Chapter 2517 - 2011: Fragmented Mystic Realm Map

Du Xingwu probably never expected to die in such a humiliating way...

A small hole appeared in his heart...

If it weren't for the blood spurting out, it might not have been so easily noticed.

However, looking at that blood gives one an unsettling feeling... it's not crimson, but gray-white. If someone hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe this scene.

"Hiss..."

Qin Fang cautiously leaned in to observe again and again, unable to help but take a sharp breath.

He knew the Divine Silkworm was terrifying and abnormal, but he didn't expect it to be this extreme...

Earlier, when it effortlessly turned the bloodthirsty mosquito into a dry corpse, Qin Fang could accept it somewhat, given the small size of the bloodthirsty mosquito, not even enough for the Divine Silkworm in one bite... Even three bloodthirsty mosquitoes wouldn't be much different.

But the scene before him was utterly shocking to Qin Fang.

Du Xingwu was dead...

And he died a very miserable and bizarre death...

The wound at his heart was merely a trigger, although it was fatal, for a Grandmaster-level expert, he wouldn't die so quickly... at least Du Xingwu tried his best to save himself.

The Blood Demon Technique is far superior to most skills, and even with such a fatal wound, it has some chance of survival...

However, Du Xingwu actually died very quickly...

And without any chance of saving himself, he just died like that.

The true cause of death was the Divine Silkworm...

In that brief moment, it drained the essence of Du Xingwu's remaining heart blood, or perhaps drained the essence part of this mass of heart blood, resulting in Du Xingwu's death and the blood turning this bizarre color.

Of course, a certain amount of luck was involved in the Divine Silkworm taking down Du Xingwu so easily...

The battle with the Ironskin Porcupine had exhausted Du Xingwu significantly, to the point he couldn't even summon his Protective Gang Qi.

Without the protection of the Protective Gang Qi, how could Du Xingwu's body withstand the Divine Silkworm's powerful piercing?

Strictly speaking, even with the Protective Gang Qi, it might not withstand the Divine Silkworm's powerful piercing, let alone an unprotected body...

"Too overbearing..."

Seeing the Divine Silkworm return to his shoulder, Qin Fang couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, he felt extremely fortunate.

If the Divine Silkworm had such terrifying power back then, Qin Fang probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it and would've been turned into a dry corpse long ago, no matter how many Blood Replenishing Pills he had prepared... The Divine Silkworm's lethality is too terrifying.

Of course, this is only in the Savage Secret Realm, where the Divine Silkworm can exert its strongest power, making this possible...

If it were outside or even in the Underground Palace, reaching such a peak would be difficult...

The same applies to Little Dragon...

This is due to the external environment, strong enough to restrain even Divine Beasts.

However, for Qin Fang, this isn't necessarily a bad thing; instead, it's actually a very good thing. At least, with the protection of these two powerful escorts, Qin Fang's upcoming retreat for advancement will be much safer!

Understanding these, Qin Fang no longer pondered over these matters and turned his attention to Du Xingwu instead.

The Ironskin Porcupine was dead, and Qin Fang had already promised to give the inner core to the Divine Silkworm... The little creature, after draining Du Xingwu's heart blood, wasn't satisfied and casually drained the inner core too, leaving only a shriveled skin.

However, even excluding this inner core, the Ironskin Porcupine's skin and flesh are valuable... After all, it's a Spirit Beast, and its body contains a significant amount of spiritual energy. Its flesh can strengthen the body, replenish energy, and prolong life, making it an infinitely better gift than Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng for some elderly people.

Qin Fang himself doesn't need it, but he can give it as a gift... to Elder Tang, Elder Chu, Elder Qu, Elder Xu, etc., where it will be very useful.

Thus, Qin Fang unceremoniously threw the Ironskin Porcupine's body into the Props Box.

Little Dragon and Divine Silkworm are Divine Beasts; Snow Fox Ferret is a Spirit Beast but is Qin Fang's pet; Chrysanthemum Pig's level is unknown but is also considered Qin Fang's half-pet; Black Water Xuan Snake is a Spirit Beast King, yet not slain; Xuan Shui Python, Three-eyed Viper, etc., all have not reached the Spirit Beast level...

It seems that this Ironskin Porcupine is the first Spiritual Beast Qin Fang has captured!

Of course, it doesn't count as Qin Fang's kill, but rather something that fell right into his lap...

The Ironskin Porcupine was easier to handle, and Qin Fang promptly checked Du Xingwu's body...

A sword that looked quite extraordinary, Qin Fang naturally took it without hesitation. Such swords are incredibly valuable in those Great Sects, and only elite disciples as exceptional as Du Xingwu have the chance to obtain them. How could it be left abandoned in the Savage Secret Realm?

A somewhat damaged book, probably some kind of martial arts manual. Qin Fang glanced over it; severely incomplete, missing several pages both at the beginning and end, and as he flipped through the middle... dammit, some parts were missing too.

Undoubtedly, such a manual can't be used for cultivation... unless someone wants to die!

However, Qin Fang had no problem with this. With a simple application of his Scouting Skill, he assessed the manual and threw the severely incomplete "Primordial Demonic Divine Technique" into the Props Box, planning to study it when he had time.

A map...

"Map?"

Qin Fang froze for a moment, then immediately held the map in his hand. "Could this be the map fragment of the Savage Secret Realm?"

A while ago, Qin Fang already knew that the Sinister Sect had obtained a map fragment of the Savage Secret Realm, which led them to mobilize their forces to seize opportunities. Qin Fang's unexpected involvement had caused some noticeable deviations.

However, later he discovered that the Demonic Gate had also joined in. He mused whether the Demonic Gate had also obtained such map fragments...

Du Xingwu and others entered the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm to investigate, definitely searching for routes to enter the Savage Secret Realm...

Before entering the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, Qin Fang had pondered whether Du Xingwu and other disciples of the Demonic Gate and Sinister Sect might hold a map of the secret realm... naturally, it would be a replica of the map fragment. Such things are easy to sort out.

Now, just in time, he found a map on Du Xingwu's body, and Qin Fang's heart suddenly felt a bit heated...

The map was obviously a replica, and from the patterns, it's not hard to see that the original pattern should have been engraved on some kind of animal skin...

"This map... is such a trap!"

But when Qin Fang actually studied the map, he couldn't help but complain.

The map was incomplete, seemingly just a mere corner, and besides indicating a few mountain peaks and a small river, there wasn't much else... Although the central location on the map seems to hide something, Qin Fang couldn't decipher what that strange pattern actually represented.

"This makes no sense; who knows where this place is..."

Qin Fang cursed angrily, then temporarily tossed the map into the Props Box.

Once Qin Fang finished tidying up and confirmed there was nothing more valuable on Du Xingwu, he planned to continue the journey... Oddly, this secret realm seemed isolated from the world, yet the sky still had a sun, and the stars and moon completely paralleled the outside world, with sunrise and sunset as well.

When Qin Fang entered the secret realm, it was already afternoon. After some hustling, the time approached evening... This desolate secret realm posed far greater dangers at night than during the day, so Qin Fang had to find a resting place before sunset.

"Argh argh argh~~"

At this moment, Little Dragon suddenly emerged, running in front of Qin Fang and began to call out.

Earlier, the Divine Silkworm dealt with Du Xingwu, and Little Dragon ran off to scout. Unexpectedly, it returned so quickly with information, taking Qin Fang by surprise. "You found the place?"

Little Dragon immediately pointed to the nearby mountain forest, proudly indicating, as if presenting a treasure.

Then, with Little Dragon's guidance, Qin Fang brought the Divine Silkworm along, cautiously parting the dense surrounding underbrush, and slipped into the forest resembling a Primitive Wilderness.

Luckily, they didn't travel far, just about fifty meters when Qin Fang saw the place Little Dragon mentioned...

"Pigsty?"

After a simple inspection, Qin Fang muttered something with a strange expression.

Before him lay a cave situated at the mountain's base... more precisely, a pigsty.

However, the owner of this pigsty had already become a corpse, thrown into the Props Box by Qin Fang... Now, Qin Fang understood why Du Xingwu had caught the attention of the Ironskin Porcupine.

"Forget it, let's make do..."

Under normal circumstances, Qin Fang might not dwell in a pigsty, but given the unique situation, he had no choice but to settle for it.

Although this cave was a pigsty, it was relatively concealed, and its interior space was sizable. By sealing the entrance, Qin Fang could ensure his safety... It not only allowed for overnight stays but also served as a temporary retreat.

The surrounding environment was excellent, the Savage aura was quite dense, and Qin Fang found a small, nearly unnoticed Barbaric God Stone in the pigsty... making him exceptionally excited.

Naturally, he understood why the Ironskin Porcupine had built its lair here, not because it was concealed, nor because the environment suited it, but solely due to the presence of this Barbaric God Stone...(To be continued.
