Perfect World: Devil Slayer

Chapter 7 Crisis
The ancient battlefield was huge and shrouded in mist. In such an environment, some strange creatures would always be born, and the ape demon was one of them.

As the ape demon was lured away, Ling Feng quickly entered the ape demon's lair.

"Time is limited. Those three puppets can't delay for long. We must pick the Blood Soul Grass quickly."

At the bottom of the cliff, Ling Feng saw a total of more than 120 blood soul grasses, each of which was one foot tall, flashing with a scarlet light and having a strong grass fragrance, like a red gem, bright and dazzling.

Blood Soul Grass is a rare product of the Blood Plains and is extremely precious in the outside world. It can be boiled together with a variety of spiritual medicines and taken as its essence to nourish the soul. There are so many of them here at once, and they can be sold at a high price in the outside world.

However, Ling Feng eats it himself, not to sell it.

When he reached the bottom of the cliff, he used the Qiankun bag to suck the area where the blood soul grass grew, and took the entire red land into it. After doing all this, Ling Feng fled quickly, and it took less than five minutes.

The blood runes on the three puppet beasts he controlled had been broken, which meant that the ape demon had dealt with them and would return soon.

Ling Feng, who was far away from the area, was in a relatively safe place. He began to try to use his magic power to directly devour the Blood Soul Grass to see if he could obtain its medicinal properties in this way.

"swallow!"

With his hands forming seals, a strange black hole appeared in front of Ling Feng. A dozen blood soul grasses turned into essence and were sucked into the black hole.

"No, it's useless. Not only is the efficiency of swallowing it this way low, but the medicinal properties are basically negligible. It will only turn into the most basic essence. It seems that it can only be taken orally!"

This unknown magic skill is not complete and has defects in devouring. In addition to devouring living beings, the rest will only turn into essence. At present, this magic skill is only used by Ling Feng to speed up his practice and accumulate murderous energy to cultivate into a domain.

Ling Feng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, stopped swallowing the Blood Soul Grass and instead took it orally.

Soon, a red light emanated from his body, and a strange mysterious power flowed through his body, making him seem like he was about to ignite.

One, two, three... After taking sixteen strains, Ling Feng didn't dare to take them continuously. His body began to feel abnormal. The strange secret power on his body seemed to tear him apart. He felt very uncomfortable.

Moreover, this mysterious force entered from the outside to the inside, and his flesh, blood, and bones were all penetrated, and his body seemed to explode.

"I can't go on like this. My body isn't as strong as a baby's. If I eat this, I'm afraid my body will explode and die. I must find a place where I can take the Blood Soul Grass and recover my body at the same time!"

Ling Feng thought of the Divine Lotus Pond for Crossing Tribulations in his Tianxian Academy. The immortal pond there had the power to bring the dead back to life, and it was just the right time for him to take the Blood Soul Grass safely.

The ape demon has a different physique, so it will be fine if it eats the blood soul grass. However, other creatures are different. They cannot directly absorb the medicinal properties. Eighty percent of the medicinal properties are deadly to other races. There was a first generation that died directly from taking too much.

"I have to pick some more Blood Soul Grass. The Beast Baby only gained mana immunity after taking 200 plants!" Ling Feng said to himself. His physical body has always been his weakness and he wants to make up for it.

Ling Feng has nothing and can only rely on himself. Unlike the Beast Baby, who has the guidance and baptism of the Willow God, all he can do is fight for everything.

There are many peerless magical powers, magic skills, and insights of sages in the Tianxian Academy, but only outstanding disciples have the opportunity to learn them. Ling Feng is only in the upper-middle level in the academy and is not yet at the top.

He could only hone himself through this kind of training between life and death, catch up with them, show his talent, become a disciple of the academy, learn various magical skills, become stronger and take revenge. …

There are many ancient battlefields in the Blood Plains, and there are many creatures like ape demons. Wherever there are ape demons, it means there is blood soul grass. Ling Feng advanced fifty or sixty thousand miles in the blood mist and found another ape demon nest.

"There may be hundreds of Blood Soul Grass here!" Looking at the densely packed Blood Soul Grass in a valley, Ling Feng couldn't help but be moved.

However, we must be more vigilant at this time. The more Blood Soul Grass there are, the more Ape Demons there are. Some have even reached the Divine Fire Realm. Although their IQ is not high, their combat power is enough to tear apart the earth and the void, so we must not be careless.

At present, he only has an Inscription Mirror and cannot deal with such an existence. He can still fight in the formation, and the Venerable still has a chance to escape, but there is no way he can deal with the Divine Fire Realm.

“Ah…” A thunderous howl was heard in the huge valley. Among them, there was an ape demon whose scales were glowing silver. It was exceptionally tall, and its body was crystal clear and glowing, like jade.

Unlike the others, this one has undergone a transformation and is even stronger. It is obvious that the other ape demons in the valley are led by the silver-scaled ape demon.

Ape demons can evolve. It is said that they can evolve into invulnerable King Kong apes, truly reaching the pinnacle of physical training. With a wave of their hands, they can shatter mountains with just the strength of their physical bodies, and they are not afraid of any magical attacks.

But this kind of evolution is not so simple. The Golden Bodhisattva Fruit is an essential medicinal material for their evolution, but this thing is too rare, even gods covet it. Generally, the places where the Golden Bodhisattva Fruit grows are terrifying and full of dangers.

"This opportunity is rare, we can't give up easily. I don't know how long it will take to search the next place, and whether we can find so many!" Ling Feng didn't want to give up easily. Even in the Blood Plains, the Blood Soul Grass was quite rare. It only grew in places where countless creatures had died.

Ling Feng used the same trick again and planned to deploy more puppets. The ape demon that had reached the Divine Fire Realm was too strong. The puppet in the Inscription Realm might be killed with a slap before it could even run away. Moreover, the puppet was already dead and could not exert its strength before death.

The puppet attracted it out from the front, and he used a spiritual body to control multiple puppets and try to entangle it. This spiritual body would definitely never come back, and it would also suffer some damage, but compared to getting these blood soul grasses, it was nothing. As long as he didn't die, the spiritual body could condense.

"boom!"

A roar was heard, and more than a dozen puppets attacked the valley to attract the attention of the ape demon. Ling Feng still underestimated the power of the ape demon. Two of the puppets were smashed to pieces by a punch before they could run away from the valley, and the rest fled in all directions.

Fortunately, the Ape Demon does not practice magic but only refines his body, so he does not have an advantage in speed, especially against the puppets that can move quickly in the air. It will be enough to delay him for three minutes, and Ling Feng can then pick the Blood Soul Grass and escape.

"It must be fast!"

Ling Feng quickly flew into the valley, wanting to hold the ape demon back for three minutes. It seemed easy, but it was actually very difficult. A creature with high cultivation level could kill a creature with low cultivation level in seconds.

"receive!"

The powerful suction force also sucked the soil in. When hundreds of plants were put into the Qiankun bag, Ling Feng's face suddenly turned pale.

"Oh no, the spiritual body has been destroyed!"
