Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1627 - 1610: Peril Upon Peril (Boom Boom Boom)

Song Wuya’s words were straightforward. Only then did these people realize that when they were about to enter the new world earlier, Song Wuya indeed warned them about the dangers inside, and that no one should act recklessly. However, Song Hai got into trouble because of his own selfish desires, so they couldn’t refute it now.

Seeing these people remain silent, Song Wuya said nothing more and headed toward Xia Yuntian. He had already said what needed to be said, and if anyone disobeyed again and caused trouble, he would truly lose his temper.

After this incident, the elites of the Xia Family and Song Family were no longer so careless about this new world. They became wary and dared not ignore the Family Head’s words, obediently following the team forward.

It must be said that with Lin Feng’s guidance, they did not take any detours. Except for Song Hai’s incident, they traveled smoothly without encountering any other issues. Lin Feng had already used his Divine Sense to warn off many hidden Demon Beasts; otherwise, the journey would not have been so smooth for the Song and Xia families.

On the other hand, Lin Feng led the group away from the riverside and walked for more than twenty miles alongside the river, finally encountering a natural stone bridge. Rather than a bridge, it was more like a giant rock over the river. The rock was over ten feet high and more than ten feet wide, looking like a gigantic tortoise shell. Beneath the rock, natural stone caves had formed, allowing the river to continue flowing through them.

"Cross over the stone bridge carefully, walk in the middle and there will be no problem," Lin Feng said casually, then immediately stepped onto the giant rock and safely reached the opposite side of the river under the gaze of everyone.

With Lin Feng setting an example, everyone naturally knew what to do. However, after witnessing those terrifying Soul Devouring Spirit Fish, each of them was extremely cautious. On the ten-foot-wide rock, they lined up in a row, crossing one by one, taking nearly an hour, until everyone had crossed the river without incident.

Once they reached the other side, they followed Lin Feng less than three miles forward and suddenly saw a vast open area, leaving everyone stunned.

How is this possible!

So many Spiritual Medicines...

My God, Heartless Grass, Heaven Origin Grass...

...

Everyone was going crazy at the sight of the Spirit Grass before them. Countless famous Spiritual Medicines were scattered around the area. The open area was two to three miles wide, indicating the vast number of such Spiritual Medicines present. At this thought, they could hardly control themselves, wanting to rush over to gather the Spirit Grass.

But just as they were about to move, Lin Feng suddenly spoke again.

"Stay where you are."

After leaving these words, Lin Feng stepped forward, and only then did everyone realize how dangerous this place was. Without Lin Feng’s warning earlier, they might have all been eaten by Soul Devouring Spirit Fish. Recalling the previous events, they quickly calmed down and focused their attention on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng soon reached the edge of the field growing Spirit Grass, and seeing that Lin Feng wasn’t acting fearfully, they couldn’t understand his intent. But just as they were thinking about these things, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, a lot of small red dots emerged from the ground, instantly morphing into what looked like blood-colored quicksand, surging toward Lin Feng. Everyone was shocked to their core, wondering what kind of terrifying place this was, with deadly traps hidden everywhere. If Lin Feng were not paving the way, they would likely be engulfed by the red quicksand soon. They were very curious about what these red quicksand actually were.

"Ant... Ants!"

"Red ants?"

"My God, what kind of ants are these!"

...

Everyone quickly realized that the red quicksand was not real sand, but a very peculiar type of ant, about the size of a grain of rice. However, these special ants had very large pincers, looking as strange as can be.

But to their relief, these red ants did not extend toward them, which made them breathe a sigh of relief. As for Lin Feng’s safety, they were not worried at all. If Lin Feng wasn’t confident, he wouldn’t have gone ahead alone.

Indeed, just as everyone was thinking this, Lin Feng was completely surrounded by the red ant sea, which made everyone worry about Lin Feng’s safety, fearing that he might be in danger. That’s when the unexpected happened.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a blood-red flame appeared on Lin Feng, instantly enveloping all the red ants covering him. At almost the same time, all those ants exploded, leaving a very peculiar smell in the air. Everyone was stunned, wondering if this Innate True Fire could actually kill those terrifying ants?

As they were all thinking this, Lin Feng’s Innate True Fire had covered all the red ants on the ground, slaughtering countless red ants as they appeared. After Lin Feng killed the last of the red ants, a smile appeared on his face. With a single wave of his hand, many silver-white particles suddenly appeared on the ground. In the eyes of everyone, these silver-white particles coalesced in Lin Feng’s hand, forming a silver-white bead about the size of a fist in an instant.

Looking at the bead in his hand, Lin Feng was filled with emotion. He hadn’t expected to encounter the Gold Devouring Ants here, a species that had been extinct since the Ancient Era. Moreover, after defeating these red ants, he had unexpectedly obtained such a large piece of silver-white metal. This was no ordinary metal; it was quite famous in the Cultivation World, known as Cloud Gold, an essential material for Artifact Refiners. He never thought he could acquire such a precious treasure here.

Everyone else looked at Lin Feng, still in a daze from yesterday. Lin Feng shook his head and casually tossed the Cloud Gold into his Space Ring, then said to the crowd, "What are you standing around for? There’s no danger now. Hurry up and collect the herbs."

"Wow, it’s safe now!"

"So many spiritual medicines, so many spiritual medicines!"

"I can’t take it anymore, I’m going crazy."

...

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, the group, who had been anxiously on edge, finally realized the danger had passed. They could no longer contain themselves and rushed towards the area like a swarm, spreading out to pick the spiritual medicines.

Lin Feng, meanwhile, stood still, pondering a question. Why did this new world feature many creatures from the Ancient Era? This perplexed him greatly...

...

On the other side, the Gu Family had also entered this place. Relying on memory, Gu Nanshan started to head towards the assigned area discussed at the earlier meeting. However, they had barely covered a distance of two miles when a Demon Beast blocked their path.

This Demon Beast emitted a silver-white metallic sheen all over its body, covered with metallic spikes, resembling a porcupine from the Secular World, but this creature was enormous, reaching over twenty feet in length. Upon seeing the Gu Family, it charged at them with incredible speed, transforming into a ball of metallic spikes before it even got close, rolling towards them.

"Heavens!"

"What is that thing!"

"Quick, dodge, dodge!"

...

Confronted with this sudden development, the Gu Family’s elite disciples were bewildered. This Demon Beast was entirely different from any they had encountered; it seemed entirely metallic. How could it be slain? With no other choice, they swiftly dodged to avoid being pierced by the terrifying, oversized metallic spiked ball.

"Don’t panic, attack from a distance with Gang Qi!" Faced with the situation, Gu Nanshan was momentarily stunned, but he quickly ordered the Gu Family elites to use Gang Qi for a ranged attack. There was no way to withstand such a bizarre beast with direct confrontation; only a ranged assault could potentially kill it.

Upon receiving the Family Head’s command, the Gu Family elites reacted quickly. They followed Gu Nanshan’s orders and launched Gang Qi attacks against the terrifying metallic spiked ball. In an instant, Fist Aura and Sword Gang rained down on the monstrous metal orb.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

Deafening sounds echoed as all the attacks accurately struck the metallic spiked ball. However, to their astonishment, their attacks had no effect on the Demon Beast, not even breaking off a single spike. Confronted with this, the Gu Family members were bewildered. If even these attacks were futile, how could they possibly deal with this beast?

Gu Nanshan had not anticipated this outcome, and he too was at a loss. Though the metallic spiked ball moved slowly, they couldn’t keep being chased by the Demon Beast. Left with no alternative, he sought the advice of the elder, Gu Xiong, beside him.

"Elder, how do we deal with this Demon Beast?" Gu Nanshan asked anxiously, looking at Gu Xiong. He was truly apprehensive now; this Demon Beast was certainly no ordinary creature. Without identifying a weakness, there was no way to kill it. The defensive power was frightening, able to shrug off their attacks entirely—this wasn’t any Demon Beast, more like a killer metallic spiked ball.

"Why are you panicking? Give orders. Dig a massive pit and bury the Demon Beast. Once it loses mobility, we’ll handle everything else." Not only was Gu Nanshan troubled by the peculiar Demon Beast, but Gu Xiong hadn’t expected to encounter such a creature either. Nonetheless, he had more experience; no Demon Beast was invincible. If direct assaults were ineffective, they just needed to try another method.

Gu Nanshan was momentarily stunned to hear Gu Xiong’s suggestion, thinking it was truly ingenious. He immediately instructed the Gu Family elites: "Quickly dig a massive pit, then drive the Demon Beast into it."

Upon hearing Gu Nanshan’s instructions, the Gu Family members immediately understood what to do. They shifted their focus from the Demon Beast to a nearby open area, everyone acting in unison.
