Mystic One mimicked the others and placed the mask on a statue before leading the rest in.
After the Cerberus stepped in, the heavy door also slammed shut. The oil lamps on the sides of the dark passage behind the door immediately lit up as soon as the door closed, causing the Mystics to gasp with shock. It was unclear how the mechanism worked.
The passage was extremely long, but it did not feel stifling at all. The only sound in the long passage was the echo of the group’s footsteps.
Bei Feng watched them enter through the door and finally left.
The Ghost City will be opened for fifteen days, and there was no need to worry about food inside.
Although it was termed an Ancient City, the ‘ancient’ part was only a small detail of the city. There was an extremely stable ecological system inside.
Bei Feng only needed to come back and pick them up when the time came. Right now, the Mystics could only depend on themselves to search for their own fortune.
Shennongjia was a land of fortuitous encounters since the ancient times. According to legends, the Yan Emperor, Shen Nong once chopped wood to build a hut here. But before he could finish his construction, he ascended to the heavens and became a deity. Thus, the empty frame of the hut was left behind. Later, the people named this area as Shennongjia or Shen Nong’s Frame to remember the Divine Farmer.
‘This Shennongjia was once called the Mountain of Bears. According to Mount Longhu’s records, the last giant bear was also killed in this place. When I executed the Bear Form Style previously, the skill also resonated with this place, raising its level of power. This place should have a deep connection with the giant bears!’ Bei Feng reasoned in his head. Thereafter, he found a quiet spot and began to practice the Bear Form Style.
As expected, the moment the Bear Manifestation appeared and Bei Feng calmed his heart, he could feel the almost imperceptible hints of joyful resonance with the land.
As he executed the Ursa Smash skill, a stream of Qi flowed over, causing a tremor to run through Bei Feng’s heart.
When he was fighting earlier, Bei Feng had already felt that something was different about his Bear Form Style. However, he could not afford to be distracted. Now, when he calmed his heart, he could feel that the energy which came from an unknown location was beneficial to him.
Or, more accurately, it was the Bear Manifestation which gave him this feeling. Not hesitating any further, he walked in the direction where the energy came from.
Bei Feng gazed at the scenery which was as beautiful as a painting as he walked. The mountain was surrounded by a sea of trees, which swayed rhythmically with the wind. Numerous tall peaks could be seen sticking out over the terrain.
Although it was winter, there was no snow. Every tree was also growing lusciously.
Rare animals which normally hid from the world could be seen from time to time, dashing about in a carefree manner. This land which was as beautiful and surreal as a painting gave one an absolute feeling of freedom!
But unbeknownst to visitors, under this cover of beauty, Shennongjia was filled with countless hidden dangers! It was so dangerous that nine out of ten people who ventured into the deepest parts of the land unprepared would end up dead!
Of course, with Bei Feng’s strength, he could traverse through the entire area with no fear at all. Right now, he was strolling through the forest in a leisurely manner. Every step brought him tens of meters forward. A multicolored spider descended from a nearby branch, but before it could land on Bei Feng’s head, it was already crushed into powder.
After some time, Bei Feng stopped and sat down under a tree. The sky was getting dark, and it was time for dinner.
He collected some wood, made a fire, and took out a slab of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat. After that, he cut it into small cubes the size of his thumb and skewered them before roasting the meat over the fire.
The Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat was very resistant to fire, so there was no need to worry about burning it.
Bei Feng even had some condiments in his spatial ring which he took out and sprinkled on the meat.
In no time, an overpowering fragrance had spread through the area. Bei Feng stopped roasting the meat after a few minutes and started to eat.

Mmh, not bad, there’s a unique taste from barbecuing as well. It just lacks a bit of chili.
Bei Feng chewed a few times and said with a smile.
The taste from barbecuing the meat was rather unique. Without any pause in his actions, he took out a some chili powder and sprinkled them over the next batch of meat.
Then, he added a layer of oil to prevent the chili from being burnt.

Ji, ji!

A distance away, a group of monkeys with shiny fur suddenly stood up on their legs and jumped about with excitement as they sniffed at the air.
At this moment, a monkey which was much larger than the others stepped out and led the other monkeys as it dashed in a certain direction.
Its speed was extremely quick. With a few swings on the branches, it disappeared into the trees. The other monkeys also followed behind it hurriedly.
In the south, a large black bear had awoken from its slumber. With a dazed look on its face, it lumbered in the direction of the fragrance clumsily, as though it was still half asleep.
There were many common misconceptions about a bear’s hibernation cycle. Most people imagined that bears spent their entire winter deep in sleep. But this was not actually the case. When the weather was good, bears would often wake up from their sleep and head out to forage for food.
Towards the north, a three-meter-long tiger was crouching in the grass and watching a huge wild boar which was the size of one and a half normal wild boars. Its next meal would depend on this hunt.
Seizing its chance, the tiger moved. But just as it was about to pounce, it suddenly pulled back, causing it to fall disgracefully to the ground.
The boar and the tiger exchanged a look, and its eyes widened with disbelief. Then, after being stunned for a brief moment, the boar took off like a rocket!
Seeing that its prey had escaped, the tiger did not move to chase it. Instead, it lifted its nose into the air and sniffed. What a good smell! Who the hell would still have any mood to catch a wild boar after smelling this soul-trapping scent!?
Within seven, eight minutes, a group of animals had charged over and surrounded Bei Feng. Large droplets of drool hung off the sides of their mouths, while their gazes were trained on the extremely fragrant-smelling meat before Bei Feng.
Seeing this, Bei Feng did not grow anxious at all. Instead, he took out a large earthen jar filled with wine and placed it on the ground.
The other animals quickly jumped backwards when they saw such a huge earthen jar appear out of nowhere. None of them could figure out where the human had hidden such a thing previously.
Although all of them desired the food before Bei Feng, none of them dared to move rashly. An animal’s instincts were usually much sharper than a human’s.
These animals could feel that underneath that small frame of this human was a powerful might which was extremely threatening to them. If not for the tempting smell of the food, they would not have chosen to come here!
Bei Feng held a skewer with the new batch of cooked meat, but did not eat it immediately. Instead, he brought the meat and went towards the black bear slowly.
The black bear was extremely huge, and seemed to weigh at least 300 kg! Normal people would escape as far as possible when they saw it! Bei Feng, on the other hand, was completely fearless.
Seeing the human walking towards it casually, the black bear hurriedly backed off a few steps. However, its eyes never left the food in Bei Feng’s hand.
Bei Feng laughed aloud as he looked at the black bear.
Who said that black bears do not have good vision? Isn’t it fine?

Each piece of meat was about as long as a thumb and ten centimeter big. Bei Feng grabbed a piece of the meat and waved it before the black bear, as if he was playing with a cat.
After a while, he threw the meat out. The black bear inclined its head and firmly bit the meat. With a few bites, the meat was swallowed. Once the meat was safely in its stomach, the bear turned to look at Bei Feng with shock.
Bei Feng placed the rest of the meat on his palm and placed it before the black bear.
The black bear looked at Bei Feng with some confusion before sticking a tongue out and bringing everything into its mouth.
With a fluid motion, Bei Feng reached out with his other hand and stroked the black bear’s head. In an instant, the black bear’s body tensed up, as if it was about to start fighting.
But apparently, the hand on its head seemed to have no other intentions other than to smooth its fur. Thereafter, it relaxed and continued eating.
Bei Feng returned to the fire and brought one more stick of barbecued meat to the tiger.

Wu!

The tiger was not some random domestic cat. Seeing Bei Feng approach it, it began to growl lowly, as if trying to warn the human.
Bei Feng stopped and smiled lightly as he waved the stick of of meat in his hands in a deliberate manner.
In an instant, the tiger forgot about everything else as its eyes followed the kebab in Bei Feng’s hand. Then, its head also began bobbing left to right as it drooled. Right now, it resembled an extremely cute kitty cat!
