Chapter 2098: Chapter 2095: Encountering the Woman Again
"More importantly, my sole purpose for coming to the Demon Controlling Battlefield is to enhance my strength through continuous life-and-death battles!" Ling Feng said sternly, "I don’t need to make acquaintances with anyone, nor do I need to build relationships with any organization. The woman’s identity, including her reasons for being there, holds no attraction for me."
The Demon God said helplessly, "I guess I found out that you’re a guy who doesn’t understand romance. Do you know, that woman is not simple at all."
"Now that I’ve already left, talking about this means nothing anymore!" Ling Feng interrupted the Demon God, "Let’s study our next move instead. There are many Void Demons in the Demon Controlling Battlefield, but being accidentally surrounded by them would be quite troublesome for me."
The Demon God laughed, "Don’t worry, I have everything planned. You’re right, being strong in the Demon Controlling Battlefield is important, but without a clear mind, you’d die faster than anyone else!"
"Since you’ve just entered the Demon Controlling Battlefield, you need an adjustment period. In the Battlefield, there are three Void Gates, and around each gate are powerful Void Demons, some of which are no less powerful than the Demon King. Their task is to guard the Void Gate, and if you wish to enter the Void Path, you must defeat the Guardian of the Void Gate. Of course, with your current strength, you are no match for them!"
"Therefore, I’ve chosen three places more suitable for your battles!" As he spoke, the Demon God waved his hand, and a map appeared in front of Ling Feng.
Ling Feng, seeing the map densely marked, was a bit surprised, "Is this the map of the Demon Controlling Battlefield?"
"Yes, this is the map of the Demon Controlling Battlefield!" the Demon God said sternly, "These three red dots are the locations of the Void Gates, situated deep within the Battlefield, and we are here right now!"
As he spoke, the Demon God pointed to a corner of the map, located at the edge of the Demon Controlling Battlefield.
"From now on, we will advance towards the Void Gates, and by the time your strength reaches the Realm of the Demon God, you will likely be at the location of the Void Gates!" the Demon God said, "Do you see this blue area?"
Ling Feng nodded.
"These areas are where the Void Demons are less active, and are also suitable for you to enhance your strength!" the Demon God said deeply, "Moreover, the Void Demons here are not very high level, and you can practice battling with them."
Ling Feng continued to nod, "Alright, I understand, let’s set off now!"
The blue area on the map was quite large, and not far from Ling Feng, there was also a blue area. Ling Feng and the Demon God entered the blue area together.
In the blue area, the Void Demons were indeed not as active as those outside. Throughout the day, Ling Feng battled fiercely with three Void Demons, ultimately killing one and injuring two others, though the two eventually escaped.
"Is this the Life Core of the Void Demon?" Ling Feng said somewhat perplexed as he wrapped his wounds simply and played with the blue Crystal Core in his hand, "This Life Core looks very ordinary, and I don’t sense any powerful energy inside. Is this really the Energy Source of the Void Demon?"
The Demon God said flatly, "It certainly is, but the energy inside needs to be guided out. Generally, few can guide this energy, but if it can be successfully guided, it could surely change the entire layout of the Demon Controlling Battlefield."
Ling Feng nodded; if there were a way to guide this energy out, the Demon Controlling Battlefield wouldn’t be an ominous Asura Field, but rather a rich gold mine.
At this time, there was a faint sound of footsteps around. Ling Feng flipped his hand to store away the blue Crystal Core and shouted sternly, "Who is it?"
Someone had managed to get so close without him noticing? This made Ling Feng instantly become vigilant.
"It’s me!" came a timid voice, and immediately a familiar figure appeared before Ling Feng’s eyes.
Ling Feng was shocked, widening his eyes. It was the woman he saw in the Shrine yesterday? How could she be here, and how did she get here?
Ling Feng involuntarily tightened his grip on the Longsword. This woman had given him a strange feeling since the beginning, and seeing her now felt even more eerie.
"Why are you here? What is your purpose?" Ling Feng took a deep breath and said sternly.
The woman looked timidly at Ling Feng, "I... I’m a bit scared, so I want to follow you! You’re the only one who doesn’t want to harm me!"
Ling Feng shook his head, "Speak, who are you? This is not a place where a weak woman can come and go. If you don’t tell me, then I’ll have to take action!"
"No!" the woman said hastily, "I... I actually don’t know who I am either. Since I have memory, I’ve been wandering here continuously, but many people want to harm me, so I hid in the Shrine and met you there!"
Ling Feng frowned, who would believe this?
"Ling Feng, she’s not lying!" the Demon God’s voice appeared in Ling Feng’s ear, "Moreover, this woman is very unusual. Since she has chosen you, you cannot escape!"
"Cannot escape? Can’t I escape even if I kill her?" Ling Feng thought disbelievingly.
"Would you?" the Demon God asked, "Would you kill her just because she wants to follow you? Would you really strike? Would you really take action?"
Ling Feng fell silent. Indeed, the other party showed no hostility; how could he possibly kill her? He wasn’t the kind of Devil who kills indiscriminately.
"You’re the only one I’ve met who doesn’t want to harm me, even protecting me!" The woman’s eyes showed a bit of gratitude, "So I want to stay by your side, because I feel safe with you."
"Then you’re really in for disappointment!" Ling Feng said flatly, "I came to the Demon Controlling Battlefield to fight, and I will go through numerous battles, many life-and-death encounters. Following me will only die faster, and I won’t take care of you, do you understand?"
The woman shook her head, "I just know, I want to stay by your side! Besides... I can also help you!"
"Help me?" Ling Feng frowned, what kind of joke was this?
The woman bit her lip and said, "I can help heal your wounds."
