Chapter 136: Chapter 119: Land Octopus? What is this Demon Beast?
Until now, Fang Xiu had never had a clear understanding of his own Power.
But now, he was starting to get the picture.
His physical Power should now be on par with a Level 50 Power Awakener.
And with this single gauntlet increasing his Power by 50%, he reached the Level 60 mark.
However, improving further would be difficult for Fang Xiu.
Unless the Flower God could give him more Flower Dew, or perhaps even something stronger.
Otherwise, this was likely the limit of Fang Xiu’s physical Power.
Fang Xiu was still somewhat unsatisfied.
Of course, if Ye Fan, who was standing beside him, knew what he was thinking, he would probably want to smash his own head against a rock and die right alongside the Heaven-Shattering Red Sand Rabbit.
He had cultivated for the better part of his life just to reach his current Level.
He didn’t even dare to make a move against an Elite Monster like the Heaven-Shattering Red Sand Rabbit.
Fortunately, the glow faded from the Heaven-Shattering Red Sand Rabbit’s corpse, leaving behind a pile of loot.
"That’s a lot of loot!"
Fang Xiu said, looking at the items before him.
’It’s comparable to the loot from the Level 40 boss I killed earlier.’
"What’s this?"
Fang Xiu took a look. Among the drops, there wasn’t just Equipment and materials.
There was also a key.
That’s right, a key!
"A key? I’m not sure!"
Ye Fan said, shaking his head as he looked at the key in Fang Xiu’s hand.
He had no idea what it was used for.
[Key: ???]
Even after Fang Xiu picked it up, no information was displayed.
"Inside this Special Gate World, items can drop that don’t exist outside. Even if someone had found a key like this before, it wouldn’t be recorded anywhere!" Ye Fan added, as if he knew Fang Xiu was trying to inspect it.
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
’System, check if this key can be Sacrificed.’
Fang Xiu didn’t bother using his inspection skill again.
Instead, he left it to his system.
[Ding! Demon Beast Tombstone Key detected. If Sacrificed to the Gods, you will incur a penalty. The severity of the penalty will be determined by the mood of the Gods!]
As expected, the system was more reliable.
The moment Fang Xiu had the system check it, he finally found out what the key in his hand was.
’Demon Beast Tombstone?’
Fang Xiu was a little confused.
He’d never heard of a Demon Beast Tombstone before.
"Did you say... a Demon Beast Tombstone?"
Although Fang Xiu was just muttering to himself, Ye Fan, who was standing nearby, had heard him.
"You know about it?" Fang Xiu asked, turning to Ye Fan.
"I’ve heard of it. People say that a Demon Beast Tombstone occasionally appears in this Special Gate World."
Ye Fan explained, "Rumor has it that someone once obtained a piece of High Level Equipment inside a Demon Beast Tombstone. As for what Level it was, that was never revealed!"
"Occasionally appears?"
Fang Xiu wasn’t particularly interested in High Level Equipment.
After all, he already possessed a Divine Artifact.
An ordinary piece of High Level Equipment wasn’t enough to pique his curiosity.
But that phrase, "occasionally appears," did catch his interest.
"Yes. They say the Demon Beast Tombstone doesn’t have a fixed location. It can appear suddenly. Some people search for years without finding it, while others stumble upon it right after entering the Special Gate World!"
’Ye Fan really knows his stuff.’
Fang Xiu nodded. "So that’s how it is."
"This key... is it related to the Demon Beast Tombstone?" Ye Fan asked, his own curiosity now piqued.
Fang Xiu nodded and didn’t bother hiding it. "This key opens the Demon Beast Tombstone," he said directly. "But as for how to use it, I have no idea."
"So you need a key to open the Demon Beast Tombstone!"
Ye Fan murmured, nodding to himself.
Just then, Fang Xiu said to him, "Do you want it? You can be the one to go in."
Although Fang Xiu was a little interested in the Demon Beast Tombstone, his interest wasn’t overwhelming.
If all it offered was High Level Equipment, then Fang Xiu wouldn’t be interested in the slightest.
"It’s not just High Level Equipment that has been found in the Demon Beast Tombstone. There are other things too, like Demon Cores that grant Skills, or Potions that can increase your Cultivation!" Ye Fan reminded him, seeing that Fang Xiu wasn’t very interested.
He really wanted to go in himself, but Fang Xiu was the one who had killed the Level 40 Elite Monster.
He hadn’t lifted a finger to help.
Even if Fang Xiu offered him the key, Ye Fan wouldn’t dare to take it.
"Is that so?"
Fang Xiu hadn’t expected there to be Demon Cores with Skills or Potions that increase Cultivation.
’If that’s the case...’
"Then I’ll hang onto it for now," Fang Xiu said after a moment’s thought. "We’ll just have to find another Level 40 Elite Monster and get one to drop for you!"
If those other items were available, he was definitely interested.
"Find another Elite Monster?"
Ye Fan’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Fang Xiu’s words.
Other people would do anything to avoid a Level 40 Elite Monster.
And yet, Fang Xiu wanted to actively go searching for one?
"Don’t you want to check out the Demon Beast Tombstone?" Fang Xiu retorted, seeing Ye Fan’s reaction.
"I... I do!"
Ye Fan answered honestly.
It was true; he desperately wanted to enter the Demon Beast Tombstone.
But hunting down a Level 40 Elite Monster... wasn’t that too difficult?
"Let’s go. We’ll look for an opportunity first. If we can’t find one, I’ll just go in by myself," Fang Xiu said with a smile.
He didn’t know where the Demon Beast Tombstone was located, either.
For all he knew, they might run into it any second.
If that happened, he’d have to part ways with Ye Fan.
"Yes!"
By now, Ye Fan had finished carving up the Level 40 Elite Monster.
He had stuffed all the valuable parts into his backpack.
As for Fang Xiu, he only picked up the one piece of Level 40 Equipment that had dropped: a bow.
