...

"Retreat! To the valley..."

Qin Fang's expression was quite solemn as he responded simply.

At this moment, the situation was quite unfavorable for them, and engaging in a head-on battle with the Split Wind Wolf Pack was highly unwise... a strategic retreat would be far more prudent!

"To the valley..."

Pang Sihai hesitated for a moment, looking at Qin Fang with some puzzlement.

However, Qin Fang didn't hesitate, and slowly retreated towards the valley with Jia Siping... the eighteen Nether Beasts were responsible for covering their retreat, preventing the Split Wind Wolf Pack from coming over to intervene or disrupt them!

Although the eighteen Nether Beasts couldn't stop the Split Wind Wolf King and its pack, they could at least provide some assistance for Qin Fang and his team's safe retreat. Even if all were to fall, it would be a worthy sacrifice!

"Wait for me..."

Pang Sihai didn't dare hesitate either, realizing that if he didn't follow, he would become the sole target of the Split Wind Wolf Pack...

However, their retreat wasn't fast, and they steadily moved backwards... this way, they wouldn't provoke the wolf pack. Otherwise, if the wolf pack launched an attack, retreating would become quite troublesome, and the losses would be significant.

The valley entrance was relatively small, Qin Fang estimated that if the Split Wind Wolf Pack wanted to rush in, at most only five or six could enter at once... with this scale, as long as the Split Wind Wolf King was not leading the charge, they could easily hold them off.

"Where is that Spirit Beast King?"

However, Qin Fang's intent was clearly not just passive defense; he immediately turned to ask Jia Siping.

"Deep in this valley, there's a small pond where the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus grows, and the Spirit Beast King is right beside that pond..."

Jia Siping promptly pointed towards the depths of the valley.

From their position, looking out, all they could see was darkness without a hint of their destination.

"Qin Fang, you're not planning to..."

Pang Sihai apparently guessed Qin Fang's plan, but was also quite worried... this was not much different from directly confronting the Split Wind Wolf King.

"Since we have no way out, why not turn their plan against them, and drive the wolves to provoke the tiger... both being Spirit Beast Kings, their strength should not differ much, and with the help of these Split Wind Wolves, the victor is hard to predict!"

Qin Fang expressed nonchalantly.

This was currently the only option... otherwise, the three of them could only use the Passage Jade Token to teleport back to the Cultivation Secret Chamber, but clearly Qin Fang was quite unwilling to do so.

This risky plan, driving wolves to provoke a tiger, probably posed an enormous risk; one false move could result in their deaths, leaving no chance for escape... but with the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus such a precious elixir right before them, not seizing the opportunity would be too regrettable.

In a conflict between two powerful Spirit Beast Kings, they might not lack a chance to profit from the chaos...

"Let's go with your plan..."

Pang Sihai pondered for a moment, and though still somewhat worried, he agreed... he recognized that being weak on his own, he naturally had to follow Qin Fang's lead.

Moreover, Qin Fang's reasoning made considerable sense.

That unknown Spirit Beast King, defending such a valley and protecting the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus, must be incredibly formidable, perhaps similar to the Crocogator, and likely had reached the Spiritual Beast King Peak Level.

Its reason for guarding the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus was likely hoping to use the lotus seeds to advance to a higher level... whether it succeeds or fails, it is one of its few hopes!

The Golden Wolf King, Split Wind Wolf King's strength was also formidable, yet Qin Fang contemplated that it might still be inferior to the creature in the valley. However, it had the wolf pack as its support, proving that many ants can bite a giant to death, and many wolves might also succeed in taking down a strong opponent...

A war would undoubtedly cause great chaos in the valley, and that Spirit Beast King had to ensure the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus wasn't damaged. It surely would compress the battle line towards the valley entrance, and thus the rear would be vulnerable, presenting an opportunity for Qin Fang and his team!

"You two work together to hold off the wolf pack; next steps are up to me..."

Qin Fang and his companions retreated into the valley, and the Split Wind Wolf Pack slowly advanced. Qin Fang's face showed a serious expression as he gave a brief instruction before stealthily vanishing into the darkness, heading towards the valley's depths.

Pang Sihai was an expert in poisons, while Jia Siping's swordsmanship was remarkably sharp. Together, they were a potent duo in both offense and defense... unless the Split Wind Wolf King personally engaged, they could definitely withstand the assault.

As for Qin Fang, he quickly withdrew the eighteen Nether Beasts and then swiftly headed to the valley's depths...

It was nighttime, the moonlight enchanting, yet the valley remained quite tranquil.

Perhaps because there lives a frightfully powerful Spirit Beast King here, small exotic beasts are rare to see in this place. Qin Fang charged in all the way and hardly encountered any trouble; even if he did, it was quickly taken care of by the eighteen Nether Beasts.

The valley is quite deep. Qin Fang estimated that after entering from the valley's entrance, it would be at least over a thousand meters to reach the bottom...

From afar, one could see a mysterious pool. Behind the pool stood towering stone walls of a mountain range, with thin streams gently trickling down, feeding into the pool. Even before getting close, Qin Fang could vaguely smell a subtle fragrance.

Ink Jade Immortal Lotus!

Even without seeing it, Qin Fang could tell that this was definitely the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus... Just the fragrance alone instantly invigorated Qin Fang's spirits, as if he had consumed some Elixir for boosting energy, truly magical.

At the same time, as Qin Fang gradually approached, his target was also slowly revealed on the mini-map, which was none other than the Spirit Beast King.

"Damn it, this really is driving wolves to tigers..."

Seeing this adversary, Qin Fang couldn't help but complain inwardly.

The wolves were naturally already present, with the relentless pursuit by the Split Wind Wolf Pack behind him, including the formidable Golden Split Wind Wolf King...

As for the tiger, it's right in front of him.

This Spirit Beast King turned out to be an Abyssal Demon Tiger...

The Abyssal Demon Tiger, said to be an exotic beast from the Endless Abyss, is a descendant of ancient bloodlines, with immense strength. From birth, it becomes a Spiritual Beast, and once it grows, it becomes a powerful presence at the Spirit Beast King Peak.

If it manages to enter the peak phase, it can absolutely become a being that surpasses a typical Spirit Beast King...

The Abyssal Demon Tiger in front of him hadn't reached the ultimate peak yet, but it's only a step away!

"Abyssal Demon Tiger, Ink Jade Immortal Lotus... No wonder it's waiting here!"

At the same time, Qin Fang also understood why the Abyssal Demon Tiger, so powerful, ignored Jia Siping...

Even if other Spirit Beast King Peak level beings obtained the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus, they might not necessarily advance successfully. However, the Abyssal Demon Tiger has more than a fifty percent chance of advancing... because their properties are the most compatible, and naturally, the medicinal effect is the strongest.

The Ink Jade Immortal Lotus has evidently reached the critical point of its maturity, so the Abyssal Demon Tiger dare not leave easily...

"Roar~~~"

Perhaps sensing Qin Fang's arrival, the Abyssal Demon Tiger lying by the pool opened its eyes and let out a low growl, a wave of extremely terrifying and powerful pressure swept forth!

Qin Fang felt as if his face was being ravaged by a gale; it hurt deeply...

This Abyssal Demon Tiger is definitely more powerful than the Crocogator, and possibly only slightly weaker than the exotic beast that once hunted Qin Fang... Naturally weaker than transcendent beings like the Jiu You Spirit and Teng Jiao.

However, it's still far beyond what Qin Fang could contend with...

"Sorry! Even though I know you're strong, I have no choice but to fight desperately..."

The Abyssal Demon Tiger hadn't even truly made a move; its casual roar carried such terrifying pressure, which was completely unexpected for Qin Fang, but he wasn't deterred and immediately took out two glass test tubes from the Props Box.

These are small items Qin Fang exchanged for with Experience Points, categorized as alchemical products...

Their function isn't particularly noteworthy, quite a trivial thing, but they do have a very special ability... The scent released would double stimulate the ferocious beasts' aggressive temper, making them even more irritable and manic.

Without a moment's hesitation, Qin Fang immediately threw the two glass test tubes towards the Abyssal Demon Tiger...

Bang~~~

The test tubes shattered, spilling out a special liquid, instantly emitting an incredibly pungent odor. The diffusion was also quite terrifying, as Qin Fang, dozens of meters away, could vaguely smell it, with the scent growing ever more intense.

Roar~~

It's unclear whether the smell stimulated the Abyssal Demon Tiger, or Qin Fang's provocation did... only to hear the Abyssal Demon Tiger letting out a thunderous roar and then slowly standing its massive body up.

It started moving step by step towards Qin Fang... The overwhelming aura was so terrifying, Qin Fang almost had no strength to move at all.

"Howl Howl Howl~~~~"

At the same time, the Split Wind Wolf Pack that had already entered the valley seemed to feel the terrifying aura, letting out a series of howling... The weaker Split Wind Wolves couldn't withstand such pressure, seemingly having the intention to retreat, yet it angered the Golden Split Wind Wolf King.

Just as Qin Fang had concealed his figure, preparing to use the darkness as cover and make a getaway, the Split Wind Wolf King bypassed the wolf pack and rushed deep into the valley, confronting the powerful Abyssal Demon Tiger...

Most importantly, it also discovered the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus, with unusual gleams flickering in its emerald eyes...(To be continued.
