C146 Divine beasts
The few of them carefully approached the source of the fragrance. They tried their best not to make any contact with the surrounding plants in order to avoid disturbing the spirit beast guarding the elixir.
The closer they got, the more they could feel the rich fragrance and the lighter they became.
Ye Feng was even more certain that this was a spirit medicine that had a lifespan of at least a thousand years or more.
Initially, they had thought that they would soon get close to the elixirs. They had walked upwards for four hours, but they still hadn't found any traces of the elixirs. They only felt that the elixir's aura had become even denser.
No, Ye Feng felt that this was definitely not a thousand year old elixir. Judging from its aura, it should be at least two thousand years old.
As the crowd went up, Ye Feng denied the previous conclusion and felt that the age of the elixir should be more than three thousand years.
Finally, after a day, the few of them arrived at the side of the mountain stream and the smell of the herb came from the other side. Ye Feng used his soul consciousness to communicate with them and came to the conclusion that the age of this herb should be over ten thousand years.
As long as he could get a portion of it, he would be able to raise his cultivation to the Building Foundation Peak and this was the minimum effect. If it was a medicinal herb with unique effects, then it would be even rarer, and if it was taken outside, it would definitely cause an unimaginable commotion.
Thinking about this, Ye Feng and the others started to move more cautiously.
The few of them walked to the edge of the ravine and looked towards the other side. They did not see any movement, so they were abnormally quiet. There wasn't even the chirping of insects or the chirping of birds.
This situation was definitely out of the ordinary. Ye Feng vigilantly looked towards the other side. With the environment like this, it meant that there would definitely be a super strong spirit beast around the spirit medicine. Even some small insects didn't dare to live in the opposite side.
Since they didn't dare to act rashly, they had to at least know what kind of spirit beast was capable of coming up with a response.
The few of them stood behind the huge rock without moving. They felt their hearts throbbing uncontrollably as if a stone was pressing against their hearts, and the weight of the stone was gradually increasing.
Very soon, the few of them felt that it was somewhat unbearable. They communicated with each other and were surprised to discover that this was the case for all of them.
As the pressure increased, Ye Feng was the first to feel discomfort. His cultivation was the lowest in the group, and he felt a stifling sensation in his chest as stars started to appear in his eyes. He even felt like vomiting.
No, if he continued like this, Ye Feng would probably fall. He could not try to be brave anymore, and Ye Feng would leave soon.
Spirit medicine was indeed tempting, but one's life was the most important.
"Boss, quick, look. There's movement from the other side." Liu Mang excitedly transmitted to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng gathered spirit energy and looked at the other side.
Suddenly, a huge rock opposite of him shook. This rock was about the size of a house. As the rock shook, a small tree growing on it was shaken off. Dust and broken rocks fell to the ground.
"Ang!" A loud roar resounded.
"Pfft!" Ye Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, it was too strong, this roar already injured Ye Feng.
The three Aurous Core disciples did not feel well either. Although they did not spit out any blood, their faces were as pale as paper.
After a long time, the few of them finally recovered and looked at Ye Feng with concern.
"I'm fine. It's okay." Ye Feng clenched his teeth and persisted.
From the other side of the ravine came a series of tremors, and the boulder rose up from the ground.
The group's eyes were wide open. What kind of monster was this? So the giant rock in front of them was only the head of the beast, while the monster's body was buried below the ground.
As the monster pulled its body out of the ground, Ye Feng understood that it was a gigantic Divine Crocodile, with a body that was at least fifty meters long. The Divine Crocodile's body was covered in dark green scales, and after a head shake, the dust on it fell, revealing the same color as its body.
Just before they entered the forest, they turned around to look at the big rock that Ye Feng and the others were hiding.
"Crack!" The large stone turned into dust, revealing the figures of a few people.
He was about to enter the internal world, but what made him even more shocked was that the surrounding space seemed to have been confined, causing him to be unable to move, and he lost contact with the internal world.
The internal world was Ye Feng's greatest reliance. If they couldn't enter, then those few people would all die here.
With just a glance, the Divine Crocodile turned a huge rock into dust. There was no room for them to struggle at all.
Ye Feng had lost all hope. Family and friends. Goodbye. Goodbye.
Liu Mang and the others also completely lost hope. At that moment, their hearts were completely dejected as they awaited the arrival of death.
Just when everyone had lost their confidence and thought that they were dead meat, the Divine Crocodile suddenly sped up its pace and flew into the forest.
The pressure on Ye Feng's heart and body loosened at the same time, "Putong!" He fell to the ground.
The other three people were also in the same state, sitting on the ground and breathing heavily.
They looked at each other, not daring to believe what had just happened. What did it feel like to be able to escape from death, what did it feel like to be the arrival of death? They all felt like they had walked around the edge of hell.
However, they did not know why the Divine Crocodile would let them go at the last moment.
Looking again at the place the Divine Crocodile climbed over, there was a ten meters wide and five meters deep ravine that led straight into the depths of the forest. Everywhere the Divine Crocodile passed, no matter if it was an ancient tree or a huge rock, they were all turned into powder.
"Oh my god, what kind of monster is this, this is the first time I've seen it" Liu Mang patted his chest. Ever since he followed Ye Feng, his fortuitous encounters had been continuous. He first saw the fire dragon, then he saw a divine beast like it. No one could believe this experience if it was told to others.
Even if it was Liu Mang, without personally experiencing it, he would not believe that there was such a divine beast in the world.
"Boss, we didn't die, right?" Liu Mang came back to his senses.
"Nonsense, could it be that I am a ghost?" Wu Liang laughed as he scolded, it was too thrilling that he was actually still alive even when it was impossible for him to survive, it was practically a miracle.
"Why did that divine beast let us go?" Tang Jingtian looked in the direction the Divine Crocodile left in puzzlement.
"Who cares. As long as he doesn't die, he's better than anything." Ye Feng was very glad that he was able to maintain an optimistic mind at this time. This was truly rare.
"Could it be that the spirit medicine is about to mature soon? This divine beast is going to harvest spirit medicine." Wu Liang said.
"Yes, it's possible." Ye Feng nodded.
"It's over, there's really no hope for the spiritual medicines this time." Liu Mang appeared to be quite helpless and had a trace of unwillingness.
"Pah. You still dare to think about spiritual medicine at this time? You almost lost your life! You are truly unwilling to part with your life!" Wu Liang curled her lips.
Very quickly, the few of them found out why the Divine Crocodile let them go.
"Aooo!" A voice completely different from that of Divine Crocodile came from the depths of the forest opposite. It was the roar of another type of spirit beast.
"Empty!" A hill not far away collapsed from the roar.
A few people's eardrums were buzzing, and their hearts were beating rapidly.
So another spirit beast had come. How could this Divine Crocodile take Ye Feng and the others seriously?
Seeing the Divine Crocodile rushing, the opponent's cultivation seemed to be in no way inferior to it.
Ye Feng and the others were happy at the arrival of this divine beast. This was a lucky star that would save lives.
"Bam!" The two God Beasts exchanged blows. Although the several people didn't see the battle between the God Beasts, they could clearly feel the pressure of these two God Beasts. The entire forest was razed to the ground.
"Ang!" The Divine Crocodile let out a roar, and the rocks flew up into the air one after another.
"Boss, should we go over and take a look?" Liu Mang's restless heart became restless.
"Isn't it too dangerous? The little ghost got hurt when the deities fought, and he would kill us with just a glance." Wu Liang said as she frowned.
"Then you're wrong, maybe you will get some benefits. Even if you casually pick up a few pieces of the crocodile's scales, we will still be rich." Liu Mang knew that the big crocodile was a super divine beast. No matter what part of its body it got, it would be priceless.
It wasn't that Ye Feng didn't understand the value of Divine Crocodile, but the danger involved in being able to seal space and prevent himself from entering the internal world was even more unimaginable. This was the second time such a situation had occurred.
The first time was in the small world of the Qiu General Mountain. At that time, Ye Feng could only take out the treasures from the internal world, but he could not enter. This time, he even lost the ability to communicate with the internal world.
Ye Feng also thought in his heart that he still relied too much on the internal world. His two lessons told him that his cultivation should be his greatest reliance, always placing his hopes on the internal world. Sooner or later, he would suffer a great loss.
He also wanted to go take a look and see if he could take advantage of the situation, but things were too dangerous, so Ye Feng decided to wait and see. After the two divine beasts had fought for a while and their strength had been depleted, it would not be too late for them to head there.
A few people waited for an entire day. The battle between the two divine beasts was extremely intense. One was to seize spiritual medicine, and the other was to protect spiritual medicine. They were going to fight to the death.
At this moment, the forest had been completely razed to the ground by the aftermath of the battle. The few of them could vaguely see the situation on the other side.
The one fighting against the Divine Crocodile was a Multi Colored Tiger. It was also huge, its four sturdy legs were like four pillars, supporting its huge body, which was over thirty meters long.
However, this tiger was different from other tigers. On its head grew a pair of horns similar to the antlers of deer.
This tiger was beyond the knowledge of several people.
With a light leap, the Deer Horn Tiger crossed the few hundred meters in an instant, and the large horn on its head aimed towards the Divine Crocodile's body.
The Divine Crocodile did not want to be outdone, so it used its four limbs to grab onto the ground and swept its thick tail towards the venomous tiger's stomach.
The two Divine Beasts didn't defend at all. They continued to fight with their lives on the line, causing the few people on the other side to stare blankly.
