The villain's daily corpse collection

Chapter 65: Secret Realm (4)

"That's the wind wonder grass. After it wakes up, it will escape being picked at its fastest speed. If you pull it out by the roots, it will grow legs and run away." Huo Feng came over to demonstrate it himself. "The correct way is to knock it out with a palm first, then dig it out and cut off its roots. After it wakes up, it will stay where it is obediently."

"It's amazing, what effect does it have?"

"Well... this little thing looks harmless, but in fact it contains a deadly poison that can kill celestial beings directly. Even gods can hardly resist the attack of neurotoxins and will most likely be disabled. Going crazy is just the initial symptom, and at a certain point the body will explode and die. However, it is harmless to mortals and is also very effective as medicine. To exaggerate, it is like turning the dead into flesh and bones."

Huo Feng handed the Fengqi grass to Wang Wei, "Sometimes I always feel that the way of heaven is clear, and these spiritual herbs born between heaven and earth prove this point. The gods are powerful, but they can be restrained by just a small grass. Mortals are fragile, but this small grass can save lives."

Wang Wei's attention was all on the word "highly poisonous". She wanted to use this grass to deal with the god who came to hunt her down. It was simply too appropriate.

"What a good stuff! It seems to be the only one nearby. Let's see if there are any more. I have picked so many, but I feel that this is the most useful." Wang Wei put away the Fengqi grass and searched carefully.

"There is no more nearby. This grass is too poisonous. Other good grasses around it are almost unable to survive."

The two of them searched for and picked various spiritual plants. Wang Wei didn't know how to pick the spiritual plants for better preservation. Huo Feng patiently explained the function of each spiritual plant. Wang Wei listened carefully and analyzed in his mind at any time where and on whom they could be used.

The road ahead gradually became clear, the rumbling sound of water echoed in all directions, and a huge waterfall appeared in front of her, which looked very much like the Tianzhou waterfall she saw on the day she came to the mortal world. The surroundings were full of vitality, which was completely different from the mortal world.

Wang Wei suggested: "There is a strange light in the cave behind the waterfall. Let's go and take a look."

The two flew to the cliff on the side of the waterfall, stepped on the slippery cliff covered with moss and successfully entered the Water Curtain Cave behind. As Wang Wei expected, the harvest here was not small.

What caught my eyes were various types of spiritual stones embedded in the cracks of the rocks. These spiritual stones could be used as currency in the heavens, and could also be used to refine various auxiliary products. For example, they could add attribute energy to weapons to make them stronger, add novel effects to elixirs, and help spiritual plants grow by adding them to the soil... In short, they were hard currency in the heavens.

There are many kinds of spiritual stones, among which the five elements spiritual stones and the star spiritual stones are the best. The five elements spiritual stones have the power of the five elements, and how to use them is determined by the rules of generation and restraint. The star spiritual stones are infused with the power of the stars, and the combination of the main star spiritual stones and the auxiliary star spiritual stones will have a miraculous effect. The stronger the energy of the spiritual stone, the higher its price.

Ordinary spiritual stones are mostly spiritual ores mined from the spiritual mountains in the heavens. Their effects are weakened a lot, but their appearance is really beautiful. This kind of spiritual stone is crystal clear, pure and flawless, and emits various colors of brilliance. It seems to be more promising to make it into a decoration than as an auxiliary. Wang Wei also discovered this cave hidden behind the waterfall through these beams of light.

Spiritual stones are the currency of the heavens, and their use in the mortal world is only in the hands of the cultivators of the world's Xuanmen. For mortals, these things are almost the same as jade.

But after all, it is a divine object from heaven. If one finds a famous craftsman to carve it into a statue or directly makes it into jewelry or utensils, its value can soar. These are quite popular among the powerful in the imperial capital.

The rich and powerful have no qualifications for cultivation, but with only gold and silver, they can touch the spiritual objects in heaven with one hand. After drinking, they use their courage to call it "covering the sky with one hand", which is a good story in the mortal world to vindicate the mortals.

They sent people to place these stones in various places in the house, surrounded them with a circle of glass incense burners, and lit hundreds of borneol agarwood sticks. What a fairyland it is, with divine light surrounding every corner and spiritual energy floating back and forth.

"They are just some pretty-looking useless stones." Wang Wei took a quick look and came to the final conclusion.

"Although it's trash, mortals take spirit stones just for the sake of appearance." Huo Feng had already taken out the dagger he had prepared in advance and began to pack it into a bag.

Wang Wei was about to go into the cave to see if she could find anything good, but she heard a few people approaching from outside the waterfall. She motioned Huo Feng to go inside the cave, and as they walked deeper, they heard three people entering the cave.

"This secret realm doesn't look like there's anything special about it. It's just some spiritual plants and spiritual stones. I see that Lin'an Palace and the clan have never been short of these. Is there the magical artifact you mentioned here?" It was a familiar female voice.

"Little girl, you lack knowledge. Good things can be easily found by you. Then how can this place be called a secret place? I think the young master should be careful with his words and actions. Speak less and expose your ignorance less." This was a strange male voice that sounded a little old. He called out the respectful title, but one could hear a lot of sarcasm in his tone.

There were a few coughs nearby, and the old male voice spoke again, "Senior Xuan Yuzi, have you seen any secret treasures? You can take them. Manager An said that this secret realm is specially designed for the Lin'an Palace. In addition to completing the mission of our ancestor, we in the Yangyue An family are here to accompany you, senior..." Although he said this, his tone was still arrogant.

The only response he got was a cold snort.

"Senior Xuan Yuzi, are you dissatisfied with me?"

"Elder Feilan, this is a secret realm, not your palace, so don't put on airs. People who practice cultivation should be calm, reserved, humble and polite. You have been teaching this little girl a lesson all the way, and she is not annoyed, but I am!"

"Seniors, there is no need to argue for the juniors. Let's find that thing as soon as possible and leave here." The female voice said cautiously.

Hearing the words "future young master", Wang Wei was certain that this person was none other than An Wanshan, the scapegoat heir of the An family. The owner of the weird voice should be some elder of the An family, and the other one was obviously an elder of the Lin'an Palace.

Wang Wei sent a message to Huo Feng: "These people seem to be a mess. Is this the level of the An family?"

Huo Feng also replied with some doubt: "It seems that their real main force is gathered in the other two groups. I heard them talking outside before this trip. They came in to try their luck and find some secret treasure."

Wang Wei took a deep breath and said, "It's not such a coincidence that they are looking for the same thing as us..."

"Master, is the artifact we are looking for very common? How come someone else has found it?"

"It's impossible. No one in the world knows about this. Only you and I know it. Unless..." Wang Wei suddenly had a bad idea, "Unless they discovered the power in your body."

Wang Wei knew clearly in his heart that even if he was exposed, it was all because of her. That was——

Someone from the upper realm discovered that the demon god had lost his power and body, and learned that the body of the god would be attached to a divine artifact. Those divine artifacts were scattered everywhere, and as long as there were clues, they could be used to threaten her.

If this is the case, then we must stop them before the worst happens.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm holding you back again." Huo Feng lowered his eyes and couldn't see his expression clearly. Wang Wei patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way."

As long as a person dies in a secret place, no secrets can be revealed.

"What are you looking for? You don't take the main road, but squeeze into this narrow and secluded path! What kind of secret treasure is so shameful?" Yu Xuanzi's tone was very unfriendly.

There was silence for a moment, and the An clan elder Fei Lan replied: "It's hard to explain this matter in a few words. But the sect leader knows everything. Senior Yu Xuanzi is the master appointed by the sect leader to assist. As long as we cooperate..."

"Shut up." Yu Xuanzi interrupted coldly, "Don't play this on me. The master only told me to get you out safely, and didn't ask me to find anything. If you want my help, tell me the whole story. If you hide anything--" He didn't continue speaking.

Fei Lan sighed: "It's the ancestor. He is very upset about the death of the previous young master An Zhongyan..."

Hearing this, Wang Wei's pupils shrank slightly. If she continued listening, she was afraid that her identity would be exposed. She turned her head to look at the deep tunnel behind her, and pulled Huo Feng in without hesitation. It was unknown where these tunnels led to, but at least it was better than exposing herself in front of Huo Feng.

There are fewer and fewer ordinary spirit stones that are glowing faintly on both sides of the rock wall, and they are replaced by five elements spirit stones and star spirit stones. This also means that it is completely dark inside and there are unknown dangers.

"The fire starter doesn't work here. The spiritual energy is so dense that it can put out all ordinary fires." Huo Feng tried.

Water-based spells would not produce a light source, so Wang Wei used magic to forcibly condense a little light. The light only existed at his fingertips, no different from an ordinary spirit stone embedded in the rock wall.

Having been imprisoned in darkness for too long, she hated such darkness. She was not sure how long the road ahead would be and how long she would have to endure.

But what she was sure of was that there was a mountain-guarding beast in the cave, and judging from its aura, it must be extremely ferocious.

There are many forks in the tunnel. When you reach the center, some light leaks in from the cracks directly above you, and the light shines on the side rock walls and the ground.

"Is there light?" Wang Wei looked up.

Huo Feng carefully investigated the light and found that it was not light leaking from above, but a kind of insects disguised as skylight. They lined up in an orderly manner, forming a flawless picture of skylight pouring down. If you don't look carefully, you will mistake the insects for light sources.

Huo Feng carefully caught the insects and put them into a bag, tied up the bag, and made a lamp. The natural light was quite good and better than the ordinary flame kerosene lamp.

As long as life continues, light will last forever.

After the lamp bag was finished, he handed it to Wang Wei first. Wang Wei had no time to take care of the details at this moment. In her mind, she was trying to simulate the method of luring the ferocious beast to kill people, while at the same time she was troubled by the dark psychological shadow.

"Master, how are you now? Why don't we not go in, but collect around here, maybe they will dislike the darkness inside and won't go in anymore?"

"This is a secret place that is hard to come by in the mortal world for a century. They won't leave unless they turn this place upside down. I am more and more certain that the artifact is inside."

——Of course it’s not a divine weapon, it’s a ferocious beast.

Wang Wei thought that the place where the ferocious beasts roamed could not be controlled, and a scene of accidental death had to be created. It would be difficult to achieve all the requirements. But here was a ready-made one, so he might as well go for it without delaying any longer.

"Well, now that we are here, let's investigate carefully."

In a blink of an eye, Huo Feng had already made two lamps. The position of the insect he caught became empty, but in a moment, the empty black position was occupied by other insects, silently filling the hole. Everything returned to normal, and they looked like leaked skylight again.

The two of them carried lanterns and passed through countless cave tunnels that looked exactly the same. Wang Wei held the lanterns while Huo Feng pried the spirit stones and marked them. Because the tunnel was too dark, he had to break the ordinary spirit stones, leaving some dimly glowing fragments embedded on both sides of the tunnel.

If it were any other time, Wang Wei would definitely point out that Huo Feng's mark was too obvious and disadvantageous to them. But today, she wanted to use his mark to lure them into a trap. In this way, they finally reached the core area of ​​the entire cave.

Wang Wei had already deeply felt the breath of the giant beast. It was sleeping soundly, and its snoring was deafening, but it was cleverly combined with the sound of running water in the cave. If she hadn't sensed it with her spiritual sense, she would probably still be kept in the dark.

"It's dangerous here. We must explore carefully." She reminded Huo Feng.

The two walked out of the tunnel and saw an open area in front of them, but the road was full of strange rocks and blocked everywhere. The beast snored like thunder, shaking the nearby gravel on the ground, and sharp rocks kept falling from the top of the mountain and hitting the ground.

Wang Wei carefully used the huge rock as cover and approached the mountain beast. Huo Feng followed closely behind him, his nerves tensed. Apart from the battlefield in Tianshui, he had never seen any particularly terrifying beasts.

"With such a loud noise, it might be an ancient ferocious beast. Master, let's not have a head-on conflict for a while... okay?" As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Feng saw Wang Wei walking straight towards the giant beast. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed. Subconsciously, he wanted to stand in front of Wang Wei, but was stopped by the ancient knife that Wang Wei had taken out at some point.

The two of them had already arrived near the huge stone platform in the center, and the mountain-guarding beast had not yet woken up. The mountain-guarding beast was snow-white, with shiny fur, and covered with an almost holy and pure light.

Huo Feng frowned. It looked like... this wasn't an ancient ferocious beast, so what on earth had happened just now?

"Master, what kind of spirit beast is this?" Huo Feng turned his head and looked at Wang Wei in the light, but found that the aura around her was very... weird.

Disappointment, helplessness, disbelief, frustration and embarrassment... these complex emotions accumulated on the half of her face outside the mask.

"朏朏." Wang Wei said.

"What?" Huo Feng didn't react.

“…The guardian beast here is 朏朏, how could this happen…” Wang Wei’s tone sounded as if he was heartbroken.

The plan to randomly capture a ferocious beast and eat a person has been temporarily ruined.

"It's so cute. It reminds me of Xiao Bai."

While Wang was in a trance, Huo Feng had already flown onto the platform. The huge, pure white spirit beast groaned and woke up. It shook its fluorescent mane, and the long hair flew everywhere, illuminating the entire cave.

Wang was dazzled by the sudden flash of feathers. She held the ancient knife in front of her eyes, but the amount of feathers that fell was too great to be blocked by just a knife.

"A-choo--" Wang Wei began to sneeze non-stop. Huo Feng flew down and took her away from the place where Feimao invaded. Then the two of them landed gently on the high platform. She just saw the full appearance of the mountain-guarding beast.
