I can understand what the furry creatures are saying, and I've become the number one beast tame

Chapter 236 Receiving the Reward
"Could this be another trap?"

Yao Ran still felt lingering fear when she thought about what had happened not long ago.

Most of the others had similar expressions.

especially--

"I didn't see any trace of a sect's stronghold there just now, so how did two small wooden houses suddenly spring up from the ground and appear out of nowhere?"

In fact, when Nanran called them to look, there was only one room.

"I think we should turn back."

I've already been fooled by illusions once, do I really want to risk being fooled again?
Whose life will be sacrificed then?
Yao Ran brought up the old topic again.

All eyes inevitably turned to their spiritual leader, Nan Ran, once again.

Nan Ran: ...

She pretended not to hear, as if she had misheard, and walked forward while holding the Frostbeast.

The group looked at each other, and without thinking twice, hurriedly followed.

"Junior Sister Nanran—"

Meng Duanyue looked at Nan Ran, who was about to push the door open, and opened her mouth to warn him to be careful. Before she could say anything, she looked up and saw the sect's steward elder holding firewood.

"Elder Feng?"

She recognized the person in front of her at a glance.

Elder Feng gave a soft hum and carefully examined the visitor, clearly recognizing him as someone familiar with Meng Duanyue.

"It's a girl from the Meng family."

Meng Duanyue's previously anxious heart couldn't help but relax a little after seeing an acquaintance.

"Are you in charge of welcoming guests in the core area this time?"

Elder Feng nodded: "Exactly."

His gaze lingered on Nan Ran for a moment longer before quickly moving on to the others.

"It seems you've gained quite a bit from your journey, and you've all made some progress, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Duanyue smiled wryly: "Indeed, you have made considerable progress."

Extreme danger often hides even greater opportunities.

Many insights into martial arts techniques come from actual combat. The greater the danger, the more potential can be unleashed.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the fact that one survives.

Elder Feng didn't show much expression, but he was still quite warm and polite.

He invited Meng Duanyue and the others into the house.

They were given hot tea.

Meng Duanyue and Xiaoyue frequently visited the Water Demon Forest and were quite familiar with Elder Feng, who often stayed there.

Having been tricked by the Golden Yellow Stone Beast before, the group couldn't help but be a little paranoid.

"Senior Sister Meng, do you think this Elder Feng might also be an imposter?"

"how is this possible?"

Meng Duanyue carefully examined Elder Feng for a moment, then quickly shook her head, denying his guess.

"We've had our share of dealings with Elder Feng..."

Besides, how could you fake it when there's a living person right in front of you?

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"

Yao Ran was still not entirely at ease and stared at Elder Feng for a long time.

Just as she was about to speak tentatively, Elder Feng walked over carrying a wooden box.

"I have been waiting here for a long time."

"I originally thought that no one would be able to succeed in the hidden mission of this trial assessment!"

"After all, the level of danger in the core area is still a bit too much for you, too much to ask of you!"

"I'm already getting ready to pack up and activate the teleportation array back to my sect!"

There's a subtle connection between the return-to-the-sect teleportation array and the identity bracelet you carry when participating in the trial assessment.

Once activated, it will instantly bring all sect disciples who are still undergoing assessments back to the sect.

"I didn't expect that you guys would actually succeed in this task."

Elder Feng opened the box as he spoke: "Here! These are the rewards for the hidden quest. Each of you can take one!"

All eyes immediately fell on the opened box.
