Chapter 157: Chapter 155: Poisoned? Fu Shen looked at Ye Feng coldly, his tone laced with mockery as he said, "Pretty boys are just that, pretty boys, so it’s only natural you’d fail to dodge." Little Ai looked at Ye Feng anxiously, "Big brother Ye Feng, you’re not hurt, are you?" Originally, Ye Feng did not intend to pay them any attention. He had already sensed the venomous snake’s attack coming and simply planned to wait until it was within range to crush it to death. Moreover, with Ye Feng’s incredibly powerful body, even if the venomous snake had managed to bite him, it would have probably shattered its fangs with no harm done to Ye Feng at all. Ye Feng shook his head, "It’s nothing, that venomous snake couldn’t hurt me..." After hearing Ye Feng’s words, everyone looked at him as if he were a fool, thinking to themselves that if it hadn’t been for the intervention of a skilled individual, Ye Feng would probably be dead by poison by now. "Let’s continue moving forward!" Ruan Xiaoyu said, and the group set off once more. Yet Ye Feng continued to observe the murals on the stone walls, slowing his pace. Ruan Xiaoyu became angry, "Mr. Ye Feng! Please take this seriously and don’t fall behind. There are many of us here, and we can’t be guarding your safety at every moment!" Ye Feng shook his head, "It’s okay, you can go ahead just the same..." "You!" Ruan Xiaoyu was so frustrated she didn’t know what else to say and ended up keeping silent. "Forget it, let’s all just slow down a bit. Mr. Ye Feng is probably out of stamina, that must be why he’s moving so slowly," Fu Shen said with a sneering tone as he gazed at Ye Feng. Ye Feng couldn’t be bothered to explain anything. After all, as the War God of Dragon Country, the lord of Sky Wolf, what did he need to explain his actions for? Seeing that Ye Feng offered no explanation, Ruan Xiaoyu shook her head and sighed helplessly, "What has become of the men of Dragon Country nowadays, to become exhausted by such a short journey, it’s truly disappointing..." Ruan Xiaoyu’s gaze at Ye Feng was filled with immense disappointment. Initially, she thought that if Ye Feng wasn’t a grandmaster, he would at least be diamond-tier, but now it seemed he was merely bronze... The group slowed down and continued on their way, and soon, half an hour had passed. Ye Feng and his cohort had reached the entrance to the inner part of the Chiyou Divine Cave. At the entrance, there was an altar. On the altar, two glimmers of light twinkled, catching everyone’s attention and causing them to pause in surprise. There, on the altar, were two Spirit Stones, about the size of walnuts, emitting the gleaming light. The Spirit Stones radiated an enormous and pure spiritual energy. "Spirit Stones!" Ruan Xiaoyu exclaimed excitedly, and the eyes of the Grandmaster Martial Artist beside her also sparkled with excitement. Little Ai said, "Every year, the Chiyou Divine Cave places two Spirit Stones on the altar as an offering to the great Chiyou god, and so the Bai Miao and Black Miao each take one stone annually. This is as far as we are allowed to venture inside. Should we try to delve deeper, we would encounter... that thing." Ye Feng nodded, understanding. He had already guessed what lay deeper inside based on the murals he had witnessed along the way. Little Ai and Fu Shen each approached an altar and took a Spirit Stone. "Mr. Fu Shen, may I have a look at your Spirit Stone?" asked the Grandmaster Martial Artist looking at Fu Shen. Fu Shen nodded, then handed the Spirit Stone to the Grandmaster Martial Artist, who observed it carefully with a look of excitement in his eyes. Ruan Xiaoyu asked, "Grandmaster Hu, what do you think?" Grandmaster Hu’s hands trembled, his eyes revealing excitement, "It can’t be wrong, it can’t be wrong! Such a dense Spiritual Energy, so pure, there must be Spiritual Liquid inside!" Even Ye Feng was somewhat surprised. He estimated that the Spirit Stones inside might far exceed his expectations. "How about it? Are you sure you want to go in? If you do, the danger is immense!" Fu Kun looked at Ruan Xiaoyu and asked. Ruan Xiaoyu nodded, "My father is in critical condition, only the Spiritual Liquid can help him, I must go!" "Alright! Then let’s go!" Fu Kun prepared to lead Ruan Xiaoyu and the others deeper inside. In no time, they arrived at the entrance to a passage. Everyone could clearly see the endless corridor filled with a green miasma visible to the naked eye. "This is bad, we came in a rush and didn’t prepare any poison masks, now we’re in trouble!" Ruan Xiaoyu said anxiously. But Grandmaster Hu remained calm, "Princess, there’s no need to worry. I can open a True Essence barrier for you to keep the deadly miasma at bay. As for us, we are all Inner Strength Martial Artists, and by using our Inner Strength, we can also keep out the deadly miasma for a short period. Rest assured!" "That’s great, I’m counting on you, Grandmaster Hu!" Ruan Xiaoyu said excitedly, looking at Grandmaster Hu. Grandmaster Hu nodded, "Everyone, don’t overestimate your abilities. If you’re not strong enough, wait outside. As I just said, I can help you, but I don’t know how long this corridor is. Once we enter, I will focus on protecting the Princess and cannot be distracted to take care of anyone. So be sensible, do not act rashly, measure your strength wisely. Otherwise, you might just lose your lives for nothing!" While speaking, Grandmaster Hu also glanced at Ye Feng, clearly reminding him. But Ye Feng didn’t care at all. Fu Shen said, "Little Ai and I have been soaking in the Miao Clan’s special medicinal waters since we were kids, so we’re immune to the miasma here. But for some people, I’m afraid they might lose their lives." "Alright, let’s set off!" said Grandmaster Hu, as he released his True Essence outward, enveloping Ruan Xiaoyu and himself. Grandmaster Hu, being an early stage Innate Grandmaster, could externalize his True Essence. It wasn’t powerful enough to resist weapons like bullets, but isolating the miasma was an easy task. Grandmaster Hu and Ruan Xiaoyu entered the miasmic corridor together. In no time at all, Ye Feng and Little Ai also followed. "Ah..." Grandmaster Hu shook his head as he saw Ye Feng had not heeded the advice and followed them anyway. The disdain in his eyes grew even thicker. Ruan Xiaoyu indifferently said, "We have done enough; we can’t save him every time, we have already done our moral duty..." In everyone’s view, Ye Feng was the kind of person who would not even notice a poisonous snake approaching. Even if he had some strength, how powerful could he actually be? No one paid attention to Ye Feng anymore, as they continued forward into the depths of the Chiyou Divine Cave.
