This Shark Fin Wolf's mind had already collapsed, and it soon fell into a coma. It could no longer control the pack of ordinary Shark Fin Wolves under its command.
Fang Yuan had no good methods to deal with this, so he could only let the ordinary Shark Fin Wolves flee in all directions.
He didn't feel it was much of a loss either. Capturing the desolate beast Shark Fin Wolf alive was already a substantial gain.
Afterwards, he continued to search the surroundings, but the deep pools he encountered only contained ordinary resources. Although they were abundant in quantity, they were nothing special.
There were definitely many good things in the main stronghold of the Eastern Tribe. However, there were countless deep pools, and Fang Yuan's detection range was not that vast. Coupled with the competition from Demonic Path Gu Immortals in the area, how much he could plunder truly depended on luck.
Before long, his luck returned.
He spotted a deep pool.
The liquid accumulated in this deep pool was not water, but fire.
Flames were blazing fiercely; this was a unique deep pool of fire.
After switching between several detection methods in succession, Fang Yuan discovered that a group of long serpentine beasts lived in this pool.
Fang Yuan identified them as Nether Fire Dragon Pythons.
An adult Nether Fire Dragon Python had an enormous body, at least thirty zhang long, with a girth as thick as a tower.
The scales of a Nether Fire Dragon Python were bright red. It had a single sharp horn on its head and a pair of blood-red eyes. Its forked tongue was a strange purple, and as it flicked in and out, one could see wisps of deep blue flames wrapped around it.
This was a snake nest.
Although no desolate beast-level Nether Fire Dragon Python had been bred here, the number of dragon pythons was extremely high. The pythons were practically piled on top of each other. Their bodies writhed together, looking somewhat hair-raising.
Yet Fang Yuan's heart was pounding with excitement. Every part of a Nether Fire Dragon Python had value. For instance, python blood was the best feed for nurturing certain Blood Path Gu worms. Python hide, python sinew, and so on were excellent materials for refining many Gu worms. The Netherfire Python Gallbladder in particular was extremely precious and had a market even in Treasure Yellow Heaven.
“Nether Fire Dragon Pythons have always lived in small family units. The Eastern Tribe must have used some method to make so many Nether Fire Dragon Pythons live together. This method, though subtle, is quite effective! It greatly aids the reproduction of the Nether Fire Dragon Pythons!”
Fang Yuan noticed this small detail.
Speaking of which, when he was in Wang Ting Blessed Land, he had obtained several Nether Fire Dragon Python eggs. They had already been successfully hatched, and the newborn Nether Fire Dragon Pythons lived in the Hu Immortal Blessed Land, but because their numbers were too small, Fang Yuan had always neglected them.
If he could get a group of Nether Fire Dragon Pythons like this one and raise them in large numbers in Hu Immortal Blessed Land, he could continuously harvest Netherfire Python Gallbladders in the future and sell them in Treasure Yellow Heaven, making a decent small income.
Although Fang Yuan was doing big business with the Courage Gu, he quickly estimated the profits from selling Netherfire Python Gallbladders and found himself slightly tempted.
Action speaks louder than words. Fang Yuan was swift and decisive. He immediately sent out a Giant Strength Path Hand to capture them.
He still couldn't control his strength, and many Nether Fire Dragon Pythons were crushed to death by the Giant Strength Path Hand. After all, this technique emphasized overwhelming force and had significant flaws in precise control.
He grabbed dozens of handfuls, but there were still many Nether Fire Dragon Pythons left in the deep pool, and he gradually grew a little impatient.
He lacked an effective method to collect them, so he could only resort to this brute-force approach. But time was limited now. Fang Yuan grabbed a few more handfuls, reached a total of ten thousand, then decisively stopped and quickly left this deep fire pool.
Afterwards, along his way, he plundered resources and occasionally saw many mortal Gu Masters.
Some of these Gu Masters were panicking and fleeing in the areas between the deep pools, while others were hiding their traces, concealing themselves underground, or beneath piles of rocks.
When Fang Yuan flew away with an overwhelming aura, they all barely escaped with their lives from their state of extreme terror.
Some of the hidden Gu Masters thought they had successfully evaded him, but they had long been discovered by Fang Yuan. It was just that Fang Yuan didn't bother to make a move against them.
Earlier, when Pi Shuihan and the others broke into the blessed land and fiercely battled the first wave of desolate beasts, they had caused a huge commotion. This had already alerted the Eastern Clan in the Bi Tan Blessed Land.
In the Five Regions, most mortals lived their entire lives without ever encountering a Gu Immortal.
Compared to the massive population of mortals, the number of Gu Immortals was extremely scarce, a tiny minority within a minority.
At the same time, Gu Immortals also faced survival pressures. They were busy all day and basically had no time to enjoy a leisurely life.
For most people, Gu Immortals were just a vague, ethereal legend. However, the mortals here in the Bi Tan Blessed Land were the core members of the Eastern Tribe and knew many secrets.
Thus, they understood the gap between immortals and mortals even more, a chasm as vast as the distance between heaven and earth.
They didn't bother with any futile resistance. While scattering to find shelter and escape, they urgently contacted the Gu Immortals of the Eastern Tribe.
It had to be said, this was a very wise move.
Gu Immortals like Fang Yuan, who were of the Demonic Path, cared more about practical benefits and simply couldn't be bothered to harm these mortals. Therefore, many mortals of the Eastern Tribe were luckier than the desolate beasts, surviving the successive waves of slaughter and still remaining alive.
Fang Yuan flew past deep pool after deep pool.
As time passed, he felt increasingly pressured and began to selectively abandon some common resources.
