Chapter 340 - 338: So Familiar...

Blurry vision, blurry flowers, blurry flesh.

The scent of dried flowers was quite pleasant. Even after being left for a long time, it still retained the vigorous resonance of life.

Familiar...

So familiar...

In the next second, Leng Feng's mind suddenly shook.

It seemed like he remembered something.

Dark Star felt as if the Leng Feng in front of him started struggling, losing control.

The previously retracted consciousness of Leng Feng that was hiding in a corner became clear.

Dark Star was taken aback. He frantically tried to regain his control, but was unable to. Leng Feng's consciousness seemed like thunder, suddenly awakening and crushing towards him.

Leng Feng's awareness gradually became clear. He saw the shattered blood flowers on the ground, and the damaged bouquet.

The petals on the dried flowers had mostly fallen off, leaving mostly bare stems.

Looking at the bouquet, Leng Feng reached out, carefully picking up the fallen petals one by one.

Noticing the Dark Tree next to him, he reached out and snapped a branch, hollowing it out.

He carefully placed the bouquet and petals into it.

Leng Feng glanced around but saw no suitable place to store them.

He glanced at his bloated and distorted body, and with his finger, he sliced open a cut on his chest, placing the newly made wooden box inside.

"Don't put the Dark Wood into my body!"

Inside Leng Feng, Dark Star's sharp voice rang out.

Dark Star had not previously noticed anything amiss with the Dark Forest, but now with his growing strength, even though temporarily losing control to Leng Feng, he was still reluctant to let the Dark Wood enter his body.

"Yours?" Leng Feng looked at his grotesquely swollen body.

He inserted the box into his body, disregarding it. Even with such a box inside, his body only appeared slightly more bloated.

The flesh quickly healed. Leng Feng took a deep breath and headed towards Jiang Che's dungeon.

Before leaving, he glanced down at the frothy remains on the ground.

After a long time, he turned and left.

In Jiang Che's dungeon, one after another, Black Crow's subordinates came forth, only to die within.

Black Crow stood outside the dungeon, all his subordinates perished inside Jiang Che's dungeon.

At that moment, the Dark Mother Plant sent him a message, instructing him to complete Jiang Che's dungeon before Jiang Che could attempt other dungeons.

He already knew everything about Jiang Che's dungeon.

Despite that, he still had doubts. Earlier, he was told to just lay the groundwork.

Now, he was informed that he'd need to clear the dungeon once himself.

He stood outside the dungeon but didn't enter rashly.

The Dark Mother Plant and Jiang Che knew he was there. Neither gave him any prying gaze.

They knew that if they did, it would surely alert the Black Crow.

Jiang Che's pupils grew increasingly deep, his body beginning to grow black fine lines.

Tuantuan worriedly watched Jiang Che's dungeon area, now completely sealed off, forbidding anyone from entering.

Jiang Che's consciousness occasionally became chaotic. Although the Dark Mother Plant did not actively affect his mind, when his consciousness spread thin among the infinite forest's flora, Jiang Che felt it becoming somewhat ethereal.

Black Crow looked at Jiang Che's dungeon, enveloped by a fervor belonging to him.

He even felt that if he wanted, he could replace it at will.

The fervor remained unchanged, clearly unnoticed by Jiang Che.

Indeed, Jiang Che was just an ordinary human with no foundation.

Only aware of a method to kill and consume, unaware of other aspects.

He inhaled deeply, stepping into the dungeon.

"Here he comes." The Dark Mother Plant spoke, instantly retracting the fervor kindled by countless gray crows in the dungeon.

Upon entering the dungeon, Black Crow sensed something was amiss.

What should have felt incredibly familiar became foreign in an instant.

He wanted to leave, but faced Jiang Che's dungeon challenges instead.

In that moment, as if understand everything, Black Crow howled at the sky, "You betrayed me!"

"Jiang Che! Come out!" he shouted towards the passageway ahead, eyeing the star-glimmering crystal at its center.

He didn't begin the trials but cried out wildly for Jiang Che.

Jiang Che hesitated but eventually stepped forward.

His mind was hazy, spread across the forest. He just yearned to talk to someone to anchor his own consciousness.

It didn't take long for Black Crow to encounter Jiang Che.

He looked at Jiang Che's jet-black pupils and the black fine lines all over his skin.

"Collaborating with the Dark Mother Plant?" He sneered, recalling his own situation.

Wasn't he deceived into this state?

Jiang Che glanced at him, then stepped aside, opening a path. "Begin."

Having dared to merge, he wasn't afraid of the Dark Mother Plant deceiving him now.

Black Crow sneered, then quickly charged into the dungeon.

What approached Jiang Che was merely a projection. To kill Jiang Che, he first had to clear his dungeon.

The Lord's dungeon was the best line of defense.

In the dungeon, the rules wouldn't change.

Watching Black Crow fight through without sustaining any injuries, Jiang Che remained still.

"Aren't you afraid he'll break through your dungeon?" The Dark Forest was still a bit anxious, never having experienced the trials of Ding Ning.

It just calculated the completion rate for Jiang Che's dungeon.

Very low.

Thus, it thought of having Black Crow attempt it, thereby seizing Black Crow's throne.

"No worries," Jiang Che shook his head.

Previously, Ding Ning had tried and told him that without an iron will, clearing this dungeon wasn't possible.

No matter how a path is calculated, some damages are inevitable.

The only difference is in how much one sustains.

Ding Ning also mentioned there might be a better path but hadn't found one superior to her own.

Jiang Che wasn't worried; the Dark Mother Plant, however, stirred its branches.

The dungeon remained unchanged, but with its roots in the dungeon, it could increase its difficulty and disrupt the opponent's perception.

Jiang Che allowed its actions, focusing on killing Black Crow.

Concerns of fairness and morality didn't bother him.

He just wanted to quickly resolve the matter.

Recently, he felt incessant unease, unable to calm himself no matter what he did.

While Black Crow furiously progressed, a visitor arrived outside Jiang Che's dungeon.

Jiang Che instantly appeared outside, observing the newcomer's scattered gaze, devoid of light.

At first sight, a punch was hurled towards him!
