Chapter 332: Underground Battle
Deng Gong had a shock and questioned with a stern voice, "Who are you? How did you enter here?"
Of course, Deng Gong did not want anyone else to spoil his dealings with the Sand Lizardfolk, especially when the stakes were high.
"Friend, leave immediately! Spread the news to Shadong Town and seek help from the D-tier elites, this is a female Sand Lizardfolk beast king, run for your life!" Suddenly, Han Nuan shouted and gave her warnings.
Han Nuan was hoping that someone could save her; however, she knew that the Sand Lizardfolk Queen was too powerful.
She had noticed the E-tier aptitude badges that were on Qin Feng and Bai Li's chests!
At the same moment, Deng Gong felt relieved as soon as he noticed the badges on both of them.
"Leader, kill them immediately, so that they will be unable to return and alert the others!"
At that moment, the queen had certainly sensed the bloody smell of Sand Lizardfolk from Qin Feng's body.
"It's you, you have killed my people!" The queen was furiously enraged.
Half of her body was raised up as she extended her razor-sharp fangs from her mouth that was cracked open, extending to the back of her ears.
"Kill him!"
All of the thirty Sand Lizardfolk were infuriated and filled with the urge to kill!
Piles of sand appeared in the air and formed into a gigantic wave, and Qin Feng was about to be buried in it.
"Fire Dragon!"
Qin Feng had to stop the sand from closing in!
The surroundings of the low-rise hall were engulfed in the gigantic growl of the fire dragon, and the intense flame was strong enough to cast away the sand.
Boom!
The sand was instantly dispersed by the attack from Qin Feng and turned into decomposed runes that scattered in the air.
At the same moment, a Sand Lizardfolk was preparing to mount a sneak attack onto Qin Feng from the walls on his left side, while there was another one that had sneaked up and pounced toward him from above.
Crack!
The Sand Lizardfolk turned their sharpened claws into solid rocks as they pierced toward Qin Feng.
Qin Feng exhaled his internal strength and formed a protection around him as he began to make sequenced and swift attacks.
"Die!"
Qin Feng grabbed and dragged the body of the Sand Lizardfolk that was above him, and swung it toward the wall on his left side while the Verdant Emperor Saber on his hand expelled its Burning Sword Glare.
Poof!
Two down.
"Phantom Motion Steps!"
In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng had appeared behind a Sand Lizardfolk and landed a horizontal stroke with his saber.
"Groo!"
A skull was beheaded, and it was another death for the Sand Lizardfolk.
Despite having the advantage of enhanced earth ability attacks, the Sand Lizardfolk were unable to cause any harm toward Qin Feng who was travelling at high speed.
However, any Sand Lizardfolk that were being targeted by Qin Feng would certainly be dead.
"What?"
Deng Gong turned pale with fear!
The F-tier aptitude users that were with him were equally confused and shocked by the battle.
"Retreat immediately!"
Deng Gong immediately made his move to escape and exited from the hall.
On the other hand, Han Nuan was extremely delighted as she had never thought that Qin Feng and Bai Li were so powerful.
"It must be the aptitude elites that had just arrived at Shadong Town, it must be, there is still hope!"
"Kill him, you trash!" The Sand Lizardfolk Queen let out an enraged roar.
"Yes, leader!" The beast general instantly transformed its body and quickly enlarged into a huge ultra beast that was two meters in height.
A lift of its hand instantly surrounded Qin Feng with yellow sand.
"Freeze!"
The Sand Lizardfolk beast general let out a deafening roar as its conscious energy fluctuated, while the yellow sand turned into solid rocks and began to gush toward Qin Feng that was within.
Despite being protected by the barrier of his internal strength, the pressure of the massive solid rocks could also flatten and kill Qin Feng.
It was a disadvantage to take on battle at such a location.
The space was extremely limited and surrounded with earth runes that were highly in favor of the Sand Lizardfolks.
Qin Feng had been taking down the Sand Lizardfolk one at a time with his saber, however, the tables had turned, and he had to take on a much stronger opponent!
On the other hand, Bai Li blinked and disappeared from the tunnel, she had entered into the hall.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Bai Li raised her hand and released all of the captured women from their cages.
"Leave!"
Bai Li commanded.
Everyone of them had overcome their fear and started to run for their lives.
Han Nuan was poisoned and her body was in an extremely weak state; Bai Li untangled her from the ropes and let her out.
"Mistress, can you provide me with a gun? I would need to protect those that have escaped!" Han Nuan requested.
Bai Li took out a gun and passed it to Han Nuan.
"Thank you, Mistress!"
Han Nuan clenched her teeth as she forcefully lifted herself with conscious energy and floated outside.
"B*stard! Stop them!" The Sand Lizardfolk Queen roared.
Immediately, a troop of Sand Lizardfolk went ahead in pursuit.
"No one can harm those that I want to save!" Bai Li showcased her confidence valiantly; she lifted her hand and the surroundings were dazzling with light rays, and three Sand Lizardfolk were instantly torn apart.
"You are not a human being!"
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen instantly squinted her eyes.
Fortunately, the message was not transmitted further by the conscious energy, and there were no other human beings left in the hall.
"How would that bother you, and for sure, I am also not the same tribe as you!" Bai Li let out a cold sneer and took a glance at the scales on the body of the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.
It looked horrible, and it was as if Bai Li could hurt her eyes just by looking at it.
"Then you shall die!"
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen seemed to have noticed the displeasure from Bai Li's eyes, and she was infuriated by it.
She stood up from the ground.
As she had been lying prostrate on the ground, she had shorter but powerful legs that were curled up, while her abdomen was densely filled with scales, stretched and flattened onto the ground.
However, the queen had now resized her waist and extended her legs to support her body, and was standing up.
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen had now taken the form of a complete female; however, her body was still densely covered by scales.
"You shall die now!"
The queen took out the whip from her waist, and as a silver light flashed through, the whip was swept toward Bai Li.
Bai Li was immediately on high alert.
"This whip looks good!"
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen let out a cold sneer. "Then you shall die to this!"
Whip!
The whip was aimed at Bai Li, the ray of silver light flashed through and a pitch black spatial rift had been cracked open.
Such an attack from the rift would definitely destroy every defensive capabilities of its victim.
Surprisingly, the whip was a spatial rune equipment.
Bai Li sneered as the spatial rift that was formed around her began to heal by itself.
As the surrounding runes intensified, Qin Feng was further pressured within his own internal strength.
Qin Feng immediately pressed his left arm toward the rock and began to channel his explosive conscious energy.
"Lava Flow Style!"
All of a sudden, fire runes began to encroach into the earth runes and instantly melted into dark red lava.
Boom!
Lava began to gush out from Qin Feng's left arm and was blasted out in a straight line for more than ten meters.
"Ah!!!"
The Sand Lizardfolk beast general was instantly tossed out and submerged into the melted lava.
Qin Feng dashed away from the edged stone wall and began to slaughter with his Verdant Emperor Saber.
Swoosh!
The beast general was struck with a hit of Burning Sword Glare on its body.
Crack!
The hit had landed onto the body of the beast general that was covered with extremely solid scales, flames exploded from the Verdant Emperor Saber and sparked in all directions, without any doubt, the hit from the saber had overpowered the defences of its opponent.
An arm was completely cut off.
Qin Feng pressed on with his attacks and followed up with another hit.
Poof!
A Sand Lizardfolk was beheaded and the skull rolled on the ground with scales that were still attached to it.
The Sand Lizardfolk beast general had been slain!
"Damn it!"
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen was infuriated and lashed her whip toward Qin Feng.
"Pfft!" All of a sudden, Qin Feng's internal strength was destroyed as a dark rift began to continue the strike. It was as if Qin Feng was about to be devoured by it.
Chapter 333: Spatial Whip
Space runes.
Qin Feng was equally surprised.
A black colored crack appeared in the air before it was sent flying toward him.
"Die!"
"Repulsion!"
Qin Feng's hands frantically sprayed out internal force. The Asteroid Assimilation's internal force surged out and the huge wave of energy repelled the space runes.
Whoosh whoosh!
The crack that was headed toward Qin Feng closed up but there were two more cracks that slashed at the wall behind him. They bore the marks that looked like they had just been gouged by those void slashes!
"You're fighting me!"
Bai Li roared, thinking that the Sand Lizardfolk Queen had just challenged her prestige as a beast emperor. Since they were being recorded, Bai Li did not dare use her spatial manipulation, but by relying on only her physical strength and claws, she felt that she could kill the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.
"Now die!"
Bai Li swung her hands forward and suddenly five pairs of white slashes interlocked into a large net-shape, flying toward the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.
The ultra beast no longer bothered with pursuing Qin Feng, turning to deal with Bai Li.
Qin Feng used this opportunity and landed on the sand lizardfolk general's head before ripping out its beast general crystal core.
"Aahh!"
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen cried out in pain. Bai Li's barrage of attacks landed some hits on her and caused a few deep gashes on her body.
Qin Feng quickly dashed in for an attack.
"Die!"
The Burning Sword Glare cut into the Sand Lizardfolk Queen's body, causing her to abruptly scream as the scales on her body were charred black.
"You will die to me!!" She cried out in a fit of rage, violently stomping on the ground to cause the ground to shake and the entire hall to collapse.
Boom!
Outside among the yellow sand, an area began to suddenly sink without warning and formed a huge sinkhole.
"Blazing Sky!"
A blade tip rose up into the sky, bursting out from the huge sinking hole in the desert.
Then, another hole appeared in the sands after an explosion. Qin Feng and Bai Li had just managed to dig their way out.
Crash!
More than one hundred meters away, a figure appeared on a hill. It was Deng Gong.
"Come out! Hurry!"
At a distance of around fifty meters from him, Han Nuan had also appeared, along with the women who had been abducted or trafficked. All of them carefully moved out.
"Look! It's the person who's come to save us!"
"They really came!"
'Everyone needs to stay together, that Sand Lizardfolk Queen definitely has more tricks up its sleeve!' Han Nuan thought anxiously.
It was at this moment that something else burst out of the yellow sands, it was the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.
"You will all die, hahaha! Sandstorm!"
A strong wind swept across the desert, forming into a huge vortex that surrounded Qin Feng and Bai Li as they came out of the pothole.
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen also had the earth ability, which was even more powerful. It was just that the spatial whip it had was too rare to not use, which was why she had been using it this whole time.
Right now, the enraged Sand Lizardfolk Queen obviously wanted to use other methods to kill the two.
A sandstorm began to kick up in the middle of the desert, forming a tornado that was more than twenty meters tall.
Qin Feng could feel the wind's rotation as it scoured at his internal force, trying to rip him apart.
Whoosh!
A large rock that was picked up by the wind spiralled toward him in a direct course for collision.
Qin Feng swung the Verdant Emperor Saber and instantly slashed at the rock.
Ping!
The rock exploded, turning into smaller rocks that rained down onto him as the sandstorm wrapped itself around his body.
"Stop this right now!" Bai Li was still in Qin Feng's arms, and let out a frustrated yell before raising her hands.
In an instant, a pair of white claw slashes tore through the air. It was like a giant pair of hands that had burst out of the void, grabbing and tearing the sandstorm apart.
Qin Feng felt the turbulence around him coming to an abrupt end as the churning wind and spiraling sand was dispersed.
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen was taken aback for a minute or two, as if she could not believe what had just happened. Not even a powerful sandstorm could take care of these two.
Qin Feng raised his weapon and slashed down from top to bottom.
"Blazing Sky!"
A bright blue flame burst out from the blade.
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen's pupils shrunk and she raised her hand, causing a huge wall of earth to burst out over her.
Boom!
The Blazing Sky technique crashed into the wall's surface and shattered it with an explosion.
It was then the Sand Lizardfolk Queen finally understood what fear was and quickly tore open a spatial passage with her whip.
"Running away? I didn't agree to that!" Bai Li slammed her palm downward and a giant white claw slashed down from the sky, cutting through the spatial passage in an instant.
Pop!
The spatial passage shattered instantly.
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen did not have time to enter either!
Qin Feng was right behind her now, and when the spatial passage shattered, her body began to turn into sand, disintegrating into the desert.
How could he let her escape?
"Hell Magma!"
Within one hundred meters, everything instantly turned into a huge magma pool.
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen had nowhere to escape!
It really was an earth-shattering battle.
The large waves of sand, the twisting sandstorms, the ground turning into magma and the flames licking at the air were a shocking sight.
Qin Feng and Bai Li had long left their original point as they chased after the Sand Lizardfolk Queen. This battle startled many ultra beasts who were minding their own business in the desert.
It also naturally alarmed Shadong Town.
They had no idea what was going on.
"Chee! Chee!"
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen had been severely injured with wounds all over her body.
Naturally she would start calling for help.
Poof poof poof poof!
A stream of sand lizardfolk burst out from seemingly nowhere, using their bodies to deter Qin Feng and Bai Li.
That was a useless attempt, even their combined power was no match for these two's combined strength.
"If you're going to die then get out of the way! I've got no time to deal with you!" Qin Feng laughed frostily, slashing through a Lizardman's throat.
Along the chase, over a hundred meters, over a hundred Lizardfolk had died.
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen was getting weak, her body unable to sustain her transformation and she had resorted to crawling on all fours. Her body was either scorched or injured by claw marks.
Swish!
Another white claw came out from thin air, Bai Li's feet were not even touching the ground and she still quickly moved forward. These claws were naturally her masterpiece.
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen felt as if she sensed something and immediately tried to dodge the attack. She only managed to dodge one claw attack and could not react in time for the next one.
"Pfft!"
"Argh!"
The Sand Lizardfolk Queen screamed as her arm was cut off. Not only that, it was the arm that held the spatial whip.
"My whip!"
She desperately tried to grab the whip with her other arm but by the time she reached out, it had already landed in someone else's hands.
It was Bai Li.
"From now on, this whip is mine!" Bai Li inspected the whip for a moment before quickly swinging it.
A silver glow of light followed the whip's afterimage and turned into a spatial crack in less than a millisecond that swept toward the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.
She had wanted to escape but realized that there was no possible way to avoid it. She could not even properly detect those spatial runes with her consciousness!
The space runes! There were too many of them!
By then, Qin Feng had already caught up. His body twirled as he caught sight of the ultra beast, with a gust of sandy wind blowing behind him, and the Sand Lizardfolk Queen's body instantly collapsed.
Besides an intact head, the Sand Lizardfolk Queen had definitely been slain!
Chapter 334: Summoning Gateway
"Hreeek!"
A piercing roar rang out.
Qin Feng and Bai Li were suddenly surrounded by hundreds of sand lizardfolk.
They were all in a wild sprint toward the direction of where the Sand Lizardfolk Queen had fallen.
Around two hundred or so of the sand lizardfolk were annihilated under Qin Feng and Bai Li's rampage, now there looked to be about three hundred remaining. It was actually more Lizards than he originally imagined.
"Retract!"
Qin Feng's consciousness shifted and the Sand Lizardfolk Queen's head exploded, only leaving behind a fist-sized energy crystal core that resembled a miniscule planet in his palm.
The sand lizardfolk collectively became enraged at the sight.
Not only did he kill their clan leader, he had also taken away the sand lizardfolk's most important crystal core.
Qin Feng's actions drove them over the edge!
"Sacrifice! Summon!"
Among the sand lizardfolk, an elderly looking beast general abruptly spread out its consciousness.
Qin Feng was not sure what was going on but there was a creeping sense of dread that began to slowly grasp at his heart.
Bang!
One sand lizardfolk abruptly and violently exploded into a shower of sandstone.
Bang! Bang bang!
One by one, more sand lizardfolk began to explode and the sandstone was swept up into the air, collecting into the shape of a large gateway.
The sandstone gate was a hundred meters wide and fifty meters tall, an incredible size.
A Summoning Gateway.
The gate made out of the accumulated sandstone still had the background of the desert behind it, but in the blink of an eye its interior glowed with a silver light before the scenery framed by the gateway was painted pitch black.
The gateway, no a spatial rift had just been opened up!
Every intelligent species, like human beings, had mastered the secrets of space time. Even then, the human beings' understanding of such secrets paled in comparison to what the intelligent ultra beasts knew!
At that time, humans did not know how to use other kinds of energy to break open spatial rifts. The most they were able to comprehend was how to seal them using energy.
Meanwhile, the sand lizardfolk had just used a suicide ritual to open the largest spatial rift he had ever seen since his rebirth.
The thing looked like a damned runway to him! With how tall and wide it was, it might as well be enough for behemoths to step through!
Qin Feng's expression paled at the thought!
From the rift, an E-tier ultra beast crawled out. It was a desert lizard.
Very quickly, it was joined by countless more desert lizards. As they exited the rift and stepped onto the sand, they made rustling noises as they moved.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Behind them was a D-tier crawling dragon!
While that might have just been an ordinary ultra beast, it had a body length of twenty meters long. It definitely qualified as an ultra behemoth.
It did not stop there, the rift was still spitting out ultra beasts.
"B*stards! Stop moving!" Qin Feng roared and unleashed a powerful attack.
"Hell Magma!"
The front of the rift turned into a huge pool of magma.
Pop! Plop!
"Hroar!"
"Scree!"
As soon as more ultra beasts stepped out of the rift, the ones that fell into the lava began to scream.
"Cut the feed!" Qin Feng called out before turning off his video recording, Bai Li following suit soon after.
His consciousness began to spread out.
Papapapapapapa!
Due to Qin Feng's battle, all of the nearby drones in the North Sea Desert were sent over to monitor the situation. It was not clear to him just how many people would see the image.
In the headquarters in Shadong Town, the video feeds all turned into static.
The already grumpy Hu Liang let out a frustrated grunt.
"What the hell is going on over there?!" He let out a roar.
The people nearby scattered like startled hens at his outburst, unwilling to make a sound except for Hu Liang's deputy, who quickly wiped sweat off his brow and said, "General Hu, Mr. Qin must have destroyed the drones so we can't monitor him!"
"Monitor? What do you mean monitor? What, you didn't see the giant f*cking space hole that just ripped open in the middle of the desert? You didn't hear the alarm? What if some kind of an overpowered ultra beast crawls out of there? What are you waiting for? Shadong Town to collapse?"
The deputy continued to wipe away the cold sweat that was dripping from his face.
"Then… should we send more drones, General Hu?"
The drones were no more than just half a meter long machines and there were at least a thousand of them in the desert.
"No point. The situation is critical. Get all the D-tiers you can and tell them to go check out the area!"
"But… but… that's sand lizardfolk territory!"
"Did you get dropped on your head or were you born dumb? What lizardfolk? Their clan leader just died! Now get me a combat hover copter, I'm going too!"
"Yes, General!"
Hu Liang gathered four to five D-tier aptitude users and rushed off to the wilds of the North Sea Desert!
At this time, the land of the sand lizardfolk had been turned into a sea of magma. In the magma were all bones, crystal cores, ultra beast skin and claws.
There was nothing alive!
"Bai Li! Seal the rift! Quickly!" Qin Feng exclaimed.
Bai Li nodded, activating her power, and a silver glow began to envelop the front of the gigantic rift.
In an instant, the black rift turned into a brilliant silver.
"Roar!"
From the giant rift, a massive ultra beast pushed out a large hand.
Boom!
This hand was covered in scales and if Qin Feng had to guess, it was probably the hand of a tarrasque.
It had giant claws, a full two meters in length and each nail like giant hooks. Under the scorching sun, they reflected a chilling glint. There was no way of judging just how many creatures had been slain by those very claws.
Pop!
The silver light was punctured and a black crack began to appear over it.
Bai Li was furious.
Crack!
The silver light glowed, immediately surrounding the crack as well as the arm of that C-tier ultra beast.
"Shut!"
Crash!
There was a crisp sound, like a mirror emitting silver light being shattered before turning into flecks of glowing energy that began to dissipate.
Looking at where the huge gateway was, there would be nothing by the desert scenery and the boundless dimming sky.
No rift. No space runes either!
Boom!
The giant hand fell into the magma, making quite the splash as the flesh was cooked and blood was boiled in the blink of an eye before turning into grey ash. Only the nails and scales were left behind.
"Hoo!" Qin Feng's forehead was drenched in sweat.
Having to maintain such a huge range of Hell Magma also consumed a large amount of his consciousness.
Finally. It was all over!
"Rise!"
Qin Feng manipulated his consciousness and the materials in the magma floated up and began to stack up beside him.
Bai Li waved her hand at the pile and swept them away.
"Store!"
The fiery element of Hell Magma was recovered one after another in the blink of an eye.
"Bzzzz!"
From across the horizon, several combat hover copters suddenly came into view.
Qin Feng raised his head and looked up, thinking for a moment before realizing they were probably from Shadong Town!
Just as he expected, the combat hover copters began to descend.
The first person he saw was Hu Liang.
From what Hu Liang saw when in the air, there was a huge sandstone gateway towering over the desert. There were hundreds of meters of black-colored lime* on the ground but no sign of any ultra beasts.
"What's going on? Wasn't there a rift before? Where did the rift go?" Hu Liang demanded.
Translator's Notes: Lime as in limestone.
Chapter 335: Risking Life for Some Riches
Qin Feng naturally would not have answered, as the rift was handled by spatial beast emperor Bai Li.
"The sand lizardfolk are only D-tier, they sacrificed themselves to try and summon such a massive spatial rift but it was unstable so it collapsed on itself!" He decided to blatantly lie.
Hu Liang was not entirely convinced. "What about the ultra beasts then?"
Qin Feng replied in a calm manner, "The ultra beasts were only E-tier beasts. Don't you think I'd be strong enough to handle those kinds of creatures? Everything you see on the ground here was caused by my Magma technique!"
"That does make sense!" Hu Liang still had his doubts as he did not know what occurred, but the results were clear to him. Regardless of Qin Feng's methods, in the end, the appearance of the giant spatial rift did not cause any massive changes to the North Sea Desert.
"General Hu, there was just a battle here and a beast king was just slain. Its aura had spread out to make this into a beast king's battleground which is why no other ultra beasts have appeared yet. If we keep staying here though, we might find out who's the new owner of this territory!"
Hu Liang's face fell, "I understand, but Mr. Qin you've done a great job today. You took out a beast king and wiped out an entire tribe. We will give you the rewards you deserve!"
Qin Feng nodded, then said, "In that direction you'll find the few people I rescued from the sand lizardfolk's underground tunnels, now that you're here they can be brought back!"
Hu Liang did not know what happened, but he nodded before ordering for a combat hover copter to find the people that Bai Li rescued.
"Mr. Qin, are you still going to stay here? It'll be getting dark soon!" Hu Liang asked.
"I still have some things I want to do. Take care, General. I'll head back after a while!" Qin Feng raised a hand to his head in a respectful salute.
Hu Liang thought about it for a moment and realized what Qin Feng was going to do! The Sand Lizardfolk Queen had been slain but there were still the sand lizardfolk's warrens below!
The sand lizardfolk hoarded fire diamonds which were highly valuable.
It was a shame that all of those had become Qin Feng's possessions. Whoever tried to take a piece of it would have come out with a few more pieces of themselves missing.
While it was not exactly clear how the rift disappeared, it was clear that Qin Feng killed the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.
Someone who could take on a king was naturally around the same level themselves.
The D-tiers near the hover copters stared at him with a mixture of awe and envy.
"Looks like the beast emperor crystal core wasn't bought in vain. Turns out someone so young has a king's level of power!'
"Of course it wasn't in vain! He bought it for 100 billion!"
"Earning 10 billion per year would still have to take ten years worth of time. Ten years later, the kid's probably going to be C tier!"
"Right now this Qin Feng's probably going to rob the sand lizardfolk's warrens!"
"Yeah, even then we still can't go. The guy fought hard to get it so don't provoke him. These rewards are befitting of someone who can rival a king in terms of power!"
"These aren't just any kind of benefits!"
"How much benefit is worth risking your life for?"
The others were talking amongst themselves by now and it was clear that Qin Feng, without a doubt, had become the subject of their envy and admiration.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng and Bai Li had gone off into the entrance where Deng Gong had escaped from before. When he spread out his consciousness, he sensed that the underground passageways spread out in all directions.
He grabbed Bai Li by the hand and went down a path. The corner of his mouth twitched with dissatisfaction.
After a while, he saw a figure in the tunnel he went down.
It turned out to be Deng Gong.
"Ah!" Deng Gong let out a startled yelp when he saw Qin Feng and Bai Li. The next thing he did was turn tail and run.
"Hmph."
With an indifferent huff, his internal force was unleashed and had wrapped itself around Deng Gong's body.
Thud!
Deng Gong dropped to the ground, unable to move from the pressure. He could not even raise his head and could only lay sprawled out on the ground.
"You really plan on throwing your life away for some cash, huh?" Qin Feng said coldly.
Deng Gong was panicking and shakened to the core, "Sir. Sir, I was wrong, I shouldn't have come here. Sir, all of the sand lizardfolk's treasures are yours!"
"Aren't they all supposed to belong to me in the first place?"
Deng Gong's forehead was drenched in sweat.
Qin Feng asked in a low voice, "Deng Gong. Does the Desert Eagle Organization know about your deal?"
Deng Gong could only slightly nod his head, "Yea. Yes!"
"So Guo Geng also knew?"
"Sir, if the Boss wasn't involved, how would I have been able to contact the sand lizardfolk?"
Deng Gong was only E-tier and was about as strong as a juvenile sand lizardfolk. If all of this was on Deng Gong then it would probably have been impossible.
"Then I have one last question for you. Where is Guo Geng now?"
Deng Gong quickly answered, "Sir… the Boss… No, no, Guo Geng should be in Wangbei Town by now, a small town near Qihan City. But… but he always changes places. I'm always talking to him via communicator, if you want to find him then I can call him right now!"
Crack!
Qin Feng stepped on the other's wrist, instantly shattering the communicator along with Deng Gong's wrist.
"Aaah!" Deng Gong let out a pained scream.
"No need. If I want to find him, then I'll find him myself. No matter where, I'll find him!"
Qin Feng raised a fist, and began to send out large quantities of internal force from it before bringing it down on Deng Gong's body.
The Asteroid Assimilation was activated, completely absorbing all of the internal strength inside Deng Gong's dantian!
There was fear in his eyes as he felt his internal force get abruptly drained from his body. He could not even say a word.
Qin Feng flicked his wrist and the Verdant Emperor Saber was wreathed in flames before it sliced toward Deng Gong's neck
Without internal strength and being restrained by Qin Feng's aura, Deng Gong could only stare at his incoming death, unable to avoid it, unable to look away! The man died while his eyes were open!
As the head was lopped off, it was placed inside Qin Feng's spatial rune equipment. With another flick of his wrist, Deng Gong's body was instantly turned to ash with a burst of hellfire.
As the flames burned the body away, some rune equipment was also exposed.
Qin Feng picked up a silver ring studded with gemstones and scanned it with his consciousness. He then discovered that there was a box of fire diamonds inside.
The treasure of the sand lizardfolk was indeed here!
"Alright!" Qin Feng said.
"Did he take anything good? We haven't even packed the treasure yet, and I want that tiara that the Sand Lizardfolk Queen was wearing. It's so pretty!" Bai Li said.
Qin Feng's lips twitched into a smile. "That has the best fire diamond out of all of them, it can even be used in the place of an ultra beast crystal core for rune equipment, but if you like it, then you can use it as jewelry!"
"That sounds good. I'll have to thank you then, hubby!" Bai Li said playfully as she held Qin Feng's hand.
"Hey, you're the one who's the hero this time. Why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you!"
'Thanking you for fighting side by side with me, running all over the place on this road of rebirth. I no longer feel alone, on the contrary, it has been quite fun.'
***
The Cloud Nine was extremely fast. Although Qin Feng went down the underground passage of the sand lizardfolk before leaving, he arrived well before Hu Liang and the others did when he headed back to Shadong Town.
As soon as the Cloud Nine arrived, it was discovered by many people.
Qin Feng had chosen to land on the roof of the aptitude user's hall, after all, the place was close enough!
After putting away the Cloud Nine, Qin Feng entered the hall.
He then reached the reception area on the second floor and sent the video via his communicator.
"Certify this information!"
Chapter 336: D Tier Badge
The person behind the counter was the same person that tended to Qin Feng earlier. He obviously knew what task Qin Feng had taken.
Shadong Town was close to the frontline, even a little bit of trouble would have been a crisis that could lead to city-wide devastation.
That meant that the news here was almost transparent and available for all.
"Yes Sir, I'll handle this right away! Right away!" The person, breaking into cold sweat, reviewed the video that Qin Feng submitted.
The feed was rolling quickly on the screen, the system automatically tallying up the number of creatures as a red box appeared to indicate how many ultra beasts Qin Feng had killed.
281!
That was the final number displayed.
Qin Feng not only completed the D-tier mission but he had killed more than a hundred sand lizardfolk.
Since when was it so easy to deal with sand lizardfolk? They were D-tier intelligent ultra beasts, and there were not that many D-tiers in Shadong Town!
Being the person in charge of the review, in addition to a mechanical review, he could also flip through the video himself for a manual review of authenticity. He pulled out three clips from the video to look over before selecting a random one among the three to watch it.
What he saw was Qin Feng sweeping his sword in a horizontal strike, and the sand lizardfolk not reacting as their heads were shrouded in fire and cut off.
It was too fast!
The image had to be slowed down several times over before it could be properly seen by the attendant.
At this moment, the attendant was so scared that color had drained from his face.
Knock knock!
Qin Feng rapped his knuckle against the counter. "Are you done?"
The person quivered at the sound of the knocks before quickly pressing the 'Complete' button.
The system began to automatically sound out.
[ Beep beep. Certification passed. Congratulations, you have obtained the D-tier aptitude assessment, and have grown stronger! ]
A badge was reverently and respectfully handed to Qin Feng…
"Sir! This is your badge!"
By a pair of shaking hands.
Qin Feng took the badge and replaced his E-tier badge.
Bai Li was next, passing on her video and had a number of kills that was also above two hundred and successfully passing her certification.
Both of them were officially certified as D-Tier aptitude users.
"Oh yeah, I want to ask you something!" Qin Feng said casually. "Who was the one who set this mission?"
The attendant was sweating buckets by now.
Qin Feng just looked at the person, no longer pressing on with the issue.
But that attendant was too nervous. He envisioned Qin Feng bringing out the Verdant Emperor Saber and cutting his head off.
"Its Lei! Lei Chang!" The attendant said.
Qin Feng nodded. "You can go back to work, I won't bother you anymore!"
"No, no bother at all! I'm not bothered!"
"Let's go back!" Qin Feng smiled at Bai Li as he grabbed her hand, not giving the attendant any more attention as they left.
Once Qin Feng and Bai Li were out of sight, the attendant slumped to the ground. He did not want to stay in Shadong Town for long, deciding to up and leave in case Qin Feng came back to find him or that he got into trouble with Lei Chang.
This was a thankless job and neither side could be considered human.
The Silver Bolt took Qin Feng and Bai Li back to the hotel that Hu Liang arranged for them, where they began to divy up the day's harvest.
Five boxes of fire diamonds, with one box worth up to seven hundred to eight hundred million, a total of forty billion in loot, even more than the Sand Lizardfolk Queen's crystal core on its own.
The wealth of the sand lizardfolk was not the wealth of an individual!
There were also spirit herbs that grew underground, which had been plucked by Deng Gong from the Sand Lizardfolk Queen's garden.
Qin Feng enjoyed a haul of spirit herbs that were worth about ten billion in total.
He was not going to sell them, but instead plant them in the Battlegod Tomb since the environment there was just right.
Bai Li took a few high quality fire diamonds and used the Magical Tesseract to make them into a bunch of necklaces and bracelets.
Qin Feng picked up a fire diamond, holding it in the center of his palm.
"Ability, Absorb!"
Boom!
He suddenly felt a scorching heat pass through him, as if he was directly facing the sun's intense heat.
From within the fire diamond, fire runes came pouring out one after the other and dug into Qin Feng's consciousness.
The Hell Stone then changed the fire runes before they were integrated into the Diamond Starglobe.
As his level increased, the amount of fire runes needed for him to learn new abilities had increased as well and he did not have enough of them until the fire diamond solved the urgent issue.
Wordlessly passing through the night, Qin Feng spent his time meditating.
The next morning, there was another wave of ultra beasts rushing toward Shadong Town. He and Bai Li did not delay, rushing to the frontline as fast as they could.
This time, there was an endless wave of bugs. They were a combined mass of constantly shifting darkness.
"Gunners, cover fire! Throw bombs into the air, quick!"
Hu Liang commanded in a voice that sounded more like a roar.
On the battlefield, there were sounds of gunfire finding their marks as the horde clashed into the defensive line made out of ancient warriors. Even with their defense, their line could be broken through at any moment.
They were fighting against an unprecedented crisis.
"Tectonic Split!"
An Earth ability user slammed his palms into the ground, causing the earth to rumble violently before a giant crack around ten meters was formed.
It was to give the people on the frontline a place to entrench themselves, but before anything could be done the trench was overwhelmed by countless insectoids in mere moments!
"Fuse!"
Unexpectedly, the ability user once again activated his power, closing the trench and crushing the insectoids within!
"Huu…huu…" Chen Xiang was breathing hard, he was the only ability user at the moment.
The other D-tier aptitude users were trying their best, frantically fighting against the tide to prevent the ultra beasts from reaching Shadong Town.
"No!"
An E-tier aptitude user cried out as a huge beetle more than two meters long broke through the line, tearing right through the person.
"Beast general! Golden scarab beast general!"
Everyone was suddenly afraid, and in that slight lapse, the line was broken.
At that moment, a blue light burst out of nowhere, like a huge peacock spreading its feathers.
Boom!
The beast general was sent flying.
Then, a figure stood where the now dead E-tier aptitude user was and continued the fight.
The people around looked at the figure and suddenly a wave of confidence flowed through their hearts. Not for anything else, but they could all see the D tier aptitude user badge on the new person's chest.
It was Qin Feng!
Qin Feng waved his Verdant Emperor Saber left and right, slashing through scores of insectoids like they were made out of wet paper.
The amount that he killed was just terrifying.
'No wonder Shadong Town was wiped out in a month's time!'
'I don't know if what Bai Li said was right or not, maybe the rifts in the North Sea Desert were opened by the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.'
'If so, now that the Sand Lizardfolk Queen's already dead, disasters would happen again!'
Qin Feng moved with the knowledge of someone from the future. Although he was not clear on the exact situation in Shadong Town before his rebirth, he does remember that when he went to Shadong Town, the situation was not here but in fact closer to the Four Cities!
So that could only mean that Shadong Town had to move again.
On the battle net it was stated that Shadong Town's entire army was wiped out. The date was March of this year, which would be one month from now.
Chapter 337: The Mouthpiece of the Freemen Alliance
If he remembered it correctly, the battle net did not exactly have a definitive account of the destruction of Shadong Town.
Maybe it was because of curiosity or wanting recognition for his own strength, Qin Feng decided to investigate it this time around.
What was more, with Bai Li, if he wanted to escape, he could escape whenever he wanted to!
As he thought about it, his hands did not stop moving. Qin Feng's Verdant Emperor Saber swung and swung again, killing everything in all directions.
"Burning Sword Glare!"
The Sword Glare spread out, reaching out to a full ten meters and instantly cleared Qin Feng's surroundings.
He broke through the swarm, sweeping through the field and left corpses in his wake.
Easily overpowering everything that came at him like they were nothing but dried sticks and dead leaves, he made sure that every single insectoid that came within range did not make it out alive.
"Quickly! Secure the battle line!"
"It'll be fine if there's a D-tier aptitude user here! We need to move to the other side!"
"Help that side!"
The situation of the battle was gradually changing.
The originally collapsing frontline was being restored by Qin Feng's arrival, wherever he went he did not need any assistance from other aptitude users.
With him basically killing everything around him, that brought some relief to some people so that they could help out others. Gradually, the encirclement got bigger and bigger and the insectoids also had a drastic decrease in their numbers.
Even so, the battle lasted for a full eight hours and the battlefield was left with bloody wounds, shattered limbs and brooding moods.
"Hoo!"
Qin Feng retracted the Verdant Emperor Saber and turned back. At this time, many D-tiers had retreated, being exhausted.
"Sir Qin Feng, thank you for your hard work. This way please, we've already prepared a special car to send you back."
"Okay, thank you!"
"No, you're the one we should be thanking, Sir Qin Feng. You saved many aptitude users today and killed so many insectoids! Of course, Ms Bai Li too!"
Bai Li scoffed flippantly, "They're just a bunch of bugs, too weak!"
Qin Feng covered her mouth with a hand before she could continue. "Shhhhh!"
She decided to shut up after that.
In the next moment, Qin Feng was stopped by a voice.
"Old pal Qin, let's go together?"
It was Chen Xiang.
"Sure!" Qin Feng gave him a small smile.
Chen Xiang glanced at the D-tier aptitude user badges clipped onto Qin Feng and Bai Li's chests. Even though they had just received the news yesterday, seeing it in person was a shocking sight for him.
"Look at the mess we are in right now. Why don't we go to the hot springs, it's a treat that only aptitude users get to enjoy!"
Shadong Town was built in a desert and near the frontlines, which meant that water was scarce, the very concept of a hot spring here would have been ludicrous.
"Sounds good, I could use some relaxing!" Qin Feng said.
While he said he wanted to relax, it seemed like what Chen Xiang meant by this invitation was that he had some things he wanted to say.
Qin Feng did not reject the idea, getting in the car that would take him to the bathhouse.
During the end times, being someone strong brought real enjoyment. It brought about a life of indulgence in luxury that the poor would never be able to see.
Separate bathtubs were prepared with warm water being injected into them through the use of pipes that provided a kind of water based massage that would relieve the body of its stress.
Chen Xiang's face grew serious and did not have the casual tone that he used before.
"Qin Feng, you've been in Shadong Town for three days, what are your thoughts on the front line?" he asked.
"Intensive combat with danger around every corner!" Qin Feng replied.
Chen Xiang laughed bitterly, "Out of all the D-tier aptitude users that came to Shadong Town, you're the only one who has it the easiest!"
Qin Feng mentioned that there were dangers, but obviously he did not hold the dangers with very high regard.
"In Shadong Town, because of its mobility, the number of D-tier aptitude users are fixed at about a hundred people. Otherwise the frontline would have collapsed!" Chen Xiang said, "There's an endless amount of ultra beasts here, a constant stream of missions with E-tier and F-tier aptitude users constantly being transferred from the Four Cities of the North Sea, and not all of them make it back!"
Afterall, too many people died in the frontlines.
"If this goes on, Shadong Town is going to drag down the Four Cities sooner or later, and even if we don't collapse today, we're going to fall sooner or later!"
"Well, sounds like it can't be helped," Qin Feng said off-handedly.
"No, there's actually a way!" Chen Xiang said abruptly.
Qin Feng raised his brow, knowing that Chen Xiang looked for him for a reason, which was why he followed him.
"In the North Sea Desert, golden sand worms have the largest number, they multiply fast and are constantly absorbing energy from the land. They can turn the dirt into sand, it can be said that these golden sand worms are the culprits behind the desertification of the North Sea Desert," Chen Xiang explained.
"So what you're saying is, we need to exterminate them?"
The golden sand worms were not like the sand lizardfolk who had four to five hundred in numbers. These were insectoids, which meant that their numbers were in the hundreds of thousands.
Qin Feng pulled out his communicator and looked at the situation regarding the ultra beasts around Shadong Town and the number of golden sand worms was instantly displayed.
"There's two hundred thousand golden sand worms?"
That number was terrifying!
With such a large number, if the sand worms were to attack in a large wave, it was not just Shadong Town, the Four Cities on the North Sea would also get buried!
Of course, the insectoids had their own territory and their migration was very slow.
It seemed that Shadong Town's crisis was still quite severe!
"Yes, this is exactly what's frustrating us!" Chen Xiang huffed.
This is a situation similar to the feeling of resting your head under a guillotine with a very weak rope!
"You just came to Shadong Town, so I don't expect you to know the situation. Hu Liang is the commander of Shadong Town designated by the Human Alliance, and he actively fights the ultra beasts and insectoids all the time, but in truth he does very little!"
Qin Feng did not speak, he still had a good impression of Hu Liang.
"People from the aristocratic families and the large groups hardly ever listen to him! He doesn't have a lot of use really!"
Understandable reasoning.
"In order to maintain the social climate of Shadong Town, many aptitude users that come here have formed their own cliques so they can help one another. I'm from one such circle, it's called the Freemen Alliance. Our current ringleader is called Yan Fang! A D8 ancient warrior!"
That made Qin Feng frown. Yan Fang? He knows that person from the world before his rebirth, he was an A-tier aptitude user.
That meant that their position was not in the Human Alliance, but the Dark Coalition!
Qin Feng quickly regained composure, not wanting Chen Xiang to think that something was wrong.
Chen Xiang continued, "A while ago, Yang Fang said that he wanted to gather enough manpower to exterminate the golden sand worms, but everyone was hesitant at that time. After all, everyone was too weak! However, yesterday I saw the video that came from the frontline and realized that this isn't an impossible task!"
He looked directly at Qin Feng, speaking with an excited tone. "Qin Feng, after you have absorbed that beast emperor crystal core, aren't you at the king level? I mean, how else would you have faced the Sand Lizardfolk Queen in a one-on-one battle, and kill her even!"
Qin Feng naturally would not have told Chen Xiang the truth, his consciousness, his current power level had reached the point of the emperor level.
"I wasn't fighting alone yesterday, I had Bai Li at my side!"
"Huh! You're a real formidable pair!"
Chapter 338: The Clean-up Plan
Bai Li's attacks were quite scary and vicious, and Bai Li always had a cold look on her face. Those people who did not have dirty thoughts about her would not dare to interact with Bai Li that easily.
What was more, between the pair, Bai Li was an otherworldly creature and much more difficult to communicate with. Naturally, Chen Xiang felt that talking to Qin Feng would be much easier as the message would also be better conveyed to Bai Li as well.
"Bro, I understand what you're saying, so you want me to exterminate the worm queen?" Qin Feng asked.
Even Qin Feng did not dare to promise that he would be able to defeat the worm queen.
The more capable the beast king was, the more powerful it was, and the worm queen was the most threatening beast among them.
And there were too many instances where fighting in groups would be better than going solo.
"This is too dangerous! Although you killed the Sand Lizardfolk Queen, I wouldn't dare to let you face the tribe by yourself. We can all work together to kill the worm queen!" Chen Xiang motioned with his hands hurriedly.
"That's a great idea!" Qin Feng nodded.
The stiff expression on Chen Xiang's face finally relaxed.
"Are you planning to join our Freemen Alliance as well?"
Qin Feng, however, shook his head, "Since we're free men, why do we still need an alliance? Wouldn't it be unnecessary to form such an alliance? Let's just treat this as a collaboration work, we're just temporary teammates!"
Qin Feng did not want to get involved with Yan Fang for the time being.
He was not weak, though he was not much stronger than Qin Feng either.
But he would eventually become a member of the Dark Organization, and that was for certain.
It was better for Qin Feng to stay on guard.
"But…"
Just as Chen Xiang was about to say something, Qin Feng let out a faint laugh, "I'm a man who prefers absolute freedom, consider this cooperation my help to you, and as a show of gratitude for the time you helped me at the auction house!"
If it were not for giving Chen Xiang face, Qin Feng would not have agreed to this muddy trip.
After all, this was a worm queen siege.
Whether it was the Steel-limb Broodmother Queen or the Golden Ant Queen, an F-tier worm queen was very difficult to deal with, let alone a D-tier worm queen.
"Alright, we'll go by what you said. It would be good if we can get to know each other, and promise me we'll fight by each other's side in the future!" Chen Xiang said.
"Of course!"
Qin Feng nodded.
"Let's get going!"
Chen Xiang got up and put on the bathrobe that was placed next to him. Then, he led Qin Feng to the club's lounge.
Inside the lounge, there was already a group of people.
Not only were there aptitude users in bathrobes, there was also a group of beautiful young women in bikinis surrounding them.
As soon as Qin Feng entered the lounge, the crowd immediately turned their attention to them.
"Qin Feng, let me introduce you to the leader of the Freemen Alliance, Yan Fang!"
"Hello there!"
"Hi!"
Both men shook hands, and a glimmer of light flashed in both of their eyes.
"Mr Qin, we understand why you wouldn't want to join our alliance. For a strong man like you, it's obvious that you wouldn't want to be led by others. Of course, the Freemen Alliance itself isn't a bound alliance, so let's treat this cooperation as a temporary project and nothing more!"
"Of course!" Qin Feng nodded.
"Mr Qin, have a seat!"
"Mr Qin, do you require these beauties for your service?"
"Mr Qin doesn't need any beauties! He already has a girlfriend and she's a real beauty!"
The crowd spoke to Qin Feng one after another.
Qin Feng's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He despised the fact that these people were comparing Bai Li to these women who sold their bodies just so they could stay by these aptitude users' side.
"Don't worry about me, you guys enjoy yourselves!"
Qin Feng rejected their offer and sat alone on a sofa.
His demeanor became somewhat cold.
Everyone was somewhat sullen, and deep inside, they did not like Qin Feng very much.
In their opinion, Qin Feng was too arrogant.
Yan Fang looked shaken and he waved his hand to signal for the women to leave the lounge.
"Let's discuss the plan. Lately, the golden sand worms are on the move quite frequently. The faster we make our move, the better!"
Once they got to the main topic, Qin Feng's face warmed up a bit.
In fact, Yan Fang and the others knew what important matters they should focus on. The golden sand worms indeed posed a great danger to them, so dangerous that they must not dally around anymore.
More importantly, Yan Fang had found the Golden Sand Worm Queen's nest.
With that, they knew the location and the time to strike, and all that was missing was unity between the members!
With Qin Feng now in the team, they truly had the manpower to challenge the Golden Sand Worm Queen.
With that being said, the operation had been confirmed.
"There are two hundred thousand golden sand worms, and we have to clear at least ten thousand per day for a period of half a month. Toward the end, we'll start the siege on the Golden Sand Worm Queen. I'll register this mission with Hu Liang and make this our main mission, other urgent missions can wait!"
Chen Xiang was the first to frown. "I'm afraid the members of the Freemen Alliance would become too exhausted from killing a hundred worms, let alone ten thousand. That's an insane number!"
Only Yan Fang would think otherwise.
His eyes fell on Qin Feng.
"Kill as many as you can, leave the rest to me!" Qin Feng smiled faintly.
"Nice, I like you Mr Qin, you're always up for a good challenge!" Yan Fang smiled.
In fact, Qin Feng had only killed around four thousand golden sand worms in eight hours today. Qin Feng did not go all out as he did not want to show off too much in front of the other D-tier aptitude users.
And now, things were different since this was a mission. The more effort Qin Feng put in the more rewards he would get once the mission had been completed.
"Tomorrow, assemble here at 8 am sharp, and we'll head to the battlefield together! Hopefully, this time we'll be able to protect Shadong Town!" Yang Fang said.
The crowd was in high spirits.
They were no longer weak aptitude users, and naturally they would want to achieve something great.
They were now involved in the siege of the beast king. How could something like this not be exciting to them.
Moreover, they would be granted with great wealth once the siege was completed!
***
In the next morning, a platoon of combat hover copters flew past Shadong Town.
It was a bit strange that so many combat hover copters were deployed without any prior notice.
Lei Chang, who was still having his breakfast, frowned when he heard the hover copters. "What's going on? Are they on a big mission right now?"
With his powers, Lei Chang could sense the number of people inside the hover copters that were zooming through the sky.
There were more than forty D-tiers inside!
One of Lei Chang's goons immediately stepped forward. "It's Yan Fang's group, and they just won't give up on the Golden Sand Worm Queen. This time, they've grouped up with Qin Feng who has just bought the beast emperor crystal core. It looks like something big is about to happen!"
Lei Chang immediately frowned when he heard Qin Feng's name.
"Hmph!"
Lei Cheng snorted in dissatisfaction, and his glare turned fierce.
Before this, he had ordered people to set up Qin Feng, but never did he expect that Qin Feng would still be able to complete the task and slay the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.
Not only did Qin Feng gain the spotlight, he had also benefited from Lei Cheng's plan, unintentionally helping him to succeed in the mission.
How could Lei Chang not be angry?
Just thinking about it made Lei Chang's heart ache in anger.
"That damn brat!"
Lei Chang became even more infuriated.
The injuries that Lei Chang had received from the showdown at the auction house had mostly recovered, but it still somewhat affected his combat, which made him furious.
Although there was no need for him to risk his life in battle, again, Lei Chang had gained nothing in the past few days, and a lot of things had been delayed since.
Chapter 339: Yan Fang's Candy Trap
Now, Qin Feng had teamed up with Yan Fang and his people, and they were on their way out for a hunt. Just the thought of this made his blood boil.
At this time, the people in the hover copters had their missile scopes locked onto the area they wanted to attack.
While the golden sand worms were young, they had the strength of an F-tier. They could then evolve into E-tier ultra beasts once they had reached adulthood, and some of them could advance to D-tier if they were to grow well.
When the worm pack was on the move, the D-tier worm beasts would mix among the pack and they were extremely powerful.
Worse still, these D-tier worms were worm soldiers and generals.
In the entire pack, there was only one beast king—the Golden Sand Worm Queen. The queen hid underground and did not move much.
This was because the queen's strongest ability was reproduction.
Qin Feng had reached a location nearest to the golden sand worm's nest, while the others were a little further away.
Under the yellow sand, there were no visible traces of the golden sand worms.
The sand worms had the same appearance as sand, and they carried a shell that looked like golden sand pellets. Their mouths had strong suction power, and their teeth were sharp enough to easily bite through human bones.
The F-tier sand worm larvae were around a meter long, and the E-tiers were one and half meters long, which was almost the same height as humans!
On the other hand, the D-tier sandworms could reach up to two meters long, which was the size of a giant worm. It could easily flatten and crush a human being with just a single charge.
As soon as Qin Feng and Bai Li landed on the ground, a fearless golden sand worm larva emerged from the sand and bit onto Qin Feng.
Bang!
The golden sand worm collided onto Qin Feng's internal aura and was blasted away.
Qin Feng stepped forward and crushed the sand worm with his foot.
Poof!
Brown blood gushed out of the sand worm's body, and its foul smell stung Qin Feng's nose.
"If we hunt like this, how long will it take us to finish killing a few thousand of these worms?" Qin Feng thought. With a point of his finger, a weapon from his spatial rune equipment appeared in his hand.
It was a hand cannon!
Boom!
Qin Feng pushed the button and a cannonball was shot a hundred meters away.
Boom!
Sand, dusts and smoke arose upon impact.
The shockwave from the blast began to spread.
The golden sand worms hidden in the sand were enraged as they were startled by the blast.
Clatter!
The sand worms began to crawl out of the desert.
The yellow sand gradually turned gold with sand worms, and the sand worms swarmed toward Qin Feng like a big tide.
A gigantic golden sand worm then bit onto Qin Feng.
It was a D-tier golden sand worm.
Qin Feng was unfazed by the bite and wielded his Verdant Emperor Saber.
"Burning Sword Glare!"
The saber slashed horizontally, instantly splitting the golden sand worm into two.
Subsequently, monstrous flames sprung out from Qin Feng's body.
"Hellfire Carpet!"
Qin Feng's consciousness was able to spread to the range of one kilometer, and the fiery diamond core had even granted Qin Feng a monstrous fire rune.
This further enhanced the hellfire carpet's power.
All around Qin Feng, every corner of the desert within his sight was engulfed by a sea of fire.
"Squeak!"
The sand worms shrieked.
The flames roasted all of their bodies, turning them into charcoal in the blink of an eye.
Major kill!
If Qin Feng did not stop his powers, the flames could keep on killing the sand worms.
The golden sand worms quickly hid underground, but Qin Feng was not going to let them go. He reloaded his hand cannon and continued with his bombardment.
Boom!
This time, the cannon struck the hornet's nest, and thousands of insectoids surged out of the ground. Among them was actually a D-tier beast general.
The beast general was four meters long. As it dashed toward Qin Feng, it opened its mouth wide and swallowed Qin Feng whole into its stomach.
It swallowed Qin Feng in a single gulp without biting through Qin Feng's internal force.
Qin Feng sneered and pointed the Verdant Emperor Saber toward the sky.
"Blazing, Sky!"
Boom
Light burst out of his blade and pierced through the golden sand worm's shell from the inside, creating a huge opening.
Qin Feng instantly leaped out of it.
On the other hand, the beast general had received heavy damage and was on the verge of death.
The battle lasted for an hour, and Qin Feng finished off a beast general with ease.
Others did not dare to do it like Qin Feng.
The place they were at was actually ten kilometers away from the golden sand worms.
The two hundred thousand golden sand worms were too loosely dispersed, so the alliance advanced step by step.
It was just that Qin Feng was clearly not following them and going on his own killing spree. In a way, it did help make things easier for the others, relieving the pressure for them.
"This Qin Feng dude really did what he said he would do!"
"He lured most of the sand worms away, making things easier for us!"
"Qin Feng is so powerful!"
Bai Li was at the battle area right next to Qin Feng, and on her other side was Yan Fang.
Bai Li was sitting on a sand dune, watching Qin Feng's battle with boredom.
In just an hour's time, Bai Li had killed a hundred golden sand worms, after which she stopped hunting.
If any of the golden sand worms were to mess with Bai Li, Bai Li would release her aura to scare them away.
Ever since fighting with Qin Feng, the range of Qin Feng's absorption ability was too vast. Because of this, Bai Li did not like killing ultra beasts as Qin Feng would not be able to devour the beasts' powers.
As a result, Bai Li had little to no enthusiasm for this battle.
At this moment, the battlefield where Yan Fang was at began to die down a little. He proceeded to walk toward Bai Li's direction.
When he arrived, he was surprised to find Bai Li sitting on a sand dune instead of fighting. She placed her chin on both of her palms, looking into the distance.
Such a beautiful lady would truly make anyone's heart throb.
Yan Fang's eyes twinkled with excitement.
He made his footsteps louder as if he wanted to get Bai Li's attention, except that when he reached Bai Li's side, she did not even turn to look at him.
"Why are you sitting here, Miss Bai?" Yan Fang broke the silence.
Bai Li took a look at Yan Fang and turned away. "I've only been asked to kill a hundred golden sand worms. I've done it!"
Yan Fang's pupils narrowed.
Bai Li was indeed strong, and from among the rumors and news he had heard, Qin Feng had a strong female counterpart that would always be by his side. Many were jealous of him because of this.
"Princess Bai, since you're done killing, would you like to eat something?" Yan Fang asked.
"What?" Bai Li's eyes lit up.
Yan Fang took out a crystal box, and inside the box, there was a small, crystal clear fruit.
"Here, have this fruit!" Yan Fang offered.
It was an icy-flesh fruit, although its rank was not high, it had a fatal attraction to women and it could help to smoothen and beautify one's skin. One icy-flesh fruit was worth five million.
Although five million was nothing to a D-tier aptitude user, spending five million to acquire a G-tier fruit was considered a lavish spending!
Yan Fang had put in a lot of effort to get Bai Li.
This was, of course, just a test. If Bai Li were interested, Yan Fang would give her something even better.
Bai Li looked at the icy-flesh fruit with disappointment. "Just this one?"
Yan Fang was stunned.
"There's no use eating too much of this spirit fruit, since it wouldn't amplify its benefits anyways!" Yan Fang said.
"Forget about it, I've my own!" Bai Li trailed off.
Saying that, Bai Li raised her hand, and a huge pile of pristine lotus seeds appeared on the crystal bowl.
To her, it was just a bowl of spirit fruits; but to others, it was a pile of money.
Chapter 340: Bad Intentions
"Would you like to have some?" Bai Li took the small crystal bowl and placed it right in front of Yan Fang's face.
Yan Fang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his throat dry and his heart beating wildly.
After all, these were pristine lotus seeds.
He tried to win over Bai Li by offering her a luxurious fruit, but now he felt that Bai Li had just thrown money right at his face.
Yan Fang was truly embarrassed, he could not lose face anymore.
"I… I'll pass!" Yan Fang said.
Bai Li withdrew her hand firmly and dropped the humble act.
"Hmm, my hubby doesn't like to eat these either. He says that a little bit of this is enough, anything more would be wasteful!"
Bai Li ate another lotus seed. It would be wasteful for Qin Feng to eat more of the seeds as there was a limit to how much a human body could carry the seeds' power, and Qin Feng had reached his limits.
However, there was no such limit for an ultra beast like Bai Li.
Yan Fang's face turned blue as he watched Bai Li devour the seeds.
At this moment, he stared at Qin Feng's shadowy figure from afar. He could only imagine how difficult it was for Qin Feng to have a lady like her!
The price it took to please a beauty like Bai Li was too much!
Yan Fang would have to reconsider his plans.
At this time, Qin Feng was in the middle of the battle and he sensed the situation between Bai Li and Yan Fang from a distance.
"Why did he look for you?" Qin Feng used his consciousness to communicate with Bai Li.
Bai Li, likewise, replied with her consciousness.
"He wanted to treat me to some icy-flesh fruit, but it did not provide enough energy, and it was just the size of a fingernail. Stingy guy!"
"Yan Fang is not stingy," laughed Qin Feng.
That was why raising a girl was a difficult job, and they could not be abducted easily by others.
Bai Li was a young bride raised by Qin Feng, but at the very beginning, Qin Feng raised her as his own daughter.
There was no way she could be so easily fooled and lured away by others.
"Hmph, I called him stingy as an excuse for himself, do you think that I didn't know what he was up to? I knew it was just a Greek gift and he was up to no good, girls these days can't accept anything from strangers, especially milk tea!"
"What else did you see?" Qin Feng's face darkened.
"Nothing much. Moreover, my consciousness is telling me that Yan Fang has some bad motives!"
Yan Fang thought that Bai Li was just a sweet innocent girl. In fact, Bai Li was more sensitive than anyone else, and she could even clearly sense the aura of the people around her.
"Indeed, he's planning on something bad. I guess he's either trying to stir up trouble or buy people's hearts! You wait there, I'll be right there in just a moment!"
Qin Feng quickened his movements and cleared the surrounding worm beasts with lightning speed as he headed toward Bai Li.
Yan Fang's eyebrows furrowed when his keen senses picked up that Qin Feng was approaching them. He quickly relaxed his face.
"Mr Qin, it's better seeing you work in person than listening to the rumors. There is so much fuss over your side that I couldn't help but to come over and observe a bit!" Yan Fang said.
"Alright then, finish up quickly. If you don't mind, help out my girlfriend too. She doesn't like to get her hands dirty."
"Haha, girls don't like to fight, so we should protect them!"
"Yeah, but she's not weak. If she gets into the fighting mood, I'm not sure if I would even be a worthy opponent to her!"
Yan Fang did not know if Qin Feng was joking or not, but he knew Bai Li was powerful. Otherwise, he would not have been tempted to come here to steal Qin Feng's girlfriend.
"It's getting late, I'll clear out this area and return later. Mr Yan, try your best too!"
After saying so, Qin Feng raised the hand cannon and fired it at the ground.
The worm beasts were enraged and crawled out of the ground.
The expression on Yan Fang's face changed. "Huh, you continue with your work, I'll leave first!"
Seeing that Qin Feng was so brazen, Yan Feng chickened out and quickly retreated. Even so, he was still ambushed by a D-tier golden sand worm and it took him ten minutes to defeat it, leaving him frightened with cold sweat.
On the other side, Qin Feng began his massacre once again!
In a day's time, Qin Feng had killed nearly ten thousand golden sand worms, which was considered to be an over-achievement.
Buzz
The combat hover copters arrived to greet the crowd, and one of them stopped above Qin Feng.
"Mr Qin, it's me, I'll bring you back!"
Qin Feng heard the person through his consciousness, then the figure appeared at the door of the hover copter.
It was Han Nuan, the E-tier gunner who he had rescued yesterday.
"Go check it out!"
Qin Feng held on to Bai Li as peacock flames appeared behind him, allowing him to take off into the sky.
The two of them got inside the hover copter and Han Nuan closed the cabin door. He maneuvered the hover copter back to Shadong Town.
"Mr Qin, Ms Bai, thank you so much for yesterday. I had too many things to deal with yesterday, and today I finally found this opportunity to properly thank the both of you. Oh, and this, thank you Ms Bai!"
Han Nuan took out a compressed decomposing blaster, it was the same blaster Bai Li had given Han Nuan to save his own life.
Han Nuan was a little embarrassed. "I don't have much money with me right now, so I've only filled the energy inside the blaster halfway. Besides, I've only found this job today, so I'm afraid I'm going to be poor at the moment!"
Han Nuan was caught by Deng Gong, and the spatial rune equipment he had on must have been taken away.
It could be said that he was back to square one.
However, Han Nuan had some other ideas.
"Mr Qin, if you don't mind, I can pay off my debts by working under you. You've been clearing up the golden sand worms recently, so I can help you to organize the sand worm materials and I can guarantee you that my fee would be way less than handing the materials over to the Wanzong Organization, how about it?"
Han Nuan looked at Qin Feng expectantly.
"You want to be my agent for Shadong Town?" Qin Feng clanked the armrest and spoke Han Nuan's mind.
"Yes, and I think I can handle the job well! That's why I recommended myself!"
Qin Feng nodded. He knew Han Nuan would not lie to him as he dared not do so.
With Qin Feng's current strength and the prestige he had obtained from several battles, it would not be difficult to believe that many people would want to be Qin Feng's underling.
But they did not have the chance.
Han Nuan was the first to get this chance, and he definitely would not be the last.
"Sure, and I hope you won't disappoint me!"
"Don't worry, Sir, I'll do my absolute best!"
Qin Feng did not accept the blaster. "Since you're now my underling, you can't have no weapons at all, so keep this for self-protection."
"Ah, well, thank you, Sir!" This further ensured Han Nuan that he did not make the wrong choice.
Qin Feng was planning to have Xue Xingfu come to Shadong Town once he had advanced to E-tier, but now it seemed that there was no need for that much trouble anymore.
Qin Feng's underling circle was gradually expanding as well!
Once the hover copter had returned to Shadong Town, Qin Feng gave all of the harvest for the day to Han Nuan.
Han Nuan was astonished as he tallied up the batch of goods.
Before this, Dacheng Organization had C-tier aptitude users to exterminate beast emperors. It took them a lot of effort and two months of preparation to round up the ultra beast pack and finally kill the beast emperor. The materials they had obtained from the mission piled up like mountains.
Dacheng Organization had at least four to five hundred members, all of whom were elites.
But Qin Feng was a one-man team, and he could outdo Dacheng Organization with just a day's work.
This made Han Nuan extremely excited.
"For today's statistics, it is estimated that there is two hundred forty million worth of materials."
"Alright, go deal with it, there's no need to return this money to me!"
It was only two hundred million worth of materials. Qin Feng did not mind too much right now.
"Oh right, come to the frontline with me tomorrow and help me to collect the materials. Remember to come pick us up at eight o'clock!" Qin Feng instructed.
"Roger, Sir!" Han Nuan replied.
Chapter 341: Worm Beast Tide
In the following week, Qin Feng had teamed up with the Freemen Alliance and were fighting the golden sand worms.
The nest of the golden sand worms was in the North Sea Desert and was not far from Shadong Town, which was the reason why the golden sand worms frequently troubled Shadong Town.
As a result of their efforts, Shadong Town had become calm and peaceful. At least no large-scale invasions had occurred in the recent days.
The closer they got to their nest, the more the sand worms appeared, and the more powerful they became.
Among the golden sand desert.
There was a sea of flames.
Qin Feng fought hard to kill the sand worms.
As the flames continued to spread every second, the sand worms' death toll began to rise. Qin Feng's body continuously absorbed the energy left behind by the beast corpses.
Qin Feng had killed at least one hundred thousand sandworms in the past few days.
And the number only continued to increase every day.
The humongous sand worms had also provided Qin Feng with immense power and increased his strength.
After absorbing the D-tier beast emperor crystal core, his base strength had increased exponentially. Besides that, he had gone on several emergency missions and finished off the sand lizardfolk and their queen.
Now, his powers had grown even stronger.
Boom!
The strength of Qin Feng's physical body flesh suddenly skyrocketed.
An intimidating and paralyzing aura began to spread from within his body.
It was the aura that only a beast emperor could possess when it was at the peak of its limit.
The aura spread so fast that even if Qin Feng were to withdraw his saber, the aura would still spread at lightning speed.
The other people among the Freemen Alliance were slightly stunned. All of them looked in Qin Feng's direction.
"Did Qin Feng just advance to the next tier again?"
"Does that mean he's a D1-tier now?"
"Isn't that too soon? Maybe before he received his certificate for D-tier, his body had already accumulated so much energy that he was about to reach the next tier!"
As human beings, they were not quite able to carefully distinguish the power between kings and emperors. They only knew that Qin Feng's aura was powerful and his strength was explosive.
And at this time, it was not just the human beings that were able to sense Qin Feng's aura.
Their current location was already close to the golden sand worm's nest. Due to the mass massacres over the past few days, it had upset the Golden Sand Worm Queen and it could no longer sit still!
Qin Feng's ascension was a signal.
A signal of rivalry.
Although the sandworm queen knew that Qin Feng had the strength of an emperor, a human emperor, it was still not enough to terrorize the other tribes.
On this earth, there were many powerful invaders.
But in regards to a tiny puny human being, their strength and physique were still too far behind.
Suddenly, everyone's communicators began to emit a sharp alarm.
"Warning, warning! A large-scale beast tide is approaching!"
"The aura of a king-class beast has been sensed nearby!"
"Emergency retreat!"
On the screen of the communicators, red dots began to appear on the map wildly. In the blink of an eye, the entire screen turned scarlet.
One aptitude user looked up abruptly and saw dust and sand rising up at the edge of the desert, followed by a golden flash of light.
Under the sunlight and with the yellow sand as the backdrop, it was easy to make out that the shadows were clearly a tide of densely packed sand worm beasts!
"Run!"
The aptitude user was too close to the tide. He dared not stand there any longer and turned around to flee.
Boom!
With one foot landing on the ground, he activated his qinggong, giving him three extra pairs of legs so he could run faster.
"Combat hover copters, quick, come and get them!"
"The worm tide has broken out, and it's a medium-sized tide!"
While they were screaming for their lives, a combat hover copter appeared in the sky.
It was Sky Dweller!
At the frontline of the battlefield, Qin Feng was the first to notice the air disturbance!
He immediately unleashed Dragon Steps and found Bai Li.
Sky Dweller had always been inside Bai Li's space, and the two quickly boarded the hover copter. Qin Feng sat in the pilot's seat and quickly revved up the engine.
Before Qin Feng's rebirth, he had a feeble physique and was weak compared to the others. Although he might have lost his consciousness, his conscious strength was still retained.
It could be said that he was half of a gunner, and he only truly became an ancient warrior once he had reached C-tier.
And now, his knowledge as an ex-gunner once again came into play.
The Sky Dweller began to accelerate sharply.
Qin Feng could see countless golden sand worms below the hover copter.
The remaining sand worms on the ground were already on the move!
Buzz!
Qin Feng maneuvered Sky Dweller to make a quick shift in direction.
Then, in the desert, a wall of ten meters in height and a hundred meters in length was erected from the ground!
"Great Earth Wall!"
It was Chen Xiang's skill!
"Brother Chen, get up here!" Qin Feng sent out the message with his conscious power.
"Sky Barrier!"
Chen Xiang was calm and composed while forming a formidable fortress from the ground. In the blink of an eye, the fortress rose thirty meters into the sky.
He used his consciousness to control the sand and stone blocks, positioning it close to the Sky Dweller. With a single leap, he got on the hover copter.
Just as his front foot took off from the wall, behind him, the tall great wall was instantly swarmed by countless golden sand worms. The spot he had his foot on was engulfed by the sand worms.
There were too many of them!
"Quick, rescue the others!" Chen Xiang shouted.
Boom!
Two energy cannonballs were shot out, bombarding the sand worms.
At the same time, one F-tier aptitude user in the frontline was drowned by the sand worms!
"Brother Gao!" Chen Xiang could sense the situation outside with his consciousness. His heart was now racking with pain.
The Sky Dweller descended rapidly.
Soon, it was hovering twenty meters above the ground!
"Bai Li, do it!"
Qin Feng shouted loudly.
Bai Li instantly jumped out from the hatch.
Bam!
With the flick of her whip, rays of silvery lights crackled within a hundred meters from her position, and tiny cracks began to fill up the air.
In the blink of an eye, all the worms that were within the whip's range were crushed into pieces.
None of the worms survived.
A human figure was seen trying to shake off the worms and escape on the area that was left intact.
The internal force covering his body had not been broken!
"Brother Gao!" Chen Xiang was delighted to see him.
"Go!" Bai Li wrapped the ancient warrior with her conscious energy and flung him into the air, instantly returning him into the Sky Dweller.
"Holy sh*t! I thought I was dead!" Gao Li said as he tried to gasp for air.
"I thought you were dead too, but lucky for you, we've Miss Bai here!" Chen Xiang let out a sigh of relief.
"Words can't describe how thankful I am for your help! If you require any help in the future, I would gladly provide my assistance!"
"Keep that for later!" Bai Li waved her hand, not minding Gao Li's gratitude.
In her opinion, it was just a small matter.
Qin Feng's Sky Dweller was able to zoom through the air at lightning speed, and he even picked up four more people. Fortunately, nothing happened to the D-tier aptitude users.
They were the main forces of Shadong Town.
Buzz!
Shadong Town's combat hover copters were dispatched.
The aptitude users who were frantically escaping from the battlefield were picked up by the hover copters.
This time, everyone was safe.
"Roar!"
An ear-shattering roar was heard coming from the center of the beast tide.
Then, an extremely large, four-storey tall golden sand worm appeared.
This golden sand worm was different from the other worms. Its body was jade white, which was very beautiful and appealing, but the aura emanating from her body was frightening.
"It's the Golden Sand Worm Queen!"
A king-level beast.
The Golden Sand Worm Queen finally made her move!
"Warn Shadong Town, prepare to activate wide-area assault weapons. Today's harvest is going to be huge!" Qin Feng sent out the warning quickly.
"Message received, execute the order immediately!"
Hu Liang's voice was heard
It was obvious that they were going big this time!
Chapter 342: Dogfight
"All combat hover copters, fall back!"
"Evasive actions!"
"Main cannons ready to fire, D-tier destructive energy rounds armed, ready to engage!"
As Hu Liang gave the orders, the barrels of the energy cannons slowly turned to the skies.
Delay was not an option in battle.
"Fire!"
Boom!
A three-meter round exploded across the sky.
It looked like a rocket ship that aimed for the sky from afar.
After the round had traveled more than ten thousand meters, it began to turn downward.
The dozens of combat hover copters were hovering a thousand meters away. They looked on as the round landed upon the swarms of bugs.
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted.
The flashpoint pierced through the sky.
A huge mushroom cloud rose out from the eruption.
Soon, the flashpoint vanished. A cloud of dense smoke spiraled into the skies.
An innumerable amount of fragmented insectoid bodies covered the ground.
They were all taken out by the violent explosion!
"Looks like that round didn't do much!" said Qin Feng.
Everyone on the Sky Dweller was taken aback.
"Come on, that was a D-tier destructive energy around. Theoretically, it could wound a beast emperor!"
"You'd have to hit it first!" Qin Feng shrugged.
The smoke began to disperse. Something was emerging from the center of the swarm.
There was a crater in the middle, almost a hundred meters in diameter. Underneath that, a golden light came into sight.
Creak!
The light began to crack!
The Golden Sand Worm Queen crawled out soon after.
For now, it did not receive much damage.
"Screech!"
The Golden Sand Worm Queen screeched out loudly. It produced a huge suction force that pulled in the combat hover copters toward it.
"Oh no, we better run!"
The aptitude users were horrified.
At that moment, a bunch of purple-colored combat hover copters began to fire erratically.
Some of the cannon fires were directed toward the Golden Sand Worm Queen. But most of them were fired at the combat hover copters in front.
Boom!
A combat hover copter was directly hit. It lost balance and crashed into the ground.
With no means of resisting, the combat hover copters were directly sucked into the queen's mouth.
The crew members leaped out from the choppers in an attempt to save themselves.
Qin Feng's face turned grim.
"Dammit, it's the Leitangs!"
"What the hell are they doing? Are they trying to kill us all?"
"Quick, we need to know their status!"
The people on the Sky Dweller were enraged.
***
Elsewhere, the five or six combat choppers of the Leitang Organization were flying in a dazzling manner above the battlefield.
Lei Chang was in one of them. He showed a grim smile as he ordered, "Lin Shi, knock that Sky Dweller out of the sky. Isn't he rich? I'd like to see what he can do with his wealth! Those who are fated to crash shall eventually!"
Lin Shi was full of confidence within the chopper. As a D-tier gunner, he had vast experience in piloting the combat hover copter. He naturally agreed.
"That Qin Feng may be strong, but within the chopper he's just a caged tiger. He won't be able to escape; I'll offer him to the purgatory!"
Lin Shi aimed his rounds precisely at the Sky Dweller.
***
On top of the Sky Dweller.
Qin Feng pulled up his stick. The Sky Dweller was flying at full speed.
The Sky Dweller managed to evade eight out of ten rounds. The other two rounds landed on the Sky Dweller.
Bzzt!
The Sky Dweller's shield was flickering crazily.
The seven or eight crew members in the Sky Dweller turned pale. They saw how the D-tier aptitude users who escaped from the crashed chopper were surrounded by the golden sand worms.
There was only a feeling of fear!
The people who asked what was going on shut their mouths!
Was there a need to ask at this moment?
Was there a need to ask at all?
The Leitangs intended to kill them!
Qin Feng calmly and quickly put on his flight helmet.
"Consciousness connection!"
In a split second, Qin Feng could feel his consciousness expanding to cover every part of the combat hover copter.
The many sensory buttons made him feel like he was the combat hover copter himself.
As his consciousness expanded, his senses had spread out as well. He could see everything that was going on on the battlefield.
Qin Feng locked on toward a direction. There was a purple chopper there.
Swoosh!
A streak of energy ray went in the direction of the chopper.
The chopper's energy shield flickered for a moment. Its shield was severely weakened by the blow.
Qin Feng's Sky Dweller was equipped with only energy cannons. It could only fire energy photons!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A row of light began to be fired in a dazzling array. There was no need to conserve ammo at all.
Clang!
The enemy's energy shield was shattered.
"Go to hell!"
Qin Feng huffed coldly. Using his consciousness, the light hit the side wing of the enemy chopper.
Boom!
The hovering system was destroyed. The enemy chopper crashed to the ground!
The Sky Dweller tore across the sky like a victorious knight.
Brrrt!
Numerous rounds of cannon fires erupted from behind.
Qin Feng made a swirl across the sky. In a few explosions of light, the pursuing rounds were destroyed.
Not only that, he had now appeared at the back of those crafts.
Bzzt! Bzzt!
A huge prism of light exploded.
A purple craft attempted to dodge evasively but its shield was hit by the light. The shield shattered immediately as it was already at its limit.
But the light caught another purple craft up ahead.
Boom!
The hover copter disintegrated!
The E-tier gunner pilot let out a shriek. His body was vaporized!
There were three other D-tiers that were caught in the wake of the explosion. They would not be able to return to the skies!
"Bastards, let's kill him!"
Lei Chang was furious.
Lei Chang's hover copter was the one that had its shield destroyed.
Lin Shi, who was piloting the craft, turned pale as well. That was too close for comfort!
For a gunner, especially a D-tier who could pilot the hover copter, a pilot going down with his craft is all too common.
Therefore, Lin Shi who narrowly escaped death almost lost it just now.
"F*ck, I don't believe it. There must be another gunner on the craft. I'm gonna see who it is!"
Lin Shi quickly put on his flight helmet.
In an instant, his consciousness merged with the combat hover copter.
The two began to engage in an erratic dogfight.
The fight grew fierce.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bzzt! Bzzt!!
Swoosh!
Rounds were flying across the sky. Hover copters were falling down continuously.
It was not that they did not want to dodge, the combat hover copters they were piloting had no D-tier gunner interface. Although five of Leitang's combat hover copters were not D-tier as well, their choppers were still miles ahead of the standard-issue ones from the Human Alliance.
And then there was the Golden Sand Worm Queen. The unlucky ones could only fall to the grounds.
There were only machines battling across the sky.
