Chapter 2544 Supreme Spirit Beast!

The first update, asking for subscriptions and monthly votes~~~

...

Qin Fang and Pang Sihai both didn't dare make a sound, their eyes were focused on that small lake...

The splashes on the lake surface were getting bigger and bigger, and at the same time, Qin Fang and the others felt an inexplicable terrifying aura pressing down on them... The feeling it gave them seemed to be much stronger than the terrible fierce beast that had chased them before.

"Damn... what kind of monster is going to pop up?"

Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter in his heart, and he used the small map to scout.

Whether it was something special about this small lake that blocked his reconnaissance, or the monster about to emerge was so terrifying it exceeded the range his scouting skill could detect, he wasn't sure.

However, Qin Fang's scouting skill had been upgraded to Great Grandmaster Level, which should be able to detect even entities beyond the Supreme Realm, there was no reason for him not to detect the monster's level in the small lake.

So it's likely the former...

This small lake might not be as simple as it appears on the surface, it blocked Qin Fang's detection, which is why Qin Fang found nothing.

Splish splash~~~

The splashes on the lake surface were getting bigger and wilder, almost covering the entire lake... Evidently, the monster was about to appear, and the size was incredibly enormous.

Qin Fang held his breath, completely suppressing his aura...

If it weren't for the fear of those Nether Beasts attacking, Qin Fang would even have wanted to conceal the aura of the Liu Yang Spirit Pill, as any odd auras increased the risk of being detected... facing a fierce beast with unfathomable power, even the slightest flaw could lead to disaster.

From the reaction of these Nether Beasts, the horror of this fierce beast could be discerned...

Splish~~~

Finally, there was movement on the lake surface...

A giant head slowly emerged from the water surface, then continued to extend upwards, upwards, and upwards... In a short time, it had already emerged over ten meters above the water surface, yet apart from the huge head and slender neck, Qin Fang and the others seemed to discern no real body below.

"Damn... it's huge!"

Qin Fang had seen quite a few large creatures, yet he was still stunned by this one.

That enormous head vaguely looked like that of a serpent...

But from its head extending to its neck, the skin wasn't smooth like snake skin, but rather a texture akin to scales, with sharp protrusions along its back, looking very much like thorns, exuding an overwhelming and frighteningly fierce aura.

Ah~~~

At this moment, the massive head raised high, gazing at the full moon above... a huge mouth opened, emitting a piercing yet stirring cry, almost causing Qin Fang and Pang Sihai's eardrums to feel like shattering.

Moreover, Qin Fang clearly felt the Body-Protecting Primordial Gang on him being easily shattered by this sound wave... his extremely robust body even encountered a dreadful erosion of power.

As for Pang Sihai, it was even worse...

His Protective Gang Qi shattered quite a lot, his body trembled violently, and blood seeped from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, appearing extremely grim.

"This is... a Supreme Spirit Beast?"

Seeing this formidable beast in front of them, which injured two Great Grandmaster Level experts with just a roar, Pang Sihai couldn't help but exclaim.

"If you don't want to die, don't make a sound..." Qin Fang's eyes suddenly sharpened, softly snorting, then held his breath as much as possible, not daring to move... At the same time, he secretly took out the Passage Jade Token, prepared to use it if necessary.

Throughout the journey, Qin Fang had been trying not to consider using this Passage Jade Token, even during the fierce battle with the Crocogator, he only thought of escaping...

But, facing such a terrifyingly powerful spirit beast, he had no choice but to make this kind of plan.

Indeed, Pang Sihai was right; the giant beast before them was immensely powerful and truly the legendary Supreme Spirit Beast... this

Here, the Supreme Spirit Beast refers not to the kind like the Crocogator, whose strength is equivalent to a human Supreme, the Spirit Beast King, but has already surpassed the Spirit Beast King level, a Supreme Spirit Beast... comparing human martial artists, it is akin to having surpassed human Supreme warriors.

Just like the level reached by the golden skeleton expert from whom Qin Fang obtained the Human Origin Golden Pill...

Perhaps the strength of this mighty Supreme Spirit Beast is even greater...

"Could it be the Teng Snake?"

Gazing at the enormous creature in front, its appearance vaguely resembled some legendary mighty creature... an ancient primordial beast existing since ancient times, a terrifying existence with immense strength.

However, Qin Fang quickly dismissed this possibility.

If it were truly the ancient mythical beast Teng Snake, then its strength would absolutely not just be at this level... At the very least, it should be a hundred or a thousand times stronger to make sense.

Qin Fang cautiously used his Scouting Skill on it, wanting to investigate its situation...

"Teng Jiao..."

The results came back quickly, and Qin Fang discovered its name and some brief information. After a simple check, Qin Fang had a look of comprehension, "Indeed... possessing the bloodline of the ancient mythical beast Teng Snake, and the bloodline is exceedingly pure, which is why it can reach such terrifying power..."

Buzz~~

But at that moment, Qin Fang suddenly froze, because the pair of huge eyes of Teng Jiao had already turned their attention to him at some unknown point... Even though they were hidden, they evidently could not escape Teng Jiao's eyes.

"Hiss~~~"

Feeling the gaze of Teng Jiao, Qin Fang immediately felt his body go completely rigid, an overwhelmingly terrifying aura locked onto him, making him almost unable to control himself and he nearly activated the Passage Jade Token to teleport out.

Thankfully, that Teng Jiao did not look at him several times; perhaps because Qin Fang and Pang Sihai were too weak to pose any threat in Teng Jiao's eyes, they were completely ignored...

"Whew~~~"

At this moment, Qin Fang could finally breathe a sigh of relief, at least temporarily safe.

Qin Fang was very clear that it was his risky use of the Scouting Skill that alerted the Teng Jiao... Otherwise, it would only regard Qin Fang and his group as mere Nether Beasts and not pay them much attention. Yet the Scouting Skill had an extremely sensitive reaction to entities far stronger than Qin Fang, impossible to conceal.

Fortunately, this bit of sensitivity did not pose horrible danger to Qin Fang and Pang Sihai, only giving them a scare; now they could relax.

Aah~~~

Teng Jiao did not bother with Qin Fang and Pang Sihai, but let out another shrill cry, torturing the ears and bodies of Qin Fang and Pang Sihai again, then spat out a golden orb from its mouth.

This orb was extremely large, as Qin Fang estimated, at least as big as a human head...

Yet it flew out from Teng Jiao's mouth and hovered mid-air...

Soon Qin Fang noticed the anomaly around him... The endless Moonlight Power emitted by the bright moon overhead was visibly converging towards that golden orb at high speed.

To be precise, such vast Moonlight Power was being rapidly absorbed by this golden orb...

Faced with such a situation, Qin Fang immediately ceased operating the Four Symbols Qi Cultivation Technique and dared not absorb that Moonlight Power any further... Competing for Moonlight Power with such a terrifyingly powerful Supreme Spirit Beast was no different from courting death.

"Is that Teng Jiao's inner core?"

Gazing at that golden orb, Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"No, Teng Jiao's strength has long surpassed the Supreme Realm, reaching an even more profound level... That can no longer be called an inner core; it should be called a Golden Core!"

Qin Fang judged mentally.

He possessed a Human Origin Golden Pill in his hand, left behind by a human martial artist who surpassed the Supreme Realm.

From appearance, Teng Jiao's Golden Core was very similar to the Human Origin Golden Pill in Qin Fang's possession, except the Golden Core was slightly larger... But the Human Origin Golden Pill bore the word "Human," obviously related to humans and naturally incomparable to these mighty and fearsome Exotic Beasts.

"I've often heard tales of creatures emerging from their caves on full moon nights to absorb Moonlight Power... I thought it was all nonsense, but didn't expect it to be true!"

At the same time, Qin Fang couldn't help but sigh.

Such legends were heard by many, with some even described vividly... But generally, no one believed them, and Qin Fang himself was entirely skeptical before coming here.

However, the scene before him shattered Qin Fang's previous convictions...

This situation was indeed real; right in front of him, a powerful Exotic Beast was doing precisely that.

"If only I could seize that Golden Core from Teng Jiao, it would certainly be an incredibly awesome feat..."

Seeing the Golden Core detached from Teng Jiao's body, quietly suspended in mid-air, the thought welled up in Qin Fang's mind... Like an inner core to a Spiritual Beast or Spirit Beast King, this Golden Core was also a most precious treasure to Teng Jiao, containing more than half of its essence.

If it could be obtained, and some rare Spiritual Medicine mixed in for pill refinement, it could indeed produce unbelievably potent 'Immortal Pills,' allowing one to break directly through the Supreme Realm, ascending to an even higher level without any problem.

However...

It was merely a thought; Qin Fang absolutely dared not act on it!

Just that Teng Jiao alone, even without employing the power of its Golden Core, could easily obliterate Qin Fang and his companion hundreds of times over... (To be continued.
