"What legend?" Chu Feng asked.
"Legend has it that deep within the Blood Devouring Formation, the Blood Devouring Worms aren't the only creatures. There's also a very special but very silly and quite interesting creature," Xian Miaomiao said.
"A silly and interesting creature? What is it?" Chu Feng asked curiously.
Chu Feng felt that any creature capable of surviving here had to be extraordinary, and the way Xian Miaomiao described it so mystically, it must be something truly remarkable.
"I'm not sure exactly what it looks like. I only heard from my father that this creature dates back to ancient times, and at some point, for reasons unknown, it hid deep within the Blood Devouring Formation."
"My father also said that the creature is very silly, but it possesses a special power that seems to be of great use to Spirit World Masters."
"Furthermore, this creature can speak from the moment it is born. After birth, it typically takes the first living being it sees as its parent and remains loyal to them for life."
"You just so happen to be an incredible Spirit World Master. If you could encounter this creature, it would be like adding wings to a tiger," Xian Miaomiao said.
"Hearing you say that, I actually hope this legend is true," Chu Feng said with a smile.
In the days that followed, Chu Feng and Xian Miaomiao continued searching for the Ancient Immortal Blossom.
Chu Feng used his Heavenly Eyes to observe carefully, while Xian Miaomiao employed her special sensory abilities to search diligently.
But in the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and the two of them had found no clues at all.
Because she had been focusing her sensory power so intensely, Chu Feng noticed that Xian Miaomiao was growing tired, so he suggested they take a rest.
But the moment Chu Feng suggested resting, Xian Miaomiao collapsed against a large tree beside him and fell asleep. It was clear that the girl was truly exhausted.
Looking at Xian Miaomiao like this, Chu Feng felt a twinge of heartache. Despite her usual cheerful and carefree demeanor, she actually worked very hard. Having spent these days with her, Chu Feng could tell.
"Chu Feng, this isn't working. Is this girl even sure that the Ancient Immortal Blossom is here?" Egg Egg said with some worry.
Because Chu Feng and Xian Miaomiao had been searching here for a full three days, yet in that time, they hadn't even covered one percent of the Blood Devouring Formation's depths. That alone showed just how vast this place was.
Besides, despite the fact that Chu Feng and Xian Miaomiao had the Blood Devouring Armor protecting them, their abilities were still constrained here, preventing them from moving at full speed.
So given the current situation, even if they searched without rest or sleep, it would still take them several more days to cover this place.
But the Blood Devouring Armor's effects had a time limit, and being here, Chu Feng couldn't immediately craft a new one.
So if the Blood Devouring Armor lost its effectiveness, Chu Feng and Xian Miaomiao would die here. That was what Egg Egg was worried about.
"I can sense that the Blood Devouring Armor can last at most about thirty more days."
"To avoid any accidents, Xian Miaomiao and I can only stay here for another twenty days. We have to leave ten days for the escape. If we can't find the Ancient Immortal Blossom within twenty days, we'll have to give up," Chu Feng said.
"Mm, you have to put your safety first." Seeing that Chu Feng had thought this through, Egg Egg was relieved.
However, at that moment, Chu Feng stood up, set up a concealment formation to hide Xian Miaomiao, and then departed on his own.
Chu Feng didn't plan to rest. He didn't want to waste time, so he intended to use Xian Miaomiao's rest to search for the Ancient Immortal Blossom by himself.
However, after searching for roughly two hours, Chu Feng's speed suddenly slowed dramatically, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes.
He hadn't found the Ancient Immortal Blossom, but he had discovered a creature — the only one found here besides the Blood Devouring Worms.
It was a small red worm, about the length of an index finger but very thin, resembling a tiny earthworm.
