Chapter 180 - Meeting Again
A small sword piece was spinning around a young boy's body. This boy was Qin Feng and the sword piece was the piece of a sword known as Star King Sword.
Qin Feng knew that with his current strength, he didn't even have the qualification to touch this sword piece. Previously, when he touched it, his own fingers were cut deeply.
So, he wrapped the sword piece with his spiritual energy and sent it inside the Mysterious Space, far from the place where Xu Shang was staying.
After that, Qin Feng decided to leave this place but just as he was about to leave, a burst of wind suddenly came over.
There is a Demonic Beast?
No, it was a human!
Qin Feng clenched his fists and started circulating the spirit energy in his body when he felt the footsteps of humans.
Soon, three young figures suddenly appeared in front of Qin Feng.
When Qin Feng saw these three people, he was stunned for a moment. It is because he knew two out of three figures. One of them was the little girl whom he saw at the tea stall in the Blackrock City when she sat down in front of him. At that time, when she took out the communication talisman to communicate with someone, the other side called her Little Xing.
As for the other one, he had met her a few months ago in the Cold Winter City. She was Fan Feng Yi from the Hidden Orchid Pure Land. Qin Feng met her before and during the Cold Winter Small Conference.
The last one was also a beautiful girl. Qin Feng had never seen her so doesn't know who she was.
"Qin Feng?"
When Fan Feng Yi saw Qin Feng, she was startled at first before quickly becoming normal. She never expected to meet Qin Feng here, at the Demonic Mountain Forest out of all places.
"Miss Feng Yi." Qin Feng also nodded and greeted Fan Feng Yi with a smile on his face.
"Eh! Senior Sister Feng Yi, you know such a handsome man. Who is he, tell us, tell us!"
It was at this moment the little girl called Little Xing held Fan Feng Yi's left hand and asked in a spoiled manner.
Fan Feng Yi was still wearing a veil and her beautiful face was hidden behind it. Qin Feng could not see her face but he could still see the look of helplessness in Fan Feng Yi's eyes when Little Xing behaved like this.
Fan Feng Yi shook her head in helplessness and said, "Hua Xing, he is a friend of mine. We met at the Cold Winter City during the Cold Winter Small Conference!"
Saying this, she turned her head and looked at the other beautiful lady and said, "Zhi Shu, how about we take him along. He is powerful. If she were to go with us, our team's strength will increase and the pressure on us will lessen while facing the demonic beasts."
"Hmm, I think what you are saying is right." The girl named Zhi Shu nodded her head and agreed with Fan Feng Yi.
When Qin Feng heard them, he was confused but then Fan Feng Yi said, "Qin Feng, you are also going deep inside the forest to find out the reason behind the strangeness of the Demonic Mountain Forest, right? Let's go together."
"Are you all here to find out the cause behind the strange situation inside the Demonic Mountain Forest?" Qin Feng asked in surprise.
Fan Feng Yi nodded her head and said, "Not only us, but many sects also have sent their disciples here to find out the root of the problem inside the Demonic Mountain Forest. Wait a moment, don't tell me you are not here for this?"
Qin Feng nodded and replied, "I really am not here for this. I was just planning to return to Heavenly Star Sect and passing through the Demonic Mountain Forest happened to be the shortest root to go there."
"Oh! So that's how it is. But, to pass through this forest, you have to enter the core area of the Demonic Mountain Forest first. Since we are also going there, why don't you come with us? This way, we can take care of each other in our way."
Fan Feng Yi said with a smile. Although Qin Feng couldn't see her smile, he still felt his heart palpitating. This Fan Feng Yi was really as seductive as ever. Her every move and the way she talk with someone or the way she walk was filled with charm that could seduce almost everyone.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng calmed his heart down, thought for a while and after finding what Fan Feng Yi said was right, he agreed to go with them.
.....
In the gloomy and dark forest, there was a narrow and winding path.
The tall trees on both sides of the path were abnormally lush and the treetops were luxuriant. The verdant and lush treetops were tightly linked and not a single strand of light could be seen through them. It was clearly daytime, but Qin Feng, Fan Feng Yi, Zhi Shu, and Hua Xing, who were walking here, felt as if they were walking in the evening time.
A soft sound suddenly came from their side.
Qin Feng's eyes turned cold as he waved his hand and released a silver light. The silver light flashed as it blow through the air with the force of the wind. With a "hiss" sound, a poisonous beast similar to a lizard that was hidden in the bushes was chopped into two halves.
The lizard struggled as fresh blood gushed out from its wounds. It swayed a few times and stopped moving.
"There are really a lot of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts here. I clearly used the secret technique to conceal our auras, but they still keep appearing one after another." Zhi Shu frowned slightly with a helpless look in her eyes.
From the moment they started walking together with Qin Feng, they had already encountered at least a dozen waves of beasts' attacks. Poison ants, giant pythons, blood mosquitoes, and more were basically all dark creatures.
Fortunately, those Demonic Beast were not of a high rank, so Qin Feng and others easily took care of them.
"Feng Yi, have you sensed something dangerous ahead?" Zhi Shu asked at this moment.
Feng Yi's expression was a little confused. She pondered for a while and said, "I don't know why but there is an indescribable strange power affecting my perception. The further I go, the stronger that power becomes!"
"Why is this happening?" Hua Xing asked.
Feng Yi shook her head, indicating that she wasn't too sure.
"What kind of power is it? Can you sense it?" Qin Feng asked curiously.
"I can't say it, but I feel that the disturbance inside the Demonic Mountain Forest has been increasing." Feng Yi's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion and doubt as she looked at Qin Feng and the others. Her red lips parted as she replied uncertainly, "It's as if that aura didn't originate from a human."
That aura did not originate from a human!
After hearing his words, everyone was stunned.
"It's really worrisome." Zhi Shu sighed softly and said.
Fan Feng Yi's perception was extremely strong and only because of her strong perception did they manage to avoid many powerful demonic beasts in the way deep inside the Demonic Mountain Forest.
But from a while ago, Fan Feng Yi could feel as if some kind of aura was interfering with her perception and this aura doesn't belong to a human.
Amongst the few of them, only Hua Xing was not worried about any problem. She was skipping along the way as if she was sightseeing. Moreover, she actually 'heartlessly' picked up a flower by the roadside with her small hands and said, "The flowers here are so beautiful. Come, Qin Feng, let me give you this flower as a reward for dealing with so many poisonous insects and demonic beasts along the way."
Saying that Hua Xing took out a pure white flower that was similar to white peony and passed it to Qin Feng.
"Thank you. You should keep it for yourself!" Qin Feng answered lazily. He was carefully observing the surroundings and didn't dare to lose his focus. They were currently only a few thousand meters away from reaching the core area of the Demonic Mountain Forest. Who knows what kind of danger was ahead so, Qin Feng didn't dare to let his guard down.
"Don't! This is the first time I am giving a flower to a man. Come, let me help you put it on, hehe."
Then, Hua Xing stretched the white flower towards Qin Feng's head. Qin Feng would never agree to something like that. He stepped back and casually pushed away Hua Xing's hand, then accidentally hit the petal.
However, this flower was much more fragile than he had expected.. A few petals slowly fell apart.
