Sikong Hongyu, surrounded by her four confidants, slowly came to Xu Feng, her face still as cold as ever. For the first time, she carefully looked at Xu Feng from head to toe, pondered for a moment, and said, "This time, you will be credited with the first merit!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but soon they quieted down. In previous years, there was no record of the first merit, it was just that the more harvested, the more rewards everyone could get.

Only those who save the day with their own strength in a major crisis will be recorded as the first meritorious person. The reward for the first meritorious person is said to be no less than that of the leader. Moreover, Xu Feng is only a member of the exploration team, and his strength can be regarded as the bottom of the group. He is unique. In the past fifty years, the Sikong family has only recorded the first merit twice.

It can be said that once Xu Feng returns to the Sikong family, everyone will know about it. However, no one is dissatisfied at this time. If Xu Feng had not rushed to the road desperately, they would not have been able to get out of the Blood Mist Forest before dark, and they would have to spend the night in it.

But now, standing aside from the incident, he witnessed the horrific changes in the Blood Mist Forest with his own eyes, and his heart was already terrified. How could he dare to feel indignant?

"The teams of the Tuoba and Kong families should still be in the Blood Mist Forest, right?" Suddenly, someone in the crowd seemed to remember something and spoke unconsciously.

Everyone's faces changed when they heard this. What will these two families face in the Blood Mist Forest? Can they still get out?

For a moment, everyone was in a heavy mood. Although the three major families were competing secretly, as they were all pioneering teams, they could be considered to be in the same boat and would not be so vicious as to hope that the other side would be wiped out.

……

After daybreak, the blood mist in the Blood Mist Forest was about half as thick as usual. However, the dozens of floating tentacles had become barely visible and could only be seen with careful observation.

At Sikong Hongyu's request, the Sikong family did not rush to sell their resources, but waited silently with many vendors.

On the first day, no one came out, and the same thing happened on the second day.

Could it be that the two pioneering teams were really wiped out? At this time, the Blood Mist Forest was almost returning to its previous state.

On weekdays, no cultivator dared to enter it, at least cultivators below the Earthly Realm did not have the courage. The reason was well known. There were many strange creatures active in the Blood Mist Forest. They were powerful, bloodthirsty, and extremely difficult to kill. It was said that the blood mist could repair their injuries at any time. Even if they were cut into several pieces, they could still crawl together and slowly recover. They were truly terrifying and difficult to deal with.

However, they are not interested in the various living creatures living in the Blood Mist Forest.

At noon on the third day, just when everyone had almost given up hope on the two monks, they suddenly heard the roar of an unknown creature coming from the blood mist forest, and the originally calm blood mist was also able to see some ripples.

Under the tense gaze of the crowd, not long after, the elegant young man leading the Kong family and two other monks suddenly rushed out of the blood mist forest, rushed out of the range covered by the blood mist, and fell directly to the ground.

They were in tattered clothes and covered with wounds. They were gasping for breath, soaked with blood and sweat, and had exhausted their last bit of strength.

After observing for a while and finding that there was no danger, several vendors who were on good terms with the Kong family hurried over to help the man back to the market. The three were taken directly to recuperate and rest.

About half an hour later, a similar situation occurred again. The middle-aged man who led the team from the Tuoba family and a companion supported each other and escaped. They survived the incident in the Blood Mist Forest with great difficulty.

At this point, except for the Sikong family, the Tuoba family and the Kong family were almost wiped out, with only two and three people surviving respectively.

The middle-aged man from the Tuoba family was also taken by a familiar merchant to heal his wounds. However, on the way, he caught a quick glimpse of the Sikong family and saw that most of them were alive and well. He felt as if he had seen a ghost, and his face was full of disbelief.

……

"Okay, now you can sell your gains from this trip." Sikong Hongyu said lightly.

Soon, the Sikong family members reacted one after another. Since the other two families were almost wiped out, all the vendors who had been waiting in the market for more than ten days could only focus on the spoils in their hands.

There are too many monks and too little meat. Unless they are willing to make this trip in vain, they can only increase the price to buy. In fact, this is indeed the case. Originally, the three families had their own familiar and relatively fixed vendors, but now, they can only focus on the harvest of the Sikong family.

These vendors thought that even if the profit was less, it didn't matter. As long as they bought as much as possible, they could at least earn enough money for their travel expenses.

For a moment, except for Sikong Hongyu and a few others, most of the other cultivators were surrounded by several vendors at the same time.

Xu Feng didn't have much beast meat and spiritual blood in his hands. After all, his realm was not high enough, and he had done very little to kill the beasts, so he got less. All other spiritual flowers and herbs were confiscated and could not be kept privately. However, due to the merchants' competition, he was able to sell them for more than 600 taels of silver.

These are just small profits, the reward after returning to the family is the big one.

A day later, the group was satisfied and began to return to Chiyun City in a mighty procession.

On the way, those monks who had mocked Xu Feng apologized to him in shame and thanked Xu Feng for saving them by "chance".

If Xu Feng had not gone crazy and forced them to escape from the Blood Mist Forest that same day, once they had spent the night in it, even if they had returned and did not go as deep as the other two families, more than half of them would have died (except for the core members, the other monks did not know about Xu Feng's remarks in the big tent about the changes that would occur in the Blood Mist Forest).

They had witnessed the tragic conditions of the Tuoba and Kong families with their own eyes. Who could be confident that they could survive the mutation? !

Of course, these people did not just talk, but also showed some actual actions. On the one hand, they did save him, and on the other hand, Xu Feng had made a great contribution this time. If nothing unexpected happened, his status in the family would be greatly improved after he returned. It would not be wrong to make a good relationship with him in advance.

Xu Feng didn't hesitate to accept all the orders, and got more than 1,000 taels in total. It seems that they benefited a lot from the rush of merchants and were quite generous.

……

Half a month later.

This year, the unusual changes in the Blood Mist Forest and the great gains of the Sikong family caused the Tuoba family and the Kong family to be almost wiped out. The turmoil caused by the heavy losses in Chiyun City has subsided a lot.

As the person who made the greatest contribution, Xu Feng was summoned personally by the head of the family, Sikong Haotian, who encouraged and praised him greatly, and also gave him many rewards.

Two disposable secret treasures, containing the full force of a cultivator at the late sixth level of the Human Yuan Realm.

Taking a top-grade Poyuan Pill can save you a year of hard training.

Fifty spirit stones.

There are dozens of bottles of various kinds of elixirs in total. As long as Xu Feng successfully breaks through to the fourth level of the Human Yuan Realm, he won't have to worry about elixirs in the next two years.

The reward is quite generous.

After receiving the reward, Xu Feng did not bother to reminisce with Qi Lin, but chose to go into seclusion again to break through immediately.
