This scene seems familiar.

Chapter 99 This scene seems familiar.

The woman pursed her lips, wiped away a tear, and said, "After I broke my contract with the badger, I would secretly go to see it every week."

"A while ago, I suddenly realized it wasn't at the training ground anymore..."

"After asking the Animal Breeders Association, I found out that you were the one who took it away."

"I secretly found your place, peeked at it from afar, but didn't dare to get closer..."

Ye Hao, who had just walked over, had a slightly cold expression.

He hadn't figured out what was going on before.

but now……

Chen Fan was silent for a moment before saying, "You misunderstood it back then."

The woman's tears fell again, drop by drop, onto Gangzi's head.

"I know……"

The woman said, her voice trembling with tears, "I knew it all along."

"It's all my fault..."

"At that time, I broke up with my boyfriend. I felt terrible. I felt like the whole world had turned gray and there was no point in living."

"The badger always comforted me, but I was in such a bad mood that I found it annoying instead."

"One day, we encountered a level 3 wind wolf in the wilderness... We could have avoided the wind wolf by hiding, but for some reason, the little badger suddenly rushed out and fought the wind wolf to the death."

"Later, both I and it were seriously injured, and with the help of others, we finally killed the wind wolf."

"I am angry……"

"I was already on the verge of a breakdown because of relationship problems, so I gave Xiao Huan a really thorough dressing down."

"It felt wronged and wanted to explain, but I didn't give it the chance. I blamed it for being disobedient and for always clinging to me instead of trying to cultivate..."

"But later I realized that it was because it knew I was very sad, so it wanted to stay with me all the time, afraid that I would do something foolish."

"But I misunderstood it, thinking it was disobedient and unwilling to be trained."

"Because of the Wind Wolf incident, I haven't paid attention to it for several days."

"As a result, it became very withdrawn, unwilling to play with other beasts, and often stayed alone in a dark corner."

"I got even angrier..."

"I don't understand why it's so listless, and I don't understand why it always runs to a dark corner and stares blankly while the other beasts are training."

"It felt wronged, but finally started training, training like crazy..."

The woman recounted her story with Gangzi in a low voice: "But I didn't get over the emotional trauma, I didn't spend much time with it, and I didn't communicate with it."

"Later, this happened several more times..."

"Every time I go to the wilderness and encounter a wind wolf in the Wind Riding Canyon, it goes crazy and rushes out, regardless of whether the wind wolf is level 3 or level 4."

"Both I and it were too weak, which nearly cost us our lives several times."

"I scolded it, I blamed it, but it didn't say a word or offer any explanation..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan interrupted her, saying, "The Wind Wolf King in Wind Control Canyon is its mother's killer."

"Today, with the help of several of its companions, it killed the Wind Wolf King."

"..." The woman's body trembled violently, and tears welled up in her eyes again!

Gangzi buried his head in her arms and didn't lift his head.

Chen Fan added, "I have no right to blame you. As a beast tamer, you are my senior."

"Logically speaking, you should understand that a beast tamer is a beast tamer's soulmate, not a beast tamer's tool or slave."

"It needs the companionship of a beast tamer, and it also needs the trust of a beast tamer!"

"If even you don't believe it, who else can?"

"Your misunderstanding could have been resolved through communication."

The woman lowered her head and pressed Gangzi's face against hers.

Chen Fan felt a tightness in his chest.

He really wanted to swear a few times.

but……

Meaningless.

If you really scold her, Gangzi will probably feel very bad, right?

Although Gangzi had already signed a contract with her, it was clear that Gangzi still had deep feelings for her.

Chen Fan glanced at the woman who was still crying, then turned and walked back to Jin Yuhai Dongqing's side, and sat down on a rock nearby.

Jin Yuhaidongqing glanced at Chen Fan, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Little White jumped into Chen Fan's arms and gently touched Chen Fan's chin with its little paw.

Chen Fan smiled slightly: "I'm fine..."

"Let Gangzi spend some time with her."

This time, Ye Hao, who is usually full of witty remarks, also chose to remain silent.

He gently patted Chen Fan on the shoulder, then silently dug out the snow ghosts' crystal cores one by one.

The fur of a snow ghost is actually quite valuable.

However, his tamed beasts lacked spatial abilities, and looking at the snow ghost corpses scattered on the ground, Ye Hao could only sigh helplessly.

Before long, Chu Xuan arrived with all the students from Class 5.

Everyone's expressions turned somewhat strange as they watched Gangzi being held in a woman's arms.

After Ye Hao explained in a low voice, everyone fell silent.

Chu Xuan walked to Chen Fan's side.

Everyone thought he would say something comforting to Chen Fan.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xuan also sat down on the rock that Chen Fan had been sitting on.

The two of them sat motionless like statues, which made Ye Hao so angry that he almost cursed.

At this moment, a girl walked up to Ye Hao and whispered, "Brother Hao, what level are these snow ghosts? Are they level 4 or level 5? I looked up some information before, and it seems that snow ghost fur is quite valuable, right?"

A group of students immediately gathered around.

"It's quite valuable, but each person's package is only this small." Ye Hao pointed to the corpses of the snow ghost leader and the two level 5 snow ghosts and said, "Go and skin that level 6 snow ghost and the other two snow ghosts."

A group of people stared at each other, motionless.

Previously, when they dug out the crystal core from the harpy's head, it almost gave them nightmares.

Now we have to skin this humanoid monster?

Peeling the skin off a fire ant is no problem, but peeling the skin off a snow ghost just feels creepy.

"..."

Seeing that no one moved, Ye Hao gritted his teeth in anger and said, "A level 6 Snow Ghost's hide can be used to forge powerful leather armor, worth at least 5 Alliance Coins, while those two level 5 Snow Ghosts..."

Before he could finish speaking, a group of people rushed out.

Ye Hao: "..."

Well, this bunch of guys who followed behind to gain experience not only skinned the level 6 and level 5 snow ghosts, but also skinned a bunch of level 4 snow ghosts.

Many people's backpacks were stuffed full.

Among those who were rescued, some were resentful, but the middle-aged man stopped them with a look.

Although they killed a few snow demons, the vast majority of them were killed by Chen Fan's Golden Feather Sea Falcon.

Besides, they were the ones who saved them.

After everyone finished fussing, Chen Fan stood up and called out, "Gangzi, let's go."

With that, he slung the knife over his shoulder and walked toward the crater.

Everyone glanced at Gangzi, who was still in the woman's arms, and followed Chen Fan silently without saying a word.

Gangzi jumped down from the woman's arms.

It tilted its head slightly and quietly looked at its former owner.

"Chirp chirp!"

"Meow!"

Emerald and Little White, who were lagging behind, turned around and urged him on.

The woman laughed and patted Gangzi's head: "Go on... Gangzi, I like your new name too."

"You now have a trustworthy owner and companions, and a new life has begun..."

"Sever ties with the past... No! Don't sever ties!"

"I'll still come to see you often from now on, okay?"

"If I visit you next time, will you turn me away?"

Gangzi gently touched the woman's hand with his little paw.

It turned around and ran a few steps towards Little White and Emerald, who were waiting for it.

Then it turned around and glanced at the woman behind it.

The woman's smile was as beautiful as a flower.

Gangzi laughed too.

Gangzi turned around, ran a few steps, and caught up with Xiaobai and Feicui.

Jade floated up lightly and landed on Gangzi's back.

Xiao Bai glared at Gangzi with some dissatisfaction.

Gangzi ran a couple more steps and walked alongside Xiaobai, grinning at her.

Xiao Bai rolled her eyes.

……

Ye Hao was right not to let everyone skin the other snow ghosts.

More than two hours later, when the group arrived at the entrance of a large cave, many of them were carrying large packages on their backs and dragging two or three dead fire ants, panting heavily from exhaustion.

In the two hours that followed, Chen Fan, accompanied by the Golden Feather Sea Eagle, swept through several monster lairs, killing a large number of half-dead Skyfire Ants along the way.

The corpses of many monsters are extremely valuable.

How could they bear to throw it away?

Of the more than sixty students, apart from scions of wealthy families like Chu Xuan and Ye Hao, most of the other students were dirt poor and couldn't even afford a weapon worth 2000 Alliance Coins.

After learning that a single fire ant corpse was worth 10,000 Alliance Coins, they completely ignored all advice, found ropes or vines, tied up the fire ant corpses, and dragged them all the way here.

The result was that they picked up the peaches but lost the sesame seeds, picked up the watermelon but lost the peaches...

A group of people, each carrying two or three fire ants, dragged them to the entrance of the crater.

Standing at the entrance, Ye Hao turned around, glanced at everyone, and laughed, "Alright, now you can throw away all the corpses of the Skyfire Ants... Ah, don't throw away the crystal cores, but you can throw away the corpses."

The short-haired girl who had initially encouraged everyone to eat Chen Fan's fire ant meat was furious: "What nonsense! You think you can just throw it away like that?!"

"I dragged these three fire ants all the way here, I'm so tired my bones feel like they're about to fall apart!"

"Now you've made me lose it?"

"I'd rather die!"

A group of people nearby nodded in agreement.

"Ugh!"

Ye Hao sighed and said, "A bunch of low-level accounts just trying to gain experience. Not only are their levels low, but their intelligence is also low."

Everyone was furious.

Aren't you just a low-level account used to gain experience?

You're only a few levels higher than us at most.

Aren't you still just following Chen Fan around, gaining experience as well?!

Seeing the fierce looks he was getting from everyone, Ye Hao glanced at the three fire ants behind the short-haired girl, blinked, and said, "These three fire ants behind you are at most level 5."

"You didn't have to throw it away..."

"But when it comes time to kill the level 6 and 7 Skyfire Ants, you won't get any."

Short-haired girl: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Why... why has everyone forgotten such a simple truth?

When we first entered the first secret realm, Chen Fan said that he would take everyone to the crater, saying that many high-level fire ants had crawled into the crater.

Why did everyone forget such an important thing?

Chu Xuan glanced at the faces of the crowd, which looked as if they had swallowed flies, and said calmly, "Greed is human nature."

Greed makes people stupid, and they do a lot of foolish things.

Damn it, this bastard insulted everyone!

Being handsome doesn't make you any special!

The short-haired girl let out a wail, staring intently at Ye Hao: "Why didn't you warn us sooner?"

"I tried to persuade you, but you wouldn't listen," Ye Hao said with a shrug. "As soon as you heard that a single Fire Ant corpse was worth tens of thousands of Alliance Coins, you all went crazy, wishing you could each carry a hundred back."

"Alright, stop making that long face like a donkey. This is a kind of cultivation, after all."

A group of people were so angry they wanted to kill Ye Hao.

Squad leader Leng Ruyu spoke up: "Alright, there's a big pit to our left. Everyone, drag the fire ants over there, pile them in that pit, and then cover them with snow."

"If we didn't get much when we came out, or if we still have the strength, then we can still take these fire ant corpses back."

The crowd sighed and dragged away the corpses of the fire ants and various monsters.

Standing at the edge of the pit, looking at the fire ants covered in snow, the short-haired girl couldn't help but let out another miserable wail: "My level 5 fire ants... I thought I was going to become a rich woman, but now I'm going to throw away my wealth with my own hands, oh my god!"

"Why is God doing this to me?!"

Chen Fan, who had been examining the cave, couldn't hold back any longer and turned around to say, "Ye Hao, just kick her down and bury her too."

The short-haired girl was so angry that she jumped up and down by the pit.

At this moment, Chen Fan glanced at Chu Xuan and Ye Hao: "After passing through this cave, we'll reach the ring mountain?"

Ye Hao squinted and nodded: "Hmm... probably."

Chen Fan kicked Ye Hao away.

Chu Xuan said in a deep voice, "According to the map, it should be correct."

"Here in the cave, snow is falling heavily."

"Beyond the cave, spring is in full bloom."

"Just tell me I'm right, no need for poetry." Chen Fan stepped forward, took a moonstone from his bag, and tossed it in. "God said, 'Let there be light!'"

The moonstone fell to the ground, emitting a faint glow that illuminated a large area.

Ye Hao walked over: "Brother Fan is indeed Brother Fan. Even throwing a moonstone makes him look cool. I, Ban, acknowledge you as the strongest!"

Chen Fan kicked him again, sending him flying.

Seeing its master being bullied repeatedly, the Heavenly Desolate Divine Ox ran over in anger, constantly exhaling white breath at Chen Fan, looking like it was about to explode.

With a flap of its wings, the Golden Feathered Sea Eagle sent the Heavenly Desolate Divine Ox flying, tumbling and scrambling around in disarray.

The Earth-Splitting Fire Dragon shook its head repeatedly as it looked at the Heavenly Desolate Divine Ox.

This idiot! The other guy has a level 16 Golden Feather Sea Falcon by his side, and it still dares to run over and bare its teeth. Is it looking for death?

Even the master has to listen to Chen Fan, so why are you acting all high and mighty?

Squad leader Leng Ruyu gave a light shout: "Alright, everyone, snap out of it and grab your weapons!"

"We're here to gain experience; we can't just sit back and do nothing!"

The short-haired girl said weakly, "Class monitor, what do you mean we're not doing anything? We've been dragging fire ants all the way here..."

Enraged, Leng Ruyu glared at her fiercely before saying, "Chen Fan and his beast tamers will not attack any Heavenly Fire Ants below level 4."

"If you all remain in this half-dead state and are accidentally killed by a monster, don't blame me for not warning you!"

Everyone was startled and quickly became alert.

The group of people walked along the way, dropping a moonstone here and there, until they passed through the long cave.

As soon as we emerged from the cave...

A figure suddenly flew down from the sky and landed on the green grass below the cave with a thud.

What the hell?

Snow is falling outside the crater, while people are falling inside?

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Chen Fan looked down and saw that the man was wearing black armor and lying motionless on the ground.

His armor was shattered and torn, revealing half of his buttocks.

Chen Fan blinked: "This scene seems familiar."

I'm begging for monthly votes! I'm practically rolling on the ground begging! Throw your monthly votes at me, even in my face!
