...

The Crocogator's Tendon is a rare treasure... Although Qin Fang is not too sure whether this thing can bind a Supreme Realm powerhouse, it's not too difficult to use it to bind those Great Grandmaster-level experts.

"People from the Evil Sect and Demon Sect... I hope your luck isn't too bad!"

Qin Fang didn't dare provoke those fierce exotic beasts in the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm.

Maybe not all of them can compare with a ferocious exotic beast like the Crocogator, but in such an environment, it's better to keep a low profile.

One might end up gaining a small victory but suffering a great loss; eliminating one small creature might attract a whole group...

When Qin Fang took down a Bloodthirsty Mosquito, he had such a "tragedy" occur. If it weren't for the fearsome Divine Silkworm easily taking out that group of Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes, Qin Fang might have been sucked dry long ago... No amount of Blood Replenishing Pills would have sufficed.

After this incident, Qin Fang tried his best not to provoke even the most insignificant little things...

While these ferocious exotic beasts could be left alone, Qin Fang didn't plan to show any courtesy to the people from the Evil Sect and Demon Sect who entered the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm with him... Du Xingwu from before was just a test run; the real feast is next.

The Crocogator is truly a treasure trove, and Qin Fang didn't waste any of it, neatly sorting everything; even the seemingly useless Crocogator meat, he already found a use for it.

Time flew by quickly, and the sky gradually brightened.

Finally... daylight!

"Time to set off..."

With the dawn, visibility improved significantly, no longer blurred like at night... Though a Great Grandmaster-level expert like him is only slightly limited by the lack of light, it still remains an important external factor in battles between powerful figures.

Humans are indeed at a disadvantage compared to those fierce exotic beasts in this aspect...

Of course, the color-blind Crocogator can only blame its ancestors for betraying it, which is quite helpless.

Stepping out of this defense formation, Qin Fang immediately felt a different aura around him...

On the mini-map, many red, green, and blue dots appeared instantly... a new use for the Scouting Skill.

Red dots represent organisms with a significant threat, including humans or exotic beasts, surpassing Qin Fang's own strength. The deeper the color, the greater the threat, and the stronger the opponent.

Blue dots represent organisms with a certain threat, matching Qin Fang's strength... again, including humans or exotic beasts.

Green dots represent organisms with some threat, but weaker than Qin Fang; the lighter the color, the smaller the threat, and the weaker the opponent. If the color turns almost grayish white, it means they pose no threat at all.

This setup is similar to online game settings but is extremely useful to Qin Fang. At least, he can see all potential enemies at a glance, unlike before when it only showed humans... Now it includes exotic beasts, which could be animals or plants, determined by the threat level.

Qin Fang's Scouting Skill has been forcibly advanced to the Great Grandmaster Level by accumulating a massive amount of experience... becoming the first skill for Qin Fang to rightfully reach the Great Grandmaster Level. Fortunately, the Crocogator granted such huge experience points; otherwise, Qin Fang's limited experience points wouldn't have sufficed.

As for Qin Fang's level, it is still stuck at Level 7, seemingly lacking something to formally step into Level 8...

He's been eagerly awaiting that long-lost level-up notification!

"Set off..."

Although Qin Fang hasn't fully comprehended all the intricacies of the Great Grandmaster Level Scouting Skill, the expansion of the mini-map function alone already brings considerable convenience, clearly displaying all potential enemies on it.

The coverage range of the mini-map also doubled from the original one hundred meters to two hundred meters...

Such a distance is very close for Great Grandmaster-level experts, who can easily cover it in a few seconds, but for Qin Fang, it's still a significant advance; under certain special conditions, it is a winning magical treasure!

Just like now, Qin Fang discovered an exotic beast about one hundred and fifty meters away, with strength nearing the Spirit Beast King Level... though it has no intention to act now, if Qin Fang accidentally intrudes on its territory, it surely won't be polite.

However, under the coverage of the mini-map, it revealed itself early on, prompting Qin Fang to choose another path and leave.

As Qin Fang ventured deeper into the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, the dangers multiplied, but so did the benefits he reaped... The mini-map not only reveals 'enemies', it also indicates valuable 'herbs' and 'minerals' with different markers.

Thus, Qin Fang can easily spot these precious herbs, rare minerals, even spiritual medicines, and spiritual ores…

Then, either eliminating the guarding fierce exotic beasts or diverting them, he finds various ways to acquire these herbs and minerals himself... In just over two hours, Qin Fang already profited greatly.

If it weren't for having the Props Box, this 'cheat divine artifact', carrying so many herbs and minerals would have made him a target for numerous fierce exotic beasts… He wouldn't be able to leisurely and enjoyably proceed as he is now.

"Hmm..."

This peaceful time lasted until he discovered a slight anomaly, causing him to pause.

A person appeared on the mini-map...

"Poison Demon Pang Sihai?"

Upon seeing the silhouette, Qin Fang immediately used his Scouting Skill and discovered who it was; surprisingly, it was Poison Demon Pang Sihai, one of the Evil Sect Three Heroes, as well as the direct disciple of the Evil Sect's third-ranked Old Poison Monster.

His status as one of the Evil Sect Three Heroes is secondary to his strength; what truly makes people fearful is his mastery of poison arts learned from the Old Poison Monster... It can be said that his skills may even surpass some of the old monsters of the Tang Sect.

"To kill or not to kill?"

Upon seeing Poison Demon Pang Sihai, Qin Fang couldn't help but mumble this to himself.

There was no personal grudge between them, but their opposing positions of justice and evil meant that their encounter is destined for a fight to the death... similar to Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun's previous pursuit of Qin Fang.

"Kill!"

Without hesitation, Qin Fang quickly made up his mind.

At this moment, Pang Sihai was less than two hundred meters from Qin Fang, slowly moving, but his speed could not compare to Qin Fang's.

However...

"This Pang Sihai is quite remarkable..."

Qin Fang was surprised to find that Pang Sihai could evade the perception of the fierce exotic beasts and choose a relatively safe path... Qin Fang briefly wondered if Pang Sihai had his own mini-map!

Of course, such a thing is clearly impossible.

But Pang Sihai accomplishing this clearly indicates that he possesses some unique abilities...

For instance...

"Ah, so that's it!"

Qin Fang carefully compared the surroundings of Pang Sihai and immediately discovered the source, "Spirit-Seeking Gu..."

With the name "Poison Demon," Pang Sihai naturally isn't known for nothing. Having obtained the true teachings from the Old Poison Monster, he's learned about seventy to eighty percent of his master's skills...

The Old Poison Monster's name is quite notorious in the martial world. His poison arts stem not only from his cultivation of the Myriad Poisons Scripture but also include elements learned from other poison masters, such as the Miao Jiang's gu techniques and the Tang Sect's toxic hidden weapons...

Pang Sihai naturally understands how to cultivate gu and created a Spirit-Seeking Gu...

The Spirit-Seeking Gu, as its name implies, can seek out spiritual energy... In practice, this gu insect is cultivated through remarkably unique methods, granting it an exceptionally keen sense for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, easily detecting the spiritual energy within humans or spiritual beasts.

Even though human martial artists absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and transform it into their own True Qi or Gang Qi, it's just a change in form without a significant fundamental change... something the Spirit-Seeking Gu can easily detect.

Moreover, the Spirit-Seeking Gu can determine strength based on the amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within.

The reason Pang Sihai could evade those terrifyingly powerful exotic beasts is that the Spirit-Seeking Gu is informing him of the threats.

However, there is only one Spirit-Seeking Gu, and though its flying speed isn't slow, scanning the area takes considerable time, which is why Pang Sihai's progress is much slower!

"Even bloodthirsty mosquitoes and the like don't bite him..."

Simultaneously, Qin Fang found this aspect equally surprising, "It seems the Evil Sect has done ample preparation for this journey to the Savage Secret Realm... perhaps the Demon Sect as well!"

"Now, things are becoming troublesome..."

Originally, he thought the Evil Sect and Demon Sect were just preliminarily scouting with maps, but unexpectedly, the Evil Sect and Demon Sect made thorough preparations, apparently gearing up to locate the Savage Secret Realm entirely.

It's possible there's also some undisclosed conspiracy involved...

However, this doesn't have much to do with Qin Fang, and he even personally hopes to locate the true location of the Savage Secret Realm.

At present, he may not have the qualifications to explore the secrets of the Savage Secret Realm, but when he advances to the Supreme Realm or even reaches the Four Emperors level, he must attempt to conquer the Savage Secret Realm for his future path.

"No matter what, you… I must take you down!"

Regardless of what the Evil Sect and Demon Sect intend, this won't change Qin Fang's decision... He immediately concealed himself, and at the same time, used the Divine Silkworm to mask his spiritual energy, preventing detection by the Spirit-Seeking Gu! (To be continued.
