The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 179 Regrouping

At the statue of the maze in the main hall, several people looked at the miserable state of Chu Hao and Wu Xunjie, and they were a little bit unbelievable. Chu Hao's left hand was gone, and Wu Xunjie's thigh also had a big hole. The two of them supported each other and returned to the crowd, saying self-deprecatingly: "It seems that we two are not good enough in learning. Everyone else is fine, but we two are in such a miserable state."

Chu Xuanji asked with concern: "How did you two get into such a mess?" Wu Xunjie said: "You are lucky to be able to come back alive." The two sat down around the fire. Chu Hao said: "We were almost here, but we ran into the last wave of puppets. We were already very tired. But the way back was even longer, so we had to bite the bullet and go through this last wave. This is the result." Tang Tongdao said: "Let's not talk about it for now. Come, eat two pieces of meat. It will be good for your injuries."

Chu Hao smiled bitterly and said, "I have to wait until I get out to find some elixir for my broken arm. It won't heal now." As he spoke, he stretched out his remaining right hand, picked up the beast meat and started eating it. Wu Xunjie did the same. They smelled the aroma of meat when they came in. Now after eating it, they felt that their previously exhausted bodies suddenly seemed to be reborn, and their vitality slowly returned. The hole on Wu Xunjie's thigh was visibly growing flesh and recovering. Chu Hao's broken arm wound was also slowly healing, but no new arm had grown.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and asked at the same time, "Monster meat?" Chu Hao continued, "This stuff is not easy to get. It looks like it is at least the fourth level of body refinement monster meat. I only ate it once thirty years ago and haven't eaten it for a long time." His eyes swept over everyone and finally stopped at Pan Chengfeng, thanking him, "Daoyou, you are really generous. This high-level monster meat is not cheap, and the key is that it is not easy to buy. Thank you." Wu Xunjie also bowed to Pan Chengfeng to thank him. Pan Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "It's just a little meat. You don't have to be polite. Everyone eat the meat and take a rest. We will discuss our gains later."

Everyone was meditating to recover their strength, and Pan Chengfeng continued to eat meat. He hadn't eaten properly for many days, and his stomach had been growling with hunger. Of the thousands of pounds of beast meat, the few people only ate more than a hundred pounds, and the rest went into Pan Chengfeng's stomach. Master Wu, who was standing by, was so angry that his eyes twitched, thinking to himself: "Are all body cultivators so greedy? They just ate thousands of pounds of meat like this?"

Seeing Master Wu's surprise, Pan Chengfeng laughed and said, "Master Wu, do you think that body cultivators eat too much? Hahaha, when I first started practicing body cultivation, I was worried that I couldn't feed myself. But after I became stronger, I wasn't worried anymore. The Red Mountains are so big that even if I eat more, I can't finish it." Master Wu was curious. He was a cultivator and had heard a lot about the Red Mountains. But he hadn't tried it yet, so he asked, "I heard that the Red Mountains are full of monsters, and there are countless high-level monsters. Is it true?"

Pan Chengfeng threw the last piece of meat into his mouth, clapped his hands and said, "The Red Mountain Range is so big, it's too exaggerated to be everywhere, but there are indeed a lot of monsters. The deeper you go, the more monsters there are, and the higher the level." Master Wu asked, "I heard that the women of the Fox Clan are all as beautiful as fairies. Have you ever seen one?"

Pan Chengfeng looked Master Wu up and down. He didn't expect that the master would ask this question. Master Wu was a little embarrassed. When he was young, he always heard about the fox girls, but he had never seen them. This time he had a chance, so of course he had to ask. Unfortunately, Pan Chengfeng's answer disappointed him. Pan Chengfeng said regretfully: "Master Wu, I have also heard that the fox girls are all stunningly beautiful. But think about it, do I dare to approach a demon who can transform into a human form? In fact, I also want to see how beautiful she is, but I don't have the strength." After saying that, he gave Master Wu a look that all men understand.

Master Wu laughed and said, "I was confused. Those monsters are at least at the seventh or eighth level of body refining. It is definitely beyond our imagination..." Pan Chengfeng interrupted, "Master Wu, what you said is not right. People should have dreams! I plan to catch a transformed fox to warm my bed, preferably a nine-tailed fox!" After that, Pan Chengfeng and Master Wu both laughed.

Everyone had rested for a while, and when they heard the two people laughing, they all opened their eyes. Chu Xuanji asked with a smile: "What are you two talking about? You can tell us, and we can have fun together~" Pan Chengfeng glanced at Chu Xuanji and said: "You won't understand even if I tell you, I will tell you when you understand." Master Wu also laughed: "Yes, Pavilion Master Chu is devoted to cultivation, how can he understand?" After that, Pan Chengfeng and Master Wu laughed again. Although Chu Xuanji didn't know what they were talking about, he felt that he was despised. Chu Xuanji said unhappily: "Forget it, everyone has rested well, right? Come and discuss what to do next."

Several people sat together again and recounted their experiences. After they finished, Chu Xuanji concluded: "So, everyone's experience is similar, but Brother Chu Hao and Friend Wu Dao, you seem to be a little slower, so you ran into the last wave of puppets again." Chu Xuanji looked at Master Wu and asked: "Master Wu, can you confirm that the repair formation can repair the puppets every two days?" Master Wu stroked his goatee and said slowly: "According to the current situation, it should be repaired every two days." Chu Xuanji said: "That is to say, after the puppet is destroyed, it will reappear after 24 hours. If this cycle continues, it will be difficult to deal with. We will be exhausted to death." Pan Chengfeng said: "What's the matter, everyone just needs to be faster. I guess there should be a place like a small room in the back, where everyone can recover their strength. It's just that if we go deeper, it will take longer to come back here to gather and discuss."

Everyone fell into deep thought, and finally Chu Xuanji spoke: "We still have to continue to look for the exit like this, otherwise there is no other way. Instead of wasting time here, we might as well give it a try." Chu Hao said: "My martial arts friend and I can't be on the same road anymore. Your cultivation is higher than ours, so your speed is faster than ours. If we encounter such a situation again, we probably won't be able to cope with it." After saying that, he pointed at his broken arm. Chu Xuanji himself felt uncomfortable, and thought for a while and said: "Then how about this, Brother Chu and I go together and continue to explore my road. Martial arts friend and Brother Tang go together and continue to explore Brother Tang's road. Brother will still go with Master Wu to explore your original road. If you two don't find the exit in the end, we can all explore that road together. What do you think of this arrangement?"

Everyone felt that this arrangement was much safer than before, and they all had no objection. Chu Xuanji said, "Brother, give everyone some beast meat. That thing can restore physical strength and heal wounds. Now everyone's storage rings can't be used, so we can only use beast meat luxuriously." After saying this, he swallowed his saliva. Pan Chengfeng stared at Chu Xuanji, seriously suspecting that he wanted to take advantage of him. But what Chu Xuanji said made sense. Everyone's storage rings couldn't be used, and now only Heiwu could freely enter and exit the spirit beast bag, so he patted the spirit beast bag. After a while, Heiwu didn't respond. Pan Chengfeng's face darkened, and he patted him again and said, "Don't play dead! It's just some meat. I have plenty. I'll give you more when I go out!" Heiwu got out of the spirit beast bag unwillingly and meowed. Pan Chengfeng said, "200 kilograms, kilograms per person is about right." Heiwu seemed to have heard something incredible and meowed a few times. Pan Chengfeng said, "Look at how stingy you are. Hurry up, I'll give you double the amount when I go out! Besides, this is originally mine, you don't have to feel sorry for it!"

Several people were speechless listening to the conversation between the man and the cat. Tang Tong smiled and said, "Brother Chengfeng's pet is really smart, and it's so special that it can actually get in and out of the spirit beast bag by itself." Heiwu began to move the meat out, a few pieces at a time. Pan Chengfeng shouted, "Hurry up!" After scolding Heiwu, he turned around and said to everyone, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. If I don't scold this guy for a day, he will tear the tiles off the roof. I don't know if it's special or not, but it's very difficult to serve. If he eats too much spirit beast pills, he has to exchange them for beast meat."

Chu Xuanji said with some envy: "If you don't want to raise it, let me raise it. I have enough money~" Pan Chengfeng laughed and said: "Brother, you are joking. After signing the contract with it, we will be inseparable." Just kidding, how could Pan Chengfeng give up Heiwu? It has swallowed so many resources and hasn't earned it back for himself. How could he let it go! I will never let it go in this life. Wait for it to work for Pan Chengfeng for the rest of its life~

Each of the four people got 50 kilograms of beast meat, and they casually carried it in their hands and set off. When Chu Xuanji was about to go in, Pan Chengfeng pulled Chu Xuanji and said something in a gibberish. Now everyone's magic power was suppressed, and they couldn't hear what the two were saying. Chu Xuanji kept nodding, and Pan Chengfeng kept talking.

Chu Xuanji said with a serious expression: "I will pay attention. You should also be careful and take good care of Master Wu. He is not good at fighting." Pan Chengfeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master Wu will be fine. You should pay attention to your safety. If you can't do it, don't force it. Return to the safe house. If any group doesn't come back after ten days, I will look for you."

Pan Chengfeng looked at the other groups entering the passage, turned around and said, "Master Wu, we need to speed up, let's go." Pan Chengfeng took the lead, and Master Wu hurriedly followed. Now Master Wu would not leave Pan Chengfeng's side for a moment. He had realized that this guy was more reliable than those of them.
