Chapter 297 - Exploring The New Area
Luo Zian didn't even get a chance to react as he plopped to the ground, dead.
His corpse was surprisingly landed next to Peng Tian, the one who he had just killed a few minutes ago.
Zhu Wenqian kept a calm demeanor without turning back.
"I have spared you from dying to the Killer Bees, you can save the thanks since I'm too generous." Zhu Wenqian then said as she walked toward the corner and laid down.
"Yang Wei, let's sleep already." Zhu Wenqian said as she echoed Yang Wei to go back to sleep.
Yang Wei scratched his head as he decided to burn the corpses with his alchemy flame to prevent any foul smell from spreading.
Once the corpses were completely burned into ashes, Yang Wei retracted his alchemy flame..
Afterward, he walked toward the corner and laid down next to Zhu Wenqian.
"How much of an actress are you?" Yang Wei said as he looked at the ceiling.
He was awestruck by Zhu Wenqian's prowess but at the same time, he was dumbfounded by her change.
From a frightened little girl, Zhu Wenqian was able to turn into a real devil- one that doesn't even bat an eyelid from an extreme gore scene.
"I'm not an actress, Yang Wei." Zhu Wenqian denied Yang Wei's comments about her. "I'm just a normal queen, one that would get angry when disturbed."
Yang Wei twitched his mouth.
Her definition of angry was toying with a human's life until she had played enough.
Sometime later, Yang Wei heard a loud snoring noise and was in disbelief.
He turned his body around and noticed Zhu Wenqian was fast asleep. She was rubbing her stomach around with her hand, completely nullifying any dignity of a queen.
"S-Seriously…" Yang Wei smiled bitterly as he covered his ears with spiritual qi to negate the snoring sound from disturbing him.
Afterward, Yang Wei slowly closed his eyelid as he fell asleep.
Time slowly passed by as Yang Wei woke up from his deep slumber.
"You're up early…" Yang Wei said as he noticed Zhu Wenqian exercising.
"Heh, my body was a bit sore yesterday from overusing my healing technique." Zhu Wenqian replied.
"I shouldn't have recovered their injuries much since it was such a waste of my Saint Qi," she added.
Yang Wei shook his head as he still couldn't comprehend Zhu Wenqian's behavior.
For a mere disturbance in her slumber, she was willing to go through extra miles just to get revenge.
Sometime later, Yang Wei tidied up his clothes as he retrieved some items he got from Luo Zian and Peng Tian.
"Hmm, it seems like these are cultivation techniques." Yang Wei mumbled as he grabbed two different manuals.
Yang Wei opened the manuals as he scanned through the technique before showing a disappointed gaze.
The technique wasn't anything special nor did it contain any secret technique from the Burning Sword Sect.
"I seriously wondered how they managed to escape the Anguished Fog with their upbringing." Yang Wei sighed as he stopped checking over the items.
"Anyway, what are we going to do now, Yang Wei?" Zhu Wenqian asked once she finished her morning exercise.
Yang Wei pondered for a few moments.
"We'll need to search our surroundings to check where we are." Yang Wei said.
And he continued, "Staying on this cliff to avoid the Killer Bees isn't a reliable method in the long run since we would run out of food sooner or later."
Zhu Wenqian nodded her head.
She agreed with Yang Wei that staying inside the cliff is no different than waiting for their death.
Although the Killer Bees are deadly, it doesn't mean they couldn't avoid them or fight against them.
It was simply troublesome to fight multiple swarms of Killer Bees in one go as that would drain their stamina and qi rapidly.
"When do we leave then?" Zhu Wenqian asked.
"Right now." Yang Wei said. "Killer Bees are still bees in the end and they are only most active in the early afternoon."
"Your meaning is that this is our chance to move around without being hindered by the Killer Bees?"
Yang Wei nodded his head.
"If we want to be safe and avoid the Killer Bees, we can only move in the early morning until the afternoon." Yang Wei said.
"Then what are we still chatting here for?" Zhu Wenqian shouted coldly as she dashed toward Yang Wei and dragged his arms.
"Let's hurry up our movement." She added.
Sometime later, Yang Wei and Zhu Wenqian left the cliff as they admired the beautiful landscape.
Now that they have gotten a clear look since they weren't being chased after by Killer Bees, the scene in front of them was simply too peaceful.
"So beautiful…" Zhu Wenqian muttered in disbelief. "Not even the Saint World has this kind of beautiful sight except for its gloomy environment."
Zhu Wenqian continued to admire the scenery without realizing Yang Wei's expression continued to worsen.
'Damn it, we're really not in the Misty Forest anymore.' Yang Wei cursed inwardly as he noticed the terrain and structure are completely different.
"Zhu Wenqian, do you sense the spiritual qi around this area seem to be denser?" Yang Wei decided to ask Zhu Wenqian if she had felt any difference compared to the Misty Forest.
Zhu Wenqian decided to close her eyes to feel the density of the spiritual qi after hearing Yang Wei's question.
Her expression changed when she realized the spiritual qi seemed to become more concentrated and better than before.
"Haha, what is this new change?" Zhu Wenqian said blissfully. "I can utilize this spiritual qi to recover faster now."
Yang Wei twitched his mouth at the carefree attitude of Zhu Wenqian.
"Let's explore the new area now, Zhu Wenqian." Yang Wei said, stopping her from being overly excited about the spiritual qi being more concentrated and better.
"This new area might be the reason for the rumor."
"What rumor?"
Yang Wei glanced at Zhu Wenqian as he held a solemn expression. "Rumors of the Anguished Fog being extremely deadly where people can only enter but never come out again."
