Chapter 5997: The Unique Boy From the Ancient Era
The boy from the Ancient Era’s race first pointed to Chu Feng, followed by the structure where the cultivation resources were. Then, he walked to the structure, pa.s.sing right through its walls.
“Follow me,” Chu Feng told Xia Xingchen and Huahua.
He descended toward the structure, heading toward the section of the wall where the boy had just pa.s.sed through. He first examined the wall, but he couldn’t find anything amiss. It didn’t feel like it would be possible to walk through it.
“What’s wrong, Chu Feng?” Huahua asked out of curiosity. fr???e??ovel.c?m
“I think we can enter from here,” Chu Feng said as he stepped forward.
He successfully walked through the seemingly normal wall as if it were a spirit formation gate. Huahua and Xia Xingchen quickly followed him.
“Woah, it’s possible to enter the structure! What’s going on?” Huahua was amazed.
However, both she and Xia Xingchen were soon stunned, as they traced Chu Feng’s eyes and saw a person standing not far away from them. It was the boy from the Ancient Era’s race.
“Who is he? Why does it seem like he can see us?”
Xia XIngchen and Huahua didn’t notice the boy earlier, so this was their first meeting.
“He was the one who guided us here,” Chu Feng replied.
“Ah? That means that he really can see us?”
Huahua and Xia Xingchen’s astonishment deepened. They didn’t think that the Ancient Era’s race was strong enough to see through their astonishment, let alone a boy who hadn’t matured yet.
“Speak. What do you want from us?” Chu Feng got to the point.
“You’re here for the cultivation resources, right?” that Ancient Era’s boy asked.
Despite his towering stature, his voice sounded like a ten-year-old child.
“Indeed,” Chu Feng replied.
“The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect has taken most of the cultivation resources, but there are some remaining. They are inferior in quality, but they should still be useful to you,” the Ancient Era’s boy said as he headed deeper into the structure.
Chu Feng and the others followed him.
The structure looked impressive, but it was just a huge warehouse. There were signs of items being harvested from the warehouse, though there was nothing left behind now.
They soon arrived at a huge area, where most of the cultivation resources were previously deposited.
The boy pointed to the wall. There were dark stains reminiscent of ashes sticking to the wall. The boy gestured for them to take a closer look at them.
“Brat, do you think we are fools?” Huahua glared at the boy in dissatisfaction.
There were indeed bits of cultivation resources left inside the dark stains, and they were of decent quality too. However, they couldn’t be a.s.similated.
To draw an a.n.a.logy, these cultivation resources were like steaming hot buns covered in sand. They would have to remove the sand before consuming the bun, but that would be a laborious process, and there was a good chance that the bun would spoil in the process of doing so.
The boy walked up to Huahua and spat on her hand.
However, Huahua was able to easily dodge the spit with her cultivation. With a flick of her finger, she bound the boy with her spirit power and crushed him onto the floor, leaving him groaning in pain.
“Brat, how can you be so uncouth as to spit on me after I exposed your deception!” Huahua was infuriated.
“Elder.” Chu Feng stepped forward and indicated for Huahua to stop.
“Chu Feng, don’t be fooled by this brat,” Huahua said, though she still listened to him and retracted her spirit power.
Chu Feng supported the boy to his feet.
The boy glared at Huahua in indignation. “You’re the dumb one! I didn’t lie to you!”
“You brat! You have to be taught a lesson. Chu Feng, step aside!”
Huahua rolled up her sleeves, but she didn’t make a move right away. She could have easily bypa.s.sed Chu Feng given her strength, but she was holding back out of consideration for Chu Feng. If the latter truly didn’t want her to attack the boy, she would refrain from doing so.
All of a sudden, there was a flash of light.
The boy’s saliva fused with the black stain, and the black stain turned golden. All the impurities inside the black stain disappeared, and it transformed into a superior cultivation resource.
“The heck! Does the saliva of Ancient Era’s races have such effects?” Xia Xingchen was surprised as she had never heard of such a thing.
“I am the only one with this ability. What I’m spitting isn’t saliva. How should I put it? You can think of it as honey. This is an ability that only I have,” the boy said.
“Oh? Little friend, it looks like we have underestimated you. My apologies for earlier,” Huahua apologized with a smile.
She trusted the boy’s words. This boy was indeed a special one, whether it was how he detected them or the ability he possessed.
“Don’t bother getting chummy with me. You have to do me a favor before I help you.”
The boy shoved Huahua aside. Despite his childlike voice, he had a mature character and wasn’t easy to coax. It was hard to tell whether the Ancient Era’s races matured early, or that this boy was a special one.
“How do you want us to help you?” Chu Feng asked.
“Rescue my clansmen from this place,” the boy replied.
“All right. We’ll find a chance to take all of you out.” Huahua accepted his request.
“We don’t have that much time. Those from the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect think that we don’t have any value left, so they intend to kill all of us,” the boy said.
“How do you know that?” Xia Xingchen asked.
She was skeptical of those words, as the Ancient Era’s race should have been panicking if they were going to be killed. Yet, they only looked exhausted.
“I’m guessing you overheard the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s plan?” Chu Feng asked.
“Yes, it’s one of my abilities too. I can see things and hear voices that are a far distance away, and my senses are not impeded by barriers,” the boy replied.
“When do they intend to make a move?” Chu Feng asked.
“Today, at any moment,” the boy replied.
