Chapter 10

Indeed, the Black Ant Forest does have the Thunder Origin Fruit.

However, the Thunder Origin Fruit grows at the edge of the Black Ant Forest, downstream of the Sinking Star River, near the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

Most of the Level 2 iron-eating black ants in the Black Ant Forest are concentrated in that area.

Not only that, but there are also many Level 3 and above monsters from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain in that area, making it a high-risk zone.

Chen Fan was also very conflicted inside...

Xiaobai had broken through to Level 2 and could try to fight the Level 3 blue-scaled demon fish in the Sinking Star River, which would definitely be no problem.

After all, they are fish in the river; if they can't win, they can still run away.

No matter how powerful the Level 3 blue-scaled demon fish are, they can't climb onto the shore.

But if they encounter Level 3 and above monsters in the jungle, then...

It's not a matter of whether you die.

It's a matter of whether you die.

With Xiaobai's speed, plus the new skill "Thunder Flash," there might still be a chance to escape.

But for Chen Fan himself, it would definitely be a dead end.

Should he go, or not go?

After Xiaobai broke through to Level 2, as long as they don't go to dangerous areas, they basically won't encounter any major dangers.

After these three days, entering the academy to study, and then opening a "Beast Taming Shop," they can earn money easily and buy materials to help Xiaobai upgrade.

He actually didn't need to take such risks.

But for some reason, Chen Fan had a strange impulse deep in his heart.

Growing up in the orphanage for these past ten years, Chen Fan often had a carefree smile, acting as if he didn't care about anything.

But he was very clear that deep down, he had a bit of a wild streak.

Among all the children in the orphanage, he was the only one who, to protect a little sister, went to fight a pack of wild dogs.

On the other hand, after signing the contract with Xiaobai, Chen Fan felt their bond deepened...

He was now very eager to see Xiaobai's growth and couldn't wait to pick the Thunder Origin Fruit to help Xiaobai enhance his combat level.

That feeling was something he had never experienced before.

"First, let's find a place to enter the Beast Taming Space and take a look!"

Chen Fan's thoughts raced: "If I can enter the Beast Taming Space at any time, it's like having an 'invincible state'!"

Thinking about it, Chen Fan looked around, making sure there was no one or any monsters nearby, and then entered the dense forest.

As soon as he entered the forest, Chen Fan communicated with the Beast Taming Space.

In front of him, a six-pointed star array immediately appeared.

"Xiaobai, you go into the Beast Taming Space first."

Chen Fan pointed at the six-pointed star array.

Xiaobai leaped into the air, landed on the six-pointed star array, and slowly sank into the system space.

Before the six-pointed star array disappeared, Chen Fan also jumped into the middle of it.

But...

There was no reaction.

The six-pointed star array quickly disappeared.

"Indeed, I still need to rely on the system."

Chen Fan tapped the "Enter" button in the corner of the system panel.

A vortex with a diameter of more than two meters appeared in front of him.

"Is this the door to enter the Beast Taming Space?"

Chen Fan rubbed his chin and poked the door with his fish spear.

The next moment, he immediately "saw" that half of the fish spear extended into his Beast Taming Space!

"Interesting!"

Chen Fan threw the fish spear in, then tossed the leaves wrapped with roasted fish into the vortex space door...

"Thud!"

The leaves wrapped with roasted fish were bounced back.

The roasted fish scattered on the ground.

"..."

Chen Fan was stunned.

The fish spear could be sent in, but why couldn't the roasted fish be sent in?

Wait...

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, picked up two roasted fish, and cautiously walked into the vortex space door.

After a brief dizziness...

Chen Fan stepped firmly and appeared in his Beast Taming Space.

Blue sky, white clouds, green grass.

Four strange space doors...

"Meow!"

Xiaobai leaped into Chen Fan's arms.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Chen Fan rolled on the grass with Xiaobai.

After playing for a while, Chen Fan sat up with Xiaobai: "Let's stop playing. I need to check this vortex space door."

Chen Fan put Xiaobai down and stared at the roasted fish in his hands.

Previously, when he threw the roasted fish into the vortex teleportation door, it was bounced back.

But when he held a roasted fish in each hand, he successfully entered.

What was going on?

A thought popped into Chen Fan's mind, and his eyes immediately lit up with joy.

He placed the two roasted fish on the grass in front of Xiaobai, picked up the fish spear, and left the Beast Taming Space.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Fan tapped the "Enter" button again.

The vortex space door reappeared.

Chen Fan threw the fish spear toward the vortex teleportation door...

"Thud!"

The fish spear bounced back, almost hitting Chen Fan's foot.

Chen Fan picked up two small stones and threw them into the vortex space door, and the stones were also bounced back.

Indeed, it wouldn't work...

Whether it was the fish spear, roasted fish, or stones, they couldn't enter the Beast Taming Space without Chen Fan.

Chen Fan's lips curled into a smile.

He raised the fish spear and pushed it forward, and both the fish spear and his arm entered the vortex space door.

Then, he gently threw it...

The fish spear fell onto the grass in the Beast Taming Space!

Indeed, that was the case!

Chen Fan's eyes brightened, and he understood what was happening...

Except for himself and his contracted Beast Tamer, any external objects needed to be in contact with him to enter the Beast Taming Space!

Whether it was the fish spear, roasted fish, or stones, once they left his hands or were not in contact with his body, they couldn't penetrate the space door!

Chen Fan was both surprised and delighted.

Previously, he was actually worried that the teleportation door of the Beast Taming Space might have a fatal bug... If an enemy or monster was nearby, then when he rushed into the Beast Taming Space, the enemy or monster would follow, wouldn't they directly enter the Beast Taming Space?

Now it seemed that this problem didn't exist.

Without contact with his body, enemies or monsters couldn't enter!

Chen Fan let out a strange laugh, picked up the roasted fish, wrapped it in leaves, and stepped into the vortex space door.

In the Beast Taming Space, Xiaobai was happily gnawing on a roasted fish.

The other roasted fish was left with only the bones.

"After awakening, Xiaobai has become a foodie..."

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, walking to one of the doors in the Beast Taming Space.

The Beast Taming Space he saw on the Beast Taming Forum had no doors.

Chen Fan was very curious about what was behind the door.

After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously stepped toward the door...

"Thud!"

As if he had hit an invisible wall, Chen Fan yelped and squatted down, holding his nose.

At the same time, a system message appeared in his mind...

[To enter the alternate space, the Beast Tamer's combat level must be at least Level 20, and the host's cultivation realm must be at least Fourth Rank.]

You damn system...

Did you have to wait until I was crying from the pain to give me a hint?

What were you doing earlier?

Rash... When he first entered the Beast Taming Space, he knew to use the fish spear to poke around, but this time he was careless.

Chen Fan held his nose and stood up angrily.

"Ha ha, ha ha ha..."

Xiaobai covered her mouth and giggled.

"It's not you who got hit. Try it and see if you can still laugh," Chen Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Let's go, Xiaobai. I'll help you find materials to upgrade."

Chen Fan focused and tapped the "Exit" button on the system interface.

The same vortex space door appeared in front of him.

Using the summoning array to let Xiaobai enter and exit the Beast Taming Space was a bit slow, so Chen Fan directly let Xiaobai and himself pass through the space door and exit the Beast Taming Space.

After confirming that he could enter and exit the Beast Taming Space freely, Chen Fan felt much more confident. He and Xiaobai walked along the Sinking Star River downstream.

In fact, besides the Beast Taming Space, the system had another function to avoid danger...

Within fifty meters, the attribute panels of monsters would appear in Chen Fan's line of sight.

This allowed Chen Fan to detect high-level monsters in advance!

With these two advantages, Chen Fan felt much bolder and ran much faster.

On the way, they encountered several puddles, each containing a few Level 2 blue-scaled demon fish.

Chen Fan and Xiaobai used the same tactics: Chen Fan threw stones to distract the blue-scaled demon fish, while Xiaobai sniped from the other side, quickly killing them all.

The Level 2 fish needed to help Xiaobai break through to Level 3 were now more than enough.

After roasting all the fish and having a big meal with Xiaobai, Chen Fan continued down the river with Xiaobai.

Time slowly passed.

The sun set.

After running for another five miles, Chen Fan suddenly slowed down and gave Xiaobai a hand signal: "Thirty meters to the left front, there is a Level 2 iron-eating black ant and four Level 1 iron-eating black ants."

Xiaobai immediately bared her teeth and showed a determined look.

"Good, let's go and eliminate them!"

Although he had trained with Xiaobai for a few hours, real combat was the only way to truly grow!

Seeing Xiaobai's determined look, Chen Fan knew she wanted to show her skills.

He crouched down and slowly approached the iron-eating black ants with Xiaobai.

As he walked, Chen Fan scanned the surroundings.

The area was safe...

Besides the five iron-eating black ants, there were no other monsters.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and communicated with Xiaobai telepathically: "The Level 2 iron-eating black ant, which is sixty centimeters long, is the biggest threat. We need to eliminate the Level 2 iron-eating black ant first!"

"Okay!" Xiaobai nodded.

Chen Fan: "When we get within about 20 meters, you use Thunder Flash to get close, and then use Thunder Cat Claws to catch it off guard!"

"Remember, the main attacks of the iron-eating black ant are a large area
