Chapter 1241: Frightening Encounter at Sea!
"Brother Lin, let's go as well."
Ling Feng shook his head. After all, he had no friendship with the other Human Emperors. Even if they followed Zong Lian and got killed, it had nothing to do with him.
After all, the elixirs he had on him to restore his Elemental Power were limited, and with one less person following him, it would be a lighter burden.
Having said that, the four of Ling Feng simultaneously used their movement technique and dashed towards the north.
On the reef, only five Human Emperors led by Zong Lian were left. Everyone looked at Zong Lian in unison and said in a deep voice, "Grandmaster Zong, what should we do now?"
"What that kid said is probably half true and half false. However, if we want to find treasure, going north should be correct. Let's choose the northwest direction!"
Zong Lian frowned slightly. In his plan, Lou Qianzhong should have chosen to be in his team. That would have been the most beneficial result for him. Unexpectedly, Lou Qianzhong decided to form a one-man team, which undoubtedly weakened their team's strength significantly.
However, with four Human Emperors in his team, they would at least have a few shields if they encountered danger, which wasn't bad!
Thinking of this, Zong Lian's lips curled into a smile, saying lightly, "Don't worry, everyone. I'm an alchemist and have plenty of elixirs on me, enough to sustain us until we leave this cursed place. Following me is definitely the wisest choice!"
"Hahaha, I told you, following Grandmaster Zong can't be wrong!"
Chairman Fang looked at Zong Lian with a fawning smile, like a loyal dog.
"Let's go as well!"
Zong Lian shot off like a cannon towards the northwest, and the other Human Emperors exchanged glances and followed him.
...
Ling Feng's direction.
"I'm so angry! That old immortal Zong Lian makes me curse him to a terrible death!"
Lan Yuhuang was so angry that her teeth itched. Staring at Ling Feng, she huffed, "Why didn't you say anything to defend us, letting that damned Zong Lian slander us!"
Ling Feng looked calm and said lightly, "I already said, those who don't believe in their teammates are useless even if they come along."
Thinking this, a flash of light flickered from the Spirit Storage Ring in Ling Feng's hand, and he distributed over a dozen bottles of elixirs, saying lightly, "These elixirs, four bottles each, are enough to last a month even if you treat them as candy. There's no need to worry about running out of Elemental Power."
"Wow!"
Receiving so many elixirs at once, Lan Yuhuang's eyes immediately turned from anger to joy, "Haha, you dead fatty, you had so many elixirs hidden away. I thought our supplies would be scarce!"
She pouted, "Those stupid Human Emperors following Zong Lian won't even get one bottle of elixir, if they do, I'd eat my words!"
Ling Feng shook his head with a smile. That was just Lan Yuhuang's character, but with her in the team, it wouldn't be too lifeless.
"Brother Ling, these are precious sixth-level elixirs that can restore over forty percent of Elemental Power in a short time. They're too valuable!"
Lin Mu, an Inner Sect Disciple of the East Spirit Immortal Pond, had a discerning eye and was shocked to see Ling Feng take out so many precious elixirs at once.
"It's no problem. These are just elixirs I made for practice when I was bored."
Ling Feng touched his nose. When he used to study alchemy with Yan Cangtian, they would stay up all night making elixirs. Since there were no shortages of materials, they ended up producing a huge pile of elixirs that weren't used in time.
He hadn't expected that they would suddenly come in handy now.
At this moment, the clear sky suddenly turned into night, with no stars visible across the Sky Dome, and the entire sea became pitch black, making it impossible to see one's hands.
Ling Feng activated Swallowing Flame to barely light the way ahead, and Tuoba Yan exclaimed, "The alternation of day and night in this space seems strange."
"I just feel that the unpleasant aura seems to be getting stronger."
Lin Mu also frowned, and without knowing when, his Long Sword was already glowing with a blue shine.
"Yes, it's the aura of the monster felt earlier on the island! And there seem to be more of them!"
Ling Feng took a deep breath. Those cannibalistic cultivators continuously mutated, even growing wings and fangs. Ling Feng preferred to call them monsters rather than humans.
"Ah!—"
But at that moment, two continuous screams suddenly echoed!
They came from a distance of about dozens of miles, but they couldn't evade Ling Feng's perception. Likewise, Tuoba Yan and Lin Mu heard the sound too, but Lan Yuhuang, with relatively weaker Spiritual Power, didn't notice.
Ling Feng heard it clearly; the scream was from Chairman Fang.
They had barely been separated for fifteen minutes, and another team had already encountered trouble.
Swish!
A shadow flashed and arrived—none other than Lou Qianzhong who had left earlier.
Clearly, he had heard the scream and returned.
Zong Lian's face slightly tensed when he saw Ling Feng and his group, saying in a deep voice, "Kid, it seems you weren't lying. This cursed place is indeed fraught with danger! Let's go and take a look!"
Ling Feng frowned slightly. In truth, even without going back, he could roughly guess what had happened. People like Zong Lian would die in vain, so Ling Feng was in no hurry to care.
He gazed at Lou Qianzhong's retreating back and hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow and take a look.
With the speed of Ling Feng and his group, they arrived at the source of the screams in less than a quarter of an hour, but the sight before them gave a chilling feeling.
The seawater below had turned blood red, a strong smell of blood assaulted their senses, causing them to frown deeply.
On a sharp reef ahead, there was still a puddle of blood, seemingly from a body shattered by a fierce collision!
Ling Feng squinted and barely recognized the clothes on the body. Astonishingly, it was Zong Lian!
The most hair-raising part was that Zong Lian hadn't completely died yet. The remaining upper half of his body crawled fearfully, his bloodshot eyes looking at Ling Feng and his party, struggling to reach out his bloodied hand, "Save...save me! There's...a monster...a mon..."
Before he could finish his words, Zong Lian breathed his last.
"Ugh..."
Seeing this gruesome scene, Lan Yuhuang's stomach churned, almost making her vomit.
Normally, she would have mocked the situation as self-inflicted, but now, she only felt her scalp tingle and her body tremble.
Zong Lian, though not a good person, had reached the middle level of a Human Emperor in strength. Such a strong person was killed in such a short time!
Then, how terrifying was the strength of the cannibalistic demons Ling Feng spoke of?
Ling Feng's expression turned extremely serious because, until now, those monsters hadn't been detected in his Divine Sense perception or the Unlimited Vision. This meant that those mutated monsters had evolved to shield a martial artist's spiritual perception, approaching unnoticed.
And this hidden crisis lurking in the darkness was truly terrifying.
Bone-chilling terror!
