Chapter 697: The Sound of Song, the Sound of Crying
Qin Feng listened to what Tung Yang had to say and did not think it was odd. Instead he felt another kind of emotion, and he soon realized what this feeling was.
Tung Yang wanted to return the favor to Qin Feng for saving him.
On the surface, Qin Feng’s strength might only seem B-tier and it was unwise to bring him into the thick of things as someone of that perceived strength would have just been cannon fodder.
However, with Tung Yang here n.o.body dared to try anything!
This was the overwhelming suppressive force of an A-tier!
Qin Feng’s thoughts flashed through his mind before replying, “That’s fine, I’ll use my dark runes and get over there soon!”
“Alright! I’ll be waiting!” Tung Yang said.
The two ended the call and Qin Feng took Bai Li with him as they went toward the central area.
He slowed himself down and after twenty minutes they arrived at a giant pit. This time, hundreds of people were gathered here. In addition to some A-tiers, there were powerful B-tiers in the area as well, some of them were here to shadow the A-tiers.
When Qin Feng and Bai Li appeared, they soon saw Tung Yang and headed over.
“Regent Tung!”
Tung Yang beamed a kind smile and looked at Bai Li curiously. “Who is this?”
“She is Bai Li, my girlfriend. She rushed over here earlier!” Due to Bai Li not showing up in the previous battle Tung Yang did not know about Bai Li’s existence so he was a little confused.
However, there were two people nearby that were both taken aback.
“Qin Feng!”
“It’s you!”
These two people were Nan Gongs.h.i.+ and Ge Lang!
“Lord Nan Gong and General Ge!” Qin Feng greeted them but he did not receive them warmly and was only being polite.
Nan Gongs.h.i.+ said with surprise, “Qin Feng, you… you’ve reached B-tier?”
“Fortunately I’ve got the chance to visit the Abyssal Ocean and managed to rank up!” Qin Feng replied.
“Haha, and what a great opportunity that was. This kid managed to kill a highly ranked A-tier beast emperor in the Abyssal Ocean!”
“What? Which beast emperor was it?”
“The Glutton Leviathan, it’s dead now but… even after its death it was transformed into a deep-sea vessel! Qin Feng has a bright future and his organization is quite impressive!” Tung Yang had originally wanted to mention the incident with the undead puppet but he decided to keep this matter a secret and quickly changed the subject by expressing his appreciation.
While the people from the other alliances were not sure what Tung Yang was on about, it was clear to them that he was proud of Qin Feng. Perhaps he was optimistic about his subordinate and if so then the other A-tiers naturally would not embarra.s.s Qin Feng.
On the contrary, Ge Lang’s heart was beating uncontrollably fast at this time.
“How can this be? This kid’s getting strong so quickly? It hasn’t even been half a year since the Prodigy Tournament until now!”
This was something completely unbelievable.
Moreover, Qin Feng had slighted Ge Lang before and with how fast he was developing it was inevitable that Ge Lang was going to fall into a crisis.
‘Last time he challenged me and helped that wench Shang Han. Now that he’s stronger, would he try to show off in front of me?’
A sinister light glinted in Ge Lang’s eyes as if he was trying to think of ways to get rid of the supreme prodigy that was Qin Feng.
However someone soon interrupted Ge Lang’s thoughts!
That was because people recognized what the Glittering Gold Sand bore. After all, everyone present was well informed and everyone knew that for many things they had to rely on each other. While spatial rune equipment might not be able to carry such things then what else would be able to?
These crystals quickly attracted many’s attention. It was peculiar that such a thing could carry the heavy sand without being burdened. Besides that, the crystals had a malleable shape. What people could do was wrap the crystal’s shape into a bowl before putting the sand in, closing up said crystal and completely concealing the sand’s aura.
They even took out their spatial rune equipment for testing and realized that even though the amount of sand they collected had exceeded the usual limit, there seemed to be nothing wrong.
At this time, they had found a surefire way to carry it!
Furthermore, the people present were powerful individuals. With the level of their consciousness they had they quickly figured it out.
“So, it’s like this!” Tung Yang said when he saw this scene and secretly chided himself for not having thought of that earlier.
“What strange contradictions that coexist with one another! It seems that the saying ‘Using softness to overcome strength’ can be quite literal!” Nan Gongs.h.i.+ said.
“Stop talking nonsense, lets collect this quickly!” Ge Lang said.
“Oh, right, Qin Feng you should have this as well,” Tung Yang said, “Take this as a reward for defending the East Sea City!”
Tung Yang winked mischievously, this old man was a sly one.
He was not thanking Qin Feng for slaying the Glutton Leviathan, he was thanking Qin Feng for scaring off Obol.
“Okay, thank you Regent!” Qin Feng said.
After that Qin Feng asked Bai Li to shape the crystals into a bottle, but this time the bottle was only about the size of a perfume vial!
This greatly saved up on materials and Qin Feng was not stingy. He distributed some to Nan Gongs.h.i.+ and Ge Lang which seemed to improve Ge Lang’s mood a little.
‘That’s it. Qin Feng must have been using Shang Han as a stepping stone and he’s actually showing me some respect. Perhaps I’ve misjudged this junior!’
It was just that Ge Lang had not said anything, there was a feeling deep within him that did not want to offend Qin Feng.
That was because Ge Lang understood that Qin Feng was a powerful prodigy, someone that might as well be the emperor-level among the human race. In this case, the current B-tier that he was could challenge much greater things.
Ge Lang was in no position to challenge Qin Feng. He would not have been strong enough!
As such, he made the excuse that Qin Feng was not intentionally trying to offend him and let his grudge go.
Then, several people came over to the central area to frantically dig up the sand. Although the energy here was the richest, n.o.body knew why no ultra beasts had approached the area and everyone was at peace.
Qin Feng had a feeling that these kinds of treasures might cause genetic s.h.i.+fts that were too much for such beasts to handle!
If that were the case then if ultra beasts did not approach it meant that these things could bring with them good fortune and ward off danger!
However, this calm only lasted for a few hours. It was not because the sand had been fully collected, but that they were heavy and difficult to collect, so it would take them a long time!
Only a few hours had pa.s.sed and they had barely scratched the surface.
At this moment, Bai Li’s ears perked up and listened for a moment before saying, “You guys hear that?”
Qin Feng was confused. “Hear what?”
“Huh, it sounds like singing, but it also sounds like crying!”
When that was said, Qin Feng did not react yet but Tung Yang stood up so fast that the air around him made a swis.h.i.+ng sound. His expression was strangely serious!
