After jumping off the pedestal and entering the forest, Lin Fan only moved a certain distance before stopping.

He jumped up into a tree and had Brainy lay out puppets around him as a detection system before taking the time to sum up what he knew.

Brainy had been controlling puppets to scout out the surrounding area during the time that he had been moving, so it was time for him to go over those reports before planning out his next move.

According to the reports that were sent back, it seemed like the cry for help that he heard earlier came from someone that was being attacked by a large tiger. Based on the aura that the tiger released, he knew that it had to be at least in the Child Soul Realm. There was no way that the Embryo Soul Realm Expert that it was chasing would have been able to fight against it.

But also based on this report, it seemed like the main danger in this area were the beasts that lived in this area.

From the other reports that he received, he had found that there were also many other Child Soul Realm beasts that were wandering the area. He had also found that in certain areas, there were auras that came from Nascent Soul Realm beasts.

It seemed like the trap that Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect had set up was quite devious.

No one could blame them since the teleportation was random, so they would also be subjected to the same treatment, but they surely had some way of keeping themselves safe.

For example, they had control over these Ancient Era Ruins the entire time and it was known that they had time to explore parts of it, or Murong Yue wouldn't have had that map.

It was very likely that they had already found places to hide from these Child Soul Realm beasts. As for what happened to the people that came with them, who knows if they were killed by the Child Soul Realm beasts attacking them or from a human attacking them.

Everything that didn't come out would be forgotten in the Ancient Era Ruins.

It was a good thing that Lin Fan had a premonition of this and had placed some of Brainy's seeds on the members of the Hunters Organization group.

Of course, those seeds weren't embedded in them and wrapped around their nervous systems like Brainy's puppets, but these seeds were still a part of Brainy. As long as they didn't break, Brainy would be able to maintain a connection to them and track where the people with these seeds on them were.

So far, not a single one of those seeds had broken yet, but a few of them were moving quickly which meant that the ones the seeds were on were most likely running from something.

However, there was nothing Lin Fan could do for them since they were just too far away from him.

So Lin Fan slowly created a map of the area around him with Brainy's flying puppets and he was able to create a map that matched a part of the bigger map that Murong Yue had shown him. It didn't take him long to recreate that map and find where he was, as well as mark down the location of the members of the Hunters Organization group.

So far, it seemed like no one had been killed yet, though quite a few of them had been moving quickly to avoid attacks.

In the end, it was all because Lin Fan had warned them about the Thunder Sect and True Spirit Sect's plans that they had been on guard the entire time.

At the very least, it seemed like they were concentrated in a single area and it wouldn't take Lin Fan that long to gather them all up.

After getting all this information, Lin Fan made a clear route to take that would allow him to gather up all the members as soon as possible before heading out.

However, once he jumped off the tree that he was in, there were three people who suddenly surrounded him.

Lin Fan didn't recognize these people, but he certainly wasn't caught off guard by them.

After all, he had been surveying the entire area and it would have been shameful if he hadn't been able to find these three. He had actually found them quite quickly and had been watching them the entire time, just waiting for them to make their move.

Once he saw that they didn't seem to have any intentions of letting him go, Lin Fan asked in a cold voice, "Can I help you?"

The person who seemed to be the leader of these three people didn't mind Lin Fan's cold voice at all and said with a friendly smile, "This little brother, how about working with us? It's already hard enough to survive in these ruins if we're alone, so isn't it a good idea for us to work together?"

As he said this, he released his aura as a Mid Embryo Soul Realm Expert. Once he released his aura, the other two also released their auras as Mid Embryo Soul Realm Experts.

All three of them had confident looks on their faces, but to Lin Fan, they seemed like fools who were dancing and screaming in front of him.

But they had justification in being this confident.

The aura that Lin Fan was currently leaking as that of a Low Embryo Soul Realm Expert.

A Low Embryo Soul Realm Expert was surrounded by three Mid Embryo Soul Realm Experts like this?

Was there any doubt who would win?

But that was only following normal logic and Lin Fan was anything but normal.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look over these three before saying in the same cold voice, "Unfortunately, I don't need any help, so you'll have to excuse me."

There was a trace of anger that appeared in the eyes of the three since it was clear in Lin Fan's voice that he was looking down on them. However, none of them backed down because they knew that they had the advantage in this situation.

The leader of the three shook his head and said, "It's a shame that this little brother can't recognize a toast when he's given one."

Then he nodded at the other two and said, "Do it." After he said this, he pulled out his weapon and jumped at Lin Fan.

Without any hesitation, the other two also jumped out at Lin Fan with their weapons brandished.

Lin Fan saw this and didn't panic like one would expect someone at his level to do. Instead he just gave a sigh and shook his head as he stood there.

The three attackers were surprised by Lin Fan's actions, it was almost as if he was treating himself as an adult and them as children, but they didn't think deeper into that. They knew that they would be able to take care of him, so they continued charging at him without any hesitation.

Right when they were about to hit Lin Fan, there was a sudden white energy that appeared around him.

Then without any warning, Lin Fan suddenly disappeared from his original spot, causing all three of them to miss, striking the ground with their weapons.

All three of them had bewildered looks as they looked around themselves, but then there was a roar that suddenly rang through the forest around them.

When they looked up at the source of the roar, they suddenly noticed that there was a giant paw slamming down at them.

The speed of the paw was almost too fast for them to react to, but they were able to avoid it at the very last second. However, that didn't mean that they were able to completely avoid it since the paw had caught them off guard and they were hit by the shockwaves of the paw.

Though compared to heavy injuries or even dying from being struck by the paw, it was better that they got off with light injuries alone.

After landing and stabilizing themselves, they looked at the owner of the paw that attacked them before immediately revealing looks of shock.

It was a Child Soul Realm beast!

Why was there a Child Soul Realm beast that had suddenly appeared and why hadn't they noticed it at all?

But they didn't have time to think about this at all.

The three of them completely forgot about the arrogance that they had a few seconds ago and without caring about the other members of their group, they all ran off in different directions.

These three attackers weren't people from the twelve great factions, they were members of families that had won their tokens through the auction.

Since they didn't have other members of the same faction to work with, the three of them had decided to work together.

Of course, that didn't mean that they had any loyalty towards each other and they would abandon each other without any second thoughts.

The tiger paused for a second as it was caught off guard by these three suddenly heading off in different directions, but it wasn't stunned long as it suddenly made a decision to chase after one of these three people.

The Child Soul Realm tiger was naturally much faster than this human who was in the Mid Embryo Soul Realm and since they were so close, it didn't take long for the Child Soul Realm tiger to slap this person to death.

Even in death, that person couldn't help thinking where it had all gone wrong.

The only problem was that he never once considered Lin Fan as the source of his misfortunes.
