C49

For the next two days, Zhou Qing and Old Demon Feng travelled the entire way, heading towards the depths of the bloody desert.

As the Ten Thousand Devil Cave became more and more stable, more and more disciples came to train. Most of the spiritual medicines in the surroundings had already been harvested.

However, according to the records, this bloody desert could only be considered as the periphery, including the Blood Cloud Mountain where the ancient Bodhi tree was located.

The true Thousand Devils Cave was vast and boundless. It could hold that terrifying number of demons and devils, and that was an ironclad proof.

Two days later, the two finally arrived at the edge of the bloody sand sea.

When they looked from the edge of the desert, both Zhou Qing and Old Devil Feng were shocked.

Behind the endless desert was an oasis!

There seemed to be an invisible barrier separating the oasis and the sea of sand.

On one side, there was an endless sea of blood-red sand. There was not a single blade of grass growing; there was only murderous intent hidden everywhere. On the other side, there were trees and plants, ancient trees that reached into the sky, brimming with vitality.

Looking into the distance, there were many big and small crystal lakes in the oasis, with rippling water and precipitous cliffs. It was magnificent, with endless green mountain ranges that seemed like coiling dragons.

Zhou Qing carefully released his Spiritual Awareness to investigate and did not encounter any obstructions. When it covered the oasis, his expression immediately froze. Soon after, a fiery heat appeared in his eyes.

The ground of the oasis actually contained pure spirit energy, and it was extremely abundant, comparable to a high grade spirit vein!

Not just the soil, but every blade of grass in the oasis was extremely robust. Zhou Qing estimated that the spirit energy contained within every single plant was probably comparable to that of a Spirit Opening Pill …

If one could cultivate in this kind of place all year round, their cultivation speed would at least be raised by two times. Ordinary people would also be affected by the abundant spiritual energy, prolonging their lifespan.

This was an absolutely precious land!

Not only was Zhou Qing's eyes burning with greed, Old Demon Feng, who was standing beside him, did not conceal his greed in the slightest. Even his breathing became heavier.

However, although both of them were moved, they didn't take a step forward.

There must be a demon when something abnormal happens. Zhou Qing wanted Old Devil Feng to test him first, but wasn't Old Devil Feng the same?

"Kid, go down and take a look."

"You go first."

"What are you afraid of, a Feng Shui treasure with such dense Spiritual Qi?"

"There has been respect for the old since ancient times. You are older than me, so you should have been the first."

Old man Feng's face instantly twitched when he heard the words' revered elder '. He could not help but curse in his heart.

Damn you, little bastard!

The two of them stood on the sand dune like statues, staring at each other.

Finally, Old Demon Feng could no longer hold it in. He snorted coldly and took the lead to walk down towards the oasis.

Zhou Qing grinned. He mustered all of his mental strength and controlled the Five Devils to surround himself. Only after that did he carefully follow Old Demon Feng.

This scene caused the corners of old man Feng's mouth to twitch. He had the illusion that Zhou Qing was someone who was reaching the end of his life, someone who cared even more about his own life than he did.

Arriving in front of the dividing line between the desert and the oasis, Old Devil Feng pondered for a moment. He suddenly took out his magic knife and carefully extended it forward.

After waiting for a long time without any abnormalities, Old Devil Feng put away his saber, slowly crossed the boundary, and entered the oasis.

After a short while, Zhou Qing also followed.

The instant he entered the oasis, a surge of extremely dense spiritual energy rushed towards him. Zhou Qing felt his entire body was incomparably comfortable, even the spiritual energy in his body became a bit purer.

After standing still for a moment, Zhou Qing suddenly had a thought.

Could this spiritual energy soil even grow a Bodhi tree?

With this thought, Zhou Qing grabbed a handful of soil and kept it in his Life Stone Space, landing at the base of the ancient Bodhi tree.

Then, an unbelievable scene occurred.

The ancient Bodhi tree, which had been silent for a long time, actually began to react. Spiritual energy began to surge out of the tree trunk, and the roots of the tree also trembled slightly as they absorbed the spirit energy from the soil.

It was really possible!

Zhou Qing was immediately overjoyed, but soon after, he became somewhat vexed.

The space of the Fate Stone was currently too small and couldn't hold much spiritual earth, let alone grow an ancient Bodhi tree.

The feeling of the fat being brought to his mouth but unable to swallow made Zhou Qing extremely aggrieved.

After hesitating on the spot for a while, he finally clenched his teeth and gave up. He thought that he had to find the Life Stone fragments as soon as possible and expand the space inside the Life Stone, otherwise, if he saw anything good in the future, he would not be able to put it away.

While he was thinking, Old Devil Feng had already walked forward a distance and entered the lush grass. He was staring blankly at a towering ancient tree.

This old man seemed to be interested in this ancient tree. After muttering to himself irresolutely, the blade in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling mana light, which then chopped towards the tree trunk.

Clang.

When the blade and the tree trunk collided, there was the sound of metal clashing.

Old Demon Feng's blade descended, but not a single trace of it could be seen on the tree trunk!

Zhou Qing's pupils constricted.

He knew the strength of Old Demon Feng, even if the Corpse King took his blade head on, its body would still be injured.

This ancient tree, was actually tougher than the Corpse King's body!

Old Demon Feng was even more shocked. His mana exploded, and he continuously slashed a few times. The blades all landed on the same spot, yet they still did not cut a single bit of bark.

"The perfect material for refining a magical equipment!"

Old man Feng shouted in a low voice.

Buzz.

As his voice fell, a buzzing sound came from underground. Both of them were stunned. The next moment, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble!

Zhou Qing's expression changed slightly. He looked down and saw that the ground was shaking more and more. It seemed that there was something underground that was about to break out of the ground.

With the shaking of the earth, the rich spiritual energy in the oasis began to rage!

Bang!

Almost at the same time, Zhou Qing no longer hesitated. He stomped his foot and turned into a shadow as he flew towards the bloody sand sea.

Old man Feng was too slow to react. After seeing Zhou Qing escape, he turned around and ran.

Boom!

The moment he rushed out, the ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded. A horned root that was three feet thick broke out from the ground!

The tree root was pitch black, and as soon as it appeared, it lashed out towards Old Demon Feng. Its speed was so fast that it almost teleported.

Old Demon Feng's face changed drastically as the mana in his body boiled. However, it was too late for him to dodge and he was hit by the tree root.

Dong!

A muffled sound rang out and Old man Feng was directly sent flying. Blood spurted out from his mouth and his aura immediately weakened.

Fortunately, the direction in which the tree roots were pulled was the direction of the blood-red sea of sand. Old Demon Feng was directly pulled over the boundary and heavily smashed into the sea of sand.

The incomparably huge tree roots seemed to want to chase, but just as they were about to cross the boundary, they suddenly stopped.

It seemed to be somewhat afraid of the boundary. After a moment of hesitation, it retreated and retreated back into the ground as fast as lightning.

The oasis returned to tranquility once again. Other than the ground that had exploded, nothing else happened.

Zhou Qing stood at the side of the border, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.

The tree root had only dealt a single blow, but it had actually taken away half of Old Demon Feng's life!

Too terrifying!

Zhou Qing looked at the ancient tree with a strange expression. It was as if he could see the tree shaking slightly. His heart grew even more alarmed.

This tree, was most likely a demon as well, an extremely powerful demon!

Old man Feng had just chopped at it so many times, yet he had not been directly killed. This was already considered one of the luckiest things in the world!

"Cough, cough …"

Old man Feng coughed violently. Zhou Qing looked towards the source of the cough. The old man had finally crawled out from the sand, and his aura was extremely weak.

The clothes on his chest had already been dyed red with blood. After crawling out, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and some of his internal organs were even mixed in.

Seeing the miserable state of Old Devil Feng, Zhou Qing's mouth twitched, secretly rejoicing in his heart.

Fortunately, he had no weak hands. Otherwise, he might have lost his life after being whipped by that tree root …

"That is …" Cough cough … "A tree demon!"

Old man Feng coughed blood, his face was deathly pale, and he cried out in astonishment.

Zhou Qing was about to speak when a deafening bird cry suddenly resounded through the horizon.

Soon after, under the horrified gaze of the two, the mountain range rumbled out from within the oasis. A ten-zhang long giant bird covered in golden scales flew out from within the depths of the mountain.

The giant bird's entire body was emitting a dazzling golden light, and it was as dazzling as a small sun. As it flapped its huge wings, it actually brought up two small tornadoes, causing the spiritual energy to stir violently.

Zhou Qing immediately recognized this giant bird. It was the bird that had appeared in the outer region of the Ten Thousand Devil Cave during the mutation!

He hadn't thought that this big guy's base would be in the Oasis of the Ghost Cave!

"A terrifying Greater Demon of the Mortal Realm …"

Old man Feng raised his head and stared at the giant bird. His expression was dull as he muttered in a low voice.

Rumble …

Not long after the giant bird appeared, a loud bang came from another part of the oasis.

The earth shook as a muscular, muscular, long arm that was covered in long, black hair suddenly reached out from the ground.

If one arm was already thirty feet long, how big was the true body of this great demon?

Zhou Qing's face was deathly pale and his entire body's spiritual energy was out of control. This was the result of being separated by a boundary.

Who knew if the boundary would be broken? Once these greater demons crossed the border, just that terrifying aura alone would be enough to crush them in an instant.

This was a place he could not stay in for long!

This thought appeared in Zhou Qing's mind. He didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He turned around and used the Wind Serenity Steps. With double the speed he could muster, he began to run for his life.

What spiritual energy soil, what spiritual medicine … How could his life be more important?

The depths of the Ten Thousand Devil Cave was truly too terrifying. Moreover, this was not the core region … What terrifying existence was there in the core zone?

Old man Feng's entire body was trembling, and his aura was weak. After swallowing a handful of medicinal pills, he began to desperately flee.

At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to slap Zhou Qing to death.

If that little bastard hadn't insisted on going deeper, how could he have been injured by that tree demon and almost lose his life?

That little bastard was definitely going to screw over him, he was definitely going to do it!

At this moment, Old Devil Feng was completely confident.

In the endless sea of blood-red sand, two figures were fleeing at an incredible speed. Wherever they passed, sand and blood filled the sky.

An hour later.

Old man Feng's entire body was stained with blood. His aura was sluggish as he sat cross-legged and swallowed a bunch of pills.

The medicinal pill entered his body and turned into pure medicinal energy. His injuries were swiftly recovering and a bright light shone through his entire body.

Not far away, Zhou Qing was also sitting on a sand dune, his face pale.

Old man Feng's heart skipped a beat as killing intent surged in his narrow eyes.

Even though he had used up almost all of his mana just now in that desperate dash, this little bastard was definitely at the end of his tether.

If he were to make a move now, it was extremely likely that he would be killed in one move!

As he secretly calculated in his mind, Old Devil Feng was about to make his move. However, his expression immediately darkened and his face couldn't help but twitch.

With a wave of Zhou Qing's hand, five dried up black figures quickly flew out and hid themselves in the surroundings.

He still didn't seem to feel reassured. After thinking for a while, he turned his hand and took out two profound talismans, placing them by his side.

After this was done, Zhou Qing finally raised his head to look at Old Demon Feng. He coldly laughed, causing the latter's expression to become even more unsightly.

Zhou Qing knew perfectly well what this old fellow was planning. If not for the fact that he had such uses for him, Zhou Qing would have long since killed him.

"Five corpse ghosts is a big problem, and those two talismans …"

Old Demon Feng secretly thought to himself as he sized up Zhou Qing.

Although he didn't recognize the two dark colored talismans that the latter took out, he vaguely noticed a trace of danger.

In an instant, Old Devil Feng made up his mind.

He could not act rashly!
