Chapter 874: Brutal Battle!
Seeing Sha Bi's absence, the people by the creek began to feel anxious and fearful.
Weng Bojun would never allow such a morale-draining incident to happen!
We haven't even reached Yuxi Pond, and we're already scared. How can we obtain the Blood Ganoderma like this?
"Damn it, the old man doesn't believe this! What's hiding here, daring to harm my Hundred Knowledge Hall people, is simply courting death!!"
With an angry roar, Weng Bojun decided to go see for himself!
He circulated his inner strength throughout his body, unleashing the sound of the Yangtze River flowing, and without hesitation, he leapt angrily across the creek like a Dapeng spreading its wings!
Seeing him take the initiative to attack, the rest of the Hundred Knowledge Hall's forces naturally swarmed into the mist on the other side.
Even the trembling Gu Ming, not wanting to be left behind and mocked by Jiang Feng and the beauties of the Evil Moon Alliance, gritted his teeth and jumped over.
"Xiao Feng, should we keep waiting here?" The Demoness asked Jiang Feng.
"Let's go over. It's bound to happen sooner or later."
Jiang Feng smiled faintly and flashed over to the other side of the creek.
The beauties followed closely behind.
However, upon reaching the other side, they found nothing hidden within the mist, nor any beasts lurking.
Leading the Hundred Knowledge Hall, the furious Weng Bojun took a hundred steps forward before the thick fog cleared, revealing a giant locust tree ahead.
The tree was several meters high, with lush branches and leaves, blocking out the sky and sun.
The Hundred Knowledge Hall's forces, under Weng Bojun's leadership, arrived unharmed before the giant locust tree.
"Sha Bi!!!"
Suddenly, Weng Bojun's expression turned terrifyingly cold, and he shouted fiercely!
It turned out that several corpses were hanging from the tree.
The bodies were entangled with vines around their necks; the flexible vines had already strangled them!
The deceased were all in a wretched state, their eyeballs protruded from their sockets, blood-red, and their tongues hung out, almost reaching their jaws.
Even more horrifying, the vines wrapped around the bodies were covered with dense, sharp thorns that pierced their throats, causing blood to flow like a stream, drop by drop disappearing into the ground.
These corpses were, of course, the Late Stage Master lackeys sent by the Hundred Knowledge Hall to scout, and Sha Bi at the Peak of Maestro!
They were all indeed dead, strangled by the vines without even a scream.
"Unbelievable!!!"
Weng Bojun looked around, trying to find the culprit who had killed his people, but there was no one around, and he found no trace even after carefully inspecting the dense canopy.
"Weng Bo, what the hell is going on?"
Gu Ming walked uneasily to the front, asking Qian Bojun.
He began to regret coming to this godforsaken place, realizing he shouldn't have been so eager for success!
"I don't know! Could it be that this old locust tree has become possessed?"
Weng Bojun squinted, sizing up the old locust tree, and smirked coldly.
But even as he spoke, he didn't believe it himself.
How could there be any demons or spirits in this world? It's just scaring oneself!
"Jiang Feng, do you know what's going on here?"
Shangguan Wan'er suddenly asked Jiang Feng.
Girls are most afraid of strange events that can't be explained by common sense, especially with how terribly those people died, she couldn't help but speak out.
Jiang Feng said nothing, but his gaze intentionally swept through the surrounding wild grass.
At this moment, another expert from the Hundred Knowledge Hall, who was privately on good terms with Sha Bi, was filled with rage and directly punched the giant locust tree.
This person was also at the Peak of Maestro, with boiling inner strength, he struck out furiously, and the remote fist power landed directly on the tree trunk of the locust tree.
Bang!!!!
Wood shavings flew in the air, and the rough tree trunk was blasted with a huge pit.
At that moment!
Shua shua! Shua shua shua! Shua shua shua!!
The numerous vines attached to the giant locust tree suddenly danced like a group of demons; like long whips, like nooses, they swept toward the Hundred Knowledge Hall's forces, with a piercing sound as if thousands of souls were wailing.
This sudden change took the Hundred Knowledge Hall's people by surprise!
However, they were all elites, battle-hardened, so they weren't completely terrified!
In the critical moment, Weng Bojun let out a great roar, his energy swallowing mountains and rivers, and struck with both palms. The air boiled like hot water, and where the heat wave passed, the sweeping vines snapped with crackling sounds.
The other Grandmasters and Maestro experts of the Hundred Knowledge Hall also dealt with it using their inner strength, while the relatively weaker Master Level fighters all drew their weapons and madly hacked at the vines!
But the vines seemed endless, flowing continuously, and before long, a few vines evaded the Hundred Knowledge Hall's attacks, coiling like a spirited snake, wrapping around several Master Level necks!
The thorns on the vines suddenly pierced their throats, and blood gushed out!
"Ah!!!!"
The screams rang out.
These Master Level fighters let out heart-wrenching screams, shaking violently like sieves, their eyes wide open and spitting blood, tongues out, clearly not long for this world!
"It really is a possessed locust tree!"
Witnessing this scene, even the Demoness went pale, unable to help but believe it!
"What possessed locust tree? There's no such thing as real demons or spirits in this world!"
Jiang Feng sneered disdainfully, "Follow me!"
Saying this, he led the uneasy women of the Evil Moon Alliance straight to the grassy area beside.
With a crouch, he parted the grass.
It turned out, hidden in the grass, was a giant wild ginseng plant!
Initial estimates suggest that this ginseng had been growing for at least several hundred years!
This was the legendary Hundred-year-old Wild Ginseng!
Jiang Feng recalled how, at Old Master Nangong Honghu's birthday banquet, the ill-intentioned Jian Yu had given him a twenty-year pure wild Changbai Mountain Ginseng, which was already extremely rare and precious.
That ginseng was later given by the Old Master to Jiang Feng to absorb and practice with.
But this one here was countless times more precious than that!
It was truly a priceless treasure, something that cannot be sought for!
Then and there, Jiang Feng didn't hesitate and began digging the wild ginseng with his bare hands.
Meanwhile, the Hundred Knowledge Hall's people were fiercely battling the giant locust tree, yet Jiang Feng still had the leisure to dig for ginseng.
At that moment, suddenly the vines on the giant locust tree seemed to be driven by some unknown force, completely ignoring the Hundred Knowledge Hall's forces, and instead, all madly rushed toward Jiang Feng!
Even the vines from some nearby trees, intertwined around their trunks, also crazily whirled toward Jiang Feng's direction!
Layer upon layer, densely packed, like a spider web!
"Battle!!" The Demoness and Kong Guyoulan almost simultaneously shouted sternly!
