The Fiend Trial was definitely very dangerous. From the moment these trial takers left the submarine, killing intent accompanied each and every one of them.
Those sea beasts were just appetizers. The real killing intent only began after the Trial Takers entered the Devil's Island …
There were all kinds of traps set up everywhere in this forest. The slightest carelessness could cause one to lose one's life here … In addition, the real threat came from these powerful Hunters!
"Hunters … I don't know if I'll meet them!"
Thinking of these Hunters, Qin Fang couldn't help but think of his father, Qin Tiannan, whom he hadn't seen for twenty years. He also wondered if he would have the chance to meet him.
"According to Tu San, he was already a peak Grandmaster a few years ago. I wonder what level his strength has reached now …"
Qin Fang learned about Qin Tiannan from the Blood Hand Devilman, Tu San.
Back then, when Tu San was saved by Qin Tiannan, his strength was already at peak Grandmaster. Now that these years had passed, it was unknown if he had already crossed that threshold and advanced to a higher level.
"Level-8 Grandmaster …"
Thinking of this, even Qin Fang couldn't help but tremble.
Although he was confident that there would be a day when he would step into this level, compared to the short amount of time he had spent cultivating, even if his speed of advancement was extremely fast, it was still so far away.
After all, he hadn't even stepped into the Grandmaster level yet. He still needed a lot of accumulation to achieve this step.
"If he really comes to kill me …"
Of course, Qin Fang didn't think this way to show off that he had a Grandmaster level father. Instead, he was afraid that the father and son would meet in such a way.
If a level-8 Grandmaster expert came to kill him, he could basically kill him in an instant. This could be compared to the scene when Chu Tianji killed Tang Mingyuan.
The father and son reunited after twenty years, but they killed each other before they could even recognize each other. This was simply more tragic than any human tragedy …
"Sigh, I hope this won't really happen …"
This was just a fleeting thought in Qin Fang's mind. The possibility of such a thing happening shouldn't be too high.
Judging from the survival rate of the trial takers, which was around 30%, there shouldn't be a lot of hunters, and their strength shouldn't exceed the trial takers by too much.
Perhaps a Grandmaster Hunter was the most suitable candidate. Once a Grandmaster Hunter reached Level 8 and came out to hunt the trial challengers, the remaining hundred or so challengers would all be killed in less than a month.
Based on the 30% survival rate, there would be around 150 to 160 participants in this trial. At most, there would be around 40 survivors.
After the first round of cleansing, there were only about 130 people left …
In this way, about eighty people had been killed in this month, which was equivalent to two-thirds of the remaining people.
On average, three people would be killed every day in a month …
"Three people … Tsk tsk, I'm afraid that a few of them would have died just now!"
Qin Fang couldn't help but complain.
The trial takers weren't fools. They had just set foot on the Devil's Island and hadn't fully adapted to this bloody and cruel Devil's Trial. It was understandable that the death rate would be higher.
Once the trial takers adapted, the death rate would rapidly decrease. It wasn't impossible that no one would die for many days.
"If I'm not wrong, the powerful hunters should only appear in the later part of this month …"
Qin Fang wasn't in a hurry to act. Instead, he carefully thought about it and made a simple analysis.
This trial wasn't very meaningful to him, so he didn't particularly value it. However, he had to find the whereabouts of his father, Qin Tiannan, in this month.
Originally, he planned to go to that mountain and use the advantage of his field of vision to inquire about the layout of the Devil's Island, so that it would be easier for him to find Qin Tiannan.
But now, it seemed that this plan wouldn't work.
Almost all the trial-takers thought so. Then, the hunters would definitely roam this path and kill people ….
Knowing that the enemy was guarding this path, Qin Fang still took the initiative to go to his death. This was definitely something that only a person whose head had been kicked by a donkey would do.
Of course, there were some exceptions to this rule.
For example …
"Since the experts among the hunters will only appear in the later part of the trial, if the hunters suffer large-scale casualties in the early part of the trial, perhaps this process will be brought forward!"
This was Qin Fang's current plan. It could be said to be a rather crazy plan.
However, although this plan was crazy, Qin Fang felt that it was very challenging … He even felt that this was the true core of the Devil's Trial.
"Perhaps, I can really break through to the Grandmaster level here …"
After thinking this through, Qin Fang was no longer in a hurry to find his father, Qin Tiannan. After all, this Devil's Island was a little too big, and Qin Fang wasn't familiar with the terrain here. Even if he deliberately looked for him, he might not be able to find him.
It would be better to use this opportunity to train himself and truly improve his strength, cross that layer of barrier, and officially enter the Grandmaster level.
Not only would he pass the most difficult hurdle, but he would also have more capital to find his father, Qin Tiannan …
On this island, the ordinary hunters had the strength of a Grandmaster. There were definitely more terrifying experts overseeing this place. What Qin Fang wanted to do was absolutely crazy. If he was just a little bit weaker, it was very likely that he would fail.
If he failed on this savage Devil's Island, then the result could be imagined … Not only would he not be able to survive, but even his father, Qin Fang, would not be able to survive!
…
In the depths of the Devil's Island, in a very ordinary wooden house, a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on a simple wooden bed suddenly opened his eyes.
A breathtaking light burst out from his eyes, and he looked at the towering mountain in the distance. The expression on his face didn't change, and he just muttered to himself, "He's here …"
After a while, the man took out a pocket watch from his arms and gently opened the cover. Perhaps because it was too old, there was no music coming out, and even the hands of the watch had stopped moving. However, the man still cherished this watch very much.
There was no other reason than that there was a photo in it … a photo of a young woman!
However, this pocket watch had been around for many years, and this woman who used to be young was obviously no longer young.
"Qing 'er, are you okay?"
Touching this photo, the man's eyes revealed deep tenderness, and he said with a serious expression, "He's here … I know, our child is here!"
If Qin Fang was here, he would definitely recognize who the young woman in this photo was. It was his mother, Qin Qing.
Then, the identity of this man … was obvious!
"No, I have to go … I can't let anything happen to him!"
The middle-aged man looked at the photo for a while and immediately got out of bed, his eyes showing incomparable determination.
Then, he walked out of the wooden house and quietly went into the dense forest in front of him, quickly disappearing without a trace.
However, he might not have noticed that just as he left, another person came out of another wooden house. He looked at the man's back with a malicious gaze, then sneered and immediately flew into the dense forest.
Judging from the background and speed of the two people's disappearance, these two men were definitely first-class masters, and both of them were very terrifying …
However, judging from the latter's expression, the relationship between the two men might not be very harmonious!
…
Qin Fang naturally didn't know that as soon as he set foot on the Devil's Island, his father seemed to have sensed his arrival and hurried to look for him.
However, even if he knew, it was useless. In such a dense forest, the possibility of the two of them meeting was really not high.
Even these hunters were only wandering in the forest, and they would only attack those unlucky Trial Takers when they encountered them … They didn't specifically target any Trial Takers.
Qin Fang made up his mind to carry out the trial well and break through his own shackles. While dodging the deadly traps in the primeval forest, he was looking for those trial takers or hunters.
Hunters were Qin Fang's target, so naturally, they were the main target of Qin Fang's search …
However, the strength of the hunters was too strong, so Qin Fang would immediately avoid them and leave.
He also had to choose the most suitable opponent. With Qin Fang's current strength, a mid-stage Grand Master was the most suitable opponent. A late-stage Grand Master could directly beat him to a pulp.
Although he had killed a peak Grand Master before, that was a sneak attack and a plot … It couldn't be considered a real kill or death.
Although Qin Fang had killed a quasi-Grandmaster before, that was only because the other party underestimated him, and Qin Fang launched a sneak attack. If Qin Fang fought head-on, the probability of him being killed was quite high.
This time, the hunters on the Devil's Island that Qin Fang faced could be said to be first-class masters. They were much stronger than the masters outside who hadn't experienced many battles.
To put it bluntly, basically, these hunters could even kill masters of the same level in a second …
None of those who could survive on the demonic island were weaklings. All of them had survived through blood and fire. Every single one of them was an expert in sneak attacks and counter-sneak attacks. On top of that, they were all quite ferocious and fearless...
From this point of view, it was already a very risky choice for Qin Fang to choose a hunter at the middle stage of the grandmaster level. The competition was quite fierce. If the hunter was at a higher level, Qin Fang would almost certainly die!
