At this time, almost three days had passed since Ye Fei had entered the dark fog. Jiang Zhen had almost gone crazy in these three days.
During the day, the dark fog and the Vicious Beasts in the fog would completely disappear. They had searched the entire Herb Mountain but could not find any trace of Ye Fei. At night, the dark fog would appear again and the roars of the Vicious Beasts would come from within. Jiang Zhen had once tried to enter and search for Ye Fei's whereabouts. However, Lin Chen and Lin Gui knew very well that it would be useless even if a Heaven Monarch could enter without using any martial arts or special abilities. Hence, they held Jiang Zhen back tightly. Every night, the three of them would wait outside the dark fog, hoping for a miracle.
That was because they could wait until Ye Fei returned.
After all, the number of people in Black Rock Peak was already awkward. If Ye Fei was missing, it would be even more awkward with just the three of them. While waiting, Lin Chen and Lin Gui did not forget about the important matter at hand. They had begun to win over the independent cultivators in the vicinity.
Because this was once the territory of the Medicine King Valley, there were many independent cultivators gathered around Black Rock Peak. Many of them were Earthly Venerables. If they were willing to put in some effort to nurture them, Black Rock Peak would be able to pull together a decent team of Heavenly Venerables within ten years.
Lin Gui was better at making friends. Jiang Zhen and Lin Chen decided to let Lin Gui go out and be responsible for recruiting the talents of the independent cultivators in the vicinity.
On the other hand, Jiang Zhen and Lin Chen continued to wait on the mountain every night to investigate the strangeness of Herb Mountain's dark fog. After waiting for a few more days, they still did not see any signs of Ye Fei coming out. Lin Chen finally lost all hope. "It's over. Looks like Brother Ye is really doomed." "Shut up. Ye Fei will be fine. He came from the same place as Senior Brother Dutian! No, I have to go in and find him! " In Jiang Zhen's eyes, Ye Fei was not only very similar to Dutian, but also came from the same place. He was like his nephew. How could he just stand by and watch Ye Fei die?
He did not know whether Ye Fei was dead or alive. As Jiang Zhen spoke, he was about to enter the dark fog again. Lin Chen's expression instantly changed, and he hurriedly urged, "Senior Jiang, please calm down! You are the only ruler of our Black Rock Peak, and the only hope of the Divine Star Academy. If even you die, what will happen to the Black Rock Peak? What will happen to the Divine Star Academy?
？”
"But, I can't just leave him to die …"
"How about this? Let's wait for another three days. If Ye Fei doesn't come out by then, I'll go with you!" Lin Chen clenched his teeth. He would definitely delay Jiang Zhen for the time being. He was secretly praying for a miracle.
Unfortunately, a miracle did not appear. Instead, at this moment, heavy footsteps could be heard coming from the dark fog. It was as if a mountain was walking out of the darkness.
"Not good. Could it be that the range of this dark fog is going to expand?" Lin Chen pulled a long face. The dark fog had already occupied the entire medicinal field. If it continued to expand, it would occupy the entire Medicinal Hall.
It was also because of this concern that the Valley of the Medicine Masters abandoned this mountain and moved elsewhere.
"What are you afraid of? If the Vicious Beasts inside dare to come out, I, Jiang Zhen, will slap them to death!" Jiang Zhen's body exploded with a strong aura of a ruler, trying to intimidate the beast in the dark.
However, the beast turned a blind eye to it, and continued to approach with heavy footsteps. Only the rumbling of footsteps could be heard, and the surrounding dark fog suddenly dispersed. Following that, a huge tortoise's head emerged from within. On the back of the black tortoise, there were four huge stone pillars.
Behind the stone pillars, there was a very small figure carrying a five to six meter tall stone door that weighed ten thousand jin. He walked out unhurriedly.
"Ye Fei!" When Jiang Zhen saw Ye Fei, he was both surprised and happy.
"My God, has Brother Ye gone mad from poverty? He went in for so many days, and instead of searching for treasures, he came back with a stone door … Eh, that's not right. That stone door seems to be some kind of divine material?"
After all, Lin Chen came from a large family, so his eyesight was still very strong.
Ye Fei also threw the stone door to the ground, panting. He revealed a relieved smile and said, "Good eyesight. These are indeed divine materials, and they happen to be useful to me, so I brought them back."
Jiang Zhen's eyes lit up as he stared at the stone door and said, "This is Sky Black Stone. Its hardness is astonishing, comparable to black iron. The door to my Divine Star Academy's treasury is made of this stone! Ye Fei, could it be that you found some kind of treasury inside? "
Lin Chen's eyes also lit up as he stared at Ye Fei. Ye Fei's face was simple and honest as he nodded and said, "That's right, I did find the hidden treasury of the Medicine Masters Valley. However, most of the treasures in the treasury were taken away by the Medicine Masters Valley, and the rest were ruined by the Vicious Beasts. I saw that this door and pillar were still passable, so I reluctantly carried them back.
Yes. "
He did not intend to tell anyone about the robbery of the Medicine Masters Valley's treasury. It was not that he did not trust Jiang Zhen and Lin Chen, but this matter was not easy to explain.
Jiang Zhen and Lin Chen did not ask any further. Compared to the treasures, they were more concerned about the dark fog. This was the most important matter that concerned whether they could settle down here.
"Ye Fei, why did you go in for so long? Have you found out what happened in the dark fog? "Jiang Zhen hurriedly asked.
Ye Fei shook his head, his face ugly, "I have no way to find out. This dark fog gave me a feeling that it was endless. Its range far exceeded the range of the entire Black Rock Peak!"
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you. This dark fog will suddenly disappear during the day. Even the mountain's land that was swallowed by the darkness will disappear along with it." Lin Chen interrupted and told him about the strange things they had discovered during the day.
Ye Fei was even more surprised. If the darkness disappeared during the day, then where did he go for so many days?
All kinds of mysteries lingered in the minds of the three, but no one could give a reasonable explanation. In the end, it was Jiang Zhen who suggested that they temporarily put this question aside and wait for Lin Gui to return.
This time, Lin Gui went down the mountain not only to rope in the wandering practitioners, but also to investigate the strange situation of Herb Mountain. Calculating the time, it was about time for Lin Gui to return to the mountain.
But after waiting for a long time, Lin Gui still did not return.
It was only the next day that Lin Gui limped back to Black Rock Peak. His face was green and red, and it was obvious that he had been beaten up.
Ye Fei and Jiang Zhen were shocked. Lin Chen stood up in anger and asked, "Lin Gui, who beat you up? Do you think there is no one in the Lin family?"
