Sensing the snakes rushing toward them, the other three people turned pale on the spot, except for An Yufeng. Qing Hong, in particular, went limp and fell on An Yufeng. Barbarian and Blackie were the same. Their bodies went limp and they didn't even have the strength to run away.
Normally, with their mental fortitude, they wouldn't be so overwhelmed even if they were faced with tens of thousands of snakes. However, after a period of heavy pressure, their nerves and minds were already overwhelmed. Moreover, there were densely packed snakes around them, so the three of them directly resigned themselves to their fate and stopped fighting in vain.
When the snakes rushed over, An Yufeng still kept his cool and tried to figure out what had provoked the snakes. When the snakes were only a few feet away from them, An Yufeng suddenly stood up, took out the inner core of the two-winged snake from his pocket, and threw it into the distance.
At the same time, he flicked his wrist and a long sword appeared in his hand. He watched as the Inner Core disappeared into the darkness in the distance. The Celestial Chi in his entire body surged. He would not wait to die, but he also knew that if his guess was wrong, then he was most likely in trouble this time.
Fortunately, his guess was correct. When the inner core disappeared into the darkness in the distance, the group of snakes that had originally emerged from the three of them immediately stopped in place. Then, they surged towards the place where the inner core disappeared like a tide.
An Yufeng felt a lingering fear in his heart. The dense snakes around him were really spectacular, and they were endless. Wave after wave surged towards the inner core. This spectacular scene lasted for about two hours before it disappeared.
When he felt that there were no snakes around, An Yufeng let out a long sigh of relief. Even though he was a mentally strong person, he was still a little afraid when he saw this spectacular scene.
Under the siege of so many snakes, not to mention him, even a King's Realm expert who could fly would definitely die. In the absence of absolute strength, quantity was the king!
Looking down at the three people who had fainted on the ground, An Yufeng shook his head. Although the situation just now was hopeless, the three people's performance was really too bad. It was said that the Sword Sect outer disciple assessment had a test of the state of mind. Based on their performance, the three of them definitely did not pass.
After waking them up, the three of them looked around. When they found that there was no snake, they sat on the ground again and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
"On the path of martial arts, one's temperament is especially important. The performance of the three of you is really too bad.”An Yufeng felt that it was necessary to remind the three of them. No matter what, they had gone through thick and thin together. It would be a good thing if they could improve their mental state.
Hearing An Yufeng's words, the three of them immediately felt embarrassed. They knew that they were too embarrassed. Although the snakes were very terrifying, losing their combat power was too cowardly for a cultivator.
Seeing the awkward expressions on their faces, An Yufeng continued,""I'm not mocking you. You have to know that as a martial artist, if you don't have the courage to survive in a desperate situation, how far can you go on the path of martial arts? Just like just now, that was a desperate situation, but you shouldn't give up. Even if you die, you shouldn't give up. If you don't give up, there's still a glimmer of hope. But if you give up, then there's no chance at all. Let alone the path of martial arts, you'll even lose your lives!”
This was An Yufeng's heartfelt words. Ever since he was sensible, difficulties had followed him like maggots in his bones, but he never gave up. No matter what he did, he never gave up. Even after he was demoted to a servant disciple in the Sword Sect and fell from heaven to hell, he still did not give up. It was precisely because of this mentality that he could live until now.
Hearing An Yufeng's words, Barbarian and Blackie took a deep breath, then stood up and bowed to An Yufeng. Barbarian said seriously,""Thank you. Now I understand why we are so weak. Although it had something to do with talent and cultivation resources, it was more because of our own willpower. If we give up when we encounter difficulties, we deserve to be unable to make a name for ourselves for the rest of our lives!”
Barbarian was speaking the truth, especially after he recalled everything that had happened in the past. He was even more certain that it was his own problem. In the past, he and Xiao Hei, no, it should be said that many people in the mercenary group had the idea that if they were given cultivation resources, their achievements would not be inferior to the sect disciples and the elites of the empire. But now that he thought about it, this idea was really laughable.
Even though An Yufeng's realm was lower than theirs, his strength and state of mind were not something they could compare to.
Qing Hong looked at An Yufeng and then lowered her head. Before this, she had the same thought. If she was a sect disciple, her strength would definitely not be weaker than An Yufeng. However, her and An Yufeng's performance in the desperate situation just now made her realize the difference between the two of them. It was not just the difference in strength.
Seeing that the three of them were a little depressed, An Yufeng comforted them,""I'm not trying to attack you, I'm just reminding you. What you need to do now is to be brave after being humiliated, not to be demoralized. Anyway, you are only in your twenties, so you still have a chance to enter the Innate Realm.”
Barbarian smiled bitterly." Connate?" he said." If I don't have a fortuitous encounter, I'm afraid there's no hope for me in this life."”
Hearing this, An Yufeng stopped talking. Some things couldn't be changed with just a word. Everyone had their own path in life. He just had to follow his own path.
"Oh right, why are those snakes like this?”Qing Hong asked An Yufeng.
An Yufeng didn't hesitate and told them what had happened earlier. He was also puzzled as to why the snakes would attack them.
When she heard Yang Ye take An Yufeng out, Qing Hong frowned and asked,""You, your inner core is in your bosom and not in your storage ring?”
Hearing Qing Hong's question, Barbarian and Blackie looked at An Yufeng. Under their gazes, An Yufeng felt that something was wrong, but he still nodded.
Seeing An Yufeng nod, the three of them had strange expressions. Qing Hong patted his forehead and rolled his eyes at An Yufeng."Little brother, do you know that the inner core is very attractive to Xuan Beasts? The inner core of the same kind can allow them to advance in rank. At first, I thought that you had placed the inner core in your storage ring. I didn't expect that you would only place it in your bosom.”
Hearing this, An Yufeng rubbed his nose out of habit. He glanced at the three of them and said softly,""So, those snakes are here for me?”
The three of them nodded fiercely.
An Yufeng was a little embarrassed. It was his fault. Thinking of this, An Yufeng hurriedly apologized. No matter what, it was his mistake this time. They were almost eaten by the snakes. He had to apologize.
Seeing An Yufeng apologize, the three of them felt a little embarrassed. Although it was An Yufeng's mistake this time, no matter what, An Yufeng had saved the three of them, and it was unintentional. Now that An Yufeng apologized, the depression in their hearts instantly disappeared.
After the grudges were cleared, they started chatting again. This time, the three of them told An Yufeng about their mercenary experiences, such as what they shouldn't do and what they must do. Under the guidance of the three of them, An Yufeng not only learned a lot, but he also felt lucky to be with the three of them.
Training was about fighting to the death and constantly breaking through under threat. This was An Yufeng's original idea, but now he knew that things weren't as simple as he thought. To put it simply, in the Myriad Snakes Forest, if someone did not sprinkle beast king feces while resting, even if the person resting was an innate expert, the result would be tragic.
This was because in this pitch-black Myriad Snakes Forest, once a battle broke out, it would definitely attract countless snakes. Under such circumstances, even an Inborn expert could only die.
There were also many ways to survive in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. These methods had been summarized by countless mercenaries who had sacrificed their lives. An Yufeng memorized these methods very seriously. Although he was here to train, he didn't want to die for no reason.
It was fine to fight the Snake King, but to fight tens of thousands of snakes was not training, but courting death.
After the chaos caused by the snakes earlier, the few of them did not rest. Instead, they chatted until dawn. After dawn, the few of them made some preparations and then continued to set off.
