"Okay, it's a deal!"
This time, the dark-skinned fatty was quite straightforward. He asked his subordinates to support Hua Pi down to the cellar first, while he stayed behind to accompany Du Feng down the cellar. The stairs leading to the cellar were longer than he had imagined. The stairs were not dug out from the soil but were paved with ancient bricks. There was no dust on them. The life of these desolate people was not as bad as he had imagined.
When Du Feng first saw Xiaoling, he thought that the desolate people were the kind of people who didn't know their next meal and struggled at the bottom line of life. But looking at how clean the stairs were, it seemed that the boss here was someone who paid attention to detail. After making a few turns and descending about five floors, they finally arrived at a room in the cellar.
The room was not spacious. There was a small night pearl hanging on the ceiling, but the light was barely enough.
"Are you the one who wanted to see me?"
A person turned around and looked at Du Feng with a smile. His face was very pale, and he had a head of silver-gray hair. His white robe was spotless, and he was very different from the other desolate people. If he was not wrong, he should have not left the cellar for many years. His body was standard, and he was not the bloated fatty that he had imagined. There was only one thing that was very special, and that was that this person's nails were very long.
"You go ahead, I'll just take a look."
As he said that, Du Feng really started to walk around the room. He looked here and there, as if he was recording something.
"You want to find the formation eye, right?"
Seeing how arrogant Du Feng was, everyone was stunned. But the boss was not in a hurry. He waited for him to finish walking around the room before asking. He was right, Du Feng wanted to see what the place that could control the Spirit Extinction Formation looked like. Generally speaking, the most convenient place to control the formation was where the formation eye was.
"Sorry, you saw through me. You know formations too?"
Since he was seen through, he might as well admit it. Du Feng had always been so thick-skinned. He was indeed very interested in this ancient Spirit Extinction Formation. If he could learn it, even if he met a group of experts, he could use the formation to deal with them.
"There's no need to look for it. I've been looking for it for three hundred years and I still haven't found it."
Huang Xiao said this in a relaxed and natural manner, but it was Du Feng who was shocked. If he couldn't find it for three hundred years, didn't that mean that he had been here for at least three hundred years? There was another problem that needed to be considered. It was very likely that he wasn't a primitive desolate dweller from the ruins.
"Are you from outside?"
The outside that Du Feng was referring to was, of course, not the outside of the ruins or the Burial Grounds, but the outside world outside the Burial Grounds of the Dragon.
"Yes, I'm from the outside world. Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Huang Xiao had already expected him to ask this because Du Feng wasn't the first to do so. Among the adventurers in the past, there were also people who could defeat Hua Pi, Black Fatty, and the others without using True Essence, and then came down to the cellar to ask him this question.
"I am also curious about how you manage these Wilderness Dwellers."
Du Feng continued to speak as he continued to observe every corner of the room. This included every crevice in the floor, every crack on the wall, and so on.
"You will know this question very soon, so don't waste your time."
Huang Xiao knew that he was stalling for time. There were only two goals: to let Xiao Ling take the opportunity to run away, or to find an opportunity to break the formation. In a place like the Burial Grounds, where could a little girl run to? The Ancient Absolute Spirit Formation wasn't that easy to break. Even if the complete formation diagram was placed here, she might not be able to understand it.
"Boss is going to make a move."
"Yes, yes, let's hide further away."
The Wilderness Dwellers were obviously very afraid of Huang Xiao. They all left the room and hid on the stairs. Even Hua Pi, who was in a half-paralyzed state, was carried over. In the next moment, Huang Xiao moved, not giving Du Feng a chance to continue asking questions. His figure disappeared from where he stood, and the room was instantly filled with white afterimages.
He was running, running very quickly. Because he was too fast, he pulled out many afterimages. Visually, it was as if he had turned into countless blurry Huang Xiao. And his real body was nowhere to be seen.
What a fast speed. Du Feng quickly retreated to a wall and pulled out the Silver Dragon Sword. This time, he didn't close his eyes. Instead, he used his peripheral vision to scan the entire room. This person was able to display a speed that wasn't any weaker than a mystic class movement technique without using his true essence. He was indeed not simple.
Among martial artists' movement techniques, yellow-class, human-class, and even mortal-class were nothing. As long as he trained his body well, he could reach that speed without using his true essence. But once he reached the mystic class, it wasn't a problem that could be solved by just having strong explosive power and fast speed. Without the support of true essence, it was very difficult to make all kinds of changes in angles and sudden stops when turning. If he was not careful, he might even break his own joints.
If it was any other time, Du Feng could casually display an earth-class movement technique and instantly kill his opponent's mystic class speed. But now, he couldn't use his true essence. Although he had strong explosive power with his physical body, he wasn't as agile. He couldn't show off when it was a matter of life and death. It was safer to lean against the wall to reduce the area of attack.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh …"
The white figures in the room were getting denser. It was too late for Du Feng to leave now.
"Clang!"
He felt that something was wrong and subconsciously blocked with his sword. It happened to collide with Huang Xiao's sharp claws. This was the subconscious of people who had been practicing martial arts for a long time. Many times, even if they couldn't see clearly, they would subconsciously make an action to protect themselves.
So fast, so fast. Until the moment they collided, Du Feng didn't see his opponent's movement technique clearly. It was as if a white whirlwind blew past and swept him away.
"Zi la!"
There was a strange sound in the room, as if someone was scratching the wall with an iron tool. Du Feng immediately figured out that it was the sound of the desolate leader's claws scratching the wall. No wonder he had such long nails. It turned out that he wanted to use them as weapons. No matter how flexible the weapon was, it was not as flexible as the nails on his own hands. In order to display this speed, he obviously lost a lot of other opportunities, such as using weapons and attacking strength.
Through the collision just now, Du Feng should have judged that his opponent wasn't strong. If he wanted to hurt people, he must rely on speed and the sharpness of his claws. As long as he could protect his whole body, he definitely wouldn't be hurt. Things didn't seem to be as simple as he thought. Huang Xiao's scratching on the wall wasn't a mistake, but a way to speed up.
"Dang dang dang …"
Du Feng's sword continued to block, and the vibration was much stronger than before. Although his opponent wasn't very strong, his speed could also produce destructive power when it was fast to a certain extent. He tightly guarded his face and neck to prevent being scratched by the claws, but at this moment, his body tightened. Then he heard a Zi la sound, and his clothes were torn.
