sleeves!"

Anger flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes.

Even a level 300 Magic Beast Bao Bao, which had undergone bloodline purification, could be affected by the Bai Family's potion.

It's clear what kind of beings this potion will attract when it's sprinkled on a player!

"Zijin, are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Fan asked, looking at Zijin beside him.

Zijin first sniffed the air, then brought it close to the bottle opening and smelled it carefully. Finally, it dipped its wing into the powder, put it in its mouth, and smacked it twice before drawing its conclusion.

"It's alright, it doesn't have a big impact."

Xiao Fan:...

No, it has a huge impact!

After learning the purpose of the powdered medicine, Xiao Fan had a plan in mind.

He poured all the powder out of the two bottles, then filled them with some other white powder, and had Zijin put the two bottles back in their original positions.

He kept some of the real potions sealed in his Space Ring, and had Zijin sprinkle the rest on places where Shen Long and the other person couldn't see them.

Just in case, Zijin didn't sprinkle it on the two of them until almost dawn before returning.

They sent Bao Bao away for two reasons: first, to prevent it from being affected by the drug, and second, to create an opportunity for the two Cannons.

He then used the excuse of washing up to give the two of them a chance to sprinkle powder.

In fact, everything went as he expected.

Watching Shen Long and his companion hastily depart, Xiao Fan finally felt relieved.

The reason he went to such lengths to have the two of them sprinkle powder was to get them to leave quickly, otherwise the potion on their bodies would attract Magic Beast, and Xiao Fan might have to intervene.

"I must say, this potion is truly amazing; it eliminates opponents without requiring any action."

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I wonder how many Magic Beast Shen Long and the others will attract with their potions. Good luck to them."
