Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Hey, Lu family kid, you must have won the lottery."

Just as Lu Feng was filled with despair, Gu Canyang floated out of the treasure basin, his tone mocking, "Such a massive beast tide is attacking, and there's even a flock of Crimson Vultures guarding the sky. It's practically a net from heaven and earth."

"Old-fashioned, what era are you living in? Why are you still making sarcastic remarks from here?"

Faced with Gu Canyang's teasing, Lu Feng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't forget, we're in the same boat. If I die, your chance to regain your physical body and escape the shackles of the Treasure Basin will be even longer!"

"By the way, can't you freely enter and exit the Treasure Basin space? Could you put me inside again for a while longer?"

As if remembering something, Lu Feng looked expectant.

After all, during the last celestial calamity, he only managed to escape by relying on Gu Canyang's intervention and hiding inside the Treasure Basin.

And with the current beast tide, the same method should be applicable!

"Hehe, I'm afraid I can't do that."

Faced with Lu Feng's suggestion, Gu Canyang, contrary to his usual behavior, shook his head, then stroked his long beard and said, "Currently, the Treasure Basin has only been repaired to about one-fifth. Ordinary living beings can only stay inside for a maximum of one hour. If they exceed this time, it will cause their physical bodies to collapse, or even their life force to be completely cut off, resulting in immediate death!"

"You just left the inner space of the Treasure Basin. If I were to send you back in now, it would be tantamount to using someone else to kill you, unless you also want to abandon your physical body and become a remnant soul or artifact spirit like me."

Gu Canyang's tone remained calm, but Lu Feng's face was ashen. "Damn it! What do we do then?"

"Am I now left with no choice but to sit and wait for my doom?!"

As the saying goes, the strength of one person has its limits, but the strength of all beasts is endless.

Although Lu Feng's current strength and cultivation level are enough to easily deal with a horde of beasts surrounding him, he is ultimately alone, and his internal energy is limited. If he runs out of energy, things will get really bad!

Moreover, these hordes of demonic beasts attacking from all directions were as vast as a tide, numbering no less than tens of thousands! Among them were some top-tier Earth-rank demonic beasts, whose bloodline demonic power was almost as strong as that of a human half-step Yuanhai Realm expert.

Therefore, even someone as powerful as Lu Feng cannot fight against ten thousand beasts alone right now, let alone break through the encirclement!

"Heh, there is a way to escape, but the price is a bit too high..."

Seeing Lu Feng's alarmed expression, Gu Canyang grinned and then said quietly, "Let's see if you're willing to part with it..."

"What price?"

"Hidden Spirit Fruit".

Gu Canyang then pointed to Lu Feng's right-hand storage ring, "This item is a rare and precious medicinal herb. Although it is not yet fully developed, it has accumulated over fifty years of pure medicinal power. Recently, it has been further nurtured by the Treasure Basin, resulting in a significant increase in its spiritual essence. It is not far from being fully mature!"

"Ancient, could it be that you mean...?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng seemed to realize something, and his pupils constricted sharply.

"good."

Nodding again, Gu Canyang continued, "The Hidden Spirit Fruit contains a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, making it one of the best even among rare medicinal herbs. It also has a fatal attraction for the demonic beasts outside."

"If we use the Spirit-Hiding Fruit as bait to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, you have at least a 50% chance of escaping unscathed. It's better than staying here and waiting to die."

"Using this Spirit-Hiding Fruit as bait to attract the beast horde's attention...?"

As he spoke, Lu Feng raised his hand and lightly touched the storage ring on his finger. He then took out the Spirit-Storing Fruit that he had treasured for a long time. At this moment, his face still showed some hesitation.

After all, this Spirit Fruit is not only extremely precious, but it also came from his fiancée Ye Yun, and it is about to be fully ripe. It would be a great pity to just throw it away like this!

As for Gu Canyang's suggestion of "sacrificing the pawn to save the king," it was not just empty talk.

This is because, although demonic beasts generally have low intelligence, they possess a keen sense of smell for various medicinal herbs, spiritual plants, and precious medicines.

This is why most mature medicinal herbs are surrounded by monsters that occupy their territory and treat them as their own private property.

"Lu family brat, hurry up! There's no time...!"

Just as Lu Feng was hesitating, Gu Canyang shouted a warning again in his ear. At the same time, the beast tide army not far away was getting closer and closer, less than a hundred meters away from him!

Caw! Caw! Caw!

As for the large flock of Crimson Vultures entrenched in the sky, they never stopped their attack, relentlessly assaulting Lu Feng below, intending to break through his protective Yuan Power and then devour him.

"Oh shit!"

"As long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn!"

Clutching the Spirit-Hiding Fruit tightly in his palm, Lu Feng cursed under his breath and then suddenly threw the fruit away.

Swish!

The Hidden Spirit Fruit shot out like an arrow, and the large flock of Crimson Vultures that had been attacking Lu Feng changed their target and surged toward the Hidden Spirit Fruit like a tide, seemingly all attracted by it.

Roar!Roar!Roar!

Moreover, the moment the Hidden Spirit Fruit landed, the originally surging beast tide suddenly fell into turmoil, and a large number of demonic beasts began to fight each other on the spot. For a time, there were roars of beasts and chaos.

"Holy crap! It actually works?"

Seeing that the beast tide army suddenly fell into infighting, and even the Crimson Vulture flock was attracted to it, Lu Feng's face lit up with joy.

After all, a rare and precious herb called "Hidden Spirit Fruit" that is nearly a hundred years old is incredibly attractive to ordinary demonic beasts. Not to mention the beast horde and the flock of Crimson Vultures in front of them, even Heavenly-rank demonic beasts might not be able to resist it!

Swish!

Just as Lu Feng was watching the show, Gu Canyang floated out of the treasure basin again, and at the same time flicked his hand to shoot out a golden talisman paper the size of a palm, covered with obscure spiritual patterns.

Boo!

The golden talisman landed squarely on Lu Feng's forehead. The next moment, the fluctuations of his Yuan Power and his life force plummeted. In just a few breaths, he fell to the bottom, becoming almost indistinguishable from a dead object!

"This, this is...?!"

Noticing the strange changes happening all over his body, Lu Feng couldn't help but look slightly surprised.

"Walk!"

However, before Lu Feng could recover, Gu Canyang grabbed his robe and pulled him into the sky, flying eastward at full speed.
