TFHS: Chapter 116

The masters of the essence dan realm all left the valley. No one stopped them, so Feng Ming’s group entered smoothly.

There was still chaos in the valley. Several parties were fighting and it was hard to tell who was fighting whom. There were cultivators searching around for any missing seven-leaf insect flower plants.

The black crystal turtle anxiously urged Feng Ming. For the first time, Feng Ming found that the turtle’s temperament could be so urgent. Then he could imagine how important this delicious food was to the little turtle.

Feng Ming pointed in the direction. Bai Qiaomo took the lead, guiding him and Cheng Miao to go around the cultivators and picking out places where no one was present.

Cultivator Zhong and the others didn’t know the reason, but among them, Bai Qiaomo or Brother Da Qiao, was obviously the strongest.

In addition, there was also Young Master Cheng Miao. They absolutely couldn’t let anything happen to him or Mr Shi will definitely not spare them. Thus, they also chose to follow behind Feng Ming.

The group of people took a big detour and came to the depths of the valley where few people had reached.

Cheng Miao said curiously, “Brother Xiao Qiao, what are we doing here?”

Cultivator Zhong was also curious. Then he saw Feng Ming put down the little turtle on his shoulder.

The black crystal turtle, who had always loved to rest on his shoulder, was now paddling his limbs rapidly. He moved forward at a running speed and was submerged in the grass in the blink of an eye.

“What is Xiao Jing doing?” It was so abnormal that people had to notice it.

Feng Ming waved his hand and said, “Follow me. This little guy found something delicious and wants to eat it even if it means dying.”

Cheng Miao understood. “It turns out that Brother Xiao Qiao came in due to Xiao Jing.”

He was a bit disappointed. He had thought that Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo would fight against these cultivators. He wasn’t strong enough, but he actually yearned for the adventurous life of a mercenary.

“Pretty much,” Feng Ming said with a meaningful smile.

If it wasn’t for the group following quickly, they might’ve lost the little turtle. However, Feng Ming was his master so there was no need to worry about not finding the little guy.

After following for a few minutes, the black crystal turtle in front stopped.

Bai Qiaomo and Cheng Miao also saw the stopped black crystal turtle. They all waited curiously to see what the turtle was going to do.

The stopped black crystal turtle quickly moved his claws and dug a hole in the ground in front of him. He dug deeper and deeper. His entire small body entered it and made it invisible from the outside.

Feng Ming admired the black crystal turtle for putting in such a big effort just to get a bite to eat.

Feng Ming could sense that mysterious black crystal turtle drilling deeper and deeper into the ground. Suddenly, he stopped. There was a click and a very excited emotion was transmitted from the black crystal turtle.

What g good guy, he finally caught that sneaky seven-leaf insect flower plant.

Feng Ming sensed that the black crystal turtle was returning along the original path he had dug out.

Cheng Miao, Cultivator Zhong and the others finally saw the black crystal turtle returning.

He had something firmly in his mouth and was dragging it along the ground.

“Ah, what is this thing he is biting?”

As the turtle got closer, everyone looked at the familiar thing in the black crystal turtle’s mouth with shock. Wasn’t this precisely the seven-leaf insect flower plant that they saw in the recording stone?

The plant was bitten. It twisted and struggled for a while, but when the black crystal turtle returned to the ground, he swallowed half if it with a few bites. The remaining half lay completely flat.

Cheng Miao and Cultivator Zhong were shocked.

“This… this… was eaten? This is the seven-leaf insect flower plant.”

Even the powerful essence dan realm experts were fighting for it, but it was caught by a little turtle and half of it was swallowed. This gave them a feeling that this strange plant wasn’t very valuable.

There was a look of struggle in the black crystal turtle’s eyes. Then he pushed the remaining half of the grass in front of Feng Ming with his claws. This meant that he wanted to share the good things with his master. He wouldn’t eat alone.

This made Feng Ming extremely happy. This was such a treasure. He knew how to share things with his master.

Feng Ming patted his head and turtle shell. “You can eat it all. It won’t be any use if I eat it. Eat it quickly to avoid being discovered.”

If the cultivators outside found out about the situation here, they might slaughter this little turtle and stew him into soup.

Joy flashed in the turtle’s eyes. Then he quickly crawled over, took a few more bites and swallowed all of the remaining plant into his stomach.

The black crystal turtle’s eyes became confused and his head drooped.

Feng Ming quickly picked up the little turtle, patted the dust off him and put him in the spirit beast bag.

It should be that the medicinal power of the strange plant was acting on the little turtle’s body. The little turtle fell into a deep sleep in order to better digest the medicinal powder.

It wasn’t known how long this sleep would last and what changes would happen in the little turtle when he woke up.

Perhaps Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo’s expressions were too calm, so Cheng Miao and Cultivator Zhong always felt it wasn’t a big deal if the strange plant was swallowed by a little turtle.

Moreover, the little turtle also knew how to bear the pain and share it with his master. This made people laugh. They were happy to share it.

Cultivator Zhong also reacted. “This plant is the one that disappeared in the image. I didn’t expect that the black crystal turtle would have such a miraculous effect. I guess the people outside might regret not raising a black crystal turtle and bringing it in if they knew about this.”

Feng Ming shook his head. “I don’t know if other black crystal turtles will have such a reaction. In any case, after arriving, Xiao Jing told me that there is delicious food in this valley and he wanted to eat it. It isn’t easy for him to endure until now.”

Cheng Miao also responded, “No wonder why Xiao Jing was so anxious before.”

AT this moment, a group of cultivators came here to search. They found that Feng Ming and the others had arrived before them and looked over vigilantly.

They wanted to say something, but glanced at Bai Qiaomo and swallowed the words they were about to say.

This was a reaction caused by the fact that there was another strange plant, right? Feng Ming pulled Bai Qiaomo and said, “Let’s go to other places to have a look. Maybe we can try our luck.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

The moment they left, those people started searching vigorously. They didn’t suspect anything even when they saw the hole dug by the black crystal turtle.

Then after staring at Feng Ming’s group for a while, they found that this group was just wandering around the periphery and had to give up.

In the remaining time, a few people picked up two corpses in the valley and quickly stripped everything off the corpses.

Feng Ming participated in this activity with great interest. Once other cultivators saw it and wanted to grab it, Feng Ming stepped back and waved to let Bai Qiaomo go. Bai Qiaomo knocked the opponent back with one move before Cultivator Zhong and the others had time to take action.

Due to this, they picked up a corpse again and divided the storage bags they picked up, one for each person. Whether the storage bags contained good things or not depended on each person’s luck.

Cheng Miao also got one and was very excited. This was more interesting than when he went out to hunt wild beasts with others. In the past, he couldn’t share much of the harvest because he didn’t put in much effort.

He decided to keep this storage bag properly as his trophy.

Apart from those who were truly urgent, the cultivators who stayed in the valley also gradually stopped.

Some cultivators were determined to dig deep into the ground to find the hidden strange plant.

Some cultivators withdrew from the valley. Feng Ming and the others followed the general trend and withdrew outside.

Looking back at the valley, they saw that the scenery was first ruined by the masters of the essence dan realm before being ruined by the fighting of the cultivators below the essence dan realm. Now it was dug into holes by cultivators who weren’t willing to give up. It was really terrible.

“It looks like this. I’m afraid it won’t be able to grow a strange plant like the seven-leaf flower plant any longer. It is a pity.” Cultivator Zhong also regretted it.

Feng Ming said, “Maybe once all the cultivators leave, the environment here will slowly recover in the next few years od decades. Perhaps it will grow again.”

After leaving the valley, they decisively chose to walk out of the mountain range. Their speed wasn’t fast but Bai Qiaomo didn’t look nervous at all.

Through the hints Bai Qiaomo gave him, Feng Ming knew that Mr Shi had been secretly watching them.

His precious grandson was in their group. How could Mr Shi relax and not keep an eye on his grandson to ensure his safety?

So this time, they smoothly returned from the depths of the mountains to the outside. Further ahead was Nandou Town.

Just on the periphery, they saw many cultivators staying here. Every time a cultivator came out, these people would stare at them carefully.

Cheng Miao saw these people and subconsciously wanted to hide behind Feng Ming. Then after thinking about it, he stood beside Feng Ming confidently without avoiding the glances coming towards him.

Feng Ming knew it and asked him in a low voice, “Are there people from the Cheng family here?”

Cultivator Zhong rushed to answer. “It isn’t just the Cheng family. The Lu family and Zheng family also have people guarding here. They should be worried. Can Mr Shi spare them if something really happened to Young Master Cheng?”

Of course, it wasn’t just them. There were also cultivators from other forces aiming for the seven-leaf insect flower plant.

All cultivators who came out of the mountains would be stared at by them and become the object of their suspicion to see if they had a seven-leaf insect flower plant on them.

The moment Feng Ming’s group appeared, they became the focus of attention. The Cultivators from the Cheng family, Lu family and Zheng family scanned these cultivators and found that there wasn’t the person they were looking for. Then they looked away and continued to wait for other cultivators to come out.

Some of these people’s eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness, while others were full of impatience. It was as if they disliked Cheng Miao for causing trouble to them.

If it wasn’t for his grandfather, who would take such a ger seriously? If it wasn’t out of fear of offending Shi Yan, these people would really wish for Cheng Miao to die in the mountains so as to not cause more trouble to them.

The cultivators who came for the seven-leaf insect flower plant looked at Feng Ming’s group critically. Someone wanted to come out from behind to stop them.

It was because among these cultivators, there was no one worthy of their attention. The man named Zhong was just a member of a small mercenary group. They could stop him whenever they wanted.

At this moment, someone shouted from behind, “The Golden Eagle mercenary group is here. Captain Shi is personally leading the group.”

All small movements and little thoughts stopped. Everyone quickly made way and shifted their attention to the people behind. The group of people striding towards them, especially the strong man in the lead, was none other than Shi Yan.

Some people shrank back after seeing him, obviously feeling guilty and worried.

Shi Yan showed a happy expression as he glanced at Feng Ming’s group and waved to one of them. “Miao’er, come to your grandfather quickly.”

Those present were shocked. Cheng Miao was still alive? Cheng Miao came out alive? Where was Cheng Miao?
