Chapter 152:
Chapter 152 – Extracting Corn from Fire
Relying on the Wind Sound Illusion Skill, it was difficult for even the peak of the Viscera Practicing Realm to detect him, and Qu Jintai thought that concealing him from a Marrow Practicing Realm should be more than enough. From this point, Qu Jintai thought he was already in an invincible position.
As a result, he didn’t expect that before intimidating and threatening him with a few words, Chen Fei even nearly burst him with an arrow, and if it wasn’t for his skillful stance, I’m afraid that he would already be dead at this moment.
It was such an arrow that broke all of Qu Jintai’s illusions, and he only hoped that Chen Fei would hurry up and disappear.
A quarter of an hour later, Qu Jintai realized that Chen Fei appeared on another branch, looking down from above, Qu Jintai cursed Chen Fei’s cunning while desperately running the Wind Sound Illusion Skill to hide himself even deeper.
Qu Jintai decided that he would hide like this until night to prevent Chen Fei from suddenly appearing.
Qu Jintai had already been scared out of his wits by Chen Fei!
Chen Fei did not find Qu Jintai, and then threw the matter of Qu Jintai to the back of his mind. It was just a martial artist with outstanding hiding stance, it was fine if the other party didn’t move, as long as they moved, they would actually be discovered by Chen Fei.
Thus, this kind of person’s threat to Chen Fei was very low, the margin for error was too low, and a single mistake from the other party would cost him his life.
Chen Fei looked at the two iron tags in his hand, next Chen Fei needed to get three more iron tags, after that if there was no pursuit, it was perfectly fine to hide and wait for the one month deadline to arrive, and that would complete the task.
The fifth weight of the Tong Yuan Gong had long since been perfected, the true disciple task was completed, Chen Fei only needed to return to the sect to pass the heart test, and he would be able to receive the inheritance of a true disciple with the identity of the Marrow Training Realm.
This kind of thing, naturally the stronger the better, Chen Fei didn’t mind at all to eliminate the Tong Yuan Gong so early and replace it with a stronger True Transmission Gong.
However, when the time came, if there was an opportunity, the iron tags could still be accumulated slightly, after all, on Guo Linshan’s side, he still didn’t know what the situation was.
“Hm?”
Chen Fei was just about to leave to take a look at the vermillion fruit tree when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Chen Fei looked at his body with some doubt, and always felt that there was a wave of fluctuation that emanated from his body.
Chen Fei looked for the source, and with some surprise, he took out the two iron plates, the fluctuations were actually emanating from here.
“Iron tags gathered together more than one will transmit information externally?”
Chen Fei was a bit stunned, this message had not been told to him before, and the recorded True Biography Trials had never had such a statement.
Unless this was this trial, purposely added?
Chen Fei recalled what Wu Guangyin had said before he set off, don’t cling to the experience of previous generations and examine the situation. Previously, Chen Fei had always thought that it was talking about the environmental changes within the secret territory.
Now that he thought about it again, he was afraid that part of it was talking about the changes in this iron plate.
When more of these iron tags are gathered, they will transmit information externally, and the recipients are feared to be the other iron tag holders. This is encouraging everyone to fight each other, the weak are the strong.
At that time, even if you want to find a place to hide, I’m afraid that you will have to divide the iron cards enough.
No, if this reform is to make the True Transmission Trial more harsh, I’m afraid that over time, as long as one possesses an iron plate, within a certain distance, they will all sense each other.
If one really finds a place to hide it, it is expected that others will directly follow the sensing and pass the iron cards along.
Chen Fei glanced around, unsure if there were any other people prying at the moment, and put the iron plate away to be dealt with later. Nowadays, Chen Fei was more interested in taking down that Vermillion Red Fruit.
That vermilion fruit tree was dangerous, and so was the python, but the vermilion fruit that was clearly there made it somewhat difficult for Chen Fei to part with it.
Now that the martial artists there were all scared off, Chen Fei also had enough time to think of a proper way to see if there was a chance to get the three vermilion fruits.
Vermilion Fruit was able to increase the cultivation level of internal energy, and what Chen Fei lacked the most nowadays was precisely his own cultivation level.
Chen Fei carefully returned to a hundred meters away from the Vermilion Fruit Tree, where there wasn’t the slightest trace of blood on the ground, I don’t know whether it was absorbed by the soil or swallowed clean by the Vermilion Fruit Tree.
The python did not move in the slightest, as if it had lost its life, it did not move at all, not even the slightest undulation.
Chen Fei glanced at the three vermilion fruits, his brows slightly wrinkled, wanting to repeat the same trick, using his bow and arrow to shoot those three vermilion fruits away.
However, the fruits were not iron tiles, which could withstand such tossing and turning, but the fruits were afraid that once the arrows hit them, the flesh of the fruits would immediately shatter under the huge force.
Chen Fei was trying to eat the vermillion fruits, not trying to destroy them.
Destroying them would only make the python furious.
Of course, if Chen Fei successfully obtained the Vermilion Fruit, the python would be just as furious, but at least Chen Fei had obtained something, and the python’s furiousness naturally belonged to the consequences that could be endured.
Moreover, even if the Vermilion Red Fruit could be as tough as an iron plate, Chen Fei’s arrows would have a hard time penetrating it. It was difficult for the python to stop the arrow, but the branches of the Vermilion Fruit Tree were a breeze.
Just now, the branches of the Vermilion Fruit Tree showed their strength and sensitivity, laying a dragnet was a very easy thing to do, and even though the arrow was fast, it was impossible for it to pass through silently.
“Silently?”
Chen Fei’s mind was flashing through all sorts of thoughts, when he suddenly paused at this word.
If the movement of the arrow was small enough so that the Vermilion Fruit Tree could not detect the threat, perhaps it could really be concealed from the Vermilion Fruit Tree’s perception.
However, the faster the speed of the arrow, the greater the commotion would definitely be, and the sound produced after the arrow rubbed against the air was actually very harsh.
Chen Fei’s bow skills were good, but he had not practiced to the extent that he could shoot at a fast speed, favoring the absence of sound.
There must be such a bow technique, but Chen Fei had not had the chance to come into contact with it yet. Chen Fei pulled out a jade pendant from his bosom, Hidden Wind Bow, Chen Fei hadn’t learned it, but the jade pendant could help Chen Fei hide the wind. Chen Fei looked at the jade pendant in his hand, this all-purpose semi-spiritual weapon seemed to come in handy again.
“Hide killing intent, hide movement, and soften the force of contact!”
The request spun around in Chen Fei’s mind, and in the next moment, the jade pendant emitted a faint glow, enveloping the three arrows in Chen Fei’s hands.
In the next moment, Chen Fei’s eyes opened, and the Thousand Silk Skill worked crazily, the Shakura Eternity acted on itself, and everything around him became slow.
Chen Fei saw the fluttering of the branches of the Vermilion Fruit Tree, as well as the slight trembling of the leaves on the branches, and even saw a trace of the wind’s trajectory.
Giant strength, iron bones!
Powerful strength filled Chen Fei’s body, which would allow Chen Fei to harness the bow and arrow in his hands with greater ease.
“Buzz!”
The bowstring vibrated, the three arrows did not bring out a single sound, and silently arrived in front of the branches of the Vermilion Fruit Tree.
The Vermilion Fruit Tree shook slightly, seemingly sensing something as its branches began to use their strength, wanting to attack the enemy. On the contrary, the Vermilion Fruit Tree didn’t notice any enemy, and the movement of the branches couldn’t help but sway.
“Boom!”
The three vermilion fruits were in different positions, the sequence of the arrows had a slight difference, the first arrow hit the leftmost vermilion fruit, the vermilion fruit didn’t burst into pieces, the arrowhead gently inserted into the fruit flesh, and then flew towards the sky outside instantly with the vermilion fruit.
“Buzz!”
As if a giant was suddenly furious, a terrifying aura swept across the surroundings, before the second and third arrows touched the vermilion fruit, they actually stalled slightly in mid-air.
Then the branches of the Vermilion Fruit Tree instantly stopped in front of the arrows, and in the blink of an eye, the arrows were rubbed into powder.
Chen Fei’s brain was stunned, but was immediately recovered by the Thousand Origin Technique.
Chen Fei’s right foot stomped hard on the ground as he frantically rushed towards the front.
The branches of the Vermilion Fruit Tree unfolded and struck the first arrow, but it only hit the air. Just now, this arrow had also stalled for a moment, but after all, it had flown for some distance, and this moment of stalling could not be retained after all.
Chen Fei also disappeared in place and flew towards the arrow in pursuit.
The arrow still had the power left behind by the jade pendant, and Chen Fei could sense the arrow’s location.
“Boom!”
Chen Fei ran wildly for dozens of meters, and the loud sound of a python rising came from behind, along with the terrifying commotion of dozens of branches waving in all directions, smashing through the air and smashing the ground.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Chen Fei, who was currently following his senses and dashing towards the location of the arrow.
In less than a tea time, Chen Fei found his arrow in a treetop.
A smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face as his body flashed and jumped onto the treetop, picking up this arrow and looking at the vermilion fruit on it, his eyes lit up slightly.
Just as he was about to reach out and pluck the vermillion fruit off, Chen Fei looked to the back, and a huge commotion was coming from over there. Chen Fei was too familiar with this kind of commotion, this was the result that could only be triggered by a python charging across the room.
“Surprisingly, it’s chasing over, is it relying on the sensation between it and the fruit?”
Chen Fei was a bit puzzled, but he didn’t dare to delay, his Soul Chasing Steps were in full operation, his body transformed into a shadow and ran towards the distance.
Regardless of what kind of induction, as long as the distance was far enough, it would be able to block this induction.
For a quarter of an hour or two, Chen Fei didn’t stop for anything before the movement at the back gradually disappeared. It wasn’t known if it had lost its sense, or if the python had given up.
Chen Fei jumped up to the top of the tree and looked at the color of the sky, as well as a glance at the surrounding directions.
There was also day and night within the secret territory, and it was exactly the same as the time running outside. Chen Fei did not intend to spend the night in the secret forest, this secret forest gave Chen Fei a bad feeling, as if there was always a feeling of being spied on.
This kind of prying eyes was not a single one, but no matter where Chen Fei ran to, there seemed to be eyes looking at Chen Fei.
Chen Fei tried to look for it, but he could never find the source.
Since this was the case, it would be better to go outside and find a safe place to spend the night, so that he wouldn’t have to be scared all night.
Before nightfall completely fell, Chen Fei found a cave.
This cave was probably where demonic beasts lived in the past, and there was still quite a bit of excrement inside, but it had all dried up as if it was stone. It was also probably this kind of smell that made this cave deserted until now.
Chen Fei carefully examined the inside and outside of the cave to make sure it was safe before summoning the wooden cabinet within the space compartment and taking a little bit of food, while placing the two iron medals directly into the wooden cabinet.
The iron medals could sense each other, and since Chen Fei didn’t want to be located, placing the iron medals into the space compartment was undoubtedly the safest.
As for not being able to sense other people, the most important thing Chen Fei needed to do nowadays was to refine the Vermillion Red Fruit, and naturally, not having any disturbances at this time was the best policy.
