...
He couldn't help but think that way...
In this passage, the humidity was relatively heavy, making it a little moist. There were some moss-like plants on the ground. Although there weren't many of them, it was easy to leave traces if one stepped on them.
The surrounding stone walls were in a similar situation, very wet and slippery... There were also similar plants growing on them, and they were obviously affected by the Renyuan Jindan. They could actually emit an extremely weak aura of the Jindan.
However, Qin Fang simply checked the ground and found that there were only some traces of the claws of wild beasts... They weren't very heavy, but they were relatively new.
Thinking of the mountain guardian beast, Qin Fang also thought that this was probably its nest!
Qin Fang couldn't be sure whether there were other animals or spirit beasts in the Blood Demon Cave...
The living environment here was quite terrible. The sinister existence of the Blood Demon would almost attack any creature that tried to get close to the blood pool. It would be difficult to survive if it wasn't a very powerful spirit beast.
However, if it was a powerful spirit beast, then it might become food for the mountain guardian beast. It would also be difficult for it to survive in the Blood Demon Cave...
It seemed unrealistic to say that there were no other animals in the Blood Demon Cave. The mountain guardian beast and the Supreme Elder of the Blood Demon Sect had lived here for many years. If there was no food, they might have died long ago.
But in fact, they were all alive and well!
However, to be able to survive in the Blood Demon Cave, one had to be a powerful spirit beast... The only spirit beast that could occupy this Renyuan Jindan was probably the Guardian Mountain Beast.
"The mountain guardian beast has left. This is my chance..."
Although this was only Qin Fang's own guess, it was basically certain. Qin Fang's face showed some joy. The timing of his appearance was really perfect.
This passage was very dark, very slippery, and very long...
Qin Fang walked very fast and very carefully. Even though he knew that the Guardian Beast had gone out, he still had to deal with it carefully. He was afraid that there would be some unnecessary accidents.
"The aura of Renyuan Jindan is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that we are getting closer and closer to our destination..."
The aura of the Gold Core was getting thicker and thicker. It also allowed Qin Fang to confirm that there was no mistake in the direction he was going. He was getting closer and closer to the destination he was looking for.
But Qin Fang also became more careful and vigilant. At such a time, he needed to be more careful.
"Eh?"
Soon, Qin Fang furrowed his brows.
"Did I guess wrong?"
Looking at the red dot that appeared on the minimap, Qin Fang muttered with some doubt, "Could this be a hidden, unknown passage that is not connected to the Blood Demon Cave?"
"It's really possible …"
This passage was accidentally discovered by Qin Fang when he was using the Earth Escape Technique. It could be said that it was extremely coincidental. Qin Fang could not confirm whether it was connected to the Blood Demon Cave or not.
However, this passage was quite humid. The water vapor was relatively heavy, but the blood aura was very weak. It seemed that this place was not affected by the blood pool too much!
As the mountain guardian beast of the Blood Demon Sect, it was naturally a blood-type spirit beast. The area it lived in was naturally a place with a stronger blood aura … The area in front of him seemed to be really unsuitable.
"Should I investigate it?"
Looking at the red dot on the minimap, Qin Fang was also a little hesitant.
If his guess was correct, then this red dot might be another powerful spirit beast … It lived in the range of the aura of Renyuan Jindan all year round, so it was impossible for it not to be powerful.
"I don't know if this guy's strength is comparable to the mountain guardian beast … If it really reaches that level, then we are in big trouble!"
Qin Fang also muttered helplessly.
"Who cares? It's a free trip anyway …"
However, Qin Fang was also a ruthless person. He immediately used the detection skill on the red dot … The Renyuan Jindan was right in front of him. It would be a pity if he still made a move when it was already at the door.
After using the detection skill, the result quickly came back.
"Uh …"
Looking at the feedback result, Qin Fang's expression stiffened a little, but he soon regained his composure and muttered with a strange expression, "This is really unexpected …"
"Blood Kirin (Cub), a mutant with the bloodline of the sacred beast Kirin!"
This was the result of the detection skill.
The mountain guardian beast of the Blood Demon Sect was a Blood Kirin. Qin Fang had heard of it before, but he had never taken it seriously …
One had to know that Kirins were true sacred beasts, and they were at the peak of sacred beasts. They were almost at the level of sacred beasts, and their grade was only a little lower than dragons and phoenixes.
Because the Kirin's status and grade were quite noble, and they didn't mate like dragons did, their descendants were naturally quite rare, let alone mixing with other sacred beasts to produce a mutant bloodline …
That was quite a disgrace. The more noble a sacred beast was, the less likely it was to do such a thing.
The Blood Kirin was naturally such a mutant, and Qin Fang naturally didn't believe it. He was more willing to believe that the mountain guardian beast of the Blood Demon Sect was a blood-type sacred beast that was similar to the Kirin.
However, when the detection result came back, Qin Fang believed it.
The mountain guardian beast of the Blood Demon Sect really was a Blood Kirin!
This was because there was a Blood Kirin cub in front of him that was still in its infancy … A cub that was quite weak, and the threat it posed to Qin Fang was almost instantly reduced.
"Heh heh heh …"
Qin Fang couldn't help but laugh evilly. "You want to steal my Blood Heart? Then I'll destroy your nest …"
If Qin Fang had guessed that this was another hidden cave that had nothing to do with the Blood Demon Sect, then that was no longer true. This place was definitely connected to the Blood Demon Cave, but it was probably deep inside the Blood Demon Cave. It was far away from the influence of the blood pool.
This cub was naturally the descendant of the Mountain Guardian Divine Beast …
But …
"If there is a Blood Kirin cub here, is there another adult Blood Kirin?"
Qin Fang suddenly thought of this possibility, and it scared Qin Fang so much that he began to break out in a cold sweat. If that was the case, then Qin Fang was like a lamb in a tiger's den.
"What am I afraid of? Let's do this!"
Wealth came from danger. Plus, Qin Fang might have a chance. Qin Fang gritted his teeth and forced himself forward.
"This is the end …"
He took a few more steps forward, and he was getting closer and closer to the Blood Kirin cub. But on Qin Fang's map, the path ahead had been sealed.
"There isn't a second Blood Kirin … That is good news!"
But in that direction, aside from a cave that wasn't too small, there was no sign of a second Blood Kirin. There was only one Blood Kirin cub.
For Qin Fang, this was really the best news that could not be better.
So, Qin Fang stopped hesitating. He jumped into the cave, which wasn't very big. That was the Blood Kirin's nest.
After entering the cave, Qin Fang wasn't in a rush to make a move. Instead, he looked around carefully.
The cave wasn't very big. It was only a huge cave with a diameter of about 30 meters … However, more than half of the cave's area was occupied by a pool. The actual land that could be used was less than half.
Or rather, less than a quarter of it.
"Hiss!"
At this moment, Qin Fang couldn't help taking a deep breath … Because besides the pool, he also saw the skeleton of a ferocious beast which was over 10 meters long and 5 meters high.
But that wasn't the most important thing.
What shocked Qin Fang the most was that the skeleton was completely golden.
Golden skeletons … Qin Fang had only seen them in one place. The skeletons of the deceased Martial Monarch in the mysterious underground palace were all golden skeletons!
If a spirit beast's skeleton was refined into a golden skeleton, then the only way to do that was …
"The skeleton of a supreme spirit beast!"
Qin Fang finally understood where the aura of the Gold Core had come from. It wasn't coming from a human Martial Emperor. It was coming from a supreme spirit beast's Gold Core.
It was coming from the head of the giant golden skeleton.
It couldn't be called a Human Essence Gold Core. It was more appropriate to call it a Beast Essence Gold Core.
"Whether it's a human or a beast, it's all the same."
However, for Qin Fang, there wasn't any substantial difference. They were all the same. "Hehehe, since I found it, I can only say sorry."
Such a huge golden skeleton would definitely be priceless!
The last time he saw a golden skeleton, it was the human Martial Emperor that had fallen. But he had already made arrangements for himself. After giving away the Renyuan Gold Core, he had sunk the sarcophagus that contained his corpse into the mysterious underground palace.
Qin Fang had wanted to get his hands on the golden skeleton. Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to do so.
However, such a huge golden skeleton in front of Qin Fang was simply a big piece of fat meat that was delivered to Qin Fang for free!
Its value might even be higher than that of the Golden Beast Essence Gold Core.
The Golden Beast Essence Gold Core could only be used by Qin Fang to visualize, study, or even refine medicine. It was relatively important, but it didn't mean much to Qin Fang. However, such a huge golden skeleton, if used well, could be worth three or four Renyuan Gold Cores.
