Even though Qin Fang temporarily had no interest in a super elixir like the Ascension Pill, that didn't stop him from being deeply interested in this treasure herb, the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus…

Of course, for now it was only interest; whether he could actually obtain it, that was really hard to say.

The location of that valley was not close, and the journey along the way was anything but peaceful. Little pests like the Bloodthirsty Mosquito kept launching attacks on them… Fortunately, all three of them were Great Grandmaster Level Experts with Protective Gang Qi shielding them. Though there were constant thrills, they ultimately came through with danger but no real risk.

"Qin Fang, your Protective Gang Qi…"

During this process, Pang Sihai quickly noticed that Qin Fang's Protective Gang Qi was somewhat different from the norm.

He and Jia Siping both had their Protective Gang Qi broken through by Bloodthirsty Mosquitos and other such small things; he was even bitten once by a Bloodthirsty Mosquito… His whole body was poisonous, so before the Bloodthirsty Mosquito could suck his blood, it was directly poisoned to death.

But the fact remained that the Protective Gang Qi of the two of them had been shattered…

Jia Siping completely ignored Qin Fang's abnormality, but Pang Sihai couldn't help speaking up… because from beginning to end, Qin Fang's Protective Gang Qi had been solid as a rock, not broken even once.

"I've infused a bit of elemental energy into my Protective Gang Qi, so the defensive power is a little stronger…"

Qin Fang didn't hide it and explained with a smiling squint; this could be considered opening up to Pang Sihai.

Of course, what Qin Fang said was true, but his words were slightly reserved!

Mixing elemental energy into Protective Gang Qi was indeed somewhat rare, but such freaks did occasionally appear in the Great Sects…

However, most of these people were similar to Qin Fang's previous situation—they took the opportunity to fuse some elemental energy into it when condensing their Protective Gang Qi, thereby transforming it into Body-Protecting Primordial Gang with one level stronger defense!

Only, after Qin Fang fused the Four Symbols Prime Qi, that kind of fusion underwent an earth-shaking change…

Previously, the elemental energy Qin Fang could use was all in the Lower Dantian's qi sea, and only that impure elemental energy could be used… The defense of his Protective Gang Qi increased, but the magnitude of the increase was quite limited—at most about thirty percent stronger than ordinary Protective Gang Qi.

With such defensive Protective Gang Qi, he could indeed withstand the attacks of Bloodthirsty Mosquitos and other small Exotic Beasts, but it absolutely wouldn't reach the level of "can't even break the defense."

Obviously, there was some trick behind Qin Fang's current situation…

The Lower Dantian was the place that stored True Qi, so Qin Fang could freely manipulate True Qi at will, but that elemental energy was almost motionless… Only some impure elemental energy could barely be used.

The Middle Dantian was the place of Gang Qi; Qin Fang's Protective Gang Qi could be freely commanded, and now the Four Symbols Prime Qi had also merged into it, reaching a balance. Qin Fang could wield them as well… Released as an offensive method, their power was terrifying beyond compare, and this had already been proven.

The second point was that the Four Symbols Prime Qi had merged into his Protective Gang Qi, causing the defensive power of Qin Fang's Protective Gang Qi to skyrocket many times over in an instant…

Four Symbols Fusion had reached a state of balance, forming a Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish…

With this extra layer of defense on his Protective Gang Qi, it naturally became even more fearsome… To break Qin Fang's Protective Gang Qi, one must first shatter this Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish—that is, disrupt the balance of the Four Symbols Prime Qi.

Clearly, this required even greater Strength…

Bloodthirsty Mosquitos and other small Exotic Beasts had decent destructive force, but that was when acting directly on the human body; with such powerful Protective Gang Qi isolating them, they couldn't even break through this layer of Protective Gang Qi…

If they couldn't break the defense, Qin Fang would naturally have a smooth journey. His Protective Gang Qi didn't shatter even once, which was why Pang Sihai was so utterly shocked.

Whether Pang Sihai believed it or not, this was all Qin Fang was willing to say.

The three of them broke through layers of encirclement and finally fought their way to the outside of that valley…

The valley was quite large, but there was only this one entrance before their eyes. If they ran into any danger and this entrance was blocked, they really might be trapped inside the valley and end up being netted like turtles in a jar by Spiritual Beasts or Spirit Beast Kings.

"It's getting late. At night we won't be able to move even if we want to… Let's set up camp here now! Rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow morning…"

After checking the time of day, Qin Fang also spoke helplessly.

They had fought their way out all the way from Teng Jiao's nest, and by the time they walked out of that cave, it was already daybreak…

After that, because Jia Siping messed around for a while, and Qin Fang's Cultivation, Four Symbols Fusion, and so on also delayed quite some time… Add in the continuous rushing just now, and it was already evening by this point; naturally it was inconvenient to continue moving.

The Ink Jade Immortal Lotus was inside this valley, but that terrifyingly powerful Spirit Beast King was also guarding there…

Back when Jia Siping came in, it was broad daylight. He saw the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus and also saw that Spirit Beast King, but he only got a glimpse of a pair of sinister, vicious eyes and the horrifying aura… Even in broad daylight he couldn't see clearly; if they groped their way in at night like this, they might get eaten by that Spirit Beast King without even knowing!

So, after thinking it over again and again, even though Qin Fang really wanted to see that Ink Jade Immortal Lotus as soon as possible, he could only rest first and wait until dawn…

Anyway, Qin Fang had already been high-profile enough and couldn't be bothered to hide anything anymore. He directly took out some tents and set them up on the spot… Although these tents had almost no defensive power against the Exotic Beasts in this Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, even the smaller ones, they were still much better than sleeping in the open.

Each person had a tent, pitched outside this valley.

The eighteen Nether Beasts patrolled around, conveniently killing any intruders that approached… Although their strength had dropped sharply after leaving the Nine Serenities Netherworld, nighttime granted them a certain boost in power; overall they were only somewhat weaker than before.

Eighteen of them together was downright terrifying…

With their protection, the three of them—Qin Fang and the others—could also rest properly…

Of course, to ensure true safety, the three of them still took turns coming out to patrol… The Nether Beasts were indeed formidable, but they were also subject to certain restrictions; compared to humans, they were still lacking quite a bit.

The first half of the night passed relatively peacefully. Aside from a dozen or so small Exotic Beasts and a mid-sized Spirit Beast Level Exotic Beast launching an attack, things were actually pretty good… These invading enemies were all taken out by the eighteen Nether Beasts, and their corpses became food for them.

This kind of blood meal was also a very important way for the eighteen Nether Beasts to make up for their own losses…

They could even, by relying on this method, gradually change their survival habits and further improve their strength… It was just that they would need the blood of extremely powerful Exotic Beasts to achieve this.

Qin Fang pondered that if these eighteen Nether Beasts devoured an Exotic Beast at the Spirit Beast King Level, they might be able to advance to Spiritual Beast Peak, or even advance to the early stage of Spirit Beast King…

If they could swallow that Teng Jiao, Qin Fang was absolutely certain that all eighteen Nether Beasts would become mighty existences at the Spiritual Beast King Peak… It was just that this was obviously nothing but a fool's dream!

"Enemy attack…"

The first half of the night had passed peacefully, and they had thought the latter half would be just as uneventful. But the sudden agitation of the eighteen Nether Beasts made Qin Fang immediately spring to his feet and rush out of the tent at top speed to check the situation!

And at this time, it was Pang Sihai who was on duty, doing the night patrol…

Soon after, Jia Siping also came out of his tent and stood beside Qin Fang, his face gloomy and vicious as he stared into the distance.

"Qin Fang, what did you find?"

Pang Sihai could clearly sense that something was off in the surrounding atmosphere, but he didn't dare go too far away to do Reconnaissance. Seeing Qin Fang come out as well, he asked with some confusion.

"This is bad, it's Gale Rift Wolves…"

Qin Fang's brows furrowed tightly, his expression extremely grim. After a moment, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh. "It's not just one or two, it's a big pack… No fewer than twenty, maybe even more!"

"Gale Rift Wolves…"

Hearing this name, Pang Sihai froze for a moment, then looked at Qin Fang in confusion.

Although he came from a prestigious family, when it came to poison he was absolutely an expert; but when it came to other things, he could turn into a complete layman… No denying he knew quite a few Exotic Beasts, but he clearly had never heard of these Gale Rift Wolves.

At most he could tell that they should be a kind of wolf…

But that didn't stop his face from instantly turning ugly, and quite pale at that!

Wolves were social creatures, basically always living in large packs… Qin Fang had just said that there were at least over twenty in this pack; it might not sound like an enormous number, but it was absolutely terrifying.

Wolves were extremely cruel and ferocious…

When a wolf pack attacked an enemy, they were always fearless of death, rushing in waves. Even as they were cut down again and again, it was hard to make them retreat… So they were an extremely difficult and powerful enemy to deal with.

Even Fierce Beasts like lions, Tigers, leopards and so on didn't dare provoke a wolf pack lightly, and would even avoid them…

The Gale Rift Wolves should also be a type of wolf, but they lived in this Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, bathed and nourished by the dense Savage Wildlands aura here. Their strength was definitely frighteningly high, and it was very likely that all of them were at the Spirit Beast Level…

Such a powerful pack of Gale Rift Wolves moving toward them was definitely not good news; you could even say it was extremely bad news.

"What do we do now?"

Pang Sihai's face was full of deep worry. This Gale Rift Wolf Pack was definitely hard to deal with, and he could only ask bitterly, since he really had no good ideas.

"What else can we do? Get ready to fight…"

Qin Fang actually rolled his eyes as he spoke. The wolf pack had already surrounded them at this point; they no longer had any other choice… (To be continued.
