Chapter 691: Tung Yang Ensnared!
The signs of Qin Feng harvesting all the plants outside were quite apparent and obvious. Thus, it was rather quick for them to take notice.
To these people, it meant that the next person they met on the island would be the one who had harvested all these treasures. This in turn made all of them start to become greedy and murderous.
Thus, it did not take long before these people started to clash with one another…
This was quite unfortunate—for Tung Yang. Due to him not being able to get on land several times, Tung Yang’s progress was already severely stunted. And now, he was trying to get near the sh.o.r.e where Obol was at.
Obol, on the other hand, had taken notice of Qin Feng’s appearance on the island. As such, he believed that anyone who was already on the island must have a lot of Heavenly Jewels on them. If he killed these people, it would not only mean that he would be able to take all of these treasures for himself, it would also mean that he would have eliminated his compet.i.tors.
Obol was already an A8-tier while Tung Yang was still at A5-tier. When they met, Tung Yang knew things were bad for him!
Therefore, Tung Yang did not hesitate and turned tail right away. Seeing this, Obol leaped up and fiercely chased after him.
“Hey, aren’t you that regent from the Huaxia Alliance? What’s your name again? Lemme think…” Obol’s conscious energy was locked onto Tung Yang as he chased after him.
“Obol, what do you want?”
Tung Yang’s face was grim.
“What do I want? Tung Yang, if I remember correctly, this Abyssal Ocean falls under your jurisdiction, right? This means that you must be the first one to step onto the island. I am meaning to ask… I’ve set my eyes on a type of fruit just now and were you the one who took them?”
“You’re bullsh*tting me, aren’t you?!”
“Oh, so you’re not going to admit it? Hehe, there’s no hurry. I’ll make you admit it!”
“Swift Lightning!”
With another split of lightning sparkling behind him, Obol had accelerated his speed and caught up to Tung Yang!
“Hydro Dragon Strike!”
Tung Yang quickly unleashed his powers but it was not to attack Obol—instead he used his own attacks to envelop himself in water and dashed straight at the ocean.
“Ten Thousand Thunder!”
Suddenly, a ma.s.sive dark cloud loomed above Tung Yang before thousands of lightning zapped down, covering every direction toward the ocean.
If Tung Yang wanted to continue onward, he would definitely get hurt. He was three tiers weaker than Obol after all. As such, if he got hurt by the lightning strikes, it would definitely send him to the hospital wards for weeks.
Thus, Tung Yang turned and changed his direction toward the forest.
“Raging Waterfall!”
A huge waterfall fell from the sky and blocked Obol.
Still, this could only force Obol to take a small turn and merely stop him for a few seconds.
“Kweeek Kweeeek!”
A ma.s.sive flying ultra beast seemed to have noticed that something was going on over here and flew straight toward them.
It was a B7-tier beast king.
Right now, Tung Yang had enemies on both fronts. It was becoming difficult for him to move forward and retreat.
All he could do now was to just turn toward another random direction and start running. There was no time for him to stop and carefully pick his route. Meanwhile, Obol was getting closer and closer.
“Hahaha! Die, Tung Yang!”
Obol raised his electric-type rune weapon. Several electric currents zapped through the crystal that was embalmed on the equipment; from afar, it looked like he was wielding a lightning bolt!
“Pzzkaat!!”
The lightning spear cracked and split in the sky before landing on Tung Yang’s back!
“Arggh!!”
Tung Yang let out an excruciating cry. Although he had already enveloped himself in a water bubble barrier, it was not enough to fully protect him.
“Water Healing!”
Still, Tung Yang would not go down so easily. The real power behind a water-type ability user was not his fighting prowess—it was his great healing powers!
In a split second, Tung Yang’s wound was completely healed! Even his hair that was zapped to curls was also healed back to its original silky form.
Still, there was no way Tung Yang could run away from his pursuer.
“Obol!! I won’t forgive you!”
Tung Yang clenched his teeth and intended to use his trump card. If there was no way of running, perhaps it was best for him to just turn back and fight.
There was very little hope in surviving this though. Such were the results of battles between A-tiers. What more… this Obol was three tiers more powerful than him!
He was not Qin Feng. In fact, it was quite a rare occurrence for someone like Qin Feng to be born.
What made his situation even direr was that Obol was a genius in combat himself.
Suddenly, a ma.s.sive sea snake appeared from the bushes. This thing was about two-meter wide—a phenomenally huge beast indeed. Under normal circ.u.mstances, no one in the world would not have noticed it even if it tried to hide in a bush. Yet, none of them noticed it—not even the flying beast noticed the sea snake before it lunged out of the bush.
“Kweeek!!!”
The flying beast seemed to think the snake was its food. As such, it got excited and flew down to kill the sea snake.
However, the sea snake did not seem to care about the flying beast. Instead, it lunged straight at Obol!
Pooof!!
It spewed a green fog and enveloped Obol, who immediately backed off anxiously.
Grrooom!!
Suddenly, tremors could be felt on the ground. It was apparent that there were countless ultra beasts moving in the forest.
After giving it a scan with his conscious energy, Obol’s face turned grim.
“Beast kings! Why are there so many beast kings here?!”
Then, he looked at the sea snake. This thing seemed to be battle hardened. This made his face even grimmer than before.
“Dark Puppeteering? Who’s doing this? Is it Kounsat?”
“…”
“I’ll let you go for now! Consider yourself lucky this time!”
Obol yelled out to Tung Yang before deciding to run away. However, when he looked at Tung Yang, it was as if the man was looking at him like he was already dead.
Katchaaa!
Wielding a full body of lightning, Obol dashed miles away while the sea snake and flying beast fought fiercely.
When the other ultra beasts appeared, the flying beast had already been torn to pieces.
Having just escaped from a gruesome fate, Tung Yang immediately pulled up his guard again. However, after scanning his surroundings with his conscious energy, Tung Yang immediately felt glad.
“Qin Feng! It’s you!”
“Regent Tung, are you alright?”
Qin Feng was actively releasing his conscious energy toward Tung Yang so he knew it was him. A few seconds later, Qin Feng appeared before Tung Yang.
“Don’t worry, I’m alright. That dreadful Obol! He’s such a jerk!”
Qin Feng kept quiet with a smile on his face—he did not feel the need to curse a person behind his back.
“We can’t use our communicators here. Not even our Consciousness Connector works over here. So, it’s quite expected for the other people from other alliances to want to take advantage of us.”
“Yeah, you don’t seem surprised at all!” Tung Yang let out a bitter smile. He could still remember when he was younger he thought every faction within the Human Alliance was going to be united under one banner and help each other out in this post-apocalyptic world. He was too naïve back then.
“Regent Tung, perhaps you should harvest the materials you need around us. With that, we could provide you our support too.” Qin Feng suggested.
Tung Yang’s face turned red after hearing this. He abandoned Qin Feng earlier after all. And speaking of supporting, he was a superior and a regent—he should be the one who did the supporting.
Yet, after seeing dozens of B-tier beast kings under Qin Feng’s command, Tung Yang could not find any reason to reject his offer. Still, it would be so shameful for him to accept the help of someone supposedly weaker and ranked lower than him.
“Alright, then!”
Saving face was one thing; but it was quite obvious that Qin Feng was indeed powerful.
As such, Tung Yang gave up in preserving his face and agreed to accept his help.
