Ultimate Martial Divine King

In the gloomy and gloomy dark forest, there was a narrow and winding path, as if it was heading towards the netherworld.    

    

The tall trees on both sides of the path were abnormally lush and the treetops were luxuriant. The verdant and lush treetops were tightly linked, and not a single strand of light could be seen through them. It was clearly daytime, but Chu Hen, Nong Qi, Zhi Shu, and Hua Xue, who were walking here, felt as if they were walking in the evening.    

    

A soft sound suddenly came from their side.    

    

Chu Hen's eyes turned cold as he waved his hand and released a silver beam. The silver light was like a crescent moon, blowing through the air with the force of a wind. With a "hiss", a poisonous beast similar to a lizard that was hidden in the bushes was chopped into two halves.    

    

The lizard struggled as fresh blood gushed out from its wounds.    

    

He swayed a few times and stopped moving.    

    

"There are really a lot of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts here. I clearly used the Rune technique to conceal my aura, but they still keep appearing one after another."    

    

Zhi Shu frowned slightly with a helpless look in her eyes.    

    

From the moment they entered the forest with Chu Hen, they had already encountered at least a dozen waves of ferocious beasts' attacks. Poison ants, giant pythons, blood mosquitoes, and more were basically all dark creatures.    

    

Fortunately, those Demonic Beast were not of a high rank, so Chu Hen easily took care of them.    

    

"Nong Qi, have you found Fuqin's exact location yet?" Zhi Shu asked.    

    

Nong Qi's expression was a little confused. She pondered for a while and said, "I don't know why, but there is an indescribable strange power affecting my perception. The further I go, the stronger that power becomes!"    

    

"Why is this happening?"    

    

Nong Qi shook her head, indicating that she wasn't too sure.    

    

"What kind of power is it? Can you sense it? " Chu Hen asked curiously.    

    

"I can't say it, but I feel that strength has been changing." Nong Qi's beautiful eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Chu Hen and the others. Her red lips parted as she replied uncertainly, "It's as if that aura didn't originate from a human."    

    

It did not originate from the mysterious aura of humans!    

    

After hearing his words, everyone was stunned.    

    

In an instant, the Myriad Beasts Ridge seemed to have become a lot more mysterious.    

    

"It's really worrisome." Zhi Shu sighed softly.    

    

"Don't worry, senior sister Fuqin is so strong. She'll be fine."    

    

Amongst the few of them, only Hua Xue was not worried about Fuqin's problems. She was skipping along the way as if she was sightseeing. Moreover, she actually 'heartlessly' picked up the small flowers by the roadside and grabbed a bunch of beautiful flowers with her small hands …    

    

"The flowers here are so beautiful. Come, Chu Hen, let me give you one as a reward for dealing with so many poisonous insects and snakes."    

    

Saying that, Hua Xue took out a pure white flower that was similar to a white peony and passed it to Chu Hen.    

    

"Thank you. You should keep it for yourself!" Chu Hen answered lazily.    

    

"Don't! This is the first time I'm sending flowers to a man! Come, let me help you put it on, hehe. "    

    

Then, Hua Xue stretched the white flower towards Chu Hen's head. Chu Hen would never agree to something like that. He stepped back and casually pushed away Hua Xue's hand, then accidentally hit the petal.    

    

However, this flower was much more fragile than he had expected. A few petals slowly fell apart.    

    

It was as soft as a feather.    

    

Soon after, a wisp of a strange fragrance wafted out from the scattered flower buds. It smelled as sweet as nectar.    

    

"Wow, it smells so good!" Hua Xue said in surprise.    

    

However, the moment Zhi Shu smelled the fragrance, her expression changed drastically. Without saying anything further, she quickly pushed Chu Hen and Hua Xue away and scattered a ball of white powder. In that instant, a nauseous pungent smell filled their nostrils and quickly covered the fragrance of the flowers.    

    

"It smells so bad. Senior Sister Zhi Shu, what are you doing?" Hua Xue said in dissatisfaction.    

    

The usually gentle Zhi Shu glared at him this time and said reproachfully, "Just now, it was the 'Soul-Reaper Flower'. This is the taste that the 'Soul-Reaper Bee' likes the most."    

    

Just as she finished her sentence, a soft buzzing sound came from the woods. Two or three black spots flew out of the trees on both sides of the road.    

    

Zhi Shu flicked her fingertip and a few fine needles transformed from Spiritual Yi Strength shot out, striking the bodies of the black dots as if they were needles.    

    

A few black dots fell to the ground with a loud thud.    

    

"This is?"    

    

Chu Hen, Hua Xue, and Nong Qi focused their attention and saw that it was actually a few strange poisonous wasps. These poisonous wasps were very big and had colorful bodies. They also had a pair of sharp mouth pincers and a poisonous needle on their tail that was glowing with a dark green light.    

    

What was even more shocking was that even though the wasps had been penetrated, they still continued to struggle tenaciously on the ground. Their guillotine-like pincers kept moving, which was very frightening.    

    

Hua Xue couldn't help but jump in fright as she looked pitifully at Zhi Shu.    

    

"The Soul Shattering Bees are a kind of terrifying poisonous insect, they usually come in groups, their vitality is very tenacious, and even Beast King s would be bitten cleanly by them. They are exceptionally sensitive to the smell of the Soul Shattering Flower, even from miles away, and can smell it, luckily there were only a few that appeared, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."    

    

Zhi Shu's voice held a trace of fear.    

    

Hua Xue was so pitiful that she was about to cry. "I don't know!"    

    

"Then you should be scolded even more. An apothecary has to come into contact with countless kinds of strange flowers and herbs every day, yet you don't even know this?"    

    

In fact, Zhi Shu initially thought that Hua Xue knew about the characteristics of the soulless flower, which was why she didn't say anything.    

    

After all, the most basic method for an alchemist was to identify all kinds of rare and precious herbs. Logically speaking, Hua Xue should know more about this than Zhi Shu, but Hua Xue's mind was filled with the idea of playing along the way. Plus, since she was not on guard, she didn't go out of her way to observe the flower, making her a little careless.    

    

"Forget it, don't blame her. I was wrong too!" Chu Hen said as he saw the wronged look on Hua Xue's face as she remained silent.    

    

Zhi Shu didn't say anything more. Normally, she wouldn't blame others, and it was only because she was feeling a bit anxious.    

    

"Then I'll throw these flowers away."    

    

Hua Xue was just about to throw away the soulless flower, but Chu Hen quickly stopped her, "Don't be reckless!"    

    

Nong Qi and Zhi Shu were also quite frightened. The latter hurriedly said, "Once the Soul Losing Flower is plucked, it would be separated with a light touch and the fragrance would easily spread out. If you casually throw it on the ground, many people would die!"    

    

Hua Xue felt even more wronged now. "I can't just keep it in my hand forever, can I?"    

    

Knowing that these were things that could attract the Soul Shattering Bees, Hua Xue felt as if she was holding a handful of poisonous grass, wishing that she could immediately throw them far away.    

    

Chu Hen smiled helplessly, "Give them to me!"    

    

He took the soulless flower from her hand and threw it into the Storage Ring.    

    

Then he looked at Hua Xue and said, "Isn't that fine?"    

    

The independent dimension within the Storage Ring could block the smell from dissipating. Of course, there were many solutions, and they could even burn it down. However, in Chu Hen's opinion, staying would be of some use.    

    

After a small surprise, everyone continued their journey.    

    

The more time passed, the more poisonous beasts and vicious beasts they would encounter. There were even some lower level Beast King s.    

    

It was a good thing that Chu Hen and the others could handle it. However, they were getting more and more confused. Why would Fuqin come to this kind of place? He was already deep within the Myriad Beasts Ridge, and that unknown strange aura still affected Nong Qi's perception. The further he went, the greater the impact he would have, and at the end, that unknown aura did more than just affect Nong Qi. It even brought about an indescribable fear.    

    

The deep and dark Myriad Beasts Ridge made it harder and harder for people to see through.    

    

Roughly four hours later, a spacious river was placed horizontally in front of them.    

    

It was a river through the woods, swift and cold.    

    

The river flowed from east to west, and the other side was about fifty meters away.    

    

"There might be Demonic Beast lurking in the water. With the three of you in front, I'll cover for you." Chu Hen said.    

    

"En!"    

    

Nong Qi nodded. Following which, she went with Zhi Shu on her left and right, with Hua Xue in the middle.    

    

The three girls moved, flying up like Spiritual Butterfly, heading to the other side of the river.    

    

Chu Hen also stood in the air and followed closely behind.    

    

Under normal circumstances, it was simply impossible for them to cross such a river.    

    

However, this was a place where danger lurked in every corner of the Myriad Beasts Ridge. The more one flew in the air, the easier it would be to become the target of the Demonic Beast. This was also the reason why they were walking through the jungle.    

    

The moment the four of them flashed into the middle of the river, accompanied by the splashing of water, an incomparably huge crocodile suddenly leaped up with a loud sound. It opened its mouth wide, wanting to bite towards them.    

    

The three girls were shocked. They were about to make a move, but Chu Hen said with a deep voice, "Go."    

    

The moment Chu Hen finished his sentence, he turned to the side and disappeared from where he stood like a shadow. Then, he landed firmly on the head of the giant crocodile.    

    

Chu Hen shouted. He stomped his feet on the head of the giant crocodile and a powerful force fiercely pressed down on it. "Thump!" The head of the giant crocodile deeply sunk down as blood continued to spurt out from its mouth and nose. The vicious aura of the giant crocodile was immediately suppressed, and it died in an instant.    

    

The giant crocodile returned to the river. After the three girls, Chu Hen landed on the other side of the river unharmed.    

    

"There really are enough Demonic Beast here." Hua Xue whispered.    

    

Chu Hen nodded, "Let's go!"    

    

However, when they were about ten meters away from the river bank, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from afar.    

    

Everyone revealed an expression of vigilance. Immediately after, a young woman dressed in black came out from the forest in front of them, startling them.    

    

"Senior sister Fuqin!"
