After thinking about how Qin Siyang had obtained valuable treasures over a hundred kilometers outside the safe zone, Hu Chan changed his mind and aggressively told Qin Siyang to stop the drill cabin more than a hundred kilometers outside the safe zone.
Hu Chan understood immediately and climbed out onto the surface.
Zhao Sifang asked curiously, "Brother Qin, what's Holy Son Hu going out to do?"
"Locate nearby gods so it'll save time when we hunt later."
"Huh? He can do that?"
"Of course. Why do you think I bring him along every time I go out? He's technical staff."
After a while, Hu Chan returned to the drill cabin.
"Boss Qin, there's a large group of gods three kilometers ahead at the twelve o'clock direction. It might be a small god nest. I want to check it out."
"What about medium gods?"
"There are two gods four kilometers away at the four o'clock direction, and one god five kilometers away at the eight o'clock direction. Those three are alone, and there are no signs of other gods nearby, so there's a high chance they're medium gods."
"Alright. I'll drop you off near the small gods first, then I'll go deal with those two medium gods."
Hu Chan froze for a moment, "Huh? Wouldn't the lone medium god be easier to kill? Why go after the pair?"
Qin Siyang put on his armor, "You can only judge the number and direction of gods. You can't tell how strong they are, so how do you know they're medium gods? Don't forget, we're over a hundred kilometers outside the safe zone now. Large gods can appear here too."
"The two close together at four o'clock definitely can't both be large gods, because there wouldn't be enough room for them. But the lone one at eight o'clock is hard to say. If it's a large god, we might all die there. Last time I almost lost my life causing trouble with you. I don't want to provoke large gods again."
Hu Chan curled his lips, "Last time you insisted on going. Why blame me?"
"That's pretty shameless of you to say. Wasn't that your decision?"
"Wasn't it because you tempted me into making that decision?"
"Wasn't it your location choice?"
"..."
Qin Siyang and Hu Chan pushed the blame back and forth over what happened with the Nightmare Lantern Tree last time.
But beside them, Chu Baxing, Gu Yunpeng, and Zhao Sifang were completely stunned.
Their attention stayed fixed on one part of the conversation, they did not want to provoke large gods again.
That meant the two of them had fought large gods before.
No one had ever killed a large god. Countless powerful sequence ability users had died trying.
Yet these two had survived after battling one?
Just how strong were they now?
Chu Baxing looked at Hu Chan, and a faint sense of danger appeared in his eyes.
Qin Siyang arrived at the location Hu Chan pointed out for the small gods and stopped the drill cabin, "Go on out. I'll come get you later."
"Don't leave me behind."
"If you're scared, then don't go out. Why so much nonsense?"
Hu Chan unwillingly left the drill cabin. Before closing the hatch, he added, "Don't forget to come pick me up after killing the medium gods!"
Qin Siyang drove the drill cabin again and headed toward the location of the two medium gods.
To make sure he was prepared, he drove the drill cabin onto the surface. A cloud of dust rose across the silent wilderness.
Since it was Zhao Sifang's first time this deep outside the safe zone, he could not help feeling nervous.
"Brother Qin, those two gods are definitely medium gods, right? There won't be any large gods?"
"They're two medium gods."
"Really?"
"Look up yourself."
Zhao Sifang stretched his head forward and looked ahead of the drill cabin.
Not far away, two figures of light flickered.
On the left, a giant python coiled across the wilderness. Its body looked like a mountain range, covered in dark purple scales that gave off a faint glow.
On the right, a giant bird floated above the wilderness. When its massive wings spread, they covered half the stars. Golden flames burned across its feathers, and every flap stirred scorching wind.
"A Split Shadow Giant Python and a Blazing Light Bird?", Gu Yunpeng spoke the names of the two medium gods, "The more dangerous the place, the richer the god resources really are. These two kinds of gods are extremely rare near the safe zone."
"Rare or not, neither of them is easy to kill," Zhao Sifang stroked his beard and looked thoughtful, "The Split Shadow Giant Python on the left has scales as hard as fourth-grade armor. It resists all kinds of attacks, can split into multiple illusions to confuse enemies, has tremendous strength, and can spit poison. The only way to deal with it is to restrain it and wear it down slowly."
"As for the Blazing Light Bird on the right, besides using fire attacks, it can teleport at light speed and is good at sudden attacks. Right now, the only known method is using mental-type skills to control it and slow it down so sequence ability users can attack it. I remember there was a record of three Sequence Level Five users joining forces, and all three died to a Blazing Light Bird."
Then Zhao Sifang cautiously looked at Qin Siyang, "Brother Qin, are you really going to risk fighting them?"
Before Qin Siyang answered, Chu Baxing spoke first, "If you fear death, how can you hunt gods?"
"Uh… alright."
Chu Baxing then asked, "Qin Siyang, I see you've been putting on your armor this whole time. You're planning to go down and fight those two gods yourself, right?"
Qin Siyang nodded.
"I should remind you of something. You're not the same as before. Back then, you were Sequence Level Five, so you could hunt gods without restrictions. Now you're Sequence Level Six and have already stepped onto the Path of the Believer. The gods will suppress you. Especially since your Path of the Believer is [Dawn Grade] or even higher, the suppression from medium gods will be even stronger."
"Even if it were only the Split Shadow Giant Python or the Blazing Light Bird alone, they would already be difficult for you to handle. And now the two of them are staying together peacefully."
Qin Siyang flipped open his visor and smiled at Chu Baxing, "Thanks for the reminder."
Then he stepped on the accelerator and drove the drill cabin underground.
"Wait here for a bit. I'll be back soon."
After speaking, Qin Siyang left the drill cabin and locked the hatch.
Then he jumped forward and leaped out through the tunnel to the surface.
Looking at the Split Shadow Giant Python and Blazing Light Bird in the distance, the information from the god analysis tool Chang Tianxiang gave him was mostly the same as what Zhao Sifang said.
What caught his attention the most was the skill description for the Split Shadow Giant Python.
[The Split Shadow Giant Python can split into nine shadow bodies with physical form, making it difficult to tell real from fake. The nine shadow bodies can use the original body's skills and possess the same physical strength as the Split Shadow Giant Python itself. After being killed, they disappear, but eliminating them remains extremely difficult. Currently, the duration of these shadow bodies is unknown. However, there was once a sequence ability user who fought the Split Shadow Giant Python for an entire day and night, and the shadow bodies still remained.]
[The only known method of eliminating the shadow bodies is killing the original body.]
"It can split into nine shadow bodies, and they even inherit the original body's physical strength?"
Qin Siyang looked at the Split Shadow Giant Python in the distance and licked his lips.
"Nice! Very nice!"
"I'm taking this skill!"
