367 Finding Fenghen
The Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder both sensed danger from the mountain wall. This premonition was exactly the same as Qiongqi's reaction when he mentioned the branches of the World Tree.
There were too many things going on today, and before everyone had time to think about this, Ning Yao's words reminded them.
The three elders looked at each other, and the fifth elder stroked his chin and said, "That's a possibility. Senior, why don't you go and take a look?"
Qiongqi felt uncomfortable under his eager eyes: "Why don't you go yourself?"
The Sixth Elder whispered, "We value our lives."
"My life is not my life?" Qiongqi retorted unhappily. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the mountain wall and he looked away fearfully.
To be honest, he also felt that the thing behind the cliff was most likely related to the Devourer, but he didn't want to get involved in the mess.
"I will remove the restrictions here, you can go now." Qiongqi was about to take action when he heard Zhaoshi ask, "Who set the restrictions here?"
Qiongqi knew all the cultivators in the demon world who were in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, so he tried to sense the power of confinement here.
This restriction is very hidden, and the power that sets up the restriction is also difficult to detect.
Even though Qiongqi has now broken the seal, it still took him a lot of effort to find the breath of the person who imprisoned him from the extreme seclusion.
Recognizing who this aura belonged to, his eyes widened: "Why is it him?"
"Who is it?" Jiang Xin looked around, thinking that someone new had arrived, but no one noticed.
She asked, and Qiongqi didn't dare not answer, and uttered two words with a little trepidation: "Fenghen."
Everyone was surprised: "Are you saying that the confinement here was left by Senior Feng Hen?"
Qiongqi nodded and looked involuntarily at the mountain wall that frightened the fifth and sixth elders.
This seemingly ordinary mountain wall blocks all the aura behind it. One has to get closer to investigate before feeling the catastrophic fear.
If the two elders hadn't reminded him, Qiongqi wouldn't have noticed the problem at first.
Jiang Xin didn't like this stalemate, so she jumped off Xiao Mi's back and ran towards the mountain wall: "I'll go take a look."
"Senior Sister, wait for me." Jiang Xiao followed closely behind. The two tiny figures slipped out of the range illuminated by the campfire like fish and disappeared into the darkness.
"Slow down." Ning Yao hurriedly chased after them with a torch in hand.
The darkness here can block the monks' vision, and they can only see things by relying on the light of fire.
When Ning Yao caught up with the two little guys, Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao had already stopped and were staring at the darkness ahead without blinking.
The darkness here was even thicker than in the cave where they had just lit a bonfire. Ning Yao could clearly sense that there was some huge creature hiding in the darkness.
He subconsciously turned around and saw that the others were chasing after him.
Behind them, the bonfire they had lit seemed so far away that it seemed to be on the horizon, with only a faint light flickering in the endless darkness.
Before they knew it, they had passed through the mountain wall and came behind it.
What a big bug! γ
Jiang Xinruan's soft exclamation suddenly sounded in Ning Yao's ears. He couldn't see anything and subconsciously wanted to raise the torch to check the situation ahead, but he didn't dare to do so because he remembered the two elders' fear of this place.
Jiang Xiao noticed that he waved the torch, and thought that Ning Yao wanted to see the situation here clearly, so he took the initiative to say: "Big Brother, I will help you."
He rubbed his little hands, and red flames overflowed between his hands. When Jiang Xiao blew on them, they turned into flowing fire and flew around, bringing warm light.
Clusters of flowing light floated in the air like flowers, illuminating the entire space. Everyone could finally see the situation ahead clearly.
It was a huge translucent cocoon outlined by countless unknown thin lines, and a huge insect was wrapped inside the cocoon.
The insect's body was broken, its antennae and tail were broken, as if it had just experienced a violent fight.
The left wing was completely torn off, revealing a huge tear. Only half of the right wing was left, and the translucent wing leaf was covered with scars, like a piece of rag.
The body was even more battered, with bite marks all over it. Three of the six ventral legs were broken, and the remaining three were not intact, but they were tightly holding something.
It curled up in its cocoon, lifeless.
Recognizing what kind of insect it was, Ana Shen was shocked: βIs this a mayfly?β
Such a huge mayfly makes everyone think of the same name - Fenghen.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Qiongqi.
Qiongqi stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.
He was just wondering why when he first recalled the location of the branches of the World Tree, thoughts of caves and tombs flashed through his mind, but these were not present in his recovered memories.
It was not until this moment that he realized that this feeling came from the mayfly stone.
That was the memory that Feng Hen resonated into the Mayfly Stone before his death.
Qiongqi never thought that one day he would see Feng Hen again, and in this way.
The thing that frightened him and the two elders came from what Feng Hen was holding in his arms.
It was a dry branch, only three feet long, and looked inconspicuous next to Fenghen's huge mayfly body.
But there are scattered green leaves growing on the dead branch, indicating that the dead branch is not completely withered.
Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao were the first to enter this place, dispelling the oppressive feeling brought by the dead branches, so that everyone did not feel unbearable fear.
At this moment, the huge remains of the mayfly in front of them shocked them even more.
This space has no sky above and no bottom below, and the body almost runs through the entire space.
As everyone fell silent, the Second Elder took a deep breath and whispered, "It seems that the branch of the World Tree that Senior Feng Hen risked his life to protect is right here."
"Yes, it's mine." Jiang Xin responded happily, and she raised her little feet and wanted to walk forward, but Ning Yao pulled her back: "Little Junior Sister, don't act rashly."
"Why? Qiongqi promised to give it to me." Jiang Xin just wanted to get back what he deserved.
Qiongqi looked away awkwardly and uneasily, not daring to respond.
Ning Yao looked at him with an indescribable look, and said helplessly: "This thing belongs to Senior Feng Hen, not Senior Qiongqi. Senior Qiongqi's promise is invalid."
Jiang Xin was a good and reasonable child, and she immediately said, "Then I'll ask Feng Hen." After that, she turned around and shouted to Chong Jian, "Senior Feng Hen, can you give me the branch of the World Tree in your arms? Qiongqi promised to give it to me!"
She shouted loudly, and her childish voice was penetrating but not harsh.
Qiongqi was afraid that she would attract the Devourer, so he subconsciously wanted to escape.
Before he could make any move, fluctuations of spiritual energy suddenly came from the huge cocoon that was as dead as a coffin.
The broken antennae trembled slightly, and the dead mayfly opened its eyes, and countless ginger hearts were reflected in the compound eyes of the abyss.
