The top-grade crystal on the Crystal King's chest was thoroughly shattered by Yun Feng's punch, and surprisingly, inside the Crystal King's chest cavity wasn't solid but a vacuum, with another world within! Yun Feng's palm ruthlessly probed inward, that eye flashing with light suddenly flickered, Yun Feng only felt his hand brush against a sensation, a black shadow swiftly darted out from the Crystal King's body, wanting to escape by seizing the road!
"You can't escape!" Yun Feng shouted loudly, his spiritual energy surging out of his body and transforming into an invisible giant hand that grasped at the fleeing black shadow with precision and ferocity!
The dark shadow escaped even faster, and Yun Feng's spiritual power was extremely swift in the air. The Crystal King now had no movement at all, standing there like a machine that had lost its heart. Qu Lan Yi and Ao Jin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when they saw this, and upon seeing the figure constantly dodging in the air, the two also joined the hunting army.
All the crises have been lifted, and Xiao Huo and Lan Yi have also joined the hunting team. The speed of these few people is incredibly fast, and for a time, several black shadows appear in the sky. However, the escaping thing is even faster, seemingly intentionally teasing them, and Yun Feng can even hear a faint laughter.
Yun Feng had several close calls with this thing, and the large hand formed by his spiritual energy almost grasped it several times, but it managed to escape every time. Its body was abnormally smooth, without any rough sensation at all, making it difficult to get a firm grip on it.
Yun Feng slightly stopped his body, looking at the black shadow that was moving wildly in the sky, looking at its freely moving and agile trajectory. This little thing was obviously playing with them, and its incomparable speed was unmatched.
As long as it's faster than this speed, I can catch it! Yun Feng's thought had just flashed by, a loud shout quickly rose, "That that!" This loud voice made Yun Feng involuntarily curl up a smile, and the meatball that was even faster appeared!
A joyful cry of "Meatball" echoed through the sky, and a black shadow rushed over, heading straight for the figure fleeing in mid-air. It was somewhat unexpected, as if it had met its nemesis, that the small thing that had been teasing everyone with its leisurely escape suddenly became flustered. The speed suddenly accelerated again, but the trajectory of the escape became more chaotic, as if it was running wildly and bumping into things in mid-air, before rushing towards Yun Feng's direction without a care, and dove headfirst into Yun Feng's embrace!
Yun Feng was shocked, and the little thing rushed straight into his arms. Yun Feng could only immediately stretch out his hand to hold it. A cool and comfortable feeling spread from his hands, without any roughness, thoroughly smooth and delicate. The little thing trembled with fear and burrowed into Yun Feng's arms, clearly visible in its terror.
Yun Feng lowered his head, and only then did he see clearly what this was: not a single hair, all over the body presenting a crystal clear luster. Yun Feng's hand lightly slid over the little thing's head, and the little thing immediately lifted its head, looking at Yun Feng with a pitiful expression, resembling a squirrel but several times larger than one.
"Meatball!" The sound of Meatball's voice had already reached right in front of him. Yun Feng only saw the small thing in his arms get scared and try to run away again, Yun Feng used a bit of force to tightly hug it, "Meatball! Stop!" he shouted, the shadow of Meatball rushing over immediately stopped. Yun Feng looked at Meatball with a drooling expression, helplessly smiling, this little thing was indeed the so-called Extreme Treasure Crystal King.
The meatball wants to eat it, no wonder it's so scared.
Rou's fluffy body climbed onto Yun Feng's shoulder, and Yun Feng could feel a fiery gaze emanating from Rou's eyes. However, this thing was inedible; it was equivalent to an inexhaustible top-grade ore vein!
"You can't eat it, having it means your favorite rare minerals will be unlimited." Yun Feng said a sentence, Rou Yuan was quite wronged and cried out twice, after all, the delicious food in front of him couldn't be eaten, which was really uncomfortable. Yun Feng smiled, turned around, and looked at that motionless giant crystal creature.
"If you want to eat, that one is for you." Yun Feng pointed, and the meatball's body immediately flew out. The surface of this mountain-like creature was all top-grade ore! It's probably all the top-grade ore in this region!
After Rouqiu left, the little thing that was hiding in Yunfeng's arms and trembling with fear finally calmed down a bit. Qu Lanyi and Ao Jin walked over, both curiously looking at the little creature. "What is this? A mineral?" Ao Jin narrowed his eyes and stared for a moment before blurting out.
"This is what they call a mineral spirit, I suppose." Qu Lan Yi chuckled, "With Xiao Fengfeng having it, it's equivalent to having a great deal of assistance."
"Congratulations, beautiful!" A lazy voice rang out. Several people looked up and saw that Peach Blossom Eyes had walked over, her dark, flowing eyes seeming to emit infinite electric waves, which, however, had no effect on Yun Feng.
"There's actually someone else here." Qu Lan Yi narrowed her eyes as she looked at Tao Hua Yan, but didn't show any particular hostility towards the suddenly appearing him.
"Unexpectedly, there's another beauty." Peach blossoms danced in her eyes as she slightly raised an eyebrow, sizing up Qu Lianyi with a glance, and smiled, "Just a personal demon."
Yun Feng was taken aback, Ao Jin's gaze suddenly swept towards Qu Lan Yi, somewhat startled. "What did he say you were?" Qu Lan Yi chuckled and twisted her body as soft as boneless, "Didn't you hear clearly? A demon."
The little thing in Yun Feng's arms moved slightly, and Taohua Yan's lips curled up at the corners of her mouth. "Aren't you going to put it away? This thing can turn a saint into a devil."
Yun Feng's gaze swept to the three figures of Jia Sen walking over, and immediately stuffed this small thing into his own bracelet space. The little thing didn't resist either, perhaps it also had a good impression of Yun Feng, otherwise it wouldn't have rushed into Yun Feng's arms when escaping.
"Who are you?" A furious roar came, and Kasen's face turned black. Looking at the peach blossom eye standing there, it seemed that he was an intruder who broke into his own territory. In Kasen's heart, Peach Blossom Eye was just such an identity.
Tao Hua Yan's eyebrows rose, but she didn't respond to Jia Sen's words. Mu Qing and Xiao Xiao also gave him unfriendly glances. "Who are you? How did you get in here? You're actually familiar with the ruins of the gods!" Jia Sen was like a furious leopard, roaring at Tao Hua Yan. As soon as she heard it, "Ruins of the Gods?"
Yun Feng furrowed his brow, "Don't you know where this is?"
"Yun Feng, is this someone you brought in?" Kasen's gaze swept towards Yun Feng, his tone extremely unfriendly. Yun Feng's expression turned cold, "What qualifications do you have to question me? If he was an intruder, what would that make you? Besides, this place doesn't belong to anyone, so it's not a big deal if others come in."
"What did you say? This is of course one of the Four Great Empires! Only the Four Great Empires can explore this place! Everything inside belongs to the Four Great Empires!" Kasen said with red eyes. Ao Jin snorted coldly: "Indeed greedy."
"Hmph, talking so righteously, is this your place? Why are you yelling so loudly here?" Peach Blossom's eyes smiled slightly, and Jiasen's old face turned red. Mu Qing and Xiao Xiao had not spoken until Mu Qing finally spoke up, "Forget it, there's no point in arguing."
Kasen was immediately somewhat unwilling, one more person appearing meant one more person competing with him for things, didn't they understand this principle? Kasen wanted to speak again, but Mu Qing gave him a cold glance, "Your dissatisfaction doesn't represent me and Xiao."
Kasen wanted to speak up, but could only flush red in the face and stand there. He deeply understood that he was able to appear here because of Mu Qing and Xiao Xiao's connections. If they were offended, it would likely be him who would be driven out next. Kasen had obtained many high-grade ores, but this small benefit was not enough to satisfy his appetite. He believed that there would be even more precious treasures hidden within, and he couldn't be driven out! Kasen glared at Yun Feng with a scowl, and no longer spoke up.
The peach blossom eyes smiled and smiled, facing Yun Feng, she made a standard gentlemanly bow, "Thank you for the beauty's kindness, I have nothing to repay but..."
Qū Lán Yī's face sank, and Yún Fēng was the same, cutting off Táo Huā Yǎn's words at this moment, "No need, I didn't help you."
Peach blossoms eyes straightened up, those charming eyes with a smile looked at Yun Feng, the corners of her mouth curved upwards, "Just joking."
Yun Feng turned to look at the Meatball, which was eating with gusto beside the small hills. When Kasen and his two companions saw that the top-grade ore had entered the Meatball's mouth, their expressions were indescribable. "That is... top-grade ore! How can it?!" Kasen's eyes reddened, and he took a step forward, but fortunately, he stabilized his pace. Yun Feng looked at the originally massive creature composed of top-grade ore, which had now been eaten by the Meatball to one-third of its original size.
One-third of the top-grade ore has entered Roux's belly!
"Aren't you afraid of bursting?" Yun Feng walked forward, one hand picking up the meatball's body. The little guy was eating with great relish, its paws still clutching a top-grade ore that it was busy stuffing into its mouth. Yun Feng's gaze swept over the meatball's small body, and yet despite eating so many top-grade ores, its body hadn't changed in the slightest. Could it be that it was the same type as Yao Guang, with a body that was like a bottomless pit?
Yao Guang had once swallowed dozens of wild boars in one gulp, and Rouyuan had swallowed so many top-grade ores. Although the two were fundamentally different, their forms were the same. Yun Feng swept a glance at the remaining top-grade ores, and Rouyuan had eaten at least several hundred of them.
"Are you still hungry?" Yun Feng asked, Rouyuan's small head nodded repeatedly. Yun Feng shook his head helplessly, "Even if you want to eat more, you can't." He patted Rouyuan's body lightly and walked forward to pick up a top-grade ore, examining it carefully. Among the top-grade ores, there were also differences in quality. The purity of these top-grade ores was first-rate, making them extremely precious.
Yun Feng smiled at Qu Lan Yi and Ao Jin, "This is what we found."
Both of them smiled with relief, and Qu Lan Yi walked forward, casually picking up a few pieces. "Even if I had more, I wouldn't have any use for it. Practicing this path is still best done with one's feet firmly on the ground. These can be exchanged for a considerable amount of wealth, perhaps even something good."
Ao Jin also walked up and rubbed Yun Feng's head with his big hand, then bent down to pick up a few pieces. "That's enough, just these few pieces, I don't lack this."
Ao Jin's words were not hypocritical, as the young master of the dragon clan, with the dragon clan's greedy and hoarding nature, how could they lack rare minerals? Perhaps the wealth they accumulated was beyond human imagination.
Yun Feng couldn't help but laugh, so many top-grade ores and they only took a few pieces, leaving her with an astronomical fortune. Jia Sen watched from the side, his eyes wide with envy, thinking to himself "Don't give me any!" Although he thought this way, he didn't dare say it out loud. Xiao Xiao and Mu Qing also felt unfulfilled, having initially thought that getting high-grade ores was already a great deal, but now they felt disappointed and unsatisfied, feeling like what they got was just a tiny fraction of the best, with even better things always ahead.
Rouge's eyes stared at the pile of top-grade ore, shining brightly. Yun Feng spent some effort putting these top-grade ores into his storage bag. Roughly estimating, the number of top-grade ores had already reached two thousand, two thousand top-grade ores... On this continent, perhaps only Yun Feng could have such a large scale.
Peach Blossom Eyes smiled and watched Yun Feng from the side, without showing any interest in the top-grade ore. After Yun Feng finished collecting everything, Peach Blossom Eyes chuckled and approached him, "Beautiful man, since we've met by fate, why not take me with you?"
Yun Feng took a glance, this man was suspicious! The way he appeared, the place where he appeared, his identity and intentions were all unclear. However, she could confirm one thing, Jing Shi Wang was indeed lured out by him, without a doubt.
"Follow me, keep a distance from her." Qu Lan Yi walked over and stood firmly in front of Tao Hua Yan, completely separating him from Yun Feng. Tao Hua Yan looked at Qu Lan Yi, then suddenly smiled, "Alright, no problem, I don't want to be too close to the demon either." As he spoke, he took a few steps back.
Yun Feng's Taoyang acupoint jumped a few times, "Let's go, if you still want to stay here, suit yourself." Yun Feng said and walked forward, this place had no more exploratory value for her. The three of them continued to move forward. Jiasen and the other two looked back reluctantly, there were still high-grade minerals on the ground, but at this moment, they couldn't stir up any excitement. The three finally followed hastily, as long as they saw the best, even if they couldn't get it, they would be resentful, and they would also have complaints about what they had.
"Beauty, our meeting again must be the arrangement of heaven."
"Beauty, aren't you fond of transvestites? What's good about them?"
"Beauty, don't you think I'm beautiful?"
"Beauty..."
"Shut up!" Yun Feng's voice was icy, his face already a dark cloud. Taohua Yan closed her mouth obediently, the corners of her lips still hinting at a smile. Qu Lan Yi snickered on the side, gloating over someone else's misfortune. Ao Jin's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant - this man really had too much to say!
"Don't call me pretty girl again, or I'll disappear!"
Peach Blossom Eyes smiled and said, "In that case, I'll call you by your name, Yun Feng, how is it?"
Yun Feng's dark eyes swept over slightly, "As you wish."
The peach blossom eyes curved up at the corners, looking very happy, "Feng'er, you can call me Chang Ge."
Yun Feng's goosebumps suddenly rose, Qu Lan Yi and Ao Jin's faces sank abruptly, Xiao Huo and Lan Yi were both silent. Yun Feng tightly pursed his lips, "Don't call me Feng Er, only my loved ones can call me that."
Her slender white fingers touched the corner of her lips, which were red and luscious with a hint of shine, as if tempting people to taste them. "Only for relatives? Then I'll be your relative, how about that, husband?"
"Enough said?" Yun Feng's face was already unrecognizable, his hand clenched into a fist, with an overwhelming urge to punch this face. Peach Blossom Eyes smiled and tactfully stopped talking, shrugging her shoulders and closing her mouth. Just as it had quieted down for a moment, she suddenly spoke up again, "Consider me, I'm serious."
Yun Feng didn't respond, her dark eyes fixed on the front. This mining area had reached its end, and a huge gate appeared before her eyes. Yun Feng looked at the intricate carvings and patterns on the door, her eyes slightly dimmed.
"It seems that we have finally arrived at the true area of the Gods' Ruins." Qu Lan Yi said softly beside him, Yun Feng nodded, and a surge of spiritual energy burst out, transforming into an invisible giant hand that slowly covered the massive gate. With one push, this gate, which had been sealed for who-knows-how-long, was finally opened. As time left its ancient mark on it, accompanied by a loud, hoarse voice, the door slowly creaked open before everyone's eyes.
"Let's go," Yun Feng said, stepping inside, and the group followed closely. This was a deep, dark path, seemingly an endless corridor, with footsteps echoing softly, surrounded by an eerie silence, unable to see what lay ahead, only a faint yellow light illuminating the road in front of them.
Yun Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the people following him also came to a halt. This was a fork in the road, with four different paths branching out in separate directions. Yun Feng took one look and immediately understood that these were the four functionally distinct regions marked on the map. The markings on the map had long since faded, and Yun Feng couldn't remember which path led to which region - he hadn't had a chance to observe the map along the way.
"A word." A rustling sound came, and everyone looked over to see a line of words crookedly carved on the wall beside them: Don't take the road back.
Yun Feng's eyebrows slightly furrowed, it seemed that once a path was chosen, they had to keep going and couldn't turn back. "We'll choose first!" Jia Sen said with a hint of a smile on his face after whispering with Xiao Xiao and Mu Qing for a while, "Yun Feng, haven't you forgotten the rules you set?"
Yun Feng raised an eyebrow, already aware of Jiasen's warning. A cold smile played on his lips, "Of course I haven't forgotten, the three great empires can't walk the same path."
"Alright, since none of us have forgotten, each of the three of us will choose one, and you two can take the remaining one."
Yun Feng chuckled and said, "Alright, but our agreement was for the three major empires. You don't count as one of them."
Kasen's face suddenly sank, "You must compete with me?"
Yun Feng burst out laughing, "You're wrong, it's not your stuff, why should I snatch it?"
Kasen's face turned black, and he knew without thinking that this time he had thoroughly lost out. Yun Feng glanced at the three of them lightly, "You choose, I'll wait."
Xiao Xiao and Mu Qing smiled with some relief, and the two quickly chose a path to walk in. Jia Sen stood there with an iron face, his teeth chattering loudly, looked at the remaining two paths, and casually chose one to walk in.
"What should we do?" Ao Jin looked at the other road, and scratched his hair in annoyance. "Forget about the rules, let's just go straight!"
"The Empire of Wind and Cloud must put on a show." Qu Lan Yi hummed disdainfully, looked around, "Meatball, you come lead the way."
The meatball on Yun Feng's shoulder suddenly stood up, and with a jump, it landed on Xiao Huo's head. It called out in a low voice several times. After listening, Xiao Huo opened his mouth and said, "It says that all roads are the same, and they all lead to one place."
Several people were shocked when Yun Feng took out the map. Taohua Yan looked at it with great curiosity, "You have this kind of thing too?"
Yun Feng didn't respond, carefully examining the regions marked on the map, the four major areas were arranged in a semicircular direction. Yun Feng looked again, and the four major areas formed a semicircle, but half of that region was blank!
"In that case, let's just choose one casually." Yun Feng put away the map and chose one of the two remaining roads. "You choose which road, it's up to you," Yun Feng said to Taohua Nan. Taohua Nan smiled, "I'll follow whichever road you choose."
Yun Feng ignored him and walked in first, followed by Qu Lan Yi and Ao Jin. The rest of the people followed suit. This area was unusually quiet, and after walking through the long corridor, Yun Feng and his group finally arrived at their destination. It was a semi-circular area with buildings scattered about in disarray, some intact, others reduced to rubble.
There should have been a tribe living here, Yun Feng looked at these buildings and the division of functions in this area, a tribe may have thrived and survived until it was completely destroyed. According to the crystal region that just passed by, this tribe should be a relatively wealthy tribe, if this tribe still exists, they are undoubtedly the strongest.
A few people walked among these buildings, looking at the scale of these buildings. Although the years have been quite distant, they can still sense the traces left by life here before. Yun Feng observed for a while and finally came to the conclusion that the area they entered should be a residential area, because most of them were residential houses, and there was nothing else.
All the way, some houses were broken, some houses were intact, and even the decorations inside still existed. Yun Feng couldn't help but be amazed, after going through how many years of baptism, it was able to preserve to this extent, it had to be said that this was a miracle.
As she passed by a house, Yun Feng's gaze lingered on a certain spot. On the gate of this house, slightly to the upper right, there was a copper coin-like mark, very blurry and already unable to see what was engraved, which should be the family crest of this clan.
Without lingering, they continued to move forward. After seeing the emblem, Yun Feng subconsciously discovered that almost every door with a well-preserved mark had this imprint. Had this tribe really disappeared completely? Or were they driven out and killed here?
"It seems we've reached the end." Qu Lan's voice came faintly. The houses on both sides of the crowd had already reached the end, and it seemed that the four major areas were indeed leading to the same place, as Yun Feng had seen Jia Sen, Xiao Xiao, and Mu Qing. When the crowd met again, those three people were very surprised, and Jia Sen was not only surprised but also in a state of extreme anger.
"What did you find?" Kasen's face was gloomy as he glanced at Xiao Xiao and Mu Qing, who both shook their heads. "Nothing, nothing at all."
Kasen's gaze swept towards Yun Feng. Yun Feng smiled, "You think I've found it?"
Kasen's lips were pursed tightly, "Damn it, this is just a hollow shell! There's nothing here!"
Xiao Xiao and Mu Qing's faces also looked a bit unsightly, the two of them didn't gain anything, they searched every nook and cranny but it was just as Jia Sen said, this place was indeed like an empty shell. Was it worth risking their lives to come in here just to take out high-grade ore? High-grade ore wasn't some extremely rare thing either, wasn't this losing both the wife and the soldiers?!
"It must be that someone came first and cleaned out everything." Kasen looked at Taohuayan. Taohuayan sneered, "Do I have such good luck?"
"It has nothing to do with luck, it's all about one's own abilities." Yun Feng said a sentence, Jia Sen's face suddenly sank, Xiao Xiao and Mu Qing were the same, they didn't have the ability, naturally they didn't get anything, even if that man took everything away, it was something they couldn't interfere with.
"I knew you'd help me." Peach Blossom smiled, while Qu Lanyi replied coldly beside her: "Little Maple isn't helping you, she's just too lazy to bother."
"Na Na!" Meatball shouted, and a small voice came from Yun Feng's mind, "Master, Meatball says there is a road ahead."
Yun Feng's black eyes swept away, the place where everyone was a small square, and one side of the square faced the four major regions, while the other side was all stone walls, coldly looking like a dead end. Yun Feng also knew that the blank area on the map was where the value of exploration lay!
Xiao Huo kept walking back and forth along the wall under Rouyu's guidance, while others didn't know what they were doing. Xiao Xiao and Mu Qing had already started thinking about how to return, Jiasen was silent on the side, apparently he was not willing to leave like this, but once these two left, he himself would not be able to stay here either.
Xiao Hu's body finally stopped, and the meat ball let out another cry. Xiao Hu nodded. The wolf claw suddenly swung forward, slapping against the stone wall in front of it. The surface of the stone wall suddenly appeared with fine cracks. Xiao Hu slapped several more times, and finally, amidst the sound of shattering stones, a door appeared.
"Master..." A slightly stunned voice sounded. Yun Feng furrowed his brow and walked over, the commotion of Xiao Huo shattering the stone wall had already attracted everyone's attention, and they all gathered around. When they saw clearly that a hidden door had suddenly appeared, the hearts of Jia Sen and the others suddenly heated up, it seemed that the exploration was not over yet!
Qū Lán Yī, áo Jīn, and Táo Huā Yǎn all walked over, while Jiǎ Sēn and the other two could only stand a short distance away. Everyone's eyes widened in surprise as they saw the door. Yún Fēng walked over, his gaze sweeping across the door, which was preserved exceptionally well, looking almost new, with a faint sheen to it. In the upper right corner of the door, the pattern that Yún Fēng had seen countless times before appeared once again, this time completely clear.
"Ancestor..." Yun Feng's voice echoed in his own heart, calling out to the Cloud Ancestor who resided in his spiritual space. The Ancestor's voice fell silent for a moment before responding, "I have seen..."
On the top right corner of that door, a familiar character was clearly engraved in the middle: Yun!
