Chapter 2720: This Man Is Very Powerful

The rustling sound was coming from the reeds. Everyone turned to the giant swaying reeds.

Something was approaching. It moved at a very slow pace as if it knew that there was no way for the group to get away from its clutches.

What was it?!

It finally appeared!

The reeds split in half, and what came into view was an imposing and majestic head. Its gaze was razor-sharp, and its eyes flashed with a dazzling light. It had long patterns on its body like a tiger. It bared its saber-toothed fangs ominously.

The ladies from Licheng Afterglow Island held their breaths. Their backs drenched in cold sweat.

It walked out of the grove and came in full view. There were ancient beast patterns on its limbs and body. It exuded a certain feeling of nobility. Certain ancient powerful holy creatures had similar patterns on their bodies, too. It symbolized the purity of their bloodline and their dignity.

This was undoubtedly an ancient demon from an old bloodline which might have existed for centuries. It had effortlessly scared off the Sea Anemone Dandelion with its aura. It was not just a commander-level demon because the Sea Anemone Dandelion would never have run off if it was.

“It’s a r-ruler-level demon!” cried out Big Sister Ruan and Le Nan unanimously. They were the only ones with the highest level of cultivation in the group.

They had done some research in the fortress before their departure. The hunters had warned them about the dangers en route to Mingwu Ancient City. The hunters hadn’t talked about the presence of ruler-level demons!

It was just their luck to encounter a ruler-level demon on their path when most people had rarely seen them here. The road to Mingwu Ancient City was big and densely forested.

If they had instead fought the Sea Anemone Dandelions to the best of their capabilities, they would still have lost two or three of their members. But it sounded better than being killed by a ruler-level demon because none of them would likely survive it.

Just a while before, they thought Sea Anemone Dandelions were the most ferocious and dangerous creature they had ever met. Compared to this ruler-level demon, the Sea Anemone Dandelions looked rather cute.

......

“Don’t panic!”

Most of them didn’t even dare to breathe.

Shu Xiaohua was happy that the one who told them not to panic was the expert they had with them. Du Mai looked perplexed. Had he sensed the ruler-level demon? Was that why she had not fought before? She felt like she had doubted him wrongly.

When he confidently told them not to panic, they thought he was going to take It on. Mo Fan walked to the ruler-level demon.

“Oh no, he is walking over to it!” The young ladies from Licheng Afterglow Island were amazed.

He was truly a Seven-star Hunter Master! When they saw him walk to the demon with courage, they felt that he was truly worthy of the money they had paid to hire him.

“Be careful!” said Big Sister Ruan to Mo Fan. “We will soon find a way to escape. Keep it occupied while the rest of us find a way. Don’t provoke it. If it goes berserk, we can’t possibly defeat or outrun it.”

They were uncertain of the situation. As a Super Level Mage, even Mo Fan would only be able to dance around it and stall it for a little while. Big Sister Ruan felt that if they worked hand in hand, they might be able to retreat somehow.

“It’s okay,” Mo Fan assured them and kept walking towards the demon.

Big Sister Ruan frowned. “Don’t take it lightly! It’s a ruler-level demon! If you die, none of us can leave here safely.”

Mo Fan ignored her and approached the demon. The majestic and imposing ruler-level demon walked toward him calmly.

Mo Fan reached out and touched it on the head.

‘Has he lost his mind?!’ the young women wondered in alarm.

The next moment they saw the ruler-level demon lower its head and nuzzle against Mo Fan. The ladies were stunned. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Ruler-level demons were supposed to be terrifying. They had never seen one nuzzled against someone like a friendly puppy!

“Um…” Big Sister Ruan was lost for words.

“It’s my summoned beast. It’s a Royal Pattern Wolf,” said Mo Fan as he patted Old Wolf’s head. “Old Wolf, say hi to the ladies.”

The Royal Pattern Wolf looked up and howled. Some of the Sea Anemone Dandelions floating in the sky fell and smashed into the surrounding reeds.

There was a commotion. The reeds swayed violently as countless other monsters hiding in the reeds fled in fear. Some of them ran out of their hiding places, some migrated to another area, some played dead, and some even dug a hole and hid in the ground!

The young women were all shocked. Their faces had turned pale.

“Why are you howling uselessly, you beast!” rebuked Mo Fan. “If not for you, I would have found that treacherous creature which killed the Copper-horned Yak!”

The Royal Pattern Wolf stuck out its tongue, panting. It rolled on the ground and revealed the underside of its belly allowing Mo Fan to scratch it. It behaved like a friendly pet. It did not look so lethal now.

“Is it really your summoned beast?” Big Sister Ruan walked over to it. Her knees were still weak with fear.

“Yes. I told you. I have a Super Level Summoning Element. This is my dimensional… um… contracted beast,” Mo Fan corrected himself.

He knew that they would find it hard to believe if he said Royal Pattern Wolf was his dimensional beast. Besides, by now he knew Shu Xiaohua was very curious. If he told her that this was his dimensional beast then she would insist on seeing his contracted beast.

Little Flame Belle was too powerful. It was pointless to summon her here. Her power was comparable to great ruler-level. Besides, if he summoned her here, it would attract other powerful Ocean Demons.

As for Apas, it was even stronger. It was also disobedient. It liked to hibernate all the way through spring. It was only active during the autumn. Summer was too hot for it so it wouldn’t even stir from its sleep if summoned then.

“Can I touch it?” asked Shu Xiaohua.

“Sure.”

The Royal Pattern Wolf was furry. It was large and fluffy. It looked pretty friendly while tame. The young girls from the Licheng Afterglow Island seemed to love it.

“It’s a ruler-level summoned beast!”

“That’s so cool! I’ve never seen a ruler-level beast before.”

“Mr. Mo Fan, I never knew you’re actually so powerful. A ruler-level summoned beast is much more powerful than a super level mage, isn’t it?”

“Of course! Even a team of super level mages might not be capable of taking on a ruler-level beast.”

The ladies looked at him with respect and admiration. Their doubts and wariness towards him had vanished all because Old Wolf had appeared out of nowhere.

Du Mei looked embarrassed. She helped Pu Ling treat her wound while sneaking glances at Mo Fan.

‘This man indeed is very powerful! He might be as good as my elder cousin!’
