Chu Feng was excited, originally thinking that the three seeds would not change in the short term, but he did not expect such a pleasant surprise just before leaving.
He was very careful, placing the stone box on the desk and examining it closely.
Inside, the three seeds were buried in the strange soil, roughly visible. The soil was like many jade particles stuck together, very transparent.
Chu Feng saw clearly that the most plump seed was showing abnormalities, emitting a greenish glow, as if the water was overflowing, flowing down from the edge of the stone box.
All the strange phenomena were caused by it!
"Is it about to sprout?" Chu Feng hoped, finally waiting for this day, and it did not disappoint.
He did not expect that the turning point would appear in the stone box.
The stone box was three inches high, cubic in shape, but the corners were slightly rounded as if polished.
It was very ancient, with some faint patterns that were hard to notice without a close look.
"Could the stone box have some mysterious power to make the seeds sprout?"
He did not dare to take the seeds out to test, as he had waited so long for this day. If he took the seeds out now and replanted them, it would be too rash.
Chu Feng was very happy, feeling a sense of joy from the harvest.
The green light inside the stone box flickered for a moment and then stopped, but the strange soil became even more crystalline, with the seed emitting a hazy glow.
Its vitality was growing, but it was concealed by the stone box, which sealed the vigorous force inside, preventing it from leaking out.
"Indeed, there is something strange, the stone box is extraordinary!"
Chu Feng was certain that this ancient stone box had a background. He had overlooked it in the past, and if he had known it was so extraordinary, he would have used it long ago.
Soon, he thought of the Yellow Ox, which had just left, and this change occurred.
If the Yellow Ox knew the current situation, it would probably be so angry that it would kick up its hooves.
After the battle at White Snake Ridge, it had waited here for nearly twenty days without any results.
The stone box was so extraordinary, beyond expectations.
"But, I should leave now!"
Chu Feng frowned; his parents had urged him multiple times, calling him every day, very worried about his safety.
Moreover, when the Big Black Ox left, it had warned that the world would undergo drastic changes, and it was best to make plans early, even returning to Flame Mountain in advance.
"Since I have the stone box, I'll take it with me!" Chu Feng decided to set off.
Before leaving, Chu Feng went to the cold weapon workshop to say goodbye to Old Master Zhao.
"Old Master Zhao, it's not peaceful here, there might be danger. Why don't you come with me?" he suggested.
The old man shook his head, unwilling to leave. His body was now very strong, with immense strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Chu Feng wanted to leave the Great Thunder Sound Bow for him as a means of self-defense, worried about something happening in Qingyang Town.
"Chu, take it with you. If you want to go to Shuntian City, the journey is too long, over two thousand miles. The world is not peaceful, and it's hard to say what might happen on the way."
In fact, Old Master Zhao did not approve of his return, as the journey was too long, and there were many dangerous beasts and birds in various places. Traveling alone was very risky.
But Chu Feng was determined to reach Shuntian City as soon as possible.
Because, Chu Feng had told his parents that he was now very close to Shuntian City, and if he did not show up soon, his previous kind lies would be exposed.
"Chu, take care!" Old Master Zhao saw him off.
Chu Feng then went to the antique shop, giving the key to Uncle Liu and telling him that the freezer at home was full of game meat, not to let it go to waste.
During this time, he had given a lot of game to Old Master Zhao and Uncle Liu, but it was time to leave.
"Chu, you can't travel alone, it's too dangerous!" Uncle Liu was full of worry.
"I have a strange person traveling with me!" Chu Feng said goodbye.
He left Qingyang Town and headed north.
Now, he could cover a hundred meters in just one second, moving at an incredible speed. He took a few steps, and soon he was dozens of miles away.
But this speed could not last long; it was too fast, and his body heated up from the intense movement. If he continued for too long, it would cause problems.
However, Chu Feng did not stop immediately; he continued to run to see his limits. On the way, he was like a gust of wind, with sand and stones flying.
As time passed, he began to slow down, gradually becoming slower. Steam rose from his head, and his body was scorching hot.
An hour later, Chu Feng stopped.
"I've run about two hundred miles."
This was an astonishing speed; if it were known, it would cause a huge stir. The human body was so powerful, almost as fast as a vehicle.
"Covering a hundred meters in one second, but only for a short time, it's hard to maintain," Chu Feng shook his head.
If he maintained that speed throughout the journey, it would be terrifying.
He was sweating a lot, and the intense exercise was very draining.
After walking slowly for over an hour, he felt somewhat recovered and started running again, still very fast, with the wind whistling in his ears.
Along the way, various scenes receded.
In the past, this would have been considered superhuman; how could the human body be so fast?
The road was still there, even if some parts were not paved, there were still dirt roads connecting. Otherwise, it would be impossible to run so fast in the mountains.
The speed was too fast, and it was easy to collide with rocks or large trees.
This time, Chu Feng ran for about forty minutes before stopping. His skin was very hot, and his body had turned red, with a lot of steam rising, indicating significant energy expenditure.
"I can't travel like this!" Chu Feng felt that the load was too heavy, and if he encountered any dangerous beasts, his physical condition would be a problem.
Given his physical condition, walking hundreds of miles a day was easy, without any fatigue.
If he exhausted his energy running, the distance he could cover would be terrifying, but there might be unexpected events.
The journey was very desolate, with few signs of human habitation for dozens or even hundreds of miles.
In the past, this would have been unimaginable; before the world changed, there were no such vast uninhabited areas.
In some places, there were many trees, and the mountains occasionally echoed with the roars of beasts.
An hour later, Chu Feng was walking at a steady pace when he suddenly felt a strong wind and a large shadow covering the sky.
With a swoosh, he darted out over ten meters, fully utilizing his superhuman physique to leave the spot.
A large black and white bird landed, its claws hitting the ground, causing soil and rocks to fly and a strong wind to rise.
Chu Feng was stunned; the bird was over five meters long. If not for its size, it would look exactly like the magpies he had seen before.
Clearly, this was a mutated magpie with extraordinary strength.
Old Master Zhao and Uncle Liu's concerns were justified; the journey was very dangerous, with various strange beasts and fierce birds. If an ordinary person traveled, they would surely die.
This magpie was very fierce, taking off and then diving, even more ferocious than eagles or hawks. It extended its large claws, aiming for Chu Feng's skull.
If it caught him, there would be several bloody holes; its claws were sharp and powerful.
Chu Feng dodged, and his figure was already ten meters away.
A tree as thick as a barrel was snapped by the magpie, showing its incredible strength.
"Are all these strange beasts and fierce birds so strong?" Chu Feng frowned, observing the magpie's abilities to see how powerful it was.
He found that it was more difficult to deal with than an average strange person. In a direct confrontation, this magpie could likely kill several strange people.
Clearly, this magpie had intelligence not inferior to humans. After several failed attacks, it decisively gave up and tried to fly away, fearing a crisis.
"I'm hungry, I haven't had lunch yet, so you can't leave." Chu Feng flicked his wrist, and a black short sword flew out, piercing the magpie and causing it to fall.
Soon, smoke rose from the area as Chu Feng roasted the mutated magpie, though only part of the meat and wings, as the bird was too large to eat entirely.
The meat smelled delicious and was perfectly cooked, but before Chu Feng could enjoy it, a stench filled the air, and a monster emerged from the mountains.
It was as big as a truck, completely black, covered in spines, and looked very fierce.
Chu Feng was stunned; this mutation was too absurd. A hedgehog had grown to such a size, revealing white fangs as it charged forward.
Just a few meters away, the giant hedgehog suddenly stopped and let out a loud roar.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
From its body, one after another, black spines flew out like arrows or iron spears, densely and sharply, heading towards Chu Feng.
When Chu Feng, holding the roasted meat, quickly dodged, the area where he had been was pierced by the spines, and large trees were penetrated. The black spines were incredibly powerful.
"Even hedgehogs are this strong?"
Chu Feng was surprised; this creature could shoot its spines to kill enemies.
An average strange person would definitely not be able to defend against it!
He did not engage in close combat and did not want to waste energy. He took out the Great Thunder Sound Bow and shot an arrow through the hedgehog's head, causing its massive body to fall with a thud, blood flowing.
Chu Feng's expression was serious; he realized that the world had completely changed, becoming increasingly dangerous, and ordinary people could not travel in the wild.
After a hearty meal, he immediately left the area. Not far away, he heard low, deep roars from behind.
Several monsters appeared, rushing forward to gnaw on the magpie and hedgehog corpses, a bloody scene.
"Strange beasts are becoming more and more numerous!" Chu Feng frowned, feeling a heavy heart. This was no longer the world he knew; the wild was becoming increasingly dangerous, with various strange beasts and fierce birds appearing.
Jiangning, located in southern Jiang, was very prosperous and one of the largest cities in the country. The headquarters of Tian Shen Biology was here.
The Bihuwan villa area had an excellent environment, with many large trees that required several adults to encircle, lakes, and scenic rocks, surpassing many tourist attractions.
Inside a standalone villa, it was opulent and meticulously decorated, like a palace.
Xu Wanyi sat on the sofa, sulking, and then threw the cushion to the ground with a thud, her usually sexy face showing a cold expression.
Lin Yeyu walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Wanyi slightly restrained herself, biting her red lips, and said with displeasure, "No matter what, I am Noi's aunt, but she spoke to me coldly and rudely."
"Noi is very smart and generally wouldn't be so impolite," Lin Yeyu was surprised.
Xu Wanyi, with her phoenix eyes and bright red lips, was usually very charming, but now she had no smile. "I was very sad about Wanclear's death and wanted to investigate who killed her. Just as I started to take action, Noi accused me. I am her aunt, yet she spoke to me so harshly."
"What did you do?" Lin Yeyu frowned, knowing that Lin Noi generally wouldn't act this way.
"Last time, when we went to see that Chu Feng, I didn't think much of it at the time, but after we returned, I felt something was off, so I sent people to Shuntian in the north to investigate his parents..."
She glanced at Lin Yeyu, seeing him slightly silent, and her tone softened, "I know that Chu Feng and Noi had some past, but she shouldn't have scolded me like that."
"Did you send those people to harm Chu Feng's parents?" Lin Yeyu asked.
"Of course not! We just made contact. Noi somehow got the information and immediately scolded me, and contacted people in Shuntian to drive my people away." Xu Wanyi was angry.
"You shouldn't have gone after his parents. If there's something wrong with Chu Feng, you should target him directly," Lin Yeyu said.
"Why are you so biased towards Noi? She scolded me, and you're blaming me." Xu Wanyi was dissatisfied but quickly softened, walking over to hug Lin Yeyu's arm, "Alright, I was wrong. I was a bit rash this time."
On the journey, Chu Feng called his parents, telling them he would meet them in three or four days.
During the call, he noticed that his mother's mood was off, and she seemed distracted.
"Mom, what's wrong? Did something happen?" he asked.
"Nothing, just come back quickly. The world is not peaceful, and both your father and I are very worried about you. You didn't lie to us, right? You're really close to Shuntian?"
"I'm almost there, don't worry." Chu Feng felt something was wrong at home.
"Dad, tell me, is something wrong at home?" Soon, Chu Feng called his father, asking seriously.
Finally, his father told him, no longer hiding.
Today, they were threatened and intimidated, and those people even tried to take them away.
"Who are they?" Chu Feng asked.
"They seem to be some strange people, with some special abilities," his father told him.
Chu Feng gripped the communicator, his eyes cold. He feared this kind of thing the most and wanted to return immediately.
Because, he keenly sensed that this was likely aimed at him.
These strange people dared to target his parents, and he was extremely angry, as it touched his sore spot.
"Later, some people appeared and drove those strange people away. We are very grateful to them," his father told him.
"Dad, Mom, don't be afraid. Those people won't appear again for now. I'll be back soon!" Chu Feng ended the call.
He put away the communicator, his eyes emitting a startling light, filled with intense anger
