Chapter 335: Poison Mist Forest
Chapter 335: Poison Mist Forest
The group walked over Cheng Feng, stepping on the silk threads scattered on the ground and the dolls lying on their sides.
Zhang Qiling glanced at Cheng Feng's fingers, seemingly wanting to say something, but then remained silent.
Fortunately, he was there to speak for Black Bear.
"Boss, if I'm not mistaken, that move you just made seems to be the 'Hunter's Finger' technique passed down in the Zhang family."
The ability to pry open bricks is not just about having hard fingers; the most crucial aspect is the dexterity and sensitive senses.
With the "tomb-opening finger," one can open or dismantle mechanisms even in confined spaces.
This avoids the trouble caused by extensively breaking open the outer shell of the protective mechanism.
Cheng Feng didn't say anything, but tossed something to Hei Xiazi and then called to the others to walk to the other side of the stage.
Hei Xiazi opened his palm and looked at what Cheng Feng had thrown to him.
"The Heavenly Official bestows blessings, granting freedom from all taboos; is the Heavenly Official's seal truly real?"
The bear examined it from all angles, almost as if it wanted to take a bite.
Finally, based on his years of accumulated knowledge, he had to admit that the tomb raider's seal was genuine.
Hei Xiazi quickly caught up with the group and handed the Tomb Raider Seal to Cheng Feng, saying:
"So, boss, you, the head of the Unloading Ridge faction, also hold the position of the Heavenly Official of Excavation!"
"Look at you, you're getting more and more absurd. Apart from the Guanshan Taibao sect, which has been passed down from ancient times, what other tomb-raiding sects have existed?"
I know all the secret techniques passed down from all other sects.
As he spoke, Cheng Feng stopped in his tracks. Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Cheng Feng turned around and looked at the stage.
With a flick of the finger, a gust of wind, barely visible to the naked eye, blew into the hole created by the Tomb Raider's Finger.
With a click,
Instantly, all the puppets that had fallen to the ground on the stage were pulled up again by the silk threads.
"Let's leave Tian Youjin and the others with a little surprise, otherwise it will seem like we're setting up traps for them."
After saying that, Cheng Feng lifted his foot and continued on his way.
Black Bear hadn't quite processed what Cheng Feng had said before, and was interrupted by Cheng Feng's actions, giving him a helpless smile.
I'm not going to dwell on these things anymore.
Anyway, the big boss is already inhuman enough, so any more tricks would just be icing on the cake.
After passing the stage, a long, narrow passageway lies ahead.
The passageway has stone steps that lead downwards.
Cheng Feng and his group of seven walked up the steps. The passageway made several turns along the way, but the downward angle remained unchanged.
"We've been walking for about half an hour now. The people who built this passage back then really had perseverance."
Huo Ling rubbed her stiff leg muscles and spoke with a slightly tired expression.
"This isn't something that requires perseverance. Almost all the magnificent projects you know of in ancient times were built with human lives."
Walking beside Huo Ling, Chen Wenjin took Huo Ling's arm, helping to share some of the pressure.
Perhaps because they had walked through the passage for too long, everyone had the illusion that the passage seemed endless.
Just as Cheng Feng was about to suggest taking a break, a barely perceptible breeze blew by, which invigorated him.
"We're almost at the exit, everyone hang in there a little longer."
Cheng Feng's discovery was timely, immediately revitalizing the demoralized team.
The group quickened their pace, eager to leave.
Meanwhile, inside the Tianlin Tower, shrouded in darkness.
A group of people wearing bulletproof vests and carrying automatic rifles silently moved from the third floor to the second floor.
Their movements were professional, with tactical hand signals complementing their actions, and they cleanly and efficiently surrounded rooms 207, 208, and 209.
One of the people leaning against the door of room 208 made a gesture, and the person on the other side of the door took out a wire.
After inserting the key into the keyhole and poking it a few times, the door lock was opened.
At this moment, everyone held their breath and remained still, listening for a while to hear any sounds coming from inside the room.
After finding no unusual noises, the man opened the door and threw a stun grenade inside.
A piercing sonic boom, accompanied by a fleeting flash of light, appeared inside the room. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man pushed open the door.
The teammates, who had been lying in ambush, rolled into the room.
A few minutes later, the leader spoke into a walkie-talkie:
"A secret passage was found in the room; the target must have left through it."
"A secret passage? Go down and investigate. I'll be right there."
Tian Youjin's voice was somewhat hurried; although the information he had was not as detailed as that of Cheng Feng and the others,
But it's easy to guess that this secret passage must be the entrance to Thunder City.
After seeing the stone well in the secret passage, he had no more doubts and immediately ordered his men to retrieve the equipment and supplies.
We must catch up with Cheng Feng and his group to prevent the secrets and treasures of Lei City from falling into the wrong hands.
After a flurry of activity as they packed their equipment, Tian Youjin's team finally set off for Lei City.
Having been blinded by Lei Cheng, he had completely disregarded life and death.
On the other side, Cheng Feng and the others finally reached the end of the stone steps a few minutes later.
This is a rather primitive cave, and the exit is just ahead.
The moment Cheng Feng stepped out of the cave, the system notification sounded as expected.
'Ding~'
Host detected entering Thunder City's territory; cleanup mission initiated.
Task 1: Eliminate the three-legged toad
Reward: Jianmu Seed
Task Two: Eliminate the Evil God's Split Entities
Reward: Thunder Control
Although only two quests were refreshed in Thunder City, their quality was surprisingly high.
Cheng Feng had seen Jianmu in the South China Sea Ruins, but Jianmu was already dead at that time and was turned into a rocket by the Hentian tribe to leave the Ruins.
Legend has it that the Jianmu tree grows in the sea, and no matter how deep the seabed is, it will eventually rise to the surface and connect with the sky.
Moreover, Jianmu has a similar legend to the sacred tree of Qinling, and it is said that offering sacrifices to it can fulfill any wish.
Cheng Feng had reservations about this and would verify it once the Jianmu trees were actually planted.
What surprised Cheng Feng the most was the ability to control lightning; controlling the wind essentially eliminated the possibility of him falling to his death.
Perhaps in the future, I will be able to use this ability to fly.
Thunder control, as the name suggests, means the ability to control lightning and unleash palm-sized thunderbolts without cultivating magical techniques.
If word got out, it would make those who have achieved great spiritual cultivation extremely envious.
After reviewing the cleanup tasks issued by the system, Cheng Feng began to survey his surroundings.
This is a gloomy old forest, with a thin layer of mist permeating between the trees.
Not a single star could be seen overhead, and the forest was so silent it felt like being in another dimension.
"Boss, something's not right with this fog."
Hei Xiazi sensed something was amiss and, while taking out the parchment Cheng Feng had given him from his pocket, spoke up to warn him.
"This fog is highly toxic; ordinary people who inhale it will initially experience hallucinations."
Over time, the toxins damage the brain, causing brain death while preserving the person's basic appetite.
Cheng Feng's bloodline of the Yan Emperor gives him an instinct to distinguish the toxicity of poisons.
With this ability, there are very few poisons in the world that Cheng Feng cannot cure.
