Chapter 117: Chapter 118: Guardian Land
"Quickly find the elite class students transported into this realm from Sea Dragon Academy, or many people will be in danger. What worries
the most right now are Ruoxi and Jingyi." Chu Linfeng said, his gaze shifting from the two of them to the distant horizon.
"No matter what decision you make, I will support you!" Yang Rui declared resolutely, unconcerned about Tang Li’s presence, thinking that she would know about her situation sooner or later anyway.
"I also support you wholeheartedly. No matter what your attitude toward
will be in the future, I will have no regrets. I also hope, Yang Rui, that you don’t bla Chu Linfeng too much. Who wouldn’t admire and love such an outstanding man like him?"
Tang Li also spoke with determination, believing that happiness must be fought for. Although Chu Linfeng said she was his woman, she wasn’t entirely reassured until things reached that point.
"Let’s talk about the future later. Everyone should strive to improve their strength. In this world where martial prowess reigns supre, having power is essential. I, Chu Linfeng, will be responsible for each of you and hope that you all get along harmoniously."
With this remark, Chu Linfeng made Yang Rui’s identity clear. Given Tang Li’s fiery personality, the sooner she found out, the better. Yet, she remained surprisingly calm, without any reaction.
At this ti, those who went out hunting returned one after another. Seeing Chu Linfeng talking with Yang Rui and Tang Li, they sensibly didn’t disturb them.
Niu Tian and Ye Xingchen approached, "Boss, we had a good haul this ti—thirteen wild chickens, sixteen wild rabbits, and a Tier Three Magical Beast. We’ll call you once it’s ready!"
"No need, you all go ahead and eat. I have sothing to attend to, don’t worry about my safety." After speaking, Chu Linfeng used Shift Form and Shadow and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Seeing Chu Linfeng leave, everyone was puzzled. Yang Rui and Tang Li wanted to catch up and ask him what was going on, but they were powerless against Chu Linfeng’s speed.
Chu Linfeng continued using Wave-Riding Light Steps, the wind whistling past his ears. After sprinting for about ten minutes, he stopped because soone was waiting for him.
"Old Jin, what’s the matter you called
here for?" Chu Linfeng imdiately asked. Being able to transmit sound over several miles was no ordinary feat, further deepening his yearning for power.
This person was none other than the Golden Demon Vulture, transford into a middle-aged man, quietly awaiting Chu Linfeng’s arrival.
"Boss, you’ll know shortly. Climb onto my back; I’ll take you sowhere!" The middle-aged man then flashed with a golden light as the Golden Demon Vulture’s original form appeared before Chu Linfeng.
Suppressing his questions, Chu Linfeng leaped onto the Golden Demon Vulture’s back. With a "whoosh," the Golden Demon Vulture soared into the sky. Sitting on its back, Chu Linfeng only felt the wind howling past his ears, its speed like a teor, far surpassing his own Shift Form and Shadow.
It felt like a dream. Who would believe that soone uses an Eighth Rank Flying Magical Beast as a mount unless they experienced it firsthand? It was simply astounding.
Watching the scenery on the ground swiftly pass by, Chu Linfeng couldn’t help but ask, "Old Jin, where are you taking ? Is it to the cave you guard?"
"Boss, I’m indeed taking you to the cave I guard, because there’s sothing very important there that needs my protection. If I leave, others might obtain it, which is why I rushed back." The Golden Demon Vulture explained.
"Is it a Treasure of Heaven and Earth or a rare and peerless treasure? It must be extraordinary if you deem it worthy. I’m genuinely intrigued." Chu Linfeng felt a surge of excitent. If it turned out to be a Holy Jade White Lotus or a Soul Snow Grass, it would be incredible.
"Boss, what I’m guarding is actually a dicinal herb, which is about to mature soon. I don’t want anyone to discover it, so I ca out and ran into you!" The Golden Demon Vulture spoke honestly.
"What kind of herb is worth your protection? You’re an Eighth Rank Spirit Beast. Ordinary treasures shouldn’t catch your interest!" Chu Linfeng said on purpose, thinking it wouldn’t hurt to flatter the other party.
"This is a Thousand-Year-Old Fire Lotus. In three days, it will be fully mature. There is a lotus pod on the Fire Lotus with seven Fire Lotus Seeds, each containing abundant Fire Spiritual Qi. It’s an invaluable treasure."
"Fire Spiritual Qi? What is that? I’ve never heard of it," Chu Linfeng thought it surely related to the Fire Elent. Perhaps obtaining these Fire Lotus Seeds could grant him mastery over the Fire Elent.
"Fire Spiritual Qi is actually Spiritual Qi composed of the Fire Elent, a rare supplent for Martial Artists who have mastered the Fire Elent among you humans. However, obtaining it is extrely difficult.
The Fire Lotus must grow in a place with Earth Fire, and it must grow in water. Imagine, it’s nearly impossible for a place with Earth Fire to have water unless it exists in an environnt with both Earth Fire and Cold Fla.
The place I guard is precisely such a location. Earth Fire and Cold Fla coexist—Cold Fla lowers the high temperature of the Earth Fire, while Earth Fire raises the temperature of the Cold Fla, perfectly suited for the growth of the Fire Lotus.
However, harvesting the Fire Lotus is tricky. Having endured a millennium of Earth Fire and Cold Fla tempering, it’s impossible to pick it without a Divine weapon. Moreover, the Fire Lotus’s surface carries Fire Poison and Cold Poison. If you’re not careful and get touched, even an Emperor Tier Magical Beast would turn to white bones."
The Golden Demon Vulture truthfully told Chu Linfeng all he knew. It seed as if he was born with this knowledge, and his mission was to guard the Thousand-Year-Old Fire Lotus.
Seated on its back, Chu Linfeng was shocked by this news. The Fire Poison and Cold Poison on the Fire Lotus could even kill an Emperor Tier Magical Beast. Acquiring it indeed seed challenging, but thankfully, he had the Cyan Frost Sword—a Divine weapon.
Before long, the Golden Demon Vulture lowered its flight altitude and landed on a mountain peak.
"Is this the Guardian Land you ntioned?" Chu Linfeng looked around and saw nothing, prompting him to ask.
"Boss, the Guardian Land is below. It’s not that I can’t fly down, but once we enter, our power significantly diminishes. If my current strength is at the Eighth Rank pinnacle, it’ll reduce to no more than a Tier Three or Four Magical Beast inside, making it hard to carry you flying."
"Is that really the case? What exactly is happening?" Chu Linfeng found it inexplicable, as if he couldn’t believe one’s power would wane simply by entering.
"Actually, the strength doesn’t truly decrease. It’s as if you’re carrying a substantial weight inside, making movent laborious and slow."
"Gravity? Is there a gravitational force here?"
