Chapter 443: Chapter 443: The Appearance of the Giant Hand (Eighth Update)

Shi Feng cautioned the mother and daughter to be very careful before the trio hesitated no longer and walked into the tall and wide mountain cave.

Apart from the deep purple flood that had erupted at the beginning, those rotting corpses posed no threat to Shi Feng at all.

But his intuition told him that the real danger lay within this cave.

Then, the three of them entered cautiously, their eyes sweeping up and down, left and right, ahead.

Here, after encountering those stone hands on the mountain path, the three did not dare to let their guard down on the ground, for a fatal attack could come from below if they weren’t careful.

The cave was very dark. Upon entering, it seemed no different from any ordinary cave, except that the thick white fog that pervaded the cave had vanished.

What was strange, though, was that even though Shi Feng’s palm burned with a forest-white flame, the light seemed to be confined, unable to illuminate the surroundings; the cave remained engulfed in darkness.

Although unable to use the flame for lighting, the dim light inside the cave didn’t affect his vision, so Shi Feng put out the flame.

Gradually, as they ventured deeper, the three of them suddenly stopped in their tracks because they saw a pile of white bones ahead, about a dozen in total, all belonging to the Human Clan. They were those who had entered this cave and died here.

They must have encountered something here, which was why they had died in this place, so upon seeing these white bones, the three of them stopped advancing.

Shi Feng turned his head and looked at the beautiful lady, asking, "Can you sense whether your husband is still ahead of us and how far away he might be from here?"

The beautiful lady replied, "Although I can’t pinpoint how far he is from us, I can distinctly feel that he’s ahead of us, at some distance."

From what she said, her husband had traversed past this perilous area littered with white bones.

"What was your husband’s Martial Arts Cultivation when he entered the Death Forbidden Land?" Shi Feng asked again.

"When he entered the Death Forbidden Land, he was at the Five-star Martial Venerable Realm!" As she spoke of her husband being at the Five-star Martial Venerable Realm, a look of unconscious pride appeared on the beautiful lady’s face.

That’s how women are; the strength of their men is a source of their pride.

"Five-star Martial Venerable Realm!" Murmuring these words, Shi Feng flipped his right hand and the Full Moon Scimitar appeared in his grip.

Then, Shi Feng spoke again to the mother and daughter, "You two wait here for me; I’ll go ahead and explore."

"Mhm!" The mother and daughter nodded.

"Be careful," the girl named Xinn’er promptly added to Shi Feng.

"No problem!" Shi Feng said, then with a swift move and the Full Moon Scimitar in hand, he rushed forward.

But just as Shi Feng was about to pass the white bones on the ground, suddenly, a large hand thick with long black fur emerged from above him, as if it had drilled out of thin air, and smashed down toward Shi Feng, like swatting a fly with a heavy blow!

Shi Feng had been constantly vigilant, and upon seeing the large hand appear overhead, he quickly flew backward, escaping the reach of the hand’s attack.

However, at that moment, as Shi Feng fled, the black-furred hand that had struck down suddenly vanished as though it had never been there.

With a "thump," Shi Feng landed on his feet, resuming his position beside the mother and daughter.

"How is it? Can we get across?" Seeing Shi Feng flee back, the beautiful woman quickly asked.

Just now, when they saw that huge black-furred hand appear above Shi Feng and slam down angrily, they were indeed worried for Shi Feng.

"Yes!" Shi Feng nodded at the beautiful woman.

Immediately, Shi Feng’s thoughts stirred, and the Full Moon Scimitar in his hands followed by charging upwards. It began to circulate above his head, a dense grey-white mist bursting forth, charging towards the ceiling of the cave.

Then, Shi Feng spread his arms to each side, wrapping them around the supple yet resilient waists of the beautiful mother and daughter.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The sudden action from Shi Feng immediately elicited two panicky cries, "What are you doing!" As Shi Feng’s hands touched her body, the beautiful woman quickly shouted angrily.

"What are you doing! Let us go!" The young girl named Xinn’er also struggled to speak up.

"What are you thinking! I’m trying to take you across!" Hearing the voices of the two women, an irritated look appeared on Shi Feng’s cold face. He then drew back his hands from their waists, which were supple yet resilient.

"What do you take me for!" Shi Feng said coldly, looking at the mother and daughter.

"This!" Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, an embarrassed look spread across the faces of the mother and daughter. So he was just trying to help us across.

During this time, on their journey, due to the mother and daughter’s beauty, they had encountered many ill-intentioned men, and their path had been full of complications, bringing them accustomed to fear.

They thought further, if this young man had had any untoward intentions, he wouldn’t have waited until now.

"This! I am really sorry." The beautiful woman, with her hands clasped towards Shi Feng, said, thinking back to that instantaneous moment when she had suspected Shi Feng of being that kind of person, her face tinged with a blush.

Not only the woman, but the girl’s face was also flushed with shame as she awkwardly said to Shi Feng, "Actually, you can’t blame me and my mother, we’ve encountered too many bad people, sorry! We know you are a good person."

"Enough, let’s forget it! Now it’s your choice, if you want to go across, I’ll take you with me; if you don’t want to, then I’ll go by myself." Shi Feng said to the mother and daughter.

"You! Just take us with you." The girl looked at Shi Feng, thinking of how he had suddenly embraced her before, her face growing redder, and whispered to Shi Feng, then she turned her gaze to her mother.

"We’d appreciate it if you could help us across," the beautiful woman then spoke up, her face still holding an embarrassed expression as she faced Shi Feng.

"Then make sure you don’t scream and shout! If someone comes and sees or hears, they might think I’m up to no good!" Shi Feng said.

"Okay!"

"Okay! We definitely won’t!"

The mother and daughter both promised in unison, assuring Shi Feng.

"Good!" After saying these two words, Shi Feng stretched out his hands towards the mother and daughter once more. Quickly, his hands once again wrapped around the waists of the mother and daughter, the touch once again conveying a mixture of softness and resilience, a very delightful feeling!

"Let’s go!" With another low shout from Shi Feng, he tightened his grip on the beautiful mother and daughter and, in a burst of motion, began to speed ahead through the air!
