Jiang Fan was speechless again.
Regardless, Jiang Fan's teammates no longer doubted his identity.
Just as Jiang Fan had expected, his teammates truly no longer had any doubts.
This is not only because of what Wei Cangyue just said, but also because of his previous performance. He was so calm and composed when he encountered the demonic beasts, which clearly shows that he had fought with demonic beasts many times before.
Jiang Fan, a freshman, had no experience in this area.
Moreover, in their view, Jiang Fan also possessed a magical artifact capable of exploring the Outer Wilderness Zone.
As everyone knows, Jiang Fan comes from the slums of Fortress No. 31, so it's impossible for him to have obtained any magical artifacts, let alone such a rare treasure that can be used to explore the Outer Wilderness Zone.
Seeing that his teammates completely believed his lie, Wei Cangyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. He pointed to the three Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf he had previously taken down and said to Jiang Fan:
"Those three beasts were barely clinging to life. I specially saved them for you. How about that? Touched?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow slightly.
I knew Wei Cangyue was a man of his word, but I never expected him to be so true to his word.
In that situation, they didn't kill him; they even deliberately spared his life.
To be fair, Wei Cangyue is a really good person.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Jiang Fan grinned like a wolf in sheep's clothing, walked up to the three Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf that were barely breathing, raised his knife, and killed them one by one.
I easily earned 200 x 3 points.
At this moment, the points in his system panel have once again reached a considerable level.
Of course, now is not the time to redeem points.
Don't rush, save up more, and then allocate it in the most reasonable way when the time is right.
"Everyone, stop standing there and get to the crystal cores!" Wei Cangyue said.
Jiang Fan had never seen a crystal core before; he only knew that demonic beasts could condense crystal cores once they reached the Four Star.
Furthermore, even among monsters of the same species, the location of their crystal cores may differ.
Therefore, most of the time, it is necessary to dissect the entire monster in order to find the crystal core.
Crystal cores aren't very hard; if you chop them randomly, they're likely to break.
Once broken, the energy contained within will be lost and dissipated.
Therefore, you need to carefully dig it out little by little with a dagger.
Just as his teammates were crouching on the ground, digging carefully, Jiang Fan raised his broadsword and slashed down with great force.
This scene was witnessed by his teammates, who were so shocked that they immediately shouted out.
"Don't--"
Before the words were even finished, a crystal core the size of a marble rolled out of the corpse of the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf.
"Holy crap! Tang Fan, your luck is just too good. But you can't do that again next time."
"Yes, the crystal core isn't as hard as you think. Digging into this thing requires extreme care. Once it breaks, even just a tiny crack, the energy inside will leak out. Even if you're a newbie, you should know that."
In their view, these were common sense; even if Jiang Fan was weak and inexperienced, he should know them.
Since you knew the truth and still did it, you probably just forgot for a moment.
That's what they thought, but Jiang Fan said:
"It's alright, I have a talent for this."
The reason he didn't say he was just lucky was to prepare in advance for easily digging out the crystal core later.
After all, he had no intention of pretending to be a weakling and dissecting the monster's corpse piece by piece. If he said it was a coincidence once, could he really explain it that way twice, three times, and multiple times?
However, to them, these words sounded like Jiang Fan was just bragging.
"Hey, I never expected you, a seemingly honest guy, to be such a braggart. Talent? I've been in the Outer Wilderness Zone for so long, and I've never heard of anyone with such talent."
Jiang Fan didn't offer much explanation in response to the crowd's questions. Instead, he walked up to the corpse of the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf in front of Bu Yingjun and swiftly brought it down with his knife.
With one slash, "thud—"
The crystal nucleus rolled out from the broken opening.
Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Before they could finish their shock, Jiang Fan had already walked up to the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf in front of Yi Tang and, without any hesitation, brought his blade down.
To their astonishment, another round crystal core fell out.
Jiang Fan continued his operation, extracting the crystal cores of the remaining two demonic beasts in the same manner.
After doing all this, he turned to the three dumbfounded people and said calmly, "Now you believe me, I do have a talent for this."
Bu Yingjun and the other two not only had their eyes popping out of their sockets, but their jaws were also about to drop.
After finally recovering, they all gave Wei Cangyue six thumbs up.
That Captain Wei is fucking awesome!
Their captain managed to recruit such exceptional talent, which saved them a lot of time and risk.
Why talk about risk?
The smell of blood will attract the attention of other monsters, especially social monsters like the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf. Once it dies, the smell of blood it emits is very likely to attract its companions.
If a group of them came and they were still searching for crystal cores in the same spot, should they run or not?
Thinking of this, the three of them looked at Jiang Fan with intense fervor.
Jiang Fan got goosebumps all over his body the moment he saw it.
"Hahaha! Tang Fan, you really are an absolute gem!"
Bu Yingjun spoke, he rubbed his hands together, clearly very excited.
However, Jiang Fan's lips twitched upon seeing this.
I wondered if this guy had some kind of unusual fetish?
Although the other two did not act as sleazy as Bu Yingjun, their four eyes were all gleaming as they constantly scanned Jiang Fan.
At that moment, Jiang Fan felt an urge to punch someone.
suddenly!
A muffled, thunderous sound of the earth shaking came from afar, growing louder as it approached.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.
As soon as I looked over, I saw a large group of Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf with fierce eyes charging straight at me.
not good!
Jiang Fan inwardly sighed. He had been "teased" by Bu Yingjun and the other two, and in a moment of carelessness, he hadn't even noticed the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf getting close.
"Run!"
Everyone took off running.
His teammates escaped quickly, and Jiang Fan took the lead, instantly rushing to the front.
"Holy crap! Is this still Early-Stage Third Rank? He's even faster than us!"
The teammates realized that no matter how fast they sped up, they couldn't catch up with Jiang Fan, who was running in the lead.
Wait, something's not right!
It's one thing if they can't outrun them, but their captain is High-Stage Fifth Rank Martial Artist, how could he possibly be outrun?
But where is the captain?
etc!
Where's the captain?!
