Chapter 232 - The Emperor is currently risking his life to snatch the Herba Brassicae
Seeing Feng Wuyou running in front, Murong Shaoxuan gave a bland and elegant smile, and then pressed a button on the wheelchair, and the wheelchair immediately brought and him to chase after.
Feng Wuyou ran across the suspension bridge while trembling, and saw a platform, and at the end of the platform, was a pitch black cave, there was nothing else.
He was also very surprised, didn't they say the Herba Brassicae were here? Why was there nothing here? Just as he was thinking, two middle-aged men with the same appearance walked out from the cave. They looked to be about fifty years old, and although the two of them did not have ferocious expressions on their faces, but from the way they walked out, one could tell that they were people with excellent martial arts cultivation.
Looking at Feng Wuyou and Xiao Lie, one of them spoke up first, "Are you the one who has come today to retrieve the Herba Brassicae?"
"Yes sir!" Although he did not know what the two of them were doing or why they were here, Feng Wuyou still nodded his head and admitted to it.
"We are the two brothers from Zhonghe City's Mo Clan, the elders who are in charge of protecting the Herba Brassicae, and right now, we are at the only stage of protecting the Herba Brassicae. The City Lord has already instructed us that if we can beat the two brothers today, the Herba Brassicae is welcome to leave, please!"
Hearing this, Feng Wuyou raised her brows: "If you want to take the Herba Brassicae, you only need to win against the two of you?"
"Yes, as long as we win!" One of them then started to execute his martial arts, "Please!"
Feng Wuyou nodded, and gave Xiao Lie a look, which meant that she understood what she meant. I'll drag the two of them, you go in and take the Herba Brassicae!
Xiao Lie nodded his head invisibly, showing that he understood what Feng Wuyou meant.
Feng Wuyou took out a Polygonum multiflorum Thunb from her waist, raised it with her Spirit Qi and attacked one of them.
However, those two were elders of the Mo family, and their martial arts were not weak either. Seeing Feng Wuyou make a move, she realized that the martial arts of the young man in front of her was actually not high. At the same time, he was also extremely curious about what was happening.
With such low cultivation, you dare to challenge two people here and seize the Herba Brassicae?!
Feng Wuyou swung out his whip and it was caught by one of them. Even though she used his full strength, she was still unable to pull it back. It was only now that Feng Wuyou realized that her martial arts skills were truly weak.
Any one of these people could kill him within seconds.
As he thought about it, he made up his mind that he must learn even more powerful martial arts in order to become stronger.
While Feng Wuyou and the two were in a stalemate, Xiao Lie had already found a chance to run out of the cave. When he arrived, he realized that the cave entrance seemed to be blocked by something, causing him to be unable to enter at all.
Feng Wuyou tilted his head and looked at him, only to realize that although the cave entrance looked pitch black, there was nothing there! Looking at the situation, Feng Wuyou recalled the time when the Master of Pure Wisdom trapped him within a barrier made of Inner Qi. It seems like the cave entrance was also protected by the Inner Qi of the two.
The two of them had such high martial arts skills, how could he win? Thinking about it, Feng Wuyou became even more anxious. The Polygonum multiflorum Thunb in his hand could not be pulled back, so he swung his leg, intending to kick the other person.
But, the man's cultivation was truly high, he had extended his hand and grabbed Feng Wuyou's leg, causing her to be unable to move, and just like that, Feng Wuyou was bound by the two of them!
Just as they were in a stalemate, a red figure suddenly appeared beside Feng Wuyou. Hua Yurong turned and landed beside Feng Wuyou, grabbed her collar and pulled her backwards …
Feng Wuyou, along with the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, broke free from the restraints of the two and retreated a few steps!
"Leave this to me, the Herba Brassicae is inside the cave, go quickly!" Just as Hua Yurong finished speaking, she used her strength to throw her out.
Feng Wuyou only felt that her feet were empty, and she herself flew towards the direction of the cave.
Damn, if I had to throw it away, I wouldn't even look for a way to greet it. Did I want to scare the baby to death?!
Xiao Lie flew towards the cave with his fangs and claws bared. Seeing that, Xiao Lie quickly reached out to catch her, but was struck by her flying momentum and broke through the barrier, falling into the cave.
The two of them looked at Hua Yurong with a puzzled expression for a moment, and asked in a probing manner: "You are … Ling Feng's son, Zi Xiao? "
Hearing that, Hua Yurong's eyes flashed, but she did not say anything, and only coldly stared at the two.
Looking at Hua Yurong's expression, the two of them knew that they had guessed correctly, and shook their heads helplessly: "Mo Zixiao, you are the future City Lord of Zhonghe City, to help an outsider steal the Herba Brassicae, have you thought about the consequences?!"
Hua Yurong paused for a moment, and her voice carried a bit of coldness: "I didn't mean to hurt you two, don't force me!" Protecting the Herba Brassicae was the mission of the Mo family, but if she wanted to watch Xiao Zhonger die, he couldn't do it either!
Seeing this, the two of them shook their heads. Their eyes were filled with disappointment and disappointment.
The current Zhonghe City was ruled by Mo Lingfeng, and the person in front of him should be Mo Lingfeng's only successor. In the future, he would lead the Mo family and continue to protect the Zhonghe City.
Sighing slightly, he continued, "Forget it, this matter should be left to the City Lord to handle." The two of them were merely elders sent by the clan to protect the Herba Brassicae. They did not have the authority to deal with the next generation City Lord.
… ….
Feng Wuyou and Xiao Lie fell into the cave together. Previously, when they were outside, they could clearly see that the cave was pitch black, but after entering, they discovered that there were many Night Pearl like gems placed inside the cave.
The two looked around the cave, and did not see any Herba Brassicae s, but instead found a small path, they did not know where it led to. Seeing that, Feng Wuyou did not have any hesitation and brought Xiao Lie into the path.
However, he was very curious at the bottom of his heart. Wasn't Herba Brassicae grass?
Why did it grow in the depths of this cave? Did it not need sunlight to grow?
And because of what he had heard from the two Guardian Elders, Feng Wuyou was not worried about the trap inside at the moment. Bringing Xiao Lie along, they quickly reached the end of the path.
What he saw was a huge space in the middle of the mountain. As he reached the flat land at the end, he could feel that the temperature had increased by quite a bit!
Feng Wuyou and Xiao Lie looked at each other, and then walked forward at the same time. After walking a few steps, a huge fissure appeared in front of them, about 20 metres wide.
The bottom of the rift was a piece of fiery red that slowly flowed.
This was … Magma?
No wonder the temperature seemed much higher after reaching this place. The bottom of the cliff was covered in boiling lava!
On the other side of the crevice was a precipitous cliff. On the cliff, there was nothing but a withered vine.
Perhaps it was because there was no sunlight here, but the vine was completely white from its leaves to its stems. In the middle of the pile of white vines was a bowl sized flower bud that was ready to bloom.
Streams of seven colored light lingered on the flower bud, looking extremely magical. And at this moment, the flower that was about to bloom, under the gazes of Feng Wuyou and, slowly bloomed at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
As the white, almost transparent flower petals opened up one by one, the seven colored light surrounding them also became stronger. In the end, the flower petals completely opened up, and under the contrast of the seven colored light, they were extremely beautiful.
Then it's the Herba Brassicae!
Feng Wuyou looked at the distance between the two sides and tilted her head to look at Xiao Lie. "Xiao Lie, can you do it?" This place was not like the outside. The ground was filled with burning hot magma, and there was nothing in the middle. Normal people did not have a foothold, and could not directly fly over.
Although Xiao Lie's Qing Gong was different from ordinary people, the cliff on the other side did not stop there. After harvesting the Herba Brassicae, he still had to return …. This point was indeed rather difficult!
Xiao Lie looked at the flower, then looked at the slowly flowing fiery hot lava below his feet, and finally made a firm decision as if he was nodding his head: "I will do my best!" To be honest, he wasn't too sure either, but since he was following his master for a mission, he had to do his best.
Even if he died, he wouldn't feel guilty anymore!
After Xiao Lie finished speaking, he measured the distance under his feet and carefully looked at the cliff face opposite him. Finally, beside the Herba Brassicae, he found a protrusion that was about the size of a fist, and was just enough to grasp onto power!
With a leap, he flew towards the Herba Brassicae above the cliff. Xiao Lie's Qing Gong was indeed powerful, with a distance of over twenty meters, even though he did not have a single landing spot, he successfully flew to the other side.
With a stretch of his hand, he grabbed a rock protruding from the cliff and plucked the seven colored Herba Brassicae.
He turned his head to look at Feng Wuyou's worried expression and smiled at her, indicating that he had gotten it himself. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a "boom" sound.
Feng Wuyou frowned, a bad premonition arose in her heart. Without enough time to think deeply, she shouted at Xiao Lie: "Xiao Lie, come back quickly, quickly!"
Because of that slight tremble, the stone in Xiao Lie's hand began to loosen up. In the end, before Feng Wuyou could finish speaking, it fell off under the two's shocked gazes …
"No!" The duo cried out in alarm at the same time. The moment he dropped down in a straight line, Xiao Lie quickly extended his leg out, borrowing the force of the fall to fly towards the cliff, and then flew straight towards Feng Wuyou.
Although he had used all of his strength, it was too late. When he was still half a meter from the ground, he started to descend in a straight line. When he realized he was not able to borrow any strength, he started to panic.
It was also at the same time that the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb in Feng Wuyou's hands flew out and trapped at Xiao Lie's waist, causing Xiao Lie, who was descending in a straight line, to pause in midair for a moment before falling even lower.
Feng Wuyou was pulled down by the inertia, and with a "bang", she was pulled to the side of the cliff while tightly grasping the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb in her hands. "Xiao Lie, hold tight!"
Although Xiao Lie was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he was still exceptionally tall. Right now, he was already more than 1.7m and his weight also seemed to be around 60kg.
Slowly, Feng Wuyou also felt that she could not hold on any longer!
Xiao Lie lifted his head and looked at Feng Wuyou who was gritting her teeth while tightly pulling the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb in her hands.
With all of his strength, he threw the Herba Brassicae in his hand upwards, and it steadily landed on the ground behind Feng Wuyou.
Seeing that the Herba Brassicae was safe, Xiao Lie was relieved as well. He looked at Feng Wuyou with a trace of gratitude in her eyes, "Master, let go of me!" Regardless of whether the master was pulling at him with all her might for the sake of the Herba Brassicae in his hands or for his sake, it made him feel very touched.
If this continued, the two of them might even fall down!
"I'm not letting go!" Feng Wuyou forced out a word from his teeth, then looked down at Xiao Lie: "You damned brat, what are you still standing there for? If you don't want to die, hurry up and climb up by yourself! Do you really expect me to pull you up? I don't have enough strength left! "
Even though Xiao Lie was not small, he was still only fourteen or fifteen years old in the end. Feng Wuyou's words immediately brought Xiao Lie back to reality, and she started to grab the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb by her waist and started to climb.
The master and servant present were trying their best to save themselves, but no one noticed that a black shadow had appeared behind them, walking in front of the Herba Brassicae.
