Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 49: Return to Bei Xian City
Zhou Fan kept the beast crystal he had obtained, although it was not as large as the eighth level beast crystal he had obtained previously, it was still an eighth level beast crystal.
In addition to the crystal beast, Zhou Fan stored meat which was certainly very nutritious, and it could also be a resource for Zhou Jim.
Uh...
Zhou Fan glanced at his blood-filled clothes as well as some missing pieces slashed apart by the sky crystal crow attack.
"Fortunately this beast has just risen in level, otherwise it is very difficult even impossible for me now to subvert it." Zhou Fan was useful while changing his clothes.
Even so, facing the flying beast was extremely troublesome. Every time he wanted to attack, he would at least have to jump to enlarge the level of accuracy.
"A little over a year I've been in the high mountains, I don't know how Shao Mingrui is there, maybe the fight for the throne has become more and more intense." Zhou Fan stroked his chin, the young man then darted along with Zhou Jim about to Bei Xian City.
***
"Bei Xian City is now within the power of the eighth prince, the Shao Empire has really split into two." A middle-aged man said with a big sigh.
A black-robed man walked along with a small red dog, when his ears accidentally caught the conversation of some people around, he stopped and approached.
"I think the power struggle of the Shao Empire is still not finished, the two princes will definitely not be satisfied with only controlling half of the existing power."
The black-robed man, seen puffing his steps away, he looked at the little dog beside him.
"Jim, let's go to the third prince's residence."
The little dog instantly turned into a dashing wolf. They were none other than Zhou Fan as well as his companion, the red-Zhou Jim wolf.
Zhou Fan rode Zhou Jim towards the third prince's residence, it didn't take long for them to be at the gate of the residence that seemed open.
Without further ado Zhou Fan went inside, but his footsteps spontaneously stopped with a frozen facial expression.
"This - - "
Zhou Fan could not believe what he saw, the residence that a year ago became his shelter had now turned into a messy rubble.
His calm face, slowly turning black. Who would dare to do all this, how could this happen?
The young man lowered his hood, revealing a face full of emotion.
After all Shao Mingrui had become a brother to him, who was good to him naturally he should also care, that was his principle.
Zhou Fan shook his head, the young man then darted towards Shao Mingrui's room.
Glacial...
A secret door opened, without waiting any longer Zhou Fan traced it.
Looking at the road ahead there were some imprints imprinting, Zhou Fan felt like a cold wind was hitting him.
The secret door was a tunnel that Shao Mingrui had built, seeing that there were footprints visible, indicating that Shao Mingrui along with a few others were most likely to have survived.
Zhou Fan continued to follow where the tunnel had taken him, indeed he knew that it was a tunnel built to escape, but he did not know where this tunnel ended up.
Some time Zhou Fan could only see the road a few meters ahead, although it was not too dark, the tunnel still did not end.
No no no...
Zhou Fan heard the sound of a step, instead of hiding, the young man instead further accelerated his pace as the footsteps sounded like they were moving away from him, as if someone was walking in front of him.
Sure enough, a while later Zhou Fan was able to see the flame of the torch as well as the few people holding it.
"Stop!"
If so, this fellow should he get rid of.
But the person actually looked scared when he saw it, of course it attracted a strange view of the five people.
"Are you the third prince's army?" Zhou Fan asked in a somewhat low tone.
But the question was as if lightning had struck a tree, the faces of the group of people were getting pale and even the legs were trembling.
"Who are you? Is the man the eighth prince?" The middle-aged man who still looked rather calm ventured to say.
"It seems that they are indeed not part of the eighth prince's army, it is not impossible that they are Shao Mingrui's people." Zhou Fan sighed as if throwing away his vain attitude, he looked calmer.
Yet the five people still put on worried faces, making Zhou Fan once again sigh.
"Take me to the third prince's place." Zhou Fan threw his token, it was a special token he had as Shao Mingrui's foster brother.
The middle-aged man caught up and took a close look at the token Zhou Fan had given him. When he saw the emblem engraved there, he immediately bowed respectfully to meet his master.
As if understanding, the four others also followed what the middle-aged man was doing.
Zhou Fan frowned while shaking his head.
"Now can you take me to where the third prince is?" Zhou Fan once again asked and they immediately nodded in unison.
The five people stood up, walking to guide the way.
.

"I didn't think this tunnel was so long." They walked for a few hours, but did not reach their destination.
But when he was watching the sky tunnel, the middle-aged man said. "Sir, that's the exit."
Zhou Fan spontaneously lowered his gaze, seeing a small door the size of half his body, the young man instantly opened and entered into it.
As soon as he came out, it turned out to be a coastal area, meaning this tunnel brought him to where he had first landed on the Tian Hu mainland before.
"It should take hours, even with my running speed it would take at least tens of minutes to arrive." Zhou Fan stroked his chin while saying inwardly.
"Where is the third prince?" Zhou Fan looked back.
The middle-aged man threw the torch in his hand, because the situation was already bright and no longer needed a lighting aid.
Then the man was seen circulating his gaze to make sure, when he felt that there was no one other than them, he said in a soft voice. "Young master, please follow this old man."
They went back on a journey, entering a forest that was a little familiar to Zhou Fan's memory.
"This is the territory of the Mantis Tribe, are they currently hiding in the place of the Mantis Tribe?" Zhou Fan nodded in a curious tone.
"Sir, we're here."
Zhou Fan who did not pay much attention to the road, so he set his eyes forward, could see several buildings made of wood with wooden roofs adorning every corner of the forest surface.
Zhou Fan walked over. When he saw Shao Mingrui sitting together with a baby in his hand, the young man stopped in his place, carving out a meaningless smile.
"The life of an ugly person is always long."
