The Blood Forest, stretching across the nine vast lands of Youdu, is a must-pass place for all directions.
On the continent of Jiuyou, there are many legends about the Blood Punishment Forest. It is said that this place has countless heavenly materials and treasures, as well as rare and exotic beasts. It is also said that deep within the Blood Punishment Forest, a terrifying power is hidden. It is said that those who enter the Blood Punishment Forest mostly die once in nine attempts.
At this time, Feng Youyue and Yu Chen stood on the ground of the Blood Punishment Forest, looking up at the sky.
The dense forest stretches as far as the eye can see, with a thousand feet of rosy clouds falling, and the mountains undulating. If it werent for the occasional roar of the spiritual beast, this would be a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
"This is the entrance to the Blood Punishment Forest, lets first find a quiet place on the edge and help you change your physique." Feng Youyue opened the map and said lightly.
Yu Chen had no opinion and followed her silently.
Before long, the two found a cave nestled in the mountains and beside the water. The cave was very secluded, with no signs of human footprints around it, and the weeds at the entrance were lush and extremely hidden.
Feng Youyue and Yu Chen entered the mountain cave, casually sweeping the ground with their sleeves, then sat down cross-legged.
"Fatty, this is the Chaotic Spirit Fruit. It can change your physique and increase your cultivation by ten years. After you take it, your body will be in unbearable pain. You must grit your teeth and persevere, otherwise everything will be for nothing."
Yu Chen gazed at Feng You Yues hand, where a green fruit was held, her eyes filled with astonishment.
"Hun, Hun Dun Ling Guo?! The legendary Hun Dun Ling Guo?!" Yu Jia was also a powerful and influential family, he had heard his grandfather say before that Hun Dun Ling Guo was the essence of heaven and earth, countless people went crazy for it!
How could Feng Youyue give such a precious thing to him so casually?!
"Youre being too polite. Youd better eat it yourself! I wont have any!" Yu Chen waved his hand repeatedly, firmly refusing.
"Ive already eaten, eating more wont have any effect. I still have several in my hand, you take them!" Feng Youyue stuffed a handful of Chaos Spirit Fruits into Yu Chens hands, seeing that he was about to refuse, her face turned stern, "Dont you want to cultivate anymore? Dont you want to get stronger with me?!"
Yu Chen hesitated for a moment, entangled for half a day, and finally nodded.
"Okay, Ill eat!"
Under Feng Youyues gaze, he swallowed the spiritual fruit in one gulp. Soon after, a warm current flowed from his dantian to his limbs and bones. Immediately following, the temperature of the warm current rapidly rose, becoming scorching hot, as if it was going to burn all of his extraordinary meridians.
Yu Chens face turned white, and beads of sweat as big as beans fell one by one onto the ground.
"Chubby, hold on a bit longer, persevere!" Feng Youyue looked anxious but could do nothing to help. The path of the strong must be walked by oneself.
Yu Chen was already powerless to speak, he sat with his knees crossed, his hands tightly grasping his clothes, his fists white. His bright red eyes stared almost bursting, in his body, as if there was a hot lava flowing.
Scorching! Scorching to the bone!
His body felt like it was going to be burned to ashes! He felt his internal organs withering away rapidly, turning into powder!
"Ah——!"
Yu Chen let out a long whistle, his body flipped over, and his hands tightly grasped the ground. His chubby fingers sank deeply into the mud, fresh blood seeping out, but it was not even one tenth of the pain his body was in!
Feng Youyue stood by, her face filled with worry, but could only watch helplessly.
Time slowly passed, and before ones eyes, it was already dark. The golden crow had fallen, the cold moon hung high, and the Blood Punishment Forest became even more mysterious and eerie.
After a day of torment, Yu Chen had survived the crisis. At this time, he sat cross-legged on the ground, his whole body surrounded by a shallow yellow mysterious aura, and his expression was calm and peaceful.
Feng Youyue saw this and spat out a mouthful of turbid air, raising the corner of her mouth.
Standing still all day is also quite an ordeal!
She twisted her neck and moved her hands and feet, after making sure that Yu Chen was not in danger, she crawled out of the cave.
Outside the cave, the dark clouds surged freely in the sky. In the grass, fireflies twinkled like stars, some floating before me, others drifting on the surface of a nearby lake.
Fresh air mixed with the unique smell of mud rushed to her face, Feng You Yue greedily took a deep breath, stretched lazily and walked towards the distance.
Near the cave, there is a small forest. Under the bright moonlight, a red figure moves elegantly and lightly, darting between the mountains and forests, like an elf.
She occasionally stopped in her tracks, her red boots tapping the ground, and then leaped up. A burst of air sounded, and the wild rabbit that was eating grass trembled, its breath gone.
After one trip, Feng Youyue caught quite a few prey. Two wild rabbits and a small wild boar.
"Hmm, good fortune tonight!" She smiled and got up, shouldering the wild boar with one hand and carrying two wild rabbits in the other, swaggering out.
That figure, however you look at it, is majestic and heroic.
Feng Youyue returned to the front of the mountain cave and saw Yu Chen still practicing, so he set up a bonfire by himself, skinned the rabbit and wild boar, inserted branches into them, and roasted them with a sizzling sound. Before long, oil dripped into the fire, emitting a light smoke, and the rich fragrance slowly wafted away into the distance.
Feng Youyue pursed her lips and smiled at the golden-roasted rabbit and wild boar, her saliva almost dripping down.
"Beep beep —— beep beep ——"
Feng Youyues ears perked up, "Hm? What sound?"
"Squeak! Squeak squeak!"
Feng Youyue blinked her eyes and looked over in the direction of the sound.
Not far from the bonfire, under a large tree, there was a stone about half the height of a person. Next to the stone, a little red creature with black eyes stared motionlessly at her. Oh no, to be exact, it was staring at the roasted rabbit in her hand.
It saw Feng Youyue approaching itself, but it didnt seem to care and instead took a small step forward, quickly running towards this side. Its speed was so fast that its body turned into a blur.
So fast!
Feng Youyue was astonished in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, the little guy had arrived in front of her. Its two hind legs were squatting on the ground, and its front paws were raised and placed on its chest. The small thing was only the size of a womans palm, a bright red ball, with shiny fur all over its body, without a single stray hair. It looked a bit like a kitten, but its tail was a bit like a fox, fluffy and cute.
At this time, its pair of watery black eyes were pitifully staring at Feng Youyue, making "squeaking" sounds.
Feng Youyue looked at it with interest, raising an eyebrow, "What do you want to do?"
"Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak!" The little guys paws gestured a few times, jumping up and down as he pointed at the roasted rabbit in her hand.
"Do you want to eat this?" Feng Youyue asked, holding up a roasted rabbit.
"Squeak squeak squeak!" The little guy nodded vigorously, a flattering expression flowing from his eyes, with something resembling drool sliding down the corner of his mouth.
"But I dont want to give it to you, what can you do? This is something I hunted down." Feng Youyue smiled mischievously and asked with a playful tone.
The little guy was taken aback, tilted his small head and thought for a moment, then made a move that left Feng Youyue both laughing and crying.
It lifted its front paws, held them to its chest, stood up straight, and made a bowing motion towards Feng Youyue. Its bright red tail swished back and forth behind it, like a beckoning cat, with a flattering glint in its eyes.
Feng Youyue couldnt help it and burst out laughing. This little guy was too interesting, such a small thing, yet so spirited.
"Hmm, considering youve done quite well, this wild rabbit is yours. However, youre so small, can you really eat that much?"
The little guy quickly hugged the wild rabbit in his arms, chirped "squeak squeak" twice to Feng Youyue, then swiftly turned around, with his butt facing her, ignoring her from then on.
Feng You Yue: “......”
Alright, burn your bridges after crossing them, this little guy is also capable of doing so.
She slowly and steadily ate a roasted rabbit, then had some wild boar meat. Feng Youyue let out a satisfied burp and contentedly rubbed her belly. Yu Chen was still unconscious, she glanced at the cave, extinguished the bonfire, picked up the remaining wild boar meat and got up to enter the cave.
As for that little guy, he had already eaten the rabbit and run away without a trace. What surprised Feng Youyue was that such a small thing could actually finish off the whole rabbit, leaving no meat residue behind.
One night without words, when the east rose again with a fish belly white, Yu Chen finally opened his eyes from his cultivation.
He raised his hands and slowly clenched them. In an instant, a pale yellow aura spread throughout his body.
"Xuān shì wǔ jiē, bù cuò!" A clear and languid voice came over, Yù Chén turned his head, looking at the red-clothed girl half-reclining on a stone.
"Moonlight! Ive leveled up!" Yu Chen excitedly got up, from Mystic 3rd stage to Mystic 5th stage, it would take at least two or three years. But he, actually jumped two levels in one night! All of this, was given to him by the girl in front of him!
Feng Youyue got up, smiling and patted Yu Chens shoulder.
"I knew you wouldnt let me down, this is just the first step, theres still a long way to go. Keep it up!"
Yu Chen nodded vigorously, and a glimmer of hope burst forth from his small eyes. From this moment on, he was no longer the idle young master of the Yu family! He wanted to become stronger!
At this time, a "gurgling" sound came from Yu Chens belly. He was taken aback, then covered his stomach and blushed with embarrassment.
"Youve gone hungry for a day and night, I roasted some wild boar meat, eat up." Feng Youyue said with a smile as she walked out of the cave.
Yu Chen held up the delicious wild boar meat and blinked, then shouted loudly at Feng Youyues back, "Youyue, where are you going?!"
"Take a bath!"
……
Not far from the cave, by the lake, golden dawn sprinkled on the lake surface, rippling waves. Feng You Yue stepped down slowly, took a deep breath, and stretched lazily.
Beng Yu Chen had been guarding the law for a day and a night, and she was indeed somewhat tired. This lake water had never been visited by anyone, she explored around and then took off her clothes one by one.
"Boom——!"
Water splashes up, and golden waves flutter in the sunlight. The girl dives down with a splash, like a beautiful mermaid, happily swimming around in the water.
Since arriving in Jiuyou Continent, its either been a path of fleeing for life or engaging in intrigue and rivalry with others. Such leisurely times have not been experienced in a long while.
Phoenix Yuemonth floated up from the bottom of the water, with a delicate face and water flowers on her face, her icy skin and jade bones radiating a bright light. She wiped her face, let out a loud laugh, and then dove back into the water, splashing waves of flowers.
The surface of the water gradually calmed down. The people in the water swam away into the distance.
……
A pair of white boots with golden dragon embroidery appeared on the shore, paused for a moment. A white figure stood silently staring at the waters surface, eyes narrowed slightly. Then, he bent down, picked up the red dress from the ground and slowly walked away...
Half an hour later——
"Which damned thief stole my old mothers clothes!"
Shattering the air with a furious roar, the explosion rocks the mountains and forests. The birds of a thousand mountains fly away in fright, and the tracks of men on ten thousand paths are obliterated...
