Chapter 16: Dragon Tortoise or Ba Xia?

“Quite a few groups!”

Chen Fan’s actions made Qin Mo silently complain.

He hadn’t expected that Chen Fan would be so petty and cautious.

He wouldn’t even let them take a second look.

The others’ eyes were also fixed on Chen Fan, their gazes glinting coldly.

It seemed they wanted to make a move but were hesitant.

Firstly, they were afraid that if they made a move, they’d be surrounded, and they couldn’t be sure if what Chen Fan had found was worth risking their lives over.

“Boom… boom…”

Just as everyone hesitated, Chen Fan had already pulled the object he touched into his storage ring.

Clearly, this was another massive item.

As the massive object was taken, a large pit appeared on the ground, and all the surrounding garbage collapsed into the pit, burying the empty space.

Chen Fan immediately moved away from the spot.

“Good heavens!”

“Could it be another dragon corpse?”

Qin Mo narrowed his eyes, and the others looked down at the now empty ground, their murderous intent rising.

“There can’t be so many dragon corpses.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

“Everyone, I won’t be sharing the rest with you.”

“Good luck!”

Chen Fan cleverly decided to call it a day, contacting his mark and vanishing from the spot.

“Damn it, he got away again!!”

The Westerners were incredibly frustrated and annoyed.

The only two large items in the garbage pile had been taken by a young man from the East.

One item was almost certainly a dragon corpse, and the other, though unknown, seemed to be the corpse of a powerful magical beast based on the lingering aura.

“Qin Mo, who is this person?”

Chu Mu asked curiously.

“I don’t know.”

“But we can probably find out once we’re outside.”

“Let’s wait and see which auction house will have a dragon corpse.”

Qin Mo spoke indifferently.

He could tell at a glance that Chen Fan was not from a powerful family, so he deduced that Chen Fan couldn’t have slain a dragon himself.

The greatest value would likely be in auctioning the corpse.

“As for the last large item, it should be the corpse of some powerful magical beast,”

Qin Mo guessed, sensing the lingering energy from the garbage pit.

“Phew…”

Once back home, Chen Fan couldn’t wait to rush into the bathroom, turn on the hot water, and begin cleaning himself.

The garbage pile treasure hunt this time had been truly foul-smelling.

“Next time, I’ll have to be better prepared.”

“I need to make sure I place tools in the storage ring beforehand…”

Chen Fan thought to himself, not hiding his joy.

This public garbage dump treasure hunt had been a massive success, a complete windfall.

The spoils included a storage ring and spatial bag from the slain enemies, and more…

A dragon corpse, an ice-encased mermaid, a Western Medusa, and a pile of magic cores…

“Let me check out what this final massive item is…”

Chen Fan sighed, letting the clean water pour over him, closing his eyes, and directing his mental power into the storage ring.

The space, 10 meters long, wide, and high, was completely packed.

“This is… a giant tortoise?”

Chen Fan was taken aback.

A massive tortoise shell, engraved with natural formation inscriptions, offering extraordinary defense.

“Wait…”

“This neck… a dragon head?”

Chen Fan quickly realized the giant tortoise didn’t seem quite right.

The tortoise’s neck was unusually long, covered in scales, and more surprisingly, the head was that of a dragon.

Ferocious and imposing, with a pair of dragon horns and sharp fangs…

Overall, it looked incredibly mighty.

“This is… Ba Xia from legends!”

Chen Fan was stunned.

“But how could there be a Ba Xia in the Western fantasy world?”

“Or is it a descendant of a Western dragon and tortoise, a dragon tortoise?”

Chen Fan mental power carefully examined it, analyzing further.

“No, the dragon head looks more like an Eastern dragon’s head…”

Soon, Chen Fan dismissed his guess.

“A Ba Xia from the Western fantasy world…”

“Could it be from that lower-tier magical world?”

“With Medusa and the mermaid…”

Chen Fan thought, associating these beings with those from novels he had read in his previous life.

“I hope Ba Xia is still alive.”

“Or after Medusa wakes up, I can ask her about where it came from…”

Chen Fan could only think this way.

This giant tortoise could very well be Ba Xia.

Chen Fan didn’t want it to be dead already.

However, if it came from that magical world, Ba Xia’s power would likely have been worn down over countless years, nearing the end of its life.

How many points would it take to completely restore it?

After all, Ba Xia was a mythical being, a descendant of true dragons.

Chen Fan withdrew his mental power and continued to wash.

Once the smell had completely faded, Chen Fan stepped out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed and invigorated, and changed into new clothes.

“I need to change houses!”

“My place is too small; the dragon corpse and Ba Xia just won’t fit…”

Chen Fan sighed about his cramped living situation.

He would need a top-tier villa with a grand training hall.
