Chapter 2529 Borrowing Your Spirit Gu for a Few Days!

Second update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~

...

Pang Sihai was very careful, very cautious...

The Spirit-Seeking Gu was indeed quite miraculous, but it wasn't completely without flaws; at the very least, its small range of activity made it very easy to produce minor errors.

And in an environment like this, even the smallest error could lead to extremely terrifying consequences.

Therefore, even if the Spirit-Seeking Gu confirmed that there was no danger in a certain direction, Pang Sihai would still cautiously scout ahead; the moment something felt off, he would immediately think of a way to evade or kill the target.

"Looks like these Heretic Dao experts who can make a name for themselves really aren't any soft persimmons; each of them has their own formidable methods!"

Qin Fang had the Divine Silkworm conceal its own aura; this was a special ability of the Divine Silkworm... it could absorb, and naturally it could also mask Spiritual Energy fluctuations, so even the Spirit-Seeking Gu would find it difficult to detect what was happening here.

If the Spirit-Seeking Gu dared to rashly approach this place, the Divine Silkworm probably wouldn't mind enjoying a hearty meal.

However, Qin Fang didn't rush to approach Pang Sihai, nor did he hurry to make a move on him; instead, he followed behind Pang Sihai, watching his actions.

Precisely because of this, he got to truly experience how formidable Poison Demon Pang Sihai was.

Worthy of being the direct successor of the Old Poison Monster's legacy; his skill with poison might still fall far short of his master's, but it had already reached a level of near-perfection...

He had already smeared some kind of ointment on his body, making small Exotic Beasts like Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes unwilling to approach him, even forcing them to hide far away, while some more powerful Exotic Beasts would not be intimidated by this ointment.

Pang Sihai would avoid them whenever he could, doing his best not to engage them head-on.

But if he truly couldn't avoid them, he was very decisive... he would directly scatter a packet of poison powder.

No one knew what materials this poison powder was made from; its toxicity was incredibly fierce, probably comparable to the Netherworld Bone-Rotting Soul Severing Soup smeared on the Blood Arrows that Qin Fang had obtained from Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun.

Even some extremely ferocious Exotic Beasts, once they carelessly inhaled this poison powder, would in a very short time be reduced to a puddle of foul-smelling yellow liquid... even Spiritual Beasts that had already condensed their inner core couldn't withstand it.

"What a pity..."

Qin Fang had just watched with his own eyes as a Spiritual Beast was corroded by the deadly poison into a puddle of yellow liquid, with even its inner core failing to be preserved and being corroded along with it, and he couldn't help sighing a little.

The inner core of a Spiritual Beast counted as quite a precious material; used in alchemy, even if it couldn't completely compare to Spiritual Medicine, it was only slightly inferior... in this era, Pang Sihai's behavior was simply too extravagant.

Qin Fang had so many treasures on hand—Spiritual Beasts, inner cores, Spiritual Medicine and so on... yet he still couldn't bear to waste them like this.

But Pang Sihai not only did so, he didn't even hesitate in the slightest, as if he treated that Spiritual Beast inner core as nothing but trash... this attitude of viewing wealth as dirt also made Qin Fang inwardly admire him.

However...

Qin Fang also felt that Pang Sihai's choice was quite wise.

The environment of the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm was extremely dangerous; even the smallest mistake could cost him his life. A one-hit kill that destroyed the corpse and erased all traces could instead effectively protect his own safety... besides, his goal this trip wasn't Spiritual Medicine or Spiritual Beasts.

"Time to make a move..."

Qin Fang didn't care about their objective; he only wanted to kill all these disciples of the Evil Sect and Demon Sect... having already probed some of Pang Sihai's trump cards, he didn't want to keep wasting time.

Of course, he had already checked that there were no ferocious Exotic Beasts in this area that could threaten him... even if there were one or two red ones, their color was very light, their threat level quite limited, and basically ignorable.

In the mountains and forests, the environment was very tranquil; a faint fragrance permeated the air, making one feel reluctant to leave... if tourists came here for sightseeing, they would definitely be so delighted they'd forget to go home!

Pang Sihai, however, wasn't here for sightseeing. He carefully watched his surroundings; the Spirit-Seeking Gu had already been sent out by him, Reconnaissanceing the movements around them, and with each step forward, he was extremely cautious!

Although doing so would cost him quite a bit of time, it was still something he could afford.

Buzz~~

Suddenly, Pang Sihai's footsteps halted; a heart-piercing pain shot through his chest, nearly making him collapse on the spot... at the same time, a mouthful of bright red Blood Arrow spurted from his mouth, splattering onto the ground and immediately producing a sizzling sound.

Good grief, worthy of being the disciple of the Old Poison Monster, worthy of the title Poison Demon; even the blood he spat out contained strange毒性, that was truly terrifying!

"Something's gone wrong..."

Pang Sihai immediately tapped a few points on his chest, his expression turning extremely grave as he silently warned himself.

The only explanation for something like this happening... was that the Spirit-Seeking Gu had been attacked!

It wasn't just an ordinary attack—it had directly and forcibly severed its connection with him, Pang Sihai... The relationship between Gu insects and their masters is extremely intimate: when the master dies, the Gu can't live either; conversely, if the Gu dies, the master will also suffer a severe loss of elemental energy.

Pang Sihai was not a professional Witch Gu Master. Although the Spirit-Seeking Gu he refined was linked to his mind, it wasn't as tightly bound as with those Witch Gu Masters... When the Spirit-Seeking Gu suddenly suffered an accident, he was indeed affected somewhat, but it wasn't as serious as he had imagined.

"How could this happen?"

At the same time, Pang Sihai also found it very strange.

The Spirit-Seeking Gu wasn't an ordinary Gu insect. Its sensitivity to Spiritual Energy was extremely sharp, and coupled with its tiny size and extremely swift flying speed, the whole journey had been safe and sound without the slightest mishap—yet it just suddenly met with disaster.

There were only two possibilities for the Spirit-Seeking Gu to have its connection with Pang Sihai cut off...

Either the Spirit-Seeking Gu had been directly eaten and completely killed—in which case, wanting to reconnect would be out of the question.

Or the Spirit-Seeking Gu had been imprisoned by someone, who then used a special method to forcibly sever the connection between the two... Only, to be able to pull this off, that person must certainly be a master with astonishing attainment in Gu Technique.

Otherwise, first, they wouldn't be able to evade the probing of the Spirit-Seeking Gu, and second, they simply couldn't accomplish this...

However, when Pang Sihai recalled the thirty people who had entered the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm together, he couldn't help but shake his head... there seemed to be no such candidate.

Thinking it over and over, in the end he could only assume that the Spirit-Seeking Gu had been attacked by some extremely special kind of Exotic Beast...

"Who?"

However... he suddenly felt that something was very off. His gaze immediately shot toward Qin Fang, who was hiding in the dark, and at the same time his hand flicked, sending a handful of Iron Caltrops shooting out, their speed pushed to the extreme and his technique extremely seasoned.

Pa pa pa pa~~~

Facing such a killing strike, Qin Fang didn't dare to be careless...

These Iron Caltrops were not only smeared with a bone-corroding, heart-eating deadly poison, they were also forged from special materials, specifically to pierce the Protective Gang Qi of Great Grandmaster Level Experts. If one was even slightly inattentive, one would fall victim to Pang Sihai's sneak attack.

So Qin Fang simply stopped hiding. With a sweep of his powerful Palm Energy, all those incoming Iron Caltrops were blocked by him... He even casually pocketed those dozens of Iron Caltrops.

In just a brief instant, Pang Sihai had already shot out dozens of Iron Caltrops in succession. This level of Hidden Weapon technique—among the experts of the Tang Sect, there probably weren't many who could match it... Of course, though the Tang Sect was strong, it could only be considered a second-rate Sect, far from comparable to the Evil Sect, Demon Sect, or the Five Great Sects.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Pang Sihai's master, the Old Poison Monster, was only a Heretic Dao Loose Cultivator. For decades he had rampaged viciously through the Martial World, and the wealth he'd accumulated under his hands was extremely substantial. With only this one disciple, Pang Sihai, he naturally never stinted on him.

Whether it was the profound Martial Arts he cultivated, or all kinds of deadly poisons, Hidden Weapons, and so on, he fully armed his disciple from head to toe... Otherwise, how could he feel at ease letting Pang Sihai enter the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm to explore and seek out secrets?

"It's you!"

Seeing Qin Fang reveal himself, Pang Sihai was slightly stunned... then his eyes narrowed, becoming several degrees more vigilant and guarded.

Qin Fang was the first place winner of the Five Sects Grand Competition, defeating Li Wuhua, who had been the heavy favorite to win. Among the young disciples of the Evil Sect and Demon Sect, this was no secret anymore... They had entered the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm together, and Qin Fang was the first to enter. He was obviously the most eye-catching one, so Pang Sihai couldn't fail to recognize him even if he wanted to.

"Pang Sihai, pleasure to meet you, pleasure to meet you..."

Qin Fang responded with a squinting smile, looking all harmless and innocent, yet making Pang Sihai extremely on guard.

"Was it you who destroyed my Spirit-Seeking Gu?"

Pang Sihai ignored Qin Fang's teasing and instead asked, his expression dark.

The Spirit-Seeking Gu was a Spirit Gu he had obtained with great difficulty. Back then he had spent quite a lot of effort on it, and even his master, the Old Poison Monster, had praised his good fortune... Yet he hadn't expected that such a precious Spirit-Seeking Gu would end up ruined by Qin Fang.

"Destroyed?"

Qin Fang raised a finger and wagged it with a smile. "No, no, no, I'm not that cruel a person. I just thought it was rather cute, so I wanted to borrow it and raise it for a few days..."

As he spoke, Qin Fang opened his palm, where a very tiny golden insect lay quietly.

This was the Spirit-Seeking Gu!

At this moment, it was quite calm... but it hadn't died. From time to time it would still twitch a few times.

However, Pang Sihai could also see that the Spirit-Seeking Gu seemed to have suffered some severe blow. Its luster had dimmed considerably, its aura was somewhat chaotic. Although it hadn't completely kicked the bucket, its elemental energy had been greatly damaged!

"You..."

Hearing Qin Fang's words, Pang Sihai suddenly felt an urge to vomit blood.

He secretly used a Secret Technique, trying to re-establish contact with the Spirit-Seeking Gu... Unfortunately, it was all in vain. Although the Spirit-Seeking Gu twitched over there, it was obviously not responding to Pang Sihai's summons; at most, it was just feebly struggling a few times! (To be continued.
