Zizi!
A stone block cut into the shape of a stool was under Lin Fan’s bottom, while he held an iron fork casually forged by hand. What surprised Lin Fan was that this iron fork, made from a few pieces of refined iron, turned out to be a supreme human-grade artifact—an outcome he hadn’t anticipated at all.
Looks like my craftsmanship in forging artifacts is becoming increasingly powerful.
At this moment, over the fire, pieces of dragon meat were being roasted until golden and shining, looking quite delicious.
Lin Fan waited for the dragon meat to cook, and out of boredom, extended his finger toward the pool of dragon blood that had gathered into a small stream.
“Ding! Congratulations, you have discovered dragon blood. Would you like to absorb it?”
“Absorb.”
“Ding! Congratulations, experience for Eternal Divine Body has increased by 1.”
“Ding! Congratulations, experience for Eternal Divine Body has increased by 1.”
…
“Damn, even this tiny bit of experience is so useless,” Lin Fan scoffed, retracting his finger. According to what he had read in the library’s books, dragon blood was a rare and powerful treasure, possessing numerous miraculous benefits. Bathing in dragon blood could enhance physical strength and even potentially improve one’s innate talent.
Lin Fan shook his head. The dragon blood had been praised so highly in the books, yet now that he had seen it firsthand, it was surprisingly ineffective—truly disappointing.
The dragon blood, considered a supreme treasure among the living beings of the Great Thousand Races, was now carelessly discarded and neglected by Lin Fan.
Hualala!
Just at this moment, Lin Fan sensed a lifeform rapidly approaching from afar.
A Heavenly Sage at the first Heaven-level True Dao stage.
An Ancient Heaven-level Great Perfection cultivator.
A High-tier Azure Heaven-level expert.
…
“How weak,” Lin Fan muttered, shaking his head. He didn’t bother to take them seriously. As long as they didn’t provoke him, there would be no trouble.
At this moment, waves of fragrance wafted toward him. Lin Fan hadn’t eaten in quite a while, so his taste buds were wide open.
Not far away, a group of figures were moving quickly, in a panic, as if fleeing from something.
“How could the Ancient Clans have discovered us?”
“Sisters, hurry up! We absolutely mustn’t be caught by the Ancient Clans, or we’ll all suffer terribly.”
“I hate this so much! It’s all my fault for being too weak to protect everyone.”
These figures were all women—exquisitely beautiful, each movement exuding charm and allure.
Among this group, one female disciple stood out as the most beautiful and the strongest. She was clearly the leader.
Yet even now, her expression was filled with panic, and she kept glancing anxiously behind her.
She knew all too well the horrors of being captured by the Ancient Clans.
Not only would they be trampled upon, but they would also be devoured alive.
“Can you all smell something delicious?” Suddenly, a girl with bright, lively eyes spoke up.
“Ziyun, how can you still be thinking about food at a time like this?” The strongest woman scolded her.
She couldn’t believe that Ziyun was still thinking about delicacies at such a critical moment.
“Wait, I can smell it too.”
“Me too! This scent is so fragrant!”
At that moment, the fleeing women looked at each other in confusion, unable to determine where the aroma was coming from.
“Hey, look over there—there’s someone!” Ziyun, whose eyes sparkled with liveliness, pointed her slender finger forward.
Piaopiao focused her gaze and indeed saw a man sitting in the distance.
Lin Fan turned his head to look at the approaching group of women, his eyes flashing with a hint of surprise.
What were these beautiful girls doing in such a dangerous forest?
Lin Fan held a piece of roasted dragon meat in one hand, took a slow bite, and then smiled toward the group.
“There are Ancient Clans chasing you from behind. You should run quickly,” Piaopiao warned him, even though she didn’t know who he was. However, seeing that he was also a living being of the Great Thousand Races, she still felt the need to give him a warning.
“Oh, would you like some dragon meat?” Lin Fan replied calmly.
Hearing this, Piaopiao’s expression suddenly changed. She gritted her teeth and didn’t say anything else. She had already given her warning. If he refused to listen, then it wasn’t her fault.
However, just at this moment, something unexpected happened—Ziyun, the younger girl, suddenly stopped and stood in front of this man.
“I’ll eat it.”
Looking at the girl in front of him, Lin Fan couldn’t help but smile slightly. What a clever little girl.
“Ziyun, what are you doing?” Piaopiao shouted anxiously.
“Sister, that huge dragon ahead is too scary. I’m afraid and don’t dare to go forward,” Ziyun said meaningfully.
“A huge dragon? Where?” Piaopiao was momentarily confused, not understanding what Ziyun meant.
But when she turned her head forward, she froze in shock.
There lay the corpse of a massive dragon, cut clean through at the waist.
Its fierce, imposing head radiated an aura of dominance. Even in death, it exuded a terrifying presence.
This was truly a dragon. Then what about…
Piaopiao stared blankly at the roasted meat in the man’s hand.
“You all seem exhausted from running. Why don’t you come over and eat some meat to regain your strength?” Lin Fan said with a smile.
Although he didn’t know who they were, in any case, they were all beings of the Great Thousand Races. Since he had encountered them, he might as well offer help if possible.
The girls were stunned, then, like the little girl, slowly walked over.
“Hello,” Piaopiao approached Lin Fan, momentarily unsure of what to say.
“Hello,” Lin Fan smiled gently, “Feel free to sit down.”
Before they could fully react, the group gathered around the fire and sat down.
“Don’t worry. Eat. If the Ancient Clans come, let them come. No need to be so tense,” Lin Fan said with a chuckle.
Though Lin Fan wasn’t particularly close to women, seeing these adorable girls trembling in fear from those Ancient Clans was simply too unappealing.
“Yes, we’re not nervous at all,” Ziyun, who was quite lively, replied, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
She had already figured it out—the dragon was real. Even more shocking was that the dragon blood had been so carelessly spilled onto the ground.
The plants and flowers stained by the dragon blood had suddenly transformed, growing much more luxuriant than those untouched by the blood.
They were almost becoming spirit herbs.
“Here, have a piece of dragon meat,” Lin Fan picked up a piece and handed it to her.
“Thank you,” Ziyun was still caught up in the escape, but at this moment, she had calmed down somewhat. However, the moment she grasped the handle of the iron fork, she gasped in shock.
“This…”
Ziyun stared at Lin Fan in astonishment, then fixed her gaze on the iron fork in her hand, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Piaopiao understood her younger sister’s thoughts, but her heart was still filled with anxiety. After all, the Ancient Clans were right behind them.
Although this man seemed mysterious and possibly strong, there was no guarantee he could defeat the Ancient Clans.
As Piaopiao was lost in thought, her younger sister’s sudden cry startled her.
“Ziyun, what’s wrong?” Piaopiao looked at Ziyun with shock.
The other girls around them reacted the same way, sitting uneasily, their hearts filled with fear.
“Sister, this… this…” Ziyun pointed at the iron fork in her hand, unable to believe what she was trying to say.
