Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Snake Eyes “Big Brother Yefeng, let’s leave this place. But it seems there’s something above our heads?” Xiong Yu looked around and asked curiously.
Qin Yefeng looked up. A patch of green, flat grassland floated in the air above the ground. In its very center stood a hundred-meter-tall, extremely ancient tree, entirely black.
“This land harbors demonic beasts. I’ve already sensed Demonic Qi from it. Let’s deal with this demonic beast, and then we’ll leave,” Qin Yefeng decided instantly.
Immediately after, Qin Yefeng’s entire body erupted with Golden-Yellow Magical Energy. Employing the Soaring Cloud Movement Technique, he leaped onto the floating island of land in the sky.
During his flight, Qin Yefeng noticed that the tree bark was dark black, and even its leaves were ink-black. However, the tree’s roots were pink, which looked very beautiful, but the Demonic Qi was unusually fierce.
Qin Yefeng and Xiong Yu exchanged glances, then resolutely flew onto the open ground. As soon as they landed, the moment Qin Yefeng touched the grass, everything around them changed.
The originally dry land now sprouted small green grasses. As Qin Yefeng and Xiong Yu walked on it, they only felt a pair of eyes watching them.
Yet, Qin Yefeng and Xiong Yu couldn’t sense who the demonic beast on this floating island was, because on the small island there was only one tree and faint grasses.
The grass changed as Qin Yefeng and Xiong Yu continued to move. In an instant, it became thicker and longer, shooting towards them like sharp arrows.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”
Suddenly, countless Grass Arrows, accompanied by a tearing sound through the air, carrying infinite penetrative power, stabbed towards Qin Yefeng and Xiong Yu’s bodies.
Qin Yefeng erupted with Golden Spiritual Power, condensing a Spiritual Power Shield around his body to defend against the continuous barrage of Grass Arrows.
Of course, Qin Yefeng also enveloped Xiong Yu within it, because Qin Yefeng sensed that although the Spiritual Power here was abundant, it didn’t seem easy to absorb. Therefore, he aimed to minimize Xiong Yu’s Spiritual Power consumption.
The golden shield was continuously struck by the Grass Arrows, emitting a metallic tearing sound, but they couldn’t pierce Qin Yefeng’s golden shield at all.
At this moment, the color of the grass on the ground changed. Some grass turned red. On the outside of the Grass Arrows, a layer of Red Metallic Plating appeared.
With this plating, the speed of the Grass Arrows shooting towards Qin Yefeng became even faster. It was as if they surpassed the speed of sound. They tore through the air with a piercing shriek, as if capable of piercing through anything.
The red Grass Arrows quickly struck and vibrated Qin Yefeng’s Spiritual Power Shield. Qin Yefeng now made his Spiritual Power Shield smaller, using his Blood Shadow Battle Saber to chop at the incoming Grass Arrows.
Xiong Yu also erupted with Earthy Yellow Spiritual Power from his body. His battle axe chopped down at the Grass Arrows shooting from the air, directly bending half of them, barely managing to block the red Grass Arrows’ assault.
And behind them, even more red Grass Arrows were rapidly flying towards them.
Qin Yefeng unleashed his Burning Heaven Dragon Flame. Golden Spiritual Power in the air surrounded Dark Golden Fireballs, furiously burning the incoming Grass Arrows. Any red Grass Arrow that was burned by the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame would instantly turn to ash and fall.
Qin Yefeng actually didn’t want to waste Spiritual Power using the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame, but the power of these red Grass Arrows was too formidable. The Spiritual Power on his golden Spiritual Power Shield was being continuously scattered by the relentless barrage, almost dissipating!
As soon as Qin Yefeng’s Burning Heaven Dragon Flame appeared, the grass on the floating island stopped changing.
Qin Yefeng and Xiong Yu looked at the things on the island.
Here stood a Netherfruit Tree. This tree wasn’t very tall, only about ten zhang high. But despite not having many leaves, it surprisingly bore dozens of fruits glowing with a bloody light.
“Big Brother Yefeng, did you feel the energy within this fruit tree?” Xiong Yu gazed greedily at the Netherfruit Tree, constantly rubbing his palms together and continuously swallowing saliva.
“There is indeed energy within this Netherfruit Tree. But you must understand that we came to this island, yet we haven’t found which demonic beast attacked us. If you go to pick the fruits, you might be caught off guard by a demonic beast’s attack. It’s better not to fall into a trap,” Qin Yefeng advised Xiong Yu to temporarily abandon the idea of climbing the tree.
“Then, Big Brother Yefeng, do you have a good method for me to eat these delicious fruits?” Xiong Yu still gazed greedily at the Netherfruit Tree, anxiously asked Qin Yefeng.
“This island isn’t very big. As long as we kill the demonic beast on this island, then we can safely eat the fruits from this tree,” Qin Yefeng said after thinking for a moment.
“I don’t want to wait anymore, I want to go directly and pick the fruits. Won’t that attract the demonic beast out?” Xiong Yu said, then walked towards the Netherfruit Tree. When Xiong Yu was still fifty meters away from the Netherfruit Tree, Qin Yefeng forcefully pulled Xiong Yu back, preventing him from getting too close to the tree. His sixth sense told Qin Yefeng that there was definitely something wrong with this Netherfruit Tree.
At this moment, an eerie female voice came from within the tree. It didn’t sound like it came from a demonic beast.
“How truly uninteresting! To make me reveal myself now… there’s no surprise left.” The voice still echoed around the Demonic Tree. The black Demonic Tree’s true form gradually revealed its original appearance.
Both Qin Yefeng and Xiong Yu couldn’t help but feel a shock in their hearts.
They saw a Silver Great Snake, as thick as a thigh, revealing ten meters of its length, slowly emerging from the Tree Demon’s trunk. This Silver Great Snake coiled itself around the tree trunk.
Its Snake Head rose up. A pair of cold, silver-glowing snake eyes were scanning the two lives fifty meters away.
Those snake eyes were dazzlingly silver!
Qin Yefeng couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. He didn’t want to meet the gaze of this Silver Great Snake.
Another voice came from within the Demonic Tree, “Woman, you saw human blood, and you didn’t even greet me. It’s been a long time since I absorbed the body of someone with such powerful Magical Energy. Are you looking for death?”
This was clearly a man’s voice. But from within the Tree Demon’s trunk, a Golden Great Snake slowly emerged. It was similar in size to the Silver Great Snake.
“Alright, alright, whoever snatches the prey first gets it. Isn’t that fair?” the Silver Great Snake said with a strange laugh.
Looking at this pair of bizarre golden and silver great snakes, Xiong Yu also fearfully glanced at Qin Yefeng.
Qin Yefeng whispered an explanation to Xiong Yu, “These snakes are the guardian snakes of the Netherfruit Tree. It seems they signed some kind of agreement with the Tree Demon. They can be called Serpent Spirits. It was once written like this in Ancient Ruins.”
