The escort agency took over the helm, and Chu Feng and others had already returned. At this time, he was sitting in the living room, asking the woman sitting upright below.
This woman was none other than Ai Nian. Unexpectedly, she was like him and ended up in this world.
"I don't know either. You and Zheng Qingqing both left and never came back. Xiaoxue and I were worried, so we went out to look for them, and then we appeared here in a daze."
"Xiaoxue, you are saying that Xiaoxue may also end up here!"
Chu Feng's expression suddenly changed and he could no longer maintain his composure. The little sister was just a child. If she really came to this world, depending on her situation, there was a high possibility of disaster.
"Well, it shouldn't be." Seeing his concerned look, Ai Nian's heart skipped a beat for some unknown reason. He paused and then continued,
"I couldn't find you, so Xiaoxue and I had to settle down for the time being. I came to this world inexplicably on the way back to my room."
"That's right."
Chu Feng's expression softened slightly, but he was not completely reassured. Several people came in a little strangely. Who knew whether Xiaoxue would have the same experience.
"What about you? Why did you become the slave of the Nightmare clan again?"
"It's my bad luck." Ai Nian sighed, looking a little bitter.
"When I arrived in this world, I happened to appear in the wilderness where the Nightmare people live, and then I met a returning slave-catching team, so..."
Ai Nian did not continue, but Chu Feng already understood what the other party meant. The reason why the other party was captured may have been a coincidence at first. However, seeing that he was good-looking, he simply took the wrong one and sold him as a slave.
However, according to rumors, the slaves of the Nightmare clan must be professionally trained and tamed before being put up for auction. The other party, like him, has not been in this world for a long time, so it obviously does not fall into this situation.
This was not a pleasant memory. Although Chu Feng had some doubts in his heart, he did not continue to ask questions to avoid arousing the pain of the other party again.
"Will you leave me?" After a while of silence, Ai Nian suddenly asked again, his expression full of anxiety.
"What are your plans?"
"I...what plans can I have? Even if I regain my human identity, I won't be able to survive in this strange world." Ai Nian smiled bitterly, raised his hand and subconsciously touched his neck, where there was also a dark black stripe.
The ribbon is exactly the same as the Qingyue sisters.
"Control the collar?" Chu Feng paused and then said,
"Come here first and let me see if I can take it off?"
"No, I don't want to take it off." Unexpectedly, Ai Nian covered her fair neck with both hands and shook her head in refusal.
"..." Chu Feng was a little surprised. He didn't understand what the other party was doing. Isn't it bad to have freedom? You have to carry something like this with restraint.
"I was bought by you, and I will be yours from now on. If you take the collar away, you...you won't want me anymore." Ai Nian said it seriously, with a trace of determination in his eyes.
.
"What are you talking about? As long as you are willing, I will not leave you." Chu Feng suddenly understood, and at the same time he also burst into laughter. The other party was extremely scared, so he had such a strange idea.
With that said, he got up and walked towards the other party. He was really interested in this kind of collar that could control the freedom of others. Especially in this world, the refining techniques are very different from those of cultivators.
"Okay, I will open your collar and I won't leave you alone."
Wen Yan comforted him for a while, and finally made the other person feel relieved. However, although the other person let go of his hands, he still hugged her tightly to his chest and did not completely let go.
The appearance of the control collar is in the shape of a black ribbon, like a unique accessory. From the appearance, it does not affect the appearance, but reveals a touch of alternative charm.
The ribbon was like a tight hoop, clinging to the opponent's neck without any gaps. Chu Feng observed it carefully for a while, then stretched out his palm and lightly pressed on the surface of the ribbon.
After a moment, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes. Then, his fingertips suddenly lit up with a faint light, and suddenly fell into the ribbon.
"ah--"
But at this moment, Ai Nian suddenly screamed, as if in extreme pain, and subconsciously raised his hands.
However, Chu Feng did not let go of the opportunity. His five fingers quickly changed and he formed a strange magic formula in an instant. He penetrated the inside of the ribbon again. In the next moment, his five fingers flashed at the same time and gently touched the ribbon.
The ribbon broke automatically and fell downwards.
He stretched out his hand and the ribbon was instantly taken into his palm. Only then did Chu Feng truly observe its true appearance.
"It's actually a living creature!"
Looking at the ribbon in his hand, Chu Feng was filled with surprise. He had felt it when he used his spiritual sense to detect it before, and now he was even more sure that the ribbon was indeed a living thing. Where it broke, there were hair-like threads.
, at this time, it was twisting wildly like a snake, which was extremely weird.
"Is it okay?" He turned to look at Ai Nian, looking at his pale face, and asked.
"No...it's okay"
"Release your hands and let me see."
Ai Nian nodded and then let go of his hands again. His neck was slender and fair, and very beautiful. However, there were some undetectable red spots in some areas, and there was faint blood oozing out.
"It's really vicious."
Chu Feng couldn't help but shake his head. How could he not see that these red dots were left by the control collar? They were probably bitten out when he had just forcibly untied it. It was also because he had magic power and was quick enough, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
.
He has a new understanding of the weapon refining techniques in this world. He actually uses a special formation to refine certain living spiritual insects into artifacts. This method is similar to the methods of some demonic monks in the world of cultivation.
Somewhat similar.
As he spoke, a green light suddenly lit up in his palm, and it gently stroked the other person's slender neck. The next moment, those fine red dots disappeared.
"You're tired too. Let's go down and rest for now. We'll talk about anything later." Chu Feng retracted his palm and ordered.
"I'm not tired, I don't want to leave you..."
"Be obedient and rest assured. I will not abandon you."
Seeing that the other party was obviously worried and reluctant to give up, Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh. The other party was no better than him. He had enough means of self-protection, and he was able to persist until now without collapse, which was already quite good.
After a while, Ai Nian followed Qingyue and left behind. At this time, Chu Feng looked at the ribbon in his hand again.
The principle of this thing has been clarified, and there is actually nothing special about it. However, the control array used in it still has some value.
This formation is actually able to absorb some unknown black energy from heaven and earth on its own, which is used to maintain the vitality of spiritual insects.
He studied it carefully for a while and found out that this black energy was very strange. It was extremely polluting and could directly affect the soul of living beings. It was really not simple.
"Fortunately, the amount of this thing is not large, otherwise it would be really troublesome." Chu Feng was secretly shuddering in his heart, and at the same time, he was also a little confused. How could such evil energy exist between heaven and earth? He had never discovered it before.
…
"Brother Liu, Mr. Chu, and everyone else, please take care of yourself along the way."
"Brother Zhou, take care. See you soon."
Outside Kuangsha City, Chu Feng and his party were about to leave. Captain Zhou and a group of stewards from the helm came to see them off in person. After saying goodbye to each other, the escort team set off again in a mighty manner.
Chu Feng was riding on the Nightmare Suppression Horse and glanced at a carriage behind him inadvertently. Inside were Ai Nian and Qingyue, the sisters Qingyu.
Liu Chengfeng made no secret of his intention to win over him. Not only did he advance him a large amount of money, but he also gave away these two extremely beautiful sisters, which was considered to be a great effort.
It has to be said that this method is extremely effective. Even if Chu Feng has objections to some of his actions, he will not feel too much ill feelings.
However, it is better not to owe something like favor, otherwise it will be very troublesome to repay it in the future. He has once again refined a large number of 'Everlasting Orbs', and will sell them one by one on the way.
Money will no longer be an issue.
After all, they had left the desert, and the escort team's speed greatly accelerated. They passed several cities along the way, but they only stayed for a short time and replenished enough supplies before setting off again.
During this period, Chu Feng also took action on his ‘Eternal Brightness Orb’ one after another at the right time, and harvested a large amount of gold coins. For this reason, several more carriages had to be added to the escort team, so that they could all be taken away.
"How long is it until Baiyun City?"
"This is the Forest of Mist, which is already considered the border area of Yunhuang Kingdom. After passing through, you will reach Qinglong Pass, and after a few months' journey, you can reach the foot of Baiyun City."
Near a stream somewhere, the team was taking a break. Chu Feng glanced at the surrounding dense forest, and suddenly there was a strange color in his eyes.
This is what Liu Chengfeng calls the Forest of Mist, a vast and dense forest. The trees in it have grown for a long time, and huge ancient trees that can only be embraced by several people can be seen everywhere.
The fog in the forest was clear and the visibility was extremely low, which caused a lot of troubles for the team's progress. What's even more strange is that the fog is not the common white, but colorful. If Chu Feng hadn't personally tested it, he would have thought that it contained something violent.
toxicity.
In this regard, Liu Chengfeng explained that this phenomenon is a unique landscape of the Mist Forest and does not cause much harm. It is just a sight to see and there is no need to take it seriously.
"Mr. Chu, my wife has invited me." At this moment, Xiaoyue suddenly came over. The person she met was one of Mrs. Wei's maids, but she hadn't seen him for a while.
"Mrs. Wei, what does she want from me?"
Chu Feng had some doubts in his heart. Since leaving the desert, there has been less interaction between the two parties. After all, they are female relatives, and it is not easy for him to disturb them too much. However, apart from him, sisters Ai Nian and Qingyue often see each other.
Now we have become more familiar.
Some thoughts flashed through my mind, but I didn’t refuse and replied directly,
"Lead the way."
Mrs. Wei's location is upstream of the creek. It is much cleaner than other places. It has obviously been carefully cleaned. There are many maids and servants following her, so this kind of thing is not difficult.
Chu Feng followed Xiaoyue to this place and saw Mrs. Wei standing alone by the creek. The maids and servants were not following her.
Mrs. Wei is only in her thirties, and her figure, appearance, and demeanor are both top-notch. She has a slender waist and plump hips, long hair like a waterfall, and a luxurious dress that vaguely reveals a strange charm.
"Madam, Mr. Chu has arrived."
"You go down first."
Xiaoyue was extremely respectful, bowed slightly, turned around and walked away.
"Madam asked Chu to come here, but what's the important matter?"
"Why, I can't make an appointment with you if I don't have anything to do? Or is it because my wife's appearance is so bad that I bore Mr. Chu?"
As Mrs. Wei spoke, she turned around, revealing a beautiful face that was both angry and happy. It was obviously carefully dressed up, and the other person at this time was even more beautiful than usual.
Mrs. Wei always gave him the impression of a dignified and decent lady, but this sudden naughty girlish attitude made him a little uncomfortable.
"Madam has a dignified appearance. How can Mr. Chu be bored with her? It's just that her image today is really a bit unexpected."
"Really, comparable to your three stunningly beautiful little maids?"
"Spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums each have their own merits."
"Slippery." Mrs. Wei rolled her eyes at him, then smiled sweetly and said,
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. This time we meet, I have something I want you to help me with. Of course, I will thank you very much afterwards."
"Ma'am, why don't you tell me what it is?"
Chu Feng didn't agree to anything right away. It didn't matter if it was a little effort, but if it was too troublesome, he wouldn't agree to it no matter what.
As for the profuse thank you from the other party, he didn't even care. Suddenly, he suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to owe him a heavy gift, but now he has not honored it.
"Young Master Chu has not yet repaid your life-saving kindness. Now he asks you to help, but it's not my fault." Mrs. Wei was so smart that she instantly noticed the perfunctory words in the other party's mouth. However, she didn't seem to notice it.
Then he said,
"Can Mr. Chu be able to get rid of the control of the Soul-eating Insect?"
"Soul-eating worm?" Chu Feng was startled for a moment, and then he thought of something.
"It's the control collar refined by Shang Zong. Its real subject is the Soul-Eating Insect, a strange spiritual insect that lives in the Forbidden Abyss." Mrs. Wei nodded and added,
"Many years ago, people from the Shangzong accidentally found this kind of spiritual insect. After research, they discovered that this insect can not only pollute the spiritual intelligence, but also swallow the soul. It is extremely terrifying.
It was originally planned to destroy it immediately, but someone raised objections. This kind of spiritual insect is too rare and is most likely an ancient thing. It would be a pity to destroy it. It is better to cultivate it so that it can be used for other purposes."
"So we have a control collar?" Chu Feng said suddenly.
"Exactly." Mrs. Wei nodded,
"However, the control collar is only one of the most superficial applications. The real horror of the Soul-eating Insect is that it has extremely strong plasticity. As long as it is guided by a special formation, it can form a variety of things.
.In today’s continent, there are too many strange objects that are closely related to it.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Wei suddenly raised her arm and opened her sleeves, revealing a forearm as white as jade. However, somewhere on the forearm, there was a strange flower pattern like a tattoo, which was extremely conspicuous.
