Chapter 31: Crisis at Every Step
"But Brother Chao, we just give up that ancient martial arts master's cave to him? I'm so unwilling!" Wang Yuan, the weakest, said angrily. Situ Reading
М
The other people also gnashed their teeth.
It was really unwilling. After searching in the Great Black Forest for many days, it ended up being taken advantage of by others.
"It's nothing. Anyway, it's just an ordinary innate martial artist's cave. Besides, with his cultivation, he may not be able to get it smoothly... It's a question whether he can come back alive!"
"You mean? That cave..." Wang Han's eyes lit up.
"Hmph, why don't you take you there? Let's go!" Wang Chao's eyes flashed a fierce look, looking at the direction where Ye Feng disappeared and said coldly.
In his current state, it seems that he can't recover without resting for ten days and a half months. This time, he doesn't have much hope to compete for the quota of Feiyun Sect disciples.
He was actually defeated by a warrior in the middle stage of the blood exchange realm.
I can only say that I am unlucky. I met a pervert here. Alas...
...
"These Wang family members must have come with a purpose. Maybe there is an ancient martial arts cave nearby. I can go and have a look." After flying out of this mountain stream, Ye Feng explored the front of the big black forest.
With the sheepskin ancient scroll map in hand, even if the Wang family members want to harm him, he has a sense of propriety.
Because it has been verified that the route recorded on it is not far away, if it is really too dangerous, Ye Feng can turn around and leave at any time, and since he has come here, he naturally does not want to miss any opportunity to improve his strength.
The deeper you go, the denser the forest becomes. The layers of leaves block the sky, making the entire mountain forest dark and particularly gloomy and terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, nearly two days have passed.
During these two days, Ye Feng also found a lot of spiritual fruits and herbs.
After absorbing several spiritual herbs containing the essence of fire element, Ye Feng discovered that the second martial vein with a tendency to develop began to bloom a slightly red bud.
It seems that the martial veins awakened by Zhao Huo and Zhao Tianle, who were killed by him, are both of fire attribute. Is this the relationship? The Eternal Green Vein devoured their vitality, and only after absorbing enough fire essence can it give birth to a martial vein with the same attribute?
Then, if we continue to absorb enough fire essence, can the second martial vein be completely formed?
This discovery made Ye Feng very happy.
While the second martial vein was gradually developing, Ye Feng's cultivation was also improved. In just two days, he had stepped into the perfect stage of blood exchange in one fell swoop, and was only one step away from impacting "qi transformation".
If he were to fight Wang Chao again at this moment, Ye Feng was confident that he could defeat him more easily than before.
A huge swamp appeared in front of him. There were either muddy pools with gray bubbles or strange trees. The leaves made the surrounding environment dark. The sight could only see a range of about dozens of meters, but some strange sounds could be heard in the ears.
"It seems that the direction recorded in the sheepskin scroll is roughly around here."
After jumping onto an ancient tree and looking around, Ye Feng clenched his fists. His slightly immature face was full of confidence, and his eyes showed a resolute light.
"As long as I can find the cave of Senior Gu Wu, I believe I can enter the fifth level of Qi transformation in one fell swoop. In this way, this time entering the Great Black Forest for training can be regarded as a preliminary completion of the goal. Maybe it is really possible to enter the top five of the county in more than ten days and get the opportunity to enter the Feiyun Sect."
The swamp is obviously more dangerous than the forest.
But since he has come here, how could Ye Feng choose to retreat easily?
After a quick look, he kicked his feet and jumped several meters with the help of the elasticity of the tree trunk, and the figure landed on the second tree. Just jumping forward all the way, soon, he has entered the interior of the swamp.
"Hey, the Eternal Green Vein senses a strong spirituality."
Looking around, Ye Feng's eyes were fixed on a dozen feet away.
There was a gray-brown lump of soil, in the middle of which stood a spiritual grass covered with silver scales, with a hint of golden light on the top, emitting fine hairs.
"At least it's a yellow-grade upper-grade spiritual grass, and it's growing like this?" Ye Feng was a little surprised.
The higher the grade of the spiritual grass, the more attractive it is to the monster beasts. It usually grows on cliffs or in places guarded by other monster beasts, but this spiritual grass emitting golden light just grows in the quiet swamp, which makes Ye Feng a little puzzled.
There was silence all around, and there was nothing unusual, but Ye Feng did not dare to be careless. After observing carefully for a while, his figure had already jumped to a big tree closest to the spiritual grass. With a wave of his hand, the spiritual grass broke out of the soil and flew over.
However, just when he was about to succeed, the lump of earth suddenly moved, and two holes opened on both sides, and a cold light locked onto him.
It was not a lump of earth at all, but a crocodile-shaped monster lying quietly in the swamp.
So cunning.
Fortunately, he did not let down his guard, and Ye Feng smiled coldly.
Crash!
The monster rolled out of the mud, its huge body several meters long with a unique stench of the swamp, and pounced on Ye Feng. While its body was still in the air, its big mouth full of fangs opened to an extremely large size, and its steel teeth like starlight were enough to bite hard rocks.
Ye Feng flew up a big tree beside him, and without panic, he pulled out a short iron stick and hit the top of the crocodile monster.
Clang!
The huge force of thousands of pounds combined with the heavy iron stick only shook the crocodile monster back, without even a trace of blood.
"What a strong defense, forget it, let's not entangle with it, let's go find that ancient martial arts cave first."
Ye Feng's clothes rustled, and he jumped onto another big tree with the huge recoil force. After a few ups and downs, he left the crocodile monster waiting behind him, and soon, the distance between the two was pulled apart.
The angry roar of the monster came from behind.
Ye Feng sneered. After absorbing the silver-scaled spiritual herb, he felt that his skin became much softer. With a little effort, it became as hard as iron, like steel balls, as if it had grown hard scales.
It seems that the function of this spiritual herb is to increase the body's protection.
Good stuff.
In the Yuanwu Continent, defensive things are always more valuable than offensive things. After all, at any time, saving your life is the most important thing.
He continued to move forward.
Not far ahead, danger appeared again.
This time, from a big tree rooted at the edge of the swamp, a terrifying bird shaped like a snake but with a pair of wings flew over. The strange bird made a hissing sound, found Ye Feng, and shot directly at him.
"Barbarian Bull, get down!"
He found the right opportunity and swung a stick. The snake-shaped bird was immediately swung away, bleeding from the corners of its mouth, its wings broken, and fell into the swamp. Smelling the blood, countless insects suddenly emerged from the swamp soil and devoured the bird in an instant, leaving no bones behind.
"Fortunately, this bird is just an ordinary low-grade monster. If it was as strong as the crocodile monster just now, it would be inconvenient to move here and it would be very troublesome if it couldn't stay down!"
Witnessing this situation below, Ye Feng was very grateful.
