Logan Webb was instantly terrified, his face full of fear. He was only at the peak of the second level of Qi Refining, just a bit stronger than Samuel Webb, and was no match for Mark Sutton at all.

"Mark Sutton, don't kill me... don't kill me!"

"Give me a reason not to kill you."

"A reason... a reason..." Logan Webb was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Suddenly, something came to mind, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Right, I have a treasure map. With this treasure map, you can find a treasure."

"A treasure map? What treasure map? Take it out and let me see." Mark Sutton asked.

"As long as you promise not to kill me, I'll give you the treasure map right away." Logan Webb wasn't stupid; he wanted Mark Sutton to give him a promise first.

Mark Sutton sneered disdainfully. Who was he? How could he not see through Logan Webb's little trick?

"Not giving it, huh? Then I'll just kill you first and search your body for the treasure map."

"I'll give it... I'll give it!"

Logan Webb's expression changed, and he hurriedly took out a piece of beast hide, only the size of a palm, from his chest and handed it to Mark Sutton.

Mark Sutton picked it up and looked. It was indeed a map, very ancient, clearly quite old.

According to the map, the location of the treasure was right in the Youfeng Mountain Range.

"Um... Mark Sutton, I've already given you the treasure map. Can I go now?" Logan Webb asked nervously.

Seeing that Mark Sutton didn't respond, Logan Webb carefully walked toward the exit and soon approached the cave entrance.

Glancing back at Mark Sutton, a trace of viciousness flashed in Logan Webb's eyes. He was secretly plotting to gather people to ambush Mark Sutton outside the mountains after he left.

Boom!

At that moment, Mark Sutton leapt up and punched.

Logan Webb was killed on the spot.

"When it comes to enemies, I will never show mercy!"

Mark Sutton said calmly. In his previous life, he had killed countless people; in this life, this was his first.

Then, Mark Sutton walked over to the unconscious Samuel Webb and finished him off with another punch.

Samuel Webb, still unconscious, died completely.

After that, Mark Sutton took the map and prepared to search for the treasure.

"Right!"

Mark Sutton suddenly stopped, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "Since my Martial Spirit can devour beast spirits, I wonder if it can devour other people's Martial Spirits?"

Thinking of this, Mark Sutton walked over to the corpses of Logan Webb and the others and released his Devouring Martial Spirit.

The three-ringed Devouring Martial Spirit was like a bottomless black hole, spinning at twice the speed it had at the first human level, emitting a powerful suction force.

Logan Webb and the other had just died, and all their blood energy and undissipated Martial Spirits were instantly sucked out.

Samuel Webb's Martial Spirit was a small green tree, flickering with two yellow rings, a second-level human Martial Spirit.

Logan Webb's Martial Spirit was a bird, with three rings, clearly a third-level human Martial Spirit.

The two Martial Spirits were quickly devoured. Mark Sutton only felt his own Martial Spirit tremble, and the original three rings became even brighter.

However, the Devouring Martial Spirit did not advance and was still only at the third human level.

"Heh! I was right! Whether it's beast spirits or Martial Spirits, they can all be devoured."

Mark Sutton was overjoyed, once again amazed by the Devouring Martial Spirit.

This Devouring Martial Spirit was truly heaven-defying!

Not only could it advance, but it could also devour other people's Martial Spirits!

If he released his Martial Spirit in battle, wouldn't his opponent be unable to control their own Martial Spirit and have it devoured by him?

"Alright, time to look for the treasure!"

After the surprise, Mark Sutton left the cave.

Chapter 7 Storage Ring

In the mountains.

Mark Sutton held the map and, following its guidance, weaved through the dense forest.

He suppressed his aura to the utmost, moving forward with extreme caution.

Where he was now, he had already penetrated more than fifty li into the Youfeng Mountain Range. The beasts nearby were all fourth-level first-rank monsters, and even fifth-level first-rank monsters.

With his current strength, he might not even be able to defeat a fourth-level first-rank monster, let alone a fifth-level one.

So, he was extremely careful along the way.

Finally, after advancing for another half an hour, Mark Sutton arrived safely at a messy valley.

This valley was surrounded on three sides by cliffs a hundred zhang high, with only one entrance.

The valley was full of thorns and overgrown with shrubs, a desolate sight.

Mark Sutton was highly alert, constantly on guard against his surroundings. If any danger appeared, he would escape immediately.

The treasure was important, but without his life, everything was meaningless.

Mark Sutton looked at the map in his hand. The place marked on the map was exactly this valley.

Mark Sutton carefully observed his surroundings. Soon, he discovered a large crack in a rock wall.

It was a horizontal crack, ten zhang long, like the gaping maw of a giant beast, unfathomably deep.

The mouth of the crack was overgrown with weeds. Without careful observation, it would be impossible to find.

Standing at the entrance of the crack, Mark Sutton frowned deeply.

This crack was not like the previous small cave. Inside, it was dark, cold, and unfathomably deep. Who knew what dangers lurked within?

After hesitating for a while, Mark Sutton gritted his teeth and stepped into the crack.
