Misunderstandings and Doubts

Chapter 16 Misunderstandings and Doubts

"Azure Dragon, don't scare them, come back!"

The girl gave a soft shout.

The white python circled Chen Fan quickly, causing his harpoon to miss its target, and then darted back to the riverbank.

Damn it...

Chen Fan was furious.

A python, and it dares to scare me?

Sooner or later I'll stew you into snake soup!

Wait a minute, this is clearly a white python, so why is it called a "Azure Dragon"?

You're courting death, and you still want to transform into a dragon?

Chen Fan glared fiercely at the Frost White Python, which flicked its tongue threateningly.

We can't beat them.

Chen Fan turned his head to look at the green-skinned dwarf.

Seeing Chen Fan staring at him, the goblin glared at him and said, "What are you looking at? You look like a hideous monster, are you jealous that I'm handsome?"

"Don't you want to explain yourself or apologize for urinating upstream just now?"

Chen Fan: "..."

At this moment, the girl spoke up: "Xiao Bu, that's enough, just say less!"

Before the goblin could speak, the girl tilted her head slightly and said, "The place where I am sitting is a dividing line in the Black Ant Forest. Further east, there are many level 2 or even level 3 monsters, which is very dangerous."

"Let's go back to the western region."

"As long as you don't cross this line, the black ant forest is actually quite safe."

"Because in various places where there are high-level monsters, there are actually security personnel stationed there."

"The so-called assessment is just a way to deliberately create difficulties and increase pressure for you, putting you into a state of 'despair' in order to increase your chances of awakening three days later."

"A safety officer...?" Chen Fan blinked and said, "Now you're telling me there's a safety officer in this black ant forest? Does that mean I don't have to feel any pressure at all?"

Without turning her head, the girl said, "You've already awakened your beast-taming talent and have two beasts to tame. You no longer need this kind of pressure."

"But if you go further downstream, you might really fall into a crisis."

Chen Fan nodded: "I actually searched online thousands of times before, and I know that going east is more dangerous, especially the direction near the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain."

The girl said calmly, "It seems you're not stupid."

Chen Fan: "..."

What the hell is this?

So, in your eyes I'm just a complete idiot?

Chen Fan glanced at the girl's back with some displeasure.

Suddenly, a goblin's shrill voice exclaimed, "Good heavens! This ugly, rude guy just came from out of town, and he actually knows how to use Baidu? Unbelievable!"

"Hey, you little green-skinned dwarf..." Chen Fan's face darkened. "With such a severe heart injury, how can you still be jumping around so much?"

"Why did the golden-horned beast attack your heart?"

"It should just knock all your teeth out so you'll shut up!"

The goblin paused, stunned.

The girl who was fishing also stiffened for a moment.

Aside from the other person and that person's beasts, only she and her own beasts knew that the goblin was injured.

How did this guy, who just came from "outside the area," know that?

You should know that goblins have heart injuries, which are not visible on the outside at all!

Even if he could see the injury, how would he know it was inflicted by the Golden Horned Beast?

The girl who was fishing slowly stood up and turned her head.

She turned her head and then froze for a moment...

Chen Fan had a cat on his shoulder, wearing a "green hat" on its head, and was carrying a "big bag" in his left hand.

Even though Fang Qingqing is very knowledgeable, she still found this look a bit hard to accept.

Fang Qingqing fixed her beautiful eyes on Chen Fan and asked, "Didn't you just arrive from out of town?"

Chen Fan shrugged: "Yes, that's me."

"I had taken a nap on a park bench, and when I woke up, I ran to the reception square."

"Then we lined up around the lamppost for the awakening guidance, received weapons and food, and began the three-day assessment."

Fang Qingqing stared intently into Chen Fan's eyes, as if trying to find a flaw or something unusual: "Then how did you know Xiao Bu's heart was injured? And what makes you so sure that it was the Golden Horned Beast that injured Xiao Bu?"

"You know Shen Hongxiu?"

The beasts that injured Xiao Bu and Yin Yue were both pets of Shen Hongxiu from Huanhai Academy.

Shen Hongxiu is considered one of Fang Qingqing's rivals, and the two have always disliked each other.

Unless this person was very familiar with Shen Hongxiu, Fang Qingqing really couldn't understand why he knew about this.

The goblin immediately shrieked, "Good heavens! Miss, you're too kind... What do you mean he knows Shen Hongxiu? He's a spy sent by Shen Hongxiu!"

"If they weren't sent by Shen Hongxiu, how could they know so much?"

"Shen Hongxiu?" Chen Fan wondered, "Is she human or a demon?"

As he spoke, Chen Fan took the jade from his head and placed it on his right shoulder.

But seeing the Silver Moon Azure Feather Bird and the Frost White Python trembling, Emerald darted back onto Chen Fan's head.

Little White thought the "hat" looked crooked, so it grabbed the jade with its two little paws and turned it around to straighten Chen Fan's "hat".

Chen Fan: "..."

Fang Qingqing: "..."

"I don't know any Shen Hongxiu at all... What, was this little green-skinned dwarf injured by Shen Hongxiu's beast?"

Chen Fan blinked, then immediately shifted the blame to Emerald, saying, "I know your beast was injured because my beast slime has that ability."

"Chirp chirp chirp!" Emerald chirped twice.

I'm not that amazing!

Chen Fan was well aware of this...

His identity as someone from "outside the area" will definitely be on official record.

It would seem more reasonable to blame the beast tamer.

This world of beast taming is filled with countless monsters, all kinds of strange and wonderful creatures, and their supernatural abilities are endless.

Some monsters can fly even without wings;

Some monsters are born with eye magic that can instantly induce hallucinations in people;

Some monsters can bathe in lava;

Some monsters' saliva can be used to heal wounds, and it's highly sought after by countless powerful individuals...

What's so strange about a mutated slime being able to see the injuries of a beast?

Later, I'll also let him "see" the evolution path of the beast tamer!

My jadeite has such eyes!

What can you do about it?

A mutated beast tamer! Who knows, maybe one day he'll turn into a handsome young man!

You're not convinced?

"Slime..."

The girl stared blankly at the slime on Chen Fan's head.

"This injury is a bit troublesome..."

Chen Fan said in a pretentious tone, "You can let him eat more sunflowers and flame grass, which will be more helpful in treating his injuries."

"Oh my god, I don't want to!" the goblin shrieked. "Miss, please don't listen to this guy! You know I hate sunflowers and fireweed the most!"

Chen Fan sneered: "You don't have to eat. If you don't eat, your illness won't get better for three months. Just keep holding on."

Fang Qingqing pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Bu is of the wood element, while sunflowers and flame grass are of the fire element. He doesn't like to eat either of these. They're not good for him either."

"Whether he likes it or not has nothing to do with whether these two things can heal his injuries," Chen Fan said calmly. "I'm just telling you that there's a way to heal his injuries. You don't need to argue with me... Anyway, that's what my Jade told me."

"Chirp chirp chirp (I didn't say that)." Emerald chirped twice more.

Fang Qingqing's expression froze: "But why should I believe you? What's the basis for your method?"

"Then there's nothing I can do." Chen Fan shrugged. "You can choose to believe it or not, I don't care."

"Oh my god!" the goblin shrieked. "Miss, I was absolutely right! This cuckolded guy really was sent by Shen Hongxiu!"

"I don't believe a slime could be that powerful!"

Fang Qingqing glanced at Chen Fan, her eyes turning somewhat cold, then silently turned away and sat down on the blue stone by the river.

This guy really was sent by Shen Hongxiu...

Using a slime as an excuse!

How could someone who just came from "outside the area" possess two beasts within half a day, even if they have already awakened?

Even if he could acquire two beasts in half a day, what makes him think he could lead those two beasts to fight against Shen Xinghe's Blue Scale Demon Fish?

How could a slime possibly possess such extraordinary abilities?

Fang Qingqing's face was as cold as ice, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes: "Go tell Shen Hongxiu that if she wants to fight me, she should fight me fair and square."

"These petty tricks are pointless."

"Although Xiaobu and Yinyue were injured, her fire spirit and golden horn were more seriously injured."

"The outcome of their next encounter is still uncertain!"

"..." Chen Fan chuckled to himself.

The other party has now concluded that he is the person sent by Shen Hongxiu.

Jade was looked down upon... She simply didn't believe that jade had such power.

Well, actually I don't believe it either.

Fang Qingqing then said, "Besides, didn't Shen Hongxiu tell you that slimes are the lowest level of monsters, with relatively weak attack and defense, and they are also difficult to evolve, so they are not very suitable as beast tamers?"

Upon hearing this, Emerald curled up on Chen Fan's head, looking very self-conscious.

Chen Fan gently patted the jade on his head: "I don't know about other slimes, but my jade is incredibly powerful and extremely cute!"

"Putting everything else aside, the fact that he can see through the injuries you sustained while controlling your beast means that he is unique and extraordinary."

The little white cat on the shoulder nodded and gently patted the jade with its tiny paws in a gesture of comfort.

Jade chirped twice, seemingly much more relaxed.

But the goblin sneered repeatedly, as if it didn't take the slime seriously at all.

Chen Fan glanced at the goblins, then turned and walked downstream.

Fang Qingqing was slightly taken aback, then immediately said, "Wait a minute!"

Chen Fan: "Is there anything else?"

Fang Qingqing said coldly, "I just said that going downstream would be extremely dangerous, didn't you know that?"

Chen Fan shrugged: "I know."

"..." Fang Qingqing sighed and said, "If you insist on going downstream... wait for me a little longer."

"What?" Chen Fan was stunned for a moment.

Fang Qingqing frowned and said, "I'll catch a few more Blue Scaled Demon Fish for Silver Moon; she likes to eat them... Then, I'll go with you."

Chen Fan: "You're coming with me?"

Fang Qingqing said calmly, "Your slime doesn't have much attack power. If it swims downstream, it's doomed."

"Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, so I'll just treat it as a way to clear my head."

Chen Fan couldn't help but take another look at Fang Qingqing.

Although the girl misunderstood him, she was kind-hearted and actually worried about the safety of a stranger like him.

"No need. The trial itself is a training exercise. I can just wander around by myself."

At this point, Chen Fan paused for a moment before continuing, "Let that goblin eat more sunflowers, flame grass, blood lotus essence, and purple orchid leaves."

"These things will help him heal."

Chen Fan did not specify the quantity of sunflowers or other items, nor did he explain the specific method.

These general things will certainly help goblins heal, but the effect won't be immediate, so it won't be too earth-shattering.

After saying this, Chen Fan turned around and prepared to leave.

It was only because the girl treated him fairly well and even reminded him not to go downstream that Chen Fan would have bothered to say those things.

As he walked past the Silvermoon Blue-feathered Bird, Chen Fan mimicked the goblin's tone and said, "Oh my god, this Silvermoon Blue-feathered Bird is so beautiful! It's even more beautiful than a phoenix! It's the most beautiful bird I've ever seen..."

Fang Qingqing: "..."

Goblin: "..."

Silver Moon Blue Feather Bird: "..."

The Silver Moon Azure Feather Bird immediately became happy, and its gaze towards Chen Fan became incredibly friendly.

Flattery will get you everywhere.

This silly bird... really loves being flattered!

Just a simple compliment, and its eyes change!

Sigh, this girl is so beautiful, why does she collect all sorts of strange and unusual beasts?

What if, during battle, the enemy showers this silly bird with praise? Would this silly bird turn around and beat up the goblin?

Chen Fan sighed inwardly, shook his head, then picked up the bundle made of large leaves in one hand and the harpoon in the other, and strode away.
