Volume 4: Nan Yue Creates Turbulence 0137: Danger Zone

  Yun Teng's opponent didn't take the cloud's appearance seriously, this young man's aura was too weak, compared to the previous five people, it was even weaker, so weak that it couldn't even trigger an alarm.

  Fang Yun looked at the Cloud Striding Leopard: "It seems like a pretty good mount."

  Fang Yun thought of the silver wolf raised in the backyard of Fang Yue's residence, this cloud leopard was even bigger than the silver wolf, and it should be more convenient to run around in the forest.

  Fang Yun didn't move not because he was lazy, but because his injuries hadn't fully recovered yet. He tried to move as little as possible to avoid making the injury worse.

  "Leave quickly..." Mo Lan reminded loudly, she yearned for someone to lend a helping hand, but absolutely not Fang Yun, such a weak and small youth compared to them.

  However, Fang Yun seemed as if he hadn't heard anything and suddenly rushed down the slope, charging towards Yun Tuo Bao with a speed that was almost comparable to Yun Tuo Bao's.

  Yun Teng Bao felt an incredible aura, rushing towards him with great pressure, a kind of pressure he had never experienced before. He felt as if a small mountain was coming towards him, making his body stiffen in place, without even having the chance to turn his head.

  Mo Lan's pupils suddenly contracted, her eyes were already unable to move, her gaze was desperately capturing Fang Yun's speed like a thunderbolt, her breathing became dull, a strong gust of wind swept across her face, Mo Lan almost lost her balance.

  In the blink of an eye, Fang Yun appeared in front of Cloud Trail Leopard. Neither Mo Lan and others nor Cloud Trail Leopard could react in time. Fang Yun lightly tapped a few times on Cloud Trail Leopard's body with his extreme speed.

  The giant body of the cloud leopard crashed to the ground, maintaining its original posture, with its mouth open and its eyes still rolling around, revealing a look of shock. However, no matter how hard it struggled, its body was as stiff as if it had been frozen, unable to move at all.

  Although the body of Yun Tui Bao is different from that of a human, the construction principle is the same. Fang Yun takes precedence over momentum, first exploring the body structure of Yun Tui Bao, and then directly sealing its acupoints, making it unable to move.

  This is also at the smallest cost, in exchange for the greatest effect. Everyone has already been speechless, staring blankly at Fang Yun, this... is this really a human?

  "Is he really the same age as me?" Xiaoyue couldn't help but think, this young man who was similar in age to herself, yet had completely different abilities, made her feel a twinge of inferiority.

  "Y... who are you?" Mo Lan's face gradually returned to normal, and she asked cautiously.

  "Fang Yun." Fang Yun replied: "How to get through the danger zone, I've been searching for half a day and still can't find the danger zone of the trial forest."

  "We haven't been to the danger zone either." Mo Lan said helplessly, with their strength, they could barely survive in the outer areas, how could they possibly know about the danger zone.

  Fang Yun helplessly rubbed his head, at this time Xiao Yue suddenly spoke up and said: "This classmate... I know how to get through the danger zone..."

  "Do you know?"

  "Xiao Yue, don't talk nonsense!" Mo Lan said in a low voice.

  Fang Yun glanced at the two people lying not far away: "I'll help you safely leave the trial forest, and you take me to the danger zone."

  "Good." Xiaoyue nodded without hesitation.

  "Dawn Moon." Mo Lan was somewhat annoyed, in the ordinary area, they had already encountered such danger, and the danger zone was a hundred times more dangerous than here. Even if this young man was strong, it would be impossible for him to escape unscathed. After all, even instructors needed to form teams to enter and exit the danger zone.

  Fang Yun handed four medicinal pellets to Mo Lan: "Each of you take one, and there won't be any more beast attacks."

  These pills are Fang Yun's specially refined Beast Repellent Pills. After taking them, a smell that only fierce beasts can detect will be emitted from the body within three hours. Fierce beasts are extremely disgusted by this smell, so their safety can be guaranteed.

  Mo Lan held four pills, her face hesitant. On the one hand, she did want to take her companions and leave the trial forest. On the other hand, she was unwilling to let Xiao Yue take risks. After all, in the trial forest, anything could happen.

  Fang Yun looked at the Cloud Stride Leopard on the ground, and pressed his palm into the leopard's forehead. A divine thought connected with the leopard's divine thought.

  This is a spiritual technique of the Yu Shou Men, which combines one's own divine thoughts with those of beasts. This combination is only temporary and depends on the practitioner's level of cultivation.

  Of course, there are also permanent slave beasts, but permanent slave beasts are not that simple.

  Fang Yun bit his finger, drawing a pattern on the forehead of Yun Zong Bao. In an instant, the pattern appeared in Yun Zong Bao's eyes, and he let out a gentle growl, ceasing his fierce struggle.

  Fang Yun opened up the Cloud Stride Leopard's acupoints, and the Cloud Stride Leopard immediately stood up, shaking its body.

  Mo Lan and the others immediately jumped back in fright, staring at Yun Zong Bao tensely. However, after Yun Zong Bao got up, he surprisingly rubbed his head affectionately and gently rubbed against Fang Yun's body, just like a domestic cat, very docile.

  This made Mo Lan and others who had almost died at Yun Zong's hands earlier, all stare in shock, their faces filled with incredulity.

  "Could it be a Summoner?" Mo Lan looked at Fang Yun with surprise and uncertainty. After all, except for Summoners, no other profession could make ferocious beasts submit instantly. And even among Summoners, only high-ranking ones could easily form contracts with high-ranking wild beasts like the Cloud Trail Leopard.

  Fang Yun jumped onto the back of the Cloud Striding Leopard and looked towards Xiaoyue, stretching out his hand and saying: "Come."

  Xiao Yue looked at Mo Lan, then plucked up the courage to take Fang Yun's hand, and Fang Yun pulled Xiao Yue behind him, whispering "Hold on tight."

  Xiao Yue's face was slightly red, she bit her silver teeth, and wrapped her arms around Fang Yun's waist. Fang Yun gently patted the neck of Yun Tuo Bao, who suddenly darted forward and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

  Mo Lan stared blankly at the disappearing two people and one beast, still in a daze, until Xiao Feng pulled her sleeve: "Mo Lan sister... what do we do now..."

  "Wait..." Xiaoyue suddenly called out.

  "Is there anything else?" Fang Yun stopped Cloud Leopard and asked.

  "We... we've taken a wrong turn..." Xiaoyue said in a low, embarrassed voice.

  Fang Yun's face suddenly turned red, and he hastily ordered Cloud Leopard to drive, without even asking for directions, almost leaving him speechless.

  "How did you know about the danger zone in the trial forest?" Fang Yun asked, the other older disciples didn't know, but a girl of similar age to herself actually knew where the danger zone was, which made Fang Yun somewhat surprised.

  Xiao Yue's face turned slightly red as she said with embarrassment, "I originally thought that this time in the ordinary area would be easy, and then we could go take a look at the danger zone."

  Xiao Yue was clearly fearless, thinking that her current strength would be enough to handle any danger. However, after entering the trial forest, she discovered that her little bit of strength was completely useless in the face of real danger.

  "I used all my points to exchange for a complete map of the Trial Forest," Xiaoyue said in a low voice.

  "Give me the map and let me take a look." Fang Yun said.

  "That... that's what I exchanged all my points for..." Xiaoyue was clearly unwilling to hand over the map to Fangyun, and even more afraid that he would take the map and abandon her here.

  "How did you get your points?" Fang Yun asked.

  "Aren't you a student of Canaan Academy? Do I need to ask?"

  "I'm not..." Fang Yun shook his head and said.

  "Generally, entering the ordinary area of the trial forest and picking up a label will get you 100 points." Xiaoyue added: "The Canaan Academy has placed many identification labels in the trial forest area. The labels for different areas are also different, that is to say, getting more labels means higher scores."

  Xiao Yue paused for a moment, then continued: "Defeating a beast above the third rank and obtaining items from its body as proof of victory can earn you 100 points. For a fourth-rank beast, it's 1,000 points, and for a fifth-rank beast, it's 10,000 points. The points increase tenfold with each rank. If you bring back an intact beast, the points double. If you capture it alive, the points double again. And if you find rare materials or herbs, you'll earn different amounts of points."

  "How many points did you exchange for your map?" Fang Yun asked.

  "600 points." Xiaoyue replied.

  "Give me the map, and when I return, this cloud-tracing leopard will be yours." Fang Yun said.

  "This... you're saying this..." Xiaoyue's heart almost jumped out of her throat, looking at Fangyun with some disbelief. This was a fifth-rank ninth-grade Cloud Trail Leopard, which was equivalent to 40,000 points!

  She spent four years as a janitor at Canaan Academy and still didn't have 10,000 points. How could she not be excited: "Are you telling the truth?"

  "It doesn't matter to me anyway, but I'll remind you that this Cloud Striped Leopard is only temporarily under my control. After a day, it will return to its true nature. You can take it away and exchange it for points, but don't think about controlling it as your pet." Fang Yun reminded.

  Xiao Yue never thought that she could control Yun Tui Bao, after all, she was not a summoner, nor a beast tamer. Being able to subdue high-ranking alien beasts was something that one might encounter but couldn't seek out.

  Xiao Yue touched her belly and pulled out a map, handing it to Fang Yun. She asked cautiously, "You won't leave me here, will you?"

  Fang Yun took over the map and looked at the marks on it. In the center of the danger zone, there was another mark that read: "There is also a desperate area above this."

  "Yes, it's said that there are exotic beasts above the eighth rank inside, even the principal wouldn't dare to enter rashly." Xiaoyue said with some fear.

  "Are you waiting for me outside or are you coming with me into the danger zone?" Fang Yun asked, this time mainly to find materials for refining the Condensed Spirit Pill, and wouldn't take the initiative to be adventurous.

  He just couldn't be certain whether he would encounter some unpredictable danger and have to flee, without necessarily being able to take care of Xiao Yue.

  "I... I'll go in with you."

  Fang Yun gave Xiao Yue a Beast-Repellent Pill, which could last for three hours and prevent any disturbance from beasts. If the time was exceeded, the effect of the medicine would weaken, and even if another pill was taken at that time, it would be useless.

  Although the trial forest is very large, there are cloud tracks and leopards to step on. The speed of two people and one beast is not slow, but in a short moment, they have already approached the dangerous area of the trial forest.
