After discovering that Lin Yingxue was missing, Chen An had an ominous feeling.

Dou Buxiang paced around restlessly.

If Chen An was cruel and left her in the lurch, letting her fend for herself, there would be no more entanglements between them. After all, she had merely bought something from him, and the relationship between the two ended there and then.

However, Chen An chose to go to the entrance of the auction to look for her. The man who was guarding the door was still there, and he told Chen An that he had indeed seen Lin Yingxue. She had left after asking her questions.

Chen An asked for her directions after she left. “Sure enough.”

If he did not come looking for her, she might meet with disasters today.

From the direction that the man showed him, there was only one possible place that she might have gone—Fierce Beasts Forest!

In this world, the most dangerous deed was to go to Fierce Beasts Forest. That was the place with the richest spirit aura, where many fierce beasts were concentrated. Even for very powerful people, if they dared to enter the forest, they must be prepared not to leave the forest alive.

The people who entered Fierce Beasts Forest were often those who had come to a dead-end and dared to exchange their lives for money.

They were all in groups. They would enter the forest as a group, hunt down the fierce beasts, obtain the spirit cores, and sell them at the auction for money.

Lin Yingxue obviously could not wait anymore, so she had ventured into Fierce Beasts Forest alone.

“She is too stupid.” To think that he had the impression yesterday that Lin Yingxue was an extraordinary and smart person.

This was what Chen An had on his mind. He could not help but speed up, and Dou Buxiang quickly caught up as well.

Just like what he said, right at that moment, Lin Yingxue was full of regrets for her stupidity.

She leaned behind a giant tree and stuck out her head to check for danger. She scanned the surroundings and turned around after confirming there was no movement.

Her heart thumped rapidly, and her breathing was heavy. Her lower legs began to feel sore.

These were signs of extreme exhaustion.

She had encountered a fierce beast that looked like a snake just earlier. It was extremely fast, twisting its body, and it suddenly slashed past in front of her.

She did not have time to be afraid. She chased after it without thinking. All she had in mind was the faster the fierce beasts were, the probability of them having an agile attribute spirit core must be higher, and this was what Wu Wu needed.

She had to land her hands on it.

It was this thought that had made her attack the fierce beast regardless of danger.

She launched consistent strong attacks on the fierce beast. However, to the fierce beast, the attacks were of no threat. They were as soft as dropping feathers and could not hurt the fierce beast at all.

She backed away in shock, and she instantly understood that she had underestimated the fierce beast.

It was too late to escape.

When a fierce beast was angered, it would not easily let go of its prey.

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have come to this eerie place. Why didn’t I…” Not only did she regret her reckless actions, but she also could not bear to part with him. “Chen An…”

She mumbled and muttered to herself. It was as soft as a whisper. No one would be able to hear it in this dense Fierce Beasts Forest.

“Are you calling for me?”

Lin Yingxue instantly became vigilant, thinking that the fierce beast was following her in desperation.

“Are you being sane to run around alone? And you even dare to hit someone?” Chen An grabbed onto Dou Buxiang to prevent Lin Yingxue from being attacked.

“You…” After having a clear look at Chen An, Lin Yingxue’s eyes widened unbelievably. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. “How dare you come in? You are not even a Beast Tamer. You will die a quicker death than I will here!”

Chen An thought to himself, criticizing the person who had made him come all the way here to “court death”.
