Blood Scorpion and Old Wang were standing next to them. Blood Scorpion watched for a while and couldn't hold it back anymore. He helped stop a few people who were running towards the corner and threw them back to the middle. They cooperated quite well.
Old Wang stood aside, found a stone to sit on, opened the bag of dry food, and started eating supper.
After a full two-quarters of an hour, the valley became quiet.
There were more than seventy people, some lying down, some sitting, and some leaning against the stone wall. They were in various kinds of embarrassments, but everyone's hands were empty.
Lin Feng squatted down, spread a handful of space rings that he had taken off tonight on the ground, sorted them out, then stood up and clapped his hands:
"Okay, you can go."
No one moved immediately.
Then, more than seventy people began to climb almost at the same time, retreating towards the exit of the valley at different speeds.
The last one to run out was the shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce who was pretending to be polite. His legs were a little weak and he walked unsteadily. When he walked to the exit, he looked back at Lin Feng and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't. He lowered his head and ran away.
Lin Feng counted the rings and divided a pile in front of Blood Scorpion and Old Wang.
"Check what's there, keep the ones that can be used, and use the ones that can't or are not used to exchange for money later."
Blood Scorpion grabbed his pile, his eyes lit up:
"Master, there is one here with two Divine Marquis Realm Breakthrough Pill inside...!"
"Keep it for yourself."
"There is also a large piece of high-grade spiritual crystal ore...!"
"You take it."
"There is another one with a pair of underwear inside."
"... Throw it away."
Old Wang carefully rummaged through his pile beside him, picked out a jade slip from it, opened it, took a look at it, and handed it to Lin Feng:
"Master, take a look at this. It's a map. It marks the locations of several boundaries to the north of Wild Domain. Some places... are marked as restricted areas."
Lin Feng took it and took a quick glance under the moonlight. The three words "Boundless Wastes" appeared in the upper right corner of the map. Next to it were four red letters. "Those who enter will not return."
He took the jade slip into his arms, raised his head, and glanced at the sky beyond the valley.
The sky is full of stars, due north, and nothing can be seen in the darkness in the distance.
"There is one thing that needs to be done before setting off." He pressed the piece of iron through his clothes and felt the warm vibration. "Find a quiet place and deal with this thing first."
After leaving the valley and walking further north for twenty miles, the terrain began to rise and fall, with hilltops following hilltops, vegetation sparse, and almost no human traces visible.
Lin Feng stopped at the top of a mountain that looked strong enough. He walked around the top of the mountain to make sure there was no one within two miles, then found a leeward cave and got into it.
The hole is not big and can accommodate four or five people. There is a flat rock in the depth. Lin Feng sat down on it, crossed his legs, took out the black iron piece from his arms, and placed it in the palm of his hand.
Blood Scorpion and Old Wang stood guard at the entrance of the cave, one on the left and one on the right, without speaking.
Lin Feng looked down at the iron piece in the palm of his hand. The previous vibration had not stopped during the time when the two pieces were close to each other, but he had deliberately suppressed it to prevent it from spreading on its own.
Now, let go.
The vibrations of the two fragments suddenly intensified at the moment of contact, and then starting from the palm of Lin Feng, the entire right hand was enveloped by a deep, almost invisible black light. The light did not emit outwards, but only surged inwards, deep into the Dantian, and toward the core of the stacked seals.
Lin Feng Close your eyes.
He could feel the two pieces slowly approaching, overlapping, and interlocking, like two pieces of a puzzle being pushed together, and the lines on the edges aligned little by little, click, click, and that sense of fit brought with it an inexplicable comfort, like something that had been lost for a long time had finally been found.
Then, the shadow appeared.
In his consciousness space, the incomplete shadow of the ax underwent some changes after the fragments merged in - one-third of the ax blade became clear from blur, and lines began to appear. Each line was filled with some kind of primitive power that he couldn't explain, and that power had the kind of temperament that shattered all laws that Heaven-Splitting only had when it opened up the world.
One third.
It's not much, but it's starting to take shape.
Lin Feng looked at the phantom ax in his mind, and made a rough estimate in his mind: Including the previously fused piece, it is now about one-third stronger, which is still far from complete, but it is enough for this artifact to begin to "recognize a person" - it begins to accept him, and begins to slowly release to him the traces of power hidden deep at the bottom.
This is Pangu Axe.
Lin Feng thought silently in his consciousness.
Primordial World Over there, so many people died for this thing, and he almost lost his life himself.
Finally he caught up.
The process of fusing the two pieces lasted about a quarter of an hour.
Then, the power began to pour in.
It was not a gradual, gentle improvement, but a very sudden, massive, and intensive influx of energy, like a floodgate being suddenly opened and the entire river turned upside down.
Lin Feng In the first three seconds, he almost lost the sense of control over his body. The force was much greater than he expected, overwhelming, squeezing into every meridian, every bone, and every inch of skin in his body.
Under the impact of that force, the outermost layer of the cultivation seal began to crack.
Breaking through is never a gentle process that happens naturally. It is a wall that is blasted open from the inside, carrying noise, debris, and uncontrolled airflow.
"Buzz--!!!!"
In the cave, the flat rock failed to hold up for the first time and exploded. The gravel on the mountain wall began to peel off. The rock layers accumulated for hundreds of millions of years cracked from the inside. The cracks expanded outward, extending to the entrance of the cave, to the mountain, and to the entire mountain.
Breakthrough in cultivation, Mid God King Stage.
It's not a slow promotion, it's a sudden rush after being compressed for a long time, and it's a direct step.
At the same time, the strength of the physical body has also made a leap in this round of energy reshaping - bones, meridians, and skin, every part has been washed by the power of Pangu, the density has increased, and the toughness has increased. In the end, the heavy and heavy feeling is not like God King Realm's physical body, but closer to some higher-level tyrannical physique that can crush the same level simply by strength.
Blood Scorpion was standing guard at the entrance of the cave and was the first to feel the abnormality.
First, his feet began to tremble slightly. He thought it was an illusion. He glanced down and saw that the gravel beside his feet began to bounce. It was not an earthquake, but some kind of power vibration spreading out from the cave.
