Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1173 - 1171: You Madman

"No need to worry, I have a sense of measure," Lin Feng said with a faint smile, reassuring Xia Yunfeng with a simple sentence before continuing to move forward. At this point, the children increased their pace even more. Seeing this, Xia Yunfeng, no matter how much more he wanted to say, realized it was no longer effective. He had no choice but to keep up.

Due to fewer Demon Beasts appearing, the group was able to move quickly. However, as they ventured deeper, Xia Yunfeng’s concerns grew. He wanted to stop them but was unable to; all he could do was hurry along anxiously.

Xia Lalan, beside Xia Yunfeng, was smiling the whole time. She wasn’t as worried, confident that with Lin Feng around nothing would go amiss with the children, something she was quite certain of. She understood Xia Yunfeng’s concerns, as he had never witnessed Lin Feng’s indescribably exaggerated strength, so his worry was only natural.

In this way, several two-hour periods had passed, and the number of Demon Beasts gradually decreased until, in the last period, none were to be seen. Just as Xia Yunfeng’s concern reached its peak, something unexpected happened!

An odd region appeared before their eyes; towering mountains stretched straight into the skies, their peaks covered in white snow. The large trees that surrounded them had vanished, replaced by countless wildflowers and disordered weeds on the ground, as soft as market spread. Not far ahead, an even more surprising sight appeared: a waterfall over a hundred zhang high, with water cascading down to produce mist that cast a faint rainbow!

What was even more incredible was the presence of a very large pool beneath the waterfall. The water was a clear green, and several unknown Minor Demon Beasts were drinking and frolicking by the edge, creating a scene of peaceful tranquility! While such sights might be common elsewhere, the emergence of such a place in the depths of the forest, a land rife with Demon Beasts, was utterly bizarre!

"Wow! It’s so beautiful; I can’t believe such a place exists!"

"Yes, it’s indeed beautiful. Can you smell the fragrance of the flowers?"

"I never imagined there would be a place like this deep in the forest; it’s so strange!"

...

The children exclaimed in amazement at the scene before them, none of them anticipating such an occurrence. They thought the place was too beautiful, like a dream, and could hardly believe that such a lovely place existed in the depths of the forest.

"How can there be such a beautiful place?" Xia Lalan was startled by the scene as well, completely captivated by the beauty that unveiled before her eyes. She had lived in the Hidden World since childhood, but she had never seen such beauty. The air was filled with enchanting floral fragrances emitting a peaceful and serene atmosphere, compelling one to relax. Such beauty dazzled her eyes.

This... What is this?

Not just Xia Lalan and the children were stunned, but even Xia Yunfeng was flabbergasted at that moment. He too had not expected to encounter such a place in the depths of the forest and could hardly believe his eyes, thinking it bizarre and utterly astonishing!

The only one who remained unfazed was Lin Feng. Seeing everyone’s astounded expressions, he smiled faintly and said to the children, "You can relax and play freely today."

They had been traveling under pressure for days, and the children were already exhausted. Now that they had arrived here, their journey to the Myriad Immortals Platform would be swift. Lin Feng decided it was a good opportunity for the children to rest and refresh themselves for the upcoming competition.

"Wow! Teacher Lin is awesome!"

"Charge!"

"Great, finally we can take a bath!"

...

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the children went wild with joy, immediately rushing out. They had spent recent days in constant travel and combat with Demon Beasts, and their bodies were weary. Now told they could rest and play as they pleased, how could they not be joyful!

A group of boys rushed towards the pool, whooping and frolicking, while the girls ran towards the flower-laden ground, laughing merrily as they danced among the blossoms. In short, the children were truly elated, so happy they didn’t know what to do with themselves.

Seeing the children’s happiness, Xia Lalan also felt a surge of delight. She darted over to play with the girls, having not had a chance to unwind for some time. With such a scene before her, she couldn’t hold back any longer.

Seeing the children scatter and knowing they would rest for the day, Xia Yunfeng grew anxious. The emergence of such an area in a perilous environment was undoubtedly abnormal. And with Lin Feng allowing the children to rest for a full day, this... how could this be right!

Throughout these days of travel, he hadn’t forgotten the time of the great competition. Now, there was only a day or two left. If they were delayed by another day, there would be no hope left. Moreover, he had a persistent uneasy feeling about the environment here, always sensing danger, and his heart was constantly pounding.

Glancing at Lin Feng who was standing not far away, Xia Yunfeng eventually shook his head helplessly, planning to go and persuade Lin Feng one more time to quickly lead everyone away from this place. Regardless of whether or not they participate in the competition, the safety of the children must be prioritized.

But before he could act, Xia Jianping suddenly rushed to Lin Feng’s side and said, "Teacher Lin, we discovered a tree over there with a fruit emitting golden light on it. What’s strange is we can’t get close to it—whenever we try, we are bounced away. What’s going on here?"

Xia Jianping pointed to a tree by the waterfall in the distance, asking Lin Feng with great curiosity. He was truly baffled; why was that tree inaccessible? Could there be some kind of Array around it?

Lin Feng looked at Xia Jianping and then glanced at the tree again, smiling and saying to Xia Jianping, "No worries, it’s not ripe yet. And even if it were ripe, you wouldn’t be able to eat it. That’s for those two creatures; only they can eat it directly. But you can go further in; the fruits on those trees will be of great help to you."

Lin Feng knew what this forest was all about; it was called Myriad Spirits Immortal Fruit, a genuine treasure of heaven and earth. He had discovered it the last time he was in the Lost Forest but didn’t approach it. Besides, the two Demon Kings were guarding this treasure and he didn’t really want to force them to fight to the death here. Sending the children to eat the fruits from the nearby trees was already enough.

"Ah, those fruits can be eaten and they help us? That’s great, fantastic!" Upon hearing what Lin Feng said, Xia Jianping immediately jumped up with joy. After dropping a remark, he quickly ran off, leading the children to search for other fruits. Since Lin Feng said the fruits would help them, they wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

This tree... this fruit...

It was only then that Xia Yunfeng noticed the tree by the waterfall and especially the fruit that emitted golden light. It felt familiar, as if he had heard about it somewhere, but he couldn’t remember at the moment. One thing he was sure of: this fruit was definitely not ordinary!

Those two creatures? One tree... One fruit...

He started to ponder Lin Feng’s words very seriously in his heart. He was extremely curious about who exactly were the ’two creatures’ Lin Feng mentioned. Just as he began to ponder, a flash of insight burst through his mind, leaving him dumbfounded!

He now realized what the tree was—wasn’t it the Myriad Spirits Immortal Fruit guarded by the two great Demon Kings deep within the Lost Forest? As soon as this struck him, his mind buzzed. The two great Demon Kings had once fought over the Myriad Spirits Immortal Fruit, and now that fruit was right before their eyes, which meant their current location was in the deepest part of the Lost Forest, the territory of the two great Demon Kings!

Disaster loomed!

At this moment, Xia Yunfeng was shaking all over, his forehead covered in cold sweat, filled with utter terror. The two great Demon Kings were on the same level as their Ancestors, and there were two of them. If discovered by the Demon Kings, they wouldn’t even know how they died!

Without time to think further, he dashed towards Lin Feng, roaring, "Why did you bring the children here? This is like sending them to their death! Do you even know where this is? This is the territory of the two great Demon Kings, you madman, you madman!"

He was truly frightened. He could have never imagined that Lin Feng would lead everyone here. If the two great Demon Kings found them, they would not know how they died, and even their Ancestors present here could not save them. Thinking that it was all over, he feared he and the children were destined to meet their end here...

Lin Feng was observing Xia Lalan leading the children to pick the fruits when he was abruptly roared at by Xia Yunfeng; he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xia Yunfeng and let out a light smile, patting Xia Yunfeng on the shoulder and calmly stating, "Elder Yunfeng, if there really was a problem, we wouldn’t have made it this far, so don’t worry."

Xia Yunfeng, who wanted to say more, suddenly became still upon hearing Lin Feng say this, and then he realized—yes, with the strength of the two Demon Kings, if they really wanted to act against them, they would have done so already and wouldn’t have allowed them to reach this place. But... what was going on?

The Demon Kings spared them? Impossible, the Demon Kings wouldn’t show mercy; many powerful beings who coveted the Myriad Spirits Immortal Fruit in the past were all killed!

The Demon Kings didn’t see them? That’s impossible too; the two great Demon Kings were both at the Divine Change Realm and had even reached the threshold of becoming Demon Immortals. They didn’t need eyesight to detect them!

The Demon Kings were not here? That’s even more impossible; the Myriad Spirits Immortal Fruit was the lifeline of the two great Demon Kings. Unless they were dead, they would never leave this place...

...

Xia Yunfeng speculated countless possibilities in his mind, but he dismissed all of them. He was stuck in place, unable to comprehend why the two great Demon Kings would allow them to be here. This... seemed utterly impossible; what on earth was going on...

Seeing Xia Yunfeng standing there in a daze, Lin Feng shook his head and smiled lightly, understanding what Xia Yunfeng was thinking. But at this moment, he didn’t want to explain too much. Just then, Xia Lalan led the children over from a distance, with their hands full of golden fruits.
