Just as Qin Feng was pondering, Ling Ke was engaged in a difficult battle.
He wielded the heavy axe with tremendous force, each swing carrying immense power as he fiercely struck the enormous, ferocious-looking monster opposite him.
However, the battle had been going on for a long time, and despite his relentless attacks, Lingke's stamina was gradually being depleted without him realizing it.
His breathing became rapid and heavy, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his dusty clothes.
Each time he raised the giant axe, his arm trembled slightly, and his movements were no longer as nimble as they had been at the beginning.
The cunning beast seemed to sense that Lingke was running out of energy. A fierce glint flashed in its copper bell-like eyes. Taking advantage of a slight opening in Lingke's defenses, it seized the opportunity and launched another fierce attack.
With a powerful push from its hind legs, its massive body, like a small mountain, pounced towards Lingke, its right claw raised high, bringing a sharp gust of wind as it slammed down towards Lingke's head.
This claw strike was powerful and heavy, tearing the air with sharp, piercing sounds.
Lingke was exhausted and his reaction speed was much slower than before. Faced with this sudden attack, he tried to dodge but it was too late.
With a muffled thud, Lingke was slammed to the ground by the claw, his entire body flying a long distance like a kite with a broken string before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The giant axe in his hand was also knocked away by the enormous impact and landed far to the side.
Just as the monster was about to deliver a fatal blow to Lingke, Lingzhi reacted in time and quickly rushed forward to grab Lingke and dodge away.
Seeing this, Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to save Ling Ke and Ling Zhi.
Qin Feng took a deep breath, then his figure flashed, and he seemed to transform into a black lightning bolt, rushing towards the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.
In that instant, his figure left behind blurry afterimages in the air, as if he appeared in multiple locations at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, he was behind the monster.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Feng delivered a simple and brutal punch to the monster's back.
Because of Qin Feng's sudden appearance and his astonishing speed, the magical beast had no time to react.
Qin Feng's fist slammed heavily onto the monster's back like a meteor.
With a deafening roar, a powerful force erupted instantly, and the enormous body of the monster exploded into a cloud of blood mist as if it were made of paper under the impact of this force.
The blood mist spread out, appearing particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by this powerful force, emitting a low rumble.
The once majestic beast had vanished without a trace, leaving only bits of flesh and blood on the ground.
Qin Feng suddenly appeared and easily dealt with the monster.
This startled Lingzhi and Lingke. Their faces instantly turned ashen, their eyes wide with suspicion as they stared at Qin Feng as if he were a monster.
"Hehe!" Qin Feng, with a smile so kind it seemed like he could squeeze water out of a cone, quickly reassured them, "Don't be so tense, acting like you've seen a ghost. I don't have time to kill you!"
"Why did I save you? Actually, I just wanted to ask you about something."
At this point, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow playfully, then said with a grin, "However, I hope you can answer me honestly. If you dare to try anything funny, then I won't be so polite!"
Lingzhi and Lingke exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with hesitation. Their gazes seemed to be engaged in a silent exchange, as if they were weighing how to deal with the situation ahead.
Lingzhi subconsciously bit her lip, leaving a faint red mark on her pink lips.
Although she was filled with trepidation, she still mustered her courage and said, "What do you want to ask? As long as we know, we will tell you the truth."
Qin Feng's lips curled up slightly, and he nodded in satisfaction. His voice was deep and carried an undeniable authority: "Do you know the exact location of the World Tree?"
Upon hearing Qin Feng's question, Ling Ke's brows furrowed instantly, like a mountain about to collapse, and his face showed an extremely solemn expression.
He fell silent, his mind racing. After a moment, he slowly spoke, "The search for the fragments of the map was ordered by the clan elders. We don't know who is behind it."
"As for the World Tree, we have been searching for it since we entered the Primordial Chaos Realm, but we do not know its exact location!"
Qin Feng glanced at Ling Ke with a half-smile, then looked at Ling Zhi and asked, "Is what he said true?"
Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Ling Ke's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but ultimately dared not utter a word.
Even if he weren't seriously injured, Qin Feng could kill him more easily than crushing an ant!
Therefore, he naturally dared not speak at this time, lest he anger Qin Feng.
Faced with Qin Feng's question, Ling Zhi frowned slightly. She subconsciously looked at Ling Ke, but only lingered on his face for a moment before shifting her gaze to Qin Feng.
"To be honest, the World Tree seems to be located in the central region of the Primordial Chaos Realm!"
"It was the Holy Son who told me this, but I can't be sure if it's true or not!"
Lingzhi sighed helplessly and looked at Qin Feng pleadingly. "Ling Ke didn't mean to deceive you. I hope you can forgive him this time, since I answered truthfully!"
At this moment, Ling Ke's face was extremely gloomy. He did not expect that Ling Zhi would disregard his life and death and reveal the location of the World Tree.
To put it mildly, it was betrayal of him; to put it more bluntly, it was betrayal of the entire Spirit Clan.
Qin Feng's lips curled into a playful smile. He glanced at Ling Ke's gloomy face, then looked at Ling Zhi, "Considering your honesty, I'll let him off this time!"
"By the way, which direction should we take to reach the central area of the Primordial Chaos Realm?"
Lingzhi relaxed, then pointed to the left and said, "Keep going in this direction. At your speed, you should be able to get there in an hour or two!"
Qin Feng stared intently at Ling Zhi's pretty face for a long while before finally speaking. "Would you like to travel with us?"
Lingzhi was taken aback. After a while, she came to her senses and said nervously, "I...can I refuse?"
"After all, Lingke is seriously injured, and I must stay behind to protect him and heal him!"
