Chapter 264 Waiting for Reinforcements
The Cold Wind Wolf King wanted to stop Hong Yuan, but suddenly found that a figure had appeared in his sight, and a huge figure appeared from behind him and suddenly slashed down with a sword.
Boom! The Frost Wind Wolf King took a step back, his eyes filled with confusion. He had never expected that this human in front of him could actually block his attack and even force him to retreat.
Watching Hong Yuan's figure gradually moving away, Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief. He and this guy were the only ones left here. In that case, the most important thing to do now was to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
He would not choose to go over and die, he just needed to deal with it according to the method.
He had already used a lot of strength in the previous move, and his arm was very painful, so he didn't need to attack it next time, he just needed to dodge.
While he was still thinking, the Cold Wind Wolf King had already rushed over here, and his speed was extremely fast.
Chen Li's speed was naturally not as slow as expected, but when he dodged, he was still hit.
Bang! His body flew a long way in the air. After he finally managed to stabilize himself, he found that this guy had appeared in front of him again.
In an instant, a golden light flashed, and Chen Li disappeared like a phantom, which surprised the Cold Wind Wolf King.
It didn't expect that this human was so slippery, like a loach, but even so, it had no intention of letting the other party go.
One prey has been lost, and now only Chen Li is left here. Even if he wants to run, it is impossible.
The moment Chen Li avoided the attack of the Cold Wind Wolf King, he quickly moved to another direction.
Just as he stood firm, the Cold Wind Wolf King's gaze turned towards him and he rushed over.
Its speed suddenly increased. No matter how capable Chen Li was, he had no way of fighting the Cold Wind Wolf King head-on.
Now that the sword intent field has been opened, you just need to use the amplification brought by the sword intent field to allow yourself to successfully hold on until the reinforcements arrive.
As time passed, Chen Li didn't know how long he had been hiding, but his breathing became a little difficult.
There were also many scars on his body, making him look very weak. It was estimated that he would not be able to hold on for much longer.
"Damn it, such a long time has passed and the reinforcements haven't arrived yet. Am I being tricked?" Chen Li frowned and said weakly.
Although the spiritual energy of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage is very huge, the spiritual energy consumed by the sword intent field is still very large.
In addition, the one he was facing was the Cold Wind Wolf King, who had crossed a realm and was able to hold on until now, which was actually very good.
He breathed deeply, and the spiritual energy around him was constantly recovering from his injuries.
The Cold Wind Wolf King stared at Chen Li, grinning as if he was mocking him.
Of course Chen Li knew very well that the other party was playing a trick on him, and when he ran out of strength, the Cold Wind Wolf King would probably swallow him.
He moved his right hand and grasped the black sword. It seemed that he had no choice but to use force. Waiting for reinforcements to arrive was probably a fantasy.
In a place like this, the only person you can trust is yourself. It seems that I am too naive to trust others.
At the moment when he thought of this, an old voice exploded in Chen Li's mind: "Retreat, retreat as far as you can."
Chen Li did not hesitate and retreated in the direction behind him immediately.
He still felt that this voice was somewhat familiar. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be Hong Feng's voice.
The moment Chen Li retreated, the Cold Wind Wolf King rushed over immediately, but before he reached Chen Li, he was pierced through the body by countless spears.
In just a moment, the Cold Wind Wolf King, who had been so majestic just now, had been pierced through the body by a spear and became like a hornet's nest.
Chen Li took a breath of cold air. This was really something he had not expected. The Cold Wind Wolf King was killed in just a moment. It seemed that Hong Feng's cultivation was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Thank you, Senior Hong." When Chen Li saw a figure not far away, he also thanked respectfully.
In fact, he also knew that there was no way he would die there. Even if Hong Feng didn't take action, the White Jade Spider would.
Of course, when there is no real threat to its life, the White Jade Spider would not care about so many things.
Hong Feng waved his hand and slowly walked to Chen Li. "I never thought that you actually found Hong Yuan."
He was still dealing with things at the time, and then he heard Hong Yuan's voice asking him to come and rescue people.
In fact, Hong Feng also thought about letting Chen Li die outside, because in this way, he would not have to hand over the Earth Heart Lotus.
But as a senior and the manager of a town, he would be making a big mistake if he went back on his word.
That's why he chose to come and rescue people, but he didn't expect that Chen Li was so tough and could hold out for such a long time under the hands of the Cold Wind Wolf King.
"Of course. After all, the reward is the Earth Core Lotus." Chen Li said this bluntly.
Hong Feng touched his chin, then turned and walked forward: "Come with me, I will give you the Earth Heart Lotus after we go back."
Chen Li nodded without thinking too much about it, but he became excited because he could finally get the Earth Heart Lotus.
Soon, Chen Li and his companions returned to the town. Hong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Chen Li was safe and sound.
Fortunately, his father agreed to his request, otherwise his savior would have died there.
Afterwards, Chen Li and Hong Feng entered the house and used spiritual energy to block the surrounding vision.
Hong Feng said calmly, "No matter what you see next, you must not tell anyone. You must swear by your heart."
Chen Li took a deep breath and looked at Hong Feng in such a state. He really didn't know what to say.
What exactly is in here? Why do I need to swear an oath with my heart of Tao?
Although he didn't know what was going on, he still agreed: "I, Chen Li, swear on my heart of Taoism that I will never tell anyone what I see next. If I break my promise, I will suffer the pain of being devoured by thousands of demons."
After hearing Chen Li's oath, Hong Feng breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Don't blame me, because we have been protecting these things for generations."
As he said that, he pushed the wall, and a secret door soon appeared in Chen Li's sight.
After opening the secret door, Chen Li followed Hong Feng inside. The secret door was not very long, and after walking a few steps, Chen Li saw the light in front.
The moment he walked out of the secret door, he took a deep breath when he saw the various top-grade medicinal herbs in front of him.
"There is such a precious land in the Western Desert!" Chen Li was speechless. If these medicinal herbs were taken out casually, they would probably cause a sensation in the Kyushu Continent.
"Come with me, don't touch ." Hong Feng walked forward step by step, motioning Chen Li to follow.
Chen Li nodded and quickly caught up with Hong Feng. Soon they arrived at a lake and stopped.
Looking at the colorful scene in front of him, to be honest, he felt that this place did not seem to be in the Western Desert at all.
Then he shifted his gaze to the front. In the center of the lake, there was a white lotus that exuded a very rich spiritual energy, which made Chen Li swallow his saliva.
"Is this the Earth Heart Lotus?" Chen Li took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his accelerated heartbeat.
"That's right, this is the Earth Core Lotus, and now it is yours." Hong Feng said to Chen Li.
Chen Li nodded solemnly and walked slowly forward. Thanks to the spiritual energy, he could stand and walk on the lake.
After a while, he arrived in front of the Earth Heart Lotus, then bit his finger and dripped blood onto the Earth Heart Lotus.
If one wants to fully unleash the medicinal properties of a natural treasure like the Earth Heart Lotus, then one must blend it with a drop of blood before picking it, so that it can match the properties of the cultivator.
The moment Chen Li dripped blood into it, the blood was continuously absorbed, and then an extremely pure spiritual energy continued to spread.
Seeing that the blood had been absorbed, Chen Li immediately picked out the Earth Heart Lotus.
"The best option is to take the Earth Lotus immediately after picking it." Seeing Chen Li planning to put the Earth Lotus into the space ring, Hong Feng reminded him.
Chen Li was stunned for a moment, looking at the Earth Lotus in his hand, and finally decided to take it.
He put the petals into his mouth. As soon as he put them in, the petals turned into pure spiritual energy and flowed into Chen Li's limbs and bones.
In the Dantian, the Nascent Soul is constantly expanding, allowing Chen Li to feel that his strength is rising steadily.
He sat cross-legged and began to absorb the spiritual energy. Now was the best opportunity. He must take advantage of this moment to digest all the spiritual energy of the Earth Heart Lotus.
Hong Feng watched Chen Li enter a state of meditation, then turned around and left. Judging from Chen Li's appearance, it was estimated that it would take at least several decades for him to wake up.
The medicinal effect of the Earth Heart Lotus is extremely pure. Even for the most capable person, it would take decades to completely digest its spiritual energy.
When Hong Feng left there and returned to the house, he found Hong Yuan standing at the door waiting for him.
"Father, where did you take him?" Hong Yuan looked at Hong Feng and asked.
Hong Feng nodded, stroked his beard and said, "Yes, after all, I promised him that as long as he brings you back safely, I will give him the Earth Heart Lotus."
Hearing this, Hong Yuan couldn't believe his ears, "Are you crazy? Although we have been protecting that piece of land for generations , it doesn't belong to us."
"Of course I know that place belongs to the Yunjian Sect, but the Yunjian Sect has been destroyed for a thousand years. Besides, our clan has the right to select medicinal materials once every five hundred years. I just gave my chance to him." Hong Feng said solemnly.
Hong Yuan didn't know what to say, he just stood there looking a little dazed. After all, he really didn't expect that his father would actually take Chen Li to the Yunjian Sect's medicine field and give him the Earth Heart Lotus.
In the end, he didn't say anything. After all, he had already brought Chen Li there. He just hoped that he wouldn't do anything against common sense.
They are only eligible to go in and pick herbs once every five hundred years, and only one flower at a time. If they pick more than one, they will be punished by the ban.
If Chen Li knew nothing and went to pick the herbs there, he would probably die without knowing how.
On Chen Li's side, he was quietly digesting the spiritual energy. The spiritual energy of the Earth Core Lotus was so pure that his strength was constantly growing.
At this rate, I will probably be able to break through from the early Nascent Soul stage to the middle Nascent Soul stage within a week.
The corners of his mouth rose slowly. He didn't expect that he could be promoted so easily. It was worth it that he almost lost his life to save others.
Not knowing what was going on, Chen Li suddenly felt the strange light spot in his body moving, and it was constantly guiding the spiritual energy of the Earth Heart Lotus.
Seeing the spiritual energy flowing faster and faster, Chen Li's face showed surprise. He did not expect such a situation to occur.
Following this guidance, it would probably only take one day for me to reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
