Chapter 91: Chapter 91: No Shortage of Wine, Meat, or Women

One person spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, glowering at Lin Feng with venom, before breathing his last.
Revenge?
Perhaps.
Lin Feng scoffed disdainfully, directly stimulating the Demon Dragon Star. In an instant, the ethereal shadows of two Sixth Grade Stars appeared above their corpses.
"Two Sixth Grade Stars, if I devour them, the Demon Dragon Star should be able to leap into the Sixth Grade in one effort!"
Lin Feng immediately activated absorption. Before long, a burst of light exploded from the Demon Dragon Star, and then, its ethereal shadow became clearer and more distinct. Some dragon scales even appeared vividly lifelike. Only now did it look somewhat like a dragon species, as previously it looked more like a strange snake due to its thinness.
Then Lin Feng absorbed their blood essence, collected their Storage Bags and the sky-blue grass, and strode away.
"Sixth Grade Stars are still too weak. In Divine Wind Camp, the mainstream are Seventh Grade Stars, and stronger ones are at Eighth Grade. The top-notch one is Yu Wen Tuo’s Ninth Grade. Truth be told, Yu Wen Tuo indeed has remarkable talent, considered the highest cultivation talent among the Hu Ben King’s several princes."
Lin Feng wove through the forest, silently contemplating. Those two he killed were from a small action team under Seventh Prince, clearly out to collect Demon Cores for the Seventh Prince. What the latter was doing, Lin Feng did not know.
However, since the opponent’s small team was here, this indicated that the Seventh Prince’s main force was not far from here. But Lin Feng had no intention to look for them, as the opponent’s side was surrounded by formidable experts without any doubt.
"Continue the slaughter, strive to break through to Seventh Grade with the Demon Dragon Star. After all, compared to the un-upgradable Shield Bone Dragon, my Demon Dragon Star is the ace, the true trump card."
Lin Feng silently recited in his heart.
A Ninth Grade might be somebody in Hu Ben Country, but in the Great Thousand Domain, that counts for nothing, not to mention when compared across the entire mainland.
After Ninth Grade comes the Xuan Grade, where the division into Three Stars begins. Even within the Xuan Grade, a One Star is much inferior to a Three Star, with a rigid hierarchy and a brutal reality.
Therefore, Ninth Grade is not an endpoint, but a starting point. From then on, many powerful stars will appear, and Lin Feng’s Shield Bone Dragon would have no advantage. If it had any, it might be because the opponent was a Dragon-type Star, which could potentially provide a far stronger boost than an ordinary Ninth Grade.
But after all, the Shield Bone Dragon is merely a Sub-dragon Species, a very remote category among dragon species.
Compared to the Demon Dragon, a Flying Dragon Species, it is far inferior; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been simply at Ninth Grade.
Of course, among Dragon-type Stars, the strongest is said to be the legendary Ancient Dragon Species. Compared to flying dragons like Mo Yu Demon Dragon, they are far more powerful.
...
Ten miles away from here, Yu Wen Tuo was sitting cross-legged on a piece of tiger skin, surrounded by over twenty people guarding him on each side.
"Seventh Prince, we’ve found it. It’s not far ahead, there indeed is a cave!"
Yu Wen Tuo suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light bursting forth, sending a shiver through everyone, such a strong presence.
"Good. Have the entire army attack and head to the cave. Once there, wait for my command!"
"But, Seventh Prince, should we recall the small teams that went out hunting Demon Beasts?"
Yu Wen Tuo waved his hand: "No need. We have enough people here to explore the cave. Additionally, leave a few people to guard the entrance. If anyone else tries to enter, kill them without mercy!"
"Yes!"
Everyone’s response was in unison as the group marched forth robustly, following close behind.
...
Lin Feng found a safe little cave and directly refined the two stalks of Sky Blue Grass, but his cultivation did not break through. At his current realm, it was no longer as easy to make rapid breakthroughs as before.
However, Lin Feng estimated that he had reached the peak of the Sixth Layer, and it wouldn’t be long before he could step into the Seventh Layer.
"Let’s see what good stuff those two guys have in their Storage Bags."
Lin Feng opened the two Storage Bags; most of the contents were Demon Cores of First Rank Demon Generals, each worth about ten points. Altogether, the two Storage Bags had about thirty or so combined. Apart from that, there were common items such as Detoxification Pills and the like.
Apart from that, there was a roll of parchment.
"Could it be another Treasure Map?"
Lin Feng spread the roll of parchment on a large rock to flatten it, but strangely, the parchment was blank, with nothing on it.
Lin Feng frowned. It couldn’t be possible. Why would someone keep a blank piece of parchment in their Storage Bag? Maybe to use as toilet paper?
Suddenly, Lin Feng remembered something and immediately lit a bonfire with a Fire Stick. He then toasted the parchment over the fire, and sure enough, in the next moment, something changed. The originally blank parchment began to reveal a simple map.
"It really works. It’s drawn with bristle pig’s bile. It requires heating with fire to reveal the writing. It’s a method often used among assassins and spies to pass messages to each other, but could there be some important message hidden on this parchment?"
Lin Feng curiously looked at the parchment. An ordinary person would indeed think it was just for wiping and would discard it, but it couldn’t fool Lin Feng.
Upon closer inspection, he revealed a strange expression. The terrain of the mountains drawn on it was none other than the mountain range he was in right now.
In a certain place, there was a big question mark, and Lin Feng wasn’t too far from the location marked with the question mark.
"Interesting. Could it be that Yu Wen Tuo is at this place?"
Lin Feng’s thoughts raced, connecting all the dots at once. Why would Yu Wen Tuo’s people appear nearby? It wasn’t a coincidence; there must be a intricate connection with this place.
"If that’s the case, why not take a look? Maybe I could even wipe out Yu Wen Tuo."
A glint flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If there was a chance to take down Yu Wen Tuo, he definitely wouldn’t miss it.
Thinking this, he gathered the parchment and immediately headed towards the location marked with the question mark.
Upon reaching the destination, Lin Feng found that this place was a sunken pit with winding paths, completely unknowable in depth, dark and ominous, as if the end of the pit was the Ghost Gate itself.
However, outside this pit, there were six young warriors chatting leisurely.
"Hey, what do you think is inside this pit?"
"Who knows? Since even the Seventh Prince is eager to go down, there must be something good. We shouldn’t worry too much; just do as the Prince commands."
"True, but following the Seventh Prince, our future is bright."
"As they say, follow the Seventh Prince and you’ll never lack wine, meat, or women!"
"What a poem, what a poem!"
The several young warriors were in high spirits, laughing and joking around.
