"I will not accept this!"
The head that had shot up into the sky let out an extremely venomous roar before stopping abruptly.
Ye Chen shook his head. If he had known this earlier, he would not have gotten involved in this mess.
Putting away the Sky Hunter Master's storage ring, Ye Chen flicked out his finger. An extremely sharp Green Lotus Sword Qi shot out, shattering the golden thorns on the Dream-eating Wolf's body. The Dream-eating Wolf got out, growling at Ye Chen as the wounds on its body slowly healed.
"You've done well. There will be a reward for you."
Nodding satisfyingly, Ye Chen flew toward Murong Qingcheng.
"Are you alright?"
Murong Qingcheng shook her head, "I'm alright, but I let the Tyrant Bear escape."
After being blown away by Murong Qingcheng's Sky Demon Finger, the Tyrant Bear knew that it was not good, so it escaped immediately. On the other hand, Murong Qingcheng had to deal with the Sky Hunter Master, so she did not chase after it.
Ye Chen said, "It's just a demonic beast. It's not a big deal."
No matter how powerful the Tyrant Bear was, it was only a demonic beast. Its intelligence was limited, and it was not as cunning as the Yin Demon Master and the Sky Hunter Master. Therefore, it would not be much of a threat to Ye Chen.
"Come, let's go underground."
The purpose of this trip was the Phoenix Plume Tree, and Ye Chen would not forget it.
Instead of going down through the tunnel, the two men and the wolf directly penetrated the ground and arrived at a depth of more than six thousand meters below the main peak of Mount Wan Xiong. Whoosh! The sound of flowing water came from an underground river of unknown length. The river was more than a hundred meters wide. Beside the rocks by the river, there was a three-meter-tall multicolored tree. Red was the main color of the tree, making it look magnificent and noble.
"This is the Phoenix Plume Tree?"
The gazes of the two humans and one wolf were focused on the colorful tree.
This tree was different from ordinary trees. Its entire body seemed to be made of red jade, and its surface emitted a multicolored glow. It didn't have many branches, but it was just right. At the joints of some branches, there were fruits hanging down. These fruits looked like bananas, but they were flatter than bananas. They were about a foot long, and there were patterns of phoenix tails engraved on the surface. The astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations caused the origin energy here to be much denser. It was a good place to meditate and cultivate.
"One Phoenix Plume Fruit is equivalent to one thousand years of maturity. There are twelve Phoenix Plume Fruits here, which means they are at least twelve thousand years old."
Seeing the Phoenix-Plume Tree and the Phoenix-Plume Fruit, Murong Qingcheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Wu wu wu!
The Dream-eating Wolf wagged its tail. Although it was its first time seeing the Phoenix Plume Fruit, the smell it emitted made it feel very comfortable.
Ye Chen said, "The Phoenix Plume Fruit can strengthen your body and heal any internal injuries. At the same time, it also has the effect of nourishing Yin and Yang. You still can't take it?"
He originally wanted to let Murong Qingcheng refine some of the Dragon Blood Plants and extract the Dragon Power inside. It should be known that Murong Qingcheng's demon body was much stronger than the spirit body. A rank two demon body was even stronger than a rank three spirit body, so it could hold more Dragon Power.
Murong Qingcheng said, "Spirit plants and pellets that are useful to human warriors are basically useless to me. Only those medicinal herbs that are close to the Demons are useful to me."
After knowing that she couldn't refine the Dragon Blood Plants, she understood that she had embarked on a completely different path from human warriors.
"That's too bad!"
Ye Chen patted the Dream-eating Wolf's head and flew to the side of the Phoenix Plume Tree.
"Up!"
With a wave of his right hand, an unparalleled power acted on the Phoenix Plume Tree and the surrounding area. Boom! The underground river surged violently, and the Phoenix Plume Tree and the surrounding land were uprooted and floated in the air. However, the Phoenix Plume Fruit on the Phoenix Plume Tree didn't move at all, as if it was embedded in the tree.
Bang!
Holding a Phoenix Plume Fruit in his left hand, Ye Chen pulled it with all his strength. The powerful force acted on the Phoenix Plume Fruit, and he barely managed to pick it off. At the same time, the sound of steel breaking could be heard.
"It's too tight. Even with a hundred thousand pounds of strength, I can barely pick it off."
Ye Chen was secretly shocked.
"Here!"
Ye Chen threw the Phoenix Plume Fruit to the Dream-eating Wolf.
Awooo!
The Dream-eating Wolf jumped up and bit on the Phoenix Plume Fruit. The wounds on its body had not fully recovered yet, and it needed time to recover. With the Phoenix Plume Fruit, it would not have to worry about that anymore. Plus, the Phoenix Plume Fruit could make its body even stronger, and it could also nourish its Qi and blood.
"So big, I guess it can barely fit in a mid-rank storage ring. I still need a top-rank storage ring. Otherwise, when I have more things in the future, I won't have anywhere to put them." Although a storage ring could be put into a storage ring, a low-rank storage ring had too little space, and could not hold too big of a thing. Even if you had ten thousand of them, they would only be able to hold soul stones. If I had a top-rank storage ring, all of these problems would be solved, since the storage space of a top-rank storage ring was ten times bigger than a mid-rank one.
Ye Chen had dozens of mid-rank storage rings, and they were all taken from his enemies. Of course, they were all dead. However, he had never seen a top-rank storage ring before. It seemed that a storage ring with such a huge space was extremely rare, and could not be bought even with soul stones.
Putting away the Phoenix Plume Tree, Ye Chen put the Dream-eating Wolf back into the beast tag, and let it recover slowly. Once it recovered, he would give it the Wind Fire Pellet.
"Now, I only need the Skull Flower."
Ye Chen let out a long breath.
"Yeah!"
Murong Qingcheng nodded, her face full of hope.
"The Barbarian race has a strong culture of martial arts. The best weapons for the Barbarian warriors are spears and bows. Normally, they would put poison on the tips of the spears and arrowheads, which could kill with one attack. Maybe we can find the Skull Flower in the Barbarian Mountains." The Skeleton Flower was different from other herbs. It was a type of extremely poisonous herb. The higher the age, the more poisonous it was. A ten thousand year old Skeleton Flower was second only to the world's most poisonous herb. However, a ten thousand year old Skeleton Flower was not easy to find. They only needed a five thousand year old Skeleton Flower.
Leaving the mountain, the two flew towards the nearest Barbarian tribe.
…
"This should be the poisonous mountain where this Barbarian tribe grows the poisonous plants."
On the edge of a mountain with colorful miasma, a man and a woman appeared quietly. They were indeed Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng, who were looking for the Skull Flower.
There were big and small Barbarian tribes. The big ones had millions of people, while the small ones only had tens of thousands of people. The tribe that the two had chosen was a tribe with two hundred thousand people. According to the map, it was called the Iron Flower Tribe.
Barbarian warriors liked to coat their weapons with poison, but that didn't mean they weren't afraid of it. Not to mention, it wasn't just a matter of one or two poisonous plants. It required thousands of poisonous plants. Obviously, it was very dangerous to cultivate poisonous plants in the tribe. Therefore, the barbarian tribes would usually choose a mountain nearby and cultivate poisonous plants there. Because of the poisonous plants gathering together, the poisonous gas would fill the air and create an extremely poisonous miasma, which would become a natural barrier. Ordinary demonic beasts wouldn't dare to come close.
Of course, there would be a lot of Barbarian warriors guarding around the mountain. Even if they were not afraid of the poison, it would not be easy to sneak in.
Not far away from the two, there was a group of Barbarian warriors patrolling.
"The highest cultivation is only at the Astral Reaching Realm, and the rest are all Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. In case of alerting them, we should be careful."
Of course, they could take it by force, but it would not last long. Plus, the Barbarians did not have any conflicts with them, so they did not want to have any conflicts with the Iron Flower Tribe.
"Let's go!"
The colorful miasma could not penetrate the protective Zhen yuan of Sea of Souls Realm warriors, so the two sneaked into the miasma and arrived at the poisonous mountain.
There was a building on top of the mountain, which was covered in a light layer. There were still Barbarian warriors patrolling inside. Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng could even sense a couple of Sea of Souls Realm Zhen yuan vibrations on top of a tower in the middle of the building.
"Not here!"
"Not here either!"
"Let's go check the other side!"
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng were very good at hiding, so they were not discovered by the Sea of Souls Realm warriors in the building. Occasionally, there would be soul power scanning over, but it would be sensed by Ye Chen beforehand. He would then use Murong Qingcheng's dark profound to hide from them.
After a couple of hours …
"Ye Chen, over here!"
Murong Qingcheng found the Skull Flowers in the middle of the mountain. It was a huge area, and with a rough look, there were at least thousands of them. Black poisonous qi was being emitted from the flowers, which gathered in the air and formed into a huge skull.
Ye Chen had also arrived.
"Let's search and see if there are any five thousand years old ones."
After the time it took to brew a pot of tea …
The two were full of disappointment. Among the thousands of Skull Flowers, there were only thirty thousand years old ones. There was not even one two thousand years old, not to mention five thousand years old ones.
After plucking more than twenty Skeleton Flowers that were more than a thousand years old, the two of them left the poison mountain quietly and arrived outside the multicolored miasma.
Far away from the Iron Flower Tribe …
Ye Chen studied the Skull Flowers in his hand and said, "The Iron Flower Tribe is a small tribe. Right now, we will have to go check out some of the mid-sized tribes."
Since there were Skull Flowers in the Iron Flower Tribe, then the other tribes must have some as well. The only question would be if there were any Skull Flowers above five thousand years old.
On the third day, the two arrived at the Bronze Tiger Tribe.
The population of the Bronze Tiger Tribe was three times that of the Iron Flower Tribe, which was seven to eight hundred thousand people. The poison mountain near the tribe was also bigger than the Iron Flower Tribe's.
There were thousands of Barbarian warriors guarding around the poison mountain, each of them holding long spears and carrying huge bows on their backs, looking extremely evil.
Inside the poison mountain, two shadows were moving around sneakily.
"There are no five thousand years old Skull Flowers. The oldest one is only two thousand and eight hundred years old. Do I really have to go to those big tribes?"
Ye Chen was very scared of the big tribes. In this true spirit continent, the number of Barbarians was way smaller than the human population, which was only one out of ten thousand of the human population. In other words, all of the Barbarians added together would only be a few hundred million or a billion. However, although there were not many of them, the chance of them having powerful warriors was thousands of times higher than the human population. So, there might be a chance of Life and Death Realm warriors in the big tribes.
"There are hundreds of big tribes, so it would be impossible for every tribe to have a Barbarian King. I heard that there would not be a lot of Barbarian Kings added together, which would be way less than the human population. The chance of running into a Barbarian King should not be that high, maybe one percent."
The Skull Flower was something that they had to get, so Ye Chen would not give up on it.
"Let's go! Let's go to the big tribes. "
Ye Chen turned around and said to Murong Qingcheng.
