Strangely enough, this giant heart looked like flesh and blood, but when Xia Fei actually attacked it, he discovered that it was actually a plant!
It was hard to imagine that a plant could have the appearance of a human organ, and that it could grow to such a large size in this desolate dark space.
Wood against wood!
The entrance to the Dark Spring was a wood-type plant, and Xia Fei's Peacock Blue was also wood-type!
The difference was that Peacock Blue was an Immemorial Mystical Armament! It was a powerful wood-type weapon of mass destruction!
* Rumble! *
Peacock Blue's five branches, which were more than a thousand meters long, were covered in Flowers of Death. These flowers formed from energy crystals were extremely tough, and when Peacock Blue stirred them, these white flowers were like countless blades! They were even sharper than the strongest drill!
* Bang! *
With a loud bang, Xia Fei carved out a path on his own, passing through the heart of this giant plant and entering a strange yet mysterious world. The Quiet Spring!
As far as the eye could see, there were passageways and strange plants everywhere.
These plants were of different sizes, and almost all of them had the appearance of organs. Some looked like hearts beating, while others looked like lungs breathing. It was strange and terrifying.
At the same time that Xia Fei arrived at the mysterious Dark Spring, something strange was happening on a planet under the control of the Dark Golem Race called Dunamei.
There was a temple at the end of the hill. Countless people living here were preparing to go to the temple to worship. It had just rained last night and the hill was filled with mud. However, these believers were using a strange method to approach the temple. They were crawling!
Be it men or women, old or young, everyone was crawling forward in the mud, their attitudes extremely pious. A middle-aged Dark Golem woman was even carrying a child who had just turned one year old on her back.
Besides the mud, there were many sharp rocks on the mountain path, and the slightest carelessness could result in injuries. However, these difficulties could not stop them. It was as if in their eyes, the more difficulties there were, the more sincerity they could display.
* Whoosh ~ *
At the foot of the mountain, a spatial passage suddenly opened, and two well-dressed men walked out. Unlike the impoverished locals, they were wearing elegant suits, and their shoes were spotless. Just this set of clothes could probably be exchanged for more money than the commoners could spend in a lifetime.
Both were bald, and they had the same resolute chin, facial features, and even temperament. The only difference was the tattoo on their faces, one on the left and one on the right.
Pa ~
Without any hesitation, the two bald men crawled on the ground like the ordinary people, not caring that the mud would stain their luxurious coats.
Swish swish swish ~
The two of them moved very quickly. In a short while, they had climbed to the front door of the temple. They stood up and walked in side by side. The whole process was almost silent.
The temple was low and dark, and there didn't seem to be anything special about it. Only when one walked in would they discover that the temple was actually worshiping a skeleton! A pile of white bones!
The skeleton's body was adorned with all sorts of jewels. These were all offerings from the believers to the temple. Every night, the people of the temple would quietly remove the jewels to maintain the daily consumption. But the next day, the skeleton would once again be adorned with even more offerings than the day before.
The two bald men bowed deeply to the skeleton, but they didn't stop. Instead, they flashed through the small door at the back, and entered the backyard.
There wasn't a cold atmosphere here, and the garden was filled with all sorts of beautiful flowers and plants. An old woman was sitting on the grass, her face full of wrinkles, and had been smeared with something similar to lime. Her white hair fluttered in the wind, and she looked somewhat like a barbarian priest.
The two bald men walked over and knelt down on one knee, and called out softly: "Aunt."
The old woman opened her eyes slightly, and threw out a wooden humanoid puppet from her sleeve. This small puppet had just landed on the grass, and it immediately broke into pieces, becoming a pile of wood.
The two bald men were startled, and asked curiously: "This person is already dead? Who is he? "
The Dark Puppet clan was born with a life bonded puppet. Now that this life bonded puppet was completely broken, it meant that its master was dead, and in a very tragic manner, brutally killed by the enemy!
The old woman's face twitched, and she said in a low voice: "My son, your cousin."
The four eyes were filled with suspicion. They clearly remembered that their aunt had never married, so where did this cousin come from?
The old woman's face was expressionless, or perhaps it was the thick layer of ash that prevented others from seeing her expression. In short, the old woman spoke with a cold tone: "The reason I left my clan to live here alone, is because I had a child that was sired by a human."
The two bald men frowned, but didn't say anything. After all, the matters of their elders weren't something they could interfere with.
However, the fact that their aunt's sired child was actually a mixed-blood human caused them to be very surprised. Everyone knew that the two clans opposed each other, it was no wonder their aunt was exiled. A sired child of a god and demon was an unacceptable existence in any clan, and their aunt had already committed a huge crime.
"We will deal with this matter, but according to the clan's rules, his father also has to die." The bald man with the tattoo on the left side of his face said calmly.
The old woman laughed bitterly: "No need, your cousin's father is called Xiang Jincheng, and he's already dead. I have nothing to say about his death, but my son must be paid with blood!"
The two bald men nodded slightly, agreeing to the old woman's request.
Her eyes were calm, and she took one last look at this world, and from her sleeve, she pulled out a knife, a sharp knife that could cut one's throat.
* Puchi *
With a wave of her wrist, the knife stabbed into her old neck. The old woman was still expressionless, and she didn't even make a sound, even though blood was slowly flowing out of her mouth.
Her two nephews stood by the side and watched the tragedy unfold without any intention of stopping it.
The old man used all his strength to push the blade and cut off his own head!
* Bang *
Blood spurted out three feet high! The scene was too horrible to look at!
The bald man with the tattoo on the left side of his face didn't wait for the old woman's head to fall to the ground and reached out to catch it. Thick blood sprayed all over the two brothers, but they remained expressionless and unmoving.
The two bald men looked at each other, and the one with the tattoo raised the head and said in a low voice, "My aunt wants to die as a sacrifice. This is the reward."
With that said, he carefully put his aunt's head into his spatial ring, and the two brothers turned around and left, allowing the vultures to swoop down and tear apart their aunt's corpse.
The entire process was cruel and callous to the extreme!
Just how cold-blooded must these creatures be to watch as their kin cut off their own heads?!
An Chi was an ordinary member of the Demon Race, but the two bald men and the old man's family were not ordinary at all, because they were surnamed Bei Ning!
Cold-blooded killers! The Benin clan!
Dark space, Quiet Spring.
Just as the old demon lord Oro had said, Quiet Spring was an independent ecosystem. Many strange plants grew here, all of them colorful and mysterious.
For example, there was a large tree that looked ordinary, but the fruit it bore looked like a kidney, and when one bit into it, it would spit out a sweet and sour juice that tasted pretty good.
Those who did not know what was going on would think that they had arrived at hell on earth, but in truth, not only were these strange and terrifying plants harmless, they even contained a lot of energy. The people of Quiet Spring relied on these plants to survive.
There was also soil, air, and a lake here. The living conditions here were no different from those in a normal space, just that their shapes and colors were very strange.
Xia Fei was not in the mood to appreciate the wondrous scenery before him. He was here for Prophet Han You, an old demon living in Quiet Spring. His current mission was to find him as soon as possible and avoid direct conflict with the warriors living in Quiet Spring.
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei moved very quickly, making his way through the corridor filled with strange plants. The corridor was circular, and the plants were evenly distributed on both sides, above his head, and below his feet. There was no pattern to them at all.
The dark space was originally a mass of darkness, but there was light in Quiet Spring, and the light came from a plant that looked very much like a rushweed. Their fruits reminded Xia Fei of a dish, the Nine Turns Intestines, which were even more dazzling than the brightest fluorescent lights. Xia Fei did not need any life support or night vision to move around in Quiet Spring.
Breath Control and the dense vegetation provided Xia Fei with very good protection. Aside from the heavily guarded entrance to the Dark Spring, which made it very dangerous, Xia Fei entered the interior of the Dark Spring as though he had entered an uninhabited land. No one would be able to discover him or stop him.
"Another fork. Where should I go?" Xia Fei stopped and crouched under a tree as he asked.
It had been more than two hours since he entered Quiet Spring, and Xia Fei only realized after passing through one fork after another that Quiet Spring was actually very large, much larger than he had imagined. He had not seen a single person in these two hours, and he had no idea where they had all hidden themselves.
The old demon lord shook his head and helplessly said, "This place is called Quiet Spring not only because it's located in a dark and chaotic space, but also because the terrain here is constantly changing. Even the locals often encounter mishaps and end up getting trapped in these long corridors. You don't have to worry. All you need to do is capture a local and have him lead the way."
Xia Fei frowned and sternly said, "Why would I be asking you if there's someone I can capture? I should've brought a live one in from the entrance. "
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei's two feet pushed off the ground and continued forward. This time, he had changed his strategy. Every time he encountered a fork, he would take the left path. Going in the same direction was the only way out of this maze, and Xia Fei hoped that this little trick would work here as well.
After making another turn, Xia Fei suddenly sped up and charged forward! This was because a group of Fiends had appeared a dozen or so miles ahead!
There were about thirty warriors in this group, and they were all riding on their respective Demon Chrysalises like nomads riding horses.
