63 – A Strange Change
“Four Apprentice Warlocks!! f.u.c.k!! How come they have so many freaks?!” When Tex saw this scene, his eyes flashed with a touch of despair, he clenched his teeth and immediately turned around to flee.
After the rest of Black Crows’ warriors saw their second commander fleeing, they also turned around and abandoned their companions, fleeing towards the hills on both sides of the valley.
The 200 odd fully armed warriors suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat against 5 Apprentice Warlocks, this was precisely the terror of Apprentice Warlocks in this world. The reason why Warlocks, this select group of people, were at the pinnacle of and ruled over this world, was because they held the most formidable power in this world.
On the ground, the bodies of several dozens of Black Crows’ members were left as well as 30 odd Black Crows’ warriors were stung by the highly toxic swarm of hornets and their heads were extremely swollen.
“Mercy!!”
“Don’t kill me!!”
“Save me, I am willing to be your slave!”
Those Black Crows’ warriors were pleading loudly one by one.
“Go to h.e.l.l! Go to h.e.l.l! Go to h.e.l.l!” Trucks laughed malevolently, brandished his claymore as if stamping ants, killing those Black Crows’ warriors.
Yang Feng watched as Trucks was stamping those Black Crows’ warriors, he creased slightly his eyebrows and didn’t say a word. They were going towards the Obscure Mountain Range, naturally they couldn’t bring that burden along. Additionally, these Black Crows’ warriors were the sc.u.m that came from other places, death is not enough to pity them.
Pierre then dismounted his mount, one by one going through the belongings, cleaning all of the valuables of those Black Crows’ warriors.
Pierre felt comfortable as he said with a smile: “A group of paupers, they only had 103 Gold Coins on them. The crossbows, weapons and leather armor are relatively more valuable – they could be sold for approximately 3,000 Gold Coins. We have five people, each person can get 600 Gold Coins.”
Crossbows could deal with Knight rank experts – no matter which state supervised such strategic weapons, their price would definitely be very costly. Within this Obscure Mountain Range’s sphere of influence, selling those crossbows wouldn’t be a problem.
Trucks licked his lips and said with some excitement, “Truly not bad, such morons should come by more often.
Yang Feng looked quietly from the side, he was somewhat mowed within: “That’s the life of low-level Apprentice Warlocks without a backing. For a little bit of resources, they would desperately kill to wrest away some treasures, the revenue of a few Magic Stones would make them elated and excited. If I hadn’t defeated Fernandro Clan and obtained a large amount of war reparations, and if Nr.3796 didn’t had the ability to synthesize elixirs, perhaps I’d be like them and move all over the place for some resources, then it would be impossible for me to have been promoted to a level-3 Apprentice Warlock at this point.”
Resources were all-powerful when on the Warlock Path. As long the resources were sufficient, then even a waste could be groomed into a peerless expert. Without resources, even if one had a peerless talent, one would slowly become mediocre and ultimately be reduced to a mortal.
Warlock College Antalya would admit 1,000 elite students every year, but within the college, only around a dozen people could be promoted to official Warlocks every year.
A lot of gifted Apprentice Warlocks, because the weren’t enough resources, missed the most appropriate age to promote to Apprentice Warlocks, so they couldn’t help but spend their lives as level-3 Apprentice Warlocks.
Pierre said lightly : “Lets go!”
Yang Feng’s party immediately left this place, they walked towards a distant location.
Ten days later, at night.
Within Obscure Mountain Range, deep under a cliff, before an enormous subterranean crevice – there stood seven people, they were precisely Yang Feng and his party.
Anya pointed towards the enormous subterranean crevice, her beautiful eyes flashed with of touch of excitement: “Here is the entrance to the Gloom Cave’s ruins. Lets wait until the moonlight s.h.i.+nes on this crevice, that’s when the gate to Gloom Cave will open.”
Pierre and the others also stared at the enormous subterranean crevice, their eyes flas.h.i.+ng with a touch of excitement.
Warlock groups during the age of the Third Warlock Dynasty were far more formidable than those in the modern time. At that age, an intermediate Warlock group had the ability to cross planes, carry out plane travels and capture formidable extraordinary life forms from strange planes as well as research on them. At that time, an intermediate Warlock group could single handedly and without much effort, annihilate Turandot Subcontinent’s Six Great Warlock Groups. Such formidable Warlock groups, as long as some remnant items were well-preserved, they could then be sold for a sky-high price in Turandot Subcontinent.
Yang Feng gave the enormous crevice a glance, he narrowed his eyes mischievously and laughed gently: “Sorry, I changed my mind. I currently do not want to go in and explore. How about this, you go ahead, then after you come out, I’ll use Magic Stones to trade with you and buy the items that you find there.”
Inna, who’s performance was ordinary throughout the journey, her complexion suddenly underwent a great change and she shouted loudly: “What are you talking about! Yang Feng, are you playing with us?”
Anya’s complexion had similarly a slight change, she retreated by a few steps and took out a red crystal.
Pierre and Trucks, the two of them also felt a great shock, their complexions underwent great changes, they fell back by a few steps, stared at Yang Feng as their eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with uncertainty.
Pierre’s mind swirled, his face filled with a touch of dignity, his eyes moved towards Inna and Anya – he glanced in their directions and said coldly: “What’s the matter? Yang Feng, have you discovered something?”
Yang Feng looked at Pierre with some appreciation and said with a slight laugh: “Pierre, your senses are really keen. If you keep listening and become aware of too many secrets, then you might die! I’m still quite appreciative of you, leave now as there still is a chance for you to living. After you to survive this ordeal, you can go look for me at Steel City, I’ll let you become my subordinate.”
Trucks had a puzzled expression – he glared at Yang Feng, eyes flas.h.i.+ng with a touch of malice as he said fiercely: “In the end, what are you talking about? Yang Feng, why do you want to withdraw from exploring the ruins, speak!”
“If that’s the case, then I’ll take my leave.” Amidst his mind turning lightning fast, Pierre made a decision, he gnashed his teeth and then bowed slightly in salute towards Yang Feng, he then cautiously and solemnly retreated on the path that they used to come here.
Pierre’s experience in adventures was very rich, simultaneously, his senses were also very keen, he felt that something was amiss, so he left decisively. This was also an important factor for him surviving a lot of dangerous adventures.
Suddenly, Inna’s pretty face distorted greatly and she screamed at the retreating Pierre beside her: “Pierre, don’t leave! Kill him! As long as you kill him, I can give you the level-1 spell model Warping Force Field. Additionally, I’ll give you the elixir, Century Tree Heart Sap, necessary for promoting to an official level-1 Warlock. Trucks, kill him. As long as you can kill him, then I’ll also provide you with necessary resources for promoting to a level-1 Warlock.”
When Trucks heard that, his heart was stirred – looking at Yang Feng, his eyes flashed with a touch of greed and his hands extended towards the copper chest wrapping the Secret Treasure suit of armor on his back.
Pierre stared at Inna with a cold indifference, an ice-cold killing intent diffused from his body: “Step aside, I don’t want to be hunted down by Steel City’s City Master because of this bit resource. Inna, step aside, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Inna felt Pierre’s killing intent, her pretty face paled and she hurriedly retreated to the side. She was extremely clear about Pierre’s personality, once he made a decision, even if it was her who obstructed his way, he would definitely get rid of her.
