Live Strong in the Wilderness

Chapter 421: We Can Make a Deal

Thus, Qin Fan led the remaining 10 people into the jungle.

Xu Yi remained in the camp to train, after all, he already knew the strength of a level 3 Fierce Beast, and he wasn’t yet strong enough to handle it.

So, staying in the camp to train was a wise choice.

This way, Qin Fan and the others could smoothly return to their camp through the team map, without worrying about getting lost.

Xu Yi’s Black Qilin, he let Zhou Mo and Zhou Chun ride on it, which would make their speed much faster.

Xu Yi sat cross-legged in the tent, practicing the Supreme Profound Meditation Method.

Here, Qin Fan led everyone running through the jungle against level 2 Fierce Beasts.

Their target was the west, a direction they hadn’t explored much, and the probability of encountering Fierce Beasts was relatively high.

When Xu Yi wasn’t around, Qin Fan was the squad leader, which everyone agreed upon by default.

In less than an hour, they encountered two Fierce Beasts.

They looked somewhat like foxes, but double the size of an ordinary fox.

Eleven flying arrows, like flowing light, shot towards the two Fierce Beasts.

Then, they realized their own strength.

The Red Lotus Flying Arrow directly broke through the Fierce Beasts’ defenses, piercing their bodies.

In an instant kill, 11 people attacked together and took out the two Fierce Beasts.

Then, they extracted the brain crystals from the two Fierce Beasts and placed the bodies on Erha’s back.

Lu Ke herself rode on Erha, which had no problem carrying three or four Fierce Beasts.

"Our strength is quite impressive, no wonder Xu Yi trusts us so much," Su Yan happily said, as she had broken through to a level 2 Mage, realizing the gap between her and Lu Ke had significantly reduced.

"Yeah, I didn’t expect us to easily hunt two Fierce Beasts. I think with the 11 of us, handling seven or eight Fierce Beasts shouldn’t be a problem," Lu Ke was also very happy, as having such ability meant they could easily live here.

By the time Xu Yi reached level 3, their strength would also have increased significantly, and dealing with level 3 Fierce Beasts shouldn’t be a big issue.

Everyone else agreed, as their own power became evident once they took action.

Dealing with level 2 Fierce Beasts indeed wasn’t a problem.

"Still, we must be careful. Although we easily killed level 2 Fierce Beasts, the consumption of our Telekinesis is also significant," Qin Fan remained rather calm and not overly proud.

"Old Fan is right, I’ve used up nearly half my Telekinesis," Lu Ke nodded, reining in her prideful thoughts.

"Let’s go, continue forward. If the number of Fierce Beasts is small, a few of us will be enough," Qin Fan said, then continued heading west.

They hoped to encounter herbivorous Fierce Beasts, which would allow them to acquire six more mounts.

Xu Yi was right; they couldn’t afford to maintain more Fierce Beasts now.

The six Fierce Beasts they currently had consumed over a hundred pounds of raw meat daily.

As for the 12 of them, they also needed nearly a hundred pounds of meat per day. So, they couldn’t afford to keep more carnivorous Fierce Beasts.

Normally, it would take two Fierce Beasts’ worth of meat per day.

If they didn’t catch any prey for three to five days, they’d begin to worry.

"Stop, did you hear anything?" Lu Ke suddenly raised her hand, signaling for everyone to stop.

After all, her hearing was extraordinary.

"No," Qin Fan listened intently for a while, then shook his head, as only Lu Ke and Xu Yi had enhanced hearing, while the rest had relatively normal hearing.

Nevertheless, their hearing was much better than that of an ordinary person.

"Over there, it sounds like other challengers are dealing with Fierce Beasts," Lu Ke said after pausing.

"Is it those disgusting people from Jerry’s group again?" Wang Jin frowned. The last time they encountered those people, they found them repulsive. Clearly, they had asked for help, but once they took action, they turned around and fled.

At that time, they were struggling to deal with so many Fierce Beasts. If any mistake had occurred, they might have been wiped out. So, Wang Jin was quite displeased with Jerry’s subordinates.

"It may not necessarily be Jerry’s gang; perhaps it’s another team," Qin Fan said, then glanced at Lu Ke, and continued, "Let’s go over and take a look, but don’t act rashly."

Everyone followed Lu Ke, riding towards the source of the sound.

After a few minutes, they saw several groups of people surrounding four Fierce Beasts.

Their Telekinesis was almost depleted, and they would likely be hunted soon.

However, when the others saw Lu Ke and the others arrive, they immediately became nervous, dispatching a dozen people to guard against Lu Ke and her group.

After all, Lu Ke and her group were riding Fierce Beasts.

If they were to make a move and snatch them, they might not be able to withstand it.

Six Fierce Beasts, they hadn’t faced that many. Moreover, besides the Fierce Beasts, there were 11 powerful humans.

Wouldn’t only 11 people dare to act in the jungle if they weren’t strong?

"Isn’t Xu Yi here?" Ivica stepped out of the crowd and noticed that Xu Yi wasn’t among them, so she inquired with a hint of curiosity.

"He’s nearby looking for plants," Qin Fan explained.

"Will he come over?" Ivica smiled at Qin Fan, brushing her hair back.

"No, unless a conflict breaks out between us," Qin Fan smiled slightly.

Ivica breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that Qin Fan and his group harbored no immediate hostility. Then her eyes glinted as she continued to ask, "Has anyone in your group advanced to a level 2 Mage?"

"Yes, and what about you guys?" Qin Fan queried smoothly.

"Not yet, but my brother is on the verge of breaking through," Ivica said, glancing back at Lei Jie.

"Then I’d like to congratulate you," Qin Fan said, tugging on the rein as he prepared to leave.

They hadn’t planned to seize Ivica’s Fierce Beasts nor to engage in any conflict, so they could leave.

"Wait, we could collaborate with you. Our group has the largest numbers, and working together would be safer for everyone. Soon, we could enter the area with level 3 Fierce Beasts, enabling everyone to advance quickly," Ivica said passionately.

"Thank you, but we aren’t planning to take any risks right now," Qin Fan declined directly, knowing that neither Xu Yi nor he preferred collaborating with others.

"Then could we do a trade? We’re interested in mounts. Name your price. We know Xu Yi is a Divine Master, capable of taming Fierce Beasts, and we can accept any price," Ivica said, wanting more than collaboration. She desired to win over Xu Yi’s affection, making him her man.

At that point, she would possess everything that Xu Yi had.
