Shocked, I suddenly realized what was happening.
The group exchanged glances, and finally, Bu Yingjun quickly stepped forward.
" Tang Fan, I have a question for you."
Jiang Fan looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"What's up?"
"Are you a direct descendant of some powerful family?"
Why are you suddenly asking that?
Just then, Wei Cangyue interrupted.
"Don't ask random questions. You should know that members of prominent families don't reveal their identities to outsiders."
Wei Cangyue wasn't stupid; how could he not realize that Bu Yingjun suspected Jiang Fan?
After all this time, they haven't encountered a single low-level demonic beast. Even with the best of luck, there's no way they could have gotten away with it.
No way! This is a paradise for monsters, the Outer Wilderness Zone is teeming with them. How could we possibly have walked this far and still not seen a single monster?
Therefore, there are only two possibilities.
First, there is the Spirit Master; second, there are the ritual implements.
Since they were speculating about magical artifacts, he was naturally happy to guide their thinking in that direction.
Anyway, he didn't explicitly say that Jiang Fan was a direct descendant of a powerful family. Once Jiang Fan's identity as Spirit Master is revealed in the future, he can confidently say to his teammates that he didn't lie.
Just as Wei Cangyue had predicted, his teammates all wore expressions of "I knew it" upon hearing his words.
He then burst into laughter, unable to stop.
Although this kind of exploratory artifact has great limitations compared to orthodox Spirit Master, and its accuracy is also somewhat biased, it is still very likely to eliminate dangers for them, and relatively speaking, it can also roughly screen out suitable targets for them.
Just as they were all excitedly looking at Jiang Fan, Jiang Fan, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and his expression became slightly serious.
"A Four Star monster is coming."
"What distance?" Wei Cangyue asked, taking a few steps forward and standing to the side and slightly in front of Jiang Fan Jiang Fan, so as to protect him.
"One thousand five hundred and thirty meters," Jiang Fan replied.
Upon hearing this, Bu Yingjun and the other two were simultaneously taken aback, wondering if the magical artifact Jiang Fan carried was incredibly powerful, capable of sensing even the most powerful demonic beasts, down to the very smallest star level!
They didn't see Jiang Fan take out anything resembling a magical artifact, or perhaps he hid it very well, not wanting them to discover it.
They believed they must have the truth. After all, it was such an extraordinary treasure. How could Jiang Fan, with whom they were working for the first time and not familiar with each other, easily produce such a treasure?
Jiang Fan: "They're moving very fast. They're only 700 meters, 650 meters, 600..."
Wei Cangyue asked, "What kind of monster?"
" Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf ".
Bu Yingjun couldn't help but ask Jiang Fan, "Are you sure it's Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf?"
"Mm." Jiang Fan nodded.
"Only one?" Bu Yingjun asked again.
Jiang Fan nodded again.
"Phew—" Bu Yingjun breathed a sigh of relief.
"One is still quite easy."
Shen Xu Yi Tang both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Normally, Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf appear in packs. Luckily, there was only one."
"Yes, thankfully there's only one, but even with just one, we can't be careless. This beast's blue scales are incredibly resilient, and it can also release lightning through its scales. Although the lightning isn't very powerful, with our current strength, anyone who comes into contact with it will be paralyzed for quite some time."
Jiang Fan had read about what they were saying in books before.
" Tang Fan, move to the very back."
"Um."
Jiang Fan responded and stepped back.
The other three dispersed in different directions, and once the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf rushed in, they surrounded it to prevent it from escaping.
"They're here!"
As soon as Jiang Fan finished speaking, a demonic beast with blue scales suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
"Don't move, I'll handle this!"
After saying this, Wei Cangyue stomped his foot on the ground, creating a deep crater, and the next second he shot out like an arrow toward the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf.
When they were less than two steps apart, he raised his broadsword, leaped up, and slashed down vertically.
The Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf's scales immediately exploded, and countless blue rays of light instantly wove into an electric net, forming a defense while also attacking.
Who knew that Wei Cangyue's vertical slash was just a feint. When it was halfway down, it suddenly fell to the ground and slashed horizontally at the four legs of the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf.
"Laugh--"
A spray of blood mist erupted, and the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf collapsed.
Jiang Fan, who was originally prepared to provide assistance, was stunned by this scene, his eyes widening and his heart pounding wildly.
To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen Wei Cangyue make a move. Although he knew Wei Cangyue was powerful, he never expected him to be this powerful.
It's important to understand that Martial Artist and demonic beasts of the same level are not the same thing at all.
Even Martial Artist would not choose to fight a demon beast one level lower than them in a one-on-one battle.
Let alone fighting alone, even in team operations, one must be careful and cautious.
Not to mention that the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf is no ordinary demonic beast; among demonic beasts of the same rank, its combat power is among the top.
Wei Cangyue defeated the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf, which was a level lower, with a single strike.
" Instructor Wei, you're amazing!" Jiang Fan stepped forward, a hint of surprise still in his eyes.
"Nonsense." It was Bu Yingjun who said this. "Our Captain Wei are naturally talented. It's no exaggeration to say that even our former Captain Wang was slightly inferior in talent. It's just a pity that he has devoted too much time and energy to the team over the years and has not been able to focus on breaking through. Otherwise, he would have been Sixth Rank Martial Artist long ago, and might even have had a chance to reach the Seventh Rank."
"It's not just a possibility, it's a certainty!" Shen Xu said firmly.
Jiang Fan's surprise deepened as he looked Wei Cangyue up and down.
Noticing Jiang Fan's gaze, Wei Cangyue suddenly grinned and slung the knife over his shoulder.
"How about that? Aren't I awesome, my instructor? Aren't you impressed?"
Seeing the other person suddenly become so arrogant, Jiang Fan didn't know how to react.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. Give this beast the final blow," Wei Cangyue said.
Jiang Fan's eyes suddenly lit up as he recalled the first time he met Wei Cangyue in the Mercenary Guild Hall.
At that time, in order to recruit him, Wei Cangyue promised him that he would leave the dying monster for him to kill.
In fact, with his current strength, he could easily kill a Four Star demon beast, but he would be happy to finish off a demon beast that was almost powerless to fight back without exerting any effort himself.
"Then I won't be polite?"
Jiang Fan laughed excitedly, drawing his broadsword at the same time. To date, he had never killed Four Star demon beast.
I wonder how many points I can earn by killing a Four Star monster.
" The Captain Wei? What's this?" The other teammates gathered around Wei Cangyue, completely bewildered.
"You wouldn't believe it, Tang Fan has a rather unusual hobby: he loves killing demonic beasts, and the more he kills, the more excited he gets," Wei Cangyue explained.
Looking at Jiang Fan's face, which was almost distorted with excitement, Bu Yingjun and the other two had no doubt about Wei Cangyue's words.
"No, Captain Wei, Tang Fan is only a Early-Stage Third Rank Martial Artist, while the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf is at least Four Star Four Star, and a thick-skinned one at that. Are you sure he can finish off the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf?"
