C161 The Place of the Treasure

Ye Feng followed closely behind these people. Everything seemed very calm. However, when the group advanced about thirty miles... This group welcomed a large-scale attack. Five Rank Three Red Flame Lions suddenly charged from five different directions.

After the Red Flame Lions charged into the crowd, they opened their mouths and released large fireballs. Immediately, many people were burned.

This kind of profound beast was one of the many types of profound beast in the Kongtong Mountain Range. This kind of profound beast had the strength of an Innate Expert. However, the most terrifying thing was that the flames they spewed out contained an extremely tyrannical fire poison. These fire poison would spread out from within a person's body. If they were not treated in time, their lives would be in danger.

When the team was attacked, the three Dragon Realm experts immediately attacked. A few sword Qis flashed past. A few Red Flame Lions were dismembered on the spot.

The few of them stepped forward and skillfully took out the Crystal Core from the Blood Flame Lion's head.

After everyone finished off the Crimson Flame Lions, the injured people also took out the ___. He was sent to the back of the team for treatment by the apothecaries.

There was a female Rank-4 alchemist in the team. This apothecary was the main target of the group's protection. She was surrounded in the middle of the team, outside of her... She was heavily guarded by the members of the Gu family.

Ye Feng noticed the female alchemist. Her beautiful face was filled with an ethereal aura. She had a pair of big bright eyes. The pure white alchemist robe she was wearing had become dirty. However, she still looked incomparably holy. This woman should have a light attribute constitution.

Generally, women with light and water attributes. They were all very beautiful. Light and water type female cultivator were always very popular in cultivator. Quite a number of rich disciples also cast their gazes towards these female alchemists.

"Miss Yunxi, I'll have to trouble you to treat their injuries." A middle-aged man wearing silver armor walked up to the female alchemist and said respectfully.

"Yunxi? Not a bad name."

Ye Feng, who was hiding in the dark, glanced at the female alchemist. He had to admit that the female alchemist in front of him was indeed a good teacher. At least, her temperament was very attractive.

"Guild Leader is too polite, this is my duty to begin with" Yunxi sweetly smiled at the silver-armored middle-aged man.

"Hehe, then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Yunxi."

Yun Xi nodded. She first checked the bodies of the poisoned people, then began to concoct pills for them.

Half an hour later, the pill was refined. Her smooth forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Her expression seemed to be a little tired.

Ye Feng saw those people who were burned by the fire. After eating the pill that Yun Xi refined, the wounds on the surface of his body were rapidly healing.

However, Ye Feng could see that the space between their brows was still somewhat black. It was very clear that the fire poison on those people's bodies had not been dissolved. It was still spreading inside their bodies.

"Uncle Qing, if we can find that thing this time, will Grandfather be able to make a breakthrough smoothly?"

One. A gigolo asked the square-faced middle-aged man in the team.

"There should be a high chance of breaking through. The old patriarch has been stuck in that realm for a long time. However, it's not that easy to break through that realm. However, once he breaks through successfully... Hmph! "

Two cold lights flashed across Li Changfeng's eyes. A faint aura emitted from his body. Sensing this aura from Zhang Hui's body, Li Junze's expression changed slightly.

"Uncle Qing - - -"

"It's good that you know, don't make a sound. I also broke through not too long ago. To be safe, my strength cannot be completely exposed in front of others." The square-faced man looked at the mercenary leader and slowly said.

"Uncle Qing, are we guarding against them? Even if we give them ten guts, they wouldn't dare to offend our Gu family! Unless they don't want to live anymore. " The adonis' gaze swept across the people in the mercenary group and his face was full of disdain.

"Hehe, the thing we're looking for this time, anyone will covet it. Under absolute benefits. There's nothing these outlaws wouldn't dare to do. Furthermore, that Liao Yitu isn't simple." The square-faced middle-aged man said with a solemn expression.

"If they dare to have any disloyalty at that time, don't blame us for being impolite. However, that Cloud Creek is able to easily resolve the fire poison on those people's bodies. Will he discover the poison in their bodies?" The adonis said worriedly.

"Hehe, don't worry about that. This poison... It was created using the secret formula of our Gu family. No one else would be able to discover it. However, the cost of creating this kind of poison is too high, and the family doesn't have a lot of stock. " The square-faced middle-aged man smiled confidently.

This square-faced man was called Gu Changqing. He was the leader of the Gu family this time. The pretty boy's name was Gu Chengen, and he was one of the five heroes of the Kongtong, Young Master Huang Tu.

After resting for a while, the group set off again in a hurry.

"Kid, have you found anything?"

The King Pharmacist's voice echoed in Ye Feng's mind.

"I seem to have found something!" Ye Feng nodded his head and replied in his heart, "It seems like these people are poisoned, and it is a kind of chronic poison! It seems like only the mercenaries were poisoned, and that alchemist was poisoned as well!"

"Hehe!" The Medicine King laughed, "At that time, the outside world will use a few more methods to trigger the hidden poison in these people's bodies, causing them to lose their ability to fight!"

"This Gu family is really despicable. They actually use such a sinister method. I'm afraid that very few people will be able to discover such a poison. " Ye Feng knew in his heart that the cultivation technique he cultivated was the Heaven's Creation Scroll. It was very sensitive to poison.

"Everyone, follow me. After crossing two valleys, we will reach our destination this time." Liao Yitu said loudly in front of them.

After walking for about twenty to thirty miles, after crossing a valley, Ye Feng found that the trees in front of him were getting thinner and thinner. Furthermore, Ye Feng had an ominous feeling in his heart.

When they arrived here, Ye Feng and the others stopped.

"Everyone, stay here and rest. We will depart tomorrow at noon!" Liao Yitu said to everyone.

Just like that, everyone set up camp until noon the next day. Only then did they set off again.

The people around them were all silent. Concentrating, they carefully walked through the forest that was gradually becoming sparse.

Finally, they crossed the second valley. Everyone couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of them.

Looking around, it was a green mountain range.

"Don't move!" Gu Changqing stood in front of the group and stopped everyone.

Ye Feng and the others didn't know what Gu Changqing was going to do. However, none of them dared to move.

Everyone just stood there quietly.

"Hu!" A strong wind started blowing on the plain in front of them. Then, dark clouds started rolling in the sky.

"Rumble!" Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. In an instant, there was a heavy rainstorm.

At this moment, the Medicine King suddenly appeared next to Ye Feng. Raising his head to look at the mountain range in front of him, his expression was somewhat agitated. "So that's how it is. I finally understand why those super experts were unable to find the sealed land!"

"Why?" Ye Feng could not help but ask.

The Medicine King smiled and said, "Because this sealed land is covered by an ancient grand formation. This grand formation is very powerful. Right now, the energy of this grand formation is starting to dry up. Otherwise, no one would be able to find this place! The map fragment from before, the ultimate location... This should be the place! Who would have thought that the people of the Gu Clan would also obtain the map fragment!"

Just as the Medicine King was speaking, the surrounding people cried out in alarm. Ye Feng suddenly looked up and saw a green and lush mountain range in front of him. Like a mirror, inch by inch, it shattered. The last lifeless valley appeared in their line of sight.

The towering ancient trees grew on the vast land in an orderly fashion. However, these trees were different from the trees in the valley.

These trees didn't have leaves. They seemed to have dried up. Only the tree trunk was left. There was a kind of gray fog in the middle of the trees. It looked lifeless.

Looking at the terrain in front of him, Ye Feng's mind was filled with a loud bang. He immediately realized that the terrain in front of him was the same as the map he had drawn on the map.

"This is the place we are looking for?" Ye Feng was very excited.

Ye Feng looked at the huge tree in front of him and gazed into the distance. It seemed that behind these trees, he could vaguely see giant trees standing tall. No, it should be some huge stone statues.

The Medicine King's eyes were filled with endless vicissitudes of life.

"Hahaha, as expected, it's true. This is the place." Gu Changqing was holding a map in his hand. He looked at the huge tree in front of him and smiled excitedly.

Hearing Gu Changqing's excited laughter, everyone woke up. Everyone had a look of joy on their faces.

However, Liao Yitu furrowed his brows tightly. He walked in front of Gu Changqing and said, "Brother Changqing, do you know where this place is?"

Hearing Liao Yitu's question, Ye Feng knew. Even Liao Yitu must not have known that the place Gu Changqing and the others were coming to was this place.

"Hehe, since things have come to this, there's no harm in telling you. This place is a grand formation left behind from the ancient times." Gu Changqing squinted his eyes and said while looking at the faintly visible giant stone statues in the fog.

"What are we doing here?" Liao Yitu looked at Gu Changqing and asked in confusion.

"Humph! This is not something you can know. Your mission is to help us get what we want. As for the rest, it's best not to ask."

Gu Changqing turned around and said coldly to Liao Yitu.

"Hmph!" Liao Yitu snorted in dissatisfaction. Gu Changqing was right. As mercenaries, since he had made a promise in advance, he would not force Gu Changqing to reveal any information to him. Of course, whether he could force it or not was another matter.

"Haha, ask your people to follow us!" Seeing Liao Yitu's expression, Gu Changqing smiled and shook his head.

"Everyone listen up. When you enter, it's best to be at ease. Don't let me cause any trouble." Liao Yitu's deep voice was clearly heard by everyone present.

When everyone stepped onto the valley. They all felt a sense of oppression climbing up their hearts.

Everyone walked under the tall ancient tree. Only then did they feel that this ancient tree was tall.

The entire valley seemed extremely quiet.

After a long time, everyone finally passed through the area where the Tree of Death was. A series of huge statues appeared in front of them. Some of these statues stood on the ground, while others fell.

There was a black aura of death lingering around the statues.
