The entire school embarks on a survival journey, starting from a primeval rainforest.

"Not far into the area where those five living trees were located, there were many more living trees that were taller and thicker. The living trees in the core area were like adults compared to the five living trees that the Honglu Association had cut down."

"After continuing through that core area, the living trees gradually became smaller again."

"As you approach the edge of the other side, you'll see humanoid creatures radiating a purple glow moving around."

"They travel in groups, carrying tools or weapons, exploring the area, and they also besiege living trees to obtain sap."

"Powerful individuals can also ride thunder-attribute beasts, making them incredibly formidable in combat."

When Jiang Fan learned this news from the tabby cat, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

He had considered the possibility that other humans might exist in the rainforest; the word "region" on the ranking list already hinted at this.

But when he learned that the "possible humans" were aliens, he felt a chill run down his spine.

He couldn't believe that those distant alien races would have such a friendly attitude of "harmonious coexistence" when they talked to him.

In the current environment, the law of the dark jungle is more suitable.

After all, even humans themselves have never lacked the "good habit" of infighting.

Not to mention the deeply ingrained belief among most races that "those who are not of our kind must have different hearts."

Even Jiang Fan himself is not immune to this tendency, and he habitually magnifies the "bad habits" of those "international students".

In Jiang Fan's eyes, the rainforest was like a charming and alluring beauty, waiting for you to explore it slowly and gradually unveil her mysterious veil.

But now it has become a monster that wants to devour people, waiting for you to fall into its mouth and plunge into an abyss if you are not careful.

Right now, that area of ​​living trees seems like a protective barrier, shielding them, a group of ordinary humans who have just crossed over.

However, the isolation zone will not last forever. When those ancient and powerful living trees are breached one by one by the alien races, humanity may face annihilation.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan's relaxed state of mind, which had just been eased by his overall improvement in strength, suddenly tightened. A strong sense of urgency reminded him that he must resolve the troubles caused by Jianghu and Honglu Society as soon as possible and achieve overall unity within the school.

Unite all parties, actively prepare for war, and rapidly enhance our strength.

Only in this way can we gain some self-protection in the event of a potential crisis.

This made him even more eager for the action he had planned for tonight.

Jiang Fan's mind raced, but his gaze involuntarily fell upon his surroundings.

The companions were busy cooking, grilling fish, and feeding the cats, taking a rare break to relax, enjoy the present, and dream about the future.

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately suppressed this chilling piece of information back into his heart.

It is clearly not appropriate to release this news at this time, otherwise it will only increase panic and do more harm than good.

After all, even he himself was shaken when he heard the news, let alone the ordinary students who had just begun to adapt to the current environment.

"Are you alright?" Nangong Yue, who was feeding the cat next to Jiang Fan, suddenly asked softly, as if she had noticed his abnormality.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering why no pretty girl has confessed to me despite how cool I am." Jiang Fan quickly suppressed his emotions and made a joke.

Nangong Yue rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and stopped looking at him.

Jiang Fan looked at the other tabby cat not far from his own spirit cat, which wasn't eating and wasn't very sociable. It was the tabby cat that had brought back the news.

When Ji Meng told him that there were at least five living trees near the Honglu Association, he guessed that there should be more living trees nearby, but he was afraid that his tabby cat would encounter danger if it went to explore, so he asked it to send another cat instead.

This tabby cat, which was clearly not very sociable and had a "fierce look," was the "scout" sent by the lynx.

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!" Jiang Fan complied with the spirit cat's request to address its subordinate by his honorific title. "Does this subordinate have a name? Does it need a master who can not restrain it, provide for its food, and help it become stronger?"

Jiang Fan was impressed by the talent. Just from the description, he knew that the journey was not safe, and the fact that this "fierce cat" could bring back the news was enough to prove that it had remarkable abilities.

"Purr..." The tabby cat was happily eating grilled fish. After hearing Jiang Fan's question, it reservedly and slowly put the grilled fish back into the plate that Ding Rui had specially prepared for it, and began to communicate with the tabby cat with its fierce appearance.

Strangely enough, my tabby cat, who gets all pricked up when it's in danger, is actually quite dignified in front of other cats.

After the tabby cat questioned the "fierce cat," the latter's expression of dissatisfaction and resentment subsided considerably.

Soon, the tabby cat gave Jiang Fan a reply that left him both amused and exasperated: "It says its name is Sang Biao, but you can also call it Brother Biao."

Jiang Fan looked at the "fierce cat" again, and to be honest, its fierce appearance was quite fitting.

"It says it doesn't need an owner or food; it can take care of itself. But if you can help it become stronger and take care of its sister, it can help."

Jiang Fan then noticed that behind Brother Biao, who had always been a loner and hadn't eaten the grilled fish, was a beautiful little calico.

This is... a sister-protecting maniac?

Are you sure you didn't get the lead role's script?

After a moment's thought, Jiang Fan decided to grant its request.

Currently, apart from parasitic pets like the Heavenly Cloud Vine, the pet system is not deeply bound to its owner and doesn't have features like pet spaces found in most games.

Even after being domesticated, they still move freely, only their physique is strengthened, and they have two more hidden paths to becoming stronger: enhancement and evolution.

The biggest benefit of many pets right now is that they can help their owners earn a reward when the leaderboard is closed.

Just like "Mo Ying" and "Ling Long" who are now eating with the cat team, and "Zhao Cai" who is hiding in Raymond Lam's arms, just like the end of the world and trembling with fear.

In practice, it is not very useful.

Linglong is the name of Ding Rui's little leopard, while Zhaocai is the name of Lin Feng's little squirrel.

Jiang Fan called Ding Rui over: "I really like this tabby cat. Do you see if anyone has a pet training card? You can come over and try to train it. It should be successful."

He doesn't even have any spare pet slots left; in fact, he owes the system one, so he definitely can't tame a pet himself.

Not long after, Ding Rui actually found a girl.

The person who came was also an acquaintance of Jiang Fan's, Li Luojia, who had been cheated out of the beast meat by Huo Xuan the next day and had tried to exchange a few small fish for meat with Jiang Fan.

She remained as gentle and delicate as ever, speaking softly and rarely raising her voice; she was very introverted.

"I heard from Sister Rui that you're looking for someone with pet training cards? I wanted to give her the cards when she was collecting them, but she said she doesn't need the ones for the non-homestead system for now."

Jiang Fan nodded to himself. Ding Rui had indeed asked him if he wanted a pet training card, but he had refused.

Seeing Li Luojia hand over a white card, Jiang Fan knew she had misunderstood. He pointed to the tabby cat and said, "Try using it on it."

Then he explained a little more, saying that even if the cat is successfully tamed, it will still be free-range, so don't have too much hope.

Without hesitation, Li Luojia crushed the card in his hand and used it on "Brother Biao".

She was very grateful to Jiang Fan for saving her roommate's life and had been struggling to find an opportunity to repay him. This opportunity to help Jiang Fan was extremely precious to her.

Soon after, Brother Biao was successfully "recruited" and his size increased considerably, much like Mo Ying after she was successfully tamed.

According to Jiang Fan's estimate, this adds at least "the power of one cat".

His mood relaxed a bit. There were alien humans outside the purple beam area, but what about the other beam areas?

This matter must be thoroughly investigated.

One alien race is already alarming, but five...

It's simply unthinkable!

Whether all of this can be investigated thoroughly depends entirely on Brother Biao's performance.
