Chapter 71: Robbery
After teaching Ye Tong a lesson, she became more obedient and dared not speak recklessly in front of Ye Fei.
Even the expression on Ye Fei's face was as if she had seen a ghost.
Ye Minghui took out a hemostatic pill and gave it to Ye Tong, and the wounds on her face began to heal slightly.
The five people quickly left the post station and continued on their way.
According to Xie Qingui, cicada stones are usually found under soft soil near rivers.
The Ice Crystal Fruit is found in the central region of the Firefly Forest and is one of the ingredients for making the Marrow Cleansing Pill; it is a rare herb.
Coincidentally, there are many streams and rivers in the central area of the Forest of Fireflies.
“The central region is where the spiritual energy is most abundant in the entire forest, and it is home to many spirit beasts. If you encounter a high-level spirit beast, it will be quite troublesome,” Xie Qingui said.
Ye Fei understood the general situation: "We were lucky enough to find both Ice Crystal Fruit and Golden Cicada Stone in the central region. Next, we'll head towards the central region."
Xie Qingui nodded: "Okay, I know a shortcut to the central region."
After walking for a while, Ye Fei noticed that a few little tails were following behind her.
"Your Excellency Dongfang, are we being followed?" Xie Qingui also sensed something, frowned, and asked in a low voice.
Ye Fei closed her eyes and secretly gathered wood-type spiritual energy, using the nearby plants to sense the unfamiliar auras around her. After a short while, she nodded: "There are at least ten people within about five meters of us."
After saying that, she stopped and said coldly, "Come out, all of you."
Dozens of burly men emerged from behind nearby trees, each carrying a weapon.
Ye Minghui pulled Ye Tong behind him, staring at them expressionlessly: "Who are you people?!"
The leading man, carrying a large, gleaming sword on his shoulder, grinned maliciously and pointed at Ye Fei: "That short man in black—yes, I'm talking to you! You just sold weapons at the inn's shop, made quite a bit of money, didn't you? We're a bit short on cash lately, how about..."
As he spoke, he turned his greedy gaze to Ye Minghui and Ye Tong, licking his lips: "And you two! Your clothes are so expensive, why don't you leave your valuables behind too!"
Ye Tong secretly glanced at Ye Fei, cursing inwardly, "It's all Dongfang's fault!"
If he hadn't insisted on selling her spirit staff, these hooligans wouldn't have followed!
"Alright, we don't want to kill anyone today. If you know what's good for you, leave your resources and money behind! As long as you do as we say, we'll leave once we get what we want!" The man's face was menacing.
Ye Fei strode to the front of the line, her voice low but unable to conceal its coldness: "What if I say no?"
The man snorted coldly, suddenly took the broadsword off his shoulder, and slammed it into the ground with a loud thud: "Then we'll just have to kill first and then rob!"
The burly men around them also drew their weapons, preparing to attack Ye Fei and the others.
Xie Qingui gritted his teeth: "Your Excellency Dongfang, there are too many people on the other side, perhaps we should..."
"No need, these small fry are my practice targets." Ye Fei interrupted Xie Qin Gui indifferently. She raised her hand, and green leaves surrounded her, instantly manifesting light green wood-elemental spiritual energy.
Xie Qin Gui took a step back. It turned out that Lord Dongfang was a wood-type spirit master, which was why he was able to control leaves as weapons.
The man stared at Ye Fei's delicate hands, a lewd glint in his eyes: "So it's a little sister! We haven't had any fun in ages, perfect..."
