Chapter 18 Demon Beast Bloodline
Chapter 18 Demon Beast Bloodline
"This crater..."
Qin Fang stood beside a skeleton of a monster that reeked of blood.
"There's actually someone faster than me?"
Qin Fang found it a bit strange.
Several hours after entering the mountain, this was the first time he had encountered someone slaying a demon beast right in front of him.
The Spirit Rhinoceros Step goes without saying; although this movement technique is extremely fast, it also consumes a considerable amount of spiritual energy.
Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, Qin Fang would not use it at all, but would rely on the acceleration of the Cloud-Stepping Boots to move forward into the depths of the crater.
Even so, Qin Fang was confident that no one else could get ahead of him.
This doesn't mean that the Cloud-Stepping Boots are unparalleled throughout history and are something that others can hardly match.
Simply because...
There are just too many monsters in the crater!
Under normal circumstances, a disciple of one of the seven sects would encounter several attacks by demonic beasts within a few hours after entering the mountains.
With the help of his enhanced vision, Qin Fang fundamentally solved this problem.
Unless there are mature spiritual herbs that interest him guarding the nearby monster, Qin Fang would only glance at them from afar before taking a detour.
Even though it might waste some time, it's still much less time than killing the monsters and then traveling!
That's why Qin Fang has never encountered such a situation on the front lines.
"Never mind!"
"Heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river..."
"Don't underestimate the people of the world. Perhaps others have some tricks up their sleeves and can thrive in these mountains surrounded by powerful enemies."
"But this also served as a reminder to me!"
"From now on, we need to be extra careful!"
"If this is the map of Yellow Maple Valley, then the mature spiritual herb I need should be in an ancient pool ahead..."
Qin Fang calmed his mind and began to focus on the present.
Disassemble animal bones and recycle them – we can't let them go to waste!
His most important task right now is to gather more mature spiritual herbs! He needs at least twenty or so of these herbs to have any hope of advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage after leaving the forbidden area.
…………
Several more hours passed.
Qin Fang stood on a desolate hill, muttering something to himself.
At his feet lay a huge red and black spirit rat, now dead in two, lifeless.
Not far from the giant spirit rat, there was a corpse dressed in brightly colored clothes, which looked as if it had been pierced through the chest by some kind of sharp weapon.
Why bother...?
"Why did you have to waste the power of my talisman!"
"It seems that this sword-type talisman treasure obtained from Feng Yue can probably only be activated three or four more times before it reaches the end of its lifespan."
Qin Fang looked at the talisman in his hand with a touch of heartache.
After obtaining this item from Feng Yue, he valued it immensely! He was even reluctant to test how much power it still had left.
"Sigh~"
Qin Fang sighed and began to clean up the mess.
"Hopefully you have something good on you, otherwise I'll be at a huge loss!"
Qin Fang turned his gaze to the disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain not far away.
This person...
Ever since entering the crater, Qin Fang's goal has been to find mature spiritual herbs and plants.
Even if he encountered someone, Qin Fang was able to avoid them by knowing their whereabouts in advance.
He's not some kind of demon; he only came to the Crimson Forbidden Land for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Killing someone... aside from recovering their magical artifacts and converting them into spirit stones, there's no other benefit!
Moreover, cultivators who dare to enter the crater are all quite skilled; they are not beings that can be easily killed.
Not only are the returns minimal, but they also come with certain risks.
Qin Fang was naturally not very interested in this matter, and stayed away from the others in the ring mountain, relying on his 'vision' advantage to roam among the countless mountain monsters.
but!
His lack of interest doesn't mean others share the same view.
This disciple from Spirit Beast Mountain, using his spirit rat from somewhere, caught a whiff of Qin Fang's aura and has been relentlessly pursuing him ever since.
At the beginning.
Qin Fang thought it was just a coincidence, that the same person kept appearing around him.
Once or twice, it might just be a coincidence.
But if it happens several times in a row, it's definitely not just a simple coincidence!
Is someone deliberately tracking me?
Once this thought crossed Qin Fang's mind, he decided to kill.
Whatever the other party's purpose is, following you like a leech for so long definitely doesn't mean they have any good intentions!
then……
Turn around and give chase!
With the talisman in hand and the incredible ability to change one's vision, this disciple from Spirit Beast Mountain was no match for Qin Fang and could only flee in panic.
But unfortunately...
escape?
Where can you run to!
Even with the Spirit Rhinoceros Step and Cloud-Stepping Boots, despite the man's best efforts, Qin Fang still managed to catch up with him and kill him on the spot.
Qin Fang simply didn't want to delay his progress in collecting spiritual herbs just to kill someone.
It's not that he can't kill!
This person's act of thinking he was an easy target is tantamount to courting death.
"Tsk tsk~"
"It's better than nothing!"
"It's a bit of a shame that these insect eggs died..."
"But there's nothing we can do about it, since its host is already dead."
Qin Fang opened the storage bag of the Spirit Beast Mountain disciple and began to take stock of his gains.
Barely enough, it can offset the damage from activating the small knife talisman twice!
This is also why Qin Fang was unwilling to launch attacks in all directions, ambushing or hunting down disciples from the other six sects...
Too bad!
Before the forbidden area closes, you might be able to kill a cultivator and obtain a mature spiritual herb from their storage bag.
But now the fog in the crater has just lifted, and most people are still fighting against the monsters in the mountains. There are no spiritual herbs or elixirs in their storage bags.
Qin Fang used the spinning wheel to recycle most of the items in his storage bag, and then put the items that he might be able to use into his own storage bag. His gaze then fell on the spirit rat lying on the ground.
If nothing unexpected happens, the reason why the disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain were able to track him down is thanks to this beast.
[Tradeable monster: ? ? ? ? ?, distance 3 meters.]
[Tradable Secondhand Items: Groundhog Bloodline (Pure), Mutated Smell (Beginner), Filthy Fang (Complete)]
Upon looking at it, some information about the beast was immediately displayed to Qin Fang.
"It's probably this beast's mutated sense of smell that allowed it to track me for so long from such a distance!"
Qin Fang pondered this in his heart.
"Speaking of which..."
"Can I actually use the bloodline abilities and other such things of this demonic beast?"
Qin Fang suddenly thought of something.
"How about... we give it a try?"
The power of demon beast bloodlines far surpasses that of human cultivators, but they are no match for human cultivators due to their low intelligence.
If Qin Fang could use the supernatural powers and bloodlines of demonic beasts, the increase in his strength would be immeasurable.
"etc!"
"It's true that there are still transactions today..."
"But to waste it on this beast would be far too wasteful!"
"It's true that the Crimson Forbidden Land is home to countless exotic demonic beasts, many of which require several peak Qi Refining stage disciples to deal with!"
"And some are of low strength, only at the first level, making them extremely easy to kill!"
"No one knows exactly how many demonic beasts reside in this forbidden area..."
"But if we were to determine the strongest blood-red forbidden land monster!"
"That must be it..."
"Ink Dragon!"
"This beast stubbornly resisted the mysterious restrictions and forcibly broke through the limitations of a first-tier demon beast, becoming a second-tier demon beast comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
"Therefore... the bloodline of this beast is probably not as simple as it seems?"
Qin Fang suddenly thought of something.
