"What kind of flower is this?"
In the cave, Xu Fan gazed intently at the white flower in front of him, emitting a faint glow.
Xu Fan had seen many strange and unusual things, especially after encountering the Mo Family's Treasure Record, he felt that the world was full of wonders. However, this was the first ti he had seen a flower that could glow.
Moreover, Xu Fan vaguely sensed a weak energy fluctuation from this small flower.
"No matter what kind of flower it is, I'll put it away for now."
Without any hesitation, Xu Fan promptly placed the white flower into his storage ring, secretly resolving to thoroughly study the knowledge about various treasures next ti he entered such ruins.
Without a background, this wasn't the first ti Xu Fan felt the existence of a ceiling. Although Xu Fan's strength was outstanding among his peers, even unparalleled, in other domains, he was sowhat lacking.
At tis, these things could be extrely deadly!
The white flower in Xu Fan's hand was not quite deadly, but it did cause him a bit of a headache.
He knew it was a treasure, yet he was clueless about its specific use, only capable of stashing it into the storage ring...
Shaking his head, Xu Fan temporarily pushed these thoughts aside and instead pondered the matter of the exotic beast.
There were no signs of exotic beasts living in the cave, but there were so claw marks. Xu Fan had traced the signs of the exotic beast to this place, indicating that the exotic beast discovered the white flower even before Xu Fan.
However, for so reason Xu Fan was unaware of, the exotic beast didn't consu the white flower but instead suddenly went berserk, chasing after the people ten miles away.
"Could it be that the exotic beast sensed the presence of this white flower, so it erged from the depths of the ruins to co here?"
"And after arriving here, it hadn't had a chance to consu the flower before sensing the presence of Huang Dong and others and, fearing the flower would be snatched, went wild?"
In an instant, Xu Fan dismissed this idea as well.
Since the exotic beast had found the flower, regardless of its temper, it wouldn't have left it there and gone to pursue Huang Dong and his group ten miles away; that defied logic!
Whether the exotic beast thought Huang Dong wanted to steal the white flower or felt its dignity was challenged by Huang Dong's presence and wanted to eradicate them, at the very least, it should have taken the white flower with it or consud it.
"Forget it, let's not overthink it for now."
With too few clues available, Xu Fan gave up speculating about the exotic beast after pondering for a while.
"Maybe this was just an accident and shouldn't affect my plans."
After all, there was only one exotic beast, and its power was not too strong for Xu Fan. He could eliminate it anyti, so its impact on his plan was minimal.
With Xu Fan's strength, since entering the ruins, he could virtually roam unhindered! Yet Xu Fan remained extrely low-key along the way because... he felt this journey to the ruins might be anything but simple!
Huang Dong's warning that out of the hundred people in the ruins this year, no more than ten would make it out alive was initially ant to scare everyone into submission. However, to Xu Fan, it sounded like a prediction.
Because... Xu Fan had heard about the Bronze Box.
Every ti the Bronze Box surfaced, it was never peaceful. The secrets related to the Bronze Box had terrifying influence!
The prediction that fewer than ten people would make it out of the ruins this ti might actually co true!
Therefore, upon hearing about the Bronze Box, Xu Fan imdiately changed his original plan to seek opportunities and breakthroughs, instead focusing on the Bronze Box.
Xu Fan didn't intend to seize the Bronze Box but wanted to quietly observe and, hopefully, uncover the mysteries hidden within the Bronze Box!
This was the real reason Xu Fan remained concealed among Huang Dong's group!
"I wonder how they're doing now... The exotic beast has already shown its weakness. With a bunch of super geniuses, they shouldn't all be wiped out, right?"
With this thought, Xu Fan moved unobtrusively towards where the others were gathered.
Considering Xu Fan's temperant, he had no intention of retaliating against those who mocked him, let alone injuring the exotic beast for their sake.
The reason was simple; Xu Fan didn't take their mockery seriously, but they were crucial to his plan. If they were all dead, Xu Fan's identity might not stay hidden.
Ten miles vanished in the blink of an eye.
Ahead, a loud thud echoed as sothing crashed to the ground, followed by enthusiastic cheers.
Apparently, the exotic beast had been defeated!
The crowd consisted of super geniuses with formidable strength; despite the exotic beast's fearso nature, its exposed weakness led to this unsurprising outco for Xu Fan.
"Hahaha! That exotic beast wasn't so scary after all! Under Brother Huang's leadership, no matter how formidable the beast was, didn't we run circles around it?"
"Brother Huang is indeed the most outstanding young talent from the West, truly unparalleled in his exceptional deanor this ti!"
"That's right! For decades of relic openings, no one has ever defeated an exotic beast. All geniuses beca souls claid by the beast's claws, yet under Brother Huang's leadership, we accomplished such a feat!"
"If we make it out of the ruins and word spreads, Brother Huang's fa will be unbeatable. Even Xu Fan, the first on the Earth List, will likely have to bow and surrender the first place!"
The crowd's flattery was overwhelmingly directed at Huang Dong. Although Huang Dong felt imnse pride, he maintained a humble deanor, repeatedly bowing and exchanging pleasantries with everyone.
"Thank you, brothers, for your courtesy. Slaying the exotic beast was the result of all our efforts together. How could I, Huang Dong alone, defeat such a terrifying beast?"
Hahaha!
Everyone burst into laughter.
After enduring this fierce battle, everyone realized the importance of teamwork. If they hadn't banded together, cooperated seamlessly, they all might have perished under the beast's claws today!
Therefore, even though Huang Dong was extrely pretentious, everyone still showed a submissive attitude.
Huang Dong naturally understood this well, and having been the first to flee earlier, he was now more enthusiastic and considerate towards everyone.
For a while, the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere, so much so that the wounds on their bodies and the loss of a few companions seed insignificant.
However, with Xu Fan's appearance, the joyous air abruptly halted.
