340: The shapeshifting monster's pursuit
After cleaning up the battlefield, Mu Feng continued to move to a new Yao Beast hunting spot.
Unconsciously.
A day passed just like that.
During this day, Mu Feng set up hunting spots in three different locations.
Besides the canyon and the island.
Later, he repeated the same trick in front of a broken cliff.
Just like the previous two times.
Mu Feng and the Little Lizard cooperated tacitly, easily killing all the Yao Beasts that came to eat the Demon-Attracting Grass.
However, unlike the previous two times, Mu Feng's luck was not so good this time.
Or it could be that too many Advanced Yao Beasts had been hunted in this area.
When hunting Yao Beasts at the broken cliff later, three or four transformed Yao Beasts directly came to chase them.
Mu Feng was so scared that he immediately took the Little Lizard and fled frantically.
He didn't even have time to pick up the Yao Beast Materials on the ground.
Despite this.
Those few transformed Yao Beasts were still unwilling to let him go.
They chased him all the way.
Mu Feng had no choice but to use Mystic Bird Transformation, Blood Magic Robe, and all other acceleration methods.
Only then did he escape the combined ambush of the few Yao Beasts.
However, during the escape, he still suffered some injuries.
And many Magic Treasures were consumed in this battle.
These included the Purple City Net, Hundred Demon Diagram, Earth River Shield, and some other people's Lifebound Treasures obtained earlier.
This made Mu Feng secretly think he was unlucky.
He had been hunting geese all his life, but he almost got his eyes pecked out by a goose this time.
Fortunately, his current physical defense and recovery capabilities were good.
The injuries he sustained quickly recovered after taking some Medicinal Pills.
Afterward, Mu Feng, unwilling to give up, wanted to find a new Yao Beast hunting spot.
This time, to avoid the pursuit of the transformed Yao Beasts from before.
He even went to a very distant place to set up the Demon-Attracting Grass.
As a result, as soon as he released the scent of the Demon-Attracting Grass this time.
Within the range of his Divine Sense, he saw several transformed Yao Beasts chasing after him.
Mu Feng was so scared that he quickly put away the Demon-Attracting Grass.
Then he used his escape Divine Ability and fled directly.
After these two failed hunting attempts, Mu Feng probably understood that it was likely because he had hunted too many Advanced Yao Beasts.
He was already on the blacklist.
As long as he released the Demon-Attracting Grass, transformed Yao Beasts would be dispatched.
After understanding the cause of the matter.
Mu Feng had no choice but to give up the idea of hunting Yao Beasts to upgrade his Lifebound Treasure, the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword.
At least, it was absolutely impossible within this Purple Bamboo Forest.
【Name: Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword】
【Grade: Lifebound Treasure (Advanced Magic Treasure)】
【Effect: A complete set of Magic Treasures, powerful, can form a sword Formation to attack enemies when combined!】
【Additional: Soul-Devouring (150/300, can be upgraded to a top-grade Magic Treasure after devouring 300 more Primordial Spirits!)】
【Intermediate Magic Treasure Additional: Sharpness (Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword becomes sharper, easily cutting through opponent's defenses)】
【Advanced Magic Treasure Additional: Soul Capture (When Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword attacks an enemy, it can release soul-capturing sword light, disturbing the enemy's mind.)】
【Durability: 55000/55000.】
“What a pity.”
“If I had one more day of hunting time, I could have maximized the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword's devouring progress.”
Mu Feng glanced at the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword's devouring progress.
He found that it had already reached one hundred and fifty layers.
If no transformed Yao Beasts had come to chase him.
He should have been able to reach two hundred layers yesterday.
Adding today, he probably would have been able to upgrade his Lifebound Treasure, the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword, to a top-grade Magic Treasure.
This made Mu Feng secretly feel regret.
“Little Lizard, let's go.”
“But where should we go?”
He couldn't stay in the Purple Bamboo Forest anymore.
Yesterday, he was chased for almost half a day.
Mu Feng didn't want to experience that stifling feeling a second time.
However, this Trial Tournament was only on the third day.
The Mystic Heaven Tower would only open in two more days.
For the remaining two days, Mu Feng really didn't know where to go.
He scratched his head.
Mu Feng found that he seemed to be at a loss for choices.
“Beep beep beep!”
Just as Mu Feng was feeling a bit lost, his friends chat window suddenly chimed.
Mu Feng opened it.
It was from Han Yuyan, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time.
The last time he borrowed Spirit Stones, she hadn't replied until just now.
Han Yuyan: “Do you still need Spirit Stones?”
Mu Feng: “...”
Mu Feng: “Your question makes me not know how to answer.”
Mu Feng: “A message sent two days ago, only replying now.”
Han Yuyan: “I'm sorry, I was trapped by a Restriction earlier and didn't have time to reply to you.”
Mu Feng: “Restriction?”
Han Yuyan: “To be precise, it should be an underground palace.”
Han Yuyan: “Actually, I came to find you this time to ask if you're interested in coming over to my side to help me break this Restriction. There should be a lot of good things inside.”
Han Yuyan: “When we enter the underground palace, the treasures inside will be split in half.”
Mu Feng: “Underground palace? Where are you located now?”
Hearing that Han Yuyan had an adventure, Mu Feng also asked for her location.
It just so happened that he didn't know where to go now.
If the other party wasn't far away.
He could go and take a look.
Generally speaking, if it was a large ruin like an underground palace.
There should be many good things inside.
It would be even better if he could get some ancient treasures or imitation Spirit Treasures.
Yesterday, while fleeing for his life, many of his Magic Treasures were used up.
This included the Purple City Net, which he had only recently acquired.
Han Yuyan: “I'm currently in the core layer, near the Demon Abyss Sea. Wait, I think I can share my location with you.”
【System Reminder: The other party has shared their coordinates with you. Do you accept?】
As soon as Han Yuyan finished speaking.
A red prompt appeared before Mu Feng's eyes.
“Accept.”
Mu Feng nodded, accepted, and then opened the other party's location information.
“Oh, it doesn't seem to be particularly far.”
“Are the Purple Bamboo Forest and the Demon Abyss Sea really that close?”
From the coordinates given by the other party.
His current location and the other party's were only an hour or two of flying distance apart.
Compared to these two dangerous places, they were quite close.
However, his current location was not in the Purple Bamboo Forest itself, but at its edge.
So, to say it was close, it was actually alright.
Mu Feng: “Received. I'll go take a look now, but I might not necessarily be able to break your Restriction.”
Han Yuyan: “That's great! It's okay, just come over first.”
Hearing that Mu Feng was willing to come, Han Yuyan was overjoyed.
She believed that with Mu Feng's help, they should be able to break this Formation.
After chatting briefly with Han Yuyan again.
Mu Feng closed the friends chat window.
He took out the Gale Boat and quickly rushed towards Han Yuyan's location.
On the way.
Bored, Mu Feng opened the points leaderboard again.
He checked the points of the top ten.
【Tenth Place: Li Xuan, Points: 908167, World: 102】
【Ninth Place: Huangfu Zhengyi, Points: 915643, World: 105】
【Eighth Place: Zhang Ridong, Points: 940176, World: 99】
【Seventh Place: Lin Cong, Points: 991182, World: 103】
【Sixth Place: Zhang Heng, Points: 1002185, World: 98】
【Fifth Place: Zhuge Zhantian, Points: 1133195, World: 101】
【Fourth Place: Ouyang Lin, Points: 1155201, World: 107】
【Third Place: Fifth Zhaotong, Points: 1166206, World: 101】
【Second Place: Wen Ze, Points: 1290209, World: 96】
【First Place: Mu Feng, Points: 1488702, World: 108】
...
In the latter half of yesterday, because he was constantly fleeing, Mu Feng didn't have time to earn points.
So his points didn't change much.
On the contrary, the few people behind him seemed to be unaffected and kept increasing their points.
The original 400,000 point difference with the second place had now become 200,000.
If he didn't work harder, he might very well be surpassed by the other party today.
After checking the points.
Mu Feng then glanced at the world channel to see if there was any other useful information.
“Strange, I haven't seen any news of that Devil Head causing trouble today?”
“Indeed, but it's also possible that the Devil Head is too strong, and the victims couldn't send out distress signals.”
“It's possible he's killed enough and is currently digesting, or he was dealt with by some big shot yesterday.”
“All are possible. Anyway, everyone just be careful.”
“Yes, it's best not to be alone. Is anyone willing to team up? I'm in the Purple Bamboo Forest. Those who want to team up, come find me. It's safer to act together.”
“Purple Bamboo Forest? Holy cow, brother, you're really not afraid of death, are you? Don't you know that the Yao Beasts in the Purple Bamboo Forest suddenly went berserk yesterday? It's said that many transformed Yao Beasts killed anyone they saw, and they were asking if anyone had seen a handsome human with a Puppet Lizard.”
“Huh? There's such a thing?”
“Yes, I almost died on the spot yesterday. I don't know who is so amazing to have provoked those transformed Yao Beasts in the Purple Bamboo Forest into forming a faction.”
“Holy cow, which awesome person is so fierce? To actually anger the transformed Yao Beasts inside?”
“Handsome? Obviously, that person is me!”
“Of course it's me. Is it Ip Man?”
“I'm coming clean, that person is me. The reason is I f*cked all the female Yao Beasts inside!”
“???”
“666, brother, I don't even lean on the wall, I only admire you!”
“Xu Xian reincarnated?”
....
Listening to everyone discussing the information about the Purple Bamboo Forest in the world channel, Mu Feng couldn't help but be stunned.
Weren't they talking about him?
Handsome, and carrying a Puppet Lizard.
“Sure enough, hunting too many Yao Beasts angered the transformed Yao Beasts.”
“It seems that in the future, I still can't kill too many Yao Beasts in one place, otherwise, it's easy to bring trouble upon myself.”
He had indeed gone a bit too far yesterday.
Those sixth and seventh-tier Yao Beasts were the mainstays of the Purple Bamboo Forest.
Yet he killed over a hundred of them in one day.
With so many subordinates dying, it would be strange if those transformed Yao Beasts weren't anxious.
After glancing at other messages.
Mu Feng closed the chat channel.
And focused on traveling.
Today was already the third day.
There were also more players in the core layer.
While Mu Feng was traveling, he encountered several groups of people who wanted to get close to him.
However, before they could get close, Mu Feng quickly fled.
Seeing Mu Feng's incredibly fast escape speed.
Those people were all startled.
They thought they had encountered a Nascent Soul Old Monster.
They scattered in all directions, fearing that Mu Feng would return for revenge later.
“Who was that person just now? Why is his movement speed so fast? Is that a flying Magic Treasure under him?”
“It seems so, truly terrifying.”
“No, did you see the Lizard on his flying boat? Do you think he might be the Cultivator from the Purple Bamboo Forest who angered the transformed Yao Beasts?”
“It's very possible. This place isn't far from the Purple Bamboo Forest, and he is indeed quite handsome.”
“So, we just encountered a Nascent Soul Old Monster?”
The few people looked at each other, all scared by their own imaginations.
Fortunately, the other party had no intentions towards them.
Otherwise, they would have been doomed there.
....
Mu Feng was incredibly fast.
While the few people were discussing, he was already dozens of kilometers away.
Under his nearly full-speed travel.
What would have originally taken one or two hours of travel, he managed to reach in about an hour.
“It should be here.”
“Strange, why don't I see anyone?”
Mu Feng glanced at the coordinate information.
He found that his location and the location Han Yuyan sent were overlapping.
However, what surprised him was that he didn't see her figure here.
He even released his entire Divine Sense, but still didn't detect Han Yuyan's trace.
This made Mu Feng a bit frustrated.
Just as he was thinking about whether to open the chat window and send a message.
His own chat window chimed first.
He opened it and saw it was a message from Han Yuyan.
Han Yuyan: “I'm below you. The entrance to the underground palace is behind that huge rock. I've set up a blocking Formation there. You can come in once you break it.”
“Below?”
Upon receiving the message.
Mu Feng released his Spiritual Eye Divine Power and scanned.
He found that it was pretty much as the other party said; there were indeed traces of an underground palace inside.
Although there were Restrictions blocking it, Mu Feng could still discern some clues.
After a simple scan, confirming that the Formation left by the other party had no danger, Mu Feng took the Little Lizard and stepped inside.
This underground palace was very grand.
Mu Feng's Divine Sense swept across, and he quickly found a beautiful figure looking troubled in front of a light shield.
“Mu Feng, over here!”
Han Yuyan's Divine Sense seemed quite good.
As soon as Mu Feng found her location.
He saw her waving and calling him over.
“I didn't expect you to come so quickly? I thought I'd have to wait three to five hours.”
“What, isn't fast good?”
Mu Feng teased.
With that, he turned to look at the glowing Restriction in front of her.
“Is this the Formation Restriction you mentioned?”
“Yes, it's this one. It has trapped me here for two days.”
As soon as Mu Feng mentioned this Restriction, Han Yuyan's face was filled with worry.
To break this Restriction, she had used every method she had for the past two days.
But she just couldn't break it.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have called Mu Feng for help.
“Let me see.”
Seeing the other party's worried expression, Mu Feng immediately became interested.
He released his Spiritual Eye Divine Power and began to examine the Restriction in front of him.
“Oh, this seems to be an ancient Restriction?”
With one glance.
Mu Feng could tell the nature of this Restriction.
“Ancient Restriction?”
Han Yuyan looked at Mu Feng with a face full of curiosity, waiting for his explanation.
