Chapter 308: A Huge Hole in One Punch

“Oh? Dean wants to resolve the problem of the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead once and for all?”

Lin Feng was a little surprised. He did not know much about the Four Forbidden Places, but he knew that they had always existed, and the Nine Sages of humanity could not do anything about them.

“Sage Lin Feng, out of the Four Forbidden Places, the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead is actually the weakest. There are at least two demon emperors in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead that we know of. I usually keep these two demon emperors occupied. They are indeed very strong when they join forces, but they prefer to stay in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. When they occasionally leave the grottoes, I would always impede them.”

“Other than the two demon emperors, this Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead is also a very mysterious place. In the past, I had ventured deep into it alone, but after I sensed a strong threat and was harassed by the two demon emperors, I had no choice but to retreat. This time, things are different with you around. If we join forces, we might be able to kill the two demon emperors. Then, we can explore the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead and resolve this Forbidden Place once and for all, eliminating it from the Forbidden Places!”

The more the Invincible Fist Sage spoke, the more excited he became. It seemed like he had been waiting for this day for a long time. It was definitely not a spur of the moment idea, but a plan. It was just that he was not strong enough, and the other eight Sages could not leave, so he could only delay it until now.

Once the problem of the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead was resolved, not only would it mean the removal of a Forbidden Place, it would also allow the Invincible Fist Sage to spare the time to reinforce the other Sages. Perhaps then, the stalemate of the Outland the Sages were guarding could be broken.

At that time, humanity’s situation would be much better than it was now.

“Dean, do you have a plan?”

“Of course I do. I’m just waiting for your answer.”

“All right, ever since I’ve become a Sage, I’ve enjoyed a lot of benefits, but I haven’t made any contributions. This time, I’ll accompany Dean to challenge the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead!”

Lin Feng had nothing to hesitate about. He had not been a Sage for long, so Sage Kang and the others were also deliberately giving Lin Feng some time to accompany his family.

In reality, the Nine Sages all had their own missions, and were all overseeing the Outland. It was impossible for Lin Feng to keep enjoying such “benefits” without making any contributions.

Sooner or later, Lin Feng would help the other Sages and guard the Outland together. He might as well help the Invincible Fist Sage resolve the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead first. Then, the situation for the entire human race would be greatly different.

Perhaps in the future, if the Sages worked together, they could resolve the problems of the other three Forbidden Places one by one.

“Dean, when are we leaving?”

“I’ll make some arrangements for the Grotto Base. We leave in an hour!”

Hence, Lin Feng waited quietly in the base, and learned some information about the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead in the meantime.

About an hour later, the Invincible Fist Sage found Lin Feng.

“The arrangements are done. Sage Lin Feng, I have to make things clear first. A Forbidden Place is dangerous. Even I’m not too confident. It’s filled with too many unknowns. Do you want to contact your family first?”

The Invincible Fist Sage’s expression was very solemn.

Although Sages were already the top experts among humans and were almost invincible, the true rulers of the vast world were dire beasts! Moreover, there were some ancient and mysterious civilizations that might very well contain some terrible methods that could kill Sages.

For example, the Four Forbidden Places were places that the Sages believed might threaten Sages. The Invincible Fist Sage’s warning was not unnecessary.

“No need. I’ve already made arrangements before coming. Moreover, even if there’s really danger, it won’t be that easy to kill me.”

Although the Forbidden Place was very dangerous, Lin Feng was still very confident.

“Haha, that’s right. As Sages, we shouldn’t be so reluctant to act. Sage Kang didn’t want me to take the risk in the past because he was worried that I’m alone. However, we are respected Sages. If we are so reluctant to act, how can we improve our martial arts? Let’s go. We’ll go to the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead right now!”

The Invincible Fist Sage flew out of the base directly, and Lin Feng followed closely behind.

About an hour later, Lin Feng saw that the ground ahead of him was filled with strange rocks. The surroundings were barren, and there was nothing but rocks.

Moreover, the ground seemed to be shaking slightly, as if there was an earthquake.

Further away, there was a huge rock that looked like a huge dragon’s head.

“This is the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead?”

“Not bad, but this is only the surface of the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. The real grottoes are underground.”

“Underground?”

Lin Feng thought for a moment. That made sense. The ground was bare. How could there be grottoes? Hence, the grottoes could only be underground.

“What’s with the earthquake here?”

“This isn’t an earthquake. In fact, I have no idea why this place is often quaking either. However, according to my speculation, the source of the quakes is in the depths of the grottoes. It’s even very likely that it’s due to the terrifying demon emperors!”

“Demon emperor? How massive would that be?”

Lin Feng took a look. The area within a radius of 50 kilometers was shaking. If one considered what’s underground, the range might be even greater. What kind of demon emperor had such daunting power?

“Haha, that’s just my speculation. All right, get ready. Let’s get down!”

“Get down? How?”

Lin Feng looked at the ground. There were no entrances or anything like that. How could they go underground?

“Haha, like this, of course!”

The Invincible Fist Sage laughed aloud. At the same time, raging flames erupted from his entire body, as if the entire sky was set on fire.

Behind him, a huge flaming giant vaguely appeared. Its appearance was not clearly visible, but it emitted a terrifying aura. This was worlds apart from when the Invincible Fist Sage had descended at Dragonlith City.

This was the true strength of the Invincible Fist Sage as a Sage. In the battle in Dragonlith City, the Invincible Fist Sage might not even have used a tenth of his strength.

Boom.

The Invincible Fist Sage suddenly threw a punch. His fist was like a heavy hammer, burning with terrifying flames. It transformed into a huge flaming hand that smashed into the ground.

Rumble.

The ground shook wildly, like a magnitude 10 earthquake. The trembling became more and more intense. A devastating shockwave spread in all directions, razing everything within a thousand meters to the ground.

Crunch.

Finally, cracks appeared on the ground spiderwebs. Then, the ground collapsed violently and rapidly, revealing huge holes.

These huge holes continued to collapse, and finally, all of them collapsed, forming a gigantic hole with a radius of a hundred meters on the ground. It was deep and dark inside, and there was even the whistling of wind, giving off a mysterious and eerie air.
