Chapter 152: Magic Continent Finding a Place to Live
Xiao Yi Fei and his companions arrived a bit late, and most of the people here had been wiped out.
Looking at the person lying on the ground, reduced to a mere skeleton after being tortured, Xiao Yi Fei couldn’t help but gasp.
Xi Rui threw the Magic Rings and the Magic Clothes of these people over to them. “Take these with you, they’ll be useful. I’ll confess to my Master about the killings myself. As for a place to stay, if Your Highnesses don’t mind, the area below this cave can withstand the Cold Attack.”
Xiao Yi Fei was about to nod in agreement, but Lu Min Feng said, “This place won’t do. They’re dead, and this matter can’t be hidden. Make the scene more bloody, and let’s leave quickly. If the second group monitoring us doesn’t receive their message, they’ll rush over immediately. Brother Yi, change into the robes Sang Chu gave us, alter our appearances, and let’s go.”
Xi Rui frowned slightly. “This place below is my Elf Race’s refuge. Others won’t be able to find it!”
Lu Min Feng replied, “Precisely because it’s your place, we must leave even more urgently. Also, Old Ge’s Corpse cannot be left behind. Brother Yi, burn it.”
Xiao Yi Fei nodded and quickly ignited his Supernatural Ability, completely incinerating him. After the remains disappeared, several crystal-clear round beads were left on the spot.
Xiao Yi Fei controlled the Flame to continue burning, but it only became brighter. Xi Rui quickly called out to stop him, “This, this is Crystal Bone! You can’t burn it, stop!”
Xiao Yi Fei didn’t stop, only looking at Lu Min Feng. Seeing him nod, he finally ceased the Flame. Xi Rui trotted over, wanting to pick them up, but felt a bit disgusted.
Lu Min Feng directly took them into his hand. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he quickly said, “Go!”
With that, he took out the Card Sang Chu had given him and recited an incantation to Xi Rui. The Formation Pattern on the Card flashed, and Xi Rui was instantly absorbed into the Magic Card.
Xiao Yi Fei and Lu Min Feng put on the Magic Robes embroidered with Hyacinth patterns and left at high speed.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a small team was slowly approaching the Elf cave.
“Captain, why hasn’t Old Lu messaged back? Could something have happened to him?”
“Old Lu said the Mountain Spirit captured those two from Rose City, and they went to pursue them. They might not be able to reply while on the road. We need to rendezvous with them quickly. If something happens to those two, it won’t be a trivial matter.”
“Didn’t Dean Wu say it’s fine as long as that woman named Sang Chu is alright?”
“These few people are her relatives. If her relatives are in trouble, wouldn’t she want to leave the Small Town? Think about it, we need to speed up!”
When they arrived, all they saw were people reduced to skeletons, eaten by Monsters.
And for those whose appearances were altered by the Magic Ring, even if Magic Potions were used to restore them to their pre-death appearance, they could only revert to their altered forms. Therefore, Lu Min Feng and his group had no worries about being discovered.
This was because they had removed the Magic Rings only after these two had died. Now, their appearances were ‘Lu Min Feng’ and ‘Xiao Yi Fei.’
Xiao Yi Fei leaned against a large tree, catching his breath. Lu Min Feng expanded his Supernatural Ability’s perception range, and only after confirming they had left that group did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He took out a map and looked at it.
“We are approximately here. We’re quite far from the Elf Nest now. This Mole Rat Nest seems to have a slightly lower risk factor. Let’s go there.”
Xiao Yi Fei still didn’t quite understand why they had to go the long way around. “Min Feng, why can’t we stay at that Elf Nest? Isn’t it said that the darkest place is under the lamp?”
“The premise of ‘darkest under the lamp’ is that they don’t need that place. Think about it, why would this Elf drag Old Ge to that place for execution?”
“Why?”
Lu Min Feng explained, “Old Ge might have captured her in that very place. And she didn’t kill Old Ge immediately, so this place must have had special significance for her and for Old Ge. Do you see the large and small grave mounds on the ground?”
Xiao Yi Fei suddenly realized. “You mean, her family also died at Old Ge’s hands, which is why she took Old Ge there for execution!”
“Exactly. Since Old Ge captured an Elf there, that Nest must be known to people, at least to the higher-ups. Therefore, I say it’s not safe there. And they also need a shelter from the Cold Attack at night, making the Elf Nest their primary choice.”
Xiao Yi Fei asked, “But didn’t they say they were going back at night?”
Lu Min Feng replied, “With us, they would definitely go back at night, as we are hostages. It’s not safe in the wilderness at night. But what if we weren’t with them?”
“Alright, so we’re going to find that Mole Rat Nest now?”
“Yes, it’s not far from here. Let’s go.”
After resting for a while, the two headed towards the Mole Rat Nest.
Suddenly, Lu Min Feng stopped. Xiao Yi Fei quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just feel a bit foolish.”
He released the Flying Eagle he had a Contract with and sat on it first. Xiao Yi Fei’s eyes sparkled as he also ran up. “This is great! It can carry several people, right?”
After Lu Min Feng directed the Flying Eagle towards the Mole Rat Nest, he relaxed. “Yes, I didn’t intend to buy anything initially, as A Chu’s earnings aren’t easy. Besides, I didn’t particularly like any of the Magic Beasts. But when I saw this Flying Eagle, I thought it could be used as an aircraft. It’s quite good for when Hovercars can’t be used.”
Xiao Yi Fei gave him two thumbs up. “Min Feng, you’re truly amazing! This Flying Eagle can carry at least ten people, more than enough for the five of us!”
Lu Min Feng smiled. “I bought it precisely because of that. This is the Spirit Stone Jade and Crystal Cores that A Chu gave me. Let’s cultivate diligently. We might have a tough battle ahead soon!”
“What about that Elf? Aren’t we going to release her to help us fight?”
“The Card is in my hand, she won’t disobey my orders. It’s just that she’s a bit uncontrollable. Later, I’ll take you in invisibility into the Nest to scout. If we can’t defeat them, then we’ll release her. If we can handle it, we’ll leave her be for now.”
“Alright. Anyway, I find this Elf a bit creepy and scary. Maybe she’s a bit psychologically twisted from being tortured. We two are also the men she hates the most, so it’s better to be careful.”
Hearing Xiao Yi Fei’s words, Lu Min Feng chuckled. “Oh, it’s rare to hear the word ‘careful’ from you, Brother Yi.”
“Sigh, it’s all because of Sang Chu. If it were just me, I wouldn’t mind causing trouble or fighting. But this matter concerns Little Sister Sang Xiao Chu! So I have to be careful. She kindly brought us to this Otherworld to cultivate and bought me so many good things. I can’t let my impulsiveness harm her.”
“Indeed, Sang Chu’s move is quite risky.”
Lu Min Feng couldn’t help but sigh. But soon, his expression turned serious, and he instantly grabbed Xiao Yi Fei. The two of them vanished from the Flying Eagle without a trace.
