Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Heh, you might be overthinking it..."

Gu Canyang stroked his beard and smiled again, then said quietly, "These facehuggers not only originate from the outer universe, but are also remnants of the ancient war between immortals and demons, and are not something that ordinary martial artists can come into contact with."

"Although that woman named Bai Qianqian seems quite extraordinary, she doesn't have the ability to control these facehuggers..."

"A war between immortals and demons?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was somewhat surprised.

"good."

Seeing Lu Feng's surprised expression, Gu Canyang slowly explained, "About tens of thousands of years ago, the Misty Continent was invaded by a powerful enemy. These invaders not only came from beyond the universe, but were also a group of bloodthirsty and warlike beings, and possessed a terrifying ability called 'Demonic Possession.' People also called them the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan...!"

"Besides, the strength of the extraterrestrial demon race is beyond the reach of ordinary martial artists. Even if all the powerful immortals of the Misty Continent were to emerge, they would still find it difficult to withstand the onslaught of these extraterrestrial demons...!"

"The extraterrestrial demon race, and the ancient war between immortals and demons..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's expression also turned solemn. "So, the Misty Continent once had powerful beings at the Immortal Realm...!"

Because no matter how much essence of heaven and earth and spiritual energy an ordinary martial artist absorbs, he cannot break through the shackles of realm and the mortal body. Even if he cultivates his own Yuan power to the limit, he can only barely step into the realm of half-immortal!

To achieve true immortality, one must absorb a large amount of primordial immortal power to break through the limits of the mortal body!

However, the Misty Continent has long since lost the existence of its original immortal power, and even the Immortal-Nourishing Stone, which contains a trace of original immortal power, has become an almost extinct and scarce item.

Therefore, Lu Feng was extremely surprised by the ancient war between immortals and demons mentioned by Gu Canyang.

Because, since the primordial immortal power was completely severed, no new immortal realm experts have appeared on the Misty Continent for many years.

As for the last Immortal Realm expert, it was Li Qiudao, the founder of Yinyuan Pavilion, one of the three famous pavilions in the Eastern Xuan Domain, who personally established it eight thousand years ago.

"That's natural."

Gu Canyang's tone remained solemn as he continued, "Although the primordial immortal power of the Misty Continent has been completely exhausted, there were still quite a few powerful immortals on the Misty Continent tens of thousands of years ago, before the great war between immortals and demons broke out..."

"Unfortunately, since that world-destroying war between immortals and demons, all the powerful immortals of the Misty Continent have perished, and the original immortal power that once existed between heaven and earth has gradually been depleted..."

"As for these facehuggers, since they originated from the extraterrestrial demon race of ancient times, ordinary methods cannot eradicate them. Only by utilizing the celestial bodies and stars that also come from the extraterrestrial universe, or by casting some kind of sealing formation, can they be barely sealed...!"

Gu Canyang continued to speak eloquently, clearly possessing considerable knowledge of the ancient continent's history.

After all, he was a veteran expert on the mainland during his lifetime, and after his death, he became the spirit of the Treasure Basin and lived for tens of thousands of years. His experience and knowledge far surpassed Lu Feng's, and he was practically a walking encyclopedia!

"Old Gu, judging from what you're saying, these facehuggers probably have nothing to do with that woman Bai Qianqian..."

Lu Feng stroked his chin and said, "However, I still have one more question...!"

"What?"

Gu Canyang also glanced at the other person.

Facing the questioning gaze from Gu Canyang, Lu Feng didn't waste any time and immediately asked, "Since these facehuggers are of extraordinary origin, being remnants of the ancient extraterrestrial demon race, how did these guys from the Evil Man's Stronghold obtain them?"

"They even feed on living people, secretly raising these disgusting facehuggers?"

"I'm no demigod or fortune teller, how could I possibly know how these people obtained the facehugger mother? Perhaps they picked it up from some ancient ruins...!"

Faced with Lu Feng's question, Gu Canyang simply stroked his long beard and then said indifferently, "However, there is one thing I can be sure of, and that is that the facehugger mother is not something that ordinary martial artists can control."

"As for these villains secretly raising a swarm of facehuggers, they must have paid a heavy price, perhaps even losing many lives..."

"It seems that to figure out what's going on behind all this, I'll have to personally confront the two leaders of the Evil Man's Stronghold...!"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng no longer hesitated. He immediately raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike, blasting the remaining three dungeon doors into dust!

Rumble...!

Click...!

With a resounding crack of breaking iron, the once impregnable dungeon doors collapsed instantly, revealing the secrets and mysteries hidden within.

"Aaaaaaah...!"

"No, don't come any closer!"

"I know I was wrong, I'll never dare to resist again...!"

"Please, please don't kill me... Waaaaah!"

However, before Lu Feng could even step into these dungeons, he suddenly heard a panicked woman's cries coming from inside, causing him to pause in his tracks.

Inside the dungeon, the air was thick with filth and stench. A large number of disheveled young women were locked in shackles, unable to move. Their faces were filled with terror, like a group of slaves waiting to be slaughtered, powerless to resist.

Not only that, but also on the ground nearby lay several young female slaves, foaming at the mouth and unconscious, their bodies covered with various wounds and bruises. They had clearly been tortured beyond recognition by the bandits of the evil village, and were almost worse off than dead!

"Are these slaves all innocent women abducted from outside by the villainous village?"

Seeing this, Lu Feng frowned slightly, a surge of anger rising within him. "These beasts deserve to die...!"

After all, compassion is a human quality, and it is part of human nature.

Moreover, the fate of these innocent women was truly tragic!

Not only was he wantonly played with and ravaged by a group of villainous bandits during his lifetime, but even after death he was thrown into the insect nest next to the dungeon to be fed to facehuggers, and in the end he was not even left with a complete corpse!

*Whoosh!* *Snap!*

Forcibly suppressing his anger, Lu Feng raised his hand and swung the Extreme Ice Shield Axe, slashing through the air and simultaneously cutting off the shackles on the young female slaves inside the dungeon, freeing them from their shackles.

"I am not one of those bastards from the evil village, and I will not kill you now. You should all run for your lives."

With a single axe stroke, Lu Feng severed the shackles. He didn't say much, but merely glanced at the terrified and bewildered young female slaves inside the dungeon before speaking in a deep voice.

As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

Although he didn't know these young female slaves imprisoned in the dungeon and had no vested interest in them, Lu Feng wouldn't stand idly by now that he had decided to help.

Moreover, Lu Feng also despised the beastly behavior of the bandits from the Evil Village, so it was only natural for him to step in and save them.
