Chapter 526: The Slums of Wu Yuancheng

strode upstairs.As soon as Lu Kong reached the top of the stairs, he peered into the room on the third floor. It was a huge space.The interior of the room was somewhat dim, with a bonfire burning in...Lu Kong glanced at Feng Ye, whose breath was weak. He opened his mouth and said somewhat awkwardly: "…Seeing that you're also quite injured, why don't you stay outside to rest I can handle it myself."

Feng Ye immediately refused, saying, "How can that be The Corrupted Claw Demon is a member of the demon race, with many tricks up its sleeve. Although Lord Lu Kong has great strength, having more helpers is always better. Rest assured, Lord Lu Kong, even if I die, I won't hold you back! When the battle begins, you don't have to worry about me."

Lu Kong looked at Feng Ye's face. He had the expression of someone who wouldn't let him go, but he would follow anyway. Lu Kong twitched the corner of his mouth.

However, Feng Ye was also trying to do his part. After some thought, Lu Kong ultimately did not refuse.

Though Feng Ye's injury was serious, he wasn't someone most demons could easily handle.

However, Lu Kong hesitated for a moment, considering the potential issue of cooperation with the Shadowwood Tree People in the future. He took out a bottle of potion.

The green potion rippled with an intensely potent life force.

This is a Holy Spirit-level healing potion, the one Lu Kong chose before fighting monsters.

It can restore up to 50% of the life force of all creatures at or below level four Holy Spirit. This effect is quite good for both land and air units.

When Lu Kong killed an emperor-level monster, some monsters had a drop list where the holy spirit-level item was this thing. Lu Kong just chose it casually.

Although he's not usually needed, it's good to have him as an option.

Of course, Lu and Kong still have many of these kinds of medicines. A few bottles were traded with Wang Bing in exchange for resources.

"This medicine, Senior Feng Ye, you should drink it. If your injuries recover, you can also help more."

Feng Ye looked at the Holy Spirit-level healing potion in Lu Kong's hand, his eyes widened, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes: "Holy Spirit-level healing potion"

Although treatment potions are relatively less valuable compared to other Holy Spirit-level items, they are still Holy Spirit-level items.

Value is also very precious.

Feng Ye had already made up his mind to die in the lair of the Corrupted Claw, sacrificing himself for Wu Yuancheng. He hadn't expected Lu Kong to casually take out such a high-grade potion!

Even with treatment potions of this caliber… just how wealthy is Lord Lu Kong

After all, even before the Darkwood Treants were destroyed, holy-ranked healing potions were a foundation of their clan.

Even he, when normally injured, wouldn't dare use such a high-level potion.

Lord Lu Kong not only was willing to believe him, but also willing to give him such a precious healing elixir. This made Feng Ye's heart moved beyond measure, and even had a feeling of being ready to die for a friend he knew well.

“No, this elixir is too precious. I can’t accept it,” Feng Ye shook his head repeatedly. “Don’t worry, Lu Kong. I won’t be in any danger.”

Li Kong shook his head and smiled, "Senior, no need to be polite. I still have some of these medicines on hand, so I don't need that many. Just take them. If senior feels uncomfortable, after dealing with the Corrupted Claw Demon, I would hope the Dark Forest Treants could help me with something."

And some more...

Feng Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at the potion Lu Kong handed over, hesitated for a moment, then took it and said, "Lu Kong, what do you want me to help with Just tell me when the time comes!"

After all, in Feng Ye's view, Lu Kong's trip to Wu Yuancheng to seek the trace of the Corrupted Claw Demon was not only for Wu Yuancheng but also for their Dark Forest Tree People clan.

This is a great kindness to the dark forest treants.

Since it is a great kindness, the Dark Forest Tree People naturally have no reason not to repay kindness.

If we can help the land and sky, the Dark Forest Tree Folk will naturally do their utmost.

Seeing Feng Ye say this, Lu Kong also revealed a smile.

This way, as long as they dealt with the Corrupted Claw demon problem and allowed the Shadowwood Treants to return to Wu Yuan City, their Yuanshen Commercial Guild would also have a top-tier force helping them in Wu Yuan City.

Although the Darkwood Treefolk suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, they remain a top force because they possess a powerful Tier 4 peak Saint Spirit Realm expert.

As long as Feng Ye isn't seriously injured, then even if the Dark Forest Tree Man suffers some losses in power, it wouldn't be a huge problem.

Feng Ye took the treatment medicine and drank it directly.

Instantly, the rich life force healed the wounds on his body directly, and his breath instantly recovered to its peak state.

The effect is immediate.

Feng Ye took a deep breath and thanked Lu Kong again.

Lu Kong just waved his hand and then asked, "Senior Feng Ye, your Dark Forest Tree People clan was driven out of Wu Yuan City. How did you get into the city with me"

Feng Ye smiled faintly: "Our Dark Forest Tree People clan has been operating in Wu Yuan City for many years, so we naturally have a way. In fact, news of your trip to Wu Yuan City was also discovered by our Dark Forest Tree People clan members, which is why I'm waiting for you here."

Li Kong suddenly understood, and no longer asked any questions.

Afterwards, Feng Ye led Lu Kong to a native village outside Wu Yuan City. In the village, Feng Ye led Lu Kong to find a caravan.

He led Lu Kong into the caravan's transport wagon, and then the caravan set off for Wu Yuancheng.

At the gate of Wuyu City, under the assault of gold from the head merchant, the guards merely performed a symbolic inspection. Feng Ye used a low-grade invisibility scroll and effortlessly got past them.

Both land and air were left speechless by the entire process.

I didn't expect the indigenous people's lives to be like this, and it was possible to infiltrate so deeply.

Lu Kong shook his head and didn't think much about it. After all, he wasn't a fugitive and didn't need to worry about that.

The caravan entered Wuyuan City and went straight to the poor district.

After all, the traces of the Fleshpound found by the Treants of the Darkwood were right here in the Slums.

The slums were a melting pot of poverty and crime. The guard patrols rarely ventured into this chaotic area. Furthermore, Feng Ye and Lu Kong both wore cloaks that concealed their features. Even as they emerged from the merchant caravan's transport vehicles, no one paid them any mind.

After getting off the carriage, Lu Kong's gaze swept across the area. He found that Wu Yuanting's slum was vastly different from other areas. The treehouses were small and cramped, extremely dirty and messy, with trash strewn everywhere, and the smell was unbearable.

Feng Ye, very familiar with the environment here, began to introduce: “As a large main city, Wu Yuan City has a large population of indigenous people. As you know, where there are intelligent beings, there will always be highs and lows, and there will be class distinctions. Most of those living here are at the bottom of Wu Yuan City’s social hierarchy. Of course, some have also broken the laws of Wu Yuan City and fled here as a last resort.”

Lü Kong mused for a moment, then spoke: "Although there are also poorer areas in Xinghe City and Heishi City, they are much better off compared to here."

Feng Ye fell silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Your Excellency, since you have also seen the city lord, and in addition to what I said before, I believe you also know what kind of person the city lord is."

Because there were many people and the noise was loud, Feng Ye didn't explain things too clearly, but Lu Kong understood what Feng Ye meant.

The Lord Mayor was obviously mixed up with the devil.

The management of Wu Yuancheng is clearly different from that of Heishicheng and Xinghecheng.

Lu Kong sighed, if we only talk about the environment, Wu Yuancheng was actually the best. He didn't expect that such a beautiful environment would hide such darkness.

During their conversation, Feng Ye led Lu Kong through a maze of narrow alleys. Along the way, they encountered several indigenous people who attempted to rob them, but Feng Ye easily subdued them.

Robbing a peak stage 4 Holy Spirit is insane.

Soon, Feng Ye brought Lu Kong to a somewhat damp area with garbage piled nearby.

They arrived at a deep tree hollow. Feng Ye spoke, "Lu Kong, this is one of the entrances to the underground drainage channel."

Lu Kong glanced at the pitch-black environment, nodded slightly, and said, "Go in."

"Hmm!" Feng Ye entered first, Lu Kong following closely behind. here secretly before. That's how the minor demon lord and a group of lesser demons arrived here. You should ask them for details... you guys are probably more professional about this than me, so I wo...
