Chapter 71: Wicked Peddlers (1/2)

“All right, all right. Let’s not go into that issue first. For now, let’s discuss how to let you recover. Earlier, you absorbed the Water of Life and managed to recover some of your strength, right? If I can find more Water of Life, you can recover even more of your strength. So, when that happens, you will be able to help me find more materials, right?” Chen Feng suggested.

“Not a bad idea. If there is a lake’s worth of Water of Life, I will be able to recover more of my magic powers. Then, I will be able to utilize my magic abilities and secret techniques,” said Tower with the same tone of solemnity.

“An entire lake’s worth of Water of Life? I didn’t get that wrong, did I?” Chen Feng cried out in response.

“Just getting that little spring earlier had nearly killed me!”

“You can also take out some magic treasures for me to fuse with. Magic treasures are created using various rare materials. They contain spiritual attributes and can be used to repair the wounds on my body,” said Tower.

Wounds on my body. As expected, it would appear that the one speaking is indeed the little tower of mine. How unexpected. To think that the magic treasure has attained awareness. Chen Feng noted.

“I do have some Magic artefacts with me,” said Chen Feng.

“You are talking about those broken goods, aren’t you? Those items are just rubbish. I would suggest you to find a place and sell them off. There is no point in keeping them,” said Tower.

As Chen Feng conversed with Tower, he was suddenly visited by a feeling that Tower was talking more and more. Additionally, his words contained a teasing tone. Chen Feng felt as though he was conversing with a living person.

“Then, what about the Overwhelming Astral Sword?” asked Chen Feng again.

“That sword qualifies, if not barely. However, you will likely need ten or eight of those just to repair one of my wounds,” replied Tower.

“If that is how it is, you might as well wait until I have cultivated up to the Immortal stage,” answered Chen Feng as he pursed his lips to the side.

“That’s fine too. After talking so much, I am feeling tired. I will need to enter deep sleep. If there is anything good nearby, I will give you a call.” After saying that, Tower fell into a state of silence.

“Kid, I did not expect you to possess such a treasure. It has actually developed awareness. Let’s make a deal. Release me and I promise I will not be your enemy. Rather, I can even give you some benefits,” the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm, who had calmed down, started to converse with Chen Feng.

“Have you gone stupid? Release you? Do you think of me as an idiot? Just be good and stay here,” said Chen Feng with a roll of his eyes.

“What is the point of imprisoning me here? Not only do you gain nothing, you have to waste your energy instead. Are you not afraid that I will break free one day?” threatened the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm.

“You said it yourself. One day, you will break free. As long as you cannot break free today, that’s good. If I release you, I will probably die immediately. Unless my strength has surpassed yours, you should just be good and stay here, all right?” said Chen Feng with a smile.

After that, Chen Feng turned towards the Four-eared Spirit Monkey. Due to its long imprisonment there, the yao beast’s aura had weakened considerably. Even so, Chen Feng still dared not let it go. Although the Four-eared Spirit Monkey’s level was not high, Chen Feng’s investigation led him to believe that it was also a variant type. Even though its cultivation base was currently low, its future accomplishments was limitless.

“From this day forward, you will be called Four Ears and you Purplebolt. You will become my generals in my future conquest for the world. For now, just stay here and hone yourself for a bit. Cultivate your minds. It will be beneficial for you,” said Chen Feng with a smile. Ignoring their howls, his figure flashed out of the Longevity Tower.

After exiting the tower, Chen Feng was overcome by shock. The scenery outside had changed. Before entering the Longevity Tower, they had been standing within a sea of flowers, a very beautiful sight. At present however, thick smoke rolled about in front of his eyes. Evil winds blew, accompanied ceaselessly by thunder and lightning. Various monstrous roars could be heard.

“What happened?” Looking at the nearby Ye Ziming and Lu Ta, Chen Feng asked. The two of them looked pale as they sent out wave after wave of potent energy streams out from both hands. Immediately after the energy streams shot into the surrounding thick smoke, shrill cries could be heard from amidst the smoke. It was an ear-piercing and devilish sound, causing goose bumps to rise all over their bodies.

“We are surrounded by Wicked Peddlers,” said Ye Ziming gravely. The smile that was constantly on his face was no more.

“Wicked Peddlers, what are those?” asked Chen Feng as he observed their surroundings.

“Wicked Peddlers are actually a variant type of bats. They have a tendency to group together. After surrounding a cultivator, they would suck all the blood off the cultivator and eat up all the flesh. Not even bones would be left behind. It is strange though. How could there be such creatures here?” said Ye Ziming with a frown.

“If I hadn’t quickly set up a spell array, there may be nothing but scraps left of us now. Of course, it may be possible for you to stay alive while inside the tower,” Ye Ziming suddenly said with a smile.

“So, they are just a group of bats,” said Chen Feng, not thinking much about it.

“A single Wicked Peddler is indeed weak and can only be considered as a yao beast of the lowest level. However, do you know how many Wicked Peddlers there are outside? There are at least 10,000 of them! As the saying goes, even a swarm of ants can kill an elephant. With so many Wicked Peddlers swarming forward, even Concealed stage cultivators would have a hard time escaping. Unless, of course, if that person is a Sky Human stage expert,” said Ye Ziming.

“At least 10,000? Tsk tsk! We have yet to recover. This is probably not good. Don’t you have your spatial array? Hurry up and use it!” said Chen Feng.

“Do you think I don’t want to? Firstly, I don’t have the time to set up the spell array for it. Secondly, I don’t have that much magic power,” said Ye Ziming with a wry smile. Next, he pulled out a sword and charged into the thick smoke. It did not take him long to return, his whole body drenched in blood.

“Huh! I had just killed over 100 Wicked Peddlers. Unfortunately, there are just too many of them. I fear that my spell array will be broken through soon,” said Ye Ziming.

Right after he said that, a “bang” sound could be heard. Smoke billowed as thunder and lightning rumbled. Next, a swarm of Wicked Peddlers charged in.
