Ling Feng felt strange because when he first entered the Abyssal Depths, he hadn't detected this summoning call, but this time, standing at the edge of the Misty Forest, he heard the call.
Moreover, Ling Feng had a feeling that he should follow this summoning call!
Whoosh! Ling Feng suppressed the impulse in his heart; he knew nothing about the Misty Forest, and if he ventured deep inside recklessly, who knows what might happen.
"Forget it, let's complete the task first and make some money!" Ling Feng exhaled and then waved his hand, causing fourteen powerful figures to appear before him.
These fourteen puppets were the ones Ling Feng had refined after eliminating the Thunder God Alliance, and each was at Mid Divine Sea Realm.
Although the tasks on the bounty hunter board are quite difficult, that is for the average person; for Ling Feng, who possesses fourteen Mid Divine Sea Realm puppets, it's a piece of cake!
He engraved the task from the board into the minds of the fourteen puppets, and then they vanished into the Misty Forest.
Ling Feng could discern the movement within a radius of several tens of kilometers through puppet control, which was very safe for him.
"This Abyssal Depths is really large! Apart from the vast Imperial Capital, there's such a vast Misty Forest too!" Ling Feng mused.
Even though the Misty Forest was shrouded in dense mist, Ling Feng noticed the flora within was rich, filled with giant trees and shrubs, but strangely, there were no chirping birds or insects around.
"Why does it feel like there's no life presence in this Misty Forest? Could there really be those Monster Beasts?" Ling Feng pondered inwardly.
Suddenly, one of the puppets sent a message—approximately fifty kilometers ahead, there was lingering battle aftermath!
Ling Feng rushed forward and upon arriving, he indeed found traces of battle, but when he arrived, the battle had already ended!
Judging from the scene, it wasn't a battle between humans and Monster Beasts, but rather more like a battle among humans!
"It seems, aside from dangerous demon creatures, the humans in this Misty Forest are even more dangerous!" Ling Feng thought to himself.
Moreover, from the battle scene, the fight started swiftly and ended quickly; the other side didn't even have time to effectively counterattack before being dealt with by the opponent.
Sighing, Ling Feng continued forward, and after traveling over a thousand kilometers into the Misty Forest, he finally found traces of Monster Beasts, which were stronger than those outside the Misty Forest.
However, before Ling Feng's fourteen powerful puppets, he quickly eradicated this small group of Monster Beasts.
"These Monster Beasts harbor a very strange power!" Standing before them, Ling Feng stroked his chin, murmuring: "This power should be why these Monster Beasts are different from those in other places!"
Kneeling down, Ling Feng suddenly slapped one of the Monster Beasts' heads, causing it to explode and expose a red-glowing crystal core.
Ling Feng picked up the red crystal core, feeling the surging power within, inhaled deeply, and with the Dragon God Technique running inside him, he absorbed the power from the red crystal core directly.
Once Ling Feng absorbed the power within the crystal core, it turned into a pile of powder and scattered into the air, while Ling Feng closed his eyes, feeling the power from the crystal core.
The power of the red crystal core contained a trace of the scorching Power of Fire, and inside that Power of Fire, there was even a hint of darkness, which surprised Ling Feng.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze showing a thoughtful glint.
"The power within this Monster Beast crystal core is pure, but unfortunately, it contains too little power. If there were enough crystal cores, I might even elevate my realm to Late Divine Sea Realm!" Ling Feng thought regretfully.
Using crystal cores for cultivation, even disciples from major families wouldn't dare to be so extravagant.
Under Ling Feng's command, the puppets collected all the crystal cores and handed them to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng waved his hand, "Let's move on!"
The Misty Forest was vast; Ling Feng advanced thousands of kilometers, only barely skimming the outskirts, and during this time, Ling Feng felt no other human presence, easing his vigilance somewhat.
Soon, five days passed, and Ling Feng's harvest was bountiful; with fourteen Mid Divine Sea Realm experts working simultaneously, the efficiency was unparalleled.
"Now let's hunt down a Unihorn Demon Serpent and extract the horn from its head!" Ling Feng mused, "Unihorn Demon Serpents usually favor shady locations with water sources, so... I need to search for nearby water sources!"
However, just at this moment, Ling Feng suddenly noticed he lost contact with one of his puppets.
"Huh? What's going on? One of my puppets disappeared, could it have been slain?" Ling Feng pondered.
But Ling Feng quickly dismissed this idea; his puppets were at Mid Divine Sea Realm, and if someone could eliminate them silently, then the person must have a cultivation level above the Azure Sky Realm!
Ling Feng didn't think an Azure Sky Realm expert could be lurking around here; it was more likely his puppet wandered into some area, causing separation from his Divine Sense!
If that's true... Ling Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, suggesting that the puppet entered a mysterious place, which likely meant potential unexpected gains!
Ling Feng promptly gathered the other thirteen puppets, heading toward where the missing puppet went.
A few minutes later, Ling Feng arrived in a valley, where deep inside, a purple cloud layer loomed, with lightning flashing within, eerily silent.
"What on earth is this?" Ling Feng frowned.
Ling Feng pondered slightly and moved toward the valley; he vaguely felt that beneath the cloud layer, something remarkable must be happening!
As Ling Feng approached, his body felt suddenly tense, as if something was pressing down, followed immediately by the sound of thunder and lightning!
"Is this... a Realm Within a Realm?" Ling Feng's eyes gleamed with astonishment; he finally understood why he couldn't sense the puppet's presence—because it accidentally wandered in here, a self-contained realm where external Divine Sense couldn't penetrate!
"Gulp!" Ling Feng swallowed, his face filled with excitement, feeling like he had stumbled upon something extraordinary this time!
