Chapter Twenty-Three—The Mysterious Passage I
Feng Yuchong couldn't sleep for a long time, for him, he was an elder brother, and he was also a person who made an oath to protect his sister, now that he had entered the Qingming Mountain Range, it would not be so easy to leave this place, he needed to be fully prepared.
Thinking of this, Feng Yuchong couldn't help but shake his head secretly, his eyes slightly closed and stared into the dark depths of the woods in front of him, and his face was filled with an uncontrollable look of worry. Looking at the situation in front of him silently, Feng Yuchong couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
The road ahead was obvious, and if they wanted to reach the top of the mountain, they would have to pass through the woods on this side to be able to continue. Otherwise, it is only a dead end to stay here, and they can only have a chance to continue to live if they move forward.
But now, at this moment, Feng Yuchong is even more worried about the three partners who are still missing, Jiang Yuehan, Shi Lanbo and Nangong Yun, plus Luo Yinying, Yu Fei and Sun Hao, who don't know if they have come here. Feng Yuchong and his sister Feng Shanshan have been in the Qingming Mountain Range for three days now, but they still haven't received any news about their friends. This can't help but make Feng Yuchong feel a little worried, but he doesn't know what to do, now they may not even be able to protect their own lives, how can they care about others?
Feng Yuchong turned his head to look at his sister Feng Shanshan, who was lying on the rocks behind him, who was sleeping lightly, Feng Yuchong couldn't help but sigh secretly, turned around and returned to his sister's side from the edge of the mountain stream, and slowly, the surrounding sky gradually rendered a burst of morning sunlight like a fish's belly, which was like a light projected on Feng Yuchong's thin and indifferent face, projecting an astonishing essence light. Feng Yuchong took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, silently closed his eyes, and temporarily entered his own meditation. For him, the situation here is urgent, and something could threaten their lives at any time. But at least now, Feng Yuchong, who is physically and mentally exhausted, can't take care of so many things. He was now sitting next to his sister Feng Shanshan, meditating and talking to the Baoyi boy in his spiritual sea.
In the sea of spirits, Feng Yuchong's own spiritual incarnation was a very handsome looking young man, and the two in front of him were the phantoms of Baoyi Boy and Xia Yu Wangjue. When Xia Yu Wang Jue died, he passed on his ability and lifelong ability to his grandson Feng Yuchong, but Xia Yu Wang Jue's current strength Feng Yuchong could not accept it. Of course, Xia Yu Wangjue's life's skills were all sealed in Feng Yuchong's spiritual sea, and became one of the four traces of energy sealed in Feng Yuchong's spiritual sea. In fact, for Feng Yuchong, the existence of these four energy traces is destined to greatly improve Feng Yuchong's ability in the future. Even the Baoyi boy did not give Feng Yuchong as much help as these four traces of energy from Xia Yu Wangjue.
It's just that, relying on Feng Yuchong's current ability, he can only flexibly use the first of these four traces, which is also the energy trace cultivated by Xia Yu when he was a teenager. It's just that Feng Yuchong can only use a small part of this. It was precisely because of this that when Feng Yuchong raised his soul level to the third layer, he had now mastered a deeper part of it, and he had gained a great increase in strength for him. Although Feng Yuchong now seems to be just a cultivator of the third layer of the instrument soul, in fact, his strength has already far surpassed that of a cultivator of the same level as him, and even her sister Feng Shanshan, a talented girl, is actually not his opponent. Therefore, Feng Yuchong's protection of his sister is not just a possibility in the future, and now he can indeed protect his sister.
Now, the main reason why Feng Yuchong entered the meditation realm and entered his spiritual sea was to increase his understanding of Xia Yu's phantom spirit and the traces of energy in his body, once Baoyi Tongzi told him that if he wanted to go further, he still needed two crucial steps. Baoyi Boy told Feng Yuchong that maybe at some point, he would be able to give Feng Yuchong a different kind of support, so that he could successfully use the breath he had adjusted and the energy traces inside him, and it would be possible to activate the high-intensity power of the first energy trace given to him by Xia Yu's phantom spirit in the shortest possible time.
It's just that Feng Yuchong also understands that during this period of time, Baoyi Boy has resisted a tentative attack of the Holy Emperor for himself last time, so now Baoyi Boy has no chance to improve Feng Yuchong's current ability again, but the last time Baoyi Boy released almost all the potential in Feng Yuchong's body, and this also makes Baoyi Boy in Feng Yuchong's spiritual sea basically unable to use such skills again. For the Baoyi Boy and Xia Yu Phantom Spirit in Feng Yuchong's Spirit Sea, they can't give Feng Yuchong such a powerful power again, and if Feng Yuchong wants to master this kind of ability again, he may need to use his own efforts. Although, this road may still be a difficult test for Feng Yuchong now. Of course, these are not abilities that Feng Yuchong can master now, and it will take a long time to explore and silently cultivate, and he may have a chance to achieve them in the future.
As the sky gradually lit up, Feng Yuchong also ended his short period of meditation, and after he stood up from his meditation position, he immediately walked to his sister's side. Quietly looking at his sister Feng Shanshan beside him, Feng Yuchong's face showed an extremely complicated look.
It had been three days since he and his sister had been here, and the last two days had been a time of crisis for them except the first day, and even after a night of rest, they were not very at ease, and no one knew what kind of difficulties awaited them after that. Thinking of this, Feng Yuchong couldn't help but let out a long sigh, gently stroking his sister's soft long hair, and silently sighed in his heart.
In this way, Feng Shanshan, who was asleep next to Feng Yuchong, suddenly woke up, her beautiful eyes opened slightly, and she silently gently rubbed her eyes. Feng Shanshan saw her brother Feng Yuchong with a serious face beside her, and Feng Shanshan's originally dizzy head suddenly became sober and clear. She got up from the rock, looked at her brother Feng Yuchong beside her with some nervousness, and asked softly, "Brother, did you keep hearing the sound of a tiger roaring last night?" Feng Shanshan's pretty face showed an extremely worried look.
Feng Yuchong nodded lightly and comforted gently: "Shanshan, don't worry, there haven't been any other sounds since yesterday" Feng Yuchong did not deny it, last night in the middle of the night, there was indeed a long-lasting tiger roar from the woods in front of him. And when they entered the woods last evening in search of fruit to eat, they did not hear such a tiger roar. This made Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan a little suspicious at that time. However, last night they didn't have the energy to dig into the reasons for this. Feng Yuchong didn't close his eyes all night, but now, Feng Yuchong didn't care about his tired body at all, they had to enter the depths of the woods in front of them today, and find the way to the top of Qianchen Peak, the first peak of the Qingming Mountain Range.
Feng Yu straightened out the clothes on his body, and Feng Shanshan turned his back to change his clothes, it was impossible for them to find a place to clean up in this place where there was no village and no store in front of them. Even if she is a young girl like Feng Shanshan, she can only wipe her body with a towel, and then change into a new dress. However, this situation still made Feng Shanshan a little unhappy, and the situation that continued to come was still unknown, which couldn't help but make Feng Shanshan feel even more helpless and worried.
Feng Yuchong comforted his sister beside him softly, and after the two of them continued to sit on the rock together and ate two or three of the last tree fruits they had picked, the two siblings stood up. Silently gazing at the seemingly secluded woods not far from them. Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan both knew very well in their hearts now that they had to fight through this forest to find a way to the peak of Qianchen Peak today.
Feng Yuchong took his sister Feng Shanshan together, and the two siblings entered the forest in front of them from the only passage outside the woods. As soon as they entered this forest, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan did not feel anything different, and the outer part of this forest was still the place where Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan had picked tree fruits. Not only is the environment very beautiful, but there are also all kinds of sturdy-looking fruit trees growing around, and you won't feel any of the murderous power that fills this place here.
Yesterday, when Feng Yuchong and his sister Feng Shanshan left this place, they made a simple mark under an old tree in the deepest part of the place, to put it bluntly, Feng Shanshan used the nine-turn meteor wheel in his hand to rotate, and made a mark under this inconspicuous-looking old tree. It was precisely for this reason that Feng Yuchong and his sister Feng Shanshan had basically just passed the shortest path to this rugged-looking old tree, and on this old tree, Feng Shanshan keenly noticed a clear scratch engraved on it by her Soul Meteor Wheel that she used. Feng Shanshan smiled and said to her brother beside her, "Brother, look, shouldn't we continue from here now?"
Feng Yuchong nodded with a smile, he gently pulled away the rattan of the small tree that grew horizontally in front of him, and took his sister through this old tree with a slight hint of horizontal growth to continue to move towards the interior of this forest. As for whether the depths of this forest were still as gentle as the periphery of this forest, this was something that neither Feng Yuchong nor Feng Shanshan knew. What they can do now is to adapt to the situation, and the second is to resign themselves to fate.
