636: Chapter 634 Zhou Fan
There were still 8900 points of spirituality value left. Chu Xuan did not use them further, choosing instead to save them for a rainy day.
"Unknowingly, it has been nearly two hours since I arrived in the Cangyun World. It is time to properly explore this world and trigger an exclusive mission."
Chu Xuan let out a long breath and checked his phone.
1:52.
Although there was no internet connection, the time displayed on the phone had not been disrupted.
"Before 10:30, I will try to see if I can successfully enter a dream here..."
Chu Xuan put his phone back into his Exclusive Space and looked up at the top of the cliff.
From the top of the cliff, which was several thousand meters high, came a roar filled with resentment.
"If I do not die today, I will surely take back everything that belongs to me!!"
"Ah!!!"
Accompanied by a long scream, a figure jumped from the top of the cliff, passing through layers of thick fog and plummeting downwards.
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
In an instant, the True Essence within his body surged, transforming into an invisible, gentle force that lifted upwards, steadily catching a blood-stained youth.
"Pfft!"
After landing, the youth spat out another mouthful of blood. His turbid eyes looked at Chu Xuan, revealing a trace of self-mockery:
"It is said that a Strange Creatures is trapped at the bottom of the Cliff of Severed Life. Its body is filthy and can devour everything; whoever falls in is destined to die. Yet, I, Zhou Fan, never expected to be saved by a demon today..."
At this moment, Chu Xuan was still maintaining his appearance, completely shrouded in darkness, especially with a dark vortex slowly rotating behind him, devouring all light around him, which indeed looked somewhat strange.
The youth gave a miserable smile: "Since I have fallen into your hands, you might as well just eat me; it is better than dying at the hands of treacherous villains."
Chu Xuan looked at the youth before him, who appeared resigned to death but was actually full of a desire to survive, and a strange glint appeared in his eyes: "What are you expecting?"
As he spoke, Chu Xuan used the Eye of Insight.
[Name: Zhou Fan. Species: Human (Cangyun World). Rank: 11. health points: 50/2200. stamina: 2 (13). Strength: 1 (12). agility: 1 (14). spirit: 5 (15)... ...]
Zhou Fan was stunned, muttering: "Rumor has it that the filthy ones have no intelligence, cannot speak, and will eat anyone they see. Could it be... you are not that demon?"
Chu Xuan did not speak, instead attempting to use the newly acquired ability, "Mind Thread."
In an instant, his Mental Energy transformed into an invisible thread, slowly merging into Zhou Fan's skull to read the other's thoughts.
"Eat me quickly! Eat me quickly!"
"As long as you dare to eat me, I will be reborn, and my strength will greatly increase..."
"No, this doesn't seem to be a demon. He seems to be staring at me the whole time; what does he want to do?"
"Regardless, this time I am destined to turn a misfortune into a blessing!"
"I, Zhou Fan, am destined for greatness. When I return, I will definitely take back everything that belongs to me!"
Zhou Fan's tumultuous thoughts were easily probed by Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes and dissipated the darkness shrouding his body, revealing a plain, unremarkable face transformed by [Myriad Forms].
Seeing this, a flash of joy immediately crossed Zhou Fan's face: "You are indeed not a demon! Senior, please save me. I am the Young Alliance Master of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. As long as you save my life, I will surely reward you handsomely."
Chu Xuan's expression was calm as he asked: "You seemed desperate for me to eat you just now. Why?"
"This..."
Zhou Fan's expression flickered uncertainly, and then he gave a bitter smile: "I knew I could not survive. Rather than being killed by treacherous people, it would be better to be eaten by a demon."
Although Zhou Fan said this, Chu Xuan had already perceived the other's truest thoughts.
It turned out that this Zhou Fan actually possessed a special Talent: whenever he was in a desperate situation and a Strange Creatures came to eat him, lightning would descend from the sky and strike the Strange Creatures to death.
And Zhou Fan would be able to be reborn, with all his injuries recovered, and sometimes he could even gain some of the abilities of that Strange Creatures.
Not only that, in his past experiences, whenever he faced a desperate situation, even if he was not being coveted by a Strange Creatures, he would often find a way out, and he was impossible to kill.
Furthermore, he would soon be able to improve his strength and then counterattack.
Chu Xuan's heart stirred: "Could it be... is this Zhou Fan the Child of the World here?"
With this thought, Chu Xuan began to interrogate Zhou Fan about his past.
Zhou Fan answered every question, appearing just like a naive, inexperienced youth.
However, through his "Mind Thread," Chu Xuan easily perceived that although every sentence the other said was true, there were often hidden aspects, and when some truths were combined, they would run counter to the original meaning.
