Chapter 484 - 301: Unity of Heaven and Man

Gazing at the "giant cocoons," Zou Feng’s mind raced.

If he succeeded, he could truly make a killing.

Even if he only devoured the poisonous creature from a single giant cocoon, his Five Poison Skill or Great Universal Hand would soar in power.

But the risk was too great. It was unrealistic to think there weren’t exceptionally powerful insect monsters guarding this place.

He feared he might have the life to earn the fortune, but not to spend it...

’Wait, I could never have monopolized these treasures by myself anyway!’

’I can’t handle them, but the True Disciples certainly can.’

’The whole point of exploring the Outer Realm is to find valuable things. Otherwise, why go through all this trouble and mobilize so many people?’

Thinking this, Zou Feng immediately took out his Token and activated its messaging function.

It could not only transmit voice messages but also send a live video feed.

Normally, the few True Disciples leading the teams would be swamped while exploring the Outer Realm.

Unless most of the exploration teams ran into danger, the True Disciples would likely ignore calls for help from just one or two squads.

But if something of value was discovered, that was another matter entirely.

For instance, these giant cocoons were immensely valuable. Even if the True Disciples couldn’t use them, they could bring them back to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect and exchange them for a massive amount of Immortal Fate.

In short, if he notified the True Disciples about this, they would absolutely rush over at top speed.

With the True Disciples as a safety net, the danger he might face would naturally be greatly reduced.

Moreover, Zou Feng was contacting his "investor," Jiang Wanzhao, which would provide an extra layer of security.

Sending the message also sent his location to Jiang Wanzhao.

Before long, the Token vibrated. Jiang Wanzhao replied with two words: "Stand by!"

Seeing this, Zou Feng breathed a small sigh of relief. Thankfully, this cavern didn’t interfere with the Token’s messaging function.

For Jiang Wanzhao to reply so quickly, they must have already dealt with that giant "jellyfish" in the sky.

But Zou Feng wasn’t just going to stand around and wait.

When Jiang Wanzhao arrived, his safety would be guaranteed to a certain extent.

But he wouldn’t necessarily be able to make a huge profit—at best, he’d get some scraps.

So...

The next moment, Zou Feng stuffed the near-dead Xiaolv back into his robes, then extended his hands and interlocked his fingers.

Only his two middle fingers were left straight, pointing directly at the nearest "giant cocoon."

According to his senses, the poisonous creature inside this cocoon was still relatively far from maturity.

Therefore, he didn’t need to worry about a backlash from it.

Soon, a faint, deep red light began to gather at Zou Feng’s fingertips.

It had been a long time since Zou Feng had used the sniping ability of his Crimson Poison Needle.

The cocoon’s shell looked unremarkable, but its defense was definitely maxed out. Otherwise, the poisonous creature gestating inside would be far too unimpressive.

It all came down to this!

The Crimson Poison Needle had to break through its defense; otherwise, he would have no choice but to flee with his tail between his legs.

After all, Jiang Wanzhao had said to stand by, but no one could say exactly when she would arrive.

What if she encountered a powerful enemy along the way...

The "Poison Needle" finished forming. The phantom image of a blood-red Poison Hook flickered in and out of existence.

The next instant, Zou Feng’s eyes hardened, and he fiercely launched the "Poison Needle."

A terrifying beam of red light, like a bolt of crimson lightning tearing through the void, shot toward the giant cocoon.

CRACK!

With a sharp sound, the giant cocoon shattered on impact, like a balloon pricked by a needle.

’Success!’

After the giant cocoon burst open, an insect monster larva was finally exposed inside.

This thing bore a striking resemblance to the previous Ant General.

But its color was different.

The previous Ant General’s shell was gray.

But the ant monster larva from the cocoon was jet-black.

At the same time, the larva began to howl miserably.

The Crimson Poison Needle had not only destroyed the cocoon but had also pierced through the larva’s body.

But it had just started to howl when an irresistible pulling force sucked it away against its will.

It was Zou Feng, wasting no time in reeling in his catch.

Apparently, attached to the Crimson Poison Needle was the "Love That Can Stretch and Contract at Will," another skill he hadn’t used in a long time.

This was the equivalent of tying a fishing line to the hook.

The larva struggled with all its might, but it was completely useless.

The poison on the Crimson Poison Needle was no joke. The fact that the larva wasn’t killed instantly was a testament to its insanely high poison resistance.

In just a few moments, reflected in the larva’s despair-filled eyes, Zou Feng’s savage face grew closer and closer...

SKREEE—

Amidst its mouse-like squeals, the larva was already in Zou Feng’s grasp.

Giving the insect no chance to even breathe, Zou Feng suddenly squeezed with all his might, crushing its body in one go!

Then, he instantly began the Refinement.

Of course, Zou Feng didn’t forget to share some of this poison with Xiaolv, who hadn’t completely breathed its last yet.

Everything happened so fast that the ant monsters below didn’t even have time to register what had occurred, let alone try to stop him.

The moment the Refinement began, a tremor instinctively ran through Zou Feng’s body.

His mind went into a momentary trance.

The impact from this poison was so immense that it actually caused him to lose focus.

But after this brief daze came a wave of pleasure so intense it was like ascending to the heavens.

The pleasure was so great Zou Feng felt like his clothes were about to explode off him; he even wanted to raise his hands high and shout, "POWER!"

Not even that wild time with Gongsun Jinghong at Jinluan Hall had felt this intensely good.

Immersed in this ultimate pleasure, Zou Feng naturally had no time to check the progress of his Cultivation Skills on the panel.

Otherwise, he would have seen the progress bar for his Five Poison Holy Lotus Skill shooting up as if he’d activated a cheat engine.

And it wasn’t just the Five Poison Holy Lotus Skill; his Great Universal Hand and Silent Extinction Poison Flame were also skyrocketing.
