24: Lion Mastiff

Zhang Fan didn't want to comment much on the matters of Guo Mi's family.

Do not judge others' suffering!

Do not advise others to be kind!

Since Guo Mi resented Guo Haoming, she naturally had her reasons.

Furthermore, no matter what kind of relationship Guo Mi had with her father, he, as an outsider, was not qualified to make irresponsible remarks.

"Brother Zhang Fan, do you really not think I'm a bad girl?"

Guo Mi asked cautiously.

"Believe it or not!"

Zhang Fan curled his lips, removing Guo Mi's arms from around his neck: "It's about time, go wash up, and then we'll continue looking for Titan Beasts!"

"Mhm mhm!"

Guo Mi nodded like a pecking chick, then suddenly wrapped her arms around Zhang Fan's neck again and said sweetly, "I want you to carry me over!"

"Don't push your luck!"

Zhang Fan tried to push Guo Mi away, but she looked at him with pitiful eyes.

Forget it!

Zhang Fan thought of her background and felt a little soft-hearted, so he picked her up and went to the river to wash off the dirt.

While they were standing in the river washing, Guo Mi started to get handsy again, taking the opportunity to grope him, like a female pervert.

After cleaning their bodies, they put on their clothes and continued searching for Titan Beasts along the riverbank.

Today was a heavily overcast day; although there was no sun, the air was very muggy, and the temperature had soared to at least 32°C.

Such high temperatures were a severe test for any animal.

Especially the enormous Titan Beasts, who needed to replenish water at all times.

Therefore, many Titan Beasts came to the river to drink water, and they hadn't walked far before they encountered several more Titan Beasts.

"Lion Mastiff!"

Zhang Fan looked at the Titan Beasts through the grass, his eyes lighting up.

"They are Lion Mastiffs!" Guo Mi nodded repeatedly: "There are 4 of them!"

On the opposite bank of the river, four enormous creatures were lying prostrate by the river drinking water.

They resembled Shiba Inus, but their bodies were covered in golden yellow manes.

Especially the fur around their necks was even more luxuriant, resembling the mane on a male lion's neck, hence the name Lion Mastiff!

They were massive, with very developed muscles, and their canine teeth were two feet long, like sharp scimitars.

Lion Mastiff!

A canine Titan Beast, an adult Lion Mastiff can reach 7 meters in length and is a common low-level Titan Beast.

These Titan Beasts prefer to move in small groups, often several of them acting together, hunting cooperatively with extremely high efficiency.

"You stay here and don't move, I'm going to take down these 4 Lion Mastiffs!"

"Mhm mhm!"

Zhang Fan stepped out of the hiding grass and walked towards the 4 Lion Mastiffs.

He transformed as he walked, completing his transformation when he reached the middle of the river.

The 10-meter-tall Golden Zhu Yan stood in the center of the river, with the two-meter-deep river water only reaching his knees.

"Roar—"

The 4 Lion Mastiffs on the opposite bank discovered Zhang Fan, the uninvited guest, and immediately bared their fangs, revealing their fierce nature, letting out low growls.

The next second, the 4 Lion Mastiffs leaped up and pounced on Zhang Fan.

Lion Mastiffs are inherently ferocious and enjoy killing; even when full, they will torture and kill any prey they encounter for sport.

This was also why Zhang Fan didn't ambush them but walked towards them openly.

Because he knew very well that these 4 Lion Mastiffs would not run away!

"Roar—"

The roar of the Lion Mastiffs was like thunder; after the 4 Lion Mastiffs rushed over, they immediately surrounded Zhang Fan and barked madly.

The dense roars were like rolling muffled thunder, exploding in the center of the river, making Zhang Fan's ears buzz and his heart restless.

If it were an ordinary prey, it would have long been scared out of its wits by such a loud roar, its body limp, and its combat power greatly diminished.

Zhang Fan did not; he flipped his palm, and a seven or eight-meter-long machete appeared in his hand, which he swung fiercely.

"Whoosh—"

Zhang Fan's swing was incredibly fast; because it was so fast, the blade tore through the air, emitting a shrill whistling sound.

One Lion Mastiff was caught off guard and was directly struck in the neck by the machete.

"Pfft—"

Crimson blood gushed out like a fountain, dyeing the river water red.

The head of this Lion Mastiff flew high, separating from its body.

A Lion Mastiff!

Decapitated with a single strike!

The remaining three Lion Mastiffs were startled and immediately moved away from Zhang Fan, barking wildly at him from several meters away.

Lion Mastiffs are highly intelligent and very clever Titan Beasts.

They enjoy torturing and killing prey weaker than themselves, but when faced with prey stronger than themselves, they often retreat.

In the eyes of the remaining 3 Lion Mastiffs, Zhang Fan was difficult prey to deal with, and they dared not approach rashly again.

This, in turn, made Zhang Fan uncomfortable; he wasn't afraid of being ganged up on by the three Lion Mastiffs, he was only afraid of them staying far away.

Golden Zhu Yan is known as the King of Land Warfare, but he is not good at speed.

Lion Mastiffs are also very agile and fast; if they were determined to escape, Zhang Fan truly had no way to deal with them.

Unless he abandoned the other two and focused on one of them.

"Never mind, one is one, it's better than all three escaping!"

Zhang Fan quickly made up his mind, locked onto the most robust and strongest Lion Mastiff among them, and pounced.

As soon as he moved, the three Lion Mastiffs immediately bolted.

Especially the one being chased, it ran for its life, its four legs kicking up rolling waves, making a splashing sound.

Seeing that this Lion Mastiff was about to escape to the shore, Zhang Fan became anxious and stomped his right foot hard on the riverbed.

"Boom—"

The powerful muscle groups in his lower leg instantly burst forth with terrifying jumping power.

Zhang Fan leaped up and landed a kick on the Lion Mastiff.

Zhang Fan grabbed the dense mane on the Lion Mastiff's neck, pulled its head, and with his other hand, held the machete and slashed across the Lion Mastiff's neck.

"Pfft—"

The carotid artery in its neck was severed, and blood gushed out like a spring; the Lion Mastiff struggled violently, but Zhang Fan held on tightly.

As blood continuously drained, the Lion Mastiff gradually stopped struggling.

Zhang Fan released the Lion Mastiff's corpse, letting it fall into the river, then looked at the other two Lion Mastiffs.

These two hadn't fled; they just watched from afar, neither daring to approach nor moving further away, just like two dogs!

"What a pity!"

Zhang Fan shook his head inwardly.

He had wanted to catch them all, but he was too far from these two Lion Mastiffs.

With his speed, plus the complex terrain, he couldn't catch them.

This was a bit of a shame!

Although Lion Mastiffs, like Bloodthirsty Tanks, are low-level monsters.

However, because Lion Mastiffs are scarce, their meat is much more expensive.

Two Lion Mastiffs could sell for at least five or six hundred thousand, what a pity!

"Splash—"

At this moment, two water spears suddenly shot up from the river, striking the two Lion Mastiffs with lightning speed.

"Thud thud—"

The water spears were too fast and appeared too suddenly; caught off guard, the two Lion Mastiffs were hit.

The water spears pierced through their left temples and exited their right temples, accurately 貫穿ing the heads of the two Lion Mastiffs, killing them on the spot.

Zhang Fan looked at the Lion Mastiffs that had fallen into the river, his body trembled slightly, then he looked at Guo Mi, who was standing on the opposite bank of the river.

The mixed-race beauty was still unclothed, standing straight on the bank.

Seeing Zhang Fan looking at her, she deliberately straightened her back, puffed out her chest, and raised her head, making her C-cup breasts appear like D-cups, a sweet smile on her delicate round face.

"She's really good at pretending!"

Zhang Fan's mouth twitched.

This woman pretended to be harmless in front of him, acting shy, pitiful, and even ladylike.

But all of this was an act; she was far stronger than him!

Otherwise, she couldn't have precisely killed these two Lion Mastiffs by manipulating water spears without transforming.

Using Talent Divine Power without transforming, this is something only Foundation Establishment cultivators can do!

Zhang Fan grabbed the two Lion Mastiff corpses and dragged them to the shore.

He also dragged over the two Lion Mastiffs that Guo Mi had killed with water spears.

"Brother Zhang Fan, you're amazing! You killed two Lion Mastiffs so easily!" Guo Mi said with an expression of admiration.

Zhang Fan: "..."
