Green Poison Swamp—fourteen mbers of the Demon Wolf rcenary Group, each stained with blood, were still waiting. Shi Feng had left only half an hour ago, and by now, the ground around them was covered with a thick layer of poisonous insects and carcasses of poison beasts.
Three martial artists had also sustained severe injuries in attacks from poison beasts, and two demon wolves lay motionless on the ground, evidently dead.
"Sky Wolf brother, that kid has been gone for so long, do you think he could be dead?" a martial artist, gazing into the deep cave from which Shi Feng had departed, said to Lone Wolf.
"I kind of hope he is dead, then we could all be free. But that kid is quite skilled; I doubt he died that easily," Sky Wolf responded.
"Ah," the martial artist sighed, "Initially at this ti, I would have been at Fengyue Building in Demon Beast City, sipping tea and enjoying so pastries, maybe even having so fun with a few girls from there. Who would have thought I’d end up in this hellhole? Why did Hee Xuan have to ss with such a terrible person?"
"Hee Xuan is dead, and we definitely can’t go back to Demon Beast City anymore. What plans does everyone have for the future?" another martial artist spoke up.
"What’s there to plan? Let’s focus on surviving this hellhole first. Besides, even if we do survive here, it depends if that terrible person lets us go. You all saw the Evil Sect Technique he’s cultivating, right? It absorbs the blood of living beings to enhance his Cultivation Level. I guess we are also dood ultimately."
"Ah!"
"If only I knew it would be like this, I would have feigned injury that day and not gotten involved in this ss with Hee Xuan."
While these martial artists were discussing, suddenly, a huge black shadow sprang out from the deep cave beside them. Everyone hastily got ready for defense, turning towards the shadow, except for the three severely injured martial artists who saved their energy for an attack.
"Thinking of rebelling so soon?" Shi Feng’s icy voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s ears.
They then realized that the figure that had leapt from the deep cave was the Third-stage Demon Wolf, and Shi Feng along with Yuel Wushuang were standing on its back.
Everyone sheathed their weapons.
"So, seeing alive disappoints you all, doesn’t it?" Shi Feng said coldly.
No one spoke, their disappointnt evident at seeing this fierce person still alive.
"Keep moving!" Shi Feng commanded.
At Shi Feng’s command, the group set off again.
The three injured martial artists applied a dicinal powder given to them by Yuel Wushuang, swallowed so dicinal fluid, and their conditions gradually began to improve. The three uninjured martial artists even gave up their demon wolves for their injured comrades.
Shi Feng, like before, stood atop the demon wolf, riding alongside Yuel Wushuang’s wolf at the front of the group while Yuel Wushuang occasionally poured white powder into the green swamp to solidify it for passage.
After Yuel Wushuang had been captured right before his eyes, Shi Feng had beco even more cautious, unsure if this cursed place still harbored such perverse old monsters.
As a swarm of black poison flies was incinerated into ashes by the Blood-colored Sea of Fire, the group finally exited the Green Poison Swamp. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, relieved to have escaped that dreadful place with its disgusting poison insects, beasts, and the pungent, rotting green poison liquid that seed to infect one’s very being.
Erging from the Green Poison Swamp, the surroundings were still shrouded in a green poisonous fog from the primitive forest, but as soon as they entered this place, everyone imdiately felt the temperature rise, and a scorching breath ca from ahead.
Shi Feng spoke to Yuel Wushuang, "Ahead should be the Fla Territory, and the Fire Dragon Grass you are looking for should be around here."
"Okay," Yuel Wushuang happily nodded to Shi Feng.
"What are the characteristics of this Fire Dragon Grass?" Shi Feng asked.
"It’s fiery red all over, and it looks like a cluster of dragon-shaped flas burning," Yuel Wushuang replied.
Shi Feng turned around and addressed the martial artists from the Demon Wolf rcenary Group, "Sky Wolf Lone Wolf, each of you take six people and split into two teams to search for the Fire Dragon Grass. The Fire Dragon Grass is fiery red, resembling a cluster of dragon-shaped flas burning. If found, use the Demon Wolf Fla Spouting into the Sky as a signal. Everyone who sees the Demon Wolf Fla spouting into the sky should gather there imdiately."
Using this as a signal, Shi Feng could also use this thod to regroup them. With the two Nine-star Martial Spirit Peaks leading, as long as they didn’t encounter a Fourth-stage King Level Demon Beast, there shouldn’t be any major casualties.
As the martial artists of the Demon Wolf rcenary Group dispersed, Shi Feng turned to Yuel Wushuang and said, "Your Soul Power should not be far from the Fourth-stage."
"I’m at the Peak of Third-stage and recovering to the Fourth-stage is not far off, thanks to you. You gave all your Soul Power to along the way; otherwise, it would have taken years of hard work." Yuel Wushuang said with a smile, now smiling more frequently when facing Shi Feng.
"Why did Qin Rufan only teach you the Nine Nether Technique concerning soul cultivation, as well as the way of the pharmacist, instead of teaching you any other offensive techniques?" Shi Feng asked, mindful of the doubt in his heart. Yuel Wushuang’s Martial Arts Cultivation was indeed at the Martial Master Realm, but the Martial Arts she practiced did not co from the Nine Nether Lineage.
"Master did it for my own good." Hearing Shi Feng ask this question, Yuel Wushuang’s originally happy face beca a bit lancholic, "He was afraid that I would do sothing foolish in the future. He just wanted to follow him and beco a pharmacist, to live well".
Hearing Yuel Wushuang’s words, Shi Feng seed to understand sothing.
"But what about you?" Shi Feng asked.
With those simple three words, Yuel Wushuang seed to understand what Shi Feng was asking. Clenching her fists and trembling slightly, she said, "I can never forget that scene, my parents, and my most beloved brother, lying in a pool of blood, turned into cold corpses.
I still can’t forget the painful expressions on their faces before they died. In that mont, I felt the whole world had lost its color.
My clanspeople! Over two thousand lives, all slaughtered, sparing not even the newborn babes. How can I forget this vengeance, how can I let it go?"
Yuel Wushuang beca increasingly agitated as she spoke.
"Then kill!" Shi Feng coldly exclaid.
"That’s impossible," Yuel Wushuang shook her head vigorously, trying to calm her angry and excited heart, "It can’t be done. That power is too strong; it’s a colossal entity on the Tianheng Continent." Yuel Wushuang beca sowhat despondent and powerless.
"Which power?" Shi Feng asked.
"Sigh," Yuel Wushuang let out a long sigh, then slowly turned her head and looked back at Shi Feng, and said, "If one day I go to take revenge, will you co with ?"
"Within ten years, I will reach the Nine-star Martial Emperor Realm, and then, no matter if it’s the heavens or the earth, I will help you cut
