The Taoist Priest of the Supernatural World

Chapter 476 Bone-Inscribed Fruit
"It's about time. We should really go out and take a look. It might be quite lively outside right now."

After tidying up his clothes, Song Feng put on a complete, slightly wrinkled outfit underneath, then donned a black suit and leisurely made his way to the distant mountains under the cover of night.

Looking up at the sky, all I could see was a bright, clear moon.

Even at night, you can clearly see people and what is there when you look in all directions.

Just at this time.

While Song Feng was waiting, he saw several figures dressed in black running and leaping rapidly through the mountains and forests.

Brush brush!
In no time, the six people had all gathered together. At this time, they were still wearing masks, so it was impossible to tell what their identities were.

"Now that everyone is here, let's make the trip!"

Seeing that everyone present had gathered, Bodhi, who was holding an iron rod that looked like a golden cudgel, spoke up directly.

Upon hearing Bodhi's words, everyone present nodded in agreement and then quickly rushed towards the direction of the distant mist.

Its speed was so fast that it left behind afterimages.

If someone had seen them walking like that at that moment, they might have really thought it was a procession of mountain spirits.

the other side.

Ye Wuxia, already dressed and holding a long sword, waited quietly deep in the mountains.

Beside him, the deputy director of the investigation bureau, who often accompanied him, remained slightly silent.
Will they really arrive at this time?

Even this deputy director hesitated when he got to this point. Don't be fooled by the fact that some people casually claim to be worth millions or hundreds of millions.

Even those companies worth tens of billions probably can't come up with 600 million in working capital at once. If their investigation bureau really loses money this time, they will really have to take responsibility.

Ye Wuxia is irreplaceable, especially as a current special advisor to the Investigation Bureau.

If something goes wrong, she can't be used as a scapegoat.

The unlucky ones are obviously those who are unlucky.

Moreover, according to his estimation, these people are all like little superheroes, and even if they really break their promises, there's nothing he can do about it.

After all, in this day and age, the power of these people is simply too bizarre.

Unless bombarded with heavy artillery.

Otherwise, given their speed of movement alone, even modern firearms would have a hard time hitting them.

Just then, Ye Wuxia, who had been resting with her eyes closed and holding a long sword, suddenly opened her eyes, a divine light surging within them:

"...They've arrived!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up abruptly. There seemed to be a faint surge of energy emanating from her body, which even affected the signal of her earpiece.

Looking at Ye Wuxia's sudden sharpness, and then at the completely undetectable signals emanating from her, the important figure helplessly twitched the corner of his mouth:

"These days, if you don't reach the extraordinary level, ordinary people are practically cannon fodder. They not only possess extraordinary strength and speed, but they can even block signals. Doesn't cultivation follow any basic principles?"

They are superior to ordinary people in every aspect, so how can they possibly fight back?

Just then, several figures flashed past from the distant barren mountains and soon arrived beside Ye Wuxia.

At this moment, there was a surge of energy in each of them, although they couldn't perform advanced techniques like injuring someone from outside their body or using three feet of protective energy as described in martial arts novels.

However, it is quite simple to use the surging energy to shield signals and make it difficult for others to detect them.

That's the only advantage of the "divine travel" level.

There's a certain intuition in the universe, so I won't be spied on or followed by others at will.

"You are here!"

Looking at the six people in uniform in front of her, Ye Wuxia's tone was somewhat stiff, as if she was vaguely about to confront them.

Just at this time.

Just as some of the group were about to unleash their power to press down on him, Song Feng glanced in surprise into the distance:
"Let's have a few more people come out too."

Upon hearing Song Feng's words, the expressions of the people present changed slightly, and they looked towards the darkness in the distance.

Just as Song Feng finished speaking, Xi Huang suddenly turned his gaze to Ye Wuxia, a murderous aura emanating from him.
"An ambush? You're not genuinely cooperating!"

Seeing the murderous aura emanating from the Emperor Xi, and then looking at the six menacing figures opposite him, Ye Wuxia shook her head and then lightly clapped her hands:
"Gentlemen, let's all come out together!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a group of nine members of the Investigation Bureau, fully equipped and looking very imposing, walking out from the shadows in the distance.

Looking at the equipment on these nine people, and then at Ye Wuxia in front of him, the once murderous Xi Huang revealed a smile on his lips:
"Are you taking them in with you? Aren't you afraid they won't be able to get out?"

These people are the elite among the elite among ordinary people, and with this equipment, they are even capable of fighting a small battle.

But the fog was anything but ordinary.

What you need in there isn't equipment or anything like that, but your own senses. If you don't have the cultivation level of a divine traveler, you won't be able to get out once you go in.

Although they had tested the effectiveness of the bulletproof vests beforehand, they still maintained great respect for firearms.

They haven't reached the level of being invincible; if they were hit by a burst of bullets at close range from such a weapon, they wouldn't feel good either.

The current situation is that the six people are at a disadvantage compared to the Bureau of Investigation, but not a really big disadvantage.

The other side couldn't deal with the six of them, but the six of them possessed a power that the Bureau of Investigation itself did not have.

It's a complete system of checks and balances.

Glancing at the people in front of him, and then at the nine fully equipped elites behind him, Ye Wuxia's longsword surged with energy:
"Since I can bring them in, I can bring them out as well. As long as nothing goes wrong with you, you don't need to worry about anything."

"We've already discussed this beforehand. Everything will be distributed fairly once we're inside. Don't turn your back on us once we're in."

As she said this, Ye Wuxia glanced at Song Feng, who was hiding in the darkness, with some apprehension.

They were all kept very mysterious.

However, mystery is relative; without absolute power, no amount of mystery will be of any use.

Ye Wuxia enjoys absolute resources within the Investigation Bureau, and her progress in strength is naturally beyond that of ordinary people.

Of the six extraordinary individuals facing him, he was confident he could defeat the other five, or at the very least, hold his own. But he hesitated when facing Song Feng.

Because when everyone else was just an ordinary expert at a constant level, Song Feng had already achieved the Divine Travel skill.

Mysterious and terrifying.

The power that is truly revealed does not inspire fear, but the mystery hidden in the darkness does inspire trepidation.

"go!"

After glancing at the time and then at the sky, Ye Wuxia led the group of nine people directly toward the misty mountains in the distance.

Seeing that the guard around them seemed to have been relaxed, the group nodded to each other and then followed behind Ye Wuxia.

Entering the fog.

All I could see was fog in all directions, making it impossible to even have a basic sense of direction.

Just then, a claw suddenly emerged from the mist, aiming straight for Song Feng's heart:
"brush!"

Sensing the whistling wind, Song Feng's figure flashed, and then he threw a punch forward:
"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking suddenly rang out, and then you saw something that looked like a lizard or a crocodile, but with very sharp claws, and only three feet long, fall to the ground.

Seeing that there seemed to be some commotion at Song Feng's place, everyone present turned their attention to him.

"Taiyi, has something happened?"

Now that these people have come here, regardless of their respective identities outside, here they are all in the same boat.

If something unexpected happens inside, and the group doesn't work together, then there could be serious problems.

Hearing what the others said, and looking at the thing whose bones he had almost shattered with his punch, Song Feng's eyes revealed a hint of interest:
"This little thing looks like a mythical beast from ancient legends. Don't let its small size fool you; the force of its roar can rip a person's heart out. This place is something else."

Upon hearing Song Feng's words and seeing the strange little beast in front of them, the expressions of the group changed slightly.

Then he saw Hades holding an iron rod, glaring fiercely at Ye Wuxia, who was vaguely forming her own little circle in front of her:

"If you know anything, just say it now, or don't blame us for leaving you here all alone."

Looking at the menacing Hades, and at his enormous size, Ye Wuxia calmly gazed at the distant mist and said:
"The things inside this fog are just as Taiyi said. They seem to be ancient mythical beasts, and each of them possesses a mysterious power that is very incongruous with their bodies."

"If I hadn't been injured by the strange beasts inside, why do you think we would cooperate with you? Do you really think we're doing some kind of charity, sharing opportunities with you?"

Although they had already guessed that the situation inside was unusual, the expressions of the others still changed slightly upon hearing Ye Wuxia's words.

Although Ye Wuxia is now a member of the Investigation Bureau, she is by no means incompetent.

Although she started late in the early stages, with the resources provided by the Investigation Bureau, none of them were confident they could take her down.

Even Ye Wuxia was severely injured and had to ask them for help, which is quite impressive.

Sure enough, shortly after they finished speaking, they saw many afterimages flashing through the darkness. For a moment, it was as if they had entered an animal world, with all sorts of strange and exotic beasts rushing towards them.

hoo hoo hoo!
As he watched the afterimages of various strange beasts, large and small, Song Feng's aura surged, as if he were a tiger king in the mountains, capable of shattering the strange beasts in front of him into pieces with a mere flick of his wrist.

It was fast, its movements were sharp, and its figure flashed with an extraordinary and terrifying charm, which was enough to hold its own in one direction.

The others were also quite capable in their own way.

Hades's massive iron rod was incredibly powerful, each strike producing a cracking sound as if bones were breaking. Some objects that hit it seemed to strike refined iron, as if Hades had mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

It kept making a clanging sound.

The golden cudgel in Bodhi's hand moved up and down, with the momentum to sweep away thousands of troops. It was more of a clever and ruthless move. Although it was called Bodhi, it looked more like Sun Wukong who made havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Taiyin, Xihuang, and the others also displayed their own methods. Each of them had their own characteristics, but without exception, they were all decisive and ruthless.

Blood stained the land red.

At some point, the surrounding fog dissipated, and the many strange and exotic beasts that had attacked them vanished without a trace.

Looking at the nine well-equipped elites from the Investigation Bureau beside Ye Wuxia now, they seemed to be in a rather sorry state.

However, there is no immediate danger to his life.

Looking at the valley and the strange patterns carved into its surface, the expressions of the accomplished cultivators present became serious.
“These strange patterns are like ancient characters, and I feel that the energy in my body can flow because of these ancient characters.”

Looking at the strange symbols engraved on the wall, the group of people tried to memorize them.

They can replenish themselves with Qi, but more often it's just Qi flowing through their bodies, making their strength, speed, and so on very powerful.

In short, it's about using great strength to throw bricks.

Even so, they are like little superheroes in today's society.

If these strange runes on them could truly allow them to mobilize their energy, not only would their power undergo a tremendous change, but they might even be able to ride the wind and cast spells, just like in myths and legends.

The group of people were all extraordinary individuals. They made notes on the strange runes drawn on the cliff as they walked into the valley.

When these few people reached the deepest part of the valley, they saw only a peculiar ancient vine winding its way through the forest.

The ancient vine was enormous, almost enveloping the entire valley, and a few fruits could even be vaguely seen glistening on it.

"nice one!!"

The moment they saw the fruit, a longing welled up in all of them—a longing that was fundamental to their very being.

In an instant, the team, which had seemed peaceful just moments before, vanished in a flurry of afterimages, each grabbing at the bright red fruit.

Seeing what the others were doing, Ye Wuxia's expression turned extremely ugly when she grabbed a fruit:
"...You broke your promise!"

Among Ye Wuxia's team, he was the only one who moved incredibly fast, leaving the others no time to react.

As a result, Song Feng and the others each picked a fruit, while Ye Wuxia's group only had one.

The ancient vine bears very few fruits.

Whether it was luck or something else, there were exactly seven, no more and no less. It was precisely because of this discovery that Ye Wuxia's expression turned extremely ugly.
