Seeing that Wuxia was already tempted by the spiritual herbs in the herb field, she was about to step into it.
Xiao Feng grabbed Wuxia and pulled her behind him. Then, he sent a stream of spiritual energy with a sobering effect into Wuxia's mind.
The spiritual energy that Xiao Feng injected into her body dispelled the haze that had been shrouding Wuxia's consciousness.
It instantly snapped her out of her delusional state.
After regaining consciousness, she felt just like Xiao Feng had felt, her blood running cold all over her body.
Countless cold sweats poured out from behind her.
She looked at Xiao Feng in front of her, her body trembling, her eyes filled with an overwhelming fear.
Zhou Ming, on the other hand, was slightly better than Wu Xia.
He also really wanted to obtain the medicinal herbs in the herb field.
But this is a place he found together with Xiao Feng, and he still needs Xiao Feng's help to deal with the guardian monsters guarding the medicine field.
Zhou Ming hadn't initially noticed anything wrong.
Until he thought of protecting the monster.
He suddenly realized that this vast medicinal field was completely devoid of any demon guards or guardian beasts.
Although Zhou Ming's consciousness was somewhat chaotic, this unusual situation still made him realize something was amiss.
Meanwhile, Xiao Feng had already resolved Wu Xia's problem and directly injected another wisp of spiritual energy with a sobering effect into Zhou Ming's body.
Zhou Ming can also see through the fog on his own.
But now, with Xiao Feng's help, he realized the problem with the entire medicinal field much faster.
Seeing the lingering fear in Zhou Ming's eyes, Xiao Feng warned, "You've all been bewitched by this medicinal field. Once you dare to step into it, there's nothing but death waiting for you."
"Concentrate your spiritual power on your eyes and take a good look at what's in this herb field."
Xiao Feng had already seen it when he was rescuing the two people.
All I can say is that it's a good thing they didn't go in.
Otherwise, even Xiao Feng himself didn't know if he could successfully leave from there.
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, the other two also focused their spiritual energy on their eyes.
When they looked again at the lush, hundred-acre field of medicinal herbs in front of them, they were shocked to find...
In this medicinal field, there were only a few scattered spiritual herbs, while the rest were mostly the remains of demonic beasts.
Layer upon layer, densely packed, covering this hundred-acre medicinal herb field.
Wuxia was startled when she saw the true face of the medicine field. She trembled and took two steps back, feeling extremely terrified.
"How could this be? How could there be so many monster corpses here? What on earth happened?!"
Xiao Feng and Zhou Ming were both human, so their reaction to so many demon beast corpses wasn't as strong as Wuxia's.
However, as Wuxia's master, Xiao Feng could sense the fear and retreat in her soul that Wuxia conveyed through the contract.
Xiao Feng said softly, "If demonic beasts can cultivate intelligence, then spiritual herbs naturally can too."
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's voice, the two who were filled with fear and anxiety both turned to look at him.
Xiao Feng then spoke up: "If these spiritual herbs survive for a long time, they will develop their own intelligence. Once they develop intelligence, they will try to devour other spiritual herbs that have not yet developed intelligence in order to survive."
"In this way, it's like the survival of the fittest among monsters; you can think of them as monsters that look like plants."
"Because they cannot move, they can only use their roots or branches to hunt the nearest medicinal herbs."
After hearing Xiao Feng's explanation, Wu Xia and Zhou Ming's expressions softened somewhat.
Wuxia couldn't help but ask, "Then why are there so many monster skeletons here? Could it be that these spiritual herbs have evolved to the point where they can hunt monsters?"
Xiao Feng stroked his chin as he observed the situation inside the herb field.
"I think the accident involving these demonic beasts was most likely because they accidentally entered the Demon Emperor's Tomb while in the secret realm."
"Some special spiritual herbs have a fatal attraction to demonic beasts, and those herbs deliberately release an aura to attract them."
"Once they enter the herb field, we'll kill them all and turn them into nutrients for the field! After all, the blood of demonic beasts also contains the power they need."
After hearing what Xiao Feng said, Wuxia and Zhou Ming nodded in agreement.
But the three of them soon realized something: if any of these spiritual herbs had truly gained sentience, then its level would have surpassed all that they had known before.
"Moreover, the fact that it can hunt so many demonic beasts is enough to prove that this elixir is very clever and powerful."
Zhou Ming had just finished speaking when
The next moment, Xiao Feng felt the ground beneath their feet tremble violently.
Numerous branches sprouted from the ground, attempting to wrap around the three men's ankles and bind them.
Xiao Feng glanced at Zhou Ming with a speechless expression.
If he hadn't just made that jinx, saying that the elixir was very clever and powerful, revealing that they might already know the other party's true identity.
They wouldn't be targeted by this sentient elixir so quickly.
Now that Lingyao had discovered the three of them, she could sense the immense power contained within their bodies.
If I can kill them and turn them into fertilizer, my strength will increase further, and I will be able to leave this damned place sooner or later.
However, these three people are also quite strong.
Realizing that the branches were deliberately targeting them, the three of them drew their weapons.
He quickly cut the flower branches that were trying to entwine into several pieces.
But for some reason, no matter how Xiao Feng and the others tried to cut the branches, new branches would always grow back, which Xiao Feng found rather strange.
But Xiao Feng couldn't care less about that after that. He originally wanted to release some spiritual power to see if he could find the location of the medicinal herb through the branch.
But before Xiao Feng could make a move, most of the demonic beasts that had already turned into skeletons suddenly crawled up from the medicinal field.
They seemed to come back to life and charged towards the three of them.
Xiao Feng and his companions had no choice but to kill these skeletal monsters.
Xiao Feng thought that was the end of it, but soon, he was completely dumbfounded when he saw the monsters that had reappeared in front of him.
"Are they kidding us?! How can we possibly kill them all? And then they even have that resurrection thing after we've killed them all?"
As Xiao Feng watched the skeletonized demon guards reappear and charge towards them, his mental state was on the verge of collapse.
This time, it was Xiao Feng who took action again, quickly killing all the demonic beasts. Then, Xiao Feng quietly waited for the demonic beasts to revive for the third time.
