Chapter 291

: Tiny Silver Fish
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
After clearing out all the Lava Pythons’ skins and tails, the spatial ring had become rather spacious.
Over half of his stock of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat was gone now after such a long period. So before he found another source of energy to replace the meat, he could not afford to use it to train in the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique anymore.
Fortunately, Bei Feng still had about half of the Lava Python galls left, enough to sustain his progress for a while longer.
When he was chased by the black Demonic Beast previously, he’d burnt through almost half of his Lava Python gall stock in that few short minutes!
Bei Feng actually felt quite some heartache over losing all those snake galls like that. He had a limited amount, and every gall used was one less. Before he had the strength to defeat that powerful Lava Python boss, he would not dare to go back to that underground lava lake again!
Who knew if that overpowered Lava Python boss would not suddenly burst out of the lava and smash him to death? Bei Feng did not dare to take that risk.
Fortunately, his precious stock of Lava Python galls had not been spent for nothing. At the very least, it allowed the Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle Wing to improve by a grade. Otherwise, he would have suffered a great loss this time!
After keeping the Sand Worm’s horn away, Bei Feng continued on his way.
This Sand Worm looked extremely unappetizing, and he disdained to collect its flesh.
At every moment in the forest, there would be some Xiantian Lords falling for the ambush of the Demonic Beasts. Some were successful, while some ended up being reverse-killed!
In a short period of time, about fifty Xiantian Lords had been killed by all kinds of strange Demonic Beasts!
But when all the Xiantian Lords began to group up, the casualty rate quickly dropped. In contrast, it was the Demonic Beasts who were in trouble!
Demonic Beasts had become extremely rare above the ground, but the number of Demonic Beasts in this underground cavern was not little! To these Xiantian Lords, this place was simply a treasure trove of precious resources!
Everyone was busy hunting and fleecing any valuable materials from the Demonic Beasts in the forest. As for the matter of returning to the surface, no one had considered it at all.
There would naturally be people sent to investigate the crypt if they did not emerge for a long time.
This place was also stock-full of resources, so they did not have to worry about starving. All they had to was to wait for people from the outside world to rescue them.
What everyone needed to focus on doing right now was to gather as much resources as they could. As long as a Demonic Beast dared to appear before them, it would be chased after and killed swiftly!

Weng, weng!

As the large group proceeded through the jungle, a cacophony of strange buzzing noises like that of mosquitoes flying about could suddenly be heard. Everyone’s faces turned ugly instantly as they looked to the distance. The noise was growing louder and louder and by the scale of it, the thing that was approaching was definitely not small!

Quick, disperse!

The crowd finally saw the source of the noise. It was actually an entire blanket of mosquitoes, each one as big as a fist!
These mosquitoes were violet gold in color, and their sharp needles glimmered menacingly in the light. Their speed was extremely fast, appearing in front of the crowd in a short moment.
Everyone’s faces had turned as grim as if their mothers had just died. Without further hesitation, every person took off in different directions!
A single mosquito was not anything difficult to deal with. Even a Dark Jing expert could squish it to death with ease. However, this was an entire scourge of mosquitoes! They covered the sky with their numbers, and were so numerous that they were uncountable!
Under the assault of such a vast number of mosquitoes, even a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert would be finished if he did not run!

FCK!

At a crucial moment like these, who would have the attention to care about the captives they brought in? The Japanese martial practitioners had already been maimed of their cultivation, causing their movement speed and combat abilities to drop drastically. How could they outrun this horde of mosquito Demonic Beasts?
An utterly horrifying scene played out before everyone’s eyes. Thousands of those huge mosquitoes detached from the main horde and descended upon the Japanese martial artists who were currently running the slowest. Although the crippled martial practitioners fought back with all their might and managed to kill quite a few of the mosquitoes, their efforts were like pouring a cup of water onto a burning cart!
The sharp needles on the mosquitoes’ mouths easily pierced through their bodies.
In an instant, all their blood was sucked clean from their bodies! Only their dried corpses remained on the ground, appearing extremely harrowing.
Seeing this, the group of Xiantian Lords became even more terrified and fled even faster, not bothering about where or what they were running into!
Although these mosquitoes were fast, they were still much slower as compared to Xiantian Lords fleeing with all their might. In no time, they were left far behind.
The four superpower clans stuck together and rushed into a cave. Then, they sealed the cave shut, narrowly managing to avoid the danger.
In another area, Bei Feng had also run into some trouble. Huge ferocious-looking bees, each one as big as a palm, were currently buzzing angrily, looking at him. These bees looked as if they were casted from gold, and black stripes covered their bodies.
Atop a large tree with trunk wide enough for a dozen people to wrap their arms around, there was an enormous bee hive about the size of a horse cart!
Bei Feng directly used the golden flying dagger and forcefully killed a path out. Then, he directly cut the bee hive down.

Ding! Grade 4 treasure found, Golden Honey! (This is top grade honey gathered by the Golden Bees from all kinds of spirit flowers. It has the effect of stimulating the circulation of the blood and causes the muscles and joints to relax when consumed. Also refreshes the mind and improves focus. The effects of this honey is especially beneficial for young children.) Experience gained: 0!

Bei Feng was currently surrounded by an army of Golden Bees. They wanted to attack, but were obviously afraid to get too close to him. Seeing this, Bei Feng took out the Golden Queen Bee from the hive and placed her on the ground. Then, he directly kept the hive into his spatial ring and left.
Bei Feng was like a bulldozer as he trekked through the forest. Anything that blocked him was directly destroyed!
Qin Wufa was the same. He did not move together with the crowd, and was acting on his own as well. His Fake Dan cultivation allowed him to move about without fear of anything. Even if he bumped into the scourge of mosquitoes that the main group had encountered, he would still be able to escape easily even if he could not defeat it.


Why can’t I find it?

Bei Feng wondered aloud as he surveyed the land before him. He’d already searched over half of this huge underground canyon over the past few days, but he still could not find the actual tomb of the Martial King.
‘The only place I haven’t looked yet is the other side of the river. However, it shouldn’t be there as well. In that case, the only place remaining is there!’
Bei Feng’s eyes lit up with realization as he looked at the huge waterfall far away.
Without further delay, he began moving in the direction of the waterfall. He had a sure feeling that the Martial King’s grave should be right behind the waterfall!
Among the group of people who entered this place, there were quite a lot of clever ones. Since Bei Feng could come to this conclusion, others were naturally able to think of it as well.
At this time, quite a number of people had already gathered at the foot of the waterfall. However, no one dared to begin scaling the cliff.
Time passed, and finally, a Xiantian Lord stepped out and his inner Qi surged powerfully as he leaped upwards. In an instant, he soared high into the sky, reaching about forty, fifty meters! With a stretch of his hand, he easily grabbed onto the small cracks on the cliff.
As long as he repeated this action a few more times, he would reach the top of the waterfall.
However, this Xiantian Lord who could not be considered as weak even among the other Xiantian Lords suddenly let out a wretched scream as he plummeted all the way back down the waterfall into the river!
A small pool of red spread out from the spot where he landed, and the Xiantian Lord never surfaced again.
Bei Feng narrowed his eyes and frowned heavily. The river was actually filled with countless tiny silver fishes about the size of sewing needles!
When they were not moving, they flowed along with the water, completely calm and invisible. But the moment they smelt blood, they would arrive in front of their prey with shocking speed and savagery!
These tiny silver fishes moved like needles piercing through cloth, turning their prey into a sieve in an instant!
As they passed through their prey, these tiny silver fishes would tear a path through with their mouths!
Those cracks on the side of the cliff were actually the nest of these tiny silver fishes!
If one wished to scale this waterfall, they could not depend on any any external support. As long as they touched the cliff even once, they would be pierced through by countless of these tiny silver fishes in an instant!
