Chapter 123: Chapter 97: Gangzi’s Previous Guardian Beastmaster

Translator: 549690339

Standing on the back of Golden Gyrfalcon, Chen Fan felt that Gangzi in his arms grew more anxious…

Gangzi’s body was trembling uncontrollably.

It buried its head in Chen Fan’s chest, but constantly peeked out to look ahead.

Even Snowy sensed Gangzi’s abnormal behavior and looked at him a couple of times.

Chen Fan frowned and asked, “Golden Gyrfalcon, can we fly faster?”

Golden Gyrfalcon chirped and increased its speed, flying into the gale.’

Soon, screams and sounds of fighting could be heard.

In the distance below, more than twenty tall Snow Demons were besieging five young men and women!

Although each of the five had a Guardian Beast, one of which was even Level 6, they were all injured and in danger!

Chen Fan’s eyes moved slightly, and he ordered, “Golden Gyrfalcon, go down!” Golden Gyrfalcon flapped its wings and quickly descended.

Chen Fan had seen images and information about Snow Demons before coming here.

They were creatures with snow-white hair all over their bodies, resembling apes in appearance.

However, Snow Demons were much larger and taller than normal apes, and walked upright like humans.

They were the most common monsters in the 1st Secret Realm of the Eastern

Sea.

Most Snow Demons’ skills were not very strong, mainly involving physical damage. With some distance, they could be completely overwhelmed by magic skills at the same level.

But they liked to live in groups, appearing in large numbers.

Snow Demons were cunning and tricky, and they liked to use their white hair to ambush humans or other monsters in the snowy ground.

When the 1st Secret Realm was first opened, the pioneer teams had suffered heavy losses from such ambushes.

Even later when it was known that Snow Demons liked to hide in the snow, many people still fell for their tricks… after all, not everyone’s Guardian Beasts had strong perception.

In short, Snow Demons were a headache for both Guardian Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists.

Teams entering the 1st Secret Realm of the Eastern Sea usually equipped a perception-type Guardian Beast, otherwise they were easily ambushed and besieged by Snow Demons.

The training area of War God Academy was located at the outermost periphery of the 1st Secret Realm, where Snow Demons were relatively scarce, and the levels were also lower.

New students who had just started their cultivation were no match for higher-level Snow Demons.

But after the Harpy nest, they were close to Circular Mountain, an area with frequent appearances of Level 4 and 5 Snow Demons.

Chen Fan looked away from the Snow Demons and glanced at Gangzi in his arms…

At this moment, Gangzi had raised his head and was looking down at the battlefield below.

Its eyes were bloodshot, its fur standing on end, and its fangs exposed!

This was similar to the situation when it saw the Wind Wolf King…

The only difference was that it was more restless and agitated!

Whoo!

When Golden Gyrfalcon was about seven or eight meters off the ground, Gangzi roared angrily and jumped out of Chen Fan’s arms, then rushed into the battlefield!

Roar!

Gangzi let out an angry roar, and without using the “Purple Crystal Spike,” pounced directly on the back of a Snow Demon, biting off its neck!

Reinforcements arrive!

The previously desperate five were overjoyed.

However, one bloodied woman, upon seeing Gangzi, suddenly covered her mouth and wailed in pain!

Snowy, Feicui, Elder Ape, go down and help Gangzi!”

As soon as Golden Gyrfalcon landed, Chen Fan said seriously, “Ye Hao, let

Huahua heal the injured people and their Guardian Beasts, and let the Orange-Red Poisonous Spider and Heavenly Waste Divine Bull disperse the Snow Demons! ”

“Alright!” Ye Hao nodded slightly and summoned his Guardian Beasts.

Like fierce tigers, the Guardian Beasts pounced on the group of Snow Demons.

Just with Golden Gyrfalcon alone, they could easily kill this large group of Snow Demons.

But seeing Gangzi’s reckless fighting and the tearful woman in the crowd

below, Chen Fan did not immediately issue commands, instead letting Snowy

and the others go down to help Gangzi fight.

Boom!

Chen Fan jumped off the back of Golden Gyrfalcon.

Due to Snowy and Ye Hao’s interference, the twenty or so Snow Demons retreated with a scream.

A Snow Demon with a strand of black hair on its forehead was staring at Golden Gyrfalcon with narrowed eyes in the back.

Under its signal, several Snow Demons slinked over, attempting to break through Snowy’s defenses and kill Golden Gyrfalcon.

A leader, huh?

Chen Fan’s eyes grew cold.

The Level-6 Snow Demon’s Combat Power Level, was displayed on the monster attribute panel.

Among the remaining Snow Demons, there were only two Level 5 demons, with the rest being Level 4.

The five trapped individuals each had a Guardian Beast, one being the Level 6 Liekong Niu.

But Liekong Niu had obviously been through a fierce battle, its whole body wounded and barely holding on!

Hiss!

On the other side, the angry Gangzi suddenly pounced at the Snow Demon leader!

However, the Snow Demon leader didn’t even bother looking at a Bald Head Brother like Gangzi.

Instead, it retreated, its sharp claw flashing with white light as it forcibly attacked Gangzi’s head!

Shush!

As the Snow Demon leader’s claw was about to strike, Golden Gyrfalcon’s eyes flashed ruthlessly, and its two Feather Arrows shot out, instantly piercing its chest! Blood spurted out!

woo!

The Snow Demon leader looked at its chest in disbelief.

It had already sensed Golden Gyrfalcon’s immense threat, but still underestimated the gap in their strength.

Before it could react, Gangzi pounced on it and bit its neck!

Boom boom boom!

The Snow Demon leader and Gangzi fell to the ground, rolling around on the snowy ground!

Snowy and Elder Ape rushed over from left and right to help.

But as they kept rolling around, Snowy and Elder Ape couldn’t find an opportunity to assist for the time being.

Seeing their leader injured, the surrounding Snow Demons roared and rushed over.

Feicui let out a gust of wind, sending a group of Snow Demons on the right flying.

On the left side, Ye Hao led his three Guardian Beasts on the offensive, and in a blink of an eye, they wiped out five Snow Demons, scaring the others from getting any closer!

“Bang!”

The Snow Demon leader, who could not stop coughing up blood, struggled to stand up and slapped Gangzi on the back, causing his Purple Crystal Armor to crack!

“Xiaohuan!”

The woman who had just been crying in the crowd behind screamed and tried to rush over but was held back by others.

Chen Fan glanced at the woman but said nothing.

At this moment, Elder Ape approached and reached out with both claws, grabbing the wrists of the Snow Demon leader!

Snowy took the opportunity to rush over, a Thunder Blade flashing with electric light, fiercely slashing down!

“Puchi! ”

The Snow Demon leader’s two front claws were cut off by the Thunder Blade!

“Wu ah!”

The Snow Demon leader screamed in pain!

Elder Ape and Snowy stepped back instead, not attacking further.

Even a Level 6 Snow Demon would be no match for Gangzi, having lost its hands!

As expected, Gangzi’s body was surrounded by surging purple energy…

With a “crack,” he bit off the Snow Demon leader’s neck!

The other Snow Demons were terrified and tried to escape.

Chen Fan gave a slight nod to the Golden Gyrfalcon: “Kill them all, do not leave a single one!”

The Golden Gyrfalcon immediately took off into the sky.

With a shower of golden Feather Arrows unleashed, the large group of Snow Demons was wiped out in just a few moments!

The five injured people and their Guardian Beasts looked on, filled with shock and joy!

As for the woman who was still crying in the background, she slowly knelt down, covering her face with her hands…

Tears and blood flowed from her fingers, dripping onto the snowy ground.

On the other side, Gangzi, who had killed the Snow Demon leader, tilted his head slightly upon hearing the cry, as if wanting to turn around.

But in the end, he did not turn his head, simply staring dazedly at the Snow Demon leader’s corpse on the ground.

Elder Ape saw that Gangzi’s eyes were already brimming with tears, and he silently stepped forward, crouching down and gently patting Gangzi’s head. Snowy also came over and gently touched Gangzi with his front paw.

Feicui looked at Gangzi and then at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan silently walked over to the five rescued people.

From the five, a middle-aged man stepped forward, showing reverence as he bowed to Chen Fan: “Thank you, young brother, for your righteous help!”

“If it weren’t for your arrival, we would surely be dead!”

Chen Fan nodded slightly but didn’t say anything, passing by the middle-aged man and standing in front of the still-crying woman.

By now, it was clear to him that the woman before him was Gangzi’s former Guardian Beastmaster!

The one who had abandoned Gangzi!

In the past, Chen Fan had thought that if he ever met Gangzi’s former Guardian Beastmaster, he would slap her twice!

But now, the woman before him was dressed in rags, covered in injuries and blood, and still could not stop crying…

Even her nearby Level 3 Fire Turtle was barely alive.

In the end, Chen Fan could not bring himself to slap her.

After silently watching the woman for a while, Chen Fan turned around and walked back to Gangzi.

Gangzi was also crying…

Shedding silent tears.

After staying with Chen Fan, he had become much happier, sometimes even competing with Snowy for Chen Fan’s attention.

But this time, it was as if the scab on his wound had been ripped off, causing intense pain!

All the misunderstandings, abandonment, sadness, and loneliness Gangzi had experienced in the past… all the pain and unbearable feelings surged up!

The domineering and willful Gangzi seemed like a child at this moment, shedding tears nonstop.

Chen Fan crouched down and held Gangzi in his arms, wiping the tears from his eyes with a tissue.

After quite some time, when Gangzi had calmed down slightly, Chen Fan gently said, “Go and see her…”

Gangzi heard Chen Fan’s words, mustered up his courage, and glanced over at the woman.

Then, timidly, he looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan nodded slightly, his eyes full of encouragement.

With newfound courage, Gangzi slowly walked toward the woman.

The scene fell into an extreme silence.

Only the sound of Gangzi walking on the snowy ground could be heard…

Gangzi stood in front of the woman, silently watching her without making a sound.

Feeling something, the woman who was still crying and covering her face slowly raised her head.

The moment she saw Gangzi…

Tears welled up in her eyes again, “Xiaohuan…”

Hearing this long-lost name, Gangzi’s body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head, seeming reluctant to look at the woman.

The woman reached out her hand to touch Gangzi’s head. Gangzi tried to dodge, but she still managed to touch his head.

“I’m sorry…”

With tears streaming down her face, the woman cried out, “I’m sorry!” Gangzi’s eyes brimmed with tears, and he slowly shook his head.

The woman could no longer control herself, and she hugged him tightly, sobbing loudly.

After quite some time, her crying finally subsided.

She raised her head, looked at Chen Fan who had walked over, and said softly,

“Thank you… Thank you, Chen Fan.”

Chen Fan was slightly taken aback: “You know me?”
