Witch Worm Battle Pet!

"The location where I just encountered the Aberrant Witch Worm is about 30 kilometers deep inside the Fate Witch Grand Church, and it's basically parallel to the location of the Aberrant Witch Worm I encountered before."

"In other words, it's highly likely that after penetrating 30 kilometers, we'll reach the territory where the Aberrant Witch Worm are active..."

At the ruins of the Lost Land Fate Witch Grand Church, Cao Fengqi sat in a wheelchair, making guesses based on the information he had.

So...

He looked further to the right.

Since 30 kilometers is a warning line, he will not cross it and will continue to search for the Mirage Rat on the right.

Having made up his mind, Cao Fengqi summoned his Xiaotian Dog to take a look.

"Woo-hoo!"

When the Xiaotian Dog saw him, it growled and came over, nuzzling him. Its right front leg was limping, and its originally black leg was now somewhat greenish.

"Was that attack also poisonous?"

"Forget it, you silly dog, you should just go back to recovering."

Cao Fengqi looked at it and said with a smile.

Whether or not the Xiaotian Dog is present or not makes no difference in hunting Mirage Rat.

"Oh, right, that Aberrant Witch Worm..."

Then, he remembered the first Aberrant Witch Worm that had attacked him while he was under Mirage Sleep, and with a flick of his hand, he took it out.

The Aberrant Witch Worm, about the size of a red earthworm, was taken by Cao Fengqi using the Evil Herding Art, after which the leader of the Mirage Rat awakened it.

"Buzz!"

The Aberrant Witch Worm, upon awakening, exuded an overwhelming evil aura. Its head turned blood red and sharp, and it burrowed towards the palm of his hand.

Cao Fengqi's mind stirred, and he enveloped it with Transcendent Herding Fire.

"A spiritual cry pierces the void, a binding seal solidifies into form;"

"The Abyss Soul summons the beast, the secret seal seals the evil."

"Beast Contract, Condensed."

This Aberrant Witch Worm was not very strong, Cao Fengqi easily subdued it.

The contracted witch insect raised its body and stared at him blankly.

Cao Fengqi looked at the little guy, and his heart stirred.

[Battle Pet: Aberrant Witch Worm, Black-Gold Bloodthirsty Gu]

[Constitution: 378]

[Mental Strength: 89]

[Talent: Blood Devouring]

[Skill 1, Armor Piercing: A mutated witch insect caused by the entry of evil energy into its body, possessing the characteristics of an evil beast, can sharpen its head and has powerful Armor Piercing capabilities.]

[Skill 2, Bloodthirst: After burrowing into a human body, it can quickly drain the blood of an adult. Through the Blood Devouring talent, it strengthens its own physique and soul, and usually burrows into the target's heart.]

[Skill 3, Spirit Concealment: Upon activation, the user enters a state of spiritual stillness, making them difficult for targets to locate. Duration: 10 minutes. Recharge time: 20 minutes.]

"Black-Gold Bloodthirsty Gu? This little thing has a constitution of 378 and three skills, two of which have no cooldown."

"Moreover, these three skills are clearly designed for sneaky ambushes; no wonder they're called witch insects, they're incredibly insidious."

Cao Fengqi looked at the attributes of the Black-Gold Bloodthirsty Gu, his eyes flickering slightly. "I just don't know how easy it is to cultivate this witch insect. If its growth rate is fast, then I can really keep it under contract indefinitely."

At least, his exploration by inhabiting this little guy's body will be very discreet.

"Not bad."

"Continue the operation."

Cao Fengqi's face showed satisfaction.

He currently has 11 Mirage Rat, and he can upgrade one of his Mirage Rat battle pets to the level of Mirage Rat leader.

Alternatively, one could choose to allow the Mirage Rat leader to continue leveling up.

But that wasn't enough; it wasn't enough for him to deal with the swarms of Mutated Witch Worm.

"I don't need much, just enough to hunt down a few dozen Mirage Rat today."

He thought with a hint of greed.

[Scanned within a 3km radius; 33 new Level 5 supplies, 21 Level 6 supplies, 13 Level 7 supplies, and 5 Level 8 supplies added.]

"Um?"

When Cao Fengqi had moved about 2,000 meters to the right, the external scanning information suddenly came through.

His gaze sharpened, fixed on a direction 3 kilometers to his right.

"They are other extraordinary individuals."

Seeing that these supplies were all gathered together and moving, Cao Fengqi immediately understood.

"It seems there are other superhumans exploring this area. According to the supplies, there are six superhumans, and they possess five level-eight items. At least two of them are at the Third Sequence."

"I'd better not get into a conflict with them."

He thought to himself, preparing to go around from behind.

Those who are able to explore within the Fate Witch Grand Church are all top-tier Transcendent Sequence.

Behind each of them is likely a powerful force, and none of them are to be trifled with.

[Scanned within a 3km radius; 19 new Level 5 supplies, 14 Level 6 supplies, 7 Level 7 supplies, and 1 Level 8 supply added.]

"These people are not far from those six extraordinary individuals; they must be working together."

After walking less than 500 meters, another message came in. Cao Fengqi glanced at it and made his own judgment.

He continued walking to the right.

[Scanned within a 3km radius; 45 new Level 5 supplies, 30 Level 6 supplies, 20 Level 7 supplies, and 8 Level 8 supplies added.]

"..."

"This is bad. There are still people here, and even more powerful ones."

Cao Fengqi walked another three kilometers, and the external device scanned the information again.

He frowned as he looked at the message.

"I'm heading closer and closer to the center. According to the layout of the Fate Witch Grand Church, those of the same rank who reside in the center have a higher status."

"This also means that, given the distance to the center, there are likely to be more resources there, making powerful forces even more eager to explore the central area."

That would be bad news.

However, Cao Fengqi continued walking, somewhat unwilling to give up.

"The area three kilometers ahead belongs to Dragon Head Mountain. Anyone who trespasses will be considered an enemy."

After walking for about three kilometers, a voice suddenly came from ahead.

Cao Fengqi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Good grief, they actually put a loudspeaker in front of them and played a warning on a loop.

"It seems that the Fate Witch Grand Church has gathered quite a few forces, each occupying a space."

"In the early days, there were probably many battles between superhumans here due to territorial disputes, just like the territorial dispute between Sister Youya and Dragon Head Mountain."

Cao Fengqi gazed at the territory occupied by Dragon Head Mountain ahead, his eyes flickering slightly as he revealed a thoughtful expression.

If it were the territory of other forces, he naturally wouldn't have any intention of provoking them, but Dragon Head Mountain...

They are the enemy!

"I'll go check it out. Although I'm no match for these guys, I'll go find out what they're made of and prepare for my future revenge."

"Moreover, as long as I maintain a distance of 3 kilometers from them, even if they spot me, I can escape quickly."

"After scanning them, it simply slipped away."

Cao Fengqi made up his mind.

Dragon Head Mountain has a grudge against him, and he wants to investigate their trump cards just like he would when dealing with evil spirits and beasts. Once he is strong enough, he will kill them.

[Scanned within a 3km radius; 43 new Level 5 supplies, 26 Level 6 supplies, 21 Level 7 supplies, and 8 Level 8 supplies added.]

"We've spotted them; they've penetrated 32 kilometers into the area..."

"Ten people... Among them should be the guys who chased me back then. Two of them had level 8 supplies when they were chasing me, and now four of them have eight pieces of level 8 supplies..."

As he approached, the extraordinary beings from Dragon Head Mountain appeared within a three-kilometer radius of him.

"Two more extraordinary individuals have joined the Third Sequence? If I want to kill them, I'll need to train at least six or seven level 7 battle pets."

Cao Fengqi looked at it and made an estimate.

"Wait a minute, there's a level 8 resource in a separate location; it doesn't belong to them."

"And why are they jumping around like that? Are they fighting?"

However, just as he was preparing to leave, he looked at the information displayed by the cheat program and his gaze suddenly sharpened.
