This was a grotesque, skeletal wooden monster, about half a meter tall, that staggered as it walked, emitting that unpleasant sound.
They were hollow inside, appearing to be simply pieced together from wood, with only a gleam of red light on their heads.
"They are withered wood skeletons, not weak. Be careful!"
At this moment, Luo Bing Shuang's reminder came from beside him. As she spoke, she took out a short sword about twenty centimeters long, carved with patterns, from her embrace.
Then, with a slash forward, the withered wood skeleton was instantly split into a pile of scrap wood by her.
"What a sharp dagger, you brought a weapon?" Ye Feng was startled, somewhat surprised. He had thought this woman's abilities were related to condensing ice!
Of course, what shocked him most was that Luo Bing Shuang's attack just now did not use any spiritual energy, only pure physical strength.
And with just physical strength, she could split this withered wood skeleton with one strike, which was why Ye Feng called her dagger sharp.
Hearing this, Luo Bing Shuang immediately said speechlessly, "This is the spiritual weapon I obtained in the ancient space just now, called the Moon-Shattering Spirit Sword!"
"So that's how it is!" Ye Feng then showed a look of realization. He wondered why this woman brought a weapon; it turned out to be the spiritual weapon she had just obtained.
He just didn't know what level it was, but judging by its sharpness, it should be at least a spiritual weapon of a certain grade.
Like medicinal herbs, spiritual weapons were also divided into grades. Any spiritual weapon of grade, even the lowest first grade, was far beyond comparison to ordinary artifacts.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but become curious about the grades of the red bead he had just obtained and the Water-Stabilizing Bead.
Ye Feng was temporarily unaware of the red bead's abilities, but judging by the Water-Stabilizing Bead's spatial stagnation and water-controlling abilities, the grades of these two beads were definitely not low.
As for the Sea God's Trident, Ye Feng didn't need to think about it; it was definitely a spiritual weapon, and its grade could only be high, otherwise, it wouldn't have allowed him to grow to this point.
While he was thinking, Luo Bing Shuang suddenly exclaimed from the side, "Be careful, these things won't die unless their core fire is extinguished!"
As she spoke, the withered wood skeleton that Luo Bing Shuang had just shattered into pieces stood up again, almost unchanged from before.
The only difference was that the red flame on its head had dimmed slightly. This should be the "core fire" that Luo Bing Shuang mentioned!
However, judging by the dimness, it would take about ten more kills to completely consume it.
This made Ye Feng speechless, but the next second, he didn't hesitate. He immediately threw a punch and shouted, "Since that's the case, then we'll just kill it a few more times!"
However, the next second, to his surprise, his fist was firmly imprinted on the withered wood skeleton, and then... nothing else happened!
"Damn it, what hard wood, and why isn't this guy moving?"
Ye Feng's eyes widened in confusion. In this attack, he had listened to Luo Bing Shuang and did not use his Sea God's power, only his physical strength.
He had thought that since Luo Bing Shuang could split the withered wood skeleton with one strike, and their cultivation levels were similar, he should be able to do the same.
But now it seemed he had thought too much. Without a weapon, he really couldn't deal with this thing.
At this moment, seeing Ye Feng's punch fail, the withered wood skeleton let out an even more ear-piercing sound and swung a claw towards Ye Feng.
Although it was made of wood, as it swung, Ye Feng could clearly feel the cold glint on it. Without a doubt, if he were hit, he would be at least severely injured, if not killed.
"Damn it, it seems I really need to use a weapon. Trident, come out!"
Ye Feng quickly roared, and the Sea God's Trident appeared from his brow. Then, gripping the handle with one hand, he held the Sea God's Trident horizontally in front of him.
*Clang~*
A crisp sound of metal clashing echoed. The withered wood skeleton's claw struck the Sea God's Trident, and the next second, Ye Feng was sent flying backward, his aura fluctuating.
"Damn it, such immense strength. This guy looks weak, but his physical strength has reached the Grandmaster realm!" Ye Feng said, leaning on the trident for support and gasping for breath.
A Grandmaster realm withered wood skeleton, without using Sea God's power, even with the trident, felt difficult to deal with.
"Mm!"
Luo Bing Shuang nodded in agreement.
As soon as she finished speaking, the remaining withered wood skeletons on the side also rushed towards the two of them and attacked simultaneously.
Seeing this, Ye Feng's expression darkened. Just as he was deciding how to deal with these monsters, the next second, Luo Bing Shuang's spiritual energy erupted, and she turned into a phantom, slashing at the withered wood skeletons.
She was at the mid-stage of Grandmaster realm, and with the spiritual weapon in her hand, these withered wood skeletons were instantly shattered by her.
After doing this, she didn't rest. She immediately went to the bodies of the withered wood skeletons, and then her spiritual energy flowed out, surrounding the core fires on their heads.
Then, Ye Feng witnessed a miraculous sight. The core fires, which had only dimmed slightly, were immediately extinguished and finally disappeared before his eyes.
"This, you can do this?"
Ye Feng's eyes widened in surprise. He had thought it would require repeated kills, but he didn't expect the core fire could be directly extinguished with spiritual energy.
Also, he clearly remembered this woman saying earlier that if she could avoid using spiritual energy, she would, so why did she use it herself first?
If he had known this earlier, why bother with his fists? He could have just finished them off in a few blows.
However, he soon realized he was thinking too much again. After Luo Bing Shuang quickly extinguished the core fires, she immediately turned and fled into the distance.
"Hurry up, spiritual energy is taboo in this place. Once it appears, it will attract the attention of all the monsters here. It's not safe!"
Before she finished speaking, her figure had already vanished from the spot, moving so fast that Ye Feng almost couldn't react.
However, the next second, he had no time to think. He immediately kicked off the ground and fled into the distance, his speed no slower than hers.
And the moment he left, the scene behind him completely shocked him.
In less than ten seconds, in the place where they had just stood, countless fires of various colors lit up.
Counting them, he was shocked to find over a hundred points of light, like stars scattered across the sky, illuminating the entire Silent Soul Land.
"Holy crap!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim in a very common Chinese idiom. At this moment, he finally understood Luo Bing Shuang's words about not using spiritual energy if possible.
This stuff really couldn't be used carelessly, otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.
"Where do we go next? We can't just run around like this!"
Along the way, Ye Feng couldn't help but ask. At this moment, he was very grateful that this woman had come down with him. Otherwise, relying on himself alone, he would have been terrified.
Hearing this, Luo Bing Shuang didn't say much, but simply uttered a sentence that shocked Ye Feng...
