Chapter 137 Escape from the Dragon's Mouth
Inside the mouth of the Candle Dragon, Cheng Feng felt no jolts, but he could hear the sounds of pebbles colliding outside.
Gradually, Cheng Feng stopped paying attention to the situation outside. He hadn't noticed the changes in the imaginary space in his haste to leave.
After activating his Ghost Eye, Cheng Feng looked towards the Imaginary Space.
At this moment, a giant bronze tree stood in the previously empty space.
The large rats huddled tremblingly in their burrows.
"Indeed, these rats can survive in the imaginary space with the Bronze Tree present."
However, their food source is a problem…
Just then, Cheng Feng saw Jingjian Ahan crawl into a mouse hole.
The next second, the big rat suddenly pounced on Jingjian Ahan, grabbed him with its claws, and started to bite him.
In no time at all, the Agama was swallowed up by the giant rat.
"The Heavenly Gang has been turned upside down! The rat is actually eating the snake!"
Cheng Feng silently mourned for the rat in advance, knowing that the toxicity of the Pure Land Ajatasatru was undeniably potent.
Eating it is worse than eating dirt; at least you'll die slower that way.
1 second, 2 seconds... 1 minute, 2 minutes...
Five minutes passed and the mouse remained unchanged.
"What's wrong with this rat? How can it be immune to the poison of the Pure Land Āgama?"
Incredulous, Cheng Feng immediately mobilized ten Pure Vision Agamas to crawl toward the rat.
The rats were not afraid of so many snakes coming to their door; they went forward and began to tear and gnaw at them.
But the speed of the Pure Vision Agama was not bad either. After sacrificing three, one of the Pure Vision Agama finally bit the mouse's leg.
The next second, the mouse collapsed to the ground, and its heart stopped beating.
"It seems that rats are not completely immune to toxins, but their stomachs are special and can digest the poison of the Abhidharma."
Cheng Feng was secretly pleased to have killed the rat that dared to be the first to try something new.
It's enough that it can be digested; the Pure Vision Agamas here are endless and won't be eaten by mice.
This way, Zhulong's food supply will be guaranteed. If Cheng Feng had to rely entirely on external purchases, he would have had to open a farm.
Otherwise, buying a large animal every now and then would attract too much attention.
After checking on the rats, Cheng Feng then paid attention to the Bronze Divine Tree and found that it had not had any impact on the imaginary space.
However, it's also possible that the impact is subtle and just hasn't been discovered yet.
Cheng Feng wasn't worried about the Snake God resurrecting; that guy was thoroughly dead, and even his core Phoenix Gallbladder had been removed.
What will it use to revive?
After his mind returned from the imaginary space, Cheng Feng found that there was no more noise outside.
But Zhulong still did not spit him out.
"I wonder how much impact collecting the divine tree will have on the outside world. I hope it hasn't caused too much damage."
The outside world at this time.
Hei Xiazi and the Xieling group were having a meal together in a farmhouse courtyard.
A large basin is placed in the center of the table, containing a local specialty: stewed chicken with gastrodia elata.
Other dishes include stir-fried cured pork with fermented black beans, tofu soup, and cold noodles.
Of course, we can't forget Hei Xiazi's favorite dish: shredded pork with green peppers.
After taking a sip of the scalded liquor, Black Bear smacked his lips and said:
"Your leader really made a big move; the entire Qinling Mountains could feel the tremors."
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect drank and ate in silence for a while before one of them spoke up:
"Master Hei, how should we respond to Madam's inquiry about our situation?"
Hei Xiazi looked out the window towards Tianmen Mountain, and after a moment of silence, said:
"Let's wait a bit. Sending a message back now could cause trouble."
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect nodded and said nothing more.
Black Bear took another sip of liquor and whispered:
"I hope everything goes smoothly, otherwise my wages will be gone!"
While everyone else was having a meal together, Cheng Feng was still hungry.
After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Feng felt the Candle Dragon stop.
"Have we reached the ground yet?!"
As Cheng Feng was thinking this, the Candle Dragon opened its mouth, and Cheng Feng quickly jumped out of it.
At this time, Zhulong was not in good condition, with some of its scales damaged.
There are many small injuries on his head.
However, overall, he maintained a good condition, which reassured Cheng Feng.
"Thanks, bro. I promise you'll live the high life from now on."
Cheng Feng was very grateful for Zhulong's protection and decided that he would definitely improve Zhulong's diet in the future.
We can't just eat rats all the time; we need to change things up a bit.
Zhulong lowered its head in front of Cheng Feng, letting Cheng Feng pat its head.
After calming Zhulong down, Cheng Feng then looked around at the situation.
We were already above ground, but on both sides were high mountains with curves that hid the valley in darkness.
Although it was daytime, this place was still shrouded in darkness, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
"Brother Long, you should go and rest too. I can walk the rest of the way by myself."
Cheng Feng was worried that if Zhulong stayed away from the Bronze Tree for too long, it would affect its survival.
Moreover, I couldn't bear to make people do things for me anymore; I should rest and recuperate for a while because of my injuries.
Then Cheng Feng opened his Ghost Eyes and opened the Imaginary Space.
Zhulong seemed to sense the aura of the Bronze Divine Tree and immediately climbed into the entrance of the Imaginary Space.
Soon its enormous form completely entered the imaginary space.
Cheng Feng was worried that Zhulong would not adapt well to the new environment, so he made a special trip to check on its condition inside the space.
However, they discovered that Zhulong seemed extremely satisfied with the space, and even somewhat excited.
"I'm so confused. This imaginary space originated from the serpent god, and Zhulong looks somewhat like a serpent."
Even rats can adapt, let alone this distant relative of his.
After confirming the state of the Candle Dragon, Cheng Feng withdrew his Ghost Eye.
After this period of recovery, Cheng Feng has emerged from his weakened state.
Although it hasn't recovered to its peak yet, it's enough for traveling.
As for wild beasts, Cheng Feng wasn't worried at all. He'd be even better if he encountered larger ones, so he wouldn't have to travel on his own.
Cheng Feng casually tore off a section of vine and started gnawing on it.
This thing is wood that makes a crunching sound when you gnaw on it, but Cheng Feng has good teeth and can even chew wood.
If the conditions weren't so restrictive, Cheng Feng would have no problem even if he gnawed on a tree.
"It tastes bad, but it seems to be more nutritious than processed food."
His lineage from Emperor Yan allowed him to quickly restore his strength by consuming plants.
So no matter how awful this thing tastes, Cheng Feng still has to eat some.
And so Cheng Feng continued walking forward through the canyon, munching on the vines.
He wants to get out of the Qinling Mountains as soon as possible, and he also wants to find a place to take a bath.
Zhulong didn't have the habit of brushing his teeth, so the taste in his mouth was a bit strong, and he desperately needed to get rid of this torment to his nose.
Two days later.
A well-dressed young man suddenly appeared in a small mountain village right next to the Qinling Mountains.
This person was Cheng Feng.
He walked along a waterway for two whole days before finally finding a settlement.
There were plenty of survival supplies in the imaginary space, so he had been doing quite well these past two days.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the elderly at the village entrance, Cheng Feng chuckled and inquired about the location of Foping County.
Fortunately, he didn't stray too far from the destination, and once he reached the town, there were buses to Foping County.
It only takes 2 hours to get to the station near Foping Village.
After asking for directions to the town, Cheng Feng thanked the elderly people.
They then left the small village nestled in the mountains.
