Is that Guodong and them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It has to be them, who else could it be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But where on earth did they get so many wildebeests?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, one, two, three...\" Someone’s eyes widened, voice trembling, \"Twenty-five, exactly twenty-five wildebeests!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty-five, how much money is that worth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people stammered in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These wildebeests don’t seem ordinary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone exclaimed, \"They have saddles and reins, they look like they’re for riding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, riding wildebeests?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Riding wildebeests?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere immediately fell silent again, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zhang Ren couldn’t remain calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren’t those mounts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years ago, mounts couldn’t compare to modern vehicles, but now things were different; the wilderness was Paradise to fierce beasts. Highways and even rail tracks were destroyed beyond recognition, buried in the wild grasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such conditions, to travel afar, you needed a high-clearance, powerful car, otherwise, it would break down halfway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But mounts were different, they were faster, more enduring, and didn’t need gasoline, the wilderness was their natural grazing ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How on earth did Guodong and them manage to get so many mounts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ren was deeply shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a corner of the crowd, a black-haired woman also widened her eyes, but unlike most, she vaguely guessed where these wildebeests came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are these the mounts of those bandits?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Yu’s heart trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There seemed to be no other explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, a smile appeared on her face. Ever since the Hunting Team set out in the morning, she had been worried. Despite Chen Fan’s confident demeanor, those were over thirty bandits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that Chen Fan or anyone else could really be their match?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before her provided the answer. Chen Fan not only brought everyone back unscathed but also defeated those murderous bandits, capturing over twenty wildebeest mounts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if some of the bandits escaped, they shouldn’t pose much of a threat anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, under the heated gazes of the crowd, Chen Guodong and the others walked with their horses to the front of the stronghold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re back, everyone has been waiting for us, haven’t they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Guodong said warmly with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was silent for a moment before erupting into thunderous cheers, like welcoming returning heroes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the noise finally subsided, someone couldn’t help but ask, \"Guodong, what exactly happened on your way? How did you bring back so many wildebeests?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, Guodong brother, what’s this all about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell us quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading their horses, the group crossed the drawbridge and returned to the stronghold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drawbridge was immediately raised to block any prying eyes from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is really a thrilling story. Thanks to Xiaofan, not only did we overcome the danger, but we also brought back so many wildebeests,\" Chen Guodong said with a smile, recalling the events made his heart tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swish,\" countless eyes turned to focus on Chen Fan, filled with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Fan, you’re amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ping and others immediately shouted excitedly, they had guessed the wildebeests were closely related to Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and waved, his gaze inadvertently meeting Meng Yu’s. He gave a gentle smile, making her blush and lower her head quickly, but a smile couldn’t help but creep onto her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Liu Yong had already begun to recount their adventures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone listened with bated breath, looking at the wildebeests with less excitement and more awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it really that dangerous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of them had seen the cruelty of bandits first-hand, some even lost loved ones to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, over thirty bandits were killed, one by one by Chen Fan’s arrows, without a single survivor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Fan is too fierce!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ping was dumbfounded; one man took down over thirty bandits, who were almost fully armed, and not only killed them but also brought back their mounts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, truly, skill gives courage,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Feng remarked, his lips moved involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were in Chen Fan’s shoes, facing a rushing assailant, he couldn’t even think of drawing a bow, let alone running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That said, it was also full of dangers, a single mistake could have cost everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, these mounts were hard-earned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People began to calm down, deeply moved by the sight of the wildebeests before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ren glanced at Chen Fan with a nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan never ceased to amaze him, especially this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows, given more time to grow, what kind of person he might become?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought with a sigh, eyes filled with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Yu,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Guodong addressed the sturdy man beside him, \"We’re counting on you to teach us how to ride these horses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze, eyes alight with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if we all learn to ride, we could move swiftly, making hunting and trading much easier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, leave it to me,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excess Power laughed, \"I’ll also take care of feeding them, but Guodong, you’ll need to assign more people to help, I can’t manage all these wildebeests alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, his presence in the team was minimal, mostly just carrying prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he found a stage to showcase his skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry about manpower, I’ll arrange for it,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Guodong nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the stronghold lacked adult men, there were plenty of women and children who could help cut grass and feed the wildebeests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, that’s a relief,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excess Power was delighted, \"As long as we take good care of them, our stronghold won’t lack wildebeests in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was thrilled to hear this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, there were quite a few mares among this herd, soon enough, there could be foals in the stronghold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, there might even be more horses than riders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discussing, Chen Guodong began distributing grain and salt amid an atmosphere filled with laughter. Everyone’s faces glowed with hope for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those who had just joined from the Gu Family Stronghold, they felt a sense of security in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staying at the Chen Family Stronghold was indeed much more hopeful than in the Gu Family Stronghold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Fan let out a breath of relief, nodding to Wang Ping and the others, then carrying a large bag of spoils, he called his mother and younger brother and returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chen’s eyes sparkled looking at the table full of all sorts of items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Fang covered her mouth, eyes also revealing disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knives, toilet paper, nail clippers, lighters, matches, and various spices, even anti-inflammatory and fever medicines!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These items, which were commonplace ten years ago, had become precious now, at least to those living in the stronghold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaofan, these were all from the bandits?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Fang looked over, her eyes filled with both joy and trepidation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded with a smile, \"Mom, take whatever you want, I’ll give the rest away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, he had to give some to Uncle Zhang, then to Meng Yu. Wang Ping, Zhao Feng, and a few others would also receive some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Fang nodded, carefully selecting about half of the items, then smiled at Chen Fan, \"This should do, you can give the rest to others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Mom, this is for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan took out two bars of soap from another bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Fang’s eyes immediately brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, these are for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan took out several items from the bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow!

By the way, Dad also seems to have bought something for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Fang was taken aback, feeling both nervous and expectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan packed up the remaining items and walked out of the house, deciding to find Meng Yu first as he had a favor to ask of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached the outside of her house, the door was open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough cough,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan cleared his throat, \"Miss Meng Yu, are you there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, yes,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A female voice came from inside, followed by a figure rushing to the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I brought you some things, may I come in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please come in,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Yu said quickly, her face turning red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan placed the bundle on the table, opened it, and made a gesture, \"Feel free to choose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Yu seemed a bit confused, her eyes fixed on the table items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though these were old, used items, she hadn’t owned anything so fine before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she spotted some spices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure I can choose anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>",1543,"2026-06-06T15:42:49.905Z",1,"novelbin.me","4d3538f99750b0d7d4fa696097c523de9dc1899d5aaa89d15fa3be1430873e00","high-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-chapter-97","high-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-chapter-95",808,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-cover.jpg"]
