Chapter 875: Into the Tiger's Den
Facing the vines that seemed to chase souls and demand lives, the beauties of the Demon Moon Alliance were somewhat fearful and trembling.
Yet, not a single one of them retreated, and they all took out their weapons carried with them, ready to fight to the death!
At this moment, Jiang Feng, who had just dug up the hundred-year-old Wild Ginseng, stood up indifferently, disdainfully glanced at the chaotic dancing vines.
He remained unchanged in expression, and with a slight operation of the Devouring Sky Demon Technique, released a trace of Demon Power.
Suddenly, it was as if an atomic bomb had exploded!
That overwhelming aura instantly made the approaching vines break and fall apart, with none able to get close!
Seeing Jiang Feng effortlessly level everything, remaining unmoved by the eight winds, the beauties of the Demon Moon Alliance, who had been startled, were stunned!
Then, their hearts couldn't help but be filled with excitement, being infatuated with and almost worshipping Jiang Feng.
Meanwhile, the entourage from Hundred Knowledge Hall also took notice.
At this time, led by Weng Bojun, they had completely blown the big locust tree to pieces!
The ground was piled with vine fragments, like dead snakes.
Some vines were still gently writhing and twitching, but clearly could no longer harm anyone.
However, this wave had also cost the Hundred Knowledge Hall dearly—more than a dozen Late Stage Master and Master Peak personnel lay dead on the ground, strangled by vines, their eyes unable to close in death!
"Since you have a way to deal with these vines, why didn't you act earlier? Our Hundred Knowledge Hall suffered heavy losses!"
Weng Bojun glared angrily at Jiang Feng!
Nearby, Gu Ming, barely holding on to life, was also furious, glaring fixedly at Jiang Feng.
It's no wonder they felt aggrieved. They had agreed that no one would suffer, yet before even reaching Yuxi Pond, many had died, and they feared they couldn't explain it to Gu Yuansheng.
Jiang Feng sneered, "Do I owe you anything? Are you out of your minds?"
Weng Bojun was immediately stifled, unable to speak from being choked.
"Uncle Weng, why not strike now! Since it's already like this, let's dismember him first!!"
Gu Ming couldn't hold back any longer, biting his teeth to Weng Bojun.
"No! This guy has some insight; he might still be useful, we can't kill him now!" Weng Bojun immediately rejected.
Gu Ming trembled with anger but was helpless, spitting heavily and walking ahead to avoid seeing him.
Meanwhile, the Demoness, Kong Guyoulan, Shangguan Wan'er, Chun Zhiyao, and the other women gathered around Jiang Feng, curiously looking at the Wild Ginseng in his hand.
"Xiao Feng, what's so strange about this Wild Ginseng, why did the vines attack you when you dug it up?" the Demoness asked.
"It's simple, there's nothing wrong with that big locust tree, and nothing wrong with the trees here, what's wrong is this Wild Ginseng."
Jiang Feng calmly stated, "Ginseng is the most spiritual among plants. Throughout history, there has been a saying that 'a hundred-year-old ginseng must become a spirit.' "
"Of course, this is an exaggerated saying, but it does not rule out that this thing, after absorbing too much essence of the sun and moon, has some extraordinary powers."
"So, you can understand it as interfering with those vines, causing them to kill inexplicably and absorb their blood as nourishment."
"I see!"
The women of the Demoness realized, indeed the world is full of wonders, following Jiang Feng out really opened their eyes.
"Damn it! So that's what's going on!"
At this point, the people from Hundred Knowledge Hall also heard Jiang Feng's explanation, filled with both hatred and irritation.
Again, the question remained, since Jiang Feng had already seen through everything, why didn't he act earlier?
Clearly intentional!
Intentionally watching their brothers die a terrible death!!!
"Elder Weng, this guy is too detestable! And that Wild Ginseng, it killed our many brothers and clearly should belong to us, how dare he keep it for himself, why don't we... kill him and take the Ginseng?"
A Middle Stage Grandmaster expert whispered to Weng Bojun.
"I'm still saying, he still has value to us, let's wait and see once we reach Yuxi Pond!"
Weng Bojun looked fiercely at Jiang Feng, then led the majority, continuing to move forward.
Jiang Feng put away the Wild Ginseng, also nonchalantly leading the Demoness and others, walking up slowly.
This outing, just obtaining this Wild Ginseng alone made it worthwhile, returning to refine it will again absorb a large wave of Demonic Qi.
…
Next, the group advanced toward the deepest part of Yuxi Ridge.
Because of the previous incident, everyone was particularly cautious along the way, afraid of falling into another trap by accident.
However, encountering one hundred-year-old Wild Ginseng was already rare beyond measure, no chance of a second one.
So the journey ahead was relatively uneventful.
By dusk, the whole of Yuxi Ridge dimmed, the further they went, the colder it became.
Eventually, the temperature nearly dropped to freezing, extremely chilling.
The poor beauties of the Demon Moon Alliance were all wearing summer shorts and vests, their bodies thin, naturally freezing terribly.
Fortunately, their abilities weren't weak, forcibly operating their Inner Strength to maintain body temperature, barely holding on.
The Hundred Knowledge Hall team, with stronger abilities, was needless to say.
As they walked, layers of even colder winds surrounded the front, these cold winds seemed corporeal, numbing the scalp when blown on humans.
Some young female assassins of the Demon Moon Alliance shivered with their snow-white thighs trembling, on the verge of collapse.
Just then, the sound of rushing water came from ahead.
Looking again, all vegetation had disappeared, a bare patch, indeed not a blade of grass growing.
"Xiao Feng, Yuxi Pond is here! It should be Yuxi Pond up ahead! The temperature here is so low, no wonder the innkeeper said it's bone-chilling cold!" The Demoness, though better off, was also barely holding on.
Jiang Feng nodded, smiled, "You can't get a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den, hang in there a little longer, the effort and reward will be proportional."
With that, he took the lead, heading toward the windy and chilly Yuxi Pond!
