Chapter 294: Almost Tripped Up

Lin Feng said this and then smashed the two Nine-Turn Ascension Pills onto the coffin lid.

Upon the pills being crushed, dense clusters of white insect eggs scattered out; these eggs looked just like white sesame seeds, yet were a little smaller than white sesame seeds, and there were thousands of them!

"Could these be the eggs of the Ghost-Face Moth?" Hu Lili asked in shock.

"That's right, it's this very thing."

Lin Feng brushed the dust off his hands and continued: "The answer is already obvious; this ancient tomb was a trap from start to finish. Grave robbers who broke in here harbored daydreams of getting rich, but in the end, not only would it be a wasted effort, they would even lose their lives here."

"As long as this kind of pill is consumed, the Ghost-Face Moths inside the pill will enter the human body and hatch within it. Your internal organs will all be hollowed out by the larvae of the Ghost-Face Moths, and you will completely turn into a breeding ground for hatching Ghost-Face Moths!"

Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia's delicate bodies trembled, and both their legs were shivering.

They felt extremely fortunate right now.

Fortunately, Lin Feng was there; otherwise, the two of them would have already consumed these pills containing the Gu insect eggs, and they would have been one hundred percent dead!

"These harmful things cannot be left behind, otherwise more people will die here."

Lin Feng said this and smashed all the pills, not leaving a single one.

Hu Lili said indignantly: "This guy named Hong Lunhai is just too evil; to actually leave behind such a sinister and vicious trick, he really is harming people deeply!"

Cheng Jiajia then said: "Who said the ancients were simple and honest? The two of us almost died at the hands of ancients from several hundred years ago just now."

"You two step aside, I'll open this coffin to see if there is actually a corpse inside," Lin Feng said.

Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia stepped back together.

Once they retreated outside the safety zone, Lin Feng slapped the coffin with his palm.

And so, this coffin, which had already begun to rot, shattered into pieces with a 'Crack!', and inside it was indeed empty, with nothing at all.

Seeing this scene, Hu Lili was greatly disappointed.

"Not even a single burial object? This Hong Lunhai is truly too stingy," Hu Lili said.

Lin Feng, however, said in a matter-of-fact tone: "This ancient tomb was originally a trap to lure grave robbers here to die; naturally, there wouldn't be any corpses in the tomb, let alone burial objects."

"Besides, as the daughter of the Hu Family, you don't have to worry about food or drink at all; what do you need burial objects for? Are you going to sell them for money?"

Hu Lili said embarrassedly: "Of course it's for collection; I'm not short on money."

Unknowingly, Lin Feng, Hu Lili, and Cheng Jiajia had already wasted over two hours in this ancient tomb.

Lin Feng then said: "Let's go, we'll return the way we came; we've already finished exploring this damn ancient tomb, there's no need to waste any more time here."

Although Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia were greatly disappointed, they still cheered themselves up and followed Lin Feng to leave.

When they entered the ancient tomb, it was noon.

And by the time Lin Feng, Hu Lili, and Cheng Jiajia came out of this ancient tomb, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Seeing the sun again, Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia both felt the sunlight was blinding, and it took a good while before they adapted.

They rested for a little while, then set off again with Lin Feng.

By the time the sun set, the group of three led by Lin Feng arrived at the summit of Wuyang Mountain.

From a distance, Lin Feng saw a giant rock; according to the intelligence revealed by Yang Zhenting, the Juegu Grass grew on top of this giant rock.

So Lin Feng left Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia behind and dashed over to inspect it.

However, to Lin Feng's surprise, this rock was empty; there was no Juegu Grass at all!

"What is going on? Is the Dragon Soul intelligence wrong, or was the Juegu Grass here picked by someone else first?" Lin Feng muttered to himself, the expression on his face becoming very grim.

Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia ran over together and asked: "Lin Feng, what are you looking for?"

"Do you need our help?"

Lin Feng shook his head and said: "I am looking for a type of Spirit Medicine called Juegu Grass, which is of great use to me. I received intelligence that the Juegu Grass grows on this rock, but now I haven't found it."

"Then we'll help you..."

Before Hu Lili could finish her sentence, Lin Feng waved his hand to interrupt her.

"You two go do your own things, don't worry about me, I'll look around nearby myself," Lin Feng said.

Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia had no choice but to go to a distance to set up the tent.

The sun had completely set, and night had fully fallen.

But Lin Feng still hadn't found the Juegu Grass, so he took out his phone and called Yang Zhenting.

"What? The Juegu Grass is gone?" Shock was contained in Yang Zhenting's voice.

"That is the fact; I did not find the Juegu Grass on the summit of Wuyang Mountain, and I have checked the vicinity as well, still nothing," Lin Feng said.

Yang Zhenting hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, don't be anxious yet, I will ask Pharmacist Li again."

"Then hurry up," Lin Feng said, suppressing the urgency in his heart.

Before long, Yang Zhenting said: "Mr. Lin, Pharmacist Li says that she did indeed see the Juegu Grass you mentioned on that giant rock at the summit of Wuyang Mountain before; she guarantees this is true."

Lin Feng's patience was about to run out.

Whether or not Li Cailing, the pharmacist of the Dragon Soul Branch, lied, and whether the Juegu Grass growing here was snatched by someone else, no longer mattered.

The fact was that there was no Juegu Grass here!

Since that was the case, it was safer to make other plans sooner.

It was only the second night now, and there were still five days left before the Soul-Extinguishing Gu inside Lin Wei's body would awaken and strike; there was definitely still time!

Just as Lin Feng thought of this, the voice of Qijue Xuannv suddenly sounded in Lin Feng's mind.

"Don't be anxious yet, wait and see; Juegu Grass grows facing the sun, but it is currently night, perhaps it has hidden itself," Qijue Xuannv said.

"Is this true?" Lin Feng asked.

"I am only guessing, anyway you aren't in a rush for this one night's time," Qijue Xuannv said again.

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Fine, I believe you."

It was at this moment that Hu Lili's voice came: "Lin Feng, dinner is ready, come over and eat."

Lin Feng then walked over with long strides, sat down by the campfire with Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia, and enjoyed dinner.

Hu Lili asked, "Lin Feng, have you found that kind of Spirit Medicine you were looking for?"

"Not yet." Lin Feng shook his head.

Hu Lili then comforted him, "Don't be anxious. Wait until daybreak tomorrow to look again. If it really doesn't work out, I can help you too. I know many friends; perhaps they can help you find this Spirit Medicine?"

"Then I will say thank you in advance," Lin Feng said, the expression on his face looking much better.

The night passed without incident.

Day broke, and the sun climbed from the horizon, spilling its brilliant red sunlight onto Wuyang Mountain.

Thus, the vast Wuyang Mountain seemed to be draped in a layer of crimson gauze.
