After waiting a moment and confirming that the beast was dead, the crowd gradually gathered around.
They all expressed their admiration.
"Brother Xiao, your flames are incredibly powerful!"
"This thing has an absurdly strong vitality."
"I never expected that this secret realm would contain such a giant, incredibly resilient beast."
Another underground attack, which happens to be one of our team's weaknesses.
Thanks a lot, bro!
Zhang said with relief.
Xie Qingyun lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
"Alright, dig out the spirit crystal, collect some flesh and blood, and give this spirit crystal to Qin Xiao. No objections?"
Xie Qingyun said loudly.
Everyone shook their heads.
Now, the attitude of looking down on newbies and the subtle condescending atmosphere within the team have completely disappeared.
Qin Xiao proved his strength.
Everyone realized that if a real fight broke out, perhaps no one could be a match for Qin Xiao.
This fox is a beast tamer, highly agile, capable of healing, and can even set fires—and those flames are terrifying.
What's truly terrifying about foxfire is that it can also burn spiritual energy, not just cause simple high-temperature damage from flames.
However, the earthworm monster was too dim-witted, and no one noticed.
Qin Xiao jumped off Bai Ling's back and asked her to treat the Iron Horned Bull.
He then walked toward the enormous remains of the earthworm.
At this moment, Wang Yan and Huang Da were cutting up the corpse with long knives.
"Brother Wang, how do you know where this spirit crystal is?"
Wang Yan searched for flesh and blood, "Generally, it's inside the brain, but this thing doesn't have a brain, so we'll have to keep looking."
Huang Da then took a knife and collected a portion of the flesh and blood from each part of the body, putting it into a specially made glass bottle.
After working for half a day, they finally found the spirit crystal in the flesh and blood of the earthworm-like beast.
It was only with the help of testing equipment that the location of the spirit crystal was found.
A round, earth-yellow bead was handed to Qin Xiao.
The group had no objection to how the spirit crystal was distributed, and it was given directly to Qin Xiao without having to wait until they left to distribute it.
After this incident, it was just about time for Qin Xiao and his companion to keep watch.
Qin Xiao simply replaced Xie Qingyun and the other person.
Once everyone had crawled back into the tent, it fell silent again.
The night passed quickly, and Zhang Ze and another person took over the night watch. Nothing else happened.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Qin Xiao took another three hours of sleep.
I crawled out of the tent, ate something simple, and washed up.
The group immediately set off for the center of the secret realm.
Along the way, Qin Xiao was also learning from the team's wilderness experience.
What dangers are associated with different terrains, and what precautions need to be taken in different areas, etc.
There is still a gap between what is taught in textbooks and what is actually applied.
Life in the low-level Beastmaster's Secret Realm doesn't seem so wonderful.
He was thinking about whether he should go into the secret realm alone again after this mission.
After all, there are some of his abilities that are not easy to reveal.
Moreover, he faces no pressure whatsoever when venturing into secret realms of the same level.
It is easier to act alone.
The pace of travel was slightly faster today.
According to the plan, we must arrive at the central lake before sunset.
They had already basically figured out the strange beasts in this area last time.
What happened last night was an accident.
We didn't even stop to rest at noon; we ate our meals on the road.
Soon, around 3 p.m., the group arrived at the central lake.
Upon reaching this area, the number of strange beasts increased rapidly.
Various strange beasts drink and roost around the lake.
A few carnivorous beasts also lurk nearby.
The group hunted down some strange beasts and collected data on their flesh and blood to assess their quality.
Of course, some spirit crystals were also obtained.
"Captain, there's a situation here."
"I'm spreading out on guard," Huang Da said into his earpiece.
The crowd moved closer to him.
The muddy, messy beach by the lake.
A huge horse carcass lay in the mud.
However, the lower half of the horse carcass was a horse, and the upper half was a human.
He looks like a middle-aged man.
He had a thick beard, wore simple iron armor, and had bulging muscles all over his body.
The area where the lower abdomen meets the horse's body is covered with hair.
However, with only a piece of cloth wrapped around the horse's body, it's impossible to tell whether the reproductive organs are in the front or back.
"Huh? This centaur is the overlord of this secret realm, how did it die here?"
Zhang asked curiously.
"Be careful, there may be dangerous beasts nearby."
Xie Qingyun said in a deep voice.
"Captain, should we collect some data?"
The crowd was still some distance away, so they couldn't tell the centaur's wounds or the cause of death.
Xie Qingyun pondered for a moment.
"Be careful, go closer and take a look."
These centaurs are tough to kill; we can't miss this opportunity.
As the Black Eagle took off, Xie Qingyun's eyes glazed over slightly.
She awakened one of her Beastmaster talent skills at the Silver rank, which allows her to communicate with her Beastmaster.
This is why her second tamed beast was an eagle.
"No problem, there are no suspicious targets around."
Xie Qingyun withdrew her skill, but the Black Demon Eagle continued to circle overhead.
The group moved closer to the centaur corpse.
Only upon closer inspection did one realize that the centaur's body was covered in various scratches and bite marks.
The fatal wound was a laceration on the neck.
"Captain, the spirit crystal has been stolen, and it looks like it was done by a person!"
Zhang Ze first examined the centaur's head and heart.
The spirit crystal in its head disappeared, and it didn't look like it had been eaten by a strange beast.
"Someone's there?!"
Huang Ya screamed in surprise!
Xie Qingyun pondered for a moment.
"It's hard to say. It could be internal strife. These centaurs are organized and intelligent."
They might have even obtained some spirit crystals.
"Cheer up, this is a bit strange."
Everyone must have perked up by now, since someone's earlier speculation had given them a fright.
What does it mean to meet someone here?
Or perhaps there are humanoid beings in this dimensional realm.
Or someone entered this secret realm from elsewhere.
Dimensional realms generally have only one entrance and exit, but sometimes entrances and exits may be generated in other places.
If there were other people involved, things would get a bit complicated.
In the dimensional realm, when there are people, they are the most dangerous creatures.
The group continued hunting and killing the strange beasts along the lake.
Then, more than a dozen more centaur corpses were discovered.
Two of the centaurs were female, and the rest were male.
Only then did everyone finally realize that there really were people in this secret realm.
Someone is hunting down these centaur beasts!
These people should be numerous and quite capable.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to kill so many centaurs.
I just don't know why they killed these centaurs.
Is it simply to obtain spirit crystals?
For such a highly intelligent species, if possible, contracting with a mythical beast would obviously yield the highest returns.
Of course, it's also possible that the centaur would rather die than submit.
