"But don't worry, with our capabilities, we won't go too far to the center. Let alone the center, we won't even go too deep."

Jiang Fan had read about what Wei Cangyue said in a book.

The layout of the Outer Wilderness Zone is similar to that of their Great Xia, with the monsters arranged radially from the strongest to the weakest, centered on the outermost core.

Generally speaking, high-level monsters are unlikely to venture to the outer perimeter, while low-level monsters dare not cross the line.

They have an extremely strict hierarchical system.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances.

There are general exceptions, such as when something urgent and life-threatening happens, or when a beast tide breaks out.

The former occurs more frequently each year, but it is still an isolated case.

The latter, however, is rarely seen.

Almost everyone who saw it was dead, such as Wang Feng, the former captain of the Sharp Edge Squad, and some of his teammates.

"Where do we enter?"

Wei Cangyue's words instantly Bu Yingjun and the other two, who were somewhat doubting their ears and eyes.

It was quite obvious that Wei Cangyue was referring to Jiang Fan when he said that.

What's going on?

Why would the Captain Wei ask a newcomer such a question? He's a newcomer, he's never been to the Outer Wilderness Zone before.

Choosing which route to take might seem random, but it's actually a crucial decision.

Choosing the wrong path could lead to a disastrous start, or worse, a series of mistakes that could ultimately result in the annihilation of the entire team.

Therefore, they usually follow routes that have been explored before, and those explored routes are relatively safe.

Just as they were thinking this, they saw Jiang Fan point in a certain direction.

"This way."

After pointing, he lifted his foot and started walking forward.

Wei Cangyue followed closely behind.

" Captain Wei!" Bu Yingjun couldn't help but shout.

How could you make such a hasty decision?

"Yes," Shen Xu added, "Although I don't know why you had Tang Fan lead the way, I think for safety's sake, let's stick to the route we've taken before."

Wei Cangyue replied, "Didn't we already take that route in the last half month? Along the way, we either encountered monsters we couldn't handle, or they were too low-level. Normally, we could have taken them down, but we only have half a month left before the assessment results are due. We don't have time to waste on those low-level monsters."

The meaning is clear: their target is Four Star monster, and they also have a chance to kill Five Star.

Even if he can't be killed, with Wei Cangyue's skills, he can still lead his teammates to safety.

Wei Cangyue's words shocked Bu Yingjun and the other two even more.

" Captain Wei, you mean Tang Fan can lead us to the exact location of Four Star demonic beast?! How is that possible? He's not Spirit Master, how could he possibly do that?"

Even if you beat them to death, they would never believe that Tang Fan, a newcomer, could do it.

Wei Cangyue really wanted to tell his teammates that Jiang Fan was Spirit Master, but in the end he didn't say it.

It wasn't that they didn't trust their teammates, but rather that they wanted to protect Jiang Fan. The fewer people who knew he was Spirit Master, the less danger he would face.

"To be honest, he has a good intuition and luck in this area."

"This... this is too childish!"

The three expressed their inability to accept this.

"You don't believe him, but you don't believe me? When have I ever harmed you?"

Since Wei Cangyue had already said so much, even if the three of them were feeling uneasy, they couldn't say anything more.

Seeing that the three had finally acquiesced to this fact, Wei Cangyue turned to look at Jiang Fan.

"Lead the way."

"Um."

Jiang Fan nodded and continued walking into the Outer Wilderness Zone.

He knew very well that the main objective this time was to kill Four Star monster, preferably a lone Four Star monster.

Within the range of his Psychic Power, he saw numerous One Star, Two Star, and Three Star demonic beasts.

Seeing these demonic beasts, he finally couldn't resist secretly releasing his Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines, reaping one demonic beast after another as he walked.

[Ding! Congratulations, Master...]

The system notification sounds were like fireworks on New Year's Eve, ringing incessantly, and Jiang Fan himself felt a sense of happiness that the New Year was approaching.

As his points skyrocketed, he finally couldn't suppress a smile.

Since he was walking at the front and no one could see him, he didn't suppress his laughter and just laughed.

In no time at all, I earned 10,000 points.

Keep up the good work, and in no time at all, you've reached 20,000 points.

21000, 22000, 23000, 24000...

Of course, Jiang Fan wasn't just focused on killing monsters to earn points, but also deliberately avoided looking for Four Star monsters.

However, the outermost layer only contains low-level monsters such as One Star, Two Star, Three Star. To find Four Star monsters, one must go deeper inside.

In any case, Jiang Fan has not yet found a target within the range that his Psychic Power can currently cover.

While Jiang Fan was having a good time killing, Bu Yingjun and the other two would occasionally exchange glances.

The three of them read the same thoughts in each other's eyes, and then began to whisper among themselves.

"That's strange. We've been walking for quite a while now, and we haven't seen a single low-level demonic beast. Could it really be Tang Fan's skill?"

"It's probably just luck, right? To be honest, although I trust the Captain Wei, I still don't believe Tang Fan really has that ability. Unless he's Spirit Master, but how is that possible? Spirit Master is a national treasure; only a madman would come to a team like ours that's about to disband. Take Ye Qizhen for example; she just awakened her Psychic Power and was immediately recruited by our Divine Wind Camp commander, who personally mentors her."

"Of course it can't be Spirit Master, what are you thinking?"

After a while, they still hadn't encountered a single low-level demonic beast, which made them increasingly uneasy.

So they started whispering among themselves again.

"Several hours have passed. Even when we took the safe route, we would have encountered at least dozens of low-level demonic beasts. Could it be that Tang Fan really has good intuition and luck in this area?"

"His intuition and luck are terrible. In my opinion, Tang Fan must have some kind of magical artifact that can ward off low-level demonic beasts."

"That makes sense! Besides Spirit Master, only magical artifacts can serve this purpose. However, magical artifacts are not something ordinary people can obtain, let alone one that can be used to Outer Wilderness Zone! That's extremely rare! Even when our team was promoted to a second-class team, we weren't qualified to receive such a magical artifact. Not to mention second-class teams, even among first-class teams, only two teams possessed one. One team received it as a reward for their immortal achievements, and the other was provided by the powerful family to which their team leader belonged."

"Wait! A powerful family!" The three exclaimed in unison, then looked at Jiang Fan.
