Chapter 2029 - 1539: Quasi-Spirit Beast! (Part 3)

Another modified human is actually slightly weaker than this "fat sheep" that Qin Fang is pursuing, only at the Grandmaster-level Initial Stage.Such an opponent might seem easier for Qin Fang to kill... But in reality, this seemingly weaker modified human is actually the strongest, because he is a beastman!

Beastmen can use beast transformation skills, completely transforming into fierce beasts, with their power surging significantly, possibly advancing from the Grandmaster-level Initial Stage to the Master Level Late-Stage.

In such a narrow passage, Qin Fang's movement technique is difficult to execute, and his advantage becomes somewhat suppressed...

While beastmen are also suppressed, their ferocious attacks can deal tremendous damage to Qin Fang... Qin Fang can certainly kill them, but the cost might be substantial.

Moreover, this beastman doesn't carry any treasures, as the rare herb and the Luminous Pearl are all on the "Wolverine".

If Qin Fang decides to hunt down the beastman, it would indeed be a case of missing the forest for the trees...

Killing enemies is not Qin Fang's current aim; he only desires to collect more treasures and leave this labyrinth safely in three days!

Following this "fat sheep," Qin Fang also entered the passageway, stealthily moving deeper into the tunnel, tracing the steps of the "fat sheep."

However, while Qin Fang disappeared into the depths of this narrow tunnel, the beastman who chose another passage also leisurely emerged from there and entered the same tunnel as Qin Fang...

In other words, the three are now walking the same path.

Originally, the two modified humans were moving together, with Qin Fang following them... Now it has turned into two modified humans walking in sequence, and Qin Fang is sandwiched between them!

This situation is clearly quite unfavorable for Qin Fang... If these two modified humans execute a direct "sandwich attack," Qin Fang would be flanked, facing imminent danger!

Yet, Qin Fang at this moment is evidently unaware of the impending crisis, still fixated on the "cicada" ahead, like a mantis stalking.

The three maintain a certain distance, advancing slowly into the depths of the passageway, but Qin Fang's gaze remains focused on the "fat sheep" ahead, while the beastman behind, due to the distance, goes unnoticed...

"Oh... He stopped!"

After an uncertain period of time, the "fat sheep" ahead suddenly ceased its movement, catching Qin Fang's attention immediately.

Having followed these two modified humans for so long, Qin Fang is acutely aware of their style; mechanisms or traps are ignored entirely, only treasures or Luminous Pearls garner their notice.

Naturally, fierce beasts like strange fish would also cause them to remain vigilant...

The "fat sheep" stopping implies that something must have been discovered ahead.

"Treasures? Luminous Pearls? Or some fierce beast?"

Various possibilities swiftly cross Qin Fang's mind, prompting cautious advancement towards the front.

To maximize his combat prowess, Qin Fang intends to launch a sneak attack on the modified human, avoiding any attention.

"Damn..."

But as Qin Fang gradually approaches the front, he begins to understand why this modified human stopped, prompting him to curse involuntarily.

"Is this... a spiritual beast?"

Not only is the modified human stunned, but Qin Fang is also incredulous, swallowing nervously, muttering cautiously to himself.

Not far from the modified human, in the passageway, appears a snake-like creature, not overly large, but emanating an incredibly powerful aura.

Qin Fang even suspects that his Snow Fox Ferret, on the verge of advancing to the Spirit Beast Level, doesn't possess such an aura...

Of course, while formidable, it pales in comparison to the mysterious Divine Beast, Little Dragon.

"No, it's a quasi-spirit beast... about to advance!"

Qin Fang's scouting skill soon reveals the reconnaissance results, causing a slight chill and a hint of excitement in his heart.

If it were a true spiritual beast, then it would be akin to a Great Grandmaster-level expert, potentially even more formidable.

Facing such a spiritual beast, both Qin Fang and the modified human are helpless, avoiding provoking it is best; otherwise, death is certain...

However, this creature before them isn't a complete spiritual beast, only that it's crossed the initial threshold, yet hasn't fully advanced.

This is somewhat similar to Qin Fang's previous state... akin to advancing, but due to insufficient absorbed energy, it remains stuck there; only with later consolidation does true advancement occur!

"This is a treasure! Really an unparalleled treasure..."

Faced with the quasi-spirit beast, Qin Fang's eyes gleam green...

Among everything encountered on Devil's Island, this quasi-spirit beast stands as the first to truly make Qin Fang covetous.

Other things like Netherworld Blood Pool and Netherworld Ghost Lotus remain far from maturity, thus fail to catch Qin Fang's interest.

This quasi-spirit beast, however, truly captivates Qin Fang... It's a higher realm than Little Mink, mere days from becoming a powerful spiritual beast!

"Just need to harvest its inner core, Little Mink would surely advance into a true spiritual beast..." Qin Fang calls out in his mind! (To be continued.
