255: Chapter 255 Desperate Situation

"Understood!"

Everyone replied in unison.

"Alright! Let's go!"

Lin Hao waved his hand, led everyone to take flight together, and plunged into the massive spatial vortex.

After a bout of dizziness, when Gao Feng opened his eyes again, he was deeply shocked by the scene before him!

They found themselves in the middle of a vast and boundless primeval jungle!

Towering ancient trees blocked out the sky and sun!

Exotic flowers and rare herbs, long extinct in the outside world, could be seen everywhere, emitting an alluring medicinal fragrance!

The air was filled with Spiritual Qi several times more concentrated than that of the Wuxiang Temple inner gate. Just taking a deep breath was refreshing, and it even showed signs of improving one's cultivation!

Not far away, massive and ferocious Yao Beasts would occasionally flash by, emitting earth-shaking roars!

This was the ancient Secret Realm!

A lost world filled with endless Treasure Trove and equally endless danger!

"Everyone be careful, follow me closely!"

Lin Hao's expression became exceptionally grave. He summoned his green wind sword to clear the path ahead and led everyone to explore cautiously into the depths of the jungle.

Along the way, they encountered many precious Spiritual Plants and faced several waves of attacks from Yao Beasts.

But under the leadership of Lin Hao, a Qi Refining eighth-layer expert, and with the tacit cooperation of the group, they resolved the crises without any danger and gained a lot.

Gao Feng's powerful Physical Body played a crucial role in the battles.

He was like an insurmountable mobile fortress, firmly blocking all the Yao Beasts in front, creating excellent opportunities for Lin Hao and Tianxin's attacks.

And Tianxin's Talisman also shined brilliantly.

Various control and attack Talismans emerged one after another, often playing a role in turning the tide of the battle at critical moments.

Just after they had ventured dozens of miles into the jungle, a valley emitting purple rays of light appeared before them.

In the center of the valley, a Spiritual Plant, purple throughout as if carved from crystal and emitting a refreshing, exotic fragrance, was swaying in the wind.

"Purple Spiritual Flower!"

A look of wild joy instantly erupted in Lin Hao's eyes!

This was one of the main ingredients for refining the foundation establishment pill! It was priceless!

However, just as they were about to step forward to pick it, several hostile figures flashed out from the other side of the valley, blocking their path.

It was a group of Cultivators with pale green skin, long pointed ears, and handsome features.

Spirit Race!

A strange race naturally capable of controlling plants!

The leading Spirit Race Cultivator, holding a staff woven from vines and possessing Qi Refining seventh-layer cultivation, stared greedily at the Purple Spiritual Flower and said coldly in a stiff tone: "Human Race, we discovered this Purple Spiritual Flower first. If you know what's good for you, get lost immediately!"

"Ridiculous!" Lin Hao sneered, and the green wind sword in his hand let out a clear sword hum. "Heaven And Earth Treasure belongs to those capable of taking it! Does your Spirit Race even deserve to talk about 'first come, first served'?"

"You're courting death!"

The Spirit Race leader's eyes flashed with a hint of violent murderous intent, and he slammed his staff onto the ground!

"Vine Cage!"

Rumble!

On the ground, countless thick vines broke through the soil like living giant pythons, crazily coiling toward Lin Hao and the others!

"Attack!"

Lin Hao gave a low shout and made the first move!

"green wind sword Technique — Wind Sweeps Away The Clouds!"

The green wind sword in his hand instantly transformed into storms of green Sword Qi, shredding all the incoming vines to pieces!

"Gao Feng! Engage from the front! Tianxin, use Talismans to suppress! Yun Xi, pay attention to healing! Shi Lei, charge from the flank!"

In an instant, Lin Hao issued the most precise combat orders!

"Understood!"

Gao Feng roared, his Body Refining sixth-layer Qi and blood power erupted, and he launched himself like a cannonball, actively charging towards the Spirit Race leader!

He wanted to use his powerful Physical Body to create the best attack opportunities for his teammates!

A skirmish triggered by the competition for a Heaven And Earth Treasure erupted instantly!

...

The battle was much more intense than imagined.

Although those Spirit Race Cultivators' cultivation was not top-notch, their endless, eerie methods of controlling plants made them difficult to guard against.

However, under the nearly perfect coordination of Lin Hao's team, they were still pushed back step by step.

Gao Feng was like an invincible god of war, firmly suppressing the Spirit Race leader of the Qi Refining seventh-layer, leaving him no time to attend to anything else.

Lin Hao's green wind sword style was elegant yet fierce, moving through the battlefield like a ghost, constantly harvesting the lives of those ordinary Spirit Race Cultivators.

Tianxin's Talismans were like a net cast from heaven and earth, shrouding the entire battlefield, making those Spirit Race Cultivators suffer immensely.

In the end, after paying a heavy price, the Spirit Race leader finally realized that they were no match for this Human Race team. He could only let out an unwilling roar and fled the place in a sorry state with his remaining soldiers.

"Phew... finally resolved."

Lin Hao retracted his Flying Sword and let out a long breath of stale air.

Everyone successfully picked the precious Purple Spiritual Flower, and joyful smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

However, they did not know that a greater danger was quietly descending.

Just as they continued to venture deep into the Secret Realm and arrived at a humid swampy area.

A "rustling," scalp-numbing, eerie sound came from all directions.

Immediately after, venomous snakes covered in green scales, with triangular heads and constantly flicking scarlet tongues, crawled out of the mud in the swamp!

Green Scale Snake Race!

A powerful Yao Race known for its deadly poison and speed!

Each of these Green Scale Snakes emitted a terrifying aura equivalent to the Qi Refining seventh-layer, or even eighth-layer!

And in the deepest part of the snake pack, a massive green snake, as thick as a water bucket and with a single horn growing on its head, was slowly raising its head. Its cold, emotionless slit pupils were locked firmly onto Lin Hao and the others!

Snake Race leader!

A terrifying existence at the Peak of the Qi Refining eighth-layer!

"Not good! It's a snake pack! Retreat quickly!"

Lin Hao's face instantly turned pale!

He could never have imagined that they would stumble right into the lair of the Green Scale Snake Race!

But it was already too late!

The Snake Race leader let out a sharp hiss!

The next moment, hundreds upon hundreds of Green Scale Snakes surged toward them from all directions like a black tide!

An incredibly tragic and bitter battle erupted instantly!

Although the strength of Lin Hao's team was already strong enough, when facing this massive and fearless snake pack, they still appeared somewhat overstretched!

"Pfft!"

Just at the moment when Shi Lei chopped a Green Scale Snake to death with his axe, and his old strength was exhausted while new strength had not yet arisen!

A venomous snake lurking in the mud suddenly lunged out and bit into his lower leg!

"Ah!"

Shi Lei let out a painful scream, and his lower leg turned black and swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye!

A black poisonous gas rapidly spread along his Meridians toward his heart!

"Shi Lei!"

Yun Xi let out a cry of surprise and hurriedly rushed over to cast a healing Spell for him.

But the snake venom was simply too overbearing, and her healing Spell had no effect at all!

In just a few short moments, Shi Lei's face had already turned cyan-purple, his breathing became weak, and it looked like he was about to die!

Lin Hao's team was instantly plunged into an unprecedented life-and-death desperate situation!

"Shi Lei!"

Yun Xi's cry, filled with tears, pierced into everyone's ears like a sharp sword!

The burly, mountain-like man was now lying on the ground in pain. His lower leg had completely turned a shocking ink-black, and that black gas was spreading wildly upward along his Meridians at a speed visible to the naked eye!

His lips had turned cyan-purple, his breathing was becoming weaker and weaker, and it looked like he was about to die!

"Damn it! It's the 'Bone-Corroding Poison' of the Green Scale Snake!"

Lin Hao forced back several venomous snakes pouncing on him with his sword, his face looking extremely ugly!

This Bone-Corroding Poison was extremely overbearing. Once it invaded the body, it would rapidly corrode flesh and erode Meridians. Even a Golden Core Stage Cultivator would be helpless without a specialized antidote Medicinal Pill!

Although Yun Xi's healing Spell was exquisite, for a poison of this level, it was like a cup of water on a cartload of burning wood, and it had no effect at all!

"What should we do?! Senior Brother Lin, what should we do?!" Tianxin's pretty face also turned deathly pale. Although the Talismans in her hand were still sharp, they seemed somewhat powerless against this endless snake pack.

The entire team was instantly plunged into unprecedented despair!

However, at this critical juncture of life and death!

Gao Feng, who had been silent and blocking in front of everyone like a solid rock, suddenly spoke up!

"I'll do it!"

His voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable firmness and self-confidence!

While waving his fists, smashing one after another of the pouncing Green Scale Snakes into pulp, he shouted to Tianxin without even turning his head: "Tianxin! Give me all your antidote Talismans!"

"Ah? Oh! Okay!"

Although Tianxin didn't know what Gao Feng wanted to do, out of trust for him, she didn't hesitate to throw all the bottom-of-the-box antidote Talismans from her Talisman bag to Gao Feng!

Gao Feng grabbed the thick stack of Talismans, and with a thought, an inconspicuous jade bottle appeared in his hand.

Without hesitation, he poured out half of the liquid in the jade bottle and stuffed all of Tianxin's antidote Talismans into it!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

When those Talismans containing the power of detoxification came into contact with the liquid in the jade bottle, they instantly turned into streams of pure energy and perfectly merged with the liquid!

The originally clear liquid instantly turned into a jade-green potion emitting a faint fragrance!

"Yun Xi! Pour this into Shi Lei!"

Gao Feng threw the jade bottle fiercely toward Yun Xi!

Yun Xi caught it subconsciously. Looking at the jade-green potion in her hand that radiated vitality, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
