Chapter 815 - 790: Holding One’s Breath
Chen Feng’s group quickened their pace.
The death of the legendary hunter would soon be discovered by his companions. Before that happened, he had to find the opponent’s base as quickly as possible.
"That invisibility is truly bizarre. Is there really no way to break that ability?" Chen Feng frowned in thought. "The Blazing Demons can’t come out yet; they’re my trump card against Mara. An exceptional prey will escape at the fastest speed when it smells danger, and once it senses danger nearby, it’s very likely to hide immediately."
Chen Feng’s mind was racing, but he still galloped forward without stopping.
The jungle land, endless and covered in harsh mountains and waters, with a hot and humid climate, hid countless monsters within. As they traversed, they encountered numerous strange creatures, including some golden-tier beasts. However, under the hunter’s shadow, those monsters didn’t dare to show themselves. Instead, they huddled in their lairs like turtles, unwilling to expose their whereabouts.
All of this was observed by Chen Feng.
This land harbors hidden talents and extraordinary figures, but the true rulers were probably the hunters led by Mara. The opponent’s invisibility abilities were outstanding, and ordinary people couldn’t detect them unless they were of a higher tier or an Evil God.
Under this terrifying condition, should there be two legendary hunters, even Chen Feng would likely face a crisis.
"Higher tier or an Evil God?" Chen Feng repeated his earlier words, when he seemed to suddenly recall something and spread his hand open, revealing an iron box.
Chen Feng appeared somewhat excited.
Indeed, while ordinary people couldn’t track the opponent’s movements, he had a Divine Eye of an Evil God in his possession.
Vicna’s Dharma Eye!
This was the treasure he acquired from Elwin!
"You guys stay here, don’t advance any further with me," Chen Feng commanded the two behind him, not in a hurry to open the iron box.
This mission was of great importance, intended to hunt down Mara!
Even if it was just an avatar of the opponent descending on this land, it was far more terrifying than the average legend. With Lu Wei and the others’ strength, going deeper would inevitably lead to certain death.
"Hide yourselves, I’ll contact you later."
"Yes!"
The two also knew their strengths were insignificant. Furthermore, having seen the terrifying stature of the legendary hunter, they harbored a slight fear toward those monsters. Thus, after following Chen Feng’s order, they hid nearby, awaiting Chen Feng’s further summons.
After leaving the two behind, Chen Feng doubled his speed. After covering some distance, he placed his hand on the iron box and then gently opened it.
At the moment he opened the iron box, a chaotic scene appeared before Chen Feng’s eyes, mingled with many indescribable visions.
It seemed like a projector, revealing Vicna’s life experiences to him.
Naturally, it didn’t contain much valuable information, mostly depicting Vicna’s killings or cruel acts. This bizarre scene reminded Chen Feng of the Polluters.
Those evil gods scattered some items worldwide, waiting for explorers to discover them. When someone acquired the items, they would subtly influence others’ mental worlds, turning them into twisted monsters!
"Could it be that this eye was intentionally left by Vicna for the outside world?"
Thinking this, it indeed sent chills down his spine.
However, this possibility was extremely unlikely. After all, an eyeball is considered an important part of the body, and even if Vicna were insane, he wouldn’t gouge out his own eyeball just to corrupt other intelligent beings’ souls.
But despite this, Chen Feng still couldn’t take it lightly. Just like last time, a single oversight could plunge him into a chaotic illusion, making it impossible to distinguish reality from fantasy. Chen Feng could potentially fall into a state of eternal slumber, with even his soul controlled by Vicna, becoming a puppet on strings.
If there were any other options, Chen Feng truly didn’t want to resort to the opponent’s power, but he had no other choice at this moment.
Clenching his teeth, Chen Feng reached out and grasped Vicna’s Dharma Eye. Instantly, he felt everything around him transform, with trees turning into clusters of green energy, rocks appearing black, and beneath the ground, dense clusters of colors existed.
X-ray vision?
Color discernment?
Vicna’s Dharma Eye bestowed Chen Feng with precise vision probing capabilities in a bizarre manner. However, in that instant, waves of pain echoed in his mind.
"Hoo... hoo..." Chen Feng adjusted his breathing. Utilizing Vicna’s Dharma Eye put his spiritual power in a state of rapid depletion.
The only consolation was that he managed to suppress the eye’s power with his immense spiritual power. As long as his spiritual power didn’t run out, he wouldn’t be corrupted by it.
Becoming a Polluter?
That would be something more agonizing than death!
Chen Feng didn’t use Vicna’s Dharma Eye for long. After understanding its ability, he placed the Dharma Eye back into the iron box.
From previous attempts, Chen Feng could use the eye for fifteen minutes before his spiritual power was exhausted. The crucial aspect was to cease using it before running out of spiritual power!
After resting for a while, until his spiritual power fully recovered, Chen Feng resumed his journey. The jungle was even larger than he had imagined.
Suddenly, the air carried a strong scent of blood.
Chen Feng’s pupils constricted upon confirming this. The scent of blood was so strong that it was as if a river of blood lay ahead, pungent to an extreme.
Where did so much blood come from?
Where were those humans from the city?
Various thoughts quickly flashed through his mind. Chen Feng slowly exhaled, suppressing the turbulent thoughts before moving forward again.
In the gloomy jungle, Chen Feng resembled a lost lamb, while a colossal monster stood in his path, mouth agape, devouring all lifeforms.
If he wasn’t mistaken, Mara’s sacrificial ritual had begun.
He had arrived a step too late.
But now was not the time for random thoughts. Chen Feng had to advance to find out what had unfolded here.
The scent of blood grew stronger, and before Chen Feng lay a swath of felled trees, numbering in the thousands. The tree trunks had smooth surfaces, not chopped down but sliced cleanly in two with a single blow. However, what truly caught Chen Feng’s gaze were the bodies laid on the ground.
There were countless corpses, both human and beast, numbering in the tens of thousands, lying alongside each other in a gruesome scene. Even Chen Feng couldn’t help but hold his breath!
