Volume 1 Chapter 35: The Life-Saving Elixir of Wu Xing Jian Zong

  From the corpses on the ground, it can be seen that many of them seemed to have fallen to death. The last two who fell down obviously knew that there was danger above the stone wall and could not climb up. However, they did not come down and continued to climb up desperately.

  This made Jiang Feng and others very puzzled. Jiang Feng also suddenly felt a sense of unease. He thought these people shouldn't be crazy, but there must be some reason that forced them to do so. It was this unknown reason that made Jiang Feng feel uneasy.

  "Save... save me... Dan... Dan medicine..." A very weak voice suddenly appeared.

  Following the sound, about a dozen meters in front of Jiang Feng and others, next to two corpses, a thin monk was prostrate on the ground, stretching out his hand towards Jiang Feng.

  Seeing someone alive, Jiang Feng quickly walked over. The others also hurriedly followed up.

  On closer inspection, this person didn't have any wounds on his body, but he looked very weak. Just like someone who was seriously ill.

  "What happened? Are you in danger? Why are those people climbing up the rock wall, don't they know it's dangerous up there?" Jiang Feng asked a string of questions.

  Kanashi, however, did not want to answer Jiang Feng's question at all, and instead kept talking about saving him with elixirs and the like. His hands were still tightly grasping Jiang Feng's pant legs, tugging on them.

  "Now that cultivation is restricted, the storage bag can't be opened at all. There's a medicinal pill in there for you." Xue Dao said with a helpless expression.

  That person was still there, talking non-stop and getting weaker. Jiang Feng suddenly had an idea, squatted down and said: "What you're saying is that the elixir was found in this place."

  At this time, the person was already so weak that he could only make a humming sound with his mouth and couldn't say a complete word. But when he heard Jiang Feng's words, the man's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded desperately.

  Jiang Feng quickly took out three elixirs from his bosom. These elixirs were obtained in this place. The person saw the elixir in Jiang Feng's hand and wanted to take it, but at this time he couldn't even lift his hand.

  He took a dan medicine and put it in the person's mouth, and pried open the person's jaw to make him swallow the dan medicine. Afterwards, Jiang Feng and the others just quietly watched. At the same time, Jiang Feng also occasionally glanced at the dan medicine in his hand.

  In less than a minute, the person who was originally on the verge of death suddenly turned for the better. The emaciated body also became plumper at this moment. This scene shocked everyone and made Jiang Feng's unease heavier.

  "Thank you!" The man said as he got up from the ground.

  In the process of crawling up, it seemed that the corpse under him was stirred. The man had only crawled halfway when he fell over towards Jiang Feng. Seeing this, Jiang Feng, who was squatting there, hurried to support him.

  "Sorry, I'm really too weak." The man said, grabbing Jiang Feng's shoulder and clothing as if to borrow strength from him to stand up.

  Just as Jiang Feng was about to say "it's nothing, just a small matter", the man's eyes suddenly lit up and his face turned ferocious. The hand grasping Jiang Feng's shoulder tightened its grip. At the same time, the other hand quickly moved towards Jiang Feng's body.

  After a dull hum, the man's head fell back. At his Adam's apple, a dagger was inserted, directly stabbing into the man's brain. And this dagger was exactly what Jiang Feng had obtained from the monk who was previously knocked unconscious by him, and it was also held in Jiang Feng's hand.

  "I saved you, not because I'm a good person, nor does it mean I'm easy to bully. It also doesn't mean I'm not vigilant." Jiang Feng said as he drew out his dagger.

  Yue Zi Feng and his brother were both stunned, unable to understand why Jiang Fan had just saved someone's life only to suddenly kill them. But when Jiang Fan pushed the man's body over, they saw that on the man's right hand, at some point he had grabbed a sharp tree branch. And the man's previous movements had clearly been intended to use this branch to stab Jiang Fan to death.

  After killing the person he had saved, who was now trying to kill him, Jiang Feng stood up, lowered his head and looked at the dan medicine in his hand. The unease in his heart grew heavier. He couldn't stop thinking about what made this dan medicine different.

  The reason why that person wanted to ambush Jiang Feng was obviously because of the medicinal pill in his hand. What exactly happened that made him do this? And what happened that made him become so weak? And why could this medicinal pill cure that person?

  Just as he was worried about what was on his mind, the two brothers behind him, Yuezi and Feng, suddenly started breathing rapidly. And both of them showed a dizzy expression. Jiang Feng felt weak all over before he noticed that something was wrong with the people behind him.

  "What's going on? Why am I suddenly so tired, why have I become so weak all of a sudden?" said the Blood Blade with an equally precarious tone.

  The four of them sat down on the ground one after another, their expressions becoming increasingly listless and their bodies weaker. Everything about them was just like that person from just now.

  "There's something wrong with the formation here, take this pill quickly." Jiang Feng said hastily.

  Regardless of what others thought, Jiang Feng quickly swallowed a pill from his hand. The moment the medicine took effect, Jiang Feng's condition immediately improved. Others also hastily pulled out their own pills and swallowed them after seeing Jiang Feng eat one. They too quickly recovered.

  "What's going on? Why have we become so weak, as if we're about to die?" Yue Zifeng said somewhat anxiously.

  Jiang Feng stood up, first looking around at the surrounding corpses, then raising his head to look at the upper part of the stone wall. He seemed to be muttering to himself: "I understand now."

  Turning his head, Jiang Feng said to the others: "This maze has a special formation that restricts our cultivation. Now it seems that this formation not only restricts our cultivation but is also gradually taking away our lives. Only the elixirs that appear here can alleviate our situation. This also explains why those people risked their lives to grab an elixir. It also explains why these people knew there was danger above, yet still risked their lives to climb up."

  Upon hearing this, everyone else felt a chill in their hearts. Yue Zifeng hastily said: "This means we must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise, we're dead for sure."

  Jiang Feng slightly shook his head and said, "Leaving this place is not that easy. What we should be worried about now, apart from other cultivators, is how to find a way out. I think the closer we get to the center of this place, the more likely it is that there will be an exit, but the stronger the array's power will also be. The elixirs in our hands are probably not enough to sustain us until then."

  "Why say that? Perhaps you are mistaken." said Yue Zihai.

  With a faint smile, Jiang Feng said helplessly: "At the beginning, we were walking away from the place where the Dan furnace appeared. Have you ever seen any cultivators who would risk their lives for a single Dan medicine without having any cultivation?"

  The other three people all shook their heads, and Jiang Feng continued to say: "When we found that there was no way out far away from the place where the Dan furnace appeared, we moved forward towards the place where the Dan furnace had appeared. Not long after, we saw a cultivator who was desperately fighting for a dan medicine. There were also many people who died on the road. They could be so desperate, obviously they already knew the importance of the dan medicine. So why did they know? Did they see through the formation? Or is there something wrong with their bodies? I think it's more likely that there's something wrong with their bodies. Then why did their bodies go wrong before us? This is likely to be related to the location."

  "So, the closer we get to where the Dan furnace appears, the stronger the formation's power is. If we move further away from there, won't we be able to gain more time and maybe even avoid being affected by the formation?" Yue Zihai said, his face filled with longing as he looked at Jiang Feng. It seemed like he really hoped Jiang Feng would agree with his idea.

  Before Jiang Feng could speak, Xue Dao's face turned solemn and he said: "It's impossible. The only way to the edge of the maze is to slowly exhaust ourselves to death. The only way out is to find the real exit. Think about when these elixirs appeared, and you'll understand. I'm afraid this place is just a trap."

  This is also what Jiang Feng wanted to say. Since the appearance of Xia Guang, there have been elixirs flying out. Until now, only elixirs can save lives. Moreover, such elixirs also exist in the maze. This place may indeed be a trap.

  Yuezi Peak and his brother were both very nervous, somewhat at a loss. At this time, Jiang Feng was just about to say let's act quickly, when he saw two monks walking towards them from the ends of the road, each holding a staff in their hands. Their target was clearly Jiang Feng and the others.
