Chapter 5

Realizing the danger posed by the Chenxing River, Chen Fan felt a bit depressed.

This fish isn’t so easy to catch.

When he was a child, whether it was catching fish in the fields or in the river, it was all about the fun.

Who would have thought that catching fish on Blue Star would come with the risk of being beaten to a pulp!

Fortunately, Xiaobai has awakened...

Moreover, Xiaobai is a lightning-attribute tamed beast, and its lightning-attribute attacks should be extremely powerful.

First, he would walk along the river and look for rice paddies or wetlands.

Those places usually have fish, and they are clearly much safer than the Chenxing River.

Besides, the system can check the level of monsters... If I see a Level 3 Blue Scaled Demon Fish, I can just avoid it, right?

Chen Fan made up his mind and nodded to himself.

The fish in the Chenxing River can help Xiaobai improve its combat level and racial level. Even if the Level 3 Blue Scaled Demon Fish is very dangerous, he definitely has to take the risk.

After checking the information about the Chenxing River and the Black Ant Forest again, Chen Fan began to read other information about Blue Star.

...

Two thousand years ago, one day.

After the sun set, it did not rise the next day.

In the sky, there were only two moons.

The entire Blue Star fell into panic, thinking the end of the world had arrived.

It wasn’t until the third day that the sun rose again.

But in the sky of Blue Star, countless black cracks appeared...

The cracks spread across the sky, forming mysterious spatial gates that connected to bizarre other worlds.

Some spatial gates were surrounded by spatial turbulence, extremely dangerous, and anything, whether human or machine, that touched the spatial turbulence would be torn to pieces.

Some spatial gates, however, stabilized, and countless creatures with extraordinary powers emerged from them, wreaking havoc on humanity, plunging Blue Star into panic again.

Strange powers surged from the spatial gates into Blue Star, causing a transformation in the planet...

On one hand, plants and animals began to grow and mutate wildly...

Mountains, rivers, and plants could evolve into spirits, and ancient weapons could give birth to spirits.

Every creature had the potential for extraordinary evolution.

Awakened creatures possessed great powers, like wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and firestorms, just like the mythical beasts of Earth, posing a huge threat to humans.

On the other hand, humans also awakened their bloodline powers and extraordinary powers!

Bloodline power is a force hidden deep within the human soul and bloodline... Many people can open a spatial realm in their mind through meditation to communicate and cultivate extraordinary creatures, so it is also called "tamed beast power."

Extraordinary power, which people call "star power," is a force that humans mastered after the strange powers from the spatial gates surged out.

Those who awaken star power may not necessarily awaken tamed beast power.

But those who awaken tamed beast power will definitely awaken star power!

People who can only use star power for cultivation are called "star warriors."

Those who possess both star power and tamed beast power are called "tamed beast masters."

While star warriors can also become very powerful, most of them are just supporting tamed beast masters.

Because tamed beast masters changed the entire world!

After countless extraordinary monsters appeared on Blue Star, human living space was greatly compressed, and they faced a huge crisis.

But the emergence of tamed beast masters changed this situation!

After the mutation, monsters spread across the entire Blue Star, posing a great threat to humans.

Not to mention the cold weapons of two thousand years ago, even modern firearms could only affect weaker monsters and were ineffective against powerful ones!

Humans were almost driven to the brink, forced to hide in a corner for self-preservation.

Until tamed beast masters appeared...

Tamed beast masters signed contracts with many monsters, giving humans powerful allies and reversing the situation where humans were oppressed by monsters!

Monsters, in fact, is a general term...

Whether they come from other worlds or are mutations of Blue Star’s plants and animals, all extraordinary creatures outside of humans are called "monsters."

Awakened birds and beasts;

Mutated plants;

Ancient weapons that gave birth to spirits;

Fire spirits awakened in lava lands;

Water spirits born in some lakes;

Even goblins that crawled out of some cracks...

These monsters can sign contracts with tamed beast masters, becoming their partners and "tamed beasts."

Tamed beasts and tamed beast masters can promote each other and grow together!

At first, humans only captured weak extraordinary monsters or hatched some monster eggs, then signed contracts with them.

But after many years, both humans and extraordinary monsters discovered that extraordinary monsters grow very quickly in the tamed beast space, almost several times faster than in the outside world!

Moreover, in the tamed beast space, tamed beasts can more easily break through racial limitations and achieve unimaginable extraordinary evolution!

Many highly intelligent extraordinary monsters began to actively seek contracts with humans, hoping to use the "tamed beast space" to grow quickly and break through their combat and racial limitations.

Thus...

Powerful tamed beast masters, leading powerful tamed beasts, gave humans hope for a rise!

Many years later, the entire world returned to human dominance!

Powerful tamed beast masters and star warriors joined forces to build one main city after another, repelling the attacks of terrifying monsters and alien races.

After several more years...

Humans established a glorious tamed beast civilization, then left the main cities to explore the worlds behind one spatial gate after another.

...

"Blue Star, the tamed beast world, the golden age..."

"I have a general understanding."

"It’s really exciting..."

Chen Fan lifted his head and looked at the sky.

Looking east from the square, there were seven cracks clearly visible in the distant sky!

There are actually seven spatial gates near Donghai City?

How many of these are stable and can be entered by humans for exploration?

Chen Fan blinked, not dwelling on the issue of the cracks.

Anyway, with his current strength, he definitely doesn’t have the qualifications to explore such secret realms.

Even the Black Ant Forest, which is home to many Level 1 and 2 iron-eating black ants and scarab beetles, is full of dangers for him now.

Chen Fan’s fingers slowly slid, continuing to browse the information on the tamed beast forum.

At this moment, a group of soldiers came over, guiding everyone to form queues again to receive weapons.

At the edge of the square, there were rows of weapon racks.

The weapon racks were filled with cold weapons.

Swords, spears, sabers, halberds, hammers, shields, axes, and lances...

Chen Fan’s eyes quickly scanned the weapon racks, picking up a fish spear and a dagger.

An inch longer, an inch stronger.

The fish spear is very convenient for both spearing fish and dealing with other monsters.

Swords and sabers are cool, but he hasn’t started training yet, has no star power, and doesn’t know sword or spear techniques, so they would just be useless. The fish spear is much more practical.

As for the dagger, Chen Fan purely intended to use it for preparing fish.

After that, Chen Fan queued up with everyone else and received a small bag of food and water.

The food consisted of three palm-sized bread rolls, a chicken leg, and a bottle of water.

People grumbled at the meager amount of food, but with terrifying tamed beasts like the savage raging ape, no one dared to complain loudly.

...

"Alright!"

The woman on the shoulder of the savage raging ape clapped her hands and said loudly, "The sun has risen, and now I’m going to leave with the team. You need to find your own teams and prepare to enter the 'Black Ant Forest.'"

"There are safe houses made of deep-sea steel in the 'Black Ant Forest' that can withstand monster attacks."

"You can enter the safe houses at night, but you must leave when it’s light."

"Also, the number of safe houses is limited."

"Many of you will have to camp in the wild at night."

Without paying attention to people’s complaints and noise, the woman waved her arm and led the team away.

As soon as they left, the square erupted into chaos.

People were noisy, forming teams, and the scene was chaotic.

In people’s eyes, Chen Fan, who had not awakened any talents and had a slender build, was not worth teaming up with.

The young man with glasses tried to call Chen Fan, but was pulled away by his companions.

Chen Fan didn’t mind, taking advantage of the chaos to slip into the jungle with the fish spear, heading towards the Chenxing River marked on the map.

First, I need to get away from the crowd...

Find a quiet place and see if I can sign a contract with Xiaobai.

I’m really eager...
