Xiao Yuanfeng's worries were unfounded. As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light erupted from the entrance of the tunnel and a few silhouettes appeared in front of him.
Xiao Yuanfeng, you old bastard! How dare you run away by yourself!
As soon as Jiang Cheng and the others appeared, Liu Qianji cursed at Xiao Yuanfeng who had been waiting on the second floor. The others also looked at Xiao Yuanfeng with unfriendly expressions.
Jiang Cheng's gaze was cold. After refining and consuming the Ghost King Pill, most of their cultivation had increased by quite a bit. Although he himself had yet to break through to the Nine Star Martial Ancestor realm, the aura on his body was restrained and an even stronger aura rose from his body. This aura was obviously different from what Xiao Yuanfeng had seen before he left.
Therefore, when Xiao Yuanfeng and the others saw Jiang Cheng and the others, their hearts skipped a beat. If only one or two people's cultivations had increased, it would be a coincidence. However, it was very strange that everyone's cultivation had increased at the same time.
Haha, Xiao Yuanfeng, you don't have to be suspicious anymore. To tell you the truth, after eating the Ghost King Pellets refined by Jiang Cheng, our cultivations have increased!
Meng Wudao did not hide his pride in front of his old rival. After eating the Ghost King Pellets, the bottleneck of his cultivation had loosened. He estimated that it would not take long for him to break through. This had never happened since he was reincarnated into the Spirit Realm.
When Xiao Yuanfeng saw what had happened, his intestines turned green with regret. Back then, when he saw that the Ghost Faced Centipede was a two star Martial King, he did not want to take the risk to deal with it. Thus, he decided to play some petty tricks and sneak down to the second floor. However, who would've thought that Jiang Cheng and the others would actually be able to kill the Ghost Faced Centipede without any mishaps. Furthermore, they even refined the Ghost King Pellet.
Hmph! Xiao Yuanfeng snorted coldly, but in his heart, he was regretting it.
Jiang Cheng could not afford to attack Xiao Yuanfeng now. After all, how could a Martial King cultivator not have a trump card? He would have to pay a price to deal with Xiao Yuanfeng. Moreover, the Secret Realm was full of danger and Xiao Yuanfeng was still useful.
However, Jiang Cheng's gaze fell on Wang Xiaoyu, who was standing not too far away. Wang Xiaoyu was holding his grandfather's corpse, and a look of pain could be seen on his face. He glared venomously at Jiang Cheng. He was already certain that Jiang Cheng hated his grandfather, and thus did nothing to save him.
Miss Wang, you... Jiang Cheng was about to say something, but Wang Xiaoyu directly gave him a vicious look, and then ran towards the back of the second layer of the cave without looking back.
Jiang Cheng sighed. He was indebted to Wang Xiaoyu, and he didn't want to make a move on such a weak girl unless he had no other choice. But now, she had run away on her own, and he didn't know if it was a good or bad thing.
Let's go first. According to the intelligence, the second floor should have the materials to refine the Breaking Adversity Pill!
Jiang Cheng and the others had already researched this Secret Realm, and knew the dangers of every floor. There should be a Teleportation Formation in the last floor, and that was their final goal.
Only then did Jiang Cheng take a closer look at the second floor. It was an extremely large space that stretched as far as the eye could see. It could also be said to be a karst cave. Stalactites formed from water droplets could be seen everywhere, and stone pillars of various colors could be seen from time to time.
Everyone, be careful. This place is too quiet, and it's a little strange! Meng Wudao looked around vigilantly.
Everyone also felt the pressure, but they were all skilled and daring, so they didn't take it to heart and continued to move forward.
Xiao Yuanfeng and the other two walked at the front, and their faces revealed a look of disdain.
Jiang Cheng looked at the stone pillars that emitted light from time to time, and wondered where Wang Xiaoyu had gone.
Suddenly, a scream came from the front. It came from Yan Wei, who was walking at the front.
Everyone heard this scream, and looked at him. At this moment, Yan Wei was lying on the ground, and his face was contorted in pain, and he was constantly struggling.
And beside him, Liu Hongyu was constantly using her Spiritual Qi to slash at a black tree root that looked like a human arm on the ground.
The loud sound of metal colliding spread in the space, and Yan Wei's feet were suddenly entangled by that strange tree branch.
Ghost Mother Vine!
Jiang Cheng and the others walked up from the back, and recognized this strange tree branch at a glance. This Ghost Mother Vine was said to come from the Yin Cold Hell Demon Tree, and no one knew where its body was. Its branches and roots were specialized in sucking people's blood and spiritual power.
Xiao Yuanfeng's face was gloomy. Just now, Yan Wei was walking at the front, and suddenly saw a fruit tree bearing a sweet fruit. He wanted to pick it, but he didn't expect it to be the Ghost Mother Tree's root.
Xiao Yuanfeng could see that the vines were harder than steel, and that Liu Hongyu's spirit energy blades were incapable of cutting through them. He waved his hand, and his cultivation base exploded out. Like a blade, his spirit energy slashed towards the black vines. A boom rang out, and the vines were cut apart. However, after being cut, green blood flowed out of the vines.
Then, the vine suddenly retracted into the ground, and everyone heard a ghostly wail. This sound caused gusts of cold wind to blow on their bodies, making them shiver.
Not good, you've angered this old demon!
Liu Qianji looked at Xiao Yuanfeng with some dissatisfaction, and vented all his anger on him.
What, before the tree demon comes, you want to fight with me?
Xiao Yuanfeng looked at Liu Qianji coldly. As a One Star Martial King, he didn't take Liu Qianji seriously at all. Although Liu Qianji was already a peak Nine Star Martial Ancestor, the gap of one level was like a ravine.
Liu Qianji didn't dare to say more. Instead, it was Jiang Cheng who squatted down to check Yan Wei's injuries.
There were many cuts on his body, and there were obviously sharp thorns on the vine. His feet were already black and swollen, a sign that he was poisoned.
Although Yan Wei got rid of the Ghost Mother Vine, his feet were also swollen, and he couldn't stand up at all. He kept screaming.
Eat this pill! Jiang Cheng looked at Yan Wei and handed him a Poison Cleansing Pill.
Yan Wei grabbed it and swallowed it without thinking. His face was originally pale, but the moment he swallowed it, his face turned red, and the poison and swelling on his feet slowly faded.
Thank you, Brother Jiang! Yan Wei lowered his head. Although he was in the same group as Xiao Yuanfeng, he was still grateful.
Brother Jiang is indeed a Level Four alchemist. With your Poison Cleansing Pill, we don't have to be afraid of this Ghost Mother Tree! Guan Haiyue's eyes flashed.
Jiang Cheng shook his head. They had encountered this kind of Ghost Mother Tree on the second floor. This thing's strength was estimated to be above a Three-Star Martial King. Even if they all joined forces, it would be difficult to deal with it. The main reason was that there were too many vines, and they didn't know where the main body was.
This was also the reason he saved Yan Wei. One more person meant one more force to deal with the Ghost Mother Tree.
They didn't know where the Ghost Mother Tree was, and everyone was in a panic. Jiang Cheng also attracted attention because the pill he refined had a miraculous effect on detoxification. One had to know that the Ghost Mother Tree's cultivation was unfathomable, and it had absorbed the cold Yin Qi in the second floor and cultivated for who knew how long.
Everyone be careful, let's continue! Jiang Cheng took out the pill and distributed it to everyone. Then, they decided to continue.
They didn't know how big the second floor's karst cave was, and now that they knew there was a potential opponent, their hearts were a little heavy.
Sometimes, a strong enemy wasn't scary. What was scary was an enemy that was hiding in the dark and could launch a fatal blow at any time.
Bai Xiao Tong, Liu Qingcang, and Meng Fei were the weakest. They followed closely behind Jiang Cheng.
It's best if everyone doesn't get separated. This way, if someone is in trouble, we can save them in time!
Bai Yufan said, and everyone agreed.
Xiao Yuanfeng proudly walked out from the crowd. Yan Wei, who had been saved by Jiang Cheng with a medicinal pill, was a little hesitant, but after gritting his teeth, he still followed beside Xiao Yuanfeng. He didn't dare to go against Xiao Yuanfeng.
Everyone walked along the way. It was unknown where the light came from in the karst cave. Although the light was dim, they could still see clearly. However, at this moment, there wasn't a trace of light.
The entire karst cave was pitch-black. In this pitch-black space, fortunately, everyone was a cultivator. Even in this pitch-black space, they could still see clearly.
At this moment, Bai Xiao Tong suddenly cried out in alarm. Her finger trembled as she pointed at the void in front of her and said, "Brother Jiang, there's something in front!"
Jiang Cheng was a little puzzled. He looked ahead and saw that the surroundings were pitch-black. There wasn't anything in front of them.
Xiao Tong, did you see wrongly?! Jiang Cheng was a little stunned. Even a group of Martial King and Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators like them couldn't see anything strange in front of them. How could Bai Xiao Tong see it?
Xiao Yuanfeng also heard what Bai Xiao Tong said. He sneered and said sarcastically, "This little girl isn't very capable, but she's good at bragging."
As he spoke, he pointed at the void in front of them. It was pitch-black. However, everyone could use their spiritual power to see in the dark. Therefore, when they looked over, he said coldly, "Ask everyone, is there anything there?"
Everyone didn't make things difficult for the little girl. They all smiled and shook their heads. However, Bai Xiao Tong couldn't take it anymore. She pouted and looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Brother Jiang Cheng, I didn't lie. Just now, Xiao Tong really saw a big tree baring its fangs and brandishing its claws."
Then, Bai Xiao Tong seriously described the terrifying appearance of the big tree. Everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, Bai Xiao Tong couldn't take it anymore. She pulled Jiang Cheng's hand and shook it, saying, "Brother Jiang, let's go and confirm it."
Jiang Cheng couldn't argue with her, so he could only nod and agree. He also had some doubts in his heart. Perhaps this Ghost Demon Tree really had a hidden method to confuse everyone. Its cultivation had already surpassed everyone's, and because Bai Xiao Tong had a special physique, she might be able to see the illusion of the Ghost Demon Tree.
Jiang Cheng thought about it. After confirming it with Bai Xiao Tong, he said, "Xiao Tong, can you sense it? Is that thing still nearby?
