"By the way, Qin Fang, there's something we need to tell you first..."

Despite the excitement, Monk Wukong's expression turned slightly cold, and he spoke very seriously, "I was the first to arrive, so I took a walk inside the main hall and discovered a dark chamber. There might be something even more valuable hidden inside..."

"Then why didn't you go in?"

Qin Fang was stunned upon hearing Monk Wukong's words, then realized something was off and asked curiously.

"Do you think I didn't want to? But I almost couldn't get out... There's a living giant inside, so powerful that I couldn't muster any courage to fight. If I'm not mistaken, that giant's strength could be comparable to the Great Grandmaster Peak level of a human martial artist..."

Monk Wukong wore a bitter smile and said helplessly.

"What? Great Grandmaster Peak..."

Upon hearing this, not only was Qin Fang a bit stupefied, but Ji Xiang and Song Qingshan also turned slightly pale; such an existence is almost synonymous with invincibility.

"Maybe even stronger..."

Monk Wukong felt that Great Grandmaster Peak might not be enough, so he couldn't help but add.

"Gulp~~"

Qin Fang and the others couldn't help but swallow; such an existence is far beyond what they can handle. Even just taking a look seems beyond their qualifications at the moment.

"A dark chamber guarded by a Great Grandmaster Peak-level fierce beast could be the treasure repository of this sect... And if such a powerful beast is needed to guard it, then the treasures inside..."

Aside from the shock, Qin Fang couldn't help but start calculating in his mind.

Although they've already gained quite a bit, if they could open that treasure repository, they might obtain even more treasures.

"Sigh, it's a pity, a Great Grandmaster Peak-level fierce beast... I'd get myself killed trying to take it down!"

At the same time, Qin Fang felt quite helpless. Such a ferocious beast, even at the lowest strength, would be equivalent to someone like Qianyu Divine Sword Chu Tianji. Remembering how Qianyu Divine Sword Chu Tianji seriously injured Tang Huaiyuan with just one palm, Qin Fang already knew the terror of a Grandmaster-level expert.

And this beast might exceed the Grandmaster-level tier, making it an incredibly fierce existence. Maybe great sects like Shaolin and Kunlun could take down this monster by assembling all their forces, but Qin Fang and his group... it's like a mantis trying to stop a carriage, completely out of their league.

"Right, the Godslaying Worm..."

But soon, Qin Fang's eyes lit up as he immediately thought of a way to cope.

"I also suspect that big guy might have the bloodline of a Divine Beast... at the very least, it's a Spiritual Beast!"

Just as Qin Fang thought of the Godslaying Worm, Monk Wukong seemed intent on scaring them, and added another sentence.

Although this was just Monk Wukong's personal feeling and speculation, given his background, it's probably quite reliable.

"Divine Beast bloodline..."

Hearing these words, the idea that Qin Fang had just started forming suddenly vanished.

The Godslaying Worm is extremely fierce, nearly unstoppable, but it also has its weaknesses — it fears some even more ferocious existences.

And what Godslaying Worm fears are basically legendary Divine Beasts, with Little Dragon being one of them, because it's a Divine Dragon.

If the beast hidden inside truly has a Divine Beast bloodline, then it would be the natural enemy of the Godslaying Worm, and Qin Fang's adventurous thought just extinguished right away.

Qin Fang doesn't care about the Godslaying Worm's life or death at all — it's a one-time super weapon meant to be disposed of after use...

But if the Godslaying Worm is released and not only fails to kill the big guy but also angers it, then Qin Fang and his group would be the ones to suffer.

After all, to release the Godslaying Worm, someone must wake it up, and to prevent the Godslaying Worm from indiscriminately attacking, that person must be Qin Fang, as he's the only one who can do it...

However, Qin Fang obviously doesn't want to take this reckless action, which is almost equivalent to sending himself to death. That's just too unwise.

With a Great Grandmaster Peak-level beast in a frenzy, even with Qin Fang and the others combined, that beast could likely cause them serious harm with just a sneeze... let alone defeat that beast!

"Forget it; this is not something we can handle. We'll come back after we become stronger in the future..."

Qin Fang was wisely aware of his own limitations. This hidden place certainly conceals some secret, and perhaps the answer lies in the dark chamber guarded by the beast.

Unfortunately, Qin Fang and his group don't have the strength to open that dark chamber, so they have no choice but to reluctantly give it up...

"Sigh, that's the only thing we can do!"

Monk Wukong also sighed with some regret.

Even the things found scattered outside were quite valuable, so the hidden items inside the dark chamber must be rare treasures or extraordinary artifacts.

Unfortunately, they are still... too weak!

Currently, they might be considered a somewhat formidable force in the martial world, but compared to true experts, they're nothing.

Not only Monk Wukong, but Song Qingshan and Ji Xiang's expressions turned quite complex upon hearing this, as such a place truly excites one's imagination.

It's quite a pity; at least Monk Wukong got a glimpse, while they didn't even get to see it... Monk Wukong could rely on the Reed Crossing River Technique to escape, but the other two lacked this ability.

Even Song Qingshan, who consumed the Buddha's Hand Vajra and achieved a terrifying level of physical defense, found that against a beast with strength comparable to the Great Grandmaster Peak level or higher, his defensive power would be insufficient. One slap could potentially kill him...

"It's getting late; we should be heading out..."

Since they couldn't hope for anything in the dark chamber and given that it was already getting late, there was no reason to linger in this secret place. Who knows if another powerful creature might emerge? It's safer to leave... (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for recommendations or monthly votes on Qidian (qidian.com).
