Chapter 154: Continuing to Delve Deeper

  A thrilling and bloody battle ended in the victory of the mercenaries, which lasted from midnight to dawn, with more than half of the mercenaries' men lost.

  Even such a loss has already made Yan Xingfei feel satisfied, saying that the mercenaries have achieved their final victory is not as good as saying that Ye Feng has achieved his final victory. If it weren't for Ye Feng and several of his subordinates, the branch of the Crazy Tiger Mercenary Group in the Barbaric Wilderness would not exist.

  Yan Xuxing deeply knew the strength of his own family, and this time it was the young man in front of him who looked like he was not yet twenty years old that had saved the Crazy Tiger Mercenary Group.

  "Brother Ye, I won't say more words of gratitude. In the future, if Brother Ye needs any help from Yan Xuhang and the Mercenary Group of Wild Tigers, just speak up, Yan Xuhang will not refuse even if it means death." Yan Xuhang tightly grasped Ye Feng's palm with both hands.

  "Yan Ge, you're being too polite by saying that." Ye Feng chuckled and this time he was also helplessly dragged into the situation. Everything was just a coincidence, but fortunately none of his people were injured. Since they had already helped them, why not say some polite words to make themselves appear even more magnanimous?

  Yan Xing ordered his mercenaries to clean up the battlefield, while he invited Ye Feng and others back into the mercenary group's internal quarters, where all sorts of delicious dishes and fine wines were laid out before them.

  Mercenaries are like that, fortunate to have narrowly escaped again, and also saddened by the death of their companions.

  Ye Feng and his men stayed in the Mercenary Guild of Wild Tiger for a few days, gaining a deeper understanding of the barbaric land, before leaving. Although Yan Xun felt extremely reluctant to part with Ye Feng, it was impossible for him to keep Ye Feng here forever.

  Ye Feng and his men rode on the Little Red, heading deep into the wilderness. According to Yan Xuexing's words, if they wanted to obtain higher-level spiritual medicine and heavenly treasures, they had to venture deeper in. Even if they saw a few spiritual medicines on the periphery, those were already owned by others.

  When Ye Feng mentioned the encounter with the divine alligator, Yan Xuhang was almost scared to death. Yan Xuhang said that this divine alligator had been guarding that spiritual herb for at least a hundred years or more. Many cultivators and spiritual beasts had tried to steal the spiritual herb before, but they all died unexpectedly at the hands of the divine alligator. If it weren't for Ye Feng's group being lucky and having high-level spiritual beasts come to fight over the spiritual herb, I'm afraid that none of them would have been able to leave.

  It is said that at the beginning, more than a dozen Yuan Ying period masters joined forces to enter the territory of Shen E, wanting to compete for that spiritual medicine, but unexpectedly, just one move was enough for Shen E to kill them all.

  Ye Feng and others broke out in cold sweat, Ye Feng was arrogant, but he wouldn't think that his current strength was stronger than a dozen or so Yuan Ying period experts. What level of cultivation the Divine Crocodile was at, no one knew.

  However, Yan Xuexing also told Ye Feng that the spiritual medicine from a hundred years ago was in its current state, emitting a faint fragrance did not mean it had matured, otherwise the Divine Crocodile would have swallowed it long ago, and there wouldn't be any left now.

  Ye Feng left a message before leaving, saying that this spiritual medicine would definitely be his in the future. Regarding Ye Feng's confidence, Yan Xuexing just smiled and didn't think Ye Feng really had such strength. Wanting to challenge Shen E, even multiple Yuan Ying stages wouldn't be enough, with the same outcome.

  As one delves deeper, the desolation of the wilderness becomes more apparent. Towering trees stretch towards the sky and dense undergrowth covers the entire ground.

  High in the air, various birds of prey appear from time to time. A huge cow-headed bird grasps a ten-meter-long giant python and flies up to a distant cliff face. At the top of the cliff is its nest, where the python becomes food for the young chicks inside. Seeing their mother bring back food, several chicks pounce on it at once, and soon the python turns into a perfect skeleton.

  Ye Feng and others stood on the branches of a large tree, staring blankly at everything in front of them. Such an astonishing situation can only be seen in the wilderness, where else can you see such a magnificent scene except in the wilderness?

  Ye Feng didn't even dare to breathe, fearing that this ferocious beast would discover the tracks of several people.

  It's unclear whether the beast's cubs were full or if the few people were simply too insignificant, not enough to fill the gaps between the beast's teeth. The cow-headed bird didn't even glance at Ye Feng.

  A few people tried to lower their voices and avoid the precipice, going around it.

  "There's a disturbance in the distance!" Wu Liang perked up his ears and heard a faint noise.

  "I'm telling you, Wu Liang, your ears are sharp enough. Last time you heard some noise and it ended up with us fighting the Flame Ape. This time you'd better make up for it and not listen to rumors." Liu Mang said with a smile, these guys were all about personal gain and had gotten nothing out of helping the Crazy Tiger Mercenary Group last time, so they were feeling a bit uncomfortable.

  "Go away, last time you were also a mess, can't all blame me." Wu Liang muttered to himself, he didn't expect that kind of thing to happen last time either.

  "Stop beating around the bush, Wu Liang. Hurry up and listen, what is that sound?" Tang Jing Tian's words still carried a certain authority, two out of three people listened to him.

  Wu Liang gave Liu Meng a glance, his ears slightly trembling, and his facial expression froze. He seemed to be listening to a distant sound. After a while, Wu Liang said: "Something unknown has happened in the distance, many spiritual beasts are fleeing in terror, as if some extremely powerful spiritual beast has arrived."

  After a while, Wu Liang showed a satisfied expression, "Now I can hear clearly, it should be two spiritual beasts fighting, and they seem to be very fierce, completely disregarding their lives."

  "Wu Liang, so your ears are fine now, did you hear that clearly?" Liu Mang said with a smile.

  "This remark was made without considering who I am, how could Wu Liang possibly mishear?" Wu Liang was full of confidence.

  "Go, take a look." Ye Feng made up his mind. Such a good thing can't be found anywhere else. Two spiritual beasts fighting each other might end up with both being injured, and at that time, he could take advantage of the situation. This was the scenario Ye Feng most wanted to see happen.

  A few people didn't dare to fly in high altitude, and as for the speed on the ground, none of the three could catch up with Ye Feng, so Ye Feng sent the three back to the physical world. He performed "shrinking the earth into an inch" and rushed towards the direction of the sound.

  Along the way, I saw many spiritual beasts rushing frantically towards the distance, as if there was a terrifying existence chasing after them. There were spiritual beasts equivalent to the Golden Core stage, and even those equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage.

  Ye Feng was even more expectant, if it were a low-grade spiritual beast, it would no longer be worthy of Ye Feng's attention.

  Seeing the spiritual beasts rushing over from a distance, Ye Feng still wanted to dodge, but these spiritual beasts seemed to have not seen Ye Feng and hastily passed by his side without stopping.

  This made Ye Feng even more certain that the spiritual beast fighting in the distance was definitely of an absolute higher rank.

  This phenomenon of the large-scale escape of these spiritual beasts indicates that the distant battle is extremely fierce, to the extent that not a single spiritual beast dares to stay nearby, not even daring to watch from afar, fearing they would suffer the misfortune of being affected by the turmoil.

  Ye Feng quickly rushed towards the battlefield, and after running for dozens of miles, he finally heard some sounds of fighting.

  "Boom!" A small hill was affected by the aftermath of the battle and became a flat land.

  "Hiss!" A vast expanse of ancient forest was instantly drained of all its moisture by a powerful blast, transforming in an instant into a sea of raging flames.

  Ye Feng slowed down his footsteps, this aura was really too powerful, although not as strong as the battle between Shen E and Lu Jiao Hu, but it was stronger than many Yuan Ying period.

  Although a master in the Embryonic Breathing stage can also destroy a small mountain, it must be that all attacks are placed on the small mountain, and just the residual waves can flatten the small mountain, indicating that the cultivation of both parties has already exceeded the Embryonic Breathing stage.

  Hesitating for a moment, Ye Feng thought about whether he should continue advancing or dodge.

  A battle of this level was absolutely unbearable for Ye Feng, and even the slightest ripple would cause him to be crushed to pieces.

  Curiosity ultimately overcame fear, and Ye Feng decided to go and take a look. If it really didn't work out, he could still hide in the inner world of his body.

  Once decided, Ye Feng immediately advanced towards the battlefield.

  Even tens of miles away from the battlefield, Ye Feng could feel the pressure emanating from it, causing his blood to surge and giving him a somewhat uncontrollable feeling.

  The confrontation of the high-ranking spiritual beast is indeed terrifying, and I can still feel this pressure even from such a distance.

  In a state of shock, Ye Feng became even more cautious and didn't dare to make any noise. Perhaps with just a casual gesture from the distant spiritual beast, he would lose his life.

  When Ye Feng approached the battlefield within a distance of less than ten miles, he discovered the true bodies of the two parties engaged in combat.

  A small mountain-like old turtle swung its two short and thick forelimbs, fighting with a snow-white leopard.

  The leopard's body was much smaller than the old turtle, only about ten zhang in length. In front of the old turtle, it looked like a toy that could jump up and down.

  But the leopard's victory lies in its bodily agility, each jump dissolving the old turtle's attack.

  "Pffft!" The leopard spat out a puff of white mist, and the air temperature dropped immediately. The entire sky and earth seemed to have solidified in an instant, and Ye Feng felt the temperature dropping rapidly even from his distance.

  The white mist spewed out by the leopard will wrap up the old turtle and turn it into a crystal clear ice sculpture.

  "Crack!" A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the old turtle's paw shattered the ice sculpture that wrapped around it. Its body slowly emerged from inside, and the leopard's attack missed its mark.

  The old turtle's paw slapped down towards the leopard, its massive paws covering the sky and earth, completely sealing off the space in front of the leopard.

  "Whoosh!" The leopard emerged at an incredible speed from a very strange angle, dodging the old turtle's attack.

  This battle is too abnormal, Ye Feng weighed in his heart, if Sanlang went up, he would probably be killed by the two spiritual beasts in an instant, either being slapped to death by Lao Gui or becoming an ice sculpture under the big mouth of the leopard.

  Seeing such a battle, Ye Feng felt somewhat disheartened. Not to mention that the two spiritual beasts might not necessarily be able to determine a winner, even if they did, he wouldn't be able to gain any benefits from it.

  Even if he was seriously injured, he had no way to fight back.

  Thinking of this, Ye Feng was about to leave.
