My place is on fire

Chapter 987 The secret behind the giant bronze gate!
With the help of the Flying Rat and the Red Flame Bull which has a restraining effect on the Monkey Willow.

Ye Tian and Ye Fan’s efficiency in killing monsters has also been greatly improved!

Somewhere in the jungle.

Ye Fan had just killed a monkey willow with the help of the Flying Rat and the Red Flame Ox, when an old man in a long robe with white hair and beard floated out of his ring.

This old man was the ancestor of the Ye family who had helped Ye Fan successfully sense the Qi within 1 hour and thus become Luo Xuning's apprentice.

He is also Ye Fan’s grandfather’s grandfather, named Ye Chen.

"Grandfather! You have finally recovered and can come out again!"

When Ye Fan saw Ye Chen floating out of the ring, an expression of great joy appeared on his face.

At the beginning, Ye Chen used up his already limited soul power to help Ye Fan sense the Qi and strive for the opportunity to become Luo Xuning's disciple, which consumed a lot of his soul power again.

After successfully helping Ye Fan to become Luo Xuning's apprentice, Ye Chen fell into a deep sleep. It had been about two months since he helped Ye Fan. He had just recovered some of his soul power and was able to manifest it again.

"Haha, don't worry, the ancestor is not going to die yet. Isn't he coming out again?"

Ye Chen said with a smile, stretched lazily, looked up at the sky, and suddenly said in surprise:

"Huh? Isn't this the Ape Jungle? Where is this? Why does it feel so strange?"

Ye Fan said truthfully: "Ancestor has a good eye. This is indeed not the Ape Forest. This is the Secret Realm of the Mother Tree."

“In the secret realm of the mother tree!”

Obviously Ye Chen had also heard of the secret realm of the mother tree.

Hearing Ye Fan say that he was currently in the secret realm of the mother tree, an expression of great surprise and nervousness suddenly appeared on his face.

"Nonsense! Why did you come to such a dangerous place? It's full of dangers. With your current strength, you could die at any time!"

Ye Fan also knew that the ancestor had no ill intentions this time, he was just concerned about him, and explained with a smile:
"It's alright, old ancestor. Don't worry. I'm safe in here. Can you see how many plant spirits I've obtained?"

As Ye Fan spoke, he took down a bag made of animal skins from behind him as if he was offering a treasure, and opened it in front of Ye Chen.

“So many plant spirits!”

Ye Chen obviously also knew about the spirit of plants and trees, and knew how precious it was.

At this moment, he saw that there were more than a dozen plant spirits in Ye Fan’s bag. He opened his mouth in surprise, and his mouth was so big that it was definitely big enough to fit his fist.

Ye Fan rarely saw such an exaggerated expression of surprise on the old ancestor's face. He felt funny and secretly happy at the same time.

I didn't expect that our ancestors would be so fussy.

Ye Fan smiled proudly and said, "Yes! I got these by killing Yuan Liu myself."

"You killed Yuan Liu yourself? By yourself?"

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Ye Chen looked at him in disbelief.

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Yes, ancestor, except for the one I just got with the help of Flying Rat and Red Flame Bull, the others were obtained by me killing Yuan Liu alone."

"Flying rat? Red flame bull?"

After hearing his grandson's words, Ye Chen's face showed an expression of great surprise again.

As an old monster that has survived for more than 200 years, Ye Chen naturally knew about the flying rat and the red flame bull. He also knew that these two monsters were not easy to mess with!

"Flying Rat, Red Flame Bull, come back!"

Ye Fan didn't explain. He turned around and roared towards the jungle, summoning his pet and mount back.

Less than three seconds after Ye Fan finished speaking, five flying mice and a red flame bull with some small flames on its body rushed out from the woods and flew directly to Ye Fan.

Chirp, chirp, chirp--!

The five flying mice were like five dancing butterflies, flying around Ye Fan up and down, chirping in their mouths, looking very happy.

"Moo-!"

After coming to Ye Fan, the Red Flame Ox consciously extinguished the flames on its body and rubbed Ye Fan's arm with its big head in an intimate manner.

"This……"

Ye Chen looked at the group of monsters around his grandson, and the expression on his face became extremely wonderful!

In their era, both the flying rat and the red flame bull were extremely terrifying creatures!

Any flying rat or red flame bull can cause a lot of trouble to the tribe.

If the tribe wants to wipe out this little monster, it will have to pay a huge price!

The Flying Rat and the Red Flame Bull had a bad reputation, and when the tribesmen saw them they would hide and run away from them!

This also indirectly proves that the fighting power of Flying Rat and Red Flame Bull is not weak.

Now, these two notorious monsters have become the grandson's pets. Moreover, they seem to be extremely dependent on the grandson and obey his every word.

"This is... too unbelievable! Grandson, how... how did you do this?"

Even though Ye Chen had lived for more than two hundred years, he couldn't figure out how his grandson could tame the flying rat and the red flame bull and make them his pets.

Ye Fan smiled and told the truth: "To answer your question, these were given to me by my master."

"Your master...gave it to you?"

After hearing his grandson's explanation, Ye Chen suddenly understood that this possibility was indeed the highest!
Although Ye Chen had not had much contact with Luo Shu Ning and had never actually had any contact with him, he had only felt him at close range, but he could vaguely feel Luo Shu Ning's power.

He had never felt that kind of oppressive feeling from anyone else.

Therefore, when Ye Fan wanted to become Luo Xuning's disciple, Ye Chen supported him so much that he was willing to sacrifice his own little remaining soul power to help him feel the Qi and help him successfully become Luo Xuning's disciple.

Ye Fan nodded and said truthfully: “Yes, ancestor, these are all given to me by my master, I don’t have such great ability myself.

I can barely resist this flying mouse, but I have no chance of defeating this red flame bull. "

"I see, that's how it is. Now it all makes sense..."

After listening to Ye Fan's explanation, Ye Chen stroked his beard and smiled:
"Not bad, not bad! Ye Fan, your master is really good to you! He actually gave you so many treasures!

Whether it is this flying rat or this red flame bull, any one of them is a priceless treasure!
I made the right move when I asked you to become your master's apprentice!"

“Hehe, it was all thanks to my ancestors’ help, otherwise, Master wouldn’t have accepted me as his apprentice.”

Ye Fan scratched his head and smiled. He would never forget the help his ancestors had given him. Although all his skills were taught by his master, without his ancestors, he would not have had the opportunity to become their apprentice.

Without my master, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Without my ancestors, I wouldn’t be who I am today either.

Ye Chen stroked his beard and smiled, "I am just assisting you from the side. If you are dull, I can't help you even if I try my best.

After all, you and your master are destined to be together, so you can form this master-disciple relationship."

"No matter what, I will remember the kindness you have shown me. I will definitely help you stabilize your soul and rebuild your body."

After Ye Fan stood up, he looked at the ancestor seriously with a sincere expression on his face.

"Okay, okay, the old ancestor was right about you, my good grandson. You have such a powerful master. Your future achievements will definitely be much higher than the old ancestor's. It is really rare that you can still remember the old ancestor's things."

Ye Chen looked at Ye Fan with even greater satisfaction, feeling that he had not misjudged this grandson, and that it was worth it for him to have spent his soul power to help him sense the Qi.

Ye Fan continued: “Grandfather, I have consulted the master, and he said that the spirit of plants and trees also has a good effect on strengthening our mind.

He can also combine two ordinary plant spirits into a better quality plant spirit.

When the first fine plant spirit is successfully synthesized, I will give it to you first!"

"Okay, okay, my dear grandson is thoughtful!"

Ye Chen stroked his beard and laughed, very satisfied with his grandson's behavior.

"By the way, old ancestor, I remember last year or something, you mentioned something about Ape Origin Heavenly Venerable to me?"

Ye Fan suddenly thought of something and changed the topic from the matters of the spirits of plants and trees to the matters concerning Ape-Beginning Heavenly Venerable.

When Ye Fan was chatting with his master in the cave before, he heard his master mention something about Yuanshi Tianzun, and his master seemed to be very concerned about Yuanshi Tianzun's whereabouts.

"Ape Origin Heavenly Lord..."

When talking about that legendary existence, Ye Chen's expression became complicated, with a hint of awe in his hatred.

"There is no doubt that Yuanshi Tianzun is the most powerful being on our Yuanshi Planet. He is so powerful that it makes people despair..."

Ye Chen looked up at the sky, as if recalling the past, and murmured:

"Never look forward to the day when you will meet it. Stay far away from it, stay far away from it."

Ye Fan said: "My master's target seems to be that Ape Origin Heavenly Venerable..."

"Your master's goal?"

Ye Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at Ye Fan. After a few seconds of silence, he shook his head and said:

"Although your master is very powerful, I don't think he is a match for Yuanshi Tianzun."

Ye Fan was still not giving up, and continued to ask: "Then, ancestor, do you know where the Ape Beginning Heavenly Venerable is?"

Ye Chen glanced at the sky in the secret realm of the mother tree and said, "It's far away in the sky and close at hand..."

"What!" Ye Fan was so frightened by the ancestor's words that he almost lost the spirit of plants in his hands.

Ye Chen said solemnly: "Yes, it is in the secret realm of the mother tree! Legend has it that Yuanshi Tianzun is guarded by twelve zodiac messengers, each of whom is extremely powerful. If you want to see him, you must first defeat the twelve zodiac messengers around him, including the Flying Rat and the Red Flame Bull..."

While Ye Chen was speaking, he looked at the Flying Rat and the Red Flame Ox beside Ye Fan, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Ye Fan swallowed nervously and asked, "Flying Rat, Red Flame Bull...what else?"

Ye Chen said nervously, "The twelve zodiac animals are Flying Rat, Red Flame Ox, Thunder Winged Tiger, Soft Bone Rabbit, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Green Blood Snake, Flying Horse, Soul Locking Sheep, Spirit Monkey, Soul Crying Chicken, Hell Three-Headed Dog, and Tiangang Pig! Each of these zodiac animals is extremely powerful. Any one of them can flatten our primitive jungle once they leave the secret realm!"

"Flying Rat, Red Flame Ox, Thunder Winged Tiger..." When Ye Fan heard the names of the twelve zodiac animals mentioned by the ancestors, the expression on his face suddenly became tense!
He remembered that when his master sent him up, the monster he was fighting was the Thunder Winged Tiger!

Moreover, their last dinner before parting was also made of Thunder Wing Tiger meat!
“Could it be that Ape Origin Heavenly Venerable is behind the huge bronze door in the underground cave?”

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Fan couldn't help but shudder all over, feeling that it was very necessary to tell his master this news!
The ancestor also said that the master may not be a match for Yuanshi Tianzun. Before being adequately prepared, it is best not to confront Yuanshi Tianzun head-on!
Ye Chen also noticed the unnatural look on his grandson's face and asked with concern: "What's wrong, grandson? Why are you asking about this?"

Ye Fan swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "Ancestor, my master is currently exploring a huge bronze door in an underground cave.

These flying rats and red flame bulls all emerged from behind the giant bronze gate!

According to what you said, I suspect that Yuanshi Tianzun might be behind that huge bronze door!"

"Your suspicion is reasonable!"

After listening to his grandson's description, Ye Chen stroked his beard and nodded, and he also had some concerns.

Flying Rat, Red Flame Bull, Thunder Winged Tiger, these are enough to explain the problem!

What are these monsters guarding?
There must be something behind the huge bronze gate worth protecting!
Ye Fan said nervously, "Grandfather, I have to go back and inform Master of this news! So that he can be prepared!"

Ye Chen nodded and agreed: "Indeed, he should be notified. It is always better to be safe than sorry. It is always good to be prepared."

"Grandfather, there is no time to lose, let's set off immediately!"

As Ye Fan spoke, he repacked the bag he had opened and tied it on his back.

"It must be as soon as possible! I'll go back into the ring now."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot in a flash and returned to the ring.

After Ye Fan packed his luggage, he straddled the back of the Red Flame Ox and commanded it to fly towards the underground cave.

Before setting off, Ye Fan, Ye Wen and Ye Tian had already cut down all the trees near the underground cave, making the location easy to identify.

It took Ye Fan more than two hours to fly back to the entrance of the underground cave where Luo Xuning was.

"I don't know when the clan leader and Brother Tian will be back. I won't wait for them. I'll leave a message for them and go down by myself!"

Ye Fan carved a wooden stick, carved a line of words on it, and then placed the stick upright in a place near the cave where it could be easily found.

"Let's go, Red Flame Ox! Go back to the underground cave to find the master!"

After leaving a message for Ye Wen and his son, Ye Fan sat on the back of the Red Flame Ox, patted its butt, and commanded it to jump into the underground cave!
"Moo-!"

When the vision in the underground cave became dim, the Red Flame Bull let out a soft roar, and four balls of flames suddenly sprang up from its four hooves, instantly illuminating the cave again.

"Good job, Red Flame Bull. I never thought your flame could be used as a torch."

After seeing the actions of the Red Flame Bull, Ye Fan smiled and scratched its forehead.

Although they had only been together for half a day, he had already fallen deeply in love with this mount which was both smart and extremely powerful.
