Chapter 374 The Allure of the Stone Mark
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge sect surrounding Cheng Feng all swallowed hard.
Huo Ling and the other girls also had strange expressions.
They stared intently at the stone mark on the stone platform, wanting to reach for it several times, but each time they resisted with sheer willpower.
A strange aroma filled the air, arousing everyone's instinctive appetite.
"Old Cheng, is this the human flesh smell you were talking about?"
Chen Wenjin's throat moved, and saliva kept flowing from her mouth, as if urging her to quickly eat up these ugly black tumors in front of her.
"It smells good, doesn't it? Look at this thing, doesn't it look like a magnified mole on a person's face?"
Even though the crowd felt nauseous after hearing this, they were still breathing rapidly, and some of the Unloading Ridge disciples even drooled.
Cheng Feng felt that if they stayed any longer, they might not be able to resist.
"Keep your hands to yourselves. This thing is basically a rock. If you don't want your stomach to be filled with rocks, then you'd better hold back."
Cheng Feng's order was like a bucket of cold water poured on the flames that had just been kindled by everyone.
Looking up at the very top of the banquet hall, Cheng Feng spoke:
"Let these people sleep for now, then we'll go up and take a look."
As Cheng Feng left, he kept his eyes on the group. This instinctive appetite was too strong, and even a person with a strong will would find it hard to resist.
Fortunately, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect were more obedient to Cheng Feng's orders than to their appetite.
No one touched the stone mole on the table during that time.
After climbing several large steps, the fragrance of the stone mole finally faded a bit, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"For the first time, I've realized that something can actually smell better than shredded pork with green peppers."
Black Bear rubbed his nose and sighed.
He had been struggling to hold it in. He felt disgusted, but his mouth kept watering, and even his stomach started to cramp.
"If I were to take out a plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers and mole, I bet you would eat it even if you knew you would die."
Cheng Feng joked as he walked.
Huo Ling, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement and said, "I think so too. Blind people have no resistance to shredded green peppers and pork."
"That's true. If these two things were put together, I probably wouldn't be able to resist eating that disgusting thing."
Just thinking about the fragrant shredded pork with green peppers made Hei Xiazi's mouth water.
By the time everyone reached the top of the Corpse Kingdom Banquet, the fragrance of the Stone God's Mark had completely dissipated.
The four women and the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect finally regained their usual composure.
Before them stood a huge octagonal wooden coffin, adorned with exquisite bas-reliefs.
The relief carving depicts a humanoid creature; although it has a human form, it has a ring of fish-fin-like structures behind its head.
Besides this, there was also a line of Mongolian script next to it. Yang Xueli stepped forward to identify it and said:
"It seems this thing isn't a coffin, but a huge food box."
"Shirley, what does this line of Mongolian script say?"
Although Chen Wenjin could recognize some Mongolian script, he was unable to decipher anything more complex.
Fortunately, my best friend has done extensive research in this area.
"Eternal Radiance, this is Jude Kao's target."
At this time, no one knew that Jude Kao's claim of coming here to find Wan Shi Liu Xia was just a pretext.
After all, no one would have expected that this foreign devil would be so audacious as to set his sights on Cheng Feng.
"Legend has it that the 'Eternal Flowing Clouds' must be aged for a full thousand years before it can be consumed. Jude Kao, take it back now."
It can be eaten after a few hundred years.
In fact, anyone who has heard of the "Eternal Flowing Clouds" knows that Jude Kao has concealed his true purpose.
It's just that no one exposed him; in Wu Sansheng's eyes, he was just a tool.
Once they realized that the huge octagonal wooden box in front of them was not a coffin, everyone lost interest in it.
Chen Wenjin and Yang Xueli huddled together and walked to the wall next to them to look at the murals carved on the wall.
These murals depict the scene of the Corpse Kingdom's banquet, a lively and bustling affair.
Beautiful women danced, guests clapped along, and waiters carrying delicious food moved between the tables.
Cheng Feng looked up and saw a huge human face statue looking down at the crowd, just like the host of the banquet.
This face belongs to the demonic monk Yang Lianzhenjia, who is also the one who built this place.
Yang Lianzhenjia is a complete pervert; he is lustful and also enjoys having sex with corpses.
If there were a ranking of the worst people in history, this wicked monk would definitely be near the top.
"Old Cheng, look here."
Hearing Yang Xueli's call, Cheng Feng turned his gaze to the two women.
They had now reached the last mural, with Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling beside them.
The strangest thing is that there is a row of terracotta figures kneeling and worshipping the wall next to them.
Arriving beside the group, Cheng Feng examined the mural depicting the terracotta figures kneeling in worship.
What's on this wall is less a mural and more like large black spots.
Almost the entire wall was covered by this black spot.
This thing is dark red overall, with black patterns inside, giving it a creepy and eerie feel at first glance.
"The colors of this mural are so depressing, it's giving me goosebumps."
As she spoke, Huo Ling rubbed her arms together.
"Then don't bother looking. This thing is the Black Pool, a malevolent monster from Mongolian mythology, the place where the ancient python corpse was conceived."
Watching it for too long can easily cause nightmares at night.
Cheng Feng hasn't lived in vain all these years. Since his trip to Genghis Khan's tomb, he has learned a lot about Mongolia.
He has extensive knowledge in areas ranging from language and history to folklore.
"The Great Demon Black Pool, could this thing really exist?"
Yang Xueli had also seen some records about the great demon Black Pool in ancient books, but this was the first time she had seen a portrait of him.
"Perhaps..."
At this point, Cheng Feng suddenly turned his head to look down.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Cheng Feng's actions, and they subconsciously looked in the direction he was facing.
Behind the stone table below, someone had already woken up.
At this moment, he was wolfing down the stone mole in front of him, as if he hadn't eaten for days and was seeing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
"Oh no, stop them quickly!"
Then Cheng Feng and the others quickly ran downstairs.
When they returned to the platform, which was surrounded by a strange fragrance, most of the people there had already woken up.
Because of differences in willpower, these people reacted differently.
Wu Sansheng and the others were struggling to resist the strong temptation of the stone mole when they noticed Cheng Feng leading the way and walking briskly towards them.
They all struggled to their feet.
"Stop it all!"
Cheng Feng shouted, and everyone froze instantly.
"Listen carefully, anyone who eats this will die. If you can move, get out of here immediately."
After saying that, Cheng Feng waved his hand and unleashed an invisible wind blade, instantly cleaving more than a dozen stone platforms in two. The jade and fruits placed on them rolled down the steps and scattered to various places.
