The Host Of An Ancient Spirit Chapter 43

The two elders from the Heimo Sect and the Shenhuo Sect showed a hint of joy. The elder from the Heimo Sect said with a smile, "I didn't expect the golden lion was so powerful that it could only be killed by our joint efforts. Fortunately, I can finally own its beast nucleus now.”

With these words, the elder of the Heimo Sect jumped to the side of the lion swiftly and cut the lion’s head open with the long sword in his hand. A round bead suddenly flew out. The elder of the Heimo Sect smiled gently and s.n.a.t.c.hed the bead after a ray of light flashed in his hand.

He took a look at the sparkling bead in his hand. It was an eighth-level beast nucleus with immeasurable value. Then he leaped up and disappeared, leaving all the dead disciples alone below.

Seeing his back fading in the distance, the elder of the Shenhuo Sect showed a sign of contempt and sneered, "It’s just an eighth-level beast nucleus. Although it can improve your strength to some extent, it will still take some time for you to have it refined. You didn’t realize that the entire body of the golden lion is the real treasure, including the fur.”

Finding some disciples were still alive and had some strength left in them, he showed a hint of coldness in his eyes and ordered, "Cut the golden lion into pieces and take away as much as you can, then set fire to everything here."

"Yes, master!"

Chen Feng looked at everything below. Hearing that they were going to burn everything, he felt quite nervous. However, it was obviously impossible to go down at this moment because he it’d be impossible for him not to be killed by the elder of Shenhuo Sect who had reached the Ling spirit level.

Clenching his teeth and glancing at the endless mountain peaks, he whispered to Murong Xiaorou, "I’m afraid that we have no choice but to go upward now."

"Okay, then we just go upward. So long as we can cross the peak, we will find another way out. The fire has been spreading here and it seems that we won’t be able to get out later." Murong Xiaorou nodded and agreed, then they ran toward the top of the mountain together.

Fortunately, they had very strong Ling force, especially Chen Feng, whose vitality seemed to be inexhaustible, and showed no signs of slowing down.

Although the peaks were high, they would end up somewhere in the distance. About an hour later, Chen Feng finally saw a glimmer of light and the peak was just within their reach.

Stomping his foot, Chen Feng immediately poured all his Ling force out. He suddenly jumped to the top of mountain with the Ling force in his hands and Murong Xiaorou also appeared on the peak with him.

“Wow! This strange mountain has such a high peak," Chen Feng lamented and took a sigh of relief.

Murong Xiaorou nodded. She hardly had a moment to rest when she suddenly felt the force of suction. The place where they were sitting started to shake and a deep pit appeared unexpectedly. Since they had been completely relaxed at that moment, they had no time to react and quickly fell inside.

Their screams echoed in the air and they both kept falling but never reached the bottom. Chen Feng felt shocked because they had already fallen for a short while, but they hadn’t reached the bottom yet. It was really weird.

Anyone who fell into such a deep cave, even the strongest person at the Ling spirit level, would be killed.

Chen Feng grasped Murong Xiaorou while continuously releasing his Ling force against the rocks around them. The rocks were so exceptionally smooth that it was impossible for them to settle. Chen Feng had to stamp on the stone walls repeatedly to make himself slow down lest he would fall down and be killed.

Even if he had strong Ling force, he couldn’t withstand such a big consumption. After a while, he felt his Ling power was going to be exhausted. Then, Murong Xiaorou also constantly released her Ling force against the stone walls to repeat the actions Chen Feng had done before.

He admired her great vitality and quickly swallowed a pill. Then, they both took turns trying to slow themselves. 

Finally, with the sound of a bang, they felt a gust of force under their feet. The powerful reverberation rushed against Chen Feng first so violently that he felt as if his body was going to break apart. Fortunately, before he landed, he released some soft Ling force out of his palms to support Murong Xiaorou a certain distance upward, so that she did not feel the slightest shock force when she touched the ground.

"Why did you do that for me?" Murong Xiaorou certainly knew the reason.

Chen Feng smiled gently and felt his sense of consciousness return to him, saying, "My physical strength is superior to yours because I have practiced external martial arts. Although I am still cultivating my Qihai acupoint, my physical power is not weak at all."

He looked around and found the place was not big, with solid stone walls. No path could be found here. He looked up and found he could not even see the surface.

"Where am I? It seems there’s no way out at all. Shall I be trapped here forever?" Chen Feng said to himself. Fortunately, there was a pond nearby, so they could at least subsist for a time.
