Chapter 137 - 119: A Land Octopus? What Kind of Demon Beast Is This?
Chapter 137: Chapter 119: A Land Octopus? What Kind of Demon Beast Is This?
From the looks of it, the Attributes weren’t very good, though.
There were also some Potions, medicinal herbs, and the like.
As for materials, there was one piece of Rare Materials, but it wasn’t what Kajimi needed to Promote.
Fang Xiu put it away as well.
It might be useful later, or he could trade it with someone else.
As for the remaining low-value items that would fetch very few Points, Fang Xiu naturally didn’t want them.
He let Ye Fan take all of them.
However, Fang Xiu did take the Level 40 Demon Core.
Even though it didn’t come with a Skill.
It was, after all, a Demon Core from a Level 40 Elite Monster.
Its value was quite high.
The two of them set off once more.
By now, they had reached the so-called "middle" region of this Special Gate World.
While it wasn’t the true center, it was the place they were looking for.
Fang Xiu was finally starting to get a clearer picture.
In this Special Gate World, it seemed that everywhere besides the two poles was considered the ’middle region’.
The true center, equivalent to an equatorial region, was considered the ’inner’ area.
After all, this Gate World didn’t seem to be round, but flat and square.
A truly square earth beneath a round heaven.
"So, the special locations you mentioned—the ones with unique items—should be in this area, right?"
Fang Xiu asked Ye Fan, looking at the landscape before them.
"Yes. I’ve heard that special items frequently appear in this region, but I’m not too sure about the specifics."
Ye Fan nodded slightly.
As soon as he learned he had a chance to enter the Special Gate World, he’d read through all the information he could find.
The data he’d collected mentioned that special items would appear in special locations within the central region of this Special Gate World.
But there were no detailed descriptions of what those items might be.
However, Ye Fan hadn’t paid much mind to it before.
The information indicated that the locations where these items appeared were surrounded by Level 40 Demon Beasts.
Based on what he’d read, the Level 40 Demon Beasts in a Special Gate World were in a different league from those outside.
At that time, Ye Fan was well aware that his strength probably wasn’t enough to defeat a Level 40 Demon Beast from the Special Gate World.
That was why he had never planned on coming to these areas at all.
And naturally, he hadn’t bothered to learn the details.
He just never expected to meet such a powerful patron upon entering the Special Gate World.
He had a powerhouse like Fang Xiu to depend on.
That was the only reason Ye Fan had made it here.
"Alright, let’s go. Don’t stray more than ten meters from me. If we run into a Demon Beast that’s too strong, I might not be able to save you in time!"
Fang Xiu said to Ye Fan, who was beside him.
Ye Fan’s strength wasn’t anything special.
But he was very knowledgeable.
Fang Xiu valued this quality in him, which was the only reason he’d kept him around.
Otherwise, Fang Xiu certainly wouldn’t be dragging another man along, much less promising to protect him.
"Okay, I understand!"
Ye Fan nodded.
After all, he was the one who had shamelessly insisted on tagging along.
He knew Fang Xiu was incredibly strong.
’As long as I stick with Fang Xiu, there are definitely rewards to be had.’
And the facts had proven him right.
In the two days he’d been following Fang Xiu, he had earned more than he would have in a whole month of hunting Demon Beasts on his own!
And now that they had reached the middle region, Ye Fan was well aware of his own capabilities and knew he probably couldn’t be of much help anymore.
’I just hope I don’t drag him down!’
Just then, the sky began to darken.
"Let’s rest here for the night."
Fang Xiu said, glancing at the sky.
"Alright!"
Ye Fan had no objections.
He then took charge of finding dry branches and leaves to start a fire.
Once the fire was going, he started roasting some meat.
Fang Xiu simply sat to one side and focused on his Cultivation.
Although the Spiritual Power in this Special Gate World wasn’t as dense as in his Gate World back home, Fang Xiu was aware that at his current Level, it was easy for him to run out of Spiritual Power.
Fang Xiu’s Cultivation Technique was still the same Gold Level one he’d been using.
But his speed of absorbing Spiritual Power was still enough to make Ye Fan green with envy.
’What an advanced Cultivation Technique!’
A look of envy filled Ye Fan’s eyes.
His own Cultivation Technique was only Bronze Level.
It was something he had gritted his teeth and paid a hefty price for.
Ye Fan could have afforded a Silver Level Cultivation Technique, but he hadn’t bought one.
For one, he felt it was better to save up and go straight for a Gold Level technique rather than settling for Silver.
And for another... he still needed his Points to buy Equipment and Demon Cores with Skills.
He couldn’t just waste them so easily.
With a sigh of envy, he could only return to roasting the meat.
Soon, the rich aroma of roasting meat roused Fang Xiu from his Cultivation.
After walking all day and fighting quite a few Demon Beasts, he was starving.
"Is it ready?"
Fang Xiu opened his eyes, exiting his state of Cultivation.
"Yeah, it’s been ready for a bit. I saw you were in the middle of your Cultivation, so I didn’t want to disturb you."
Ye Fan nodded slightly.
He then handed a piece of roasted meat to Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu took a sniff. The aroma was incredible.
"Smells amazing!"
Fang Xiu couldn’t resist taking a bite. "This is delicious!"
This roasted meat was different from Kajimi’s.
Kajimi’s cooking focused on bringing out the meat’s natural flavors—meaning, no seasonings—but it was still delicious.
Ye Fan’s version, on the other hand, used seasonings he’d brought with him, making it taste just like a proper barbecue.
"If you like it, have some more."
Ye Fan smiled. "My family used to run a barbecue business, so I learned a little growing up. After my Awakening, I started bringing a few seasonings with me every time I enter a Gate World. It makes the Demon Beast meat taste much better!"
