With Zhan Kong leading the way, the monkey's treatment was resolved. When he came out, after understanding the cause and effect, everyone began to treat Mo Fan like a 'hero.'
To be honest, he didn't really like that.
Once labeled with such a title, it's easy to be morally blackmailed.
He still preferred to be amoral.
In fact, the main reason the students flattered him was because he completed the bounty alone, which meant everyone received an 'A' grade reward.
"Hey, did you hear? That bounty was completed by a student. It seems Bai Yang's Dire Wolf Beast was directly killed by that student!"
"Don't talk nonsense. How strong a Dire Wolf Beast is, we all know. If a student could complete it, I'd eat the bounty LCD screen alive," said a very strong Hunter Mage team leader.
"Then go eat it now," Pan Lijun said coolly, glancing at the big man.
"Go see for yourselves, the bounty has been completed!"
The veterans at the outpost looked up and indeed found that the bounty was in "completed status," with "Tianlan Magic High School Sophomore - Mo Fan!" marked below.
"Holy crap, holy crap, this young man is too bold!"
At that moment, all the veterans at the outpost were stunned!
Especially the one who had just sworn, he was utterly paralyzed and then scurried away from the scene.
Soon, this news spread directly throughout the outpost.
Aside from Bo City's Guardian Mages, most of the people in the outpost were Hunter Mages who roamed the mountains. These Hunter Mages lived by taking bounties and hunting demon beasts. But with this news, all the veterans at the outpost felt somewhat ashamed, as they were the ones who had laughed at the students the loudest.
Inside the stone house, Chief Instructor Zhan Kong held a box in his hand, looking pained.
"Damn it, these black-hearted merchants! They quoted me 550,000 for a Bone Scythe Shield, the bastards!" Zhan Kong cursed loudly.
Luo Yunbo, Pan Lijun, and Bai Yang, who were beside him, remained silent. Mo Fan also quietly observed the Chief Instructor's performance.
Several Guardian Mages were secretly snickering. Usually, at this outpost, it was always their boss, Zhan Kong, who tormented them, making them miserable. Who knew Boss Zhan Kong would also have times when he stumbled.
"Go call that kid over, hmph!" Zhan Kong said, annoyed.
"Big brother, I've been here the whole time," Mo Fan said, raising a hand to the somewhat muddled Head Instructor Zhan Kong.
When Zhan Kong saw Mo Fan, he was still a bit annoyed and couldn't figure out how he had killed the Dire Wolf Beast!
However, no matter how angry Zhan Kong was, Mo Fan greeted him with a smile.
After all, the Chief Instructor was about to give him a Magic Tool worth several hundred thousand!
"Take it, take it!" Zhan Kong said, displeased.
Mo Fan had already caught it, but Zhan Kong wouldn't let go, so he promptly reminded him, "Chief Instructor, would you mind letting go?"
Zhan Kong's mouth twitched, but he finally let go. Zhan Kong was full of sadness, while Mo Fan, having obtained this treasure, was overjoyed.
Afterward, Head Instructor Zhan Kong naturally extended an invitation. Mo Fan, without any hesitation, chose to refuse.
Then, he was gnashingly chased out of the room by Zhan Kong.
The training ended, and with about a month left of summer, Mo Fan unhesitatingly stepped outside the safety zone.
It was his first time venturing into the wild, so he didn't dare to be too reckless.
In fact, teaming up with Hunter Mages was most suitable for him at the moment. After all, Hunter Mages who constantly roamed the wild were more experienced.
But the Hunter Mages in this world, he always felt they were a bit foolish.
Plus, now that he had a Shield Magic Tool, he still chose to go alone.
Of course, he only explored the edges. It wasn't even a few kilometers from the outpost.
As Mo Fan walked cautiously, suddenly, a large blue rat scurried out from in front of him!
This large rat's pupils were as big as a basketball, and the tumors covering its eyes, when they moved, not only made goosebumps crawl all over one's skin.
Its neck was as thick as a tree that a person could barely embrace, and its neck and head were completely indistinguishable. In short, it was huge!
The moment it spotted Mo Fan, it directly pounced at him!
"Bang!"
"Squeak!!!"
Mo Fan immediately used his Bone Scythe Shield. The Giant Eye Scarlet Mouse directly crashed into the Bone Scythe Shield, then let out a wail.
Although Mo Fan also experienced a terrible gravitational impact, he truly felt the wonderful use of the Magic Tool.
"Azure Flame - Fire Ignition - Burning Bone!"
With the Bone Scythe Shield blocking the opponent, Mo Fan began to draw his Star Orbit. While the Giant Eye Scarlet Mouse was still dizzy, the azure Fire Ignition directly impacted its demon body!
"Boom!"
"Screech~~~"
As the azure fire wave ignited, after a mournful cry, the Giant Eye Scarlet Mouse turned into a charred corpse and fell to the ground.
Immediately after, Mo Fan saw a faint glowing star-like speck of light floating towards him.
This was naturally the remnant soul of the Giant Eye Scarlet Mouse.
Although the remnant soul didn't provide much growth for Little Loach, every little bit added up.
"Phew."
Mo Fan's tense nerves relaxed considerably at that moment.
Indeed, after having killed demon beasts, the pressure of facing them was no longer as intense.
Moreover, the power of Azure Flame was also quite considerable.
But he didn't continue to search here; instead, he returned to the safety zone. First, he needed to digest what happened. Secondly, being able to smoothly defeat the opponent today was due to the impact of the Bone Scythe Shield.
Demon beasts weren't idiots; they wouldn't just stand there and let themselves be attacked.
Moreover, what he had killed was only the lowest-ranked Giant Eye Scarlet Mouse among the demon race.
Upon returning to the outpost, Mo Fan did not return to the city. Instead, he directly stayed at the outpost.
At first, Mo Fan also thought about disguising himself.
But in fact, once he arrived there, he realized that he wasn't that famous.
Being secretive would only draw more attention.
When he had nothing to do at the outpost, Mo Fan would also learn about valuable items from the Giant Eye Scarlet Mouse and One-Eyed Magic Wolf.
Since he needed to hunt a large number of remnant souls and essence souls to help Little Loach grow quickly, then after hunting them, the materials from their corpses certainly shouldn't go to waste.
One must know that demon beasts themselves were resources. Even the sharp teeth of a low-level Giant Eye Scarlet Mouse were worth several thousand.
The sharp claws, sharp teeth, and fur of a One-Eyed Magic Wolf were worth tens of thousands. However, the fur was almost impossible to obtain, but if one could kill one, they could at least earn about thirty thousand.
For many Mages, it was naturally not worth wasting magic energy. But Mo Fan didn't mind, after all, in his original world, he had only accumulated a mere hundred thousand or so in two years with the demon hunting team.
If he could use essence souls and remnant souls to upgrade Little Loach by this level, the number of demon beasts he needed to kill would be very large, and the income accumulated from these materials would also be very substantial!
If unusual claws or bones appeared, he would strike it rich, almost ten times the value.
