The Infinite Mystery

The flower's petals were as soft as a feather, when they separated from their main body, they slowly floated in the air before landing on the ground.

Soon after, a wisp of a strange fragrance wafted out from the scattered flower petals. It smelled as sweet as nectar.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Hua Xing said in surprise when she smelled the fragrance coming out from the flower petals.

However, the moment Feng Yi and Zhi Shu smelled the fragrance, their expression changed drastically. Without saying anything further, Feng Yi quickly pushed Qin Feng and Hua Xing away and scattered a ball of white powder. In that instant, a nauseous pungent smell filled their nostrils and quickly covered the fragrance of the flowers.

"It smells so bad. Senior Sister Feng Yi, what are you doing?" Hua Xing said in dissatisfaction.

The usually gentle Feng Yi glared at Hua Xing this time and said reproachfully, "We are not in the sect but inside a very dangerous forest. Stop playing around, do you understand? That flower was the Reaper Attraction Flower. Its fragrance is something that attracts Soul Reaper Bees the most."

Just as she finished her sentence, a soft buzzing sound came from the woods. Two or three black spots flew out of the trees on both sides of the road.

Feng Yi flicked her fingertip and a few fine needles transformed from spirit energy shot out, striking the bodies of the black dots as if they were needles. Then those few black dots fell to the ground with a soft sound.

"That is?"

Qin Feng, Hua Xing, Fan Feng Yi, and Zhi Shu focused their attention and saw that it was actually a few strange poisonous bees. These poisonous bees were very big and had colorful bodies. They also had a pair of sharp mouth pincers and a poisonous needle on their tail that was glowing with a dark green light.

What was even more shocking was that even though the bees had been penetrated, they still continued to struggle tenaciously on the ground. Their guillotine-like pincers kept moving which was very frightening.

Hua Xing couldn't help but jump in fright as she looked pitifully at Fan Feng Yi.

"The Soul Reaper Bees are a kind of terrifying poisonous insect, they usually come in groups. Their vitality is very tenacious and even a demonic beast at the Heaven Ascension Realm would be bitten to death by them. They are exceptionally sensitive to the smell of the Reaper Attraction Flower. Even from miles away, they can smell its fragrance. Luckily there were only a few that appeared, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

This time, it was Zhi Shu who explained. Her voice held a trace of fear.

Hua Xing was so pitiful that she was about to cry: "I didn't know about that. I'm sorry!"

"Forget it, don't blame her. She didn't mean it." Qin Feng said as he saw the wronged look on Hua Xing's face as she remained silent.

Fan Feng Yi and Zhi Shu didn't say anything more. Normally, she wouldn't blame others. This time, it was only because she was feeling a bit anxious. After all, they were about to reach the core area of the Demonic Mountain Forest. There are many powerful demonic beasts or other things that they might need to deal with. They have to be cautious all the time. 

"Then I'll throw these flowers away." Hua Xing was just about to throw away the flower in her head which was left with only a few petals but Fan Feng Yi quickly stopped her and said, "Don't be reckless!"

Zhi Shu was also quite frightened. She hurriedly said, "Once the Reaper Attraction Flower is plucked, it would be separated with a light touch and the fragrance would easily spread out. If you casually throw it on the ground, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Hua Xing felt even more wronged now. "I can't just keep it in my hand forever, can I?"

Knowing that these were things that could attract the Soul Reaper Bees, Hua Xing felt as if she was holding a handful of poisonous grass, wishing that she could immediately throw them far away.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Give them to me!"

He took the Reaper Attraction Flower from Hua Xing's hand and stored it into his spatial ring. Then he looked at Hua Xing again and said with a smile, "It's fine now."

The independent dimension within the Spatial Ring could block the smell from dissipating. Of course, there were many solutions and they could even burn it down. However, in Qin Feng's opinion, keeping it safe might be of some use in the future.

After a small surprise, everyone continued their journey.

The more time passed, the more poisonous beasts and demonic beasts they would encounter. They even encounter some Early Stage Heaven Ascension Realm demonic beasts.

It was a good thing that Qin Feng was there to help them. Qin Feng didn't kill that such beasts alone as he didn't want to expose his strength, he got rid of such beasts by fighting against them along with Fan Feng Yi and Zhi Shu.

They were already deep within the Demonic Mountain Forest, nearing the core area, and that unknown strange aura still affected Fan Feng Yi's perception. The further they went, the greater the impact it had on Fan Feng Yi's perception. And at the end, that unknown aura did more than just affect the perception. It even brought about an indescribable fear to everyone.

The deep and dark Demonic Mountain Forest made it harder and harder for them to see through.

Roughly four hours later, a spacious river was placed horizontally in front of them. It was a river through the woods, swift and cold. The river flowed from east to west, and the other side of the river was about fifty meters away.

"There might be Demonic Beasts lurking in the water. The three of you go in front, I'll cover the back." Qin Feng said after arriving near the river.

"En!"

Fan Feng Yi nodded her head. Following this, she walked forward with Zhi Shu on her left and Hua Xing on her right.

The three girls moved, flying up like butterflies, heading to the other side of the river.

Qin Feng also stood in the air and followed closely behind.

Under normal circumstances, it would have been very easy for them to cross such a river by flying at the height where the water beasts could not do anything to them.

However, this was a place where danger lurked in every corner of the Demonic Mountain Forest. The more one flew in the air, the easier it would be to become the target of the Demonic Beast. This was also the reason why they were floating at a very low altitude above the river.

The moment the four of them flashed into the middle of the river, accompanied by the splashing of water, an incomparably huge crocodile suddenly leaped up with a loud sound. It opened its mouth wide, wanting to bite towards them.

The three girls were shocked. They were about to make a move, but Qin Feng said with a deep voice, "Go."

The moment Qin Feng finished his sentence, he turned to the side and disappeared from where he stood with a flash of silver light. Then, he landed firmly on the head of the giant crocodile.

Then Qin Feng stomped his feet on the head of the giant crocodile and a powerful force fiercely pressed down on it.

"Thump!"

The head of the giant crocodile deeply sunk down in the water as blood continued to spurt out from its mouth and nose. The vicious aura of the giant crocodile was immediately suppressed and it died in an instant.

The giant crocodile returned to the depth of the river. The only difference from the previous situation was that it was now dead.

After killing the crocodile, the four of them continued to move forward. Along the way, many water-type demonic beasts attacked them but they were all dealt with by Qin Feng, Fan Feng Yi, and Zhi Shu.

After about five minutes, the three girls along with Qin Feng, landed on the other side of the river unharmed.

"There really are many  Demonic Beasts inside the Demonic Mountain Forest." Hua Xing whispered in low voice.

Qin Feng nodded and agreed with her. It was also the first time for him to meet with so many demonic beasts. Taking a deep breath, he looked at the river once before turning around and said, "Let's go!"

However, when they were about ten meters away from the river-bank, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from afar.

Everyone revealed an expression of vigilance.

"Boom!"

It was at this moment that an extremely violent and ferocious power suddenly surged over from the front. The terrifying destructive impact was just like the flood that had broken through the dam, vast and ferocious.
