A ray of light rose from the east sky and quickly spread in all directions. Before long, it lit up the entire area.
"Plop!" "Plop …"
The ground shook violently, and Gu Feng suddenly opened his eyes, it seemed to be the Iron Bear Beast from the Floating Cloud City City's camp.
This was a battle beast that could only be equipped by people above the level of deputy commanders in the City Guards Camp!
He subconsciously gripped the ivory bone blade tightly, holding his breath as his heart rose to his throat. He was prepared to face any enemy that entered the cave.
Maybe only half an incense stick of time had passed.
Perhaps a century had passed.
The ground continued to shake and gradually became further away. The Iron Bear War Beast left, but Gu Feng did not dare to relax.
Sure enough, not long after, another series of messy beast hooves passed outside the cave, chasing in the direction of the Iron Bear Beast's disappearance.
Two hours later, two figures quietly floated past the cave entrance and stopped at the top of the hill.
"I'm afraid that the young man that First Miss spoke of has already died in the hands of Battle Soul Academy's Dark Iron Hunter." a high-pitched voice said.
"Hmph, the amount of spirit cultivators in the Battle Soul Academy is getting more and more excessive. With the pressure of the Spirit Firmament Hall, we can guard our duty, but once we reach the border, we become more and more arrogant. Hearing that Dark Iron Hunter didn't even allow the young miss to reveal her identity, he suppressed her. If not for the Soul Devouring Beast crazily assaulting the Floating Cloud City, and the Xiao Zhen from the Hall of Treasures personally killing it, and saving the young miss, who knows what might have happened to it! " Another cold voice said.
"Oh yeah, a corpse was found at the City Guards Camp. After Battle Soul Academy was identified by Mo Yuan, they said that the victim was a Spirit Cultivator from Battle Soul Academy. Do you think that it's possible that it's that Dark Iron Hunter?" The first voice guessed.
"If Eldest Miss says no, then she definitely isn't! You and I have received many years of kindness from the City Lord, could it be that we cannot even differentiate between the important and minor matters? " The clear and cold voice reprimanded: "Don't forget, our mission is to go out of the city to find that Dark Iron Hunter and that youth that young miss mentioned!"
"Hehe, Marquis Wu knows that you are wrong. I hope Brother Luo will forgive me." The thin voice then laughed again, "Hehe, you said that Eldest Miss is going to be married to First Young Master of Chu Family in nine days. What is with a young man outside the city in the middle of the night? "Hee hee …"
"Marquis, shut your mouth!" Luo Ming scolded.
Their voices gradually faded away until they completely disappeared. Only then did Gu Feng let go of the ivory bone blade in his hand and stretched his stiff limbs.
After the battle that day, in order to avoid being discovered by the people of the city, Gu Feng placed Qin Ling on top of the Soul Devouring Beast and drove it towards the Floating Cloud City.
But it was only a matter of time! He sighed inwardly.
At that time, he was in a state of panic and could only remember to destroy Ye Han's identity, but he forgot to ruin his appearance. That move also caused Mo Yuan to come from the same Battle Soul Academy, so they probably had seen each other before.
However, Mo Yuan recognized Ye Han. Qin Ling should also remember this person, so why would he purposely lie?
Could it be that there was some sort of secret behind it?
Gu Feng frowned and took out the small bag that he found on Ye Han's body.
This damned ghost actually had a powerful spiritual medium attached to his body, causing him to put in so much effort for an Awakened spiritual cultivator. Could it be that there was something important inside?
Borrowing the sunlight from outside, Gu Feng turned the small bag upside down and weighed it in his hand. Surprisingly, nothing came out of the heavy bag.
His heart skipped a beat and his finger reached into the bag. As expected, his entire hand was sucked into the bag.
The pouch was only the size of a palm, but it had a space of more than three feet inside.
It was indeed a Storage Bag made from the skin of a Pixiu beast!
This was a good item. Just with this Storage Bag, he would be able to get a few thousand gold at the Floating Cloud City auction.
While being surprised, Gu Feng took out the items one by one.
The first to appear were a dozen or so Spirit Elemental Bone Granule, some big and some little, with different colors.
But what made Gu Feng surprised was that out of the dozen or so Spirit Elemental Bone Granule, not a single one was as red as the mammoth.
"Is this blood-colored bone grain that rare?"
He temporarily restrained the thought of immediately fusing these Spirit Elemental Bone Granule and continued to dig.
In next to no time, a tattered azure robe full of filth was pulled out by him.
"Why are you hiding a sleeve inside?"
Gu Feng looked carefully and found that the dirt he thought was an incomplete map.
Perhaps the person drawing was too anxious as the handwriting was erratic. There were many places where only a few strokes were needed, and only two parts were important. For the sake of importance, they were actually replaced with blood.
Gu Feng carefully examined it for a long time before he realized that the picture depicted something that seemed to be within the wasteland.
Of the two key areas, one was a mountain filled with strange stones, and the other was a cave with a small gray ape.
"Gray ape?"
Gu Feng's eyes lit up. Could it be that this is the little guy that he saw at Unmarked Burial Hill yesterday? If it was it, then the place where this map fragment was drawn should not be that far from the Floating Cloud City.
Unfortunately, the portion of the sleeve that should have a description had already been torn off. It was a strange mountain, and there was no way to guess what exactly the gray little ape was hiding.
Gu Feng thought about it and put away his sleeves.
He continued to rummage through the Storage Bag, and in the end, pulled out a fist-sized, strangely shaped black jade box.
The jade box's lid was carved into the shape of a lotus, and its base was a square piece of black jade. The jade was warm and smooth, and its tentacles were ice-cold. Obviously, it was an extraordinary item. However, between the lotus flower box's lid and the black jade box's body, there were a few strange diagrams attached. The patterns glowed and rippled, and a Spiritual Energy could faintly be seen.
"Spirit Pattern Array?"
Gu Feng frowned, if he wanted to open the jade box, he would have to destroy these Spirit Pattern Array s.
He hesitated for a moment before placing the jade box to the side. He then picked up the Spirit Elemental Bone Granule s.
It had already been a day and a night since he drank any water, Gu Feng's stomach was already empty. Although these Spirit Elemental Bone Granule were different from the mammoth's bone grains he swallowed previously, they were still great tonic for him.
Although Gu Feng already knew that his blood could restrain the power of the Spirit Tattoo, he did not know the use of the Spirit Pattern Array on the jade box.
He tried to put a thumb sized Spirit Elemental Bone Granule into his mouth and bit down. Crack!
"As expected, experience is the cause of death!" He forced a smile and spat out the Spirit Elemental Bone Granule.
They thought that all Spirit Elemental Bone Granule were the same as the blood bone of the Mammoth Elephant! The entrance was melting!
However, he was not discouraged, it swallowing Spirit Elemental Bone Granule was already an abnormal move, now that he was hiding in the cave, he had the time to use the correct method to absorb the Spirit Qi from the Spirit Elemental Bone Granule.
