Chapter 276: A Trip to Wuyang Mountain

Lin Wei, however, said, "Even if you are a Martial Emperor, you are not invincible; you must still prioritize caution."

"Got it, got it."

Lin Feng nodded and reached out his right hand to pinch Lin Wei's chubby cheeks.

Lin Wei's already slightly flushed cheeks turned even redder; she glanced at the villa courtyard, and seeing that those Divine Dragon Guards were not there, she stood on her tiptoes and gave Lin Feng a forceful kiss.

"Come back early," Lin Wei said.

"I will."

Patting Lin Wei's head, Lin Feng turned around and walked toward the courtyard gate, leaving with long, swift strides.

A taxi drove out from the Jiangbei City area, speeding toward the direction of the Wuyang Mountain scenic area.

In the car, the scruffy taxi driver sized Lin Feng up through the rearview mirror and asked curiously, "Young man, are you going to Wuyang Mountain for a trip by yourself?"

"I'm not going for a trip; I'm going to find something," Lin Feng said indifferently.

"Find something? Find what? Did you lose your phone there?" the taxi driver was even more curious.

"None of your business. Don't ask so much; focus on driving," Lin Feng said.

"Young man has quite a temper, finding it annoying even to be asked..."

The taxi driver muttered and increased the speed of the car.

After nearly two hours, the entrance to the Wuyang Mountain scenic area was already right before their eyes.

But just at this moment, Lin Feng suddenly said, "Stop the car; stopping here is fine."

The taxi driver was startled and asked, "You're not entering the scenic area and are getting off here? Do you want to go up the mountain from another path? Young man, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but do you know you are courting death?"

Wuyang Mountain has a vast terrain; although the peaks are not steep, the mountain is densely covered with trees, resembling a primeval forest.

Most importantly, not every part of Wuyang Mountain has been developed.

On the contrary, the developed area of Wuyang Mountain is less than ten percent of the total area; over ninety percent is undeveloped, and these places not only have complex terrain but also many wild beasts.

Every year, many people who enjoy mountain climbing and wilderness exploration ignore warnings, leave the scenic area, enter the undeveloped regions, and then disappear without a trace.

Such examples can be said to be everywhere and are nothing new.

At this very moment, in the eyes of this taxi driver, Lin Feng was just such a reckless fool.

"I'll say it again, it's none of your business," Lin Feng said.

"Young man, life is the most important thing; whatever you do, you must prioritize staying alive. There are so many wild beasts in this mountain. If you don't take the scenic area's path and go up the mountain from here, you wouldn't make it out even if you had ten lives," the taxi driver said as if trying to persuade him with good intentions.

"Stop the car, this one thousand yuan is yours." Lin Feng took out his wallet and pulled out ten bright red hundred-yuan bills.

The taxi driver immediately slammed on the brakes to stop the car and swiftly snatched the ten hundred-yuan bills from Lin Feng's hand.

"Young man, take your time, I won't see you off," the taxi driver said with a beaming smile.

Lin Feng pushed the door open and got out; looking at the lush mountain forest before him and the mountain path that was almost impossible to distinguish, he let out a light breath and stepped onto the path to climb the mountain.

Watching Lin Feng's figure fade into the distance, the taxi driver rolled up the window and shook his head, saying, "It's truly hard to persuade a ghost who is determined to die with kind words..."

Although he had already walked far away, Lin Feng still heard the driver's muttering.

Lin Feng didn't take it to heart at all; he smiled and continued on his way.

By now, the sky was completely bright, and sunlight poured down from the sky but could not penetrate the dense canopy; occasionally, when the wind blew, the canopy swayed and the leaves rustled, and only then would light pass through the gaps in the leaves, forming hazy spots of light in the mountain forest.

The mountain forest was filled with a damp, musty smell, which was not pleasant to smell; the idea that the air in the mountains is fresh seemed to be nothing but a deceptive lie.

Suddenly, a sharp cat screech came from overhead.

Lin Feng looked up and discovered a ferocious-looking lynx descending from the sky, opening its bloody maw to pounce and bite at him.

A lynx is a mountain cat, much larger in size than a house cat, with long, slender limbs, full of wildness, and extremely aggressive.

In the mountains, although a lynx is not a large beast of prey, it is still very dangerous.

If an ordinary person encounters a lynx, while it might not be life-threatening, they would inevitably end up injured.

"I didn't provoke you, yet you take the initiative to attack me? If you weren't a protected animal, I would kill you right now."

Lin Feng said irritably, raising his right hand to grab the lynx's neck like lightning; pure Divine Dragon True Qi surged from his palm, pouring into the lynx's body like a sluice gate releasing a flood.

Consequently, the lynx was instantly unable to move.

It was as if it had been hit by an immobilization spell; its whole body was stiff and unable to move, and every part of its body was rigid.

"Get lost! If you dare appear in front of me again, I won't spare you!"

As Lin Feng spoke, he threw the lynx in his hand far away.

The lynx drew a parabola in the air, and after landing on the ground, it was covered in dust and looked incredibly disheveled.

It turned its head and gave Lin Feng a look of extreme fear, then fled in a panic, quickly disappearing into the grass.

Lin Feng continued on his way, but he was not walking fast.

Although the top priority was to find the Juegu Grass, the Soul-Extinguishing Gu in Lin Wei's body had been forcibly suppressed by Qijue Xuannv and would not act up for at least seven days.

Seven days was, for Lin Feng, a very ample amount of time, so he was not in a rush.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance drifted over from afar.

Lin Feng's expression changed, and after only a slight hesitation, he walked with long strides in that direction.

Before long, Lin Feng pushed aside the grass and found a small flower with five petals and moon patterns on the petals.

"Baiyue Flower..."

A smile curled at the corners of Lin Feng's mouth, and the expression on his face was very satisfied.

The Baiyue Flower is a type of Spirit Medicine that can be used to refine the Baiyue Pill.

The Baiyue Pill has the effect of clearing away distracting thoughts; after taking the Baiyue Pill, one can enter a state of having no distracting thoughts, thereby significantly increasing cultivation efficiency.

Although the value of the Baiyue Flower is not particularly great, Lin Feng had encountered a Spirit Medicine just after arriving here, so this luck was already quite good.

"This Wuyang Mountain is truly full of treasures everywhere; I haven't walked far and I've already found a Spirit Medicine. I really don't know what I will encounter next," Lin Feng thought to himself, feeling somewhat expectant.

Suddenly, a colorful venomous snake slithered over from the side, raised its neck, and aimed at Lin Feng, seemingly preparing to launch an attack.

However, before it could make a move, Lin Feng had already struck first, grabbing its neck and shaking it violently.

Crack, crack sounds immediately rang out; the bones throughout the venomous snake's entire body were shaken apart by Lin Feng, and when Lin Feng let go, it could only lie on the ground twitching, no longer able to move its body.
