That one-sided massacre that took place outside the waterfall, which could be called Dimensional Reduction Strike's, had an unparalleled, even subversive, spiritual impact on Chu Mengxi.
After returning to the cave, she was in a trance for several days. She would often wake up from her dreams and replay the scene of the thirteen figures turning into ashes over and over in her mind.
The look in Lin Feng's eyes has completely changed. It is full of the most primitive awe and fear, and he no longer dares to have any extra thoughts.
She finally understood that in the face of the absolute power of Lin Feng, any strategies and calculations seemed so feeble and ridiculous.
Lin Feng is happy to be quiet.
He could clearly feel that after that neat "clearance", the number of eyes around him that were like flies, spying secretly, had decreased by 99%.
The remaining few are just hanging hundreds of miles away, not daring to get close at all.
This gave him a rare period of peace to stabilize the realm he had just broken through.
On this day, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, and two gray electric lights flashed in his eyes. He cast his gaze on Chu Mengxi, who was meticulously wiping his sword in the corner of the cave.
"Your injury should be almost healed."
He asked calmly, his voice echoing in the empty cave.
Hearing Lin Feng's voice, Chu Mengxi's body tensed subconsciously, he quickly put down his sword, stood up and answered respectfully.
"Already healed."
"Now that the injury is healed, it's time to talk about your 'value'."
Lin Feng's tone was emotionless, as if he was talking about an item, "Zhang Cheng sent you here, risking a narrow escape, just to give me a ring, and then become a follower who knows nothing, right?"
Chu Mengxi's delicate body trembled almost imperceptibly, and her heart tightened, knowing that the topic was finally here.
She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calmer.
"This time, in addition to presenting Sumeru Ring, I did... indeed brought you a piece of top-secret information about the fate of the country."
"Say."
Lin Feng's answer is always so concise and concise.
"I wonder, have you heard of 'Dragon-Suppressing Stone'?"
Chu Mengxi raised his head cautiously, observing Lin Feng's reaction, trying to catch a trace of emotional fluctuations.
However, Lin Feng's eyes were Ancient Well so calm that she couldn't see through the depth at all.
"Never heard of it."
Chu Mengxi was secretly happy, she was afraid that if Lin Feng knew everything, her value would be greatly reduced.
She quickly organized her words and began to explain.
"Dragon-Suppressing Stone is a god-defying artifact left over from ancient times. Legend has it that the dragon vein in my Emperor Xia room can last for thousands of years and the country is stable because of the dragon vein. In the place of the dragon's eye, there is suppressed a 'Dragon-Anchoring Pearl' that is connected to the national destiny. This bead gathers the luck of the world and nourishes the royal bloodline, so that Xia Family has the birth of geniuses from generation to generation."
"And Dragon-Suppressing Stone, according to ancient records, is the only divine object that can restrain or even replace Dragon-Anchoring Pearl. It has the terrifying power to cut off, transfer, and even kill dragon veins."
Speaking of this, Chu Mengxi's voice lowered a bit, with a hint of confusion.
"In other words, whoever can get Dragon-Suppressing Stone may... shake the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty's national destiny!"
"So, Emperor Xia dreams about this thing?"
Lin Feng's mouth curved into a playful arc.
The dynamometer stone tablet of Demon Suppression Division contains Dragon-Suppressing Stone.
Or rather, fragments of Dragon-Suppressing Stone.
This is a bit meaningful...
"Exactly!"
Chu Mengxi said with certainty, "For many years, Emperor Xia and Demon Suppression Division have tried their best to secretly search for the whereabouts of Dragon-Suppressing Stone, but they have found nothing. And Mengxi... During a mission, by chance, I obtained a residual map of the location of Dragon-Suppressing Stone from an ancient monk's cave, as well as the only key to unlocking that ancient secret realm."
As she spoke, she seemed to want to increase the credibility of her words. From the well-protected waterproof bag in her arms, she took out an ancient animal skin map that exuded a vicissitude of life, and a strangely shaped bronze key, and presented them with both hands.
"This... is what Zhang Cheng asked you to give it to me?"
Lin Feng looked at her, his eyes as sharp as knives, as if they could penetrate her body and look straight into her soul.
Chu Mengxi was flustered by him, feeling that all his thoughts had been seen through, but he still bit the bullet and said according to the lines he had rehearsed countless times in advance, "What Mr. Manager means is that Emperor Xia now regards you as a serious problem and wants to get rid of it quickly. If you can get Dragon-Suppressing Stone first, you can use it as a bargaining chip to completely disrupt Emperor Xia's position and make him use it as a weapon. Even..."
She paused and said the most tempting word, "Replace it!"
What he said was truly upright and touching.
Lin Feng sneered in his heart.
Zhang Cheng This old fox, the abacus beads almost fell into my face.
What does it mean to let yourself be a pathfinder?
This is simply the ultimate combination of the demolition team + Treasure-Seeking Mouse + shield + scapegoat!
Since Emperor Xia and Demon Suppression Division can't be found in that ancient secret realm, it must be extremely dangerous and filled with murderous intent. To say that there is a narrow escape from death would be considered optimistic.
Let yourself, the "public enemy of the world," go and succeed. If he succeeds, he Zhang Cheng will be able to reap the benefits and get Dragon-Suppressing Stone, a chess piece that can overturn the chessboard.
If he failed and died inside, he would just get rid of his increasingly uncontrollable "variable", and he would not lose anything.
As for the so-called "replacement", it is even more nonsense. It is just trying to satisfy hunger.
But...
"It's interesting."
Lin Feng stretched out his hand and took the map and key.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Emperor Xia wants to grab what he wants, even if it turns out to be a useless brick after I get it, it will still disgust him to death.
What's more, "ancient secret realm", when heard, these four words represent countless "power banks" and massive treasures of heaven, materials and earth.
If you don't take away the treasure, it will be unforgivable.
As for Zhang Cheng's plan? In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just like chickens and dogs, and can be crushed with one punch.
Lin Feng stood up and threw the map and key back to her.
"Lead the way."
His tone was calm but unquestionable.
"Yes."
Chu Mengxi lowered his head, took the map and key, and felt happy.
"Squeak!"
Huang Fugui got out of Lin Feng's arms, jumped on his shoulders, and waved his little paw at Chu Mengxi, as if urging him.
One person, one mouse, and one guide walked out of the cave that had been hidden for many days.
We officially set off towards the ancient forbidden land named "Fallen Dragon Ancient Forest" marked on the map.
