146 The five goddesses are complaining endlessly!
Bibi Dong was quite efficient; as soon as Chu Feng finished speaking, she had already arrived behind the group of men in black, flinging out her sleeves.
Two long white fabric strips shot out from her sleeves, breaking through the crowd to bind and pull the two people back just as they were about to fall.
The group of men in black were furious, roaring, "Where did this rat come from, daring to interfere in our business!"
"It seems you are truly full of yourselves," Bibi Dong sighed. All six of her spirit bodies opened simultaneously, and with a slight vibration of her consciousness, these people were all sent flying over a hundred meters away.
Sealing power was gushing out continuously, not as if it were swallowing something, but as if it were about to be broken through; Chu Feng's spiritual energy resonated with it.
Those men in black originally wanted to take out the Black Dragon Orbs they had used at the assembly, but they were instead backfired upon and swallowed by the orbs; the power here was truly sinister.
For three helpless individuals, trying to engage in a full battle or make a full retreat did not seem like an easy task.
Chu Feng was currently pinned down in the swamp, the silt beneath his feet binding him tightly, accompanied by a magical force pulling at him; it seemed the demons underground were becoming restless.
Bibi Dong shouted, "Brother Xu, what should we do now?"
"Take those three and avoid this place first. I'm going to see what kind of monsters are beneath this swamp." Chu Feng intended to face it head-on.
Ah Yin tried to stabilize her balance and hurriedly said, "I'll throw the furnace to you." Then, the Phoenix Plate Furnace flew from her hand.
Bibi Dong wanted to say more but there was no time; the entire swamp began to liquefy, and many demons had already poked their heads out.
She moved quickly to relocate the three. Since Ah Yin and Zhu Zhuqing were seriously injured and could barely even sense spiritual energy, she could only do as Chu Feng said.
Looking at the skulls emitting blue flames beneath his feet, Chu Feng directly stomped on them with his right foot, which could still move; as a result, both feet dragged his entire body down into the swamp.
The surface of the swamp appeared full of sludge and filth, but inside, there seemed to be the shadows of towers.
Chu Feng felt somewhat suffocated. Since he couldn't climb up, he deliberately burrowed deeper until his vision cleared, though the feeling of suffocation grew more severe.
He thought that if he were to just fall asleep and die like this, the heavens wouldn't allow it.
Strange fish-headed monsters gnawed at Chu Feng's legs, and the pain woke him from a momentary faint.
"So I'm still alive," Chu Feng lamented.
Those blurry towers were actually real. Not only that, but the swamp was merely a layer of floating debris above the towers; the underground was an entirely separate region.
The monsters poking their heads out turned out to be low-level infected demons stuck in the protective barrier between the swamp and the underground World; their spiritual energy wasn't strong enough to pass through the barrier.
Chu Feng was just about to calm down and prepare to land on the ground to stretch his limbs.
As soon as his left foot touched the ground, a huge spike shot up. Fortunately, he had the Qiankun Cover protecting his body, otherwise Chu Feng would have been skewered into a sieve.
Spikes about a meter high covered the entire ground, and many invisible black chains became visible, connecting all the towers like a complex spider web.
There was simply no good place to move around.
Chu Feng pulled himself together. Bibi Dong probably wouldn't be coming for a while. Looking up from underground, the swamp above was still shaking violently, and the space had shifted somewhat, which would likely waste some of her time.
After groping around underground, Chu Feng's gaze remained fixed on the towers; they were somewhat similar to the Seven-Story Soul-Locking Tower that Song Liu had given him before.
The towers were a grayish-white mixed with gold, likely due to age; the time since this architecture was last repaired was definitely more than just a few decades.
To be precise, it had to be at least a thousand years, because even the vegetation on the towers had developed demonic energy; achieving this required a long period of accumulation.
Chu Feng wasn't here on a sightseeing tour, so he didn't actually care about those things. His main focus was the hundreds of dense, incantation-like markings on the towers.
Perhaps this is the seal!
It seemed that as the swamp shook, these seals were also slowly peeling off.
The roars of monsters and the sounds of fighting came from inside the buildings.
The outside was wrapped tightly, so Chu Feng wasn't sure what wonders lay within.
He tried calling out, "Is anyone there?"
The next second, the entire air went silent.
A second later, the demons immediately began to scream hysterically.
"Save us!"
"Kid, I want to taste your flavor."
"I want revenge."
...It seemed no one was answering Chu Feng directly, which made him a bit annoyed.
"You pieces of trash who have been locked up here for hundreds of years, what the hell are you shouting for?" This sentence was quite in character for Chu Feng.
The monsters naturally wouldn't take that, even causing the entire tower to shake.
"When we get out, we're going to kill you."
At the same time, Chu Feng's stomach growled again. He had originally planned to wait until he entered the Heavenly Prison to eat these demons all at once, but these guys just had to provoke him.
Chu Feng activated the Five Elements Universe Cover and slowly expanded it until it covered the entire underground World, intending not to let a single one escape.
Additionally, he wanted to test the power of the Soul-Locking Tower, so he took it out as well, just in case he couldn't win or needed to store some dry rations inside.
He truly was a foodie, being so calculating.
The seals on these towers were like tissue paper to Chu Feng's Extreme Spirit Body; with a gentle bump, a huge hole appeared in the tower.
Thick demonic energy quickly leaked out. Instead of targeting Chu Feng, these demons rushed quickly toward the swamp above.
Freedom was their only goal right now.
However, Chu Feng had already cut off their retreat; that cover was not something they could break through.
Some monsters with insufficient demonic energy turned directly to ash upon touching the golden light of the cover.
Chu Feng, however, frantically continued to destroy the remaining towers. He wasn't in a hurry to eat; he had to wait until all the 'ingredients' were gathered.
The ground was piled with broken bricks and tiles from the towers, and thousands of monsters swarmed out.
When all the demons realized they couldn't escape, their gazes focused on Chu Feng, who was wreaking havoc; they hadn't tasted the flavor of a human in a long time.
The most primitive impulses of the monsters swelled at this moment: they wanted to skin Chu Feng alive. This was also the moment for them to bid farewell to these humiliating days.
The demons quickly formed a united front and even chose a leader among the minions, the Ghost Fish Spirit.
Chu Feng had some impression of this fellow. According to the scriptures, twenty years ago, it was a squid that had cultivated for a thousand years on the West Age Immortal Mountain, where the Queen Mother was said to reside.
However, later, as sewage was poured into the mortal realm, its physical body was destroyed, and it possessed a fish.
Having a background and having touched immortal energy, it seemed it did indeed have some talent.
