"Let's go!"
Zhou Feng looked at Li Rong and felt that she still had some energy left.
He continued to lead the way, showing no signs of stopping to rest.
During this period, many accidents had happened, such as demonic beast attacks and some traps.
Zhou Feng resolved them all one by one, relying on his passive skills.
Sometimes, he knew there was a trap ahead and would just walk straight ahead to save time.
After all, he could recover after exiting battle mode.
The word 'exaggerated' carried a whole new meaning for Li Rong now.
Zhou Feng's performance could be described as 'exaggerated'. He was simply a human shield that blocked all the unfavorable factors outside.
Li Rong only needed to follow obediently from behind. She did not need to do anything.
They forced their way out of the originally dense jungle because of him.
Initially, Li Rong wanted to converse with him, but in the end, she swallowed her words back to her throat. She did not know what to say.
They did not seem to have anything in common.
Not long after Zhou Feng violently opened the path, they arrived at the baleful well!
Just as Zhou Feng approached the baleful well, its violent baleful aura gathered around him and gave him the feeling as if his skin was being torn apart.
Surprisingly, it helped him stimulate his physical body, while it made it easier to cultivate the Human Emperor Scripture, which was challenging to advance.
Zhou Feng's physical body was strong, so this mere baleful aura was naturally nothing to him.
However, Li Rong felt uncomfortable and could only circulate her Spiritual Qi to protect herself.
Li Rong saw his excited expression and kindly reminded him, "Be careful! A baleful beast is guarding this place!"
This was not a good place. The so-called baleful beast was condensed from the Malevolent Earth Qi, and no one knew what it looked like.
This was because the baleful beast itself did not have a fixed image. Its image could change at any time.
"Roar!"
Just as Li Rong finished speaking, a strange baby-like cry resounded.
This strange cry made the two people present have goosebumps.
A human-shaped monster that was about two meters tall pounced on Li Rong.
This monster had green lizard-like skin, and it had wings that looked like sarcomas on its back. Its face was a bloody mess, and it gave people a disgusting feeling.
"Ah!"
Li Rong panicked instantly as the baleful beast pounced on her.
This was too sudden. The moment the baleful beast appeared, it directly targeted Li Rong.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Feng's reaction was swift, and his entire body crashed against the baleful beast.
A muffled sound echoed as the powerful bodies collided. It was as if Mars collided with Earth.
Zhou Feng relied on all sorts of passive skills to endure the terrifying impact.
On the other hand, a portion of the baleful beast's body dissipated, turning into baleful aura and dispersing.
Traces of blood flowed out of Zhou Feng's seven orifices.
Both parties contended in the most primitive form of hand-to-hand combat. They did not make a sound, nor did they measure each other.
They fought head-on!
By the time Li Rong reacted, Zhou Feng looked extremely miserable. He had all sorts of wounds with fresh blood oozing out of them, and his clothes were torn apart.
The baleful beast was at least in the Purple Mansion realm, and its body was robust. Every attack carried a hint of Malevolent Earth Qi and corroded Zhou Feng's body.
However, the baleful beast's attacks were only powerful in the beginning. Later on, Zhou Feng adapted to this type of attack.
This was because his latest passive skill had come into play.
Upon reaching the passive Adaptive Shell's maximum stacking effect, the baleful beast's damage was reduced by 25%. After all, this baleful beast could only use one type of attack.
The passive Adaptive Shell was simply the baleful beast's bane.
"Spirit-Cleansing Art!"
After waiting for a while, Li Rong realized she should assist Zhou Feng.
With that, a stream of pure Spiritual Qi formed a line and was connected to Zhou Feng's physical body.
A warm feeling washed over Zhou Feng's entire body, and his wounds began to heal.
The Spirit-Cleansing Art was the Li Clan's secret art. It could turn one's own Spiritual Qi into a line and connect it to a companion, assisting them in battle.
Li Rong knew that given her strength she would be a burden after entering the mystic realm. Therefore, she had especially cultivated this art to assist Zhou Feng.
'This is…'
When Zhou Feng felt that pure Spiritual Qi, his entire person felt refreshed. It was as if he had received a buff and was able to break through his limits.
The baleful beast on the other side also felt his change and instantly turned its attention to Li Rong.
Zhou Feng shouted urgently, "Be careful!"
The sarcoma-like wings on the baleful beast's back were detached in an instant and turned into bone spikes that flew toward Li Rong.
The bone spikes flew at breakneck speed, their attack angle especially tricky.
This beast had been hiding its strength!
Now that it realized Li Rong was a threat, it immediately stopped concealing its power.
Zhou Feng's hurried shout stunned Li Rong, and she did not know what to do at all. After all, she had no combat experience.
Fortunately, Zhou Feng's reaction was quick. His body flashed and blocked in front of Li Rong.
A few bone spikes pierced through his body.
"I… I…"
Looking at the fearsome bone spikes on Zhou Feng's back, Li Rong almost cried.
Her eyes reddened instantly.
Without waiting for Li Rong to cry, Zhou Feng said with a cold face, "Concentrate! Use your power to support me! If you're still like this, I can only take you away first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bone spikes on his back were squeezed out.
The huge wounds began to heal, but his bright red blood was still flowing out.
After hearing what he said, Li Rong finally calmed down. Her face started to spasm without saying anything, just like when Zhou Feng was fighting.
Then, she used all her strength to cast the Spirit-Cleansing Art!
Zhou Feng took out the Purple Jade Bell to cover Li Rong and then began to burn his Blood Qi.
The more he fought, the braver he became. He punched down and created a storm, suppressing the baleful beast.
The baleful beast was also very smart and continued targeting Li Rong.
Moreover, it used the same tactic as Zhou Feng, exchanging injuries for injuries. In any case, it wanted to get rid of Li Rong first.
"Dodge!
"Stand behind me!
"Get lost!"
Of course, Zhou Feng would not allow such a thing to happen and ordered Li Rong with a cold face.
Li Rong's adaptability was beyond his imagination as she followed his orders meticulously. She did not even care about her image.
In times of danger, her focus was off the charts. Her head and body were covered in dirt.
Even when she was scratched by the baleful beast's sharp claws, Li Rong still held back her words. Her tears were already rolling around in her eyes, but she still managed to hold them back.
It was precisely because of the sudden addition of such support that Zhou Feng burst forth with strength that surpassed his limits.
The blood in his entire body began to boil and condense into golden threads.
