Chapter 1823 - 1822: Jungle, Buddhist Scripture!

"Good!"

Ding Lan and Shuang’er also knew that buying a Magic Artifact was very expensive, so they increased their speed and began slaughtering the Fierce Beasts whose movements had become much slower.

At this moment, Qin Feng also held his Longsword, performing the "Immortal Dance" of Shadow Concealing Step, leaping into the air to swiftly eliminate those large Red-eyed Bats.

Of course.

More and more Fierce Beasts continued to gather here from the rear and the surroundings of the square.

The four persisted for fifteen minutes.

Finally, the mist on the path ahead dispersed.

"We can advance!"

Ding Lan exclaimed.

The four stopped paying attention to those Fierce Beasts because there was simply no way to kill them all. In a hurry, they continued to run forward just like before, occasionally slaying some Fierce Beasts that launched surprise attacks from the roadside.

No one knew how long they had been running.

Ding Lan, Shuang’er, and Jiu Jie showed signs of exhaustion, panting heavily.

They quickly consumed the Potions they’d bought earlier to increase their stamina, continuing to run forward.

Finally, they reached the second checkpoint!

Ahead was a small courtyard, surrounded by dense jungle, with tall Fierce Beasts still constantly appearing.

"Once we finish this wave, we can rest briefly inside!"

Ding Lan said, her brow furrowed tightly, "But, it’s said that this wave is very difficult!"

"It’s said?"

Qin Feng wondered.

Shuang’er, beside him, explained, "Back then, we couldn’t even last at the first checkpoint after leaving the Main City and couldn’t afford enough Spirit Stones. We gave all our Spirit Stones to our Master Sister, who went out a few times and told us some details here, saying the second checkpoint has a house where we can rest briefly, but it’s much harder than the first checkpoint."

"I see."

Qin Feng nodded, gripping the Longsword in his hand.

At this moment.

Just like the first checkpoint, Fierce Beasts pursuing from behind and those emerging from the jungle around them surged forth like a flood.

Ding Lan and Shuang’er continued to focus on the main attack from the rear road.

Qin Feng and Jiu Jie handled the Fierce Beasts darting out from the jungle around them.

After a while of battle, Ding Lan furrowed her brow, worried, "It’s not working. My Divine-level Green Bamboo Sword’s Durability is almost depleted..."

"Mine too..." Shuang’er worried.

Qin Feng looked towards Jiu Jie, saying, "Keep using your wooden fish."

"But I want to save it..." Jiu Jie said.

"Save your sister! We’ll buy you a new one later!" Qin Feng was speechless at this idiot, who was still thinking of saving at a time like this.

No choice.

Jiu Jie reluctantly took out the wooden fish and started beating it.

As before, the Fierce Beasts all slowed significantly, as if cursed.

Qin Feng and the other two fought fiercely.

But as time passed, the number of slain Fierce Beasts was twice that of the first checkpoint and showed no sign of ending.

"How long until it’s over? My wooden fish is running out..."

Jiu Jie said pitifully.

At that moment, a crisp "clang" sounded.

Ding Lan and Shuang’er’s Divine-level Divine Weapons were no longer able to hold and shattered completely.

No choice.

They could only use their personal weapons.

The power was much weaker than the previous Divine-level Divine Weapons, making it laborious to fight the Fierce Beasts, often needing close combat.

This caused them to frequently be struck by the Fierce Beasts.

Although Qin Feng’s speed was extremely fast.

In this situation, he couldn’t spare time to handle the two of them, as the approaching Fierce Beasts were so dense they seemed endless.

Seeing the four about to reach their limits.

At this point.

Suddenly, a strange Buddha Mantra sound filled the air!

The Buddha Mantra, like a Magic Spell, reverberated in the air, and any Fierce Beasts entering the range of the Buddhist Scripture struggled painfully for two or three seconds before exploding into a puff of smoke and disappearing!

"Oh??"

Qin Feng was puzzled, looking towards Jiu Jie.

Ding Lan and Shuang’er also looked breathlessly at him.

It turned out the Buddha Mantra was chanted by him.

At this time, he planted the Scepter before him, sitting cross-legged with a Buddhist Scripture in hand, chanting.

The Buddhist Scripture was bought previously while purchasing equipment outside, by Jiu Jie.

At that time, Ding Lan and Shuang’er felt it a waste of money, but the power of the Buddhist Scripture was surprisingly strong, causing the Fierce Beasts here to all drop dead!

The three completely relaxed.

They suddenly realized that with this Buddhist Scripture, even without them, it could handle things easily.

This further convinced Qin Feng of the game’s unfairness, feeling like it was selecting people, RMB players, whoever has money, is powerful here!

Time passed bit by bit.

The number of Fierce Beasts killed by the Buddhist Scripture was countless.

Finally.

With the end of the Buddhist Scripture, the surroundings quieted down; no more Fierce Beasts attacked.

The door of the house ahead opened.

"Ah, my wooden fish and Buddhist Scripture, didn’t even warm up before they were gone..."

Jiu Jie said, heartbroken.

The four entered the house, discovering an old lady inside.

The old lady smiled at the four of them, saying, "Dear guests, would you like something to eat or drink?"

The four knew that the items here were probably bought with Spirit Stones, used to replenish stamina and energy. Since they’d already bought some Elixirs outside, they replied no need.

"Would you like to mark here then?"

The old lady asked with a smile.

"Mark?" Qin Feng wondered.

Ding Lan explained, "Our Master Sister mentioned before that marking is to leave a symbol here. After exiting the Main City Illusion and reentering, you can reach here directly following the mark without traversing the earlier path again."

"..."

Qin Feng blinked in shock.

It was just like a ’save’ and ’load’ in games!

He strongly suspected the Taichu Immortal King was a modern person who traveled to ancient times...

"Let’s mark then!"

Qin Feng stated.

That previous path was too exhausting and time-consuming. Being able to ’save’ would be perfect.

"Saving needs one banner, costing one million Spirit Stones."

The old lady took out four small colorful banners for marking.

Qin Feng focused his eyes, noticing they were precisely the Upper Realm’s Nine-layered Banner used for traversing!

Ding Lan and Shuang’er widened their eyes in astonishment, exclaiming, "One million?? That’s too much!!"

"If it costs so much, might as well kill us..."

"..."

The old lady smiled, "Not too much, not too much. The further the markings, the more Spirit Stones needed."

Ding Lan and Shuang exchanged glances, with faces akin to Jiu Jie’s.

But gritting their teeth, they still took out Spirit Stones, intending to mark here.

Just before handing four million Spirit Stones to the old lady, Qin Feng suddenly stopped them, saying, "Wait a moment!"

"Uh?"

The two looked at him in confusion.
