1840 The Battle of Demon Breath (1)
In three days, the village leader was responsible for collecting all the information Yun Feng needed, while Yun Feng and Yun Qingchen used these three days to enter the place where the so-called magical herbs were excavated. On a high slope in the wilderness not far away from the small mountain village, there were even withered trees that looked very desolate. Occasionally, a few brown-skinned lizards passed through. Apart from the withered trees and weeds, there wasn’t even a trace of buds on the vast high slope. It was extremely desolate.
Yun Feng looked at the terrain in front of her. “If that grass was really dug out from here, it’s not difficult to find. Qingchen, let’s find it.”
Yun Qingchen nodded. The two of them split up and searched. Yun Feng stepped into the Deadwood Forest and searched every area carefully with her eyes. Occasionally, a few auras of Magic Beasts flashed through the Deadwood Forest. They didn’t dare to get close to the two of them at all. They carefully hid their auras and lay low.
After searching for half a day, Yun Feng didn’t have any clues at all. Even if there were those herbs growing in such an environment, they definitely wouldn’t live for long. The environment was too harsh. Apart from withering and death, there didn’t seem to be any other way.
“Aunt, come and take a look!” Yun Qingchen’s voice came. Yun Feng immediately moved and rushed over. Yun Qingchen was standing under a dead tree and looking at the roots with his black eyes. After rushing over, Yun Feng also looked carefully. There was obviously a pit under the roots of the dead tree. The soil that was dug out was dark and contained a lot of water. It was obviously different from the surface. It was dug out from deeper underground. Someone had dug something here.
Yun Feng reached out and took a bit of soil. She put it in her palm and sensed it carefully with her mental strength. Even though the aura in the soil was faint, so faint that it almost couldn’t be detected, Yun Feng really felt it. This was an extraordinary aura, as if it had been exploited a lot. The remaining aura was gathered in the soil.
“Aunt, did you find anything?” Yun Qingchen stood up. Yun Feng smiled. “Qingchen, what do you think?”
Yun Qingchen looked at the dark soil under his feet and said, “The herbs they were talking about probably came from here. They’re not the Anhua Grass Spirit we’re looking for, but they must be related. Even though I don’t feel much, there seems to be an aura lingering in the soil.”
Yun Feng looked at Yun Qingchen in satisfaction. Even though her nephew’s power was only at the King Level, his senses were very keen. She could only vaguely sense it when she was at the God King Level. It wasn’t easy for her nephew to feel this at the King Level.
“The Anhua Grass Spirit must be here. Moxi is also here.” A smile flashed through Yun Feng’s black eyes. This trip was indeed worth it.
“Why are you so sure, Aunt?” Yun Qingchen was a bit confused. She could come to a conclusion with just a bit of soil?
Yun Feng shook the residue in her hand to the ground and said, “The aura in the soil is unusual. The soil that’s stained with just a trace of aura can give ordinary herbs magical effects, which shows how powerful the aura is. Where does the soil take nutrients?”
Yun Qingchen’s black eyes brightened. He lowered his head and looked at the dry ground under his feet. A gust of wind blew and some fine dust rose in the wind.
“Moxi is very likely underground.”
“But Aunt, if Moxi is really here, won’t we be discovered once we step in?”
Yun Feng chuckled. Before she left, her master told her a lot of things about Moxi and the Anhua Grass Spirit in detail, or she wouldn’t have been so sure. “Moxi is a kind of three-headed python. Three souls are stacked on the same body. His body has to withstand more pressure from the souls, so Moxi needs to sleep very frequently.”
“Sleep?” Yun Qingchen was surprised. Yun Feng nodded and walked out with her nephew. “A short hibernation can ease the pressure of the three coexisting souls. The Anhua Grass Spirit accompanied Moxi during his short hibernation.”
“The pressure of the three souls is probably very astonishing,” whispered Yun Qingchen. Yun Feng nodded. “Even though the body is under pressure, a short hibernation can greatly ease it. The energy of Moxi is very powerful, especially his control of the soul.”
Yun Feng sighed softly. “Moxi can control the soul. Once he controls the soul, you won’t be able to escape death.”
Yun Qingchen’s face darkened. “So, it’s quite easy to get the Anhua Grass Spirit. The head of Moxi… doesn’t seem possible.”
Yun Feng chuckled. “Didn’t I say that Moxi needs frequent short hibernation? During the hibernation, Moxi will fall into a deep sleep. As long as the Anhua Grass Spirit isn’t touched, Moxi won’t wake up.”
Yun Qingchen widened his eyes. “Isn’t the Anhua Grass Essence that comes with hibernation like a warning line?”
Yun Feng nodded. “That’s right. The two of them accompany each other. Moxi that enters dormancy doesn’t have any attacking power. As long as the Anhua Grass Spirit isn’t touched, it won’t open its eyes even if its life is taken. On the contrary, as long as someone carelessly touches the Anhua Grass Spirit, Moxi will wake up immediately.”
Yun Qingchen understood. “So, it’s not difficult to take its head. We’ll cut off its head first and then take it to the Anhua Grass Spirit. Then we just have to turn around and escape as quickly as possible!”
“That’s right. To take these two things in the safest situation, we must ensure that there’s no interference from external forces. Once the Anhua Grass Spirit is touched and Moxi wakes up, it’s impossible for us to take its head. Even with my current strength, it’s impossible.”
“Is that why you plan to completely eliminate those restless forces in the Outland?”
Yun Feng smiled and didn’t say anything. Yun Qingchen chuckled and suddenly thought of something. “Will it be life-threatening if Moxi’s head is cut off?”
Yun Feng shook her head. “Don’t worry about that. The head of Moxi will regenerate after it’s lost. After all, his three souls are intact. We want the head, not the soul.”
Yun Qingchen nodded. “Yes, no matter what we do, we must leave a way out.”
Yun Feng chuckled. “It’s not bad for Qingchen to have such a mentality. No matter how good a thing is, we can’t take it unlimitedly.”
