Perfect World: Devil Slayer

Chapter 43 Stone Forest
On the other side, the original Ling Feng and the witch traveled millions of miles to the extreme east of the wilderness. Because this place is close to the boundary wall, it is relatively desolate and there are not many living creatures.

There is also a terrifying high temperature coming from underground, which makes this place deserted and even plants are quite scarce. There are stone forests and deserts for tens of thousands of miles around.

"Legend has it that a great war took place here in ancient times, and the hot blood of the strongest was spilled here. Even after so long, the temperature here is still as high as a hot furnace!" The witch explained. She had already investigated this place a long time ago.

Although the lower world is barren, it was not so in ancient times. The level of essence and energy was far higher than it is now, and beings like gods were born there. However, it is unknown why these powerful beings disappeared later, causing the concentration of essence and energy to decrease, making it difficult to even ignite the divine fire.

Ling Feng knew a little about this. Those local gods were sent to guard a certain passage, which seemed to be related to the fairyland and entered a remnant world.

As for the great reduction of spiritual energy in the lower realm, this is related to the first spiritual root. There is an elixir of immortality hidden near the Medicine City, which requires a huge amount of spiritual energy to nourish. How can it not lead to impoverishment in the lower realm?

Just one magical medicine is enough to absorb the essence of a million-mile wilderness. One can imagine what kind of essence and energy is needed to nourish a elixir of immortality in the lower world, and it is also the first spiritual root.

"How did you find this place?" Ling Feng asked at this time, because he found that this was the place pointed by the golden paper.

His cave was hidden in the void, and he placed the piece of gold paper in the middle. On the way, he kept looking for the place recorded on it, and surprisingly, it was the same direction as the place the witch went.

"I can sense the existence of a secret realm here because when I passed through the boundary wall, a treasure on my body reacted!"

The two explained as the witch was flying. She had rosy lips, a high nose bridge, fair skin and beautiful looks. Her nine snow-white furry fox tails swayed in the air, making people fantasize and want to touch them.

After walking for a while in the desolate stone forest, the two arrived at a valley surrounded by several towering stone mountains.

"This is the place. If you want to enter, you can only go in through this entrance. There are powerful magic arrays in other places!" The witch said, pointing her jade hand at the gap between two stone mountains.

The entrance was not very big, and could only accommodate three or four people in a row. It was also closed at the top and bottom, as if it was formed naturally. It was very secretive. If anyone saw it, no one would have thought that there was a mystery inside.

Even Ling Feng who was standing at the entrance did not feel anything unusual, and he did not find anything with the prototype of the Heavenly Eye. It was obvious that there was a concealing magic array set up on the surface here, which was also useful for the Heavenly Eye of Martial Arts that could detect the origin in detail.

The witch beside him was also amazed when she saw this, and thought to herself: "This guy has cultivated the rudiments of the martial arts eye. It must be right to find him this time."

She had sent some people here before, but none of them met the requirements. There was a killing array inside, and those who could not reach the ultimate level would die if they entered. If they accidentally touched the rune array inside, they would also be strangled to ashes.

As the two entered, Ling Feng asked them to enter side by side in order to prevent the witch from tricking him.

"You are really cautious!" The witch gave her a coquettish look but did not object.

"Haha!" Ling Feng snorted coldly. How could you not be careful when dealing with a vixen, especially a nine-tailed fox like you who has eight hundred minds.

Just after taking a dozen steps, Ling Feng found that there was gravity acting on his body. The gravity was very strong. People whose bodies did not reach the extreme state would be crushed into meat paste.

"Qiang Qiang..."

At the same time, there were wind blades like knives and swords hitting them, making metallic knocking sounds with their flesh. It can be said that if one wants to pass through this passage, anyone with a little flaw in their flesh cannot pass through. This passage is hundreds of feet long, and mysterious runes are engraved on the edge of the road, which look a bit like ancient characters. However, Ling Feng and the witch dare not touch these runes, as it is very dangerous. If they are not careful, they will turn into ash.

It took them half an hour to pass through the narrow passage, covering a distance of just a few hundred feet. Beads of sweat dripped from their foreheads as they passed through.

"What a grand project! There are actually hundreds of formations set up here, forming a world of its own. What kind of treasure was there that is worth guarding like this!" the witch said in surprise, her mouth slightly opened.

This area is so huge that you can't see the end at a glance. It is countless times larger than the valleys seen in the outside world. It is even larger than the tens of thousands of miles of barren rock forests in the outside world.

Ling Feng's eyes were shining with golden light as he carefully observed the entire deep underground ancient cave. This place was probably filled with aura, and if an ordinary person forced his way in, he would surely die without a burial place.

"Next, you point out the weak points of the formation, and I will use magic weapons to clear the way!" The witch also put away her smile. This place is not simple. If you want to enter, you must break the formation.

For this purpose, she also took out a stone bead. It looked gray and covered with dust. It was just an ordinary bead, but in fact it had returned to its original state after years of baptism. Once its power was revealed, it could kill gods and was extremely terrifying.

Ling Feng did not say much, but watched the operation of the formation carefully, found the weak point at the center of the formation, and asked the witch to break it with magic weapon.

"boom!"

The dazzling divine light emitted by the divine bead in the witch's hand has a powerful force that can directly destroy the engraved runes, or suppress the center of the formation, making the formation temporarily ineffective.

This bead lived up to its name as the God-Suppressing Bead. It had the power to suppress everything and it broke five formations in succession. However, each use consumed a lot of its own energy. The witch's body gradually began to become weak and there were signs that it was about to dissipate.

"No, if this goes on my spiritual body will dissipate, and it's up to you to control the stone beads to break the formation," the witch said at this time. Her pale and beautiful face looked a little weak, but it still couldn't hide her beauty. Instead, it made people want to pity her.

"can!"

Ling Feng was also very interested in what the formation was guarding. He took over the God-Suppressing Pearl and controlled the formation to break it, but he found that although the stone pearl was very powerful, it consumed a huge amount of divine power every time it was used. Most people could not afford such consumption.

However, Ling Feng is not a spirit body but a real body. He possesses enough divine power and can replenish it at any time. But he cannot withstand the large number of formations here. After breaking more than thirty formations, he still cannot see the end and the treasure, and his own divine power is also over-consumed.

"Are you sure there are treasures in this place? We haven't seen even a single one in such a long time!" asked Ling Feng who was recovering in the safe zone.

It was quiet and dark here, without any signs of life, only murderous intent and danger. If they took a wrong step and failed to break the formation, they would be dead.

"Hehe... I don't know either. If I hadn't seen you coming to the underworld, I wouldn't have risked coming here!" The witch's eyes were full of cunning, and she smiled. At this point, she no longer needed to hide it.

Ling Feng then realized that he was just a laborer for her. He was just a spirit and could not travel far in this place, so he became the pioneer.
