Chapter 143 Devil Flame Mountain Range
The next morning, the two of them continued on their way!

After traveling for more than ten days, he finally entered the Devil Flame Mountain Range.

“This is the Devil Flame Mountain Range?”

Ye Feng was a little puzzled. There was no way to tell where there was a devil flame here. Moreover, there was plenty of spiritual energy here. It was like a paradise.

“Don’t be confused by the scene in front of you. What you see may not be true. You should carefully feel it and see if you can find anything.”

At this time, Qi Ruomei reminded Ye Feng that sometimes what his eyes saw might not be true.

Ye Feng became interested and calmed his mind. Looking into the distance, he discovered that the space in front of him seemed to be covered with a layer of ripples. It was actually flowing.

“What’s going on?”

Ye Feng was very puzzled. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

‘”This is the peculiarity of the Devil Flame Mountain Range. The peculiarity lies in the law of time. The law of time here is different from the outside world. It is actually distorted and unsuitable for humans to live in. Otherwise, such a good environment would have been occupied by others long ago.”

Qi Ruomei explained to Ye Feng that the ripples that flowed just now were laws, different from the ones outside.

“There is such a thing!”

Ye Feng was very surprised.

“This is also why the demons chose this place as a teleportation portal. It’s because no one has come here all year round. Even if the demons come here, no one will know.”

Qi Ruomei continued.

“I see. Then let’s hurry up and get to the Devil Flame Mountain Range before sunset.”

After the two finished speaking, they continued on their journey, less than a day’s journey from the Devil Flame Mountain Range.

After traveling for more than half a day, the two of them finally arrived at the Devil Flame Mountain Range before dark. Ye Feng wanted to enter, but was stopped by Qi Ruomei. Now, they were resting outside for a night. Entering the Devil Flame Mountain Range at night was courting death.

Ye Feng did not ask why. Since Qi Ruomei did not allow her to enter, she naturally had her reasons. She found some withered branches. Although it was already past the depths of winter and the sky had turned warmer, at night, she still felt a burst of coldness.

“Ye Feng, do you know why I stopped you from entering at night?”

After lighting the campfire, the two of them sat side by side. Ye Feng took out some roasted meat jerky and the two of them chatted while eating.

“Why?”

Ye Feng took a bite of the lean meat and said.

“A large number of martial artists died in the Devil Flame Mountain Range back then. In order to stop the arrival of the devil race, thousands of martial artists died here. There were about a million of them, all of them died in the Devil Flame Mountain Range.”

Although Qi Ruomei had not personally witnessed the battle between humans and devils ten thousand years ago, there were descriptions and even pictures in the ancient books. Everything was lifelike.

Ye Feng frowned slightly. He should be able to imagine that there were countless human casualties in the battle back then, which was why he stopped the invasion of the demons and preserved the human heritage.

Qi Ruomei ate slowly. She tore off a small piece of lean meat with her hand and put it into her mouth. After she finished eating, she said again,

“After these martial artists died, no one collected their corpses or buried them. Their corpses were piled up like mountains. In addition, time was distorted here. Many people actually came back to life after their deaths because they lived in the crack of time, but without their souls, they only had one body left. They would wander around here one night.”

Qi Ruomei’s tone was very heavy. She put down the meat jerky in her hand as if she had lost her appetite.

“They formed ghouls?”

Ye Feng asked.

“It can be considered a Corpse Ghost, but it’s not enough. It’s because some people live in the crack of time. Sometimes they die, sometimes they resurrect. They’re completely out of their control. They’ve been attacked by demonic energy all year round. These dead people have already begun to demonize.”

Ye Feng was silent for a moment. It turned out that the Hall Master did not agree to come to the Devil Flame Mountain Range. This was a mission that had no return. Fortunately, he met Qi Ruomei. If he forcefully went deeper, he might really fall into these time cracks and even suffer some monster attacks.

However, there were exceptions to everything. Although the Devil Flame Mountain Range was dangerous, entering it during the day shouldn’t be a big problem. Originally, the Hall Master had only hoped that Ye Feng would go in during the day and take a look. When the time came, he would just leave. After completing the mission symbolically, he would be able to leave completely.

“Ye Feng, what do you plan to do after we go in during the day tomorrow? Do you really want to dig deeper into the Demon Cave?”

Qi Ruomei asked Ye Feng at this time.

Within a deep cave in the Devil Flame Mountain Range was the junction of the Devil Realm and the Human Realm. That place had already been sealed by humans, making it very difficult for the demons to penetrate the seal and enter the Divine Martial Continent.

“Go!”

What Ye Feng had decided was to be completed to the end. Without any perfunctory plan, he would try his best to complete it. A martial artist would have to be fearless and fearless from beginning to end!

The sky lit up. Qi Ruomei opened her eyes and found that she was pillowed on something very soft. She opened her eyes and saw that her head was actually on Ye Feng’s lap. Her face turned red and she hurriedly sat up.

“Sorry, did you not get a good night’s rest?”

Qi Ruomei did not expect that she would actually fall asleep. Her face had already turned red.

“It’s fine, let’s go!”

Ye Feng did not want her to be too embarrassed. A young girl fell asleep on a man’s body. It was normal for her to feel embarrassed. Ye Feng changed the topic and stood up to advance towards the Devil Flame Mountain Range.

The Demonic Flame Mountain Range was roughly a hundred miles long, not very large. A million people had died at such a distance. It could really be described as piling up like a mountain. In that battle, there were countless casualties and countless martial artists stayed here forever.

After stepping into the Devil Flame Mountain Range, the scene in front of Ye Feng underwent a strange change. Everything he saw was twisted. Whether it was a giant tree or a mountain rock, they were all growing in a twisted space-time.

“Ye Feng, we must lean together. If we fall into the distorted space-time, there will be jet lag. Maybe two identical people will appear.”

Qi Ruomei reminded Ye Feng at this time. She hoped that the two of them wouldn’t be too far apart. Once they fell into the distortion of time, their time would be misplaced. There might even be two identical people, one in the past, one in the present, one in the future.

“Give me your hand!”

Ye Feng suddenly stretched out his right hand, wanting to lead Qi Ruomei’s hand forward, so that such a situation would not occur.

Qi Ruomei blushed and hesitated for a moment before extending her left hand.

A feeling of weakness and weakness came to Ye Feng’s mind. Qi Ruomei’s hand was very small and soft, as if there were no bones. Ye Feng threw away the charm that appeared in his mind, took a deep breath, and led Qi Ruomei towards the depths of the Devil Flame Mountain Range.

The two of them walked in the distorted space like this, as if they were at the horizon. Sometimes, they felt that the scenery in front of them was right in front of them. Sometimes, even Ye Feng’s body was walking on end.

After walking for about half a day, he finally entered the depths of the Devil Flame Mountain Range. There was still a short distance to the Devil Cave. As long as he entered the Devil Cave and inspected the seal, if the seal was intact, the Devil Race would naturally not be able to enter the Divine Martial Continent. If there were cracks in the seal, the Devil Race might sweep over again.

“Ye Feng, look, there’s a demonic cave ahead!”

In the distorted space, the two of them felt extremely uncomfortable. Qi Ruomei suddenly pointed to the front and told Ye Feng that there was a demonic cave ahead.

“Let’s go, we’ll try to get out before it gets dark!”

Because monsters appeared at night, the two of them had to leave before nightfall to avoid falling into the Devil Flame Mountain Range.

A huge pitch black hole appeared in front of the two of them. It was like an ancient demonic beast. It opened its huge mouth and devoured everything. Strange cries came from the depths of the hole, causing one’s hair to stand on end.

“Ye Feng, are you sure you want to go in and take a look!”

After all, Qi Ruomei was a woman. Hearing this strange cry, she was a little scared and moved closer to Ye Feng.

“Why don’t you wait for me outside? I’ll come out immediately after I go in and check it out. If I don’t come out before dark, you can leave this place yourself.”

Seeing Qi Ruomei’s appearance, Ye Feng could not bear for her to follow him and take risks, letting her stay outside.

“No, I can’t let you take risks by yourself. Since I’ve come with you, I’ll naturally bear the consequences together.”

Qi Ruomei’s gaze became calm and determined, wanting to accompany Ye Feng inside.

“Alright then. Follow me closely. Don’t leave me half a step.”

After entering the edge of the cave entrance, the distorted time disappeared. Ye Feng let go of Qi Ruomei’s hand. The latter seemed to be a bit unfinished. Qi Ruomei felt a little disappointed. She quickly adjusted her emotions and followed Ye Feng towards the pitch-black cave entrance.

It was pitch black inside. Fortunately, Ye Feng had made preparations beforehand. He took out the fire seed and illuminated the surroundings.

However, this cave was incomparably huge. It did not look for a margin, and Ye Feng did not even know where it extended to, as if it was leading to the Devil Realm.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a strange wind came from inside the black hole. Then, some unknown flying objects appeared and flew towards the two of them. Qi Ruomei immediately took out her collar and prepared for the battle.

“Don’t panic, this is a night bat, it doesn’t have much offensive power!”

Ye Feng relied on the weak light to know what kind of flying object this was and stopped Qi Ruomei.

“Kacha!”

Ye Feng’s feet seemed to be stepping on something. He lowered his head and saw that it was a skeleton. It had already rotted, and its flesh and blood had disappeared. Even its bones began to weathered. Ye Feng stepped on it and turned it into powder.

Lowering the flames a little, Ye Feng looked ahead and discovered that there was a dense layer of corpses lying on the ground. They were all left behind ten thousand years ago.

Qi Ruomei was so frightened that she tightly grabbed Ye Feng’s arm. She did not want to take a step away from Ye Feng and the two of them leaned against each other tightly.

“It’s fine. It’s just some skeletons. They’ve been dead for many years. Unfortunately, some storage rings have already decayed. Otherwise, they would have made another fortune.”

Ye Feng said with a tone of pity.

“You’re still thinking about this!” Qi Ruomei rolled her eyes at him. She really didn’t understand why Ye Feng was so sensitive to resources.

If he knew that Ye Feng had nine dantian, he would need an ordinary person ten times, or even tens of times, then he would know why he was crazily accumulating money.

‘”Ye Feng, don’t you think it’s strange? It’s been so many years. Why hasn’t anyone entered this place? I heard that the academy sends people to the Devil Flame Mountain Range every other year to check if there are any signs of invasion. Why hasn’t anyone entered this place?”

Qi Ruomei asked doubtfully.
