Chapter 281 - 269 Yin Nether Grass (3/3)
Zhou Heng and his two female companions walked through the gloomy forest. Ying Mengfan had no idea of the dangers that lurked, only that she felt secure clinging onto Zhou Heng, while Feng Lianqing, the foodie, seemed carefree and oblivious.
Helpless, Zhou Heng had no choice but to stay alert. He couldn’t rely on either of the two women by his side.
In the Death Forest, danger lurked at every step. A poisonous insect could be hiding under a fallen leaf, ready to spray venom potent enough to corrode even a Nascent Soul Realm expert, mandating extreme caution with every step taken.
Yet amidst peril lay the promise of rewards. From the extreme yin spawned yang, and thus the Nine Suns Vitality Grass, capable of extending one’s life by a millennium, was born here. Besides that, there were other spirit grasses of slightly lower grades, not as wondrous as the Nine Suns Vitality Grass, but precious all the same.
It was such finds that attracted Spirit Sea Realm experts to come here to gather herbs, eventually leading to the discovery of the Nine Suns Vitality Grass.
It was unknown how many powers would enter this place. A thousand years of life, even a Divine Infant Realm Old Ancestor would be tempted, for with it one could ensure a millennium of prosperity for their family and sect!
Some powers were in decline, the older generation withering away and the new generation lacking someone to carry the mantle. For them, the Nine Suns Vitality Grass could mend that gap.
After seven days of travel, Zhou Heng’s group had not encountered a single spirit grass. Although they weren’t searching deliberately, such terrible luck left Zhou Heng and Feng Lianqing quite dissatisfied.
"It’s all your fault, with that unlucky star looming over you. Any spirit grass would hide itself the moment it sees you!" Feng Lianqing blamed Zhou Heng’s appearance for their misfortune.
"You brat, believe it or not, I’ll shut your mouth for you?" Zhou Heng threatened.
