"Let's go. Let's head back." Luo Fan beckoned, and the Nightmare Nekomata landed right in his palm. He gently stroked the Nekomata's head a few times and spoke dotingly.
There was no helping it. The Nekomata was his battle pet now, his support in combat. Of course he had to pamper the little creature.
Most importantly, the Nekomata had become his battle pet not long after hatching. That left Luo Fan feeling guilty, rather like he was employing child labor.
By the time they returned to the convoy, dinner was ready. As before, it was a lavish spread of meat and vegetables.
As a patient, Jiang Shengnan naturally ate with Luo Fan too.
"Shengnan, you're a third-tier sequence user. What exactly did you run into to get hurt this badly?" Luo Fan asked Jiang Shengnan over dinner.
Indeed, aside from Jiang Shengnan, the strongest sequence user he had met was probably Cheng Hu of the Supreme Convoy, one of the best in the second tier.
The power he had displayed when his body grew enormous back then had made him seem like a giant.
As a third-tier sequence user, Jiang Shengnan should naturally have been even stronger than Cheng Hu. Yet she had been gravely wounded and on the verge of death?
Luo Fan found that very surprising. What sort of being could injure a third-tier sequence user so badly?
"It wasn't that I ran into some powerful Weird. More precisely, I went hunting a third-tier Weird."
"To raise my sequence level to the third tier, I needed to kill a third-tier Weird on my own."
"As you saw, I succeeded, but the consequences were severe. I even lost my mount."
Faced with Luo Fan's questions, Jiang Shengnan shook her head somewhat helplessly, but made no attempt to hide anything.
