59: When you hit me, I strike hard; but when you hit others, you cower and meek!

"They're moving over."

"Haha, opening the Treasure Trove at a time like this? Stupid! Utterly stupid!"

From the bushes, Fan Feng watched as Lu Chen's trio stood up, dusted themselves off, walked right past the One-Horned Goat, and headed straight to open the Treasure Trove.

His entire body trembled with excitement.

He desperately covered his mouth to keep from laughing out loud.

"Go ahead, open the treasure. That One-Horned Goat will resurrect and stab you right through the heart from behind!"

"Then you'll cry out in shock—'Ah, the Secret Realm monsters can actually resurrect!'"

"Hahaha, this City Lord is going to die of laughter!"

"Open it quickly, resurrect quickly!"

Fan Feng's eyes were wide open, refusing to blink for even a second, fearing he would miss the perfect moment when the Guardian Beast, the One-Horned Goat, resurrected to ambush Ning Xiwei's group.

Staring wide-eyed for so long made his eyeballs dry.

"Endure!"

The whites of his eyes were now covered in bloodshot veins.

"Keep enduring!"

"Hehehe, based on my experience of being ambushed by resurrected Secret Realm monsters, this One-Horned Goat will definitely resurrect in three seconds!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Resurrect!"

"Eh?"

"It hasn't resurrected yet. Maybe this one has a low Realm and needs a bit more time."

At that moment.

Ning Xiwei opened the Treasure Trove, picked up a few sparkling gems, and left with Lu Chen and Sun Feifei.

They walked right past the One-Horned Goat.

"Resurrect for me!"

Fan Feng roared inwardly, his eyes bloodshot.

Lu Chen's trio walked further away.

The giant One-Horned Goat still hadn't resurrected.

"Resurrect already! Chase them!"

Fan Feng growled under his breath.

Lu Chen's trio was now three hundred meters away, their figures becoming blurry.

The giant One-Horned Goat still hadn't resurrected!

"Bastard!"

"This Secret Realm monster actually won't resurrect? Consider yourselves lucky!"

"Damn it!"

Fan Feng's face was full of resentment.

"Hmph, a low-probability event. The next Guardian Beast will definitely kill you!"

Fan Feng took a detour and ran ahead of Lu Chen's trio to look for another claimed Treasure Trove.

Soon.

He actually discovered another Guardian Beast. This one was at the Fifth Realm, only a notch weaker than the giant ape that had been chasing him.

"Heaven is helping me! Heaven is truly helping me!"

"A Fifth Realm Guardian Beast will definitely be able to resurrect!"

"This place is close to those three little thieves, perfect!"

"The only problem is I'm afraid those little thieves won't dare to take it on."

Fan Feng rubbed his sore eyes and sneered.

Then, he feigned a cry of shock before hiding behind a dirt mound.

"It seems that Hanbing City Lord has discovered another claimed Treasure Trove."

Ning Xiwei tossed a faintly glowing, green diamond-shaped gem into the air and caught it, repeating the action over and over, having a great time.

This faintly glowing green gem was a Rank Four wind-attribute gem. If socketed into a weapon, it could increase attack speed.

If socketed into armor, it could reduce the armor's weight.

Beside her, Sun Feifei pulled a faintly glowing red diamond-shaped gem from her pouch, examined it for a moment, then tucked it back in with a gentle smile.

Hers was a Rank Four strength gem, which could amplify a weapon's power.

Lu Chen heard Fan Feng's fake cry of alarm.

He also leaped in front of the two women and discovered a giant bear with horns growing from its brows.

This giant bear was at the Fifth Realm.

Lu Chen stood where he was, observing.

Fan Feng poked his head out from behind the mound, his face anxious.

"Damn it, are these three little thieves so cowardly? They can kill a Peak Rank Four, but they don't even dare to fight an early Fifth Realm?"

"Fight! Fight already!"

Fan Feng was incredibly anxious.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Just go for it, for this City Lord's sake!

He now wished he could rush out, grab Lu Chen, and shove him in front of the giant bear.

However, due to the rules of the demigods secret treasure, he couldn't do that at all. He could only slap his son because of their close relationship.

"It seems I'll have to go find a Peak Rank Four Guardian Beast."

Fan Feng was utterly disappointed.

He was just about to leave quietly.

But just then.

Lu Chen rushed forward.

"Good!"

Fan Feng was ecstatic.

After only two exchanges with the giant bear, Lu Chen 'accidentally' lost two of his bones.

It looked as though he was no match for the Fifth Realm giant bear.

Seeing this, Fan Feng almost jumped out to laugh wildly.

"Beautiful!"

Maybe this early Fifth Realm Secret Realm monster won't even need to resurrect to kill these three little thieves.

Fan Feng was overjoyed.

Finally.

After twenty minutes of 'arduous combat'—during which Lu Chen consistently had several bones knocked out—

Lu Chen still managed to kill the early Fifth Realm giant bear.

Lu Chen picked up the spotless bones that had fallen to the ground and reattached them to his skeleton.

Ning Xiwei and Sun Feifei followed Lu Chen toward a hundred-meter-tall golden-green tree that represented the treasure.

"Now's the time! Resurrect for me!"

Fan Feng remembered very clearly that when he killed the Fifth Realm giant ape last time, it resurrected to ambush him just as he was about to open the treasure.

*Whoosh—*

Ning Xiwei reached out to touch the golden-green giant tree.

The tree trunk rippled like the surface of a lake, then burst with several clusters of golden light, which Lu Chen's trio caught.

"Why hasn't it resurrected yet?"

"Resurrect and ambush these three treasure thieves already!"

Fan Feng was bewildered, staring fixedly at the fallen giant bear.

Lu Chen's trio walked past the giant bear, playing with the glowing golden treasures in their hands.

"Resurrect already, you bastard!"

Fan Feng gritted his teeth, wishing he could go over and slap the giant bear twice to wake it up.

Lu Chen's trio walked away chatting and laughing. They were now hundreds of meters away, their backs only vaguely visible.

The giant bear remained dead on the spot, showing no sign of resurrection.

"Bastard!"

Fan Feng couldn't take it anymore. He jumped out from behind the mound and kicked the giant bear's watermelon-sized snout, breaking it.

"You Secret Realm monsters are all beasts!"

"When fighting us father and son, you strike hard, resurrecting over and over, ambushing us time and again!"

"But when fighting that Ning Xiwei, you're all meek, dying until your bodies are stiff!"

"Stand up already! Resurrect, you bastard!"

Fan Feng felt that as the dignified City Lord of Hanbing City, he was being treated very unfairly.

Even the Secret Realm monsters were discriminating against him!

He possessed incredibly powerful strength.

Yet.

Other than beating his son, he couldn't hurt anyone!

Fan Feng ground his teeth in anger, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a massive bear mouth grinning at him.

He couldn't help but curse:

"Even a corpse like you dares to mock me!"

"Let's see if I don't blast you to pieces!"

Fan Feng was beyond furious and just wanted to vent.

He kicked again at that irritating bear mouth.

He put all his strength into this kick.

He would definitely crush this bear mouth that dared to mock him even in death!

*Boom!*

The kick was so fast it created a sonic boom.

*Thud.*

Fan Feng felt his foot being grabbed.

"Grabbed?"

Fan Feng looked back.

A black bear paw, larger than half his body, was gripping his calf.

The giant bear had resurrected!

"So you *can* resurrect! What the hell is the point of resurrecting now!"

"The enemies who killed you have already run far away!"

"You're infuriating me!"

Fan Feng tried to pull his foot back.

He couldn't budge it!

Then, it dawned on him.

He was now the giant bear's enemy, and his calf was still caught in its paw.

"Oh, shit!"

*Vroom~*

The other bear paw swept across with unparalleled brute force!
