Upon hearing this, Wei Qi was nearby, walked over and snatched the food from Tong Shuyao's hand.

" Wei Qi, what are you doing?!"

"What am I doing? That's what I should be asking you. You're eating Brother Fan's food, and not only do you not know how to be grateful, you're also speaking ill of Brother Fan."

"Am I wrong? Jiang Fan treats his own father and family like this, why can't I speak out?"

"You can say whatever you want, but why the hell should Brother Fan Ge share this food with you?"

"You—you—" Tong Shuyao trembled with rage, " Wei Qi, you're Jiang Fan's lackey!"

"Yes, I am. I'm happy, I'm willing, what are you going to do about it?" Wei Qi acted as if he were proudly Jiang Fan's lackey.

He was truly proud because he knew a secret others didn't: he knew Jiang Fan was Tang Fan, a 17-year-old archer! And a ruthless individual who dared to go to the Inner Wilderness Zone with Yang Xiaoqiang and the others, facing monsters and slaughtering them all!

Serving as a lackey for such a courageous and capable genius is an absolute source of pride and honor.

Tong Shuyao was furious at Wei Qi's arrogant attitude of being a lackey, but there was nothing she could do but endure it.

As time passed, the sky gradually turned a pale white.

Jiang Fan and Lan Shengxue, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground resting, opened their eyes at the same time.

It's time to take action.

Each carrying a weapon, the two left the shelter together.

Their steps were light and swift, moving like ghosts among the sleeping monsters.

In twenty minutes, they arrived at the villa where the Lan Family lived.

They didn't encounter anyone along the way, or rather, they didn't encounter any living people. They didn't know if they were hiding or if they were all dead.

After entering the villa, they found the place where the safe was located.

Lan Shengxue used facial recognition to unlock the safe, took out the device to restore communication, and put it into her spatial ring.

Everything was going smoothly, but just as they were about to leave, they heard a loud noise coming from under the floor.

"It sounds like it's coming from the basement. Could some survivors have hidden inside?" Lan Shengxue guessed.

"Not a survivor." Jiang Fan said with certainty.

In fact, even before entering the villa, Jiang Fan had already used his Psychic Power to scan the entire villa and its surroundings.

He immediately noticed Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito in the villa's basement, suggesting that these gregarious monsters had built their nest there.

Lan Shengxue looked at Jiang Fan with a puzzled expression, "How do you know that the people in the basement aren't survivors?"

Jiang Fan replied without changing his expression, "You forgot, I have a better intuition."

"Intuition?" Lan Shengxue frowned slightly. Although she had indeed witnessed Jiang Fan's amazing intuition in the Death Swamp of the Inner Wilderness Zone, a woman's sixth sense told her that things didn't seem to be that simple.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time, let's go."

When Jiang Fan said this, he was clearly in great pain, and the extent of his pain was not concealed; it was faintly visible on his face.

Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito! If he killed them all, how many points would he earn!

Unfortunately, he can't do that now. Firstly, because of Lan Shengxue beside him, she's not easily fooled like most people. If he goes on a killing spree here, it's very likely to arouse her suspicion.

Secondly, he feared that a large-scale massacre would lead to unnecessary unforeseen events.

Thirdly, the current situation is special, and he needs to conserve his strength. He cannot be greedy for points in the short term. Although the journey here was smooth, it does not mean that nothing will happen on the way back.

Jiang Fan looked up at the sky outside. When he came, the sky was just beginning to lighten, but now the sun was gradually rising, and those sleeping demonic beasts might not be sleeping so soundly anymore.

In addition, he also needed to rush to the cemetery to find the Crazy Old Man.

"Who are you looking for?" Lan Shengxue asked, puzzled.

You don't know him.

Jiang Fan didn't offer any further explanation and led the way towards the cemetery.

Along the way, they encountered several awakened demonic beasts, but fortunately they were all One Star demonic beasts, and Jiang Fan and Lan Shengxue quickly dealt with them.

"Two more monsters have arrived!"

Jiang Fan looked at the two One Star demonic beasts charging towards them, exchanged a glance with Lan Shengxue, and then each chose their opponent.

Jiang Fan drew his broadsword and killed the monster in a few strokes.

Lan Shengxue was also very fast, and just as she was about to kill the monster, Jiang Fan suddenly shouted.

Spare her!

Startled by this sudden shout, Lan Shengxue's attack was abruptly interrupted.

Before she could understand why Jiang Fan had suddenly stopped her, she saw Jiang Fan rush over at lightning speed, swinging his knife down fiercely on the monster's head.

[Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have successfully killed One Star monster. You have done a good deed. Your points have been increased by 50.]

It was a close call, a very close call!

Jiang Fan sighed inwardly. If he hadn't acted quickly, the monster would have been killed by Lan Shengxue, and he would have missed out on 50 points.

The more Lan Shengxue looked at Jiang Fan, the more confused she became. She felt that she couldn't figure him out at all and that there was something wrong with him.

Furthermore, the martial arts techniques that were very similar to those of their Lan Family were equally unfathomable to her.

Jiang Fan felt a chill run down his spine under Lan Shengxue's gaze, but he explained without batting an eye, "Don't laugh at me, I just really enjoy the feeling of reaping the lives of demonic beasts."

Upon hearing this, Lan Shengxue raised an eyebrow and said, "I really didn't know you had this kind of quirk."

Jiang Fan chuckled awkwardly, then composed himself and continued heading towards the cemetery.

We soon arrived at the cemetery management office. As soon as we opened the door, a pungent smell of alcohol hit us, making our noses and mouths feel extremely uncomfortable.

What's going on?

Jiang Fan scanned the management office but did not find any trace of the Crazy Old Man.

He saw the uneaten peanuts on the table, a chopstick that had fallen to the ground, and a large water vat that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Is the person you're looking for right here?" Lan Shengxue asked.

Jiang Fan nodded and then used his Psychic Power to scan the room.

The next second, his lips twitched, he resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and walked towards the large water vat.

Opening the lid of the water tank, the pungent smell of alcohol could suffocate a person.

Jiang Fan reached out and pulled the Crazy Old Man out.

No wonder there were no monsters nearby when I came over. There are no people living around the cemetery, and the only living Crazy Old Man, was soaking in a wine vat, which masked his scent and naturally wouldn't attract any monsters.

"Hey! Crazy Old Man! Wake up!" Jiang Fan shook the Crazy Old Man a few times, but the Crazy Old Man showed no sign of waking up.

" Crazy Old Man!"

They called out several more times, but the Crazy Old Man remained completely still, sleeping like a log.

So he raised his hand and slapped the Crazy Old Man on the forehead.
