"Oh? A finders-keepers rule?"
Lin Fan paused, eyeing Zhou Dongbo with great interest.
In his hand, he dragged along a Seventh Rank Demon Ape inner core, emitting a tempting essence!
"Gulp!"
Zhou Dongbo swallowed hard, desire and greed flickering briefly in his eyes, nodding and saying: "That’s right! Finders-keepers. The value of this Seventh Rank Demon Beast inner core is at least a hundred thousand Spirit Stones! Are you really planning to keep it all to yourself?"
If Lin Fan had been at the Nascent Soul Stage in his cultivation, Zhou Dongbo would definitely not dare to say such a thing!
But now.
The strength Lin Fan had just displayed was rely at the early stage of the Golden Core!
Still a minor realm lower than him!
Zhou Dongbo believed that Lin Fan relied on that Spiritual Treasure, the Xuanyuan Sword - leveraging its terrifying attack power, to catch the Seventh Rank Demon Ape by surprise and slay it!
"You! Zhou Dongbo, aren’t you going too far? He was the one who killed the Seventh Rank Demon Ape, and you guys were already planning to escape! What does the Seventh Rank Demon Ape have to do with you?" Dantai Ao Xue was so angry that she trembled.
I’ve seen shaless people!
But I’ve never seen such shalessness!
What no one expected was
Suddenly.
Lin Fan spoke.
"Alright then, co and take it!"
As he spoke, Lin Fan extended a hand, holding out the Demon Ape’s Seventh Rank inner core.
"Gulp!"
Zhou Dongbo swallowed hard again, his eyes filled with greed.
His gaze was firmly fixed on the Seventh Rank Demon Ape’s inner core!
"Ah? You?"
Dantai Ao Xue’s beautiful eyes flashed with deep astonishnt.
Then, astonishnt turned to disappointnt!
In her view, Lin Fan was really a coward!
Too cowardly!
To actually hand over the inner core of the Demon Beast he had slain?
If this wasn’t cowardice, what was?
’Sigh! I thought you were sobody special! I didn’t expect you to be such a coward!’ Dantai Ao Xue was utterly disappointed, shaking her head inwardly.
Zhou Dongbo, Nie Wenlun, Gu Anrong, and Wang Bingxuan, on the other hand, were all deeply enticed!
Gu Anrong’s fingers were tightly clenched together.
Wang Bingxuan’s cold and frosty face also began to flush with excitent!
Nie Wenlun breathed heavily, a low sound emanating from his throat!
It was a Seventh Rank Demon Beast’s inner core, after all!
Valued at a hundred thousand Spirit Stones!
"Alright! Then I’ll take it!"
Zhou Dongbo grinned, his smile radiant.
’Hahaha! What a fool! But, in a way, you are still a smart person! Knowing you’re not powerful enough, so you obediently hand over the inner core! Boy, it’s just unfortunate that you’re outclassed, at the early Golden Core stage? Hehe!’ Zhou Dongbo was gleeful inwardly.
One step...
Two steps...
Three steps...
He approached Lin Fan quickly.
"Sigh!"
Dantai Ao Xue let out a light sigh, her heart filling with even more disappointnt.
What no one noticed was the hint of mockery and amusent in the depths of Lin Fan’s eyes.
And a trace...
Of disdain!
Everyone was captivated by the Seventh Rank Demon Ape’s inner core!
Very soon.
Zhou Dongbo arrived in front of Lin Fan, only two ters away.
At this mont, Zhou Dongbo, unable to wait, raised his hand and reached for the Seventh Rank Demon Ape’s inner core in Lin Fan’s hand.
One ter...
Half a ter...
One quarter of a ter!
Just as Zhou Dongbo was about to get his hands on the Seventh Rank Demon Ape’s inner core!
Only a hair’s breadth away!
Suddenly.
"Snap!"
A sharp sound, crisp to the extre.
In an instant, it reached everyone’s ears!
In the silent Demon Forest, it was incredibly piercing!
Following this grating noise, Zhou Dongbo flew backward, falling heavily to the ground along the path he ca from!
A clear palm print appeared on Zhou Dongbo’s cheek, shocking to behold!
"This..."
Nie Wenlun, Gu Anrong, and Wang Bingxuan were stunned in place, still not processing what happened.
"Huh?"
A surprise flashed in Dantai Ao Xue’s beautiful eyes as she stared at Lin Fan in amazent.
’Could it be that I just now...misunderstood him? He isn’t cowardly, but rather...playing Zhou Dongbo?’
Dantai Ao Xue’s opinion on Lin Fan changed in an instant!
In the midst of dead silence!
"You really dare to take it?" Lin Fan’s tone was filled with mockery.
Before he struck down the Ninth Rank Demon Ape, he had already seen Zhou Dongbo’s true colors!
Not only was he despicable, but he also abandoned his teammates at a crucial mont!
Such a person, if he were in the Border 0 of the Kunlun Ruins, would definitely be dead without a doubt!
"You dare to hit ! You actually dare to hit ?"
Zhou Dongbo got up from the ground, covering his cheek, and let out a low growl like a wild beast, glaring fiercely at Lin Fan.
In his eyes, fury burned as resentnt, viciousness, and hatred flashed one after another!
"Do you know who I am? I am from the Taixu Realm, a mber of the Zhou Family of the Jin’an Continent! My clan has a Nascent Soul Stage ancestor, and you dared to hit ?"
Lin Fan did not respond to Zhou Dongbo’s words.
Instead.
He raised his hand again.
A slap through the air!
Once more lashed out!
"Slap——!"
Another crisp sound rang out, and Zhou Dongbo spun around seven or eight tis on the spot before sitting down heavily on the ground.
This slap was more effective than any reply!
Shocking!
Astonishing!
Inconceivable!
Everyone was surprised as they looked at Lin Fan; no one expected Lin Fan’s temper to be so explosive!
So...unfathomable!
Dantai Ao Xue glanced at Lin Fan, finding his temperant quite to her liking.
Brutal and terse, whenever possible, act without needless words!
Indeed.
After this slap, Zhou Dongbo stopped talking; he knew that if he spoke again, Lin Fan would act and he would only be disgracing himself.
And at this ti.
Cao Yang slowly stood up and walked over to Lin Fan.
From the mont Cao Yang was injured, he quietly tended to his wounds without saying a word.
He knew that when seriously injured, any talk is a waste of ti; it’s better to focus on healing to grab that glimr of hope for survival!
Now.
Since the Ninth Rank Demon Ape had been killed by Lin Fan, the imdiate crisis was temporarily averted, and Cao Yang ca to his senses from healing.
"Thank you, young man, for your life-saving grace! My na is Cao Yang; I am the leader of this team. My teammates were completely deluded just now! I hope you won’t mind! Here, I apologize to you on his behalf, and also thank you for saving our lives!" Cao Yang said, bowing deeply to Lin Fan.
After speaking, Cao Yang called out loudly.
"Zhou Dongbo, aren’t you going to co over and apologize to our savior?"
Zhou Dongbo’s face turned extrely ugly.
"Why should I? Even if he didn’t save my life, I wasn’t the target of the Ninth Rank Demon Ape; why should I apologize to him?" Zhou Dongbo’s tone was full of resentnt.
Defiant!
Extrely defiant!
"Hmph! Even if you could escape the pursuit of the Ninth Rank Demon Ape, tell , could you escape from the Demon Beast Forest? If you don’t apologize, fine! From this mont on, you, Zhou Dongbo, are no longer a mber of my team!" Cao Yang snorted coldly.
His voice was icy to the core!
And it didn’t sound like a joke.
Zhou Dongbo’s heart clenched.
If he were expelled from the team, it would be a death sentence!
Deep within a hundred miles of the Demon Beast Forest, with Zhou Dongbo’s cultivation level, he wouldn’t be able to make it out of the forest alone.
The only outco would be death!
In the end, Zhou Dongbo compromised.
His eyes filled with humiliation and reluctance, he walked up to Lin Fan and bowed at a ninety-degree angle, "I’m...sorry! I know I was wrong! Please...please forgive !"
