Unstoppable Crushing: Starting from Adding Points in Dreams-Chapter 271 - 166 Holy City, Return

Boom!!!

The last corpse fell to the ground, the giant pythons were disfigured, and various blood and residue splattered everywhere.

On the dry leaves, swamp surface, above the green trees.

The timid escapees turned pale, witnessing such a scene for the first time, they couldn’t help but run to the corner to vomit.

For a moment, frightened eyes converged, focusing on the figure in a brown coat in the center, slowly withdrawing his fist.

Molly’s face showed shock, the men beside her, including the spearman, firstly felt relief, but soon their expressions changed to shock and fear.

After all, they almost decided to confront him just moments ago.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, until finally.

A snapping sound was heard as a dry tree branch broke.

Chen Feng turned to look at the people.

In the moment their eyes met, Molly, as the mainstay among the escapees, hesitated for a moment but ultimately, bearing her injuries, she walked towards him.

"Thank you, Sir, for saving our lives!"

Her tone sincere and grateful, she quickly bowed in thanks.

Being the only one among them who had awakened a Life Seed, she was keenly aware of how powerful the other person was.

Third-order peak?

Perhaps even fourth-order?

She dared not to ponder further.

As for the young appearance of the stranger and why he approached them, Molly didn’t think too much into it.

After awakening a Life Seed, one naturally gains certain particularities, especially at a high order.

Maintaining a youthful appearance was no challenge.

It was common to have an eccentric personality and to disguise oneself as a common traveler wandering about.

Seeing this, Chen Feng’s expression remained unchanged, probably understanding what she inferred.

"Thank you for your help, Sir!"

"Previously, I, Wu Heng, was blind, please don’t take offense, Sir!"

The spearman and others gradually came to their senses, their faces turning red, and they bowed deeply in apology, their tone full of shame.

Without holding their previous actions against them, Chen Feng simply walked over to the body of the Black-Scaled Snake Man earlier, picking up a fist-sized piece of black stone.

Instinct told him it was some kind of metal ore, with Steel Bone Talent activating promptly.

[Metal Essence +1!]

[Metal Essence +1!]

Seconds later, with a snap,

the black stone shattered into gravel, appearing as though crushed by his grasp.

[Steel Bone LV3: 25/100]

The panel hint appeared, adding 1 point to his progression.

Looking around but unfortunately, no similar black stones were nearby.

"Are you looking for Obsidian, Sir?"

Molly’s gaze shifted slightly as she probably understood Chen Feng’s thoughts.

Without speaking, Chen Feng met her gaze.

"This type of ore is extremely rare, and ore clusters are hidden very well, known to no one."

"However, I’ve heard that it can be traded in Holy City, and it’s rumored to be used for certain rituals."

She likely figured out Chen Feng wasn’t from the Southern Territory.

It was in his appearance- such black hair and dark eyes, pale skin, she had never seen in the South; only rumored to exist in the Northern.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng thought for a moment and soon saw her directing people to gather the woven bags from the bodies nearby.

Inside were many snake-shaped knife coins, black, red, and silver, seemingly made of hard copper.

"This is the common currency in the Southern Territory, jointly made by the Black Blade, Huo Rong, and Silver Wood tribes."

"Please keep it well, Sir."

Her attitude sincere, seeing the money bag she handed over, Chen Feng pondered for a moment and accepted it, placing it inside a snake skin bag he picked up.

Though he felt it might be unnecessary, having it was better than not.

Then, watching her expectantly looking at him, and seeing the hopeful and humble eyes of the surrounding escapees,

he naturally understood the purpose of their proactive kindness.

His thoughts raced, and Chen Feng glanced at the bodies on the ground.

After all, he was here to draw out a Fourth-Order Snake Man.

Moreover, the Obsidian just now gave him some ideas.

If a fist-sized piece could offer some progress, how much would one the size of a human head, or even larger, provide?

If such stones were traded in Holy City, obtaining them would undoubtedly enhance his Steel Bone Talent significantly.

Immediately, he pointed southward with his hand.

Molly understood instantly, her face brimming with surprise.

"Thank you, Sir!"

If they really could have such a powerful being accompany them, their safety would be greatly increased.

The spearman and others were excited, voices of gratitude followed one after another.

Ultimately, the group embarked once more, Chen Feng proceeded in silence, only giving this method of interaction some thought.

"Perhaps, it’s time to learn the language of this world."

It sounded difficult, but in fact, it wasn’t very challenging for him.

After all, he could understand what these people were saying, which could be combined with syllable and tone differences, forcibly memorizing and then imitating the pronunciation.

Apart from that, his current Spiritual Strength was also extraordinary, as was his memory.

All the way,

stepping on the dry leaves, crossing the intertwined roots and muddy swamps.

Chen Feng took the opportunity to note down some syllables and words, simultaneously eavesdropping to learn more about this world.

The Snake Spirit Secret Realm, also known as the Snake Spirit Continent in the escapees’ discussions.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, this continent was immensely vast and had a very dazzling human civilization named the Ancient Tado Empire.

They mastered many ancient rituals and alchemical inventions, flourishing in their time.

However, later, the continent fractured, the civilization vanished, and the Snake God was born.

The first eight followers of the Snake God were blessed, and hence they became today’s Eight Great Snake Clans.

Each inherited a trace of the Snake God’s bloodline, endowed with miracles, and possessing absolute dominion over parts of the territories.

The region they were in was thus named by posterity as the Snake Spirit Continent.
