forging the path to godliness

Ye Feng took a look at the ones who gathered, about half of the ones who came initially had died. Most of them were unlucky and got attacked while they were deep asleep.
These insane residents were not stupid, they knew how to launch sneak attacks.
However, they did not manage to control the entire town, after Ye Feng got away from them and hid somewhere, nobody managed to find him.
Of course, some passed by the area but he managed to hide from them successfully.
The ones near Ye Feng should not be the only survivors, but the scene was just too chaotic and not appropriate to move together, so many others might still be hiding elsewhere.
After all, everyone here was confident in their own strength, at least in terms of self-preservation, they were not weak.
Ye Feng and the rest waited at their hiding spots until the second day arrived.
The noise in the town alerted Ye Feng and the rest, they came out hesitantly but found that the area was normal like the time when they first arrived.
After asking a random person, Ye Feng found that they did not remember what happened the previous night, it was as if this town was a different world during the day and night.
After returning to their accommodation, Ye Feng and the rest started to talk about this situation.
“First, we have to confirm a problem.” Ye Feng looked around and asked: “Are we going to leave, or will we investigate further?”
This was the most important decision now, if they were leaving, there would be no need to stay and discuss.
Everyone was silent.
“I am leaving.” A muscular man broke the silence, he lowered his tone and said: “We can’t go against an entire town, at this rate, we will be killed.”
He was not afraid of them, but he was in their territory. There were countless residents who did not fear death, how could he take this risk?
Since they did not know what treasure was here, taking such a risk for the possibility of an unknown reward was very unwise.
If there was such a fortuitous encounter here, taking a risk was understandable, but what if there wasn’t any?
After wasting so much effort, if they end up finding that there was nothing valuable here, that would make one go crazy!
“I agree.”
“I’ll do the same.”
“I’m not leaving.” Someone suddenly spoke: “This is just a bit of effort, we only have to avoid them at night. If we persevere, we will definitely find out the truth.”
“Cough, let me interject.” Ye Feng suddenly interrupted them as he said: “I took a walk in the town today, I found that it is enveloped by a huge formation. Yesterday, we were too nervous, but if you think about it, the situation occurred when the formation activated.”
“That is to say, if we can resolve the formation, we can also unravel the mystery of the town.”
He was very convincing, but there were few people who changed their mind.
Even if they solved this mystery, there might not be any benefit. In contrast, the risk was huge, since the Endless Sea had many opportunities in it, this town was not the only one, why was there a need to investigate it?
“Then there is no helping it, if you want to leave, go ahead. Otherwise, you can stay and investigate.” Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders and smiled: “I wonder if the barrier works from within as well.”
As expected, those who wanted to leave came back soon after.
“The barrier needs to be broken from the inside if we want to exit. How can we break it with just the few of us?” Someone sat down dejectedly as he sighed.
There was only one-third of the original group left, they could not break the barrier, in fact, they could not even put a dent on it.
“We need to think positively.” The person who initiated the idea of leaving was nonchalant: “Since we are forced to stay, we can try to find our own opportunities by thoroughly investigating the place.”
Many people were convinced by his words, so they started to investigate the town.
Ye Feng left as well, but he went to find a place to rest, only starting his search in the evening.
It was the reverse of what the others did.
During the day, he had already gone to many places but found nothing. Since the formation only activated at night, it was better to investigate at that time.
He was confident in his own strength.
Night soon descended, a large number of residents came towards Ye Feng, it felt like a zombie apocalypse.
These residents were not as scary and ugly as zombies, although their strength was much higher than mere zombies.
Ye Feng could not hold back against them, he took out the Lightning Whip and started to ‘clear the way’ ahead of him.
His attacks were all unleashed with his full power, some of the weaker residents were actually killed by him.
Ye Feng sensed the source of the energy and finally followed it to find a crucial location.
It was a floating palace.
“It looks really majestic.” Ye Feng lashed at several residents in his way as he sighed uncontrollably.
His luck was quite good, he did not encounter any strong residents along the way, although he used up some energy and stamina, he was unharmed.
“Let’s take a look inside.” Ye Feng kept his Lightning Whip and carried Weakling as they arrived before the palace.
Using magic, it was extremely easy for him to get up there.
Looking at the tightly shut door, Ye Feng placed Weakling down and took a deep breath before he pushed with all his strength.
Along with a creaking sound, the door slowly opened and revealed the walkway within.
The door did not have any traps or even a lock, it was merely heavy.
But this was a good thing for Ye Feng who was not locked outside.
After the door was opened to a certain degree, Ye Feng walked in while alertly checking his surroundings.
This was a long walkway, lined with many vivid-looking statues on both sides.
They had all forms and shapes, their weapons were also of various types. Some were expressionless while some had distorted expressions, but all of them were looking at the walkway.
“It feels really nervous walking on this path while these statues are staring…” Ye Feng looked around and decided to move ahead, observing these statues.
He was alone at this place, he could not help but let his imagination run wild.
But after Ye Feng was halfway through the path, dust started to fall off the statues as they began to move.
“No way…” Ye Feng was stunned as his expression turned stiff.
Soon, he heard the sound of wind above him. Ye Feng had no time to think as he quickly dodged and rolled out of the way.
Bam!
A stone ax landed on the location that Ye Feng was at previously.
