Chapter 6
Editor: Seven
Guo Shi’er hid under a huge brown rock, staring gloomily at the hunting vehicle hovering in the sky . He now regretted a bit not having brought Eagle Demon with him . If there was a Fu Master Warrior beside him, whether it was escaping or attacking, it would be much better than it was now .
Guo Shi’er vowed in his heart that once he advanced to a Saint, he would never let go of the Fu Ye Family .
It wasn’t until after the hunting vehicle had disappeared that Guo Shi’er came out and continued to run without looking back . If there was open ground in front of him, he would fly fast at low altitude .
As long as he survived the three days until he could open the Talisman Gate again, he would be able to return . At that time, he would go back to look for help from his Martial Aunt .
Not knowing how far he had run, Guo Shi’er felt very tired . He found a small stream, sat down to rest and quickly ate some dry food . It was a small, sparse forest, and if a hunting vehicle flew by, Guo Shi’er wouldn’t be able to hide, so he had to hurry up .
Guo Shi’er looked at the sky . He was getting a bit impatient, he had been running for almost five or six hours and there was still a long time before dark . This time could not be discovered, or else a fierce battle would be inevitable .
After eating the dry food, Guo Shi’er didn’t dare to stay any longer and immediately set out . This time he neither ran nor flew, but walked quickly, searching for a place to hide as he moved through . If he could find a hidden cave, it would be ideal, he would be able to hide there for the three days .
The terrain of the Altar Secret Realm was very strange . It was like a chessboard, every square had a mountain but none were connected to the neighboring mountain . At the base of every mountain was a forest, a meadow or gravelly land .
Guo Shi’er hated it with passion . This time, when entering the Altar Secret Realm, he never expected to meet the Fu Ye Family again . He didn’t know how Teacher Luo Jie and the others were doing, and he didn’t want to get caught by them . Now that he knew that the Mid-Level Continent’s professionals wouldn’t take kindly to the Low-Level Continent’s people, getting caught by them would definitely end badly, especially children . It would be a big deal if they entered the Altar Secret Realm .
Children with the potential to be professionals were the most valuable trophies, and once they were caught, it would be hard to escape .
Guo Shi’er pondered as he walked quickly, searching his soul for the inheritance marks that he had received from the Void Mist Dao . He was secretly anxious, “What about Aunt’s… talisman formation? Alas, it’s hard to learn but if I can find a few useful small rune formations, I’ll be able to plot against the other side once . ”
After some hard thinking, Guo Shi’er finally found the memory of the talisman formation, and the huge amount of information left him dizzy . He sat on the ground and sighed in a low voice, “Ugh, why… why is it so much…”
Now on the ground, Guo Shi’er gradually calmed down and mulled over the talisman formation in his memory a little bit . He was a little frustrated after just looking a little bit into it, the amount of information was too much . If he started learning from the basics, he would need eight or ten years to learn it and would not be able to use it freely now .
After sitting for half an hour, Guo Shi’er knew he couldn’t delay it for too long, so he got up and continued .
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and Guo Shi’er couldn’t help but slap his thigh and say in his heart, “Right, why should I learn from scratch? Just finding some usable talismans will do . If I carry enough materials with me, I can set up a formation and let the Fu Ye members have a taste of it!”
With a goal in mind, Guo Shi’er was no longer frustrated but excited . His mind worked at high speed as he began to search for a talisman formation he could use .
Soon, Guo Shi’er became gloomy again . There indeed were quite a few ready-made talismanic formations, both large and small scale, and he specifically picked those small talismanic formations to ponder over . However, the requirements of those talisman formations were quite high . They needed special talismans to work, and where could he find any of the talismans that were specially designed to match the talisman formation? One by one, the talisman formations that seemed to be very useful were all rejected by him .
After several hundreds of rejected talisman formations, Guo Shi’er was tired of walking . He looked up at the sky, and before he knew it, the sky had become dark . He was secretly happy that the day was almost over .
The surrounding area was silent and Guo Shi’er had the flying talisman with him . Even if he didn’t fly, he was still light, fast and silent when traversing, like a ghost .
…… . .
The Fu Ye family went crazy, the two Fu Warriors guarding the altar were killed in a single blow by a child, and the fact that the child could fly means that he was at least a Rune Grandmaster .
This Altar Secret Realm was only recently discovered by them . The people from the top hadn’t arrived yet, and the only ones coming in were the family’s mid and low-level disciples .
The entire Fu Ye Family had sent out thousands of people and hundreds of hunting vehicles to search the Altar Secret Realm extensively . When they found the altar, they met Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan, and it resulted in a fierce battle when they met . At the time, both Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan had the strength of a Beginner Unbridled . Even if they hadn’t mastered an Unbridled’s professional skills, they were still stronger than Master professionals .
Within a short time, the Fu Ye Family suffered a great loss . Dozens were killed and they easily got away .
Immediately, the Fu Ye Family sent thousands of more professionals in, who brought more hunting vehicles with them .
This Altar Secret Realm was also a huge temptation for Mid-Level Continent professionals as the altar was most likely a treasure left from ancient times . Countless mysteries could be studied .
News of the discovery of Guo Shi’er quickly spread back to the Fu Ye Family and the family immediately dispatched high-ranking professionals, including two Beginner Saint experts and thousands of hunting vehicles out to search for him . To their surprise, Guo Shi’er seemed to have disappeared, with no trace of him to be found .
The Fu Ye Family knew the seriousness of this matter . It was fine if this kid was a Low-Level Continent professional, but if he was from a Mid-Level Continent like themselves, it would be big trouble .
If this little guy was from a High-Level Continent, it would be even more frightening . If he brought high-level professionals, then the Fu Ye Family would not be able to resist, so it was necessary to capture Guo Shi’er, and only by capturing him and understanding the situation, could they decide what to do next .
…… . .
Since he could fly, Guo Shi’er left almost no footprints . As the sky darkened, he knew he was safer, and as long as he was careful, he would not be discovered . However, only one day out of three had passed and if the Talisman Gate couldn’t be used, it couldn’t truly be considered an escape .
Guo Shi’er was very careful, leaving as few traces as possible . With his strength, even if he was surrounded by more than a dozen hunting vehicles, he would be able to escape with ease, but he couldn’t handle the large number of hunting vehicles that followed . The flying speed of the hunting vehicles was slightly faster than the flying talisman’s, so he absolutely could not make contact with them .
Guo Shi’er quietly ventured into the dense forest, found a relatively thick tree, climbed up, sat on a large branch, and took out dry food and fresh water . After eating and drinking, he slept with a stick in his arms . He needed to recover his strength as soon as possible .
In the middle of the night, a rustling noise was heard . Guo Shi’er woke up immediately and listened carefully . The noise should be some kind of creature, but he didn’t know if it was a Fu beast or a normal one . Thinking back to the last time he had killed a mutated Fu insect in the Altar Secret Realm, he couldn’t help but secretly pray that it wouldn’t be another one, that thing was horrible to go against!
Although it was night, the woods were not dark . Guo Shi’er used a spirit eye talisman and the surroundings suddenly turned bright, like night vision from his previous life . Even in the darkness of the night, just a bit of light was enough to see all around you .
The rustling sounds were getting louder and louder and were extremely clear in the silent forest . Guo Shi’er felt creeped out as he lamented in his heart, “Damn, a Fu insect… Alas, I hope it’s not a mutant Fu insect… Uh, damn . I’m such a crow’s beak…[1]” He wanted to cry when he looked over at the Fu insect that had come over . It was a freaking mutated Fu insect!
At this point, Guo Shi’er couldn’t even escape even if he wanted to because the mutated Fu insect was also staring at him . It was a seven or eight-meter long centipede, and the strange thing was that the large centipede actually had wings . Guo Shi’er was horrified, he clearly saw that the centipede had two pairs of translucent wings that clung to its back .
The centipede had two sturdy antennas that waved on its head, and two arm-thick pronounced teeth that opened and closed, making tiny squeaking sounds that could be heard . It crawled not too quickly, with hundreds of legs stepping over the grass and trees, making a small rustling sound, and a symbol was seen on its moving body .
The centipede suddenly stopped, its huge head looked up and its hard-shell encrusted eyes emitted a cold chill . The hairs on Guo Shi’er’s body stood on their ends, knowing that the bug was staring at him .
Slowly, the Mutant Centipede erected its front half and stretched out its two pairs of translucent wings . Guo Shi’er understood at a glance that the guy wanted to pounce on him .
At that moment, he had completely calmed down, releasing talismans with both hands in succession, and after only a second, a black dot spurted out of his mouth and landed directly in front of the Mutated Centipede .
With a popping sound, a scorpion appeared .
This was the Ancient Insect Talisman Guo Shi’er had obtained, the Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion . At this point, he could only fight, running was impossible as the Mutant Centipede had wings and wouldn’t let him escape by flying .
As soon as the Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion appeared, it attracted the Mutant Centipede’s attention .
The two big guys immediately went up against each other, each making intimidating noises . Guo Shi’er let out a small sigh of relief and began preparing his Sword Talisman, intending to kill the large centipede .
The Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion was strong enough to deal with that large centipede, but Guo Shi’er didn’t dare to take too long, in case it alerted the Fu Ye Family .
The Dark-Winged Demonic Scorpion raised its tail high . Its shining stinger was ready to stab at any moment and it swung its two claws as it circled around the large centipede . As Guo Shi’er’s mind stirred up, the pouch on the Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion suddenly cracked open and out came several hundreds of small scorpions the size of a basin . They all slid down from the scorpion’s back .
The Mutated Centipede tensed up and the antennas on its head quivered . It appeared a little uneasy, not expecting such an ancient scorpion to appear . The innate pressure caused it to feel fear . It also probably understood that it had met a strong enemy .
The two extremely large insects were testing each other . Guo Shi’er quietly sent out a Sword Talisman, but for the time being, he didn’t launch an attack . Instead, he let the blade hover in the air static . He wouldn’t attack easily until the time was right, he hoped to strike a blow .
There was a loud boom .

The Mutant Centipede couldn’t endure the pressure and attacked before anyone else . Its wings vibrated and its body hung slightly in the air, hitting the Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion hard . Guo Shi’er quickly activated the flying talisman and the tree beneath him instantly shattered and collapsed . It was hit by the Mutant Centipede’s body .
Guo Shi’er’s heart was frightened of the Mutant Centipede’s hard body and he was now even more reluctant to attack with his light blade . He wanted to find the centipede’s weak point . He understood that it would be hard for his light blade to break through the centipede’s hard shell .
Each of those small scorpions was the size of a basin, and one by one, they moved quickly to the centipede’s sides and used their scorpion claws to clamp the centipede’s feet and restricts its movement .
The two scorpion pincers of the Dark Winged Demon Scorpion suddenly moved forward and clamped onto the sides of the centipede’s head at once, followed by the thick scorpion tail moving at lightning speed! With a fling, the sharp scorpion stinger stabbed it directly .
Ka-ching!
The scorpion stinger pierced deeply into the centipede’s jaws . Guo Shi’er only felt a chill as he saw the scorpion poison being injected into the centipede’s body . Immediately after, the Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion’s wings vibrated and it quickly retreated backwards . The small scorpions also scattered . Guo Shi’er was stunned and retreated quickly .
The Dark Winged Devil Scorpion’s attack was so quick that it only took a few seconds for the entire thing .
The Mutant Centipede began to roll violently . The Ancient Scorpion’s poison was extraordinary, once injected into the body, even if the centipede was an equally poisonous Fu insect, it would still be unbearable .
There was a loud rumble and the rolling Mutant Centipede smashed all of its surrounding trees and even a boulder while its mouth emitted a painful screech .
Guo Shi’er withdrew his sword rune, he knew that the Mutant Centipede was finished . For the first time, he realized how powerful the Ancient Insect Talisman he possessed was and couldn’t help but feel happy . Using this Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion, he was able to easily exterminate a mutated Fu insect, which was previously unimaginable for him, but he didn’t know what level this Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion was! He felt that this Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion was definitely not of a low level .
The Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion was standing not far away, eyeing the rolling centipede . Guo Shi’er could even see the greed in its eyes .
Guo Shi’er looked at the sky uneasily, the sky was already getting brighter, it was almost dawn .
The Mutant Centipede’s resilience surprised Guo Shi’er, as until now, it was still rolling like crazy . The Dark Winged Devil Scorpion waited patiently and the small scorpions also waited around, far away from the crazy centipede . They were all waiting for the moment when the Mutant Centipede fell .
After a full hour of tossing and rolling, the Mutant Centipede began to twitch . Guo Shi’er was elated, knowing that the centipede wasn’t going to make it any further .
Gradually, the centipede lost its strength, but the Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion still waited motionlessly .
After a few more minutes, the centipede began to bite things randomly .
Guo Shi’er drew a breath of cold air, this was simply too terrifying . Anything that was bitten by the Mutant Centipede immediately shattered . Whether it was a rock on the ground or a hard tree trunk, it was all shattered in one bite .
Finally, the Mutant Centipede stopped moving .
Guo Shi’er let out a long sigh . It was already dawn and he was secretly worried, it seemed that there was no time to dismantle the Mutant Centipede .
When the Mutated Centipede stopped moving, the Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion rushed over like a fly and so did the small scorpions . The Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion quickly flipped the Mutant Centipede over, revealing the stinger wound on its head, and tore open its mouth with great force . Guo Shi’er’s heart was slightly moved, but he didn’t stop the Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion’s action .
The Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion only tore open its head and then traveled forward along the centipede . The small scorpions surged to the edge of the ripped opening and burrowed in one by one . The Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion then bit open another hole on the centipede’s abdomen before it began to eat it crazily .
Guo Shi’er looked at the sky and secretly gritted his teeth, saying in his heart, “We can only stay here for an hour, I’m afraid it will be dangerous if we go any longer . ” He ran to the Mutant Centipede’s head and started to dismantle it, mainly for its two sharp teeth . As for the blood, he had to give it up . An Ancient Scorpion’s poison was no joke . The centipede’s blood was already full of venom and even if it was purified, it would be useless .
Hundreds of small scorpions, plus one Ancient Scorpion, quickly ate the mutated centipede’s blood and flesh . They didn’t seem to have had enough and started gnawing on the centipede’s hard shell with loud chattering sounds . In less than an hour, nothing of Mutant Centipede was left . It was eaten clean .
Guo Shi’er couldn’t help but lament, “Damn, clean and environmentally friendly!”
The Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion vibrated its wings, and one by one, the small scorpions crawled onto its back, re-entering a small gaping hole and only leaving a bit of it’s back exposed .
Guo Shi’er suddenly noticed that this Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion looked a little different now . The runes on its body were clearer and the colors became brighter as if it had evolved . He was secretly surprised, could this Ancient Scorpion advance through hunting Fu insects?
The Dark Winged Demonic returned to the Ancient Insect Talisman in the Origin Ball .
Guo Shi’er clearly noticed a big change in the Ancient Insect Talisman, it was even more powerful and fierce . This was proof that even consuming a single mutated Fu insect could make the Dark Winged Demonic Scorpion stronger .
Guo Shi’er thought that if this Ancient Insect Talisman was still in Lan Tembo’s hands, even if he killed one mutated Fu insect, it would be impossible to have the Dark Winged Demon Scorpion eat it since a mutated Fu insect was an extremely precious treasure to the Insect Talisman Sect .
Guo Shi’er observed his surroundings quickly and sighed in his heart . He didn’t have time to cover up the traces of the battle and could only activate the flying talisman and quickly leave .
Traces of hunting carts could already be seen on the horizon . Guo Shi’er knew that the farther away from the battle’s location, the better .
Less than two hours after Guo Shi’er left, three hunting vehicles flew in a zigzag pattern and quickly swept overhead . A moment later, the three hunting vehicles returned and parked over a stretch of forest and one of them slowly landed .
A few people from the Fu Ye family stepped down from the vehicle and took a closer look . One of them said, “Looks like the little guy was here last night… Looks like he encountered something powerful… Remarkable . In this Altar Secret Realm, the most common ones are mutant Fu insects and it looks like he encountered one them . ”
An old man in the group didn’t say anything, squatting down and fiddling with the dirt with his hands . Soon, he found a palm-sized piece of centipede shell, smelled it, looked at the runes on it, and tried to break it with great effort . The shell didn’t even budge and he touched the edge of the shell with his finger . A long time later, he said, “Mutant Centipede… at least a rank 4 mutated Fu insect, maybe a rank 5… powerful…”
A young man with a Fu javelin beside him said, “A child can kill a rank 4 mutated Fu insect? How is that possible? Even if he’s a Beginner Rune Grandmaster, he can’t be this powerful . ”
The old man shook his head and said, “He didn’t kill it himself, he had a powerful insect talisman . ”
The young man wondered, “How do you know?”
The old man reprimanded, “Usually, I teach you to be observant, but such obvious traces are left here and you still ask me how? Don’t you have a brain to not think about nonsense? Don’t act like a fool!”
The young man had a red face from being scolded, but he didn’t dare retort and only accompanied the smile . Another person asked, “What kind of insect talisman is so powerful?”
The old man held up the remainings of the shell in his hand and said, “This is the shell was left over from being eaten by the mutated Fu insect . You can tell by looking at the edges . This means that this Mutant Centipede was eaten… With the little guy’s strength, he didn’t have the time to dismantle the giant Mutant Centipede . ”
The young man couldn’t help it again and asked, “Why a giant Mutant Centipede?”
The old man held back a sigh of relief and said, “Look at the traces left behind yourself . There are so many broken trees and rocks, who do you think broke them? Look at that ditch, it was obviously left by a Mutant Centipede . If this centipede was small, how could it leave such a big trail?
If Guo Shi’er were here, he would have admired the old man in his heart . He was able to analyze the situation from the traces left behind .
The old man said, “Immediately send a signal . Gather your men and use this as the starting point for the search and spread out . Hehe, I believe he can’t run very far . He took a day to run here from the Altar Secret Realm . This time, we will definitely catch him!”
The young man agreed and raised his hand to send out a Fu letter .
The other man said, “I’ll go to the hunting vehicle and contact the nearby hunting vehicles . ”
The old man smiled, “Good, finally some good news . Get all the people here, we can’t give the little guy too much time… at all! Interesting little guy, if you can catch him… hehe . ” Seeing the ghastly light in his eyes, the young man next to him shuddered .
A large number of hunting vehicles flew towards their location .
…… . .
Guo Shi’er didn’t set up the Formation and flew straight and close to the ground, his speed was always increased to the maximum . In the meantime, he saw several hunting vehicles flying across the sky, leaving faint traces . With a little bit of analysis, he understood that the direction of the hunting vehicles went was the place where he had stayed last night .
Looking at the trajectories of the hunting vehicles, Guo Shi’er immediately understood what the Fu Ye’s were thinking . He guessed the old man’s plan, so he didn’t even bother to try to hide his tracks and flew forward as far as he could .
He knew that the hunting vehicles were faster than him, but he had the advantage of having run for more than two hours ahead of them, and with the other party trying to gather the hunting vehicles first, none of them were going to set out soon . With these three hours of advantage, he could run far away .
Guo Shi’er pushed himself to his limit to use the flying talisman and increased his speed to the extreme . Due to the close proximity to the ground, the air currents of flight blew away weeds and dead branches on the ground, throwing them to the sides and left a faint trace of his flight trajectory .
About a few hundred li away from Guo Shi’er, the hunting vehicles started up quickly and flew in all directions .
