Free Web NovelChapter 1478: Tailored for him
In the end, Xiao Mu led the way to their next destination.
During this time, both Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan looked at Xiao Mu as if they were trying to ask it what it had seen. Only it didn’t seem like Xiao Mu wanted to talk to them at all about this.
It wasn’t as if Xiao Mu was silent, it was just that Xiao Mu didn’t want to talk about what it had seen.
So in the end, they arrived at their destination before they could find anything out from Xiao Mu.
After arriving, Xiao Mu reached its hand out towards Lin Fan without even saying anything.
It didn’t need to say anything since Lin Fan already knew what Xiao Mu was asking for from him. In fact, there was only one thing that it could have been asking for in this situation.
Without a word, he handed over the token.
Once Xiao Mu took the token, it focused on the space in front of them.
Xiao Mu had the ability to open up the barrier without the token, but it was something that made things much easier for it. With the token, Xiao Mu only needed to use half the effort to double the result.
It wasn’t as if they knew why the token could do something like this, but there was no reason to question it if it could do this.
There was no telling what was waiting for them, so it was best if Xiao Mu could use as little energy as possible. The more energy that Xiao Mu conserved, the more that it would be able to help them later if something were to happen.
With Xiao Mu using the token, there was a hole that suddenly appeared in front of them.
Neither Lin Fan or Ye Qing Huan were surprised to see this since this was something that they were already used to. Instead, what they were surprised by was what was waiting for them behind the barrier.
Both Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan had been expecting something completely different.
After all, the only thing that they had seen before were pavilions.
That was why they had been expecting a pavilion to be waiting for them behind this barrier.
Only the moment that this barrier was released, what was revealed was a forest.
It didn’t seem like there was an end to this forest, it seemed like this forest spread out quite far.
The lands of the Dao Sect were vast, so it wasn’t as if it couldn’t contain a forest like this. However, this place was right in the center of the sect, so it was a bit strange that they would leave a forest here.
That was unless there was something special about this forest...
"How far does the barrier stretch?" Lin Fan asked Xiao Mu when he came back to his senses.
Xiao Mu didn’t say anything at first, it just looked at the barrier that was in front of it. The only movement that came from Xiao Mu was that it gripped the token harder.
With the way that Xiao Mu gripped the token, it was as if it was trying to draw something from the token.
Neither Lin Fan or Ye Qing Huan said anything as they waited to see what Xiao Mu would be able to find.
After a long moment of silence, that was when Xiao Mu suddenly asked Lin Fan to take out the map.
"It goes from here to here." Xiao Mu said while drawing one finger across the map to create a circle. With this finger, Xiao Mu drew out quite the large area on the map which the forest occupied.
Seeing this, both Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan looked at the map with thoughtful looks on their faces.
For this forest to occupy all this space, did it mean that there was something special hiding in this place or was this being used for something?
There was absolutely no way that this would be a normal place.
But in the end, the two of them looked at each other with wry smiles.
Both of them came to the same conclusion.
"There’s no point in overthinking this."
If they thought too much about it, they would waste the precious time that they had bought with the bait that they laid. As such, it was better to just make the most of this precious time and see what they could find.
Only the moment that they stepped through the hole in the barrier, they felt something.
"There are spirit beasts around us."
If it was just one or two, it wasn’t as if this was a big deal.
The only reason that they mentioned this was because of the large number of presences that they could sense around them.
With how many presences they felt around them, they could tell that they were completely surrounded by these spirit beasts. Though it wasn’t as if these spirit beasts actually posed a threat to them.
Just like how they could sense the spirit beasts, they could also easily tell just how strong these spirit beasts were.
Even so, this was the Dao Sect.
In the end, it wasn’t as if the spirit beasts that were being kept in this place were that weak to begin with.
From the aura that they felt around them, they could tell that most of these spirit beasts were already in the Golden Core Realm. Other than that, there were quite a few that were in the Soul Building Realm.
However, it wasn’t as if these were the rulers of this place.
These were nothing more than ordinary spirit beasts that were wandering around in this forest. They seemed like they were nothing more than creatures that were at the very bottom of the food pyramid.
But with these spirit beasts at the bottom, it really wasn’t hard to imagine what was at the top.
"So what are we supposed to do in this place?"
Unlike the pavilions that made it clear what the tests were in those places, there really wasn’t anything that told them what they should do in this place.
While they were wondering what they were supposed to do, there was a voice that suddenly rang out, "Just show how well you can bond with the spirit beasts, that’s all you have to do to pass the trial here."
Lin Fan’s group immediately looked around for the source of this voice, but they weren’t able to find anything. From the way that this voice rang out, it really felt like this voice was coming from all around them.
Even when they searched with spiritual sense, they weren’t able to find a single trace of the owner of the voice.
But it wasn’t as if they had been expecting anything to begin with.
The ones that had remained as souls were those that had held a high position in the Dao Sect in the first place. These souls were powerful elders, so it only made sense that they weren’t able to find them. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Though there was another problem.
It was actually Ye Qing Huan who showed weakness for the first time.
"Bond with spirit beasts..." There was a bitter look that was on her face when she said this.
Lin Fan and Xiao Mu couldn’t help being caught off guard when they saw this.
After all, they had never seen Ye Qing Huan acting like this before.
Even Lin Fan, with all the time that he knew Ye Qing Huan had never seen her like this.
But there was no changing the fact that Ye Qing Huan was acting this way.
"You don’t know any beast taming techniques?" Lin Fan slowly asked this question.
The look on Ye Qing Huan’s face filled with more bitterness as she said, "It’s not that I don’t know any beast taming techniques, it’s just that I’ve never been able to form a bond with spirit beasts before."
Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling that there was more to what Ye Qing Huan said. There was this feeling that filled him as he started having an idea of why Ye Qing Huan said this.
"Is it because..." Lin Fan didn’t finish his words, but the way that Ye Qing Huan looked at him made it clear.
In fact, it was the embarrassed look that she had that made him stop his words.
In that case, that might have been for the best.
"I actually know a bit about taming beasts."
Ye Qing Huan wasn’t surprised to hear this since she knew that he controlled the spirit beasts in the Minor World, she had already seen it before when she had been in his Minor World.
However, this was different since this was taming spirit beasts that he didn’t have a connection to.
Even so, it didn’t seem like Ye Qing Huan had any reason to doubt Lin Fan.
If he said this, then he should be confident enough to accomplish this.
He had already shown her more than enough that she would be able to trust him, so she would just leave this to him.
In fact, this place was even tailored for Lin Fan. freewёbnoνel.com
"If there are stronger spirit beasts and I use the Love Gauge Taming..."
It was his chance to increase his forces once more.
Though it seemed like Xiao Mu also wanted to demonstrate its ability with how it said, "I can do some spirit beast taming as well."
It looked at Lin Fan as if it wanted to compete with him.
