Chapter 768: Ghost Medicine Granny, Green Soul Pearl!
"This place is too dangerous!!"
One-eyed Bald sighed, "We've been here for more than ten days, unable to see even a glimmer of light, as if we're in endless darkness, it's absolutely torturous. Moreover, many of our brothers have gone mad and died due to it."
"We've also encountered other treasure hunters, and their situations were very tragic. Some died, some went insane, and many were eaten by monsters, leaving only bones."
"We tried every means to escape, but we couldn't find a way out."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Qingcheng asked again, "What kind of monsters are there?"
"It's too dark to see anything here, really can't see, we can only see two green, large, egg-sized eyeballs, it's terrifying," said One-eyed Bald.
"Green eyes?"
At this moment, Qin Feng wondered for a moment, then pointing towards their rear, said, "Are they like those?"
A dozen people turned their heads to look, then said, "Yes, exactly those kind of green beads."
After speaking,
Everyone was stunned.
Turning their heads back, wasn't that the monster?!
"Ah—!!"
Terrified, they hurriedly scrambled behind Qin Feng and Qingcheng.
Qin Feng immediately drew the Life and Death Blade, looking at those two green, gleaming eyes, slowly approaching.
Boom!
The flame on his finger ignited once again.
This time it was a half-meter tall flame, instantly illuminating the area!
At this moment, seeing the illuminated monster, everyone screamed in horror again: "Ah—!! It's too terrifying, oh my god!!"
That monster,
Turned out to be a huge lizard with a crocodile-like mouth!
Rough-skinned, with a massive mouth, and green eerie eyes the size of eggs, extremely terrifying!
"Roar—!!"
Blinded by the light, the giant lizard instantly opened its gigantic mouth and lunged at Qin Feng and the others.
Swoosh—!!
Before the others could react,
Qin Feng had already instantly moved, flashing past the giant lizard!
A stream of fresh blood spurted out.
The giant lizard was instantly killed and lay motionless on the ground.
At that moment,
One-eyed Bald and the others were all dumbfounded, muttering, "So, so powerful..."
Qin Feng, puzzled, said, "Aren't you all Grandmasters? Should you be afraid of a monster?"
"Young, young man, you don't understand, this, this monster is not ordinary..." One-eyed Bald was still in shock, "We, we've teamed up against it before, but it has copper skin and iron bones, extremely fast; even a Third Grade Grandmaster can hardly compete with it, let alone in this endlessly dark place..."
"Third Grade Grandmaster can hardly compete? Copper skin and iron bones?"
Qin Feng blankly looked at the giant lizard he had instantly killed.
The others were also very astonished.
They had no idea how Qin Feng managed to kill it instantly.
Qin Feng thought for a moment, figuring it might be because of his Life and Death Blade, he didn't ponder further. However, he suddenly remembered something and asked One-eyed Bald, "Wait, you said this monster has copper skin and iron bones, and is very fast?"
"Yes!" Everyone nodded.
Qin Feng then became puzzled and walked over to the monster's corpse to examine it.
Judging by the aura emitted from this monster, it was just an ordinary monster, roughly at the power level of a First-grade Grandmaster.
It shouldn't be "copper skinned and iron boned," or "incredibly fast."
Hesitating for a moment,
Qin Feng once again raised the Life and Death Blade, slashing open the monster's abdomen.
Astonishingly,
He found a bead inside it!
The bead was only the size of a fingernail, emitting a strange greenish glow, just like the color of the monster's eyes.
"I understand, it's this thing!"
Qin Feng suddenly exclaimed.
Qingcheng came over, looked at the bead, and said with a frown, "This is the 'Green Soul Pearl'!"
Green Soul Pearl!
It is a kind of bead that can enhance monsters, fierce beasts, spiritual beasts, and so on.
However.
Taking the Green Soul Pearl also means losing one's mind, becoming completely enslaved to the master of the bead, and losing the potential to grow further, like a walking dead that only obeys its master's commands.
"Could she be here?"
A trace of worry flashed across Qingcheng's face.
"Who?"
"Ghost Medicine Granny!"
Qingcheng said, "Of the people I know, only she has made this kind of thing, but she suddenly disappeared more than a decade ago and there has been no news of her. Everyone thought she might have been struck by divine retribution for her misdeeds, but it turns out she's still alive!"
Saying this.
Her eyes filled with concern, she said to Qin Feng, "I think we should figure out a way to get out first, then plan for the long term."
"That's a good idea."
Qin Feng turned around to look at One-eyed Bald and others, saying, "You guys have come at the right time. I have thought of a way to get out of here..."
He shared his idea of "digging out" with them.
Many hands make light work.
With their help in digging, it would be twice as effective.
However, upon hearing this plan, One-eyed Bald and the others looked dumbfounded and said, "Brother, do you know how thick this mountain is? If we dig like this, how long will it take to get out..."
"That's true."
Qin Feng thought for a moment, then took out more than a dozen Heavenly Rank Divine Weapons and said, "In this case, I'll lend you these divine weapons. It'll be much easier to dig with these."
Everyone was shocked and their eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing the Heavenly Rank Divine Weapons.
None of the dozen or so people owned a Heavenly Rank Divine Weapon, not even One-eyed Bald who was the leader of the Grade Four Grandmasters, so seeing so many Heavenly Rank Divine Weapons was astonishing.
It couldn't be helped.
Big Snake Castle had always been poor, and even if they had money, it would usually go into feeding snakes or cultivating, leaving no spare cash for crafting equipment.
"How about that? Using Heavenly Rank Divine Weapons to dig the hole, along with each of you being a Grandmaster, it shouldn't take too long to dig out, right?"
Qin Feng added.
One-eyed Bald and others exchanged glances, then suddenly knelt down in front of Qin Feng with a "thud," saying, "Brother!! Please help us! We can't leave now! Without finding the 'Snake Heart,' our Big Snake Castle will be wiped out. With the Heavenly Rank Divine Weapons and your fire providing light, we have a chance of finding the 'Snake Heart'!"
"...I lent you the divine weapons for digging." Qin Feng was embarrassed.
"Brother, please!!"
"..."
Embarassed, Qin Feng looked at their sincere expressions, then after a moment of thought, he turned to Qingcheng and said, "What about, keeping going forward? Don't worry, I'm here."
"If you're not afraid, I naturally have no objections." Qingcheng shrugged, "I was worried about you, that's why I wanted to get out first."
"The same goes for me, I was worried about you, that's why I agreed to get out." Qin Feng said embarrassingly, "Since that's the case, let's continue forward!"
One-eyed Bald and the others, upon hearing this, tearfully thanked them both.
Qingcheng watched Qin Feng's silhouette and a smile curled on her lips.
He was worried about himself, so he wanted to get out?
Turns out he's quite thoughtful.
Next.
With the aid of Qin Feng's flame.
Their journey was also made twice as effective.
At this moment.
There were two holes in the path ahead. As everyone was debating which one to take, a monster's roar came from the left hole!!
"Quick, to the right, go back!"
Everyone hastily said.
But Qin Feng, with wide eyes and a look of eagerness, exclaimed, "To the left!"
