Chapter 208: A Meeting in the Grand Hall

esources. Just from the white silver-level equipment they wore, it was evident."Ling'er, isn't she just a piece of Ziying-grade shard What a fuss."Han Yuqi said nonchalantly, tears already streaming d...Leaving Shizhu, Yunfeng returned along the original path and approached the center of the valley again.

This time, there was no interference whatsoever. Yun Feng arrived directly at the center of the valley.

"Here is actually a palace like this."

The valley was filled with demonic energy, but only near this palace was the demonic energy scarce. Moreover, the closer one got to the palace, the fainter the demonic energy became.

When Yun Feng was considering whether to step into the main hall, the doors of the hall opened automatically.

"Benefactor"

Immediately, a voice came, laced with surprise, astonishment, and worry.

"I didn't expect you to be here."

Yun Feng saw that Nan Gong Qi was also relieved.

"Benefactor, you...did you come here especially to find me"

"You said we'd meet when school started, but I've been here for ages and I haven't seen you."

Yunfeng sneered.

"I'm sorry, I only came in to collect some loot and ended up here by mistake."

Nan Gong Qi lowered his head. He was a man of his word, but he had failed the person who had saved his life.

"It's good to know you're alright. Your life is in my hands now. If I hadn't stumbled upon some clues on the school forum, I wouldn't have known you were trapped in the labyrinth."

"How did you get in here"

As Yunfeng walked into the main hall, he curiously asked.

He knew that although this place was spooky, the entrance was really hard to find.

If I hadn't been with the group of five, I wouldn't have been able to get in.

"That's how it is..."

Then, Nangong told everything from the beginning, starting with his experience in the forbidden area of Chufenglei Island.

First, he drank the elixir given by Yunfeng. His combat strength instantly reached the upper-middle level among those at the same rank as Hai Ping.

He did not return to his family, nor did he want to.

Instead, he concealed his information and began constantly entering and exiting various dimensional spaces, hunting monsters to obtain resources and accumulate credits.

After more than half a year, I finally used these resources to exchange for enough property potions.

Then he began to search for epic-level equipment, preparing to break through to the extraordinary level. The assets on his body were simply not enough to exchange for even a single epic-level item.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to encounter an epic monster in a dimensional space. After battling it for half a day, I managed to defeat it.

Recalling that battle, Nangong Qi was still a little afraid.

From his expression, Yunfeng could tell how dangerous that battle had been.

After stepping into the extraordinary realm with my ultimate combat power, my information was also exposed.

“Unexpectedly, the Yue family spared me, and the Long family began to pressure me again. Because during my absence, the Long family proposed marriage to the Yue family, and the object was Yue Tong.”

"By the way, Yue Tong is my girlfriend."

Speaking of this, Nangong Qi's face showed a hint of happiness, sweet and a little bit greasy.

"Get to the point."

Yun Feng couldn't take it anymore.

"Yue Tong's family put forward a condition: if I enter the Demon Cave and retrieve five hundred demon hearts and one hundred ice demon stones, they will consider letting us be together. Hearing such conditions, I agreed without hesitation."

It's possible for Nan Gong Qi to reach the extraordinary realm with his ultimate combat power and obtain five hundred Demon Hearts. With some time invested, it can definitely be accomplished.

"What is an Ice Demon Stone"

A new term caught Yun Feng's interest.

The Ice Demon Stone is a loot drop from the level 53 monster, Extreme Ice Fighting Demon. Besides the Magic Heart item, the Extreme Ice Fighting Demon also drops an Ice Demon Stone which greatly boosts ice element aptitude.

Yun Feng didn't need to ask to know that Yue Tong was probably the ice element talent awakener.

"As a newly ascended Transcendent, I could only farm monsters in areas of level 50. Unexpectedly, the Dragon Clan still made a move, intending to attack me within the Demon Cave."

"When I ran to level 51 monster zone, they chased me. I couldn't help it, so I activated my spatial teleportation skill and ended up here."

After hearing the story from Nangong Qi, Yun Feng couldn't help but marvel. This guy's luck was simply too good.

He teleported himself here.

"Just escaped the jaws of the tiger, only to find oneself in prison again. This demonic mountain valley is difficult to enter, and even more so to leave."

Yunfeng saw Nangong Qi's furrowed brow and troubled expression, and suddenly burst into laughter.

It seems like both times I encountered him, it was in this kind of "stuck" situation.

"What are you laughing at We can't actually get out of here. To be honest with you, my talent is an SS-rank space manipulator. But no matter what, I can't escape this valley, it's just too weird."

"Don't worry, there's always a way."

"But, my mental energy is almost at its limit."

"What's going on"

Yun Feng only realized at this moment that Nangong Qi's face was indeed unnaturally pale. At first, he thought it was because of his hairstyle.

Although there is no demonic energy within this great hall, it emits strange sounds every day, affecting people's minds.

As soon as Nan Gong Qigang finished speaking, a voice echoed throughout the main hall.

Mmm - Ugh - Uh - What - Throat

"Come closer to me."

After finishing his words, Nangong Qi pulled Yun Feng to his side and then used Space Severance to block the sound from entering.

But no matter how he blocked it, there were still sounds coming in from the cracks in the space.

When the sound rang out, Yun Feng also heard thunder in his ears.

Only now did Yun Feng raise his head to look at the menacing demonic statue.

The moment Yun Feng saw the statue, he thought he was still on Earth. The statue looked so much like Nezha, the Third Prince of the Sea in Journey to the West, it was just his features that had been made grotesque.

This might not be a golem.

What did you say

Once the magical sound faded, Nangong Qicai opened the spatial rift and heard the first thing Yunfeng said. This immediately made him puzzled.

"To be in this valley, a demon's lair, and enshrined within this grand hall, what else could it be but a demonic statue"

How do you know it was an offering

Yúnfēng countered.

"Here, there is only a statue, no incense burner, no offerings, nothing. I feel that it is not worship, but a seal."

Yun Feng expressed his own guess.

At this moment, he thought again of the little dragon imprisoned in the forbidden area of Fenglei Island and its master.

"It's no use guessing here now, we can't get out, it's all for nothing."

Nangong Qi slumped dejectedly.

"Here, take this. It should have some effect on the magic sound here."

Saying that, Yunfeng passed a pair of earplugs.

Soundproofing Earplugs: Ziying Grade Item. Can greatly obstruct the erosion of sound wave attacks.

"With this, I can hold on for a while longer."

Nan Gong Qi put in his earplugs and happily wore them.

Although I can't go out for now, it can delay my mental state, and he believes in Yunfeng after all, this is the god who can get out of the forbidden land.

"Having been here for over three months, have you made any other discoveries"

Yunfeng strolled around the main hall, but couldn't find anything special. He couldn't help but ask:

"Hearing you ask this, I've actually realized there are some differences." (Element - Ice), A Rank (Element - Wood, Element - Earth, Element - Wind, Beast Transformation - Lion), B Rank (Plunder, Copy, Copper Skin Iron Bone, Self-Healing, Perception Amplification), C Rank (...
