122 Ruins
After the desperate screams, as expected, the three people from the Li family turned into three corpses lying in pools of blood.
Wang Shengjun and the others were still angry. They ordered their fire pets to burn the corpses.
On one hand, it was to destroy the evidence.
On the other hand, it was to vent the anger and suppression in his heart.
He had finally caught a rare and magical creature. As long as he returned, he could sell it in exchange for huge wealth, but he had failed in vain because of Li Wanlie’s greed.
Now, the monster had already become Ye Fan’s Battle Pet.
They didn’t have the courage or the ability to take it back from Ye Fan, so they had no choice but to vent their depression on the corpse.
Seeing this, Ye Fan’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t say anything. Li Wanlie and the other two were finally dead—at the hands of Wang Shengjun and the others.
They did not have the courage to reveal what had happened today.
This matter was over.
“Let’s go.”
Ye Fan had no interest in continuing to stay here. He turned to Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya.
The two women were still in a daze, only waking up when Ye Fan spoke.
“Yeah… okay.”
Xu Menghan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Fan’s actions of not killing Wang Shengjun and the others made her feel as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
For some reason, she didn’t want Ye Fan to be a cruel person.
After this incident, the three of them were not in the mood to continue hunting. After some discussion, they decided to leave and return.
Wang Shengjun and the others looked at Ye Fan’s group leave with complicated expressions.
There was a long pause.
Someone couldn’t help but make a sound.
“Boss, what should we do?”
Wang Shengjun came back to his senses and stared at the person who spoke angrily.
“What else can we do? We’ll keep this to ourselves. No one can say anything, or you’ll know the consequences.”
People nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice.
They would only leak this matter if they were stupid.
At that time, there was no telling if anything would happen to Ye Fan and the other two, bu in any case, they wouldn’t be able to escape.
Li Zhe had died at their hands. It was obvious that the Li family would never let them off.
“However… that person is really strange. He looks at most 20 years old. Even Old Ghost Li was not his match.”
“Who says not? He’s simply a demon.”
“I’ve never seen a Beast Tamer so good at soul techniques.”
“I think that person must be a direct descendant of an ancient pet family.”
Listening to his subordinates’ discussions, Wang Shengjun felt very emotional.
Initially, they were in despair. They did not expect that a mysterious expert would jump out and kill Li Wanlie and the other two.
At this moment, there was only happiness in his heart.
As for that person’s identity…
Although he was curious, Wang Shengjun was not in the mood to explore.
Having been in this industry for a long time, he knew that it was best not to inquire about certain things.
Those who were too curious usually didn’t live long.
…
After calming down, Xu Menghan and Xiao Qiuya were still in a good mood.
After all, they had both obtained a fifth-rank pet with excellent potential on this trip.
As long as they broke through to the fifth level, they could immediately sign the contract.
While saving a lot of effort, it also further enhanced their future potential.
And all of this was bestowed by Ye Fan.
Both women were grateful to him.
Ye Fan felt a bit regretful.
There were too few third-rank pets in the Dragon Bone Forest.
He didn’t encounter many third-rank pets on the two trips.
Otherwise, he could catch some outstanding third-rank pets for Chen Xin and Xia Mingxue.
The two women had broken through three levels in the past year or two.
“Is this outside the Dragon Bone Forest? It feels so desolate. There’s nothing here.”
Rose lay on Ye Fan’s shoulder, her eyes dripping as she looked around, her face filled with disappointment.
Ye Fan patted her little head and smiled. “This is the wilderness. There are most stones here. When we return to Chaohai City, you’ll know what prosperity is.”
“Really?”
Rose’s eyes lit up with anticipation.
She had long wanted to see the city where humans lived.
At this moment, Xu Menghan suddenly asked, “Speaking of which, Rose, you came out of the Dragon Bone Tower. What does it look like inside?”
Ye Fan and Xiao Qiuya also curiously looked at her.
Rose scratched her head in memory for a moment, frowning. “I can’t remember. When I woke up, I found myself in a dark place and ran out.”
Yes, it was equivalent to not saying anything.
Ye Fan shook his head.
“I wonder if I’ll have a chance to go to the tower in the future.”
Basically, all the ruins were in the hands of the military.
But not all of them were closed to the public.
After all, the conditions to enter many ruins were very strange. There might be an age limit.
Or the limitation of strength.
Therefore, in order to better explore the ruins, the military often cooperated with civil organizations or major families and financial groups.
It might even be completely open to the public.
The Dragon Bone Tower might fall into this category.
If he could enter the Dragon Bone Tower, he might be able to trigger a new ruin mission.
Speaking of ruins, Ye Fan suddenly thought of the Seven Luminaries Tower and the Deer Demon, Irene.
He still had the key card that Irene had given him.
This was the key to challenging the Seven Luminaries Tower’s true inheritance on the seventh floor.
However, according to Irene, she hoped that Ye Fan would at least reach the sixth rank before he could attempt a challenge.
“After breaking through to Rank 6, I’ll give it a try.”
While he was thinking, unknowingly, the SUV returned to the city.
From a long distance away, rose’s eyes widened when she saw the towering outer wall and noisy supply point of Chaohai.
“W-What a huge rock. There are many people!”
The sprite did not have the concept of a city wall in his mind. She only thought of it as a boulder.
Hearing this, Xu Menghan couldn’t help but laugh.
A smile appeared in Xiao Qiuya’s eyes.
They entered the city.
Rose became more and more excited when she saw the bustling streets and people.
She chattered all the way. When she saw anything, she had to dance and shout for a long time, attracting the attention of many people.
Seeing Rose, many people looked curious.
After all, they had never seen such a magical creature.
Especially the girls, they were suddenly attracted by Rose’s cute appearance.
In addition, Ye Fan was also a handsome man.
He immediately attracted many girls.
Even with two beauties by Ye Fan’s side, he couldn’t resist the enthusiasm of those girls.
After walking for a few hundred meters, they stopped several times to deal with passers-by hitting on them.
“Ye Fan is really very popular.”
Xu Menghan pouted. Her tone was inexplicably jealous.
Xiao Qiuya glanced at her with a meaningful glint in her eyes.
In the end, Ye Fan had no choice but to take back Rose. The people finally calmed down.
Ten minutes later.
The three of them returned to West Eagle Academy and stood at the entrance.
Ye Fan directly walked towards his villa.
On the way, he began to think about his next plan.
He definitely had to participate in the school tournament in two months.
It was for no other reason than the possibility of triggering the system mission. He could not let go.
Then, until the start of the league, what needed to be done was very clear.
Improving his strength!
Ye Fan took out the interface and glanced at it.
Because they had just evolved, the growth of the four pets was still very low, less than 30%.
The newly contracted Rose was only about 16%.
“Next time, it must be used to increase growth.”
“And the main materials for evolution.”
…
Soul Dust was the main material for the evolution of Cang Gu.
The main evolution material of the Burning Knight was the Fire Stardust.
The Taiji Crystal belonged to Little Nine.
The Heart of the Fallen belonged to Anissa.
Rose’s material was the Ancient Acorn.
Among the five main evolution materials, only the Heart of the Fallen was obtained.
However, Anissa’s growth didn’t increase, so it was still useless.
“The Soul Dust is available in the Adventurer’s Association. The exchange price is 3,500 contribution points, which is not difficult.”
Ye Fan was currently a silver adventurer and could accept silver and gold bounty missions.
Silver bounty missions usually gave 100 to 300 contribution points.
Gold bounty missions ranged from 800 to 1,200.
In other words, as long as he completed about four bounty missions, he could basically earn the contribution points of Soul Dust.
“The Soul Dust is the simplest, but there are three main evolution materials.”
Ye Fan pondered slightly.
He had asked Shen Yi, Xu Menghan, and the others. He had also checked online.
According to the information gathered, the Fire Stardust was melted by the body of a fire-attribute astral creature after it died.
For example, Fire Spirit, Flame Traveler, Comet Beast, and so on.
However, as the name suggested, astral lifeforms were not creatures of the material world.
They lived in the astral world all year round and would only come to the material world under special circumstances. It could be said to be very rare.
It was not easy to find fire-elemental astral creatures.
Ancient Acorns were actually born from the Ancient Oak Guardians.
The latter was a Rank 8 monster.
Its level was not high, but there were very few of them.
Therefore, it was very difficult to obtain Ancient Acorn.
As for the Taiji Crystal, Ye Fan had no idea at all.
No one knew what it was, and no information could be found online.
Ye Fan estimated that either the Taiji Crystal hadn’t been included in the list of materials for pets, or it was too unpopular and wasn’t within the scope of public attention.
This was not impossible.
The main evolution material of Cang Gu was quite unpopular in the past.
The hidden evolution path had great potential, but the materials needed were getting stranger and rarer.
“If there’s really no other choices, I can only evolve by force.”
