After more than an hour, Chen Fan opened his eyes.
Under the influence of the Longevity Technique, the True Essence in his body had basically fully recovered.
Sensing his change, Elder Wang, who was beside him, also slowly opened his eyes, showing a hint of surprise.
In fact, he hadn’t consumed much Elixir Power. After all, in the previous battle with the Flying Centipedes, he wasn’t the one fighting head-on. All he did was attract the attention of one Flying Centipede, and within less than an hour, he was fully recovered.
But Chen Fan was different.
He fought two Flying Centipedes head-on. The consumption of True Qi can be imagined.
And yet, in less than two hours, he was fully recovered?
Chen Fan saw the doubt in his heart and smiled slightly, "Elder Wang, if you’re ready, let’s go in."
"Don’t you need to regulate your breath a bit longer?" Elder Wang was a little worried.
Shaking his head, Chen Fan looked towards the hidden entrance of the Secret Realm.
Perhaps due to the spatial isolation, he couldn’t sense the existence of the Flying Centipede he had controlled.
"Alright."
Seeing this, Elder Wang nodded, stood up from the ground, and looked at the entrance, "Once we go in, follow the previous plan. I’ll attract the attention of one of the Demon Beasts, and you deal with the other one."
"Alright, I’ll trouble you, Elder Wang."
Chen Fan smiled.
He couldn’t help but feel full of anticipation. If he could subdue the three Flying Centipedes, he could then boldly go to their territory and collect the Treasure Medicine.
"It’s nothing, just be cautious as always."
Elder Wang advised.
After all, it was the Secret Realm, where anything could happen.
The two of them entered the Secret Realm once more.
As soon as they entered, Chen Fan sensed the presence of the Flying Centipede he controlled.
The latter also sensed Chen Fan, and its previously relaxed mood immediately became tense.
Elder Wang scanned the surroundings, then looked at the spot where the injured Flying Centipede had been. It was empty.
"Looks like it has already followed the other two Demon Beasts and left."
"Elder Wang, be extra careful this time," Chen Fan said, "I’m afraid we’ll be facing more than just those two Flying Centipedes."
Elder Wang’s expression changed, "What do you mean?"
"I just communicated with the Flying Centipede I control and found out that there are five or six more Flying Centipedes in their territory, with strength equivalent to Early Stage Celestial Realm Martial Artists. They seem to anticipate our return and have set an ambush, waiting for us."
"Five or six more Flying Centipedes?"
Elder Wang felt fortunate.
Even for him, if he carelessly fell into their ambush, there was a significant chance of perishing.
"Yes, but no need to worry too much," Chen Fan said with a confident smile, "That creature has already told me the exact locations of its companions. Elder Wang, you just need to draw away the strongest two, and I’ll handle the rest."
"Okay, but be careful."
Elder Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
He had witnessed the defensive power of Chen Fan’s Undying Golden Body before.
It could withstand the full-force attack of a Mid Stage Celestial Realm Martial Artist, let alone a few Early-Stage equivalents.
However, one thing was somewhat amusing.
The Flying Centipedes probably never imagined they had a traitor among them.
Before long, the two of them hurried to the rear mountain.
Along the way, Chen Fan again felt that he was being watched.
He didn’t pay much attention, as those creatures would have shown up if they could.
Soon, they passed through the forest and arrived at the rear mountain.
A Flying Centipede was hidden underground.
The two exchanged a glance and nodded.
Immediately, a long sword appeared in Elder Wang’s hand, and he swung it at the air, sending a huge Sword Qi slashing toward the ground.
"Boom!"
Seeing this, the Flying Centipede hidden underground immediately broke through the soil and dodged the Sword Qi.
The other Flying Centipedes hidden nearby also revealed themselves one by one, confronting the two.
Two of them were the ones they had fought initially, each about fifteen meters long.
The remaining five were around twelve meters long, each with six pairs of wings.
The seven Flying Centipedes occasionally glanced at the two, mostly glaring at Chen Fan.
It was Chen Fan who had nearly killed their companion.
In the next moment, Elder Wang sent out another Sword Qi, targeting the initial one.
The latter was immediately enraged.
His original target was Chen Fan, but the constant provocations from the other person were intolerable!
With a roar, it flew towards Elder Wang.
"Chen Fan, be careful. If things go south, retreat first." After saying this, Elder Wang fled in the opposite direction.
The remaining six Flying Centipedes moved as well, all targeting Chen Fan.
The one in the lead was the headstrong one that first fought Chen Fan; as the saying goes, "Enemies are particularly keen to meet."
In the next moment, a giant blood-red hand descended from the sky, smashing the lead Centipede and the two smaller ones behind it into the ground.
The remaining three Centipedes seized this opportunity to charge at Chen Fan, revealing their huge mandibles.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
A series of metallic clanging sounds.
The three centipedes bit directly onto the golden Protective Shield.
Sparks flew, and their teeth were nearly shattered.
