Chapter 273: Chapter 272: Perhaps, I Can Do It Too (Seeking Subscriptions)
"Is that so."
Chen Fan’s face showed a hint of solemnity.
With his mastery of three archery techniques, he was confident that he could shoot and kill a commander-level Fierce Beast from several kilometers away with one arrow.
If he could elevate the Golden Bell Shield to the 12th Floor, or bring the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to the Perfection Realm, no number of Fierce Beasts would intimidate him.
But if a Beast King-level Fierce Beast were to appear in the Beast Tide, it would be troublesome.
Though the possibility wasn’t high.
After all, even commander-level Fierce Beasts had command capabilities, let alone a Beast King-level above them.
If he were such a level of Fierce Beast, he wouldn’t waste his energy on a small city. Those mid-to-large cities would be their targets.
However, one must still be vigilant.
And Meng Xue’s current condition was indeed worrisome.
Earlier, her breath was even weaker than an ordinary person’s, like a flickering candle in the wind, at risk of blowing out any moment.
"Sister."
Tears welled up in Meng Yu’s eyes again, and a thought emerged in her mind.
Could it be that her sister would leave her again soon?
And this time, it might be forever?
Meng Xue stroked her face with a smile, filled with reluctance in her heart.
"Isn’t there any way?"
Chen Fan asked.
"A way?"
"Yes, a way to restore you."
Chen Fan said, "Your current state is the result of severely overextending your life force. So, does the Awakened Association have anything that can replenish life force?"
Meng Xue froze, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Because Chen Fan’s expression was very serious, like he wasn’t merely suggesting it.
The next moment, she shook her head with a bitter smile.
The Association did have such things, and taking them could make an ordinary person look twenty years younger all at once.
Just thinking about it made it clear that such things were extremely precious. Even A-level Awakeners would bleed heavily to buy just a drop.
That substance was the Essence of Life.
Usually, those at the top bought it to extend the lives of their loved ones who were nearing their lifespan’s end.
And Chen Fan wasn’t intimately connected with her and her sister; on the contrary, he was their benefactor. How could she be so greedy to ask for that?
So, no matter how Chen Fan asked next, she only smiled without speaking.
Meng Yu saw this and didn’t know what to say.
On one hand, she hoped Chen Fan could save her sister, but on the other hand, she knew that even if such a thing existed, it was extremely rare, and asking for it could endanger Chen Fan’s life.
Chen Fan could only sigh and say, "Besides this method, is there no other way? For instance, could you prolong your life by awakening again?"
As his words fell, Meng Xue’s smile froze, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
"Sister, this method works, doesn’t it?"
Excitedly, Meng Yu said.
Chen Fan squinted slightly and said, "Meng Xue, for Meng Yu’s sake, shouldn’t you find a way to stay alive? As for worrying about owing me, you don’t have to because saving your life would greatly help my future actions."
"Yes, sister, your superpower is much stronger than mine. If you can live, you can save many people. Sister, just tell us, there must be a way, right?"
Meng Yu gently shook her.
Meng Xue took a deep look at Chen Fan and nodded: "Your method could work, but the cost is high, and you will also be in danger."
"I am already used to danger."
Chen Fan said without hesitation.
After a long silence, Meng Xue finally spoke, "My condition is too bad. To awaken for the fourth time, I need to take six Celestial God Fruits consecutively."
After saying this, she felt uneasy.
That was no small number.
But if she could get them, she would successfully awaken for the fourth time,
then not only would her life span be extended by twenty years, but her precognition ability would also significantly improve.
"Six Celestial God Fruits."
Chen Fan’s pupils shrank slightly.
One fruit cost fifty thousand points, so six would be three hundred thousand!
Even for him, getting that many points wouldn’t be easy,
but at least there was a way, wasn’t there?
"Are you sure six Celestial God Fruits would be enough?"
Meng Xue was startled again.
"If six are enough, I’ll find a way to collect them."
Chen Fan said.
"Chen Fan, thank you, thank you."
Meng Yu’s eyes filled with gratitude upon hearing this.
She didn’t know what these Celestial God Fruits were, but from her sister’s expression, she could tell they were precious.
Yet Chen Fan did not hesitate at all and agreed immediately.
"It’s nothing. As I said before, your sister being alive is also a great help to me."
Chen Fan said straightforwardly. He didn’t deny that saving Meng Xue also had to do with valuing her superpower,
but he wasn’t Yan Ming, and wouldn’t do unscrupulous things,
Of course, if he obtained the Celestial God Fruits and Meng Xue disappeared without a trace, even if she fled to the ends of the earth, he would hunt her down and personally reclaim what he gave her.
"Thank you, Chen Fan."
At this moment, Meng Xue was also moved to tears.
After hesitating for a while, she said, "Actually, if you want to get six Celestial God Fruits quickly, I know a faster way."
"Oh?"
Chen Fan’s eyes lit up immediately, and he asked quickly, "What way?"
"I know the location of a Celestial God Tree."
Meng Xue explained, "There are twelve Celestial God Fruits on the tree, and they will mature in about two days."
"Twelve."
Chen Fan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
At fifty thousand points each, that would be six hundred thousand.
These fruits could significantly enhance one’s Spiritual Power. Although his Spiritual Power was already high, who would mind having more power?
"It won’t be easy to pick all of them, will it?"
Chen Fan asked.
"Yes, exactly," Meng Xue nodded. "Because the Beast Tide is about to break out, when the fruit ripens, it might attract commander-level Fierce Beasts. Also, do you remember the person with the clone superpower?"
"Are you saying he might come too?"
"Very likely."
Meng Xue said, "Yan Ming likely called him, intending to use the Celestial God Fruits to curry favor with him. So it’s very possible he already knows the location of the Celestial God Tree. Though I’m in poor condition now, I can try to foresee the future tomorrow. Most likely, you’ll encounter them. Having suffered losses before, they will definitely bring stronger help this time, you..."
"I understand."
Chen Fan responded.
If they brought stronger help, he also wouldn’t sit idle during this time.
Two days would be enough for him to elevate his realm to the True Essence Realm.
With the various Heart Methods, who knows how powerful his True Qi would become by then.
Seeing this, Meng Xue secretly made up her mind even more firmly.
Tomorrow, even if she had to risk what little life she had left, she would clearly see the events to come.
If Chen Fan were to face a huge crisis, then this plan would be abandoned.
The atmosphere was quiet for a minute or two.
Chen Fan broke the silence, "Is that all you have to say?"
"Yes, right, there’s one more thing I forgot. Little Yu, do you have paper and pen here?"
"Yes, I do."
Meng Yu turned to the cabinet and fetched paper and a pen.
"This is the list of Space Items that Yan Ming and his group possess, and the unlocking methods. You can look into them; there might be something useful for you."
Meng Xue said while writing quickly on the paper.
"Thanks."
Chen Fan said hurriedly.
There’s a chance that they might have used up the good items in their Space Items,
but the Space Items themselves were valuable,
and there’s always the possibility of finding something else inside that’s quite valuable.
"You’re welcome. This is the only way I can help you now."
Meng Xue said with a bitter smile, placing the written note before Chen Fan.
"Then, I’ll leave you two to your reunion. If anything comes up, you can call me anytime."
Chen Fan took the note and rose to his feet.
The two hurriedly escorted him to the door, watching his figure disappear from sight.
"Sister, I missed you so much."
Meng Yu turned around, choking up.
"Silly girl, I’m back now, aren’t I?"
Meng Xue sighed gently. She had seen all of Meng Yu’s hard work during this period,
knowing she was trying to become stronger to rescue her.
"Let’s talk inside."
"Okay, sister, I have so much to tell you."
Meng Yu chattered like a little bird, talking non-stop.
Meng Xue listened with a smile, but her thoughts had already drifted away.
...
Chen Fan didn’t linger in the village. After all, he had just returned in the morning, and hearing from Meng Yu that the events of ten years ago would repeat filled him with a heavy heart.
"This time, how many more people will die."
He stood outside Anshan City, looking at the two camps ahead, lost in thought.
In the face of the Beast Tide, even a seemingly impregnable Anshan City could fall in a matter of days,
let alone these small villages.
He shook his head, casting aside these negative thoughts,
realizing it was better to seize every moment to improve his power,
At least, he should focus on repelling the Beast Tide about to hit Anshan City first,
As for what comes after, whether it brings temporary peace or stronger Fierce Beast attacks, only time would tell.
If possible, he didn’t want to live as someone’s dependent, always on edge like a stray dog,
Since those Awakeners could develop their cities into havens in the apocalypse,
why couldn’t he?
Thinking of this, he felt a surge of energy and walked towards the gate of Anshan City with his head held high.
