"what!"

Qin Wu's expression froze, and he hurriedly turned around to look.

"hiss--"

I gasped sharply.

Seeing that this once mighty expert of the Gang Jin realm had now become a dried-up corpse!

This was a master of the Gang Jin realm! A near-Grandmaster, yet this Qiongqi devoured him and turned him into a dried corpse?

Qin Wu felt a bit dizzy and the world spun around him. He staggered several steps before regaining his balance.

He shook his head, suppressing the horrifying shock in his heart, and stared intently at the dimensional beings on the ground who had been sucked into a shapeless state.

"How disgusting..."

Qin Wu took a closer look and couldn't help but frown.

The mummified corpse's appearance was such that its entire body was wrinkled into two layers of skin, like a crumpled newspaper that had been unfolded. Two huge eyeballs were exposed, and the whites of the eyes were clearly visible.

With her mouth slightly open, the skin on her lips had shrunk to an extreme, revealing two rows of slightly yellowed teeth, and she tilted her head to look at Qin Wu.

Qin Wu felt a chill run down his spine from the horrifying sight. Goosebumps rose on his skin, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He shivered from head to toe, pursed his lips, and looked again.

On the mummified corpse, the two layers of skin on the chest and back were tightly stuck together, exposing all the bones. Qin Wu frowned and suddenly thought of a picture of anorexia that he had seen by chance in his previous life. He felt a chill inexplicably. The current appearance of the mummified corpse was much worse than that of anorexia. Qin Wu rolled his eyes and began to dry heave on the spot.

After a long while, Qin Wu, his face flushed and his eyes still filled with terror, moved to Qiongqi's side. Along the way, there were more than a dozen corpses lying haphazardly. Apart from those who had been struck by lightning earlier, the rest were all mummies, which immediately added a sinister atmosphere to the canyon.

"I had heard before that a person's essence, energy, and blood make up the majority of their life force and are the substance that sustains them. It seems that all of their essence, energy, and blood have been completely drained."

As Qin Wu walked, he exclaimed, "This Qiongqi's appetite... is really huge."

Looking at the Qiongqi again, Qin Wu felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.

The Qiongqi seemed to have eaten its fill, and it actually started to doze off on the spot. How could Qin Wu not be excited? He ran over to the corpses and reached out to feel around on them.

"Haha, found it."

Qin Wu's eyes lit up, and he pulled his right hand out from inside their clothes. It was clear that Qin Wu's (得王好) hand now had an insignia exactly the same as before.

They continued in the same manner, rummaging through the dozen or so corpses for a long time, and finally gathered all the insignia on the ground.

Qin Wu sat cross-legged, his excitement beyond words, his mouth almost stretched to his ears. He then put the insignia he had already packed away together and roughly counted them.

"Hmm, I killed a total of twenty-one people and got twenty-one tokens. Four were at the Gang Jin level, ten at the Hua Jin level, and the remaining seven were at the Nei Jin level...tsk tsk."

Qin Wu sighed, "Among those with internal energy, who else can achieve such a feat besides myself?"

After calmly packing up the brands, Qin Wu smiled with satisfaction. With such a record, who would dare to disagree with me?

Anyway, no matter who killed him, the badge is in my hands. If I say I killed him, then I did...

Chapter 191: Getting Active

Meanwhile, in Dawn City, in the council hall.

Chen Baima and the others waited in the city for four or five days without hearing any news about Qin Wu, and their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.

"Could he really be dead?"

After muttering to himself, Chen Baima's expression darkened, and he shook his head with a bitter smile: "Being chased by even one Transcendent Realm cultivator is a matter of life and death, let alone being chased by more than a dozen Transcendent Realm cultivators. I'm sure Qin Wu is doomed this time..."

Upon hearing this, General Zhao frowned deeply. In the end, it was still his responsibility. He hadn't taken good care of all the new recruits, which led to Qin Wu getting lost.

Looking at Chen Baima with a complicated expression, General Zhao's heart tightened, his brows furrowed, and he stepped forward, saying in a deep voice, "Old Chen, I..."

When the words were about to come out, General Zhao choked up and couldn't speak. Qin Wu's importance goes without saying. He was a genius martial artist who would definitely become a grandmaster within ten years. How could he calm down when he watched Qin Wu being entangled by the tiger dragon while he himself couldn't do anything?

Hearing Zhao Jiang, the commander of the 163rd Army, silently choking behind him, Chen Baima turned around and shook his head, saying, "It's not your fault. Everyone has their own destiny, and life and death are in the hands of fate. Qin Wu getting lost is just his bad luck. There's no need to blame yourself too much. We still need to discuss the current situation."

Hearing Chen Baima's words of comfort, General Zhao stopped talking and nodded with gratitude in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Recently, the plane people have started to become active. I don't know what they are doing. Many scouts have come back saying that the plane people are constantly training their troops. I suppose there is going to be a big battle."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Chen Baima's eyes, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

He snorted coldly: "I'd like to see what kind of trouble these people from other dimensions are up to."

After speaking, Chen Baima ignored the surprised looks of the crowd and walked straight out of the council hall.

……

Chen Baima had a dark face the whole way, his fists were clenched tightly, and there was a faint murderous aura in his eyes. Even from a distance, you could feel that something was wrong with Chen Baima.

A few minutes later, Chen Baima arrived at where Lu Acai was.

Without saying a word, Chen Baima walked straight in.

Seeing that Lu Acai was sitting cross-legged on the table with her eyes closed, Chen Baima spoke first: "Acai."

Lu Acai frowned slightly, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Chen Baima with a puzzled expression. She slowly said, "Is there news about Qin Wu?"

In fact, Lu Acai took Qin Wu's matter quite seriously. When she saw Chen Baima arrive, she subconsciously felt that there was news about Qin Wu.

Upon hearing this, a look of desolation flashed in Chen Baima's eyes. He shook his head and sighed, "No news. So many days have passed. I'm afraid he's really dead. After all, even if Qin Wu had wings, he couldn't fly away from more than a dozen Transcendent Realm experts."

What they didn't know was that Qin Wu not only actually sprouted wings and flew away, but also killed more than a dozen experts at the Transformation Realm...

Lu Acai narrowed her eyes. Hearing Chen Baima say this, she felt a little disappointed, but it was understandable. She quickly let it go and said with a bitter smile, "I hope he's lucky. What's going on today?"

Chen Baima glanced at the sky outside the door with a hint of worry, a complex emotion between his brows, before turning his head and saying, "I heard that the interdimensional beings have started to become active recently. Shouldn't our human cities also start making preparations?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Acai raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes. She joked, "Oh? They've already made their move. We haven't even settled accounts with them for the ambush we suffered earlier, and they've already come knocking on our door. That's fine, it saves me the trouble of finding them."

After speaking, Lu Acai also stood up, staring coldly at the distant sky, and secretly clenched her fist.

Seeing Lu Acai's confidence, Chen Baima smiled with satisfaction: "That's true. If we want to attack Dawn City directly, Dark Night Forest is a very important place. The terrain is complex and full of monsters. If we can hold that area, the plane people won't be able to get in for a while. I'll go and contact Thanos's clan and the Kryptonians to tell them to be careful."

Lu Acai nodded without saying anything.

Seeing that Lu Acai seemed to have something on her mind, Chen Baima frowned slightly, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Seeing that Chen Baima had left, Lu Acai sighed softly, looked at the pitch-black distance, and murmured, "Qin Wu, are you really dead?"

……

Early the next morning.

Deep in the forest canyon, Qin Wu and Qiongqi, one human and one beast, stayed together until dawn.

It seemed that he hadn't rested for too long, and Qin Wu slept very soundly.

He sat up, turned his head to look at Qiongqi, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself: "This monster can really sleep. It's been sleeping since yesterday afternoon and still hasn't woken up."

Seeing Qiongqi with its eyes closed and breathing rhythmically through its nose, Qin Wu carefully stood up, packed his belongings, and slowly raised the Five Elements Spear from the ground with his right hand, preparing to leave this hellish place.

He was extremely cautious, turning back every step of the way, afraid that the slightest noise would wake the monster and make it too late to leave.

"It's been many days since I've been back. I wonder what Dawn City is like now."

Qin Wu smiled and bounced the package behind him. The more than twenty badges weighed several dozen kilograms, but the weight was nothing to Qin Wu; he did it effortlessly.

His eyes burned as he stared intently at the canyon entrance, thinking to himself, "I wonder if you'll see my illustrious achievements and immediately put me at the top of the list?"

.......

Chapter 192: Can't Find a Second One

Just as Qin Wu was feeling smug, a murderous aura suddenly rushed towards him from behind. Two chilling beams of light shot straight towards Qin Wu's back, causing his scalp to tingle and his foot, which had just taken a step, to freeze in place.

A bead of cold sweat slowly seeped from Qin Wu's temple. His face was deathly pale, and his left eyelid twitched violently.

It was obvious that the monster behind him was staring at him.

Qin Wu felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.

"Am I supposed to stay here and work for them for the rest of my life?!"

Qin Wu mechanically turned his head, still shaken, to look at the Qiongqi staring straight at him from behind, his heart pounding.

He chuckled awkwardly, "Your...Your Majesty."

Seeing Qin Wu's humble demeanor, Qiongqi remained motionless, not even exhaling, but its slightly murderous gaze never left Qin Wu.

It was that kind of gaze that made Qin Wu's skin crawl. An invisible fear instantly overwhelmed him. Under immense pressure, Qin Wu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his teeth started chattering with fear.

He was genuinely afraid that the monster would suck him in and devour him.

On the verge of collapse, he cried out, "What sins have I committed?!"

But upon further reflection, Qin Wu realized something was amiss.

Logically speaking, if he wanted to eat me, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now? He must have misunderstood that I was trying to run away.

Qin Wu made up his mind, swallowed hard, and walked shakily to Qiongqi, bowing at a ninety-degree angle with utmost humility: "Your Majesty, you're awake? I was just about to go find you something to eat."

After saying that, Qiongqi's expression changed slightly. Seeing Qin Wu's humble appearance, it withdrew its slightly threatening gaze and looked at him indifferently.

Qin Wu immediately felt incredibly relaxed, and the immense pressure he had felt earlier vanished in an instant. He smiled and felt extremely at ease.

He was secretly pleased: "Hmm, as expected, this monster is a bit clumsy."

Seeing that Qiongqi was no longer staring at him, Qin Wu chuckled and quickly raised the Five Elements Spear, slowly inserting the S-grade alloy spearhead into Qiongqi's long white fur, rhythmically waving the Five Elements Spear with both hands.
