Chapter 683: Chapter 562: First Arrival in the Secret Realm_2

"Elder Wang, how did those Demon Beasts in the back mountain come about?"

He asked curiously.

Logically speaking, this Secret Realm is isolated from the world. Unless someone deliberately brought Demon Beasts inside, the only possibility is that they already existed here.

"They were originally here," Elder Wang replied, "When the Red Dragon Sect was still around, they developed a Medicinal Garden in the back mountain specifically for planting Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and raised some Demon Beasts to loosen the soil and irrigate the Treasure Medicine in the garden. After the sect’s destruction, most elders and disciples died in that battle,

but a few Demon Beasts managed to hide deeply and survived. After hundreds of years of breeding, their numbers and strength have grown. The Flying Centipede is just one type, and there are others even more difficult to deal with. Even Mid-Stage Celestial Realm Martial Artists would have to run if encountered."

Chen Fan’s eyes widened.

Mid-Stage Celestial Realm Martial Artists would have to run, which means these Demon Beasts are equivalent to Divine Cultivation Realm Martial Artists.

Goodness, does it mean the Flying Centipede is the weakest here?

"Now you understand why I repeatedly warned you to be careful?"

Elder Wang showed a slight smile, "Luckily, the location of the Celestial Net Root is at the outer edge of the Medicinal Garden, guarded only by a few Flying Centipedes. Even if we accidentally disturb them, as long as we don’t get greedy and quickly flee, they won’t be able to do much to us. But if we venture deeper, encountering other creatures would be unpredictable. Follow me."

As he spoke, he dashed into the mountain forest, moving swiftly.

After all, it was safe near the mountain gate, but once deep in the forest, some Demon Beasts might wake up. The longer it takes, the harder it will be to pick the Treasure Medicine.

Chen Fan followed quickly.

As they approached the sect’s core area, he felt as if something was watching him. He looked towards the sect hall but saw nothing.

"Could it be those ghostly beings Elder Wang mentioned?"

Chen Fan felt a chill to his spine and moved away a bit.

"It’s just ahead."

Elder Wang’s tone showed some joy, but just then, an unexpected change occurred.

The ground in front suddenly burst open, and a giant centipede sprang out!

Its body was pitch-black, like it wore armor that rendered it invulnerable. Most remarkably, it had four pairs of wings and surged towards them like a missile.

"Not good! Run quickly!"

Elder Wang shouted and turned to flee.

He knew, while picking Treasure Medicine before, he had been chased by these creatures to the exit. A second time within a short period surely wouldn’t be so easy.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Soon, two more Flying Centipedes burst from the ground. One targeted Elder Wang, while the other aimed at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was startled. Three Flying Centipedes amount to three Mid-Stage Celestial Realm Martial Artists; currently, he had little chance of defeating them.

Most importantly, Elder Wang was also present.

After a brief hesitation, he followed Elder Wang and ran towards the exit.

The three Flying Centipedes chased relentlessly.

Luckily, the exit was in sight, and they dashed inside.

With a blur of vision, the cliff reappeared beneath their feet.

"Elder Wang? Why didn’t those Flying Centipedes chase us out?"

Chen Fan looked behind curiously.

He had even thought, when they came out, he could hit them hard. Given their size, getting out easily wasn’t an option.

"I’m not sure of the exact reason, maybe they fear something,"

Elder Wang took a deep breath, "Logically, these Demon Beasts should not leave the Medicinal Garden, but without anyone managing them, they regain their wild nature. You’ve seen the situation; they can chase us from the back mountain to the mountain gate. It’s just that the outside world feels unfamiliar to them, so they dare not come out."

"That makes sense."

Chen Fan nodded.

"Elder Wang, are you alright?"

"I’m fine," Elder Wang said with a bitter smile, "I knew this time wouldn’t be as smooth as before, so I stayed highly alert. It proved to be correct. Chen Fan, I think we should avoid going in there in the short term."

"Elder Wang, I want to go in alone."

Chen Fan said.

"What?"
