Chapter 177: Opportunity, Grudge

Chen Fan calmed his slightly disordered breathing and took the dragon egg out of the system's beast pet space.

The dragon egg rubbed against Chen Fan's face, appearing extremely affectionate.

"Alright, look at what that is." Chen Fan pointed at the Red-Scaled Mysterious Snake to the side.

The dragon egg appeared extremely excited, and with a 'whoosh', it flew to the top of the Red-Scaled Mysterious Snake's head.

Immediately after, a suction force emanated from the dragon egg, and not long after, the dragon bloodline within this corpse was completely absorbed.

Chen Fan looked over; the surface of the dragon egg appeared even more lustrous.

"It's just that I don't know how many strange beasts need to be absorbed to satisfy the conditions for hatching."

After Chen Fan muttered to himself, he put the dragon egg away and set off again.

However, after he walked a few hundred meters, he suddenly stopped his footsteps.

"That's not right! With my Tier 2 late-stage cultivation appearing within the territory of that Red-Scaled Mysterious Snake, it should have actively appeared to attack me. Why did it delay in appearing, and why was it ultimately forced out by me?" Chen Fan frowned and began to ponder.

"Unless it was unwilling to leave the lake water. Could there be something special in the lake?"

Once Chen Fan reached this thought, he turned around and headed back.

He prepared to investigate the lake water! Perhaps there would be an unexpected harvest.

One minute later, he returned to the lakeside again. Just as he was preparing to jump into the water, several voices came from not far away.

Chen Fan hurriedly dodged behind a giant rock and took out the Hidden Soul Bead, wearing it around his neck.

"That Red-Scaled Mysterious Snake was very cunning. If it weren't for the fact that I don't know how to swim, I would have entered the lake and killed it long ago. Where would there be a need for two brothers to help?"

"Lao Fang, did you have a stroke of good luck? A rare item like the Ice Soul Snow Lotus was actually discovered by you. After the brothers help you kill that Mysterious Snake and obtain the treasure in a moment, the benefits shared with the brothers cannot be few."

"Haha, rest assured, there won't be less for you."

Very quickly, three figures appeared at the edge of this lake.

When they saw the corpse of the Red-Scaled Mysterious Snake on the ground, their originally joyful expressions vanished completely.

One of the fair-faced, beardless youths frowned and bent down. After looking for a moment, he shook his head lightly and said, "This Mysterious Snake has been dead for about five minutes. The Ice Soul Snow Lotus in the lake should have already been taken away."

"Damn it! I only left for ten minutes, and someone beat me to it!"

The person speaking was a black-faced man. He stepped on the head of the Red-Scaled Mysterious Snake, and that already tattered snake head completely became mud.

"Lao Fang, calm your anger!"

The last man, who was full of scholarly air, comforted him and ordered, "This person should not have gone far yet. Let's split into two paths. You two chase after him first, and I will go back to report this matter to the Regiment Commander. At that time, we will mobilize the members of our entire Divine Eagle Mercenary Group to launch a large-scale search. I will definitely make him unable to fly even with wings."

"Good!"

The fair-faced youth and the black-faced man responded, observed the ground for a moment, and then chased after the direction Chen Fan had left.

And the scholarly man also quickly left in one direction.

After the three people left, Chen Fan quickly drilled out from behind the giant rock.

"Ice Soul Snow Lotus?! This seems to be a divine medicine in the hearts of Ice-type ability users, right?"

Chen Fan's heart was moved. Although the Ice Soul Snow Lotus was useless to him, this was definitely a rare treasure.

The selling price of this thing is afraid to exceed billions, and it is still a case of having a price but no market!

It is said that after Ice-type ability users consume it, their abilities will mutate, and the ability level will become higher!

That is to say, after an A-grade Ice-type ability user consumes it, they can advance to S-grade!

And S-grade can be promoted to SS-grade.

"Get this divine medicine in hand first before talking!"

Chen Fan did not have the slightest hesitation and jumped directly into the lake water.

The lake water was unusually cold, and the bone-chilling coldness made him shiver involuntarily.

"This kind of coldness should be produced by the Ice Soul Snow Lotus!"

Chen Fan swam quickly toward the bottom of the lake.

The lake was not large, but it was very deep. Chen Fan dived down for several tens of meters before reaching the bottom of the lake.

Here, there was indeed an Ice Soul-shaped lotus flower in existence.

The lotus flower was not large, only the size of an adult's palm, and its whole body glowed with a white-as-jade light, appearing exceptionally mysterious.

"Good stuff!" Chen Fan was overjoyed.

He reached out to grab the root of the lotus flower, preparing to pick it.

However, the moment his palm touched the root, that bone-chilling coldness instantly covered one of his arms in frost.

"Hiss! So cold!" Chen Fan couldn't help but shiver and hurriedly mobilized the power of thunder to cover his arm.

With the isolation of the thunder, this coldness weakened a lot.

Chen Fan exerted force lightly and snapped its root off.

"Got it!" Chen Fan was ecstatic and hurriedly swam toward the lake surface.

Just when Chen Fan entered the bottom of the lake to pick the Ice Soul Snow Lotus.

The two people chasing Chen Fan's footprints away very quickly discovered the clues.

After the two of them traveled for a few hundred meters, the traces left by Chen Fan on the ground actually disappeared.

After the two carefully identified them, they discovered that the person they were chasing actually turned back after walking to this point.

The two of them immediately thought that Chen Fan might be hiding near that lake, so they hurriedly ran back.

Just when they rushed back to the lakeside, they happened to see Chen Fan's figure floating out from the lake.

The two were immediately furious.

"Kid, I was almost tricked by you! You even dare to take my things! Hand over the Ice Soul Snow Lotus in your hand! I can let you die more painlessly." The black-faced man pointed at Chen Fan, his murderous intent fully exposed.

That fair-faced youth quietly circled behind Chen Fan along the lakeside to prevent Chen Fan from escaping.

Chen Fan coldly scanned the two people, weighing in his heart how to deal with them.

The strength of these two people had both reached Tier 4 mid-stage. In a one-on-one fight, he was confident he could easily take the opponent down, but in a one-on-two, he was still lacking a bit now.

"The strength of these two people is not bad. It is too difficult to take them down in a short time, and once entangled by them, when the people from the Divine Eagle Mercenary Group they mentioned arrive, I am afraid I will be unable to fly even with wings."

"Forget it, I still have to take the opportunity to run away. It won't be too late to find trouble with them after I advance to Tier 2 peak."

Once Chen Fan reached this thought, he hurriedly put the Ice Soul Snow Lotus in his hand into his space ring.

The two people on the shore frowned, not understanding what method Chen Fan used to actually make the Ice Soul Snow Lotus disappear.

"This kid is strange, take him down first!"

The two acted decisively!

The black-faced man relied on his violent explosive power to step on the water and walk, heading straight for Chen Fan.

Behind him emerged a red wolf beast, its momentum like a rainbow.

"Kid, die for me!" The violent blood energy power bombarded Chen Fan.

Chen Fan leaped out from the water, and the next moment, the thunder of his whole body gathered into one punch.

With a 'Boom', the two separated upon contact, actually evenly matched.

And at this time, the fair-faced youth's attack had also arrived.

This person's giant flame palm struck toward Chen Fan's back heart.

Chen Fan had been prepared, and at the first moment, he used Thunder Flash to dodge.

"Tier 2 late-stage actually has such strength!!" The two looked at each other, their faces showing disbelief.

But wealth moves people's hearts, and the two killed toward Chen Fan again.
