"If it were a one-on-one fight, it shouldn't be a problem, but don't forget, there are another ten Third Molt Ruins Species. Moreover, I feel that the strength of these ten Ruins Species is far superior to the Third Molt Ruins Species we killed before. Lan Shengxue and the others might not be able to handle them. Not to mention the siege of seven or eight thousand Ruins Species."
After listening, Ye Qizhen nodded thoughtfully.
There's another very important point that Jiang Fan didn't mention, but there's no need to. Anyone with a modicum of common sense can figure it out.
To catch the thief, first catch the king. Faced with such a huge tribe, let alone whether Lan Shengxue and the others can deal with the remaining Ruins Species, they probably won't even see the two leaders for a while.
In this situation, the best course of action is to kill the leader first, thereby disrupting the morale of the army.
But that's the problem: how can you kill the enemy leader if you can't even see him?
We can't just force our way in, can we?
"Then shall we take a detour? And not go any further in?" Ye Qizhen asked.
Give up?
Just watch so many points slip away?
The more Jiang Fan thought about it, the more painful it became, but they simply couldn't handle it with their strength.
Unless he reveals himself to be Spirit Master, but is it really necessary for him to reveal himself for the sake of a few thousand Ruins Species?
Just as Jiang Fan was struggling with his decision, Ye Qizhen's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Are the two Ruins Species leading them male or female?"
"It should be a husband and wife, why are you suddenly asking this?" Jiang Fan asked, puzzled.
"A married couple... that's not easy to handle." Ye Qizhen hesitated for two seconds, then asked, "Are there any females among the remaining ten Third Molt Ruins Species?"
Jiang Fan looked at Ye Qizhen with a strange expression, wondering what she was up to, but answered truthfully, "All seven are female Ruins Species."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qizhen slapped her thigh.
"Haha! So many! That's enough!"
"What exactly is the plan? Stop talking nonsense and just tell me!"
"Hehehe--" Ye Qizhen raised her eyebrows, her expression slightly lewd, "Do you still remember Ruins Species were so fond of you before?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan rolled his eyes dramatically.
But she didn't interrupt him; instead, she listened intently.
"And it's not just those few three-transformation female Ruins Species; the female Ruins Species we encountered later all seemed to have feelings for you. So I discovered something: they all seem to be very attracted to looks. Since that's the case, you might as well sacrifice yourself and pretend to be captured by them. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll definitely be offered up to those three-transformation female Ruins Species, and then you'll have a chance to get close to those two husband-and-wife leaders."
"No!" Lan Shengxue suddenly interjected.
Ye Qizhen pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "Jiang Fan hasn't even said anything yet, and you've already jumped out. Your little scheme is too obvious."
Jiang Fan was taken aback by Lan Shengxue's strong attitude.
Although he was quite critical of the idea of using a handsome man to seduce someone, he had to admit that it was indeed the best way to get close to the two leaders of the Ruins Species. He hadn't expected Lan Shengxue to be so opposed to it.
"What's wrong? Is something the problem?" Jiang Fan turned his head to look at Lan Shengxue and asked.
Lan Shengxue frowned slightly, her red lips parted slightly, her attitude resolute.
"No means no!"
Jiang Fan was completely baffled by her expression. He thought to himself, "Women's hearts are truly unfathomable; I can't understand what she means at all."
"I think it's feasible, but--"
At this point, Jiang Fan turned to look at Ye Qizhen, a malicious smile spreading across his face. Ye Qizhen's hair stood on end, and she felt a bad premonition.
Then Jiang Fan said, "Although you're not as handsome as me, you're not bad looking either. If we're together, our chances are better."
Ye Qizhen's lips twitched, as if she knew it all along.
Seeing that Jiang Fan was really going to use his good looks to seduce her, Lan Shengxue knew she couldn't stop him.
I'll go too.
In fact, along the way, not only did female Ruins Species take a liking to Jiang Fan and Ye Qizhen, but male Ruins Species also coveted Lan Shengxue.
So it wasn't just Ye Qizhen who noticed that the Ruins Species was more focused on appearance; almost everyone else did too.
"No way!" Jiang Fan refused outright.
"If you can all go, why can't I?" Lan Shengxue asked, unconvinced.
That's different!
"How come it's different?"
Jiang Fan was speechless at the question. He really wanted to say, "Big sister, you're a woman, and we're men. It's definitely different. Besides, we're stronger than you, and we're all Spirit Master. We have the ability to escape unscathed, okay?"
Of course, Jiang Fan only thought this to himself; he wouldn't actually say it aloud to hurt Lan Shengxue.
"Cough cough."
Jiang Fan cleared his throat, deciding to use a more acceptable way of putting it.
The next second, he put his arm around Lan Shengxue's shoulder, staring intently at her, trying to make her see his seriousness in her eyes.
He lowered his voice, his tone sincere yet firm.
"You came in with me. As the captain, I'm naturally responsible for your safety, so I would never put you in danger. If anything happens to you, I'll feel guilty and remorseful for the rest of my life. Besides, I won't be able to explain it to your grandfather."
The most important thing was the last sentence; he was genuinely afraid that if anything happened to Lan Shengxue, Old Master Lan would fight him to the death.
If they were to seek revenge with his life, given the Crazy Old Man's current state of recovery, he might not be able to save himself.
Jiang Fan thought so, but Lan Shengxue automatically ignored what came after, only listening to the words about "guilt," "self-blame," and "responsibility" that came before.
Not only did I listen to it, but I also repeated it in my mind over and over again.
The more I repeat it, the sweeter it feels in my heart.
Finally, her eyes curved into a smile, and the ice and snow melted away.
That smile momentarily distracted Jiang Fan, who had ulterior motives.
"Alright, you two stop flirting and get to work." Ye Qizhen looked like she couldn't bear to watch.
He had barely finished speaking when he met Lan Shengxue's rather unfriendly gaze. He then shrank back, shut his mouth, and stopped talking.
The large tribes were relatively far away, and it took them a long time to reach the vicinity.
"Hide well, and whatever you do, don't get discovered."
After Jiang Fan finished giving his instructions, he and Ye Qizhen exchanged a glance, then emerged from the bushes together and headed towards the location of the large tribe.
As they walked, the two of them performed a show together with remarkable chemistry.
" Old Jiang, haven't we gone too far in? With our strength, if we encounter Third Molt Ruins Species, we'll lose our lives here."
"You think I wanted to go deeper? If I hadn't been surrounded and chased by those Ruins Species with nowhere else to go, who would choose to go deeper?"
"Sigh, this can't go on. After so many battles, we're already exhausted. Even if a First-Molt Ruins Species appeared now, I wouldn't be a match for it."
