Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. Beside him, the King of Xutian Ginseng, unusual for him, remained silent.
He was well-aware of his own situation, but he had not expected the Old Ancestor to look at the boy in front of him with such expectation…
Could he really do it?
This thought echoed in the mind of the King of Xutian Ginseng.
On Ye Feng’s side, he didn’t immediately respond to the Old Ancestor of Xutian Ginseng. This familiar scene seemed to have just taken place in the Beast God Mountain not long ago.
However, the difference was that back then, he was asked to act by the Beast God, but now, it was the Xutian Ginseng who was asking.
He could guess that these guys must have run into some urgent problem, otherwise why would they bring him to the base of Xutian Ginseng so casually.
He didn’t buy it.
But the question was, weren’t there supposed to be one hundred and eight wisdom races inside this Eternal Secret Realm?
Why didn’t they ask them for help, instead asking him, an outsider?
What if he were from the Eternal Clan? Wouldn’t that be like inviting a wolf into the house?
These questions flashed through Ye Feng’s mind, one by one. Seeing Ye Feng’s hesitation, the voice of the Old Ancestor of Xutian Ginseng sounded again.
“You do not understand, young friend, we Xutian Ginseng are considered divine medicine in the eyes of those wisdom races, significantly more so than other types.”
With this explanation from the other party, Ye Feng immediately understood. “I want to see what I’m supposed to do before I consider whether to agree.”
Hearing Ye Feng’s words, the eyes of the Old Ancestor of Xutian Ginseng gleamed. He then led Ye Feng and the two imperial beasts to the deepest part of the underground city.
The bottom of the city was probably billions of kilometers away from the city itself.
If the Eternal Secret Realm had a core, Ye Feng thought, that would probably be it.
When he saw the vast brown ocean, Ye Feng was completely stunned.
Especially as this brown ocean was connected from below to the underground city above, appearing like an energy source, supplying the city above.
“This is Mother Earth’s resources, the source we rely on for survival.”
“Originally, our Xutian Ginseng Clan could have become a wisdom race, only relying on the resources of Mother Earth and the underground city.”
The words of the Old Ancestor of Xutian Ginseng turned the face of the King of Xutian Ginseng red, but apparently Ye Feng didn’t notice it.
“However, who would’ve thought that Mother Earth’s resources would run into an issue? It is about to become exhausted. If we lose these resources, our underground city will not obtain power anymore.”
“In fact, not only would the growth of our Xutian Ginseng Clan be affected, the protective formations of the underground city will directly break down, exposing the city.”
“Moreover, for countless epochs, it is due to Mother Earth’s resources that the underground city has been constantly moving within the Eternal Secret realm without being discovered by other races.”
“If we lose these resources, the movement of the underground city will stop, and at that time, we will be lambs waiting to be slaughtered.”
“So, I implore you, young friend, to see if you can help us.”
“If you can heal Mother Earth’s resources, our Xutian Ginseng Clan will surely give you a substantial reward.”
“Even if you cannot heal it, we will not forget your help and will give you a substantial reward anyway!”
The Old Ancestor of Xutian Ginseng was treating a dead horse like a live horse doctor.
Ye Feng at this point, could see that, although the Mother Earth’s resources were vast, they were visibly shrinking at a steady pace.
At this rate, perhaps in no longer than a year and a half, Mother Earth’s resources would be gone.
Although a year and a half might seem long to him, to the Xutian Ginsengs who had lived for millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, it was but an instant.
“I can try, but I can’t guarantee success!” Ye Feng said to the Old Ancestor of Xutian Ginseng.
“Thank you, young friend!”
All the members of the Xutian Ginseng Clan showed a smile. Ye Feng could feel the goodwill of the Xutian Ginseng Clansmen beside him sharply rising.
Then, the Old Ancestor of Xutian Ginseng used his own power to envelop Ye
Feng and the two Imperial Beasts, sending them into Mother Earth’s resources.
Without his power, Mother Earth’s resources might regard Ye Feng and the two Imperial Beasts as outsiders and take action against them.
Given the scale of Mother Earth’s resources at this moment, a single wave could probably dissolve Ye Feng and the others without allowing them any chance to escape.
At this moment, Ye Feng cautiously arrived at the heart of Mother Earth’s resources, witnessing its true core.
A massive transparent brown crystal that was visibly shrinking at an alarming speed.
“Strange, how is it shrinking?”
Ye Feng was puzzled, but with his spiritual sense being shielded by the force of Xutian Ginseng Old Ancestor, he couldn’t understand how the resource was shrinking.
“Master, let me try.”
Just then, the World Tree beside him spoke out.
Ye Feng’s expression changed. This was the team’s healer; it might have discovered something.
The World Tree took a step forward, suddenly radiating a dazzling emerald-green light.
“Huh?”
Simultaneously, all members of the Xutian Ginseng Clan shivered, because they felt a vigorous life force emanating from the green light.
This life force was so comfortable that it relaxed even them.
If the resources of Mother Earth were their survival essence, then this life force was the creation that could help them metamorphose.
Under this green light, every Xutian Ginseng exhibited a face of pleasure.
“Sss-Ahh-
On the other end, a terrifying scream resounded in Ye Feng’s mind, the strength of which made him spurt out a mouthful of blood.
The blood promptly landed on the resource of Mother Earth, quickly evaporating.
It was then that Ye Feng saw, under the Divine Light of the World Tree, the figure of a dark red lizard-like creature revealed on the massive brown crystal. It could be seen that the lizard was rapidly devouring the brown crystal.
That was the root cause of Mother Earth’s resources rapid decline…
However, under the illumination of the World Tree’s Divine Light, white smoke began to emerge from the dark red lizard.
It was under the light of the divine light that the lizard let out a ghostly howl, causing him injury.
“Boy, don’t meddle with things that don’t concern you!”
Simultaneously, a voice only audible to Ye Feng echoed in his ears.
Heck, Ye Feng was directly amused. The last person who threatened him face-to-face seems to have a grave overgrown with tall grass now.
Following that, Ye Feng returned to the Xutian Ginseng team with two Imperial Beasts.
As for all that had just happened, the Xutian Ginseng Clan mysteriously didn’t see anything. “It can be cured!”
“But… ”
Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, the whole Xutian Ginseng Clan burst into ecstasy.
However, upon hearing the second part of Ye Feng’s words, everyone’s expression shifted, especially the Xutian Ginseng Old Ancestor who anticipated Ye Feng making a huge demand.
He had decided that he must agree, no matter what Ye Feng demanded.
“The thing is, me and Imperial Beast’s cultivation levels are still quite low. If we were more potent, it would have been easier!”
Ye Feng spoke the truth. The Divine Light was indeed effective against the dark red lizard, but he was not powerful enough to kill it.
‘What? Just that?”
“I thought there were some major issues!”
“No problem, this Mother Earth’s resources can still hold on for a year!”
“This time is enough!”
A trace of guilt flashed in the eyes of Xutian Ginseng Old Ancestor. Such an honest and good-hearted person truly was rare, a unique treasure.
Regrettably, he was speculating that the boy would make big demands, he was really not human!
The more Xutian Ginseng Old Ancestor thought this way, the more guilty he felt..
