50: Chapter 50 This is a Gold 9-Star Resource!

Boom! ! !

Accompanied by a loud roar, the largest and most powerful Giant Pincer Mountain Spider crashed to the ground.

Swish!

Just as this Giant Pincer Mountain Spider fell, a black shadow suddenly appeared on its corpse, followed by the flash of blade light and splashing blood.

At a closer look, it was precisely the Dark Blade Mantis continuously wielding its dual blades and cutting up the corpse of the Giant Pincer Mountain Spider.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of the Armored Giant Turtle and Fire Python Tiger beside it, the Dark Blade Mantis carved a large hole into the corpse of the Giant Pincer Mountain Spider, and then dug out a heart even larger than its entire body.

Immediately afterward, under the shocked gazes of Fang Wenbin and Fang Wenhao, it began to eat it in large mouthfuls.

After experiencing the benefits brought to it by the Silver Grade demonic beast's heart, the Dark Blade Mantis no longer needed Chu Xiu's instructions; like a sweeping storm, it devoured the heart—which was even larger than its own body—clean in the blink of an eye.

After finishing this one, it flew without stopping toward the corpse of another Giant Pincer Mountain Spider.

As yet another Silver Grade demonic beast's heart was devoured by the Dark Blade Mantis, the blood-red color lingering around the Dark Blade Mantis appeared once again.

Even on its dark green carapace, a faint dark red blood stripe faintly appeared. While its aura slowly grew stronger, its entire body exuded a fierce and baleful aura.

This change caused the Armored Giant Turtle and Fire Python Tiger approaching it to involuntarily back away.

"Swallowing demonic beast hearts allows one to rapidly grow stronger. Th-This... what kind of ability is this?!"

Watching the Dark Blade Mantis once again dig out a heart to feast on heartily while its aura grew increasingly powerful, both Fang Wenbin and Fang Wenhao swallowed hard in shock, a look of uncertainty flashing across their eyes before finally turning to look at Chu Xiu beside them.

Seeing this, the corners of Chu Xiu's mouth lifted slightly as he smiled and explained, "My beast is a mutated beast, so it's a bit special. Please don't take offense, you two."

"So it's a mutated beast. No wonder I've never heard of this kind of mantis-type demonic beast."

Hearing this, Fang Wenbin and Fang Wenhao finally wore expressions of sudden realization.

Afterward, Fang Wenbin said to Chu Xiu with an envious expression, "Little brother is truly blessed. I reckon this mutated mantis beast is at least of epic quality, right?"

"It's alright. I indeed had a bit of luck when I ran into Xiaodao."

Hearing Fang Wenbin's words, Chu Xiu smiled calmly and neither confirmed nor denied it.

"Brother, you go..."

Just as Chu Xiu and Fang Wenbin were talking, behind the two of them, Fang Mo stealthily pulled at Fang Hang's sleeve and whispered into his ear.

"No way. If you want to say it, go say it yourself."

After listening to Fang Mo's words, Fang Hang gave her a strange look and shook his head.

"Aiya, good brother, I beg you, just help me this once."

Seeing this, Fang Mo immediately tugged at the right sleeve of Fang Hang's garment, shook her head, and cooed in a lowered voice.

At the same time, the corner of her eye kept secretly staring at Chu Xiu and Fang Wenbin ahead. Seeing that neither of them noticed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Sigh, there really is nothing I can do with you. Fine, I'll help you this once."

With no other choice against his acting-spoiled younger sister before him, Fang Hang could only sigh helplessly. Then he slowly stepped forward and arrived beside Fang Wenbin and Chu Xiu.

"Father, now that the danger has been eliminated and Brother Chu is our savior, we should invite Brother Chu to our home as a guest to properly thank him."

After Fang Hang finished speaking, Fang Wenhao on the side immediately chimed in to agree, "Big Brother, Xiaohang makes sense. We truly should properly thank little friend Chu Xiu; if it weren't for little friend Chu Xiu's helping hand, we wouldn't have been able to return alive."

Hearing this, Fang Wenbin nodded and sincerely issued an invitation to Chu Xiu. "Little friend Chu Xiu, come back to Yongjin City with us to the Fang Family. That way, we can fulfill our role as hosts and express our gratitude."

However, faced with his invitation, Chu Xiu shook his head: "Thank you all for your kind intentions, but I have just entered the secret realm and still have important matters, so I need to stay here for a while longer. As you can all see, my beast requires the hearts of Silver Grade demonic beasts. Brother Fang Hang being able to lead me to this batch of Silver Grade Giant Pincer Mountain Spiders is already the best reward for me."

"How can that do? These are two different matters."

"That's right, even if all the Giant Pincer Mountain Spiders here belonged entirely to little friend, it wouldn't be enough to repay little friend for saving our lives."

"Brother Chu's grace of saving our lives, we will never dare forget."

Hearing Chu Xiu put it this way, the three of Fang Wenbin immediately shook their heads, insisting on repaying his life-saving grace no matter what.

Looking at the few people whose hospitality was hard to refuse, Chu Xiu could only smile helplessly.

But soon, a thought struck him, and he immediately spoke, "If you insist on repaying me, why not help me inquire about the news of the winter sacrifice soul fruit? This winter sacrifice soul fruit is of great use to me!"

The winter sacrifice soul fruit was one of the resources required for the evolution of the Snow Shadow Battle Lion, belonging to Gold-tier 9-Star resources. He had previously not heard any news about the winter sacrifice soul fruit in Linjiang City.

The Fang Family's strength was not weak, and Yongjin City was also larger than Linjiang City; perhaps there would be news of the winter sacrifice soul fruit there.

Afterwards, upon hearing Chu Xiu's words, Fang Mo immediately stepped forward and exclaimed, "I seem to have seen an introduction to the winter sacrifice soul fruit in a book. This seems to be a Gold-tier 9-Star resource, incomparably precious!"

"Mhm, Miss Fang Mo is well-informed. The winter sacrifice soul fruit is indeed a Gold-tier 9-Star resource."

Hearing this, Chu Xiu nodded toward Fang Mo and cast an appreciative gaze. Although the winter sacrifice soul fruit was a Gold-tier 9-Star resource, it was extremely obscure, and not many people knew about it.

For example, when he mentioned the winter sacrifice soul fruit earlier, the three of Fang Wenbin had blank expressions.

"Brother Chu flatters me too much. I only saw the introduction of the winter sacrifice soul fruit by chance once in the school library."

Hearing Chu Xiu's praise, a blush flashed across Fang Mo's face as she quickly spoke, though she was secretly overjoyed in her heart.

"It's actually a Gold-tier 9-Star resource."

Only then did the three of Fang Wenbin react, each of their faces revealing expressions of shock.

Every single Gold-tier resource was incomparably precious, and Gold-tier 9-Star resources were the pinnacle among them.

Even with the Fang Family's foundation, exhausting all their efforts might not necessarily allow them to purchase a Gold-tier 9-Star resource.

Seeming to notice the awkwardness of Fang Wenbin and the others, Chu Xiu smiled and added, "You only need to help me inquire about the news. This is my contact information; just make a note of it."

As he spoke, he stated his contact number.

"Mhm, after we return, we will definitely do our utmost to inquire about news regarding the winter sacrifice soul fruit. Once we discover any news of the winter sacrifice soul fruit, we will immediately notify little friend."

After obtaining Chu Xiu's contact information, Fang Wenbin immediately nodded toward Chu Xiu and made a solemn guarantee.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu cupped his fists toward the few of them.

"In that case, I will have to trouble you."

"Since the matters here are settled, I will take my leave first."

The next moment, an ice-crystal male lion radiating biting cold throughout its body and standing over two meters tall at the shoulder appeared beside Chu Xiu. It was precisely the Snow Shadow Battle Lion summoned by Chu Xiu from the Beast Taming Space.

"Xiaodao, Dabai, let's go."

Without waiting for the members of the Fang Family to urge them to stay, Chu Xiu turned over and mounted the Snow Shadow Battle Lion, giving a soft shout.

The Snow Shadow Battle Lion immediately turned around and galloped into the distance.

Meanwhile, Xiaodao had also completely swallowed the hearts of the four Silver Grade Giant Pincer Mountain Spiders. Hearing Chu Xiu's call, it instantly spread its wings and followed.
