"Only a few are left..."

Upon hearing this, Pang Sihai couldn't help but shrink his neck and whisper softly.

Since Qin Fang said so, it is naturally very clear who Du Xingwu died at the hands of…

Thinking back to his own situation, he almost died in Qin Fang's hands too… Of course, it's the same for Jia Siping, but his situation is somewhat special now, having become Qin Fang's most loyal follower and servant.

The top ten experts sent by the Evil Sect and Demon Sect were almost all the most elite disciples under thirty years old… This was determined by the special environment of the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm; otherwise, a few stronger young experts might have come in.

But now, of these ten people, only five are still alive…

The ones living comfortably are Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun, Evil Sword Shi Qingfeng, and South Mountain Blood Demon Hu Wankong from the Blood Demon Sect… Both Poison Demon Pang Sihai and Devil Cloud Blood Sword Jia Siping can be considered among the "deceased list."

Qin Fang ignored Pang Sihai's petty thoughts and continued to clean up the aftermath, collecting spirit beast inner cores one by one into his pocket…

The aura of the Abyssal Demon Tiger and Sky-reaching Ape still lingered here, those spirit beasts didn't dare to come over easily just yet, providing them with a certain amount of freedom to move. However, once these spirit beasts react, they will flock here in large numbers.

Nether Beasts can rely on consuming the corpses and inner cores of spirit beasts to enhance their strength or even advance to a higher level of Spirit Beast King, so these spirit beasts can certainly do the same…

Don't be fooled by the sight of thousands of spirit beasts dead here; the previous beast tide was enormous, possibly numbering in the tens of thousands… Considering those exotic beasts that haven't reached spirit beast level, the number of spirit beasts is still quite astonishing.

Qin Fang can't measure the exact number, but he can be certain it far exceeds the number of spirit beast trees that died in front of them.

Therefore, Qin Fang and others staying here for an extended period is not at all safe!

Of course, Qin Fang isn't particularly sure how long this situation will last; he is busy now!

This period of peace lasted for nearly half a day, with the sky transitioning from day to night… Yet, even as night fell, they didn't stop, for their remaining time was running out.

Psh~~~

Killing a Netherworld Wolf attempting to sneak attack them, Qin Fang's expression turned somewhat grim.

As night fell, the area gradually became less peaceful…

Some nocturnal exotic beasts appeared and slowly approached this region, even competing with Qin Fang and others for spirit beast corpses and inner cores… Once encountered, Qin Fang and his party would mercilessly kill them.

However, as more and more exotic beasts entered this area, they had to contract their range, abandoning some regions… And this range circle continued to shrink.

Even with Qin Fang, Pang Sihai, Jia Siping, plus eighteen Nether Beasts working together, they couldn't withstand the encirclement of the exotic beast numbers surrounding them, reaching over a hundred…

"It's about time, we should retreat…"

This half-day of free time allowed Qin Fang and his team to sweep through nearly half of this area, with Qin Fang's Props Box receiving over six hundred spirit beast inner cores… As for the eighteen Nether Beasts, they were already stuffed, not wanting to eat anymore.

"Let's go…"

Gazing at the looming spirit beasts in the night, Pang Sihai felt somewhat apprehensive, as among them were some extremely formidable spirit beasts closely approaching the Spirit Beast King level… Qin Fang could fearlessly face these formidable spirit beasts, but Pang Sihai clearly did not possess such skill.

Upon hearing Qin Fang say to leave, he immediately responded…

Using the remaining clothes of the two Evil Sect disciples, he crudely fashioned a bag, collecting some deadly inner cores that could be used to make poisons… Though the spirit beasts were dead, these inner cores still emitted faint spiritual energy, attracting the attention of those spirit beasts.

If it weren't known that Qin Fang and his team were hard to mess with, they might have attacked long ago…

But if this situation continues, no one can guarantee they wouldn't be tempted… The previous battle resulted in the death of many spirit beasts, yet the number of "scavenging" spirit beasts here keeps increasing. Among the things one fears is inequity, and once these spirit beasts cannot get their share, they will certainly launch an attack.

Pang Sihai worked hard to gain these benefits and didn't want it all to end up being a futile endeavor with nothing to show!

Thus, Qin Fang and his team quickly departed, avoiding this region!

Ravaged by the Abyssal Demon Tiger and Sky-reaching Ape, it is estimated that the surroundings would be quite safe, even at night, it's safer than before…

However, necessary considerations led Qin Fang and his team to find a hidden cave to rest overnight.

The next day, Qin Fang and the other two continued their journey, full of spirit…

"Today is more or less the last day…"

Counting the days, this was already their fifth day in the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm. Although they had claimed earlier that they could extend their stay to a maximum of six days, the last day was definitely to be spent waiting for transference back in the Cultivation Secret Chamber…

If they missed the transference, they might have to be trapped here for a whole five years…

In such an environment, for these Great Grandmaster-level experts, five years is out of the question. Without the Passage Jade Token as backup, it would be tough to survive even five days here… Even for Qin Fang himself, it might be remarkable if he could endure for ten days.

If they didn't want to be trapped here, it would be safer to stay in the Cultivation Secret Chamber on the sixth day, so today might as well be the last day to move freely.

"I wonder how those few people are doing?"

For four days, they had been constantly hovering on the brink of death, almost losing their lives several times, such days were just too thrilling… Pang Sihai and the others were moving slowly with two or three people working together, and he couldn't help but think of the others.

"Maybe they're dead, maybe they went back to hide like cowards, or maybe they're still here…"

There seemed to be only three possibilities, Qin Fang grumbled slightly, making Pang Sihai roll his eyes directly.

"Hmm…"

As Qin Fang and his party were on their way, Pang Sihai suddenly called out in surprise, halting his steps…

"What's wrong?"

Qin Fang was stunned for a moment and immediately asked, while also moving next to Pang Sihai.

"This is…"

Qin Fang looked over, puzzled, then immediately wore a rather strange expression. After pondering for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightened, "Hahaha… This really is searching high and low only to find it effortlessly, Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun… I can't believe I've run into you!"

"You recognized him?"

Pang Sihai was a bit surprised too.

"Don't think you're the only one who can recognize him. I'd recognize this guy even if he turned to dust…"

Qin Fang rolled his eyes, disdainfully mocking Pang Sihai, "Don't forget, I've crossed paths with him too. I can smell the stench on Fu Hongyun from miles away…"

Indeed, Qin Fang and Pang Sihai discovered the traces left by Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun…

More precisely, it was a blood-colored short arrow left by Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun, with the aura of the Netherworld Bone-Rotting Soul Severing Soup on it, which neither Qin Fang nor Pang Sihai could mistake… One was an alchemist skilled in medicinal expertise, the other was a master of poison making and usage, so naturally, they wouldn't mistake it.

With a reach of his arm, Qin Fang caught the blood-colored short arrow.

"Careful…"

Poison Demon Pang Sihai couldn't help but exclaim… The arrow was coated with the Netherworld Bone-Rotting Soul Severing Soup, one of the world's few deadly poisons; it was extraordinary, and he feared Qin Fang would be caught unawares!

However, after speaking, he was momentarily taken aback, with his face also showing some awkwardness!

He remembered that Qin Fang not only had great strength, but also formidable trump cards, and his body was nearly immune to all poisons… Back then, the reason he fell into Qin Fang's hands, without even a chance to escape, was because he misjudged this very aspect of Qin Fang.

The blood-colored short arrow coated with Netherworld Bone-Rotting Soul Severing Soup was Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun's weapon, but Fu Hongyun had already suffered once at Qin Fang's hands, proving that this deadly poison was ineffective against Qin Fang; so why should they worry?

Only Pang Sihai probably didn't think that Fu Hongyun's downfall was not because of Qin Fang's overpowering strength, but due to Qin Fang's scheming, and a slap from the Supreme Realm powerhouse, Blue-wing Bat King Wei Chunqiu…

Truth be told, Qin Fang at that time wasn't much stronger than Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun…

Yet, this delightful misunderstanding seemed to do no harm, and Qin Fang was not inclined to explain it to Pang Sihai… After all, he had now indeed far surpassed Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun, by a considerable margin!

"What a small world indeed…"

Recalling how he was hunted down and toyed with by Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun while still injured, a cold murderous intent flashed in Qin Fang's eyes as he spoke with a grimly sinister tone.

If they hadn't met, he could only wait for another chance to take him down later…

But since fate had brought them together now, Qin Fang was somewhat impatient.

"Let's go after him…"

Qin Fang waved his hand broadly and swiftly chased in the direction Fu Hongyun had gone.

Judging by the aura from the blood-colored short arrow left behind, it wasn't long since Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun had passed through here… And given how chaotic the place looked, with Fu Hongyun leaving the arrow behind, he probably wasn't in a good situation either.

Such an opportunity to strike at a drowning dog wouldn't be missed by Qin Fang… (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
