The two quickly dissected the bodies of the Demon Beasts and then rushed out of the Demon Beast Forest.
As for Pang Qing, he truly didn't want to ever return to the Demon Beast Forest.
Once bitten by a snake, one fears the well rope for a decade. Having walked through the Gates of Hell this time, Pang Qing would never forget today's events.
"There are a total of 381 First Order Demon Crystals and 84 Second Order Demon Crystals," Su Han said.
Outside the Demon Beast Forest, there was a strong excitement in Pang Qing's eyes.
Together, that was well over 400 Demon Crystals!
When had he ever seen so many Demon Crystals?
It took several bags for the two of them to carry all these Demon Crystals away.
"While there are many First Order Demon Crystals, the Second Order ones are more valuable. In terms of worth, these 84 Second Order Demon Crystals are much more precious," Su Han said.
"Mm," Pang Qing nodded.
Second Order Demon Crystals were worth many times more than First Order ones. A First Order Demon Crystal was worth about 300 to 500 Gold Coins, while a Second Order Demon Crystal was worth 1500 to 2000 Gold Coins.
"You take these."
Su Han tossed two bags to Pang Qing, one filled with First Order and the other with Second Order Demon Crystals.
"This, this is too much..."
Pang Qing quickly objected. Those two bags contained fifty or sixty First Order Demon Crystals and about twenty Second Order ones.
This time, he had barely exerted any effort; all the Demon Beasts were killed by Su Han himself. One could even say that Su Han had saved his life. Although he coveted the Demon Crystals, he still had some sense of shame.
"If I tell you to hold them, just hold them. You've also helped me separate a batch of Demon Beasts," Su Han said. "Moreover, giving you these Demon Beasts is also for gaining your support in the family."
"I'm just a small Guest Elder, a Guard Team Captain in the family. I don't have much of a say. My support probably won't do much," Pang Qing said, shaking his head in self-deprecation.
"You belong to the branch of your uncle Su Yunlie; your words still carry weight," Su Han said with a light smile.
"Oh! I told you, if I survived this, I would tell you a huge secret!" Pang Qing suddenly remembered something.
Su Han found this rather amusing.
As the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor in a past life, what hadn't he seen before? He wondered what this so-called "huge secret" could be.
"Go ahead," Su Han said.
"Young Master Han, do you know why I was chased by so many Demon Beasts yet remained unscathed?" Pang Qing counter-asked.
Su Han shook his head.
"It's because I discovered a cave!"
Pang Qing said, "The cave is very large, but extremely hidden. I accidentally fell into it; the top was covered with bushes."
"Oh?"
Su Han asked, "What's inside that cave?"
"I don't know, but after I fell in, the Demon Beasts just circled around the cave, not daring to go down. And not too long after, they all retreated. If it weren't for needing to meet up with you here, I would surely have waited for them to leave entirely before coming out," Pang Qing explained.
"Is that the huge secret?" Su Han asked teasingly, emphasizing the words "huge" heavily.
Pang Qing immediately grew anxious: "The cave is not the point; the point is, in that pitch-darkness, I saw a flash of green light. And when that green light flashed, my Cultivation Base unconsciously went from the late stage of the Dragon Blood Realm directly to the Peak of the Dragon Blood Realm!"
"Hmm?"
Su Han now took it seriously.
Just a flash of green light had elevated Pang Qing to the Peak of the Dragon Blood Realm?
"Are you sure your Cultivation Base improved because of seeing that green light? You know, many people break through during battle by triggering their potential; maybe you fall into that category," Su Han said.
"Absolutely not!"
Pang Qing explained, "I am very clear about why I was able to break through. Otherwise, I wouldn't say it's a huge secret!"
"Alright, I understand. Do not speak of this matter outside, you and I know, and that is enough," Su Han nodded.
In his previous life, he had presided over the Holy Domain, looking upon all things with equanimity. However, having been reborn with his cultivation base completely lost, he still needed to obtain what was necessary.
"I will definitely not speak of it to others," Pang Qing said.
"Come find me in a few days, and I will tailor-make a secret technique for you," Su Han's gaze flickered.
"A secret technique?" Pang Qing was somewhat puzzled.
"Oh, that is what you call a Dragon Technique."
Su Han walked forward with a smile.
"Tailor-make a Dragon Technique for me?"
Watching Su Han's retreating figure, Pang Qing couldn't believe it; after all, that was a Dragon Technique!
Even the simplest Dragon Technique was passed down from older generations of powerful predecessors.
Yet, despite his disbelief, for some reason, Pang Qing was filled with anticipation for the 'tailor-made Dragon Technique' that Su Han had spoken of.
"Perhaps it is because I have seen too many miracles from him today. But a Dragon Technique… With just his Dragon Vein Realm, it's difficult enough for him to create one himself, let alone create one for me," Pang Qing thought, shaking his head as he caught up to Su Han's silhouette.
…
In Yuanshan County, the Su Family.
The Four Great Family Heads were all looking in the hall, watching Su Minghui and others, who had finished freshening up, walking in from outside. Su Yunchen smiled and said, "Minghui, Mingxuan, how come you're back so soon? How was the harvest this time?"
Neither Su Minghui nor Su Mingxuan spoke, but there was an excited glint hiding in their lowered eyes.
With the crisis now over, the fear in their hearts naturally dissipated, giving way to excitement.
Intense excitement over Su Han's death!
"Second Family Master, we encountered a great crisis in the Demon Beast Mountain Range and didn't gain much," Hu Feng spoke up from the side.
"A crisis?"
Both Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng immediately said, "Minghui, Mingxuan, are you alright?"
"Father, we are fine," both of them smiled.
"And Han'er?"
Seeing that Su Han wasn't among the crowd and previously assuming that he hadn't finished freshening up, Su Yunming grew anxious upon hearing that there had been a crisis in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
"Young Master Han…" Hu Feng hesitated.
"What about Su Han?" Family Head Su Yunlie also frowned and asked.
"Su Han is dead."
Before Hu Feng could speak, Su Mingxuan looked up and said, "Su Han was too impulsive. We were being chased by many demon beasts, and even though he could have escaped, his greed for the cores of the demon beasts was too great. No matter how we tried to persuade him, he wouldn't leave, not realizing his own strength. He's probably dead in the Demon Beast Mountain Range by now."
"What?!"
Su Yunming abruptly stood up, his eyes bursting with a shocking chill.
"Boom!"
A powerful aura also rose from his body, one that belonged to the Dragon Spirit Realm!
All four heads of the Su Family were in the Dragon Spirit Realm, which could be said to be the strongest in the entire Yuanshan County of the Four Great Families. Among them, the one at the peak was Head of the Xiao Family, Xiao Hengshan, at the Peak of the Dragon Spirit Realm.
