The summoned monster was Xu Feng's summoned creature, which could share vision. After being led by the servant to a row of low thatched huts, it randomly selected one and walked in.

After entering the thatched hut, Xu Feng discovered that these thatched huts looked inconspicuous from the outside, but there was a different world inside the hut. Inside the thatched hut, there was actually a black crystal stone that was more than one person tall. The crystal stone constantly exuded a black aura. As soon as the summoner entered the house, he immediately ran to the black crystal stone, raised his head and kept absorbing the black aura emanating from the crystal stone into his body, with a happy and comfortable look on his face.

"This is..." Xu Feng frowned slightly, controlled the summoning of the weirdness, and moved closer to the black crystal. However, at this moment, a wave of energy like water waves suddenly appeared around the black crystal, preventing the summoning of the weirdness from approaching. In other words, it is okay to absorb the weird power emitted by the crystal here, but it is not okay to take advantage of the crystal.

However, at this time, Xu Feng also checked the properties of this crystal by summoning a strange vision.

[Weird Crystal: Contains abundant strange power. Absorbing the strange power in the strange crystal can improve the strength of strange cultivation. In the strange world, the strange crystal can be used as currency for transactions. ]

"Strange crystal? Isn't this similar to the spirit stones in the world of immortal cultivation?" Xu Feng thought to himself.

You know, Xu Feng now has a spirit stone mine, but it is still in the gestation stage. It can be mined, but it is time-consuming and laborious, and only some low-level spirit stones can be mined. If the gestation time can be longer, the spirit stone ore mother rooted in the spirit vein will be able to produce more and more high-quality spirit stones. If it can be nurtured for more than a thousand years, this spirit stone vein will even become a large vein, producing high-quality or even top-quality spirit stones.

The spirit stone contains rich spiritual power, which is a kind of energy without attributes. No matter what kind of attribute techniques the monks practice, they can absorb the spiritual power in the spirit stone and transform it into the energy they need without any worries.

Just like Xu Feng, when he was practicing "The Eternal Devouring Art", if he could use spirit stones to practice, his practice efficiency would definitely increase exponentially.

When Xu Feng saw the properties of the strange crystal, his eyes couldn't help but stare at the word "strange world".

"I didn't expect that there really is a world that is completely weird..." Xu Feng said in his heart.

But then he thought, if he let it go, the level 5 promotion secret realm he was in would be invaded by weirdness sooner or later. At that time, wouldn't this secret world become the next weird world? At this moment, Xu Feng suddenly found that there were two humans running towards him in the cave.

At this time, Xu Feng was pretending to be confused by the weirdness. He was lying on his back at the entrance of the cave with a stupid look. After the two men took a look at Xu Feng, a cold look appeared on their faces. One of them held his head and neck, and the other held his legs, and carried Xu Feng into the cave.

After entering the cave, the air became increasingly turbid, and the smell of sweat, feces and urine became stronger and more disgusting.

"Hurry up and look to see if you have anything to eat with you!"

"Look at this guy, he's well dressed, but why is he naked? His pockets are empty..."

The two men were rummaging through Xu Feng's pockets and muttering, seeming very dissatisfied.

The human tributes that had just been thrown into the cave had not yet recovered from their strange confusion, so it was easiest to attack them at this time. Even if they woke up, they would not remember what had happened during this period.

But what the two men didn't expect was that when they were rummaging through Xu Feng's pockets, Xu Feng suddenly threw two punches at them, hitting them in the chest and abdomen. Xu Feng's strength attribute at this time had exceeded 100 points. For ordinary people, he was completely a superman.

If these two punches were delivered with full strength, they could easily kill the two men. However, killing them now would attract strange attention outside the cave and cause unnecessary trouble.

Even though Xu Feng had already restrained his strength, such a heavy blow was not something that two ordinary people could withstand. The two men's eyes bulged out, their faces were distorted, they bent over, covered their stomachs, and made retching sounds from their mouths. They instantly lost the ability to move.

Then, Xu Feng grabbed the two men's hair, pulled their heads, and slammed them hard against the hard wall of the cave. Compared with his fists, the damage caused to them by the rock wall of the cave might be less.

Bang, bang~ After two muffled sounds, the two men's eyes rolled back and they fainted.

After seeing this scene, the remaining sober people in the cave couldn't help but gasp and shrank back at the same time. They knew that this time a ruthless man had come and they must not provoke him.

Xu Feng covered his nose and walked around in the cave. The cave became more and more spacious as he went deeper. There were many people lying in all directions. Xu Feng looked around and did not find anyone in Taoist robes. He frowned.

Logically speaking, Yuan Yangzi, like him, is a cultivator and the favorite tribute of the strange sacrifice. Since he is here, Yuan Yangzi should be here as well.

Xu Feng found a place and sat down. With a thought, he began to share the vision of summoning the weird thing. He found that it was crawling in front of the weird crystal, constantly absorbing the weird power. Apart from that, it was too lazy to move, so Xu Feng retracted his gaze.

"If Yuan Yangzi was also captured, it must have happened at least three days ago. In that case, let's ask other people in the cave to see if they know Yuan Yangzi's whereabouts." Xu Feng said to himself.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng touched a middle-aged man next to him and asked in a low voice: "Brother, how many days have you been here?"

The man next to him glanced at Xu Feng indifferently. Although he was a little afraid of him, he showed an appearance that he didn't want to provoke him or pay attention to him. He moved his butt to the side twice and didn't say anything.

Xu Feng smiled, casually took out a bottle of water from the space package, and started to gulp down the water. After drinking half of the bottle of water in one breath, he took out a piece of compressed dry food and slowly started to bite it.

The man next to him opened his eyes wide when he saw Xu Feng drinking water. When he saw Xu Feng take out a piece of compressed dry food, his eyes suddenly lit up and he kept swallowing.

Xu Feng glanced at him sideways and laughed softly, "Do you want to eat? If you do, answer a few questions for me. If I'm satisfied, I'll give you a piece, how about that?"

Compressed dry food is just emergency food, and few people would eat it normally. But in this cave, it is a delicacy.

The man showed a hesitant look on his face. Xu Feng sneered and said, "You are not the only one in this cave. The same will happen if I ask other people."

After saying that, Xu Feng pretended to stand up, and the middle-aged man quickly reached out to stop Xu Feng.

"Okay, okay, as long as there's food, I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"

Xu Feng nodded, but did not directly ask about the whereabouts of Taoist Yuan Yangzi. Instead, he asked casually, "Brother, what's your name, and what do you do?"

The man's Adam's apple twitched, and he quickly said, "Don't bother, my last name is Liu, and I run a car repair shop next to Zhuang Village! I originally received a job for a car that broke down on the road at night, but before I got there, I encountered something strange, and came here in a daze."

Xu Feng nodded and said, "It seems that this place is weird. Don't you guys have food? Why are you all so hungry and have no strength?"

"Bah! We only get one meal a day here, which is just some rotten vegetable leaves and fat mixed together and cooked into a pot of porridge. It's even worse than pig food. Anyway, as long as we don't starve to death, it's fine. For those weirdos, sooner or later, we are just a meal!"

Xu Feng sighed, thinking that it was about time. He took out a piece of compressed biscuit, handed it to the man and said, "I am also unlucky. I was spotted by a weirdo while walking at night. I originally wanted to go to Chunyang Palace to worship the gods, but I heard that the Taoist priest Yuan Yangzi of Chunyang Palace had entered Tushan. I didn't think much about it and planned to go to Tushan to look for Taoist priest Chunyangzi. Unexpectedly, I didn't find the Taoist priest, but encountered a weirdo..."

The car repair boss next to Xu Feng, whose surname was Liu, saw the compressed dry food handed to him, his eyes suddenly lit up, he hurriedly grasped it in his hand, took a big bite, chewed it hard a few times, and swallowed it down voraciously, even licking the crumbs that fell on his hands carefully with his tongue.

Although he rolled his eyes because of choking, his face showed a satisfied and comfortable expression.

After recovering from the shock, Boss Liu asked casually, "Master Yuan Yangzi, I know that my auto repair shop is not far from Chunyang Palace. I've been there to burn incense before..."

"Has he also been captured here by the weird? I have been staying in this cave and have not seen Taoist Yuan Yangzi being captured!"

Xu Feng's heart sank. He was about to ask if there were other places to hold human tributes. At this moment, an old man with a wrinkled face who looked to be in his seventies stared at the compressed dry food in Xu Feng's hand, which he had already taken a bite of. He swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice: "Give me a piece of compressed dry food and the remaining half bottle of water, and I will tell you where Taoist Yuan Yangzi is!"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Xu Feng's eyes lit up and he nodded, then casually threw the remaining half bottle of water and a bite of compressed dry food in his hand to the old man.

"Here you go. I hope you won't lie to me. Otherwise..."

As he said this, Xu Feng punched the rock wall nearby. With a "bang", a deep hole was punched out on the hard rock wall. His fist was harder than steel.

The old man ignored Xu Feng's actions, and didn't mind Xu Feng taking a bite of his compressed dry food. He swallowed it all in no time, then opened the bottle of mineral water and gulped it down.

The old man let out a long breath only after he drank the last drop of water in the bottle. He glanced at Xu Feng and whispered, "What you are looking for is a Taoist priest who is in his forties, wearing a Taoist robe, with three long beards, and looks like an immortal, right?"

Although Xu Feng had never seen what Yuan Yangzi looked like, he heard the old man's description and thought that he should be a Taoist priest. He thought that it was very unlikely that he was any other Taoist priest except Yuan Yangzi, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."

The old man nodded and said, "The Taoist priest has some skills, but he was seriously injured. After entering Hujia Village, he has been unconscious. Those weird creatures seem to value him very much and don't want him to die, so they brought him into the Hu family mansion, probably to heal his injuries..."

Xu Feng nodded, feeling a little relieved. At this time, there were still seventeen or eighteen hours left before the mission was completed. Now he and Taoist Yuan Yangzi were in the same place, so there was more than enough time to complete the mission.

Therefore, Xu Feng was not in a hurry and began to close his eyes and rest.

There must be something even more bizarre going on in the Hu family's mansion. If Xu Feng rushes in now, not only will he not be able to see Yuan Yangzi, but he will also be in great danger.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng contacted the summoned weird again and asked it to go out to inquire about the situation. Originally, the summoned weird was constantly devouring the weird power emitted by the weird crystal and was unwilling to go out, but under Xu Feng's forced control, it still reluctantly got up from the ground and left the thatched hut.

Soon, Xu Feng controlled the summoning of the weirdness and learned from another weirdness that the sacrificial ceremony would be held tonight. At that time, all tributes would be sacrificed to the weirdness gate, and the weirdness from the weird world behind the weirdness gate would be parasitic on the tributes.

Therefore, as long as the sacrificial ceremony was held in the evening, Xu Feng should be able to meet Taoist Yuan Yangzi, so he was not in a hurry. He asked the summoning monster to return to the thatched hut, and he stayed quietly in the cave waiting.

…

On the other side, members of the King's Team have arrived at the foot of Tushan. Just as they were scattered around asking about the whereabouts of Taoist Yuan Yangzi, a blue beam of light suddenly lit up in the depths of Tushan and shot straight into the sky. All the apostles who entered the secret realm received a message at the same time.

[There are three hours left to find the key figure Yuan Yangzi. The system detects that Yuan Yangzi is in an extremely dangerous environment. The main task of everyone has changed! It becomes: Save Yuan Yangzi! This task is the final task of the main line. After completing it, you can pass the secret realm! The system has now marked Yuan Yangzi's location. After that, every hour, Yuan Yangzi's location will be re-marked. Each marking time lasts for 30 seconds! ]

"The main quest has changed?" The Bone Demon was shocked, but then a look of joy appeared on his face.

Asking them to search for Yuan Yangzi in Tushan is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but now the main task has changed from searching to rescuing, and the rescue target has also been marked, so the task has returned to the rhythm they are familiar with.

"Everyone gather together, Hong, send out the drone to record that location, we'll be there immediately!" the Bone Demon ordered loudly.

Many people who came out of Chunyang Palace before were actually following closely behind the Team of the Dead. After all, only the Team of the Dead knew the whereabouts of Chunyangzi. Now that the main mission has changed, it is a good thing for them. At least they don’t have to worry that the Team of the Dead will suddenly turn around to deal with them.

At the same time, Xu Feng, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, also received a system prompt, but the content was different from that of others.

[The system detects that the key figure Yuan Yangzi is in danger and is expected to die in three hours. You must find him before he dies and start the next round of the task, otherwise the task will be considered a failure! ]

"What, there are only three hours to complete the task?" Xu Feng stared at the change in the task in amazement. It was shortened from the original seventeen or eighteen hours to three hours. He couldn't help but curse in his heart and began to prepare quickly.
