13 Chapter 10 Level 2 Iron-Eating Black Ant
Translator: 549690339
Black Ant Forest indeed had Thunder Element Fruits.
But the Thunder Element Fruits grew on the edge of the Black Ant Forest, downstream of the Sinking Star River, near the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
Most level-2 Iron-eating Black Ants in the Black Ant Forest were concentrated in that area.
Not only that, but many level 3 and above monsters from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain also roamed there, making it a high-risk zone.
Chen Fan was also torn in his heart…
After Snowy had a breakthrough to level 2, he could definitely try to fight level 3 Blue Scaled Demonic Fish in the Sinking Star River.
After all, they were fish in the river; if they couldn’t beat them, they could at least escape.
Anyway, no matter how powerful the level 3 Blue Scaled Demonic Fish were, they couldn’t climb ashore.
However, if he encountered level 3 and above monsters in the jungle, then…
It wouldn’t be just his death.
It would be his death for sure.
With Snowy’s speed and the new skill “Thunder Flash,” there might be a chance to escape.
However, for Chen Fan himself, it would be a dead end.
Should he go or not?
After Snowy’s breakthrough to level 2, as long as they didn’t go to those dangerous areas, they wouldn’t encounter any major dangers.
After these three days, enter the Academy for study, then open a “Guardian Beast Cultivation Store”, where he could easily make money and buy materials to help Snowy upgrade.
He really didn’t need to take such risks.
But for some reason, there was an odd impulse deep inside Chen Fan’s heart.
Having grown up in the Orphanage for more than a decade, Chen Fan often acted carefree and seemed like nothing bothered him.
But he knew very well that deep in his heart, there was a streak of madness.
Among the many children in the Orphanage, he was the only one who had fought a group of wild dogs to protect a little sister.
On the other hand, after signing the contract with Snowy, Chen Fan felt a deeper bond…
He now eagerly anticipated Snowy’s growth, so much so that he couldn’t wait to pick a Thunder Element Fruit to help Snowy improve his combat power level.
He had never experienced this feeling before.
“First, let’s find a place to enter the Beastmaster’s Space and check it out!”
Chen Fan had a sudden thought: “If we can enter the Beastmaster’s Space at any time, it means we have an ‘invincible state’!”
Having thought about it, Chen Fan looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one and no monsters around, he entered a dense forest with thick trees.
As soon as he entered the dense forest, Chen Fan contacted the Beastmaster’s Space.
Immediately in front of him, a Six-pointed Star Array appeared.
“Snowy, you go into the Beastmaster’s Space first.”
Chen Fan pointed at the Six-pointed Star Array.
Snowy leaped into midair and jumped onto the Six-pointed Star Array, and then slowly sank into the Beastmaster’s Space.
Before the Six-pointed Star Array disappeared, Chen Fan also jumped right into the center of it.
But…
There was no response.
The Six-pointed Star Array also disappeared quickly.
“As expected, it still relies on the System.”
Chen Fan clicked on the “Enter” button in the corner of the system panel.
A vortex, more than two meters in diameter, appeared in front of him out of thin air.
“Is this the gate to the Beastmaster’s Space?”
Chen Fan touched his chin and then poked the fishing spear into the gate.
The next moment, he “saw” half of the fishing spear sticking out in his Beastmaster’s Space!
“Interesting!”
Chen Fan threw the fishing spear inside and then tossed the leaf-wrapped Grilled Fish into the Vortex Space Gate…
“Bang!”
The leaves, wrapped with a bunch of grilled fish, were bounced back.
The Grilled Fish scattered all over the ground.
“…”
Chen Fan was stunned.
Why could the fishing spear be sent in, but not the Grilled Fish?
Wait a minute…
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, picked up two Grilled Fish, and carefully walked into the Vortex Space Gate.
A moment of dizziness later…
Chen Fan stepped onto solid ground and appeared in his Beastmaster’s Space.
Blue sky, white clouds, and green grass.
Four strange spatial gates…
“Meow!”
Snowy jumped and landed in Chen Fan’s arms.
“Hahaha!”action
Chen Fan held Snowy and rolled in the grass.
After playing for a while, Chen Fan sat up holding Snowy: “Stop playing for now; I want to check this Vortex Space Gate.”
Chen Fan put Snowy down and stared at the Grilled Fish in his hand, lost in thought.
When he threw the Grilled Fish into the Vortex Teleport Gate earlier, it bounced back.
But with one Grilled Fish in each hand, he successfully entered.
What was going on?
An idea popped into Chen Fan’s mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up with joy.
He placed the two Grilled Fish on the grass in front of Snowy and picked up the fishing spear before leaving the Beastmaster’s Space.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Fan clicked “Enter” again.
The Vortex Space Gate reappeared.
Chen Fan threw the fishing spear in his hand toward the Vortex Teleport Gate…
“Bang!”
The fishing spear bounced back, almost stabbing Chen Fan’s foot.
Chen Fan picked up two small stones and threw them at the Vortex Space Gate, but the stones were also bounced back.
As expected, it didn’t work…
Whether it was the fishing spear, the grilled fish, or the stone, none of them could enter the Beastmaster’s Space without being separated from Chen Fan!
Chen Fan’s mouth slightly curved up, and he laughed.
He picked up the fishing spear and pushed it forward, and both the spear and his arm entered the Vortex Space Gate.
Then, he gently threw it…
The fishing spear fell on the grassland of the Beastmaster’s Space!
So, that’s how it is!
Chen Fan’s eyes lit up, and he finally understood what was going on.
Aside from himself and the contracted Guardian Beasts, any external object needed to be in contact with him in order to enter the Beastmaster’s Space!
Whether it was the fishing spear, the grilled fish, or the stone, once they left his hand… or rather, if they didn’t have contact with his body, they couldn’t pass through the spatial gate!
Chen Fan was both surprised and delighted.
Previously, he was actually worried that the Teleportation Gate of the Beastmaster’s Space would have a fatal bug. If an enemy or monster was near him, wouldn’t they directly rush into the Beastmaster’s Space when he entered it?
Now it seems that this problem does not exist.
Without physical contact with him, neither enemies nor monsters could break in!
Chen Fan let out a strange laugh, picked up the grilled fish from the ground, wrapped it in leaves, and then stepped into the Vortex Space Gate.
In the Beastmaster’s Space, Snowy was happily gnawing on a grilled fish.
Another grilled fish was left with only its clean, intact skeleton.
“After the Awakened, Snowy has become a foodie…”
Chen Fan shook his head with a smile and walked to a door in the Beastmaster’s Space.
The Beastmaster’s Space seen on the Beastmaster Forum had no door.
Chen Fan was also very curious about what was behind the door.
After hesitating for a moment, he carefully stepped towards the door…
“Bang!”
As if he had hit an air wall, Chen Fan squatted down with an “Ouch” and covered his nose.
At the same time, a system message appeared in his mind…
[To enter the Different Space, the host’s Cultivation Realm must be at least above the 4th grade, and the Guardian Beast’s Combat Power Level must be at least 20.]
Damn you, system…
You only provide a prompt after I hit my nose and my tears are about to flow?
What took you so long!
That was careless… When he first entered the Beastmaster’s Space, he knew to stab with the fishing spear a few times, but this time he was careless.
Chen Fan stood up with resentment, holding his nose.
“Hehe, hehehehe…”
Snowy covered her mouth and giggled quietly.
“It’s not you who got hit, you try it and see if you can still laugh?” Chen Fan couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
“Let’s go, Snowy. Let’s find materials for your upgrade.”
Chen Fan concentrated and clicked on the “Exit” button on the system panel.
The Vortex Space Gate, exactly the same as before, appeared in front of him.
Using the Summoning Array to let Snowy enter and exit the Beastmaster’s Space was a bit slow, so Chen Fan let Snowy go through the Spatial Gate with him and leave the Beastmaster’s Space.
After confirming that he could freely enter and exit the Beastmaster’s Space, Chen Fan became more confident. He and the cat walked leisurely along the Sinking Star River.
Actually, besides the Beastmaster’s Space trump card, the system also has a feature to avoid danger…
Within fifty meters, as far as Chen Fan’s sight could reach, the attribute panel of the monsters would appear.
This would allow Chen Fan to detect high-level monsters in advance!
With such two trump cards, Chen Fan had more courage, and his running speed also increased significantly.
Along the way, they encountered several water pits, mostly containing a few Level 2 Blue Scaled Demonic Fish.
Chen Fan and Snowy used their old tricks: Chen Fan threw stones to attract the attention of the Blue Scaled Demonic Fish on this side, Snowy went to the other side to launch surprise attacks, and in no time, those Blue Scaled Demonic Fish were killed cleanly.
Now they had more than enough fish to help Snowy Breakthrough to Level 3.
After grilling all the fish and sharing a big meal with Snowy, Chen Fan continued walking along the river with her.
Time slowly passed.
The sun set in the west.
After running more than five miles again, Chen Fan suddenly slowed down and signaled to Snowy: “About thirty meters to the left front, there is a Level 2 Iron-eating Black Ant and four Level 1 Iron-eating Black Ants.”
Snowy immediately bared her teeth and grinned, looking desperate to try.
“Alright, let’s go wipe them out!”
Although they had been training Snowy for a few hours earlier, actual combat was the key to real growth!
Seeing Snowy’s eagerness, Chen Fan knew she wanted to show off her skills.
He squatted down and slowly approached the Iron-eating Black Ants with Snowy.
As he walked, Chen Fan’s eyes swept around.
The surroundings were very safe…
Except for the five Iron-eating Black Ants, there were no other monsters.
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and communicated with Snowy through his thoughts: “The Level 2 Iron-eating Black Ant, with a body length of sixty centimeters, poses the greatest threat. We’ll deal with it first!”
“Yes!” Snowy nodded.
Chen Fan: “When we get within about 20 meters, you use Thunder Flash to get close and then strike it with your Thunder Cat Claw!”
“Remember, the Iron-eating Black Ant’s main attacks are a wide-area Acid Spray and a pair of large crab-like pincers.”
“When you attack it, go around its back and keep a distance of about four meters… At this distance, your Thunder Cat Claw can exert its full power, and you can avoid its pincers.”
“When you use Thunder Flash to close the distance, aim for the ant’s head with your Thunder Cat Claw, and try to kill it with one blow!”
“Also, watch out for the acid of the other Iron-eating Black Ants!”
Snowy nodded repeatedly.
“How smart!”
Chen Fan gently rubbed Snowy’s head.
A flash of light shone on Snowy’s body.
“Crack!”
The next moment, she appeared directly in front of the Level 2 Iron-eating Black Ant.
“…”
Chen Fan was stunned.
That wasn’t the tactic I just talked about!
