Chapter 379: Breaking Through the Encirclement


Lin Yifan's magnanimity had increased Lin Yanping's approval of him. Such a man was truly rare.

During their conversation, the Man-Eating Flowers of the flower sea had begun to attack.

Watching this scene, Lin Yifan knitted his brows and reminded, "Everyone be careful! The Man-Eating Flowers have started to attack us."

Startled by this alarming warning, Lin Yanping and the others quickly looked around and realized that the previously motionless Man-Eating Flowers were indeed surrounding them.

At that moment, they all drew their weapons, ready to fight fiercely.

"It's really spirited—as if it can move! No wonder this place has such high-quality medicinal herbs like thousand-year Blood Ginseng," Li Xiaofeng exclaimed.

This terrifying scene was something he had never seen before, and it was quite eye-opening.

If it were four ordinary people in this situation, they would surely be in despair. They might kill dozens, or even hundreds of Man-Eating Flowers, but could they eliminate hundreds of them? The answer was no.

Wave after wave of Man-Eating Flowers surged toward them, leaving them only one path: death.

"When we start fighting, remember not to cut the flowers. Just cut the stems," Lin Yifan instructed.

From his experiments earlier, he had found that the Man-Eating Flowers would only completely die if their stems were severed.

"Okay!" Lin Yanping and the others nodded in response.

The next moment, they charged out fighting.

"Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!"

With the continuous swinging of their sharp swords, Man-Eating Flowers fell one after another; Lin Yifan and his companions fought their way out of the encirclement.

As they moved forward, they stepped on numerous bones; these were probably the remains of animals or humans who had dared to enter the flower sea.

The injured Man-Eating Flowers leaked a liquid, crimson like the fresh blood of an animal. Lin Yifan and his companions felt like they were killing animals, which was somewhat cruel.

However, to survive, even if they were real animals, they would still kill without hesitation.

Group after group of Man-Eating Flowers fell, and yet more groups surged toward them. Lin Yifan and his companions truly fought until their hands were sore.

The Man-Eating Flowers, having some spiritual nature, only knew to pounce when they detected flesh, regardless of the kind; they had no fear of death like humans.

Fortunately, severing the stems of these Man-Eating Flowers didn't require much cultivation power; thus, Lin Yifan and his companions felt it was manageable.

After slaughtering their way through, about fifteen minutes later, Lin Yifan and his companions finally broke through the heavy encirclement of Man-Eating Flowers, leaving the flower sea behind.

The Man-Eating Flowers that followed sensed they were about to exit their habitat and thus stopped their pursuit.

They still needed this flower sea, they couldn't leave it.

Looking at a group of Man-Eating Flowers crowded at the edge of the flower sea, Lin Yifan and his companions, besides panting, also felt a bit terrified.

These Man-Eating Flowers were truly inexhaustible!

"It's too terrifying! What else could be lurking in this primeval forest?" Li Xiaofeng asked, still frightened.

"Who knows? We just have to be extra careful," Li Dafeng responded.

"Such beautiful flowers, yet so deadly—it's terrifying just to think about it," Lin Yanping also said, still frightened.

Fortunately, Lin Yifan had intervened just now, otherwise her delicate hands would have been ruined.

After resting, they bypassed the beautiful sea of flowers and ventured deeper.

Another ten days had passed and they were still without any progress.

Searching for a thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng the size of a pencil in a primitive forest spanning millions of square kilometers was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack. Although they had narrowed the search area, there were still vast places to search; moreover, they couldn't be sure that they hadn't gone over the same areas again. In such a vast forest, it was really easy to get lost.

"Ah! When will it ever end?" Li Xiaofeng sighed again.

At that moment, all four of them were sitting atop a large tree enjoying the cool shade. The ground was damp and hot, and they could hardly bear it anymore.

"Cheer up, Brother Xiaofeng, one day we will find the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng," Lin Yifan encouraged.

Morale was low now, and what was needed most was encouragement.

"Brother Lin, where does this confidence come from?" Li Xiaofeng asked.

"Haven't you heard? Nothing is impossible to a willing heart; as long as you do your utmost, you will definitely find it," Lin Yifan responded.

"Brother Lin, I'm already trying my hardest, right? Yet I still can't find it. What does that tell you?" Li Xiaofeng challenged.

"If this is what you call your utmost effort, then I have nothing more to say," Lin Yifan replied.

Perfectly healthy, just a bit tired—if that counts as utmost effort, then I chuckle.

"Brother Lin, what do you mean by that? Are you questioning my effort?" Li Xiaofeng's face suddenly changed, and he asked angrily.

"Are you sure you're giving it your all?" Lin Yifan asked fearlessly.

"I'm sure!" Li Xiaofeng asserted firmly.

"Blindly boasting without shame," Lin Yifan said, full of contempt.

Even he, who had reached the Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm, wouldn't dare claim he was trying his hardest; yet Li Xiaofeng still had the nerve to say so, which was simply unbelievable.

"You…" Stung by Lin Yifan's ruthless retort, Li Xiaofeng became infuriated and was about to strike Lin Yifan.

However, just then, Lin Yanping came over to mediate.

"Shh! Stop arguing, you two. There seems to be sounds of fighting coming from afar."

Hearing her words, Lin Yifan and Li Xiaofeng both quelled their anger, then pricked up their ears and listened intently; indeed, they did hear sounds of fighting.

"Who is fighting?" Lin Yifan wondered.

In the face of sudden events, the collective interest was greater than personal interests; hence, he and Li Xiaofeng quickly calmed down.

"I think it might be those Cultivation Sects looking for the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, or perhaps people from the reclusive Clans of the Capital City," Li Xiaofeng responded.

This time, nearly the entire Cultivation World had heard about the appearance of the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng; thus, those Cultivation Sects in need of the Blood Ginseng, or the reclusive Clans, would surely send people to search for it, just as the Ma Family from the Capital City whom they had encountered twenty-some days ago.

"Could it be that they have found the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng and are now fighting over it?" Lin Yifan boldly speculated.

Upon hearing this, Li Dafeng and the others were immediately energized and then said, "Very likely!"

When two groups fight, it is either for revenge or to vie for treasures. In a primitive forest, it is unlikely that two groups who don't know each other would clash without reason; the only explanation would be over a treasure. However, each Cultivation Sect or reclusive Clan had some friction in private to some extent, so they were also unsure if the two fighting groups had any prior enmity.
