Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 40
Chapter 40 Soul Chasing Compass
Facing the bone spikes, Ye Feng retracted the axe and pulled it up. His body soared into the air and glided. It was several zhang tall. These bone spikes shot out from under his feet.
“So close!” Ye Feng thought to himself.
If it weren’t for the fact that his True Qi was so dense that he couldn’t reach a distance of several zhang, these bone spurs wouldn’t have been able to dodge by relying on the Mysterious Shadow Steps. This was Gu Mang’s last blow, which contained anger and sealed off every inch of space around him.
These bone spurs completely destroyed the surrounding space. A distance of several dozen meters was a mess. Trees were pierced through by bone spurs. Bone Fog’s body slowly lay down. His entire body was shriveled, and the bones in his body had long since been emptied.
“Unfortunately, I can’t absorb the essence of your body!”
Ye Feng’s face revealed a regretful expression. He was unable to absorb the essence of Bone Mang and did not stay. He walked towards Nether Valley and left this place as soon as possible. Nether Valley was too dangerous.
A few hundred miles away from Ye Feng, Gui Wuxue was standing in place. In front of him was a peak ninth layer flame ape. He had actually killed it with a single punch. The bloodthirst in his eyes became even more serious.
“This brat has actually arrived at Nether Valley. It’s four days away from me. I’m not in a hurry to kill you. I just need to wait here.” Gui Wuxue looked at the compass in his hand and actually knew the exact location of Ye Feng.
Ye Feng carefully moved forward. All the spirit herbs that appeared on the road were collected. After leaving, he could exchange them for large amounts of spirit stones to cultivate.
It took Ye Feng an hour to leave Nether Valley and enter a lava field. The temperature here was much higher because this place was located in a volcano. Magma erupted all year round, causing this place to be barren.
However, there was also a strange type of demonic beast, the Fire Devouring Beast. This kind of demonic beast’s food was magma. Its entire body was completely red, and high temperature magma was the best food for the Fire Devouring Beast.
When he entered this area, Ye Feng was very careful. He was still targeted by a few fire-eating beasts. They were very intelligent and there was no place to hide here. Ye Feng quickly leaked out in front of them.
The three fire-eating beasts surrounded Ye Feng and let out a low roar. Although they did not like human blood essence, someone entered their territory, they still attacked, not allowing humans to step into this place.
This time, Ye Feng did not pull out his axe. Although Gu Mang was powerful, his speed was not good. The Fire Eater Beast’s strength was much lower than Gu Mang’s. However, the Fire Eater Beast’s speed was astonishing.
The three fire-eating beasts lingered beside Ye Feng. Suddenly, one of them pounced towards Ye Feng. It was extremely fast, even faster than the speed of sound. It was as fast as a meteor.
Immediately after, the other two moved together, attacking Ye Feng in three different directions. It was like three red lines interweaving in the air. Ye Feng could see the fangs in their mouths through the red lines, and it was covered with scarlet magma.
The ferocious aura wanted to drown Ye Feng, so it opened its fangs and bit towards Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was enraged. His figure shot out and his fingers extended out. A dark green color appeared on his fingernails. His sharp fingernails grabbed towards the abdomen of one of the fire-eating beasts, bringing waves of strong winds. The air that he grabbed was filled with explosive sounds.
“Chi chi!”
They were fast. Ye Feng’s speed wasn’t slow. His fingernails penetrated through the fire-eating beast’s body and stabbed into its abdomen. His hands twitched, and it actually brought out the fire-eating beast’s internal organs. Blood surged violently, and fire essence flowed into Ye Feng’s body along his arm.
Ye Feng felt that another dantian had been activated. These fire-eating beasts’ bodies contained a large amount of fire spirits. After absorbing the magma all year round, these spirits slowly formed in their bodies and turned into fire essence that flowed into Ye Feng’s body.
“Roar!”
The fire-eating beast was in pain and let out a roar. Its body wanted to avoid it. How could Ye Feng let it leave? Opening another dantian made Ye Feng very excited. Opening the first Yin dantian greatly increased his strength. Now that he opened another fire dantian, wouldn’t his strength be able to increase again?
Ye Feng’s guess was correct. Although his cultivation didn’t increase much, the zhenqi in his dantian was growing crazily.
In the blink of an eye, the fire-eating beast was sucked dry by Ye Feng. One of its claws tore apart the fire-eating beast, tearing it apart. Ye Feng stared at the other two fire-eating beasts, and his body shot out. His claws pierced through the air and grabbed towards the fire-eating beast’s abdomen on the right side.
“Kacha!”
Passing through the bones, it was like cutting tofu. Ye Feng began to absorb the essence of this fire-eating beast. The fire dantian began to absorb it crazily. The flame energy continuously poured in, evolved into fire true energy, and began to store it, causing Ye Feng’s strength to rapidly increase.
With a tear of his big hand, his body and organs were like mud, completely destroyed by Ye Feng. He didn’t even have the space to struggle, so he couldn’t die any longer. The last fire-eating beast seemed to be afraid, and it actually wanted to escape.
Ye Feng transformed into a giant roc and leapt high into the air. Then, he landed in the air and inserted both of his hands into the back of the last fire-eating beast. He began to suck in his approval crazily.
After absorbing the three of them, Ye Feng seemed to be unsatisfied. Although his strength had increased a lot, it did not meet his requirements. His body was extremely lacking in flame energy.
The temperature of the magma was too high. Ye Feng was unable to extract fire energy from the magma, so he could only obtain it from the fire-eating beast’s body. However, the three fire-eating beasts were far from meeting Ye Feng’s needs.
Seeing that there were more than ten fire-eating beasts in the distance, Ye Feng’s eyes flickered and his body disappeared, approaching the more than ten fire-eating beasts.
Seeing that someone was approaching them, more than ten fire-eating beasts became vigilant at the same time, completely surrounding Ye Feng. They let out roars, their feet constantly moving on the ground. Seeing the corpses of three companions in the distance, more than ten fire-eating beasts were enraged.
Ye Feng did not withdraw his fingernails, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Without any hesitation, he pounced forward, and the hunt began.
The fire-eating beasts roared in unison. They saw another companion die cruelly by Ye Feng’s hands. In the end, they turned into a pile of meat paste and sprinkled it on the ground. They roared angrily towards the sky.
Facing the counterattack of more than ten fire-eating beasts, Ye Feng relied on his clever movement technique to dodge continuously. If Ye Feng wanted to hunt them down, he could kill them all in a few rounds.
However, Ye Feng was not in a hurry. He slowly hunted down the fire-eating beasts. One by one, the fire-eating beasts decreased. All the essence in their bodies evolved into fire true energy, entering Ye Feng’s body and filling his fire dantian.
It was only a cup of tea time, and only a dozen demonic beasts were left with minced meat on the ground. Ye Feng slowly stood up. Although the fire dantian had absorbed more than ten fire-eating beasts, it was still not saturated. He could only wait until there was a chance to find something like flames in the future to absorb them.
Time passed like a white horse. One day passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Feng faced three waves of demonic beasts, and they all dissolved one by one. The sky gradually darkened. The roars of the demonic beasts around him became even more intense. Looking at the sky, Ye Feng did not intend to continue his journey. He intended to find a quiet place to spend the night.
This Heavenly Elephant Valley was too dangerous. Ye Feng thought that the ninth level demonic beasts could not threaten him, but he still did not dare to be careless. It was very dangerous to travel late at night. If he encountered a powerful demonic beast and his vision was not clear at night, he would be at a disadvantage.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, Ye Feng found a huge tree hole, which was enough for him to accommodate it, and began to meditate and recover.
At night, it was the most terrifying time in Heavenly Elephant Valley. Ye Feng hid in a tree hole and heard beast roars and even some miserable screams coming from the surroundings. During this day, no one knew how many people would die at the beast’s mouth.
The next day, after dawn, Ye Feng ate some dry rations and prepared to go on his way. After a day of fighting, Ye Feng’s sensitivity to danger had increased by a lot, and he remained vigilant at all times.
“Hahaha, we’ve been looking for you for a day. We’ve finally found you.”
A cold laugh came from not far away from Ye Feng. Four or five disciples dressed in Da Luo costumes walked towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng should remember that the leader was called Fang Yu.
After the four or five people saw Ye Feng, they wore wild smiles on their faces, blocking Ye Feng’s path.
“How did you find me? It seems like the Valley of Heavenly Phenomena can’t tell the exact location of each of you, right?”
Ye Feng was very calm. He was surprised that these people would discover his tracks in just a day, which made him very puzzled.
“Kid, since you’re going to die, then we’ll let you be an understanding ghost. As long as you have this, are you afraid that I won’t be able to find you?” Zhu Zequn was also among them, with a sinister smile on his face. After receiving treatment from the upper echelons of Daluo Academy, his injuries seemed to be almost healed.
Seeing something similar to a compass appear in the other party’s hand, Ye Feng seemed to understand. This was a Soul Chasing Compass. As long as there was a strange fragrance on the person being chased, even if it was several hundred miles away, the Soul Chasing Compass would be able to clearly know the exact location of this person.
Ye Feng seemed to understand everything. No wonder, during the competition, three people suddenly appeared in Daluo College and blocked his path. At that time, he felt that something was wrong. Those three people weren’t strong, but they wanted to stop him. After sending them flying, Ye Feng suspected that he had smelled a strange fragrance and didn’t care.
The enemies wanted to see him, but they were all jealous. Zhu Zequn wished that he could tear Ye Feng apart and kill him directly. As the champion of the inner sect competition of Daluo Academy, he could be ranked in the top ten among the elite disciples. He was actually tortured by Ye Feng in Heavenly Spirit Academy. That humiliation was even more unbearable than killing him.
This humiliation could only be washed away with fresh blood. Therefore, he was the first to participate in this hunt. Only by killing Ye Feng would he be able to dispel the demons in his heart.
“Ye Feng, you humiliated me in public that day. This grudge is unsworn. Today is the day of your death. I advise you to obediently commit suicide, lest we make a move.”
Zhu Zequn laughed wildly. Today, there were five or six people, plus Senior Brother Fang Yu. Killing Ye Feng should be a matter of certainty. He laughed heartily without any scruples.
“You must be dreaming. Since I was unable to kill you that day and was rescued, I can kill you today as well. I originally didn’t want to look for you. Since you took the initiative to find me, then don’t blame me for killing you all together.”
Ye Feng sneered repeatedly, completely ignoring these people.
“What an arrogant tone. Today, I want to see how you can kill all of us.”
A cold voice came from Fang Yu’s mouth. This Fang Yu was an expert in the Sword Dao, and he was also skilled in scheming. He was extremely difficult to deal with.
