Chapter 937: Return
There was not even time for Hu San to envy Qin Feng. He immediately set his eyes on a Sacred Ice Stone and pulled it back.
Qin Feng’s reward was much more than the others. When the others only reaped twice, Qin Feng had already reaped thrice and the total number of his Sacred Ice Stones was about three thousand.
However, the s.h.i.+p was gradually moving away and Qin Feng could not control it. He was not even sure if it would be destroyed. If he were to exit from it, would he be pumped with energy and explode like the ultra beasts from the frissure earlier.
It was the ability core of an Immortal, and Qin Feng’s foundation was too weak.
“No wonder this is called the Aether Realm, this is the place for an Immortal. Perhaps before my rebirth, Hu San had actually obtained such a treasure and established his influence in this realm!”
“This is not a one-off trade after all, there will be encounters for future exploration too. There must be something else to be benefited from!”
With Qin Feng’s capability, he only needed acc.u.mulation but not instant spike in his wealth. Hence, the reason for S-tier apt.i.tude users to have so many subordinates was because of the vast realms under their control.
Before leaving, every ultra beast stopped moving and began their energy absorption again. With Qin Feng’s presence—the absorption devil, the surrounding energy was diluted and reduced to ground level as the s.h.i.+p gradually moved further away.
The others were absorbing with their eyes closed but Qin Feng opened his eyes wide as he focused on his Absorption Ability, and he was the one who had witnessed the entire bizarre scene.
Surprisingly, the s.h.i.+p was headed directly underground.
It went through the initial stream of liquified energy, then into the deep-blue ice layer. Actually, it seemed more like a unique soil that gradually transitioned to a translucent ice layer, and sunlight from the outside was soon seen.
Unexpectedly, the s.h.i.+p had taken ten days to exit from inside. Despite the limited speed, it was travelling at least twenty kilometres per hour.
“It is really like the diameter of a planet!” Qin Feng spoke with a deep voice.
Meanwhile, Hu San had already woken up. After leaving the underground liquified area, energy sources became scarce again. The realm’s surface was already near, and Hu San also stopped practicing. It was because those ultra beasts were about to leave the s.h.i.+p, and they might even face attacks from other ultra beasts.
“Once you are more knowledgeable about the system in the future, you will then find out more about it.”
From the expedition, Qin Feng noticed changes in Hu San’s behaviour and it was absolutely normal. However, Qin Feng felt that he had never heard Hu San speak about such an unfamiliar matter before his rebirth.
Before Qin Feng could clarify, the s.h.i.+p had completely surfaced on the ground. Then, their protective light barriers disappeared and a repelling force was heard from the s.h.i.+p. Without any hesitation, all creatures were tossed down from the s.h.i.+p.
Then, the s.h.i.+p moved downward again. More importantly, there was no protective barrier around it. It had unexpectedly merged into the glaciers and disappeared. Energy was blasted out from the deep frissure again, and it was some sort of horrifying bizarre energy.
Energy storm!
It was the beginning of the energy storm.
The energy that was blasted out had seemingly shaken the world and the great frissure was gradually consolidating. More importantly, the energy storm was growing stronger and it was only moments away from the explosion of an annihilating disaster.
It was at that moment; other ultra beasts were preying on Qin Feng. Afterall, Qin Feng was the major winner. Also, he seemed very weak.
“Aren’t you all afraid of dying? Still provoking me?” Qin Feng dispersed his consciousness, and those ultra beasts obviously understood what he meant.
It was like an enraged roar from an ultra beast trying to warn its opponents. Qin Feng’s channelling consciousness had also revealed his oppressive pressure to those ultra beasts.
At the same time, the pair of snow foxes had already turned around and merged themselves into the snow. They were the first to escape.
The two little foxes were the only ones who had learned advanced abilities in the beginning.
As the two ultra beasts had left, the others had no choice but to roar in dissatisfaction and leave as well.
The storm became stronger after the ultra beasts had left, Qin Feng and Hu San could not stay any longer either. Both of them scouted for the correct direction and began to fall back.
After several hours of travelling, Qin Feng and Hu San were both alerted by their ringing communicators.
“Hu San, old dude, can’t believe you are alright!” Beitang Gan immediately shouted.
“Haha, no worries, even the rewards are very fruitful!” Hu San answered with all smiles.
“That’s great, that’s great!” Beitang Gan felt relieved. There were not many like Beitang Gan who managed to survive, most of them were old folks that belonged to the previous era. Of course, they would care for each other and wish nothing but safety for their old peers.
“Well, what about Qin Feng? Is he alright? All of you will be recommending him to the Human Alliance!”
Hu San thought to himself, ‘Qin Feng is more capable than I am in keeping himself safe. He was the sole major winner for the expedition.’
“All good, talk to you soon when we meet later!”
After the catch-up, Hu San understood that the signal launcher that Qin Feng had released at the entrance was the best method for the others to identify their location in the great snow. Therefore, the others had set up a colony at the cave and hunted around the area for several days. Hence, Hu San decided to return to that area.
“Master Hu, I shall not follow you there. Before I came, I entered from another rift. It is best for me to exit from there, and I still have something else to take care of!” Qin Feng explained.
Hu San understood that Qin Feng must have found a spatial rift, his purpose was just to explore for a little and it was just an unexpected opportunity for him. The return must be driven by his purpose to control the rift and incur it under his own resources.
“Alright, but after you are done, I still need to talk to you about something. So, just wait for me outside for several days. It would be best if you could wait at Fengli City!”
Qin Feng felt that it had something to do with Hu San’s purpose in looking for him earlier, and he agreed to stay.
Then, Qin Feng and Hu San parted ways.
Qin Feng followed the trail that he had taken earlier and returned to the glacier. He had also found the ice cave that was under He Tianxing’s control.
Unconsciously, it had been almost a month in the ice realm. Although Qin Feng was not too exhausted, he was already a different person from before. The Fengli Organization had grown stronger and could not afford to lose such a leader.
Hence, Qin Feng had decided to return for a quick rest before re-entering the place. Furthermore, Hu San seemed to have something urgent for him.
Fortunately, the rift on Dragon Island was moving along with the glacier under an unknown influence. Therefore, movements of the glacier would not restrict entry points into it.
Qin Feng stepped into the rift.
The pitch-black surrounding faded off, while all Qin Feng could feel was the instant transition into a surrounding with scorching heat. Heat waves blew along with the unique humid tropical sea breeze from the small island.
