Chapter 2092 - 1593: Infiltrating Five Dragons' Stockade!

Second update, seeking subscriptions and monthly votes~~~...

This type of insect powder was scattered by Qin Fang along the path they traveled. Any unfortunate souls chasing along this road would fall because of it.

Of course, with the strength of a Law Enforcer Grandmaster, suppressing the toxicity of the insect powder isn't too much of a problem and slowly expelling it from the body wouldn't be too difficult either.

However, with this delay, it was enough for Qin Fang and his father to escape safely...

As for those slightly weaker Grandmaster-level experts who are poisoned by the insect powder, their survival or death would depend on their luck.

If they survive, then they are just luckier; but if they die, then it can only be attributed to their own misfortune...

After all, even if they don't fall under the poisonous effects of the insect powder, they are likely to be slain by that Godslaying Worm, resulting in the same outcome.

"Alright, those people behind us should be shaken off now..."

The insect powder was scattered for about twenty or thirty meters, and most of the followers wouldn't escape from it.

Even if a few do, seeing others fall one after another, they probably wouldn't dare to continue forward... Naturally, they wouldn't pose any further threat.

"Son, where are we going?"

Qin Tiannan, leaning on Qin Fang's back, looked at the surrounding path. Having lived on this island for nearly twenty years, he naturally recognized it and couldn't help but ask.

If he's not mistaken, Qin Fang was carrying him towards the Five Dragons' Stockade... which counts as a forbidden zone of the Five Dragons' Den.

Even he, as a Law Enforcer, is generally not allowed to enter the territory of the Five Dragons' Stockade at will, with violators being killed without mercy!

"Heading to the Five Dragons' Stockade... I have a few friends there preparing to leave Devil's Island with us!"

Qin Fang didn't hide it and said it very directly.

"Five Dragons' Stockade... It's not very safe there!"

Qin Tiannan frowned, expressing his concern.

There are dangers everywhere on Devil's Island, and too many experts. Even as a Great Grandmaster Level expert, he generally wouldn't dare to roam around arbitrarily.

But now, his body was too weak, he couldn't even protect himself, and relying on Qin Fang alone, who only had Master Level Cultivation, it was hard to contend with the experts of the Five Dragons' Stockade.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Qin Fang smiled, unconcerned, but he still put Qin Tiannan down to rest a bit, allowing both of them to recover some elemental energy before moving again!

Qin Tiannan rested for a while, his breath gradually recovering, but his cultivation couldn't fully restore yet.

This, of course, is an unavoidable situation. The Berserk Potion has its drawbacks, compared to the Tiger's Roar Pill Qin Fang was preparing to craft, it was far inferior.

The Berserk Potion indeed boosted Qin Tiannan's strength sharply, but the side effects were also considerable. It's estimated that it would take some time to recover from it.

Even though Qin Fang had given Qin Tiannan a Cultivating Yuan Pill to accelerate the recovery process, it would still take several hours.

Of course, if Qin Fang hadn't unlocked Experience Points exchange, he wouldn't have had the Berserk Potion, then it would've been hard for them to escape from Wu Liang and others.

The Godslaying Worm, while terrifying, wasn't omnipotent; slaughter would certainly occur, but it couldn't help Qin Fang and his father break through...

This is why Qin Fang resorted to using the Berserk Potion in desperation. Such a thing might temporarily boost strength drastically, but the side effects are tremendous.

Qin Tiannan didn't mind these side effects for the sake of his son, but Qin Fang couldn't entirely ignore them, so he immediately used the Cultivating Yuan Pill to mitigate them, hoping his father Qin Tiannan wouldn't suffer too much!

Others don't know the consequences of the Berserk Potion, but Qin Fang had used it before, so he knew it very well. The physical deficit it creates isn't comfortable at all.

"Alright, let's go..."

Qin Tiannan rested for a bit, his strength slightly restored, knowing the forest wasn't safe, especially with so many Law Enforcers chasing from behind, perhaps heading to the Five Dragons' Stockade would be safer.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary choices must be made, and Qin Tiannan clearly wasn't indecisive; he immediately made the decision.

Qin Fang once again carried Qin Tiannan, though Qin Tiannan wanted to walk by himself, he couldn't stop Qin Fang, and the father and son set off once more.

Perhaps this could be considered their first real interaction in twenty years, even without exchanging words, everything was understood without speaking.

"The Five Dragons' Stockade doesn't seem very calm either..."

However, when they stepped into the territory of the Five Dragons' Stockade, they immediately noticed that the previously peaceful stockade now seemed armed for battle, with undercurrents surging.

"It's got nothing to do with us; let's head to the hiding place of my friends first..."

Qin Fang vaguely understood the reason for the agitation at Five Dragons' Stockade, but he didn't say much. Instead, he skirted past the patrolling experts of the Stockade, heading towards the hiding place of Lin Qian and Everard.

"Fang, you're finally back..."

Upon reaching the concealed cave, Everard immediately sprang out, calling out nervously and excitedly. Lin Qian also emerged from hiding.

Of course, not forgetting the lazy and gluttonous Chrysanthemum Pig, which waddled out with a round belly, its tiny eyes darting around while gazing at Qin Fang; the expression seemed like it was buttering up and currying favor... Clearly, this creature was hungry again!

"Are things fine on your end? Did anyone from Five Dragons' Stockade come by?"

Seeing that Lin Qian and Everard were unhurt, Qin Fang felt relieved, but noted their expressions seemed tense and worried.

"No one actually came, but quite a few experts passed by the entrance..."

Everard replied, still shaken.

Perhaps the people of Five Dragons' Stockade assumed it was impossible for enemies to infiltrate right outside their doors, so they didn't search the cave, letting Everard and others avoid calamity.

Besides, the cave was very deep and concealed, with many diverging paths inside. If they really wanted to hide someone, it would be hard to find.

If not for these reasons, Lin Qian wouldn't have recommended this cave for hiding... Because it was extremely safe, yet conspicuous enough for people from Five Dragons' Stockade to overlook, making it perfect for their concealment.

"It's good, it's good..."

Qin Fang nodded in agreement. This cave proved indeed safe, even though it was exceedingly close to Five Dragons' Stockade.

"Fang, what do we do next?"

Upon noticing Qin Fang brought Qin Tiannan back, both Everard and Lin Qian were quite puzzled, as they knew Qin Tiannan.

Lin Qian was part of Five Dragons' Stockade whereas Qin Tiannan was a Law Enforcer on Devil's Island. Though not too familiar, they had met, so recognizing him was natural.

Similarly, Everard, like Qin Fang, was drafted as a trialist elite; Qin Tiannan was one among the grandmaster-level experts responsible for drafting, and since he appeared last, made a deep impression naturally...

Though curious and recognizing him, they didn't dwell much on it.

Now, they were all in the same boat as Qin Fang, and Qin Fang wouldn't do anything to harm them. Otherwise, there'd be no reason for him to save them.

"You guys stay here, and please take care of my father..."

Qin Fang gestured, pointing towards Qin Tiannan resting nearby, as he spoke.

"Your father?"

Both Lin Qian and Everard were slightly taken aback, eying Qin Fang with surprise, and then Qin Tiannan, who appeared somewhat frail, clearly not expecting such a relationship between them.

They assumed Qin Tiannan was also someone Qin Fang rescued, never imagining the relation he shared with Qin Tiannan.

"Yes, he is my father... Due to certain reasons, he ended up on this island for twenty years. I'm planning to rescue him and escape this time!"

Qin Fang didn't conceal the situation, as there was little point in hiding anything from comrades in the same predicament.

"Alright, enough talk, my father's currently weak, I'll have to entrust him to your care, I'll be back soon..."

Qin Fang seemed rather concerned about time; it seemed there's a critical opportunity, and any delay might cost him dearly. He bade farewell to Lin Qian, Qin Tiannan, Everard, and proceeded towards Five Dragons' Stockade.

"Be careful!"

"Son, prioritize safety above all, don't push your luck..."

The ones staying behind showed concern for Qin Fang's safety; the journey was exceedingly perilous, a minor slip-up could be deadly.

"Don't worry, I'm off..."

Qin Fang himself was not overly worried. Despite his lack of direct experience inside, he had memorized the terrain of Five Dragons' Stockade thoroughly.

However, he learned quite a bit about Five Dragons' Stockade from Yang Rui, including some extremely secretive information.

Information that perhaps Lin Qian herself wouldn't know, yet Yang Rui, the beloved son of the Family Head of the Yang Family, knew quite a bit of confidential data; hence he owned the Xuanmu Order?

Due to these secrets, Qin Fang decided to visit the Stockade, hoping to find some benefits there!

Five Dragons' Stockade was the true core of Thousand Gate, and simultaneously remained on Devil's Island. Missing this opportunity meant no similar chance later, so Qin Fang couldn't let it go to waste! (To be continued.
