Chapter 161: Cooperation

"Yes, we met earlier during the auction, we had a pleasant talk." Ye Feng nodded and replied while smiling.

After the conversation in the Auction House, he had to admit that Gabriel was quite good at talking.

"Brother Ye Feng, since you are the newest stage six Blacksmith in the Blacksmith Guild, for your certification test earlier, you must have used the stage six material that you just obtained?" Gabriel asked curiously.

Earlier, he had some estimations regarding Ye Feng's forging skills, but he might not be buying the forging material for himself. Like earlier, Patrick, who competed with Ye Feng, wanted to give it as a present to the higher-ups of the Blacksmith Guild.

But since Ye Feng was a stage six Blacksmith, he had definitely bought the material for personal use.

"Oh? Ye Feng, your material was bought just now?" The Vice Guild Master was surprised. Most people would not be familiar with the material that they had just bought, the resulting success rate would be much lower as well.

But Ye Feng's success in his attempt earlier proved that his skills were even better than everyone's expectations.

"Yes, although I had not used it before, I have some understanding towards this material, so I was sufficiently confident." Ye Feng said humbly: "If I did not use this new material, I would have been quite restrained during the forging process due to a lack of materials."

"So that's it." With sufficient evidence in front of him, the Vice Guild Master did not feel anything wrong.

"Since we've met, let me talk to Brother Ye Feng for a while." Gabriel winked at the Vice Guild Master, "Help me out in my business."

As a businessman, he would not give up any chance of expanding his business, although Ye Feng was a single person, he was a stage six Blacksmith who could create huge profits alone.

"Alright, go, go." The Vice Guild Master saw that Ye Feng did not reject the idea and said quickly: "We can tour the guild at any time, you guys should go talk first."

He did not mind this, as the Vice Guild Master, he was quite busy to begin with. Although these matters were not as important as attending to Ye Feng, he still had to deal with them.

Now that he had time to settle them, he would not mind the opportunity.

"Alright, we'll leave first."

Ye Feng and Gabriel found a quieter spot to sit as they started to talk.

"Brother Ye Feng, do you want to collaborate?" Gabriel was a businessman after all, he immediately suggested a cooperation between them.

But the two of them did not have much to talk about anyway, they both knew that this conversation was meant to set the basis for their cooperation.

"Of course." Ye Feng replied without hesitation, he did not have any background in the Capital City, working with Gabriel was a good thing.

Moreover, Gabriel was a professional businessman in the forging business, he could help to earn more profits.

Nobody would ignore the business companion of a stage six Blacksmith.

The following conversation was much simpler, they talked about the benefits that they could bring to each other as well as some minor details of their collaboration.

"Oh, do you know anything about Tiffany's clan?" Ye Feng suddenly asked.

They were having a good conversation now, it would be a waste not to ask about it.

Gabriel was a businessman, he definitely had sufficient information.

"That clan... hmm, I only know a bit about them." Gabriel did not question why Ye Feng asked this, he answered: "This is not a top tier clan but it is not small either, they are most closely related to the Miller clan. They seem to have many similar businesses, their relationship is neither close nor distant... wait no, they've arranged a marriage alliance."

Saying so, Gabriel suddenly recalled the interaction between Ye Feng and Kevin Miller during the auction, he seemed to have understood something about Ye Feng's intention.

"What information do you have regarding this marriage alliance?" Ye Feng continued to ask. He was not afraid that Gabriel would leak anything, after all, they were business partners now. In fact, it did not matter if this was exposed, Kevin Miller had already noticed him anyway.

Right now, the more Ye Feng thought about it, the more he felt that the assassination was organized by Kevin Miller.

"I don't know much about this, it is their clans' internal affair after all." Gabriel expressed his helplessness, although he was a businessman, his businesses only involved the blacksmith industry, even if he knew some unrelated information, it would be limited.

"But such news is truly hard to find, they like to keep secrets after all. If you only want to find out some small details, the members of both clans should know." Gabriel suggested: "Even the servants should be somewhat aware, after all, preparation for the wedding needs to be made."

Ye Feng had revealed his intent very clearly, there was no need to pretend that he was unsure of what was going on now.

Of course, he could not state certain things outright.

He did not have any intention to expose Ye Feng, he was not allied with the two clans, there was no need to harm his own benefits like this.

Why would he want to offend a stage six Blacksmith?

Providing insignificant information in exchange for the other party's friendship, this was a huge gain for him. He knew clearly what sort of benefits he would get."

"I got it." Ye Feng nodded as he fell into contemplation.

...

"I want a mug of southwood ale." Ye Feng sat down at the bar counter and knocked the table.

This ale had a good flavor, he would order it whenever he went to the tavern.

His cooperation with Gabriel went smoothly during this period of time, it was simply a win-win situation.

The more assets that Ye Feng amassed, the more rare forging materials he found. With the support of Ye Feng's top tier equipment, Gabriel's reputation and business grew substantially.

Ye Feng had just finished a forging session, he wanted to relax and think of what to do from now on.

He had gathered information for the last few days, he learned of Tiffany's attitude towards the wedding from several servants.

As he expected, Tiffany did not agree to it. But somehow, along the way, she relented and accepted this marriage that her clan arranged for her.

This was all the servants knew.

"I need to find a way to get inside the estate of Tiffany's clan and try to meet her alone."

Ye Feng gulped down the beer while feeling a little troubled.

He could not infiltrate them, not only was such a large clan heavily defended, even if he wanted to sneak in, he needed to know the layout of the place.

If he had some understanding of Tiffany's clan, there would be some hope of sneaking in. Thus, he had to find a way to visit it?

Chapter 162: Business Negotiation

"I need to get inside and take a look at Tiffany's clan..." Ye Feng did not know what excuse he could use to visit them.

"What can I use to entice them?"

Ye Feng thought about it and soon found the most useful identity he had in the Capital City.

He was a stage six Blacksmith of the Blacksmith Guild!

He was a true higher-up of the Blacksmith Guild, there were few of such existences in the entire Capital City, no clan would dare to look down on a stage six Blacksmith.

In certain situations, a single stage six Blacksmith had the power to influence the victory of a clash between two large clans.

"In this case, I just need to get someone from the Blacksmith Guild to lead me to them." Ye Feng muttered to himself before putting down the mug and leaving.

After confirming his plan, it was time to execute it.

...

"Sir Ye Feng, hello."

A middle-aged man with half-white hair stretched out his arm towards Ye Feng: "Welcome to our clan."

"Sir Olek, good day to you." Ye Feng smiled as he shook hands with the other party.

Olek was the person that Tiffany's clan sent to participate in this negotiation, his status was not low.

Ye Feng came here through the help of the Blacksmith Guild, he was requesting for a cooperation with them as a stage six Blacksmith.

No clan would want to refuse the normal cooperation of a stage six Blacksmith, after hearing of this, they immediately agreed to meet him.

Of course, the details of their cooperation would depend on the outcome of this negotiation.

Ye Feng was not afraid that they would find out his identity. The earlier hints were quite obvious, since Tiffany did not talk about him to her clan, they did not know of his existence.

Even Kevin Miller was not sure of their relationship, he was only playing it safe and wanted Tiffany to give up on resisting him.

The fact that he learned of Ye Feng was clearly because he was investigating Tiffany, and since there was nothing fishy about their relationship, Kevin Miller was simply too anxious and paranoid about getting Tiffany.

To speak the truth, Kevin Miller did not target the wrong person, his greatest rival was indeed Ye Feng.

"Let's go in and talk about it?" Olek invited Ye Feng to go in.

They were a large clan, they naturally had well arranged places that were meant for meetings.

"Sorry, I don't like that kind of atmosphere." Ye Feng apologized: "Let's talk outside, I can take a look at your clan's beautiful estate as well."

He said the last part with a nonchalant tone.

"Of course, you don't have to bring me to any secretive locations, I'll just have a casual walk." Ye Feng added.

He did not want to alert the other party, it was enough to know of the estate's layout.

"There is no problem with that, I can give you a tour of the place." Olek did not object to this, he even added: "With your strength, you can definitely create your own clan as well."

He did not mind Ye Feng's request, after all, he was dealing with a Blacksmith now. The truth was, these types of professionals had their own weird traits, Ye Feng's request was nowhere near their level of weirdness.

He could even bring Ye Feng on a tour of their clan and display their strength, it would be helpful in making their cooperation go smoother, the clan could even gain an edge in their later negotiation.

Furthermore, the clan's secrets were kept deep in the estate, these external areas were meant for guests to wander about, so there were no issues with letting Ye Feng have a tour of the place.

"Thank you for the praise." Ye Feng smiled, he acted confidently and politely: "Let's go."

He was representing the Blacksmith Guild now, to gain the other party's respect, he needed to show his own value.

His own forging skills were the foundation, while his attitude now symbolized his desire for cooperation.

"Please, follow me." Olek had a good impression of Ye Feng, he signaled with his hand as he invited Ye Feng to walk with him.

"Sir Ye Feng, why did you think of cooperating with our clan?" Olek walked in front of Ye Feng and asked.

"It was a coincidence." Ye Feng smiled plainly, he knew why Olek asked this.

He was a new stage six Blacksmith, it was weird that he directly went to find their clan.

But they could not find anything with their investigations. In fact, even if they could link him to Aden City, it would only make them feel more assured.

While observed closely by Olek, Ye Feng started to give the explanation that he had prepared earlier.

"You should know that I am new to the Capital City. When I had just arrived, the first tavern that I went to belongs to your clan. Mm, your southwood ale is quite delicious."

"You know this too, for a cooperation, suitability is all that matters. In my eyes, all the clans are the same, I may as well choose yours which I feel closer to."

He did not spend much time on this excuse, after all, it only had to sound logical. It was true that the tavern was owned by Tiffany's clan, and he had drunk the southwood ale there.

This was the truth no matter how they saw it, but his inner thoughts and goals were his own secret.

The reason why he chose that tavern was because of this, by going to a place owned by Tiffany's clan, he could gain more relevant information.

At that time, all he wanted was more information, logically speaking, the tavern owned by the clan would have more information regarding their clan members.

"So that's it." Olek nodded, it did not matter if he believed the answer, but he smiled and replied: "It seems we truly share an affinity."

No matter what he believed, the cooperation had to be established, there was nothing that could harm the clan anyway.

It was a rare chance to cooperate with a stage six Blacksmith, not to mention that this was a loner who had not interacted with the other clans yet. It was a huge benefit to them since there were only a few clans which had such a cooperative relationship with a stage six Blacksmith.

They had thought about asking Ye Feng to not cooperate with the other clans, but they knew that this was nearly impossible to achieve. Or rather, the price to pay was too high.

It was the same as asking Ye Feng to become their personal Blacksmith.

Ye Feng did not mind the cooperation as well, but he would try to come up with excuses to extend the time he could stay here, he had to observe the surrounding environment after all.

Under Ye Feng's control, the talk went smoothly and they confirmed most of the details, but he left without signing any actual contract with them.

It was not a beneficial thing for him to confirm this cooperation on their first meeting.

Chapter 163: Obstruction

After returning to his home, Ye Feng quickly started to make a plan for infiltration.

In their earlier talk, Olek was not guarded against Ye Feng. Although he did not bring him inside the interior part of the clan, he told Ye Feng about most of the buildings.

As long as he was vigilant and patient, he should be able to find Tiffany's room.

In their earlier conversation, he did not show any suspicious intentions, most of the information was given by Olek himself. Thus, no matter what he wanted to know, all he had to do was to direct the conversation in that area once in a while.

No matter how vigilant someone was, they would not notice any issues because his mannerism and speech were the same as a normal conversation. He had only changed his questions to those that he cared about.

After the matter of the dwarf tribe, he also learned some infiltration techniques from Aden City's Knight's Academy. Although he was not a professional, with his level of strength, it would not be too hard.

He had no problems with eliminating traces and evidence, this place was not like the dwarf tribe which had no wariness, or alertness, any form of clue left behind would easily lead to a problem.

When he infiltrated the dwarf tribe, he focused on not getting discovered, he did not care about the traces he left along the way.

But those dwarves and beastmen could not make use of the traces with their 'intelligence'.

Humans were quite different, in fact, aside from the Capital City, even an ordinary city would be able to find him if he left behind obvious clues.

After confirming his infiltration plan, Ye Feng waited for night time to arrive, he was not going to attempt it in the day.

The night was always the best timing for infiltration. Although suspicious sounds were more easily heard at night, most people could be trained to reduce the sound they made when they moved, thus, the biggest issue was still the eyes.

At night, the eyes were least perceptive, even if people were most alert at night, they could not help but feel tired and unable to concentrate.

"It is about time." Ye Feng opened his eyes and wore the pitch-black clothes that he had prepared.

He had always kept a set of such useful clothes, it could not only be worn at night. If he wanted to do anything illegal, he could wear the black clothes to conceal his identity.

This was simply a necessity for committing crimes.

But once he reached the rooftop, he was assaulted.

"How many times has it been..." Ye Feng sighed as he looked at the three black clothed people.

He could not remember how many times he had been attacked already. It might be because he was used to it, but he felt no surprise at seeing these three people.

Even though he had not expected to be assaulted now.

These three did not speak, they charged towards him immediately.

Under the illumination of the street lamps, their swords reflected an icy cold light.

"Professional assassins again?" Ye Feng felt some headache, they were not easy to deal with.

He had already understood the pattern, those who talked to him were the subordinates of his enemies. Those who did not speak were most likely professional assassins or sacrificial pawns nurtured by the various clans.

"I can't use magic now, it will take some effort to deal with all three of them."

A dark-gold longsword appeared in Ye Feng's hand, it was the Wind Spirit Demon Sword.

Trying to use magic in this situation was really asking for trouble. Unless he wanted to openly fight everyone, he had to fight with only physical methods.

He had to kill all three of them and prevent them from escaping. Since they were after him, if information that he was sneaking out at night spread, it would be trouble no matter who found out.

Thankfully, these three only intended to kill him, otherwise, one of them would have returned with this information already. In that situation, he would be forced to use magic to stop them.

Ye Feng caressed the Wind Spirit Demon Sword in his hand before slashing at them, with the sound of cutting wind, several wind blades flew towards the enemies.

The night was the best situation to use wind blades, these nearly transparent blades could barely be seen under the concealment of darkness.

Although the three assassins were initially hit by surprise, with their rich combat experience, they immediately realized what attack was launched at them.

They quickly split up, even on this relatively small roof, they were able to easily move at high speed.

"Heh..." Ye Feng chuckled coldly, he leaped forward and moved towards the assassin in front of him.

Ye Feng's sword was longer so the assassin could not hit Ye Feng before Ye Feng hit him, and because the assassin would not let Ye Feng hit him, he had to dodge.

But right when he was about to dodge, Ye Feng slashed with his sword as an even stronger wind blade was shot out through the Wind Spirit Demon Sword.

This wind blade was not created by the Wind Spirit Demon Sword, it was unleashed through Ye Feng's spell.

Although Ye Feng was not skilled at using this attribute, he could still use a simple spell like wind blade.

To maintain his speed, Ye Feng chose to pounce forward, thus, he could only support his body with his left arm while he spun in the air. After arriving before his enemy, the Wind Spirit Demon Sword easily stabbed into the assassin's heart.

After a successful hit, Ye Feng pulled out his longsword and rolled away to dodge the attacks of the remaining two assassins.

After flicking his wrist and getting rid of the blood on his sword, Ye Feng charged forward again.

The Wind Spirit Demon Sword was much more useful than he thought, especially when it was used as a medium to cast his spells, it was truly convenient.

Normally, magic could only be used through his hands, now, he could shoot them from his sword.

This was the same as extending the sword's attack range, if one was caught unguarded, it would be a lethal assault.

Who could expect a Knight's sword to unleash spells?

Furthermore, the spell was even very powerful.

This was the power of being both a Knight and a Magician.

Of course, a suitable weapon like the Wind Spirit Demon Sword was necessary.

The three of them already had some difficulty against Ye Feng, with just two remaining, they were simply not his match. After ten or so rounds, they were both killed.

"Something is weird..." After putting the three corpses aside, Ye Feng sensed something amiss.

"What if their target was not me?" Because he had often encountered such situations, the moment Ye Feng met the three of them, he immediately fought them.

But this was the Capital City, there were many possible assassination targets, he might not be the one.

"Let's check their identity..." Ye Feng scratched his head, it did not matter now that he killed them, these assassins who had taken countless innocent lives deserved death.

"Miller clan!" Ye Feng saw an emblem that one of the assassins brought.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 164: Meeting At Long Last

Since they were from the Miller clan, these three should be sacrificial warriors instead of assassins. The strange thing was, why did they bring the Miller clan's emblem with them?

Normally speaking, assassins would not bring along anything that could identify them, did they think that killing Ye Feng was an easy thing?

Or did they forget?

Ye Feng did not understand this, he had thought of the possibility that the Miller clan was getting framed, but in the entire Capital City, he only had one enemy.

Would the Miller clan frame themselves?

Or maybe, it was possible that someone did not like him and was petty enough to assassinate him, but they would not know of his grudges with Kevin Miller.

As for it being a coincidence, Ye Feng did not believe that there were such coincidences in the world.

"Forget it, I can't get an answer anyway." He could basically confirm that these people were sent by Kevin Miller.

He did not kill the wrong people. This was not blind confidence, it was a fact that only the Miller clan would have any reason to send their sacrificial warriors to kill him.

Kevin Miller definitely had a motive to do this.

After dealing with these three corpses, Ye Feng continued his infiltration plan.

The infiltration was much smoother than Ye Feng had expected. Tiffany's clan was not as guarded as he thought, there were loopholes no matter how tight the defense was, because of manpower issues, there were definitely gaps where there were no guards.

Ye Feng waited patiently for some time before he finally found a way to sneak in. During day time, he had already learned of the place where the clan members stayed, he quickly went there.

The following journey was much easier, these guards would not patrol the rooms that were meant for resting, as long as Ye Feng controlled himself to not make noises and restrained his aura, he would not be discovered.

But there was a huge problem ahead of him, how was he going to find Tiffany?

He could not look at every person here, it would definitely cause an accident.

Ye Feng had already planned for this, he came at a time where most people had not slept yet. In that case, he only needed to find Tiffany at the female dorms, he could get her to reveal some information to him since she was still awake.

Although he might not find her, the chances were not low.

But because of the assassination, some time was wasted. Now that he arrived, most of the rooms had already put out their lamps. If Tiffany was in one of these rooms, he would have wasted his trip.

BUt right when Ye Feng was thinking, a female servant suddenly entered the female dorms.

"I'll try my luck, it is better than wasting my time." Ye Feng sighed, he developed the intent to kidnap this female servant to ask about Tiffany's location.

But once this urge emerged, he quickly suppressed it.

He followed her stealthily.

"Missy, I've brought your fruits." The female servant knocked on the door and said softly.

"Missy?" Ye Feng's heart jumped, in the clan, there were only a few people who could have such a title.

Tiffany was one of them!

"Oh, come in."

If Ye Feng only felt emerging hope earlier, after hearing the voice, he became extremely excited.

Although this voice was quite soft, he was eighty percent certain that it belonged to Tiffany!

To think that his luck was so good!

Ye Feng breathed in deeply and held in his excitement, he slowly approached the room.

"I need to be careful, this is her family after all, what if someone has a voice that is close to Tiffany's?"

In his excitement, Ye Feng quickly found a solution.

After the female servant left, he slowly opened the door and hid himself.

There was a sound when the door opened, if the person inside found that it was open, they would need to come out and shut it personally.

"Seriously, she did not shut the door properly."

Ye Feng stared at the door until a figure appeared before him.

Tiffany!

Ye Feng breathed in deeply, he could not help but thank the Great Deity of Forging for the blessing.

Knock knock!

This time, Ye Feng knocked on the door without hiding.

"Who is it? Why are there so many issues today?" Tiffany said as she got closer.

She did not mind the fact that the person outside did not speak, she trusted the safety of her clan. Even though there was no one around, if any commotion arose, a large number of experts would rush in. Furthermore, nobody would want to assault her.

"Ye..." Once Tiffany said the first word, she quickly covered her own mouth.

Next, she opened the door and dragged Ye Feng into the room without speaking.

"You are too daring, you actually sneaked into the clan." Tiffany sat down on her bed as she smiled bitterly.

She could guess that Ye Feng was going to make a move, but to think that he would act so quickly and sneak in to find her.

"Not just tonight, I came here openly in the day." Ye Feng sat down without acting polite, he smiled as he said.

"Oh? Why is that?" Tiffany asked curiously.

Ye Feng had just arrived in the Capital City, how could he gain any connection to the clan?

"It seems that you don't know yet." Ye Feng shook his head and said smugly: "Today, the stage six Blacksmith of the Blacksmith Guild, Ye Feng, came to your guild for a talk regarding our cooperation."

"Stage six Blacksmith!" Tiffany's eyes lit up: "You improved so quickly."

Under normal circumstances, the time it took for a stage five to become stage six would be at least a few years, or even more than ten years.

She knew that Ye Feng was an outstanding stage five Blacksmith, but she did not expect that he would become stage six in such a short time.

"Don't you know me?" Ye Feng first praised himself before changing the topic: "What is up with this marriage? After hearing about it in Aden City, I rushed over here."

"You came really quickly indeed." Tiffany was helpless: "When I saw you at the auction, I was shocked."

"I did not agree to this marriage, but the clan is exerting too much pressure on me, I cannot defy them. Furthermore, there is also the pressure from the Miller clan."

As a member of the clan, she had no power to make a decision on such matters.

Ye Feng was silent for a while before he looked at Tiffany's eyes: "As long as you are unwilling to marry him, I will help you."

"Thank you, with you here, I can see hope." Tiffany smiled gently, confidence was restored in her voice: "The status of a stage six Blacksmith is very high, we may have a chance of success."

Since Ye Feng wanted to help her, she would not stand on ceremony. Before this, she had submitted to fate because she was powerless, but now that she had help, she could try to resist.

Chapter 165: Purchasing Materials

"But these are still two large clans, we need to be careful." Ye Feng pondered for a while and said: "Right now, we are just two people."

"Don't worry, I am not in a rush." Tiffany was more relaxed now, she smiled gently: "There is still some time until the wedding, we don't have to rush. We can worry about it when time runs out."

Ye Feng did not stay here for long, after they chatted for a while more, despite not stating it openly, they understood each other's feelings.

To prevent anyone from finding out, after most of the lamps were put out, Ye Feng left the place stealthily.

After meeting her, Ye Feng became much calmer, he had the mental state to think of his future plan.

Regardless, he had truly put down his worry tonight.

"Then, what should I do now..."

Although Ye Feng was lying in bed, he was not sleepy at all. Ever since he returned, he had been in a state of 'excitement', not to mention sleep, he did not even feel any tiredness in his body.

Right now, the biggest problem for him and Tiffany was the fiancé, Kevin Miller.

To speak the truth, when he first came to the Capital City, Ye Feng did not want to become enemies with Kevin Miller. He was just here to investigate the situation and find out Tiffany's intention, he would then try to find a way to cancel this marriage.

After all, this was set by the two clans, he had no grudges with Kevin Miller.

But now, they were true enemies.

The assassination that he faced when he came to the city was not confirmed to be the work of Kevin Miller, but tonight, he had evidence to support this. Furthermore, Kevin Miller also threatened him during the auction, Ye Feng was basically sure that Kevin Miller wanted to kill him.

Even if he did not want to kill him, he had planned to deal with Ye Feng.

In that case, Ye Feng could not wait for death, but he had not thought of a plan against Kevin Miller now.

He wanted to assassinate the other party, but how could it be so easy?

Not only did the Miller clan have stronger defenses than Tiffany's clan, Ye Feng could not even find a chance to sneak into the Miller clan and probe their layout.

Kevin Miller and Tiffany had different statuses in their respective clans.

But other than assassination, he could not think of any other plan. The Miller clan was different from the Odin clan, not to mention that he was alone, even with the help of the entire Blacksmith Guild, he could not do anything to them.

The Miller clan's businesses were just too large, the blacksmith industry was just a tiny part of it. The Capital City was also many times larger than Aden City, with just the Blacksmith Guild, he could not affect many of their businesses.

"Forget it, I'll put this aside, I can find a chance in the future." Ye Feng rubbed his temples and thought to himself helplessly.

"Next, I need to gather sufficient force and strength for my future actions in the Capital City."

Ye Feng soon fell asleep under his intentional control.

...

On the second day, Ye Feng did not rest, he went to the Auction House in the morning.

"Hello, Sir Ye Feng." The manager of the Auction House attended to him earnestly.

They had rapid information sources, they already knew that the Blacksmith Guild had a new stage six Blacksmith who joined them.

The arrival of a stage six Blacksmith in the Auction House definitely meant a huge transaction, it would be best if he was here to sell stage six equipment.

Of course, it would be good if he was buying materials too. After all, stage six materials were very valuable and expensive, they could earn a huge sum as well.

"Hello, I want to buy some stage six materials." Ye Feng replied politely.

As the Auction House of the Capital City, it definitely had a better collection than the one in Aden City.

In fact, just one Auction House surpassed the entire Aden City.

After hearing that Ye Feng was not here to sell stage six weapons, the manager was quite disappointed, but he soon adjusted his own mental state.

Stage six materials!

This was a huge transaction, he knew that Ye Feng was not here to just buy one or two materials.

"We have those, please come with me." The manager brought Ye Feng to the place where they stored materials.

The defense was strong here, he was not worried that Ye Feng would cause trouble. Of course, a stage six Blacksmith would not bother to cause trouble either.

Nobody would be so foolish as to openly come here and rob the Auction House.

"These are all stage six materials, but they are relatively ordinary." The manager pointed at a shelf as he said: "You know that we are an Auction House, the good stuff will all be auctioned off."

The Auction House mainly focused on auctioning goods, although they sold things as well, those were the comparatively ordinary materials.

Logically speaking, most people would choose to auction the valuable items instead of selling them to the Auction House directly.

It was common sense, as long as the item was good, auctioning it would derive more benefits than just selling.

"Mm, let me take a look." Ye Feng arrived before the shelf and started to look at the information provided.

[Luminous Water Grass]

Grade: Stage Six Inferior-grade

Special Trait: A fragile grass with a dark blue color. The liquid from the melted roots and leaves can give equipment a certain amount of magic resistance, it is suitable for forging defensive equipment.

[Lightning Strike Spiritual Wood]

Grade: Stage Six Inferior-grade

Special Trait: New wood that grew after a stage four spiritual wood has undergone multiple lightning tribulations. An equipment that uses this as the forging material will have a high chance of imbuing the lightning element and the aura of vitality.

[Water-Fire Rock]

Grade: Stage Five Supreme-grade

Special Trait: A rock that contains both elements of fire and water. An equipment that uses this as the forging material will contain the special traits of both water and fire elements, there is also a small chance of gaining an innate magic spell.

"They are quite good." Ye Feng's eyes were shining brightly, it was as if he was looking at a beautiful woman.

In his case, nothing attracted him more than forging. Most were genuine stage six materials, while the stage five supreme-grade materials were also on par with ordinary stage six materials.

But it was obvious that he could not buy them all. His funds were limited, at this moment, Ye Feng felt that he was too poor.

"Sigh... I don't have enough funds." Ye Feng sighed as the manager's expression turned uncertain, he asked after sighing: "I think I'll sell some things first, how is that?"

"Of course, we would love that. It is our honor to be able to help you sell equipment." The manager was dazed but he quickly smiled and answered.

"To speak the truth, I'm not really selling equipment now." Ye Feng smiled, he looked at the manager's disappointed expression and explained: "But it is about the same. The value of what I am selling is definitely higher than equipment of the same grade."

"Oh?" The manager's interest was piqued by Ye Feng, he asked: "What are you selling?"

"Do you have a place to test weapons? We'll talk there." Ye Feng smiled as he squinted his eyes.

He was going to sell some high grade mechanical beasts.

Chapter 166: Forging, Growth

"This mechanical creation is so strong!" The Auction House's manager and appraiser looked at the mechanical beast that Ye Feng controlled in battle as they sighed to themselves in amazement.

This was the first time they were seeing such a thing. Although many Blacksmiths would research mechanical creations, these mechanical beasts that could move on their own and fight had not been created before.

Most importantly, these mechanical beasts were not weak, the key here was whether they could be mass produced.

"Forget about the forging method, you know that I won't give it to you." Ye Feng understood what they were thinking and immediately said: "This was not invented by me in the first place, I cannot give the blueprint to anyone."

At higher levels, very few people would be willing to sell their unique blueprints.

Unless they really lacked funds urgently, nobody would do that.

"Uh, Sir Ye Feng, have you sold mechanical beasts anywhere else?" Although the manager's thoughts were seen through, he still reacted quickly and changed the question.

He knew that it was impossible to get the blueprint, but this was not a certainty, who knows what would happen in the future?

Since Ye Feng said this now, he would not be foolish enough to pester him.

"Mm... I haven't." Ye Feng answered: "This is the first time I've thought of selling them."

If he was not broke now, he would not sell the mechanical beasts. They were still quite useful to him after all.

Initially, he had not expected the Auction House to have so many stage six materials, he ended up not having the ability to buy them all.

"That's great." The manager said excitedly: "We will immediately advertise the auction item, your mechanical beasts will definitely be sold for a good price."

This was something that had never appeared in the Capital City. So be it if it was a novelty item, but the mechanical beast had actual combat strength of its own.

As long as it was well promoted now, these mechanical beasts that were sold would definitely make them huge profits.

"I have a total of five mechanical beasts, how about I sell three of them to you guys directly?" Ye Feng smiled as he took out three mechanical beasts.

There was no helping it, he had to buy materials. Right now, he needed money urgently, but an auction would take too long.

"No problem!" The manager was overjoyed: "Go ahead and choose the materials you want, we can directly deduct the cost from the sale of the mechanical beasts."

"Okay." Ye Feng nodded, this was the best solution now that he had insufficient funds.

...

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage six inferior-grade weapon, Water-Fire Twin Swords, you have obtained 8000 fire elemental points, and 8000 water elemental points."

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage six inferior-grade weapon, Spectral Spike, you have obtained 10000 water elemental points, and 3000 lightning elemental points."

After selling the mechanical beasts and using the funds that he already had, Ye Feng managed to buy many stage six materials, most of which he thought were useful.

Undoubtedly, the ability to read their information was very useful. Although the ability was useless in battle, it was perfect for buying things. Be it appraising items to find out fake products or picking hidden treasures, he could benefit greatly.

These few days, he forged several stage six equipment in the forging room of the Blacksmith Guild, his strength rose greatly as a result.

As long as he sold these equipment, he would recoup the amount he spent.

[Water-Fire Twin Swords]

Grade: Stage Six Inferior-grade

Special Trait: Two short-swords containing the elemental power of water and fire respectively. Both swords are imbued with magic that can be released by injecting energy, it can also automatically replenish energy over time.

Ye Feng kept the stage six weapons that he created and left the forging room.

He had already forged for a long time but he understood the logic of not overworking himself. Long term exhaustion could not help to improve his forging skills, in fact, his success rate would fall instead.

That would not be beneficial.

Ye Feng rubbed his eyes as he started to walk around the Blacksmith Guild, everyone who saw him would bow slightly in response.

Although not everyone knew who Ye Feng was, some would ask the ones around them when they saw him walking by.

After these days of staying in the Blacksmith Guild, other than those who did not frequent the guild, most people knew that Ye Feng was the new stage six Blacksmith that joined recently.

"Brother Ye Feng, do you know? Your mechanical beasts have gotten famous in the Capital City!"

At this moment, Ye Feng met an acquaintance.

After Gabriel saw Ye Feng, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed, he rushed up to Ye Feng and said: "Don't forget about me!"

He seemed to have come for Ye Feng.

"Tell me what is going on first." Ye Feng was helplessly as he brought Gabriel to a place for talking: "I've been forging the entire time, I'm not sure what happened outside."

"You don't know this, but once your mechanical beasts were auctioned, the entire Capital City went into a commotion!" Gabriel said in excitement:" These are Bronze Knight level mechanical beasts! They will never betray the owner! Those clans are going crazy over them."

Once he learned that the mechanical beasts came from Ye Feng, he became incomparably thrilled!

"How do you know that I am the one auctioning them?" Ye Feng felt a little suspicious but not fearful, he was a stage six Blacksmith backed by the entire Blacksmith Guild, those clans could not do anything to him openly.

"I am a businessman, I have my information sources." Gabriel smiled as he reminded: "Many clans also know about you now, you have to be careful."

"Don't worry." Ye Feng nodded, he smiled upon seeing Gabriel's expectant gaze: "Don't worry, I'll let you have a few."

"Thanks brother." Gabriel was overjoyed: "Don't worry, you won't earn any less compared to auctioning, it will also be sold quickly!"

"Mm." Ye Feng nodded, he still had a few high level mechanical beasts with him, they could earn him some income.

After passing the mechanical beasts to Gabriel, Ye Feng returned to the forging room.

"What do I forge now..." Ye Feng looked at his materials and felt a little dazed.

Most of the special materials had been used already. The remaining ones were metallic materials left behind, although they were stage six, the quantity was too little, they could not grant the weapon any attributes.

"Metallic material... metallic material..." Ye Feng muttered to himself and suddenly recalled his conversation with Gabriel.

"Should I attempt to make a stage six mechanical beast?"

Ye Feng looked at the materials again, they were enough to create one mechanical beast.

Soon, he made a decision.

"There is no point in keeping these materials, I should give it a try!"

Chapter 167: Infiltration Fails

"I finally succeeded!"

Ye Feng wiped off his sweat as he hammered continuously to assemble the mechanical beast.

Although he spent an entire day and night, the results were quite good. He finally created a stage six mechanical beast, this was the first one ever!

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage six mechanical beast, you have obtained 8000 metal elemental points, 4000 fire elemental points, 4000 lightning elemental points, 4000 earth elemental points, and a large increase in physical strength."

After the attempt succeeded, Ye Feng felt a huge amount of energy surging in his body, he had grown much stronger compared to before.

It was likely because he used too many types of materials, but the elemental points that Ye Feng gained also comprised various elements.

"Stage six mechanical beast..." Ye Feng looked at the obedient mechanical beast and smiled joyfully: "I cannot sell this, it will be very helpful in combat."

"Now, I need to await my chance."

...

"Gulp, gulp!"

Ye Feng drank a mouthful of southwood ale, he frowned deeply as he established an obvious fact.

His mood was terrible!

"Tomorrow is Tiffany's wedding, but the Miller clan has been iron tight recently, there is nothing I can do."

Ye Feng was quite frustrated now. Without any opportunities, he could not be the match of the Miller clan, even with Tiffany's help, there was nothing they could do.

"Do I really need to barge into the wedding tomorrow?" Ye Feng suddenly had a rash thought.

The chance of success was just too low, if he really wanted to do that, ample preparation was needed. But now, the wedding was a day away, he could not prepare anything.

"Forget it... I'll go back and make some equipment for Tiffany. Tonight, I will discuss this issue with her."

Ye Feng walked out of the tavern and sprinted towards his forging room.

He had planned to make equipment for Tiffany since long ago. But because this was not urgent and as he was busy making stage six equipment recently, he had only managed to make some of the equipment that she needed.

Regardless, her set of equipment was mostly done, he only had to make one last defensive equipment now.

"I have some materials unused, I can make a stage six defensive equipment for her."

Ye Feng took out his materials and suppressed his emotions to prevent them from affecting his forging.

He did not have much problems with stage six equipment now, as long as he was calm, the success rate was high. Of course, accidents could still happen.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage five supreme-grade defensive equipment, Magic Resistant Soft Armor, you have obtained 8000 water elemental points, and 3000 earth elemental points."

Ye Feng picked up the soft armor and checked its information.

[Magic Resistant Soft Armor]

Grade: Stage Five Supreme-grade

Special Trait: The armor has a high degree of flexibility, it is able to greatly reduce the damage caused by sharp weapons, and it will also provide an aura of vitality to speed up the recovery rate of injuries for the wearer. There is also a strong resistance to magic, as well as granting immunity to stage four or lower magic spells.

"Not bad." Although he did not manage to create a stage six defensive equipment, this Magic Resistant Soft Armor was quite useful with its effects, it was not much worse than a stage six equipment.

Although the defense was slightly weaker, its magic resistance was very useful, defensive equipment that could grant immunity to spells were very rare.

"I will give the equipment to Tiffany tonight." Ye Feng kept away the Magic Resistant Soft Armor and smiled as he mumbled to himself: "Tonight should be fine, I already know where Tiffany is staying."

Soon, it was night time.

Ye Feng sneaked into Tiffany's place of residence like the previous time.

But unfortunately, the situation was completely different now.

Ye Feng had an unsightly expression as he looked at the clan who was tightly guarded in all places. Likely because the wedding was tomorrow, Tiffany's clan had raised their defenses to the limit.

It was completely different from the previous time Ye Feng came.

If he was a professional assassin, he might be able to get in. But with his skills, he would get discovered the moment he tried to get in.

"Damn it, will I fail to meet her tonight?" Ye Feng cursed as he hid in a corner, attempting to find a way in.

But to his disappointment, he wanted for a whole hour without any opportunities arising.

"Damn it!" Cursing again, Ye Feng had no choice but to leave.

...

"Ye Feng?"

When Ye Feng was about to reach his home, he heard someone call out his name.

Subconsciously, Ye Feng stopped moving and turned to look.

"Ye Feng, where did you go?"

Kevin Miller had six black clothed people behind him as they walked out of the shadow, he said mockingly: "You went out to play at this time?"

"Kevin Miller?!" Ye Feng was truly shocked this time, it was not because of the assassination attempt, he did not feel such shock as he was used to it.

But the thing was, Kevin Miller came along?

He was getting married the next day, but on the night before that, he had the mood to assassinate Ye Feng?

"Shocked?" Kevin Miller chuckled: "You should be honored that I came to kill you personally, when you are in the afterlife, you can brag about this great achievement."

"Forget the rest, you are really good at bragging." Ye Feng smiled coldly, he did not intend to run. After taking out his Wind Spirit Demon Sword, he charged forward.

"Attack!" Kevin Miller did not make a move, although he had some strength, he was not Ye Feng's match.

He had some understanding of Ye Feng's strength, he would be courting death if he went to join the fight.

He had never thought of fighting Ye Feng personally, since he brought his henchmen, he had to use them well.

"Heh..." Ye Feng squinted as he concentrated, these six that belonged to a large clan were definitely not weak. It was too difficult to fight six people at once, thus, he had to use another method.

Kevin Miller did not want to fight against him, so he would try to force Kevin Miller to fight.

Ye Feng charged towards Kevin Miller without hesitation.

"Protect our young master!"

These six people were clearly the Miller clan's guards, after seeing that Ye Feng targeted Kevin Miller, they quickly defended him.

The six of them stood like a wall between Ye Feng and Kevin Miller.

"Lightning punishment!" As Ye Feng shouted, a large number of lightning bolts appeared out of thin air and struck towards everyone except him.

Now that he had returned to his home, he was not afraid of causing a commotion. In any case, these lightning bolts were not loud either.

"Protect me!"

Right when those guards went on the defensive, Kevin Miller's scream could be heard.

This spell was a wide range attack, Kevin Miller who was behind the guards could not escape either.

While the guards were busy retreating to protect Kevin Miller, Ye Feng said sarcastically: "Why aren't you attacking now? Hurry up and fight me!"

Chapter 168: Snatching The Bride

"Ye Feng, don't be too arrogant!" Kevin Miller was feeling annoyed and sore.

He obviously knew that Ye Feng could use magic, but he did not expect to see such a powerful spell that was even of the lightning element.

If Ye Feng unleashed the spell without regard for the energy consumption, he might get injured himself, but Kevin miller would definitely die from the lightning strikes.

His wedding was on the next day, there would be trouble if he got injured, even if they were just light injuries.

He brought six experts to attack Ye Feng, having planned to watch from the side.

"Too arrogant?" Ye Feng did not advance rashly, he said in disdain: "Who is the one who came to assassinate me late at night?"

"If you want to fight, come at me. Otherwise, you can scram. Don't disturb my sleep."

It was ridiculous that his wedding was happening tomorrow but Kevin Miller still came to find trouble with Ye Feng.

"Good, Ye Feng, very good. I will deal with you after the wedding." Kevin Miller said coldly before shouting at his henchmen: "Let's go!"

Seeing that Kevin Miller was leaving, Ye Feng's expression turned dark. So what if he forced Kevin Miller to retreat?

Tiffany would still need to marry him the next day!

Ye Feng returned to his room with heavy steps.

This was a rather quick night for Ye Feng. The more he wanted time to slow down, the faster it felt.

In the morning, Ye Feng headed to the wedding site.

Although the event had not yet begun, the location was already set up.

"This church is not too far away from the city gate." Ye Feng looked at the church as an idea appeared in his mind.

As time passed rapidly, the wedding soon started.

"This couple does not look like a pair of newly-weds at all."

This was the marriage alliance of two clans after all, there were many people who attended it. Thus, such discussions were quite common.

"Indeed, the two of them look really unhappy like someone owes them money."

"They must be forced into it, in any case, this is just a ceremony, nobody cares about their performance." Someone said, he seemed to understand the situation: "Their clans must have pressured them into accepting this, these large clans are always doing this."

Ye Feng hid in a corner and listened to the audience as he looked at the two main characters of this wedding.

"Kevin Miller is not unwilling at all, he must be feeling unhappy after my lightning bolt struck him." Ye Feng looked at Kevin Miller who had a grim expression as he thought to himself in disdain.

He looked closely and saw that Kevin Miller's skin was darker than usual.

Afterwards, he hesitated and almost did not dare to shift his gaze to Tiffany.

Right now, Tiffany had a look of unwillingness and unhappiness, she had no choice but to accept this and obediently go through with the marriage.

As Tiffany looked over to his side, even though Ye Feng knew that she did not notice him, he was still hurt by her gaze as he turned quite pale.

Her gaze was full of sadness.

"No, I cannot allow this!"

Ye Feng clenched his fists and stared at the stage, muttering to himself: "I will not let Tiffany marry this scoundrel!"

Saying so, he immediately turned around and left.

He wanted to snatch the bride!

Even if it meant ruining this wedding ceremony and getting hunted down by the two clans!

...

"Am I really going to marry him..." Tiffany looked at Kevin Miller who had a dark expression, she could not help but feel sorrowful internally.

Ye Feng's figure appeared in her mind.

"Ye Feng... I am not resigned to do this."

She had no way of stopping this marriage and Ye Feng had no way to help her. If he could, she would rather escape from here, it did not matter if she had to leave the clan.

But she did not have the ability to do so, her own strength was insufficient and she had no force of her own in this Capital City.

She had some subordinates in Aden City but they could not be here.

"Do I submit to fate?" Tiffany looked at the surrounding people and retracted her gaze as she continued with the wedding like a lifeless puppet.

But suddenly, she heard a clamor from nearby.

"What are those things?"

"They're made of metal?!"

"Quick, dodge, we'll be dead meat if they bite us!"

Looking at the noisy crowd, Tiffany saw several familiar figures moving rapidly among them!

The mechanical beasts!

They seemed to be low level mechanical beasts.

She had an understanding of the mechanical beasts, they had gotten quite famous in the Capital City recently, but she knew where they came from.

Back in Aden City, Ye Feng had told her about them.

"Is it Ye Feng?" Tiffany was excited as she looked around and tried to find him, her fists were clenched nervously.

"Ye Feng..." Kevin Miller thought of Ye Feng as well, he looked around in alertness.

Right at this time, a figure enveloped in metallic armor flew out from behind the divine statue, his face completely covered by a mask.

When everyone's attention was locked onto the mechanical beasts, he rushed to Tiffany's side and carried her in his arms.

"Ye Feng, wishful thinking!"

Kevin Miller, who was right beside them, felt extremely angry. He charged forward and wanted to stop Ye Feng.

As long as he obstructed Ye Feng for some time, others would come to help. By then, Ye Feng who dared to cause trouble in the Capital City would definitely die a terrible death.

Ye Feng simply had a death wish by coming here to snatch his bride.

"I did not want to kill you, but you made a move against me time and again, you have gone overboard." A thought flashed in Ye Feng's mind as he continued to move without slowing down. A dagger flew out of his mechanical armor and slashed towards Kevin Miller mercilessly.

He knew the importance of time now, he could not delay his escape. Killing Kevin Miller had an advantage too, he could get rid of this obstruction and also draw some attention away.

After slashing Kevin Miller's throat, he carried Tiffany who showed no resistance as they jumped towards the wall of the church using the mechanical armor's thruster, crashing through the stained glass as they escaped.

He had already found a route to escape, although he could not plan any further, this was enough to survive.

"Are you Ye Feng?" Tiffany raised her head and asked, although she had already known who it was.

"It's me, let's escape from this place." Ye Feng smiled at her, although his face was blocked by the mask, his gentle voice could still be heard.

"Mm." Tiffany answered as she rested in Ye Feng's arms, trying not to distract him.

After they left the church, their escape became much easier. After all, it was just a wedding ceremony, the defenses were not tight.

The bulk of the guards were all staying in their respective clans.

The members of the two clans could not outspeed them, while the guards near the walls were unable to stop them.

Chapter 169: Demonic Dragon Island

The two of them quickly left the Capital City, but just escaping was not enough. The two clans would definitely hunt them down, Ye Feng did not dare to relax at all.

"Where are we going now?" Although she was homeless, Tiffany still had a faint smile on her face.

Seeing that the situation was no longer as dangerous, she finally had the mood to speak.

Right now, she could speak without fearing that she would distract Ye Feng. If they were just traveling, he could definitely multitask.

"We can't go back to Aden City." Ye Feng pondered and replied: "Let's go to the City of Chaos. I have considerable influence there."

Aden City definitely had the Miller clan's traces, an ordinary city like that was quite dangerous for him to stay in.

It did not matter if he had the City Lord's support.

He might as well go to the City of Chaos that was more chaotic and less supervised.

"The City of Chaos?" Tiffany blinked and nodded: "Sure, I've heard of it but have never been there."

"Haha, the current City of Chaos is quite different from before." Ye Feng laughed: "Don't be disappointed when you get there."

After the matter with the dwarves and beastmen, the City of Chaos was no longer as disorderly as before.

"Mm." Tiffany nodded lightly, she did not bother Ye Feng anymore.

Although they escaped from the Capital City, they were still quite far from the City of Chaos, they needed to be wary of any pursuers from the two clans.

The clans were just too strong and they could not travel the entire time without resting either. Once they rested, they might get caught by those pursuers.

Regardless, because they were not in the Miller clan's territory, even if any group found them, they would not have many members, Ye Feng could deal with them using his strength.

Several days later, halfway through the journey, the pursuers vanished completely.

They were too far from the Capital City, it made sense that they could not be traced anymore.

"We are finally arriving." Ye Feng and Tiffany were walking slowly now, they seemed like they were strolling for fun.

"That's right, I've finally gotten away from that place." Tiffany sighed as she looked ahead: "To speak the truth, I am quite uncertain about the future."

"Don't worry, if you stay with me, I won't let you down." Ye Feng laughed heartily: "Don't you trust me?"

"Of course I trust you, how can I not?" Tiffany rolled her eyes and said cheekily: "I won't dare to say I don't believe the person who charged into the Capital City and snatched the bride away."

"Isn't that what you wanted?" Ye Feng retorted.

"Hmph, you brought me out by force." Tiffany scoffed and turned her head in embarrassment: "I'm tired, let's hurry to the City of Chaos."

...

"Teacher? You're back?" Claude rarely interfered with the dwarf tribe's matters now, but because of Ye Feng, his authority was firm and stable.

He spent most of the time forging in Ye Feng's small Blacksmith Shop.

"I'll be staying in the City of Chaos for some time. Hmm? Don't you welcome me?" Ye Feng squinted as he said jokingly.

There was nearly no one that he knew in the Capital City, now that he saw Claude, he had a sense of nostalgia.

He did not feel anything when he was in the city alone, but now that he was back in the City of Chaos, he felt like he had returned home.

"How can that be?" Claude's face was turning red as he waved his hand: "I'm so happy that you're back, teacher."

Next, he looked at Tiffany and asked: "This is?"

Although it was a question, by looking at Ye Feng and Tiffany, he had a guess in his heart.

Ye Feng was about to speak when Tiffany spoke first: "Hello, my name is Tiffany, I am Ye Feng's friend."

Ye Feng looked at Tiffany who was smiling and shook his head, saying to Claude: "Tiffany will be staying in the City of Chaos with me."

"Oh, I got it." Claude nodded and replied: "Lady Tiffany, welcome to our City of Chaos, please enjoy your stay."

"Oh, thank you." After entering the City of Chaos, Tiffany's mood had improved greatly.

The accommodation was quickly settled, Tiffany had been the person-in-charge of the Auction House previously. With Ye Feng supporting her, she quickly opened a shop in the City of Chaos as well.

Looking at how Tiffany had settled down in the City of Chaos and was living a comfortable life, Ye Feng felt assured that she faced no issues.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage five superior-grade weapon, Wind Travel Sword, you have obtained 4000 wind elemental points, and 2000 fire elemental points."

After walking out of his forging room, Ye Feng saw Claude who was waiting outside.

"Teacher, have you heard of the Demonic Dragon Island?" Claude seemed to have come here for this matter.

"No." Ye Feng shook his head, he laughed and joked: "Don't tell me there's an actual demonic dragon on the island?"

"Who knows." Claude shook his head and said seriously: "But there are many mutated beasts on the island and all sorts of valuable resources."

"Resources?" Ye Feng was interested now, he inquired in curiosity: "Tell me more about this Demonic Dragon Island?"

"Okay." Claude nodded and replied: "This Demonic Dragon Island appeared some time ago after a storm. It is not far from the shore, so many people wanted to explore and find resources on it, but most of them did not make it out of the island. Those who returned brought back lots of loot, there are abundant stage five and six resources. According to them, there are some Bronze Knight level mutated beasts there, as well as even stronger ones."

"Danger and opportunities coexist..." Ye Feng nodded as he pondered: "Where is the location of that Demonic Dragon Island?"

"It is in the sea that is east of our City of Chaos, there should be some mercenaries there." Claude replied honestly: "But because it is too dangerous, there aren't many people who are willing to stay there."

"I got it." Ye Feng nodded and smiled as he said: "If I'm going there, I'll go alone, you're too much of a burden."

"Oh..." Claude was rather dejected.

He was quite interested about the forging materials there, if Ye Feng was not around, he might make a trip personally.

Since Ye Feng said so, he could only stay in the City of Chaos. Of course, he was not that upset as he knew about his own strength.

Even if he hired guards, the chance of survival was still not high.

Ye Feng soon made a decision. He had to go to the Demonic Dragon Island at least once, there were too many good materials there to give up. Although there were no pursuers now, Tiffany and him were not absolutely safe yet.

Chapter 170: Lightning Wyrm

Even if Ye Feng was confident in his own strength, he had to make proper preparations before he set off to the foreign Demonic Dragon Island.

Even when going on a vacation, one had to prepare their luggage. Going to a dangerous place was even more troublesome, he could not underestimate a place that could kill so many people.

On the island, there were no laws at all, he could not interact with others like he was in a city. Thus, he had to be very vigilant.

"In that case, my mechanical beasts will be of utmost use." Ye Feng sat beside his forge and muttered softly.

In his case, he had enough equipment already, he could not use additional ones even if he forged more. And in terms of strength, he had just broken through, so he could not get stronger in this short period of time.

After returning to the City of Chaos, he also bought many of the forging materials that came from the Demonic Dragon Island.

The City of Chaos was not far from the Demonic Dragon Island, so many people were willing to sell their gains here.

After his attempt in the Capital City, Ye Feng had a much easier time now as he forged two mechanical beasts using the materials he had.

He gave one of them to Claude.

Claude was too weak, he needed the protection of the mechanical beast.

Naturally, he gave Tiffany her own mechanical beast as well, but since Claude and her were both in the City of Chaos, they should be able to help out each other in any case.

"Because of the Demonic Dragon Island, there are many people in the City of Chaos now, it is quite dangerous. You need to take care of your safety and the dwarf tribe too." Ye Feng instructed solemnly: "Help me to take care of Tiffany as well."

"Teacher, don't worry." Claude replied earnestly.

Ye Feng believed in Tiffany and Claude, he soon left the City of Chaos without hesitation.

...

Because of the location, if he wanted to reach the shore as soon as possible, he had to travel through a forest that had many mutated beasts.

Naturally, he could take a detour, but Ye Feng was not afraid of any danger. In fact, those mutated beasts were just free materials for him.

Everything went as Ye Feng predicted, there was no mutated beast that could threaten Ye Feng in this dense forest.

"I'll arrive soon, I can reach the shore in two hours." Ye Feng scooped up some lake water and washed his face.

While traveling through the forest, a lot of dust had gathered on his face. While fighting the mutated beasts, his body was stained with blood as well.

"The smell of a Magician..."

Suddenly, a deep voice resounded, even Ye Feng could not detect the source of it.

But soon, he saw a shadow flashing by him.

"Who?"

He took a few steps back in case the thing in the lake attacked.

If it were a mutated beast, one that could talk would not be easy to deal with.

"Lad, it is your bad luck to have met me, I love eating Magicians." A head that was twice the size of a human appeared from under the water.

It was a wyrm with a body of over tens of meters long and about two meters wide.

Ye Feng took a few steps back again, fighting was another matter, but its size was simply too pressuring.

The wyrm's body was dark purple and faint sparks could be seen on its scales.

This was a lightning wyrm!

"You like eating Magicians?" Ye Feng snickered coldly. He could tell that the lightning wyrm's strength was about the same as him, because of its size, it was likely even tougher than humans of the same level.

At the very least, it had a durable body.

"I've sensed your magical energy from long ago." The lightning wyrm's voice was loud as thunder, it seemed to be trying to suppress Ye Feng: "Be it Magician or Knight, they taste better than normal humans, it can also raise my strength. That is why I love eating you humans."

"Lad, don't think of running, nobody has ever escaped from me."

"Escape?" Ye Feng scoffed in disdain: "Don't be the one running away yourself, don't you like to eat us? I will take your corpse after you die!"

"Hmph!" The lightning wyrm stopped talking, it spit towards Ye Feng.

The spit was a huge ball of saliva that had lightning energy inside it.

Ye Feng was guarded the entire time so he easily dodged the attack.

Ye Feng was not lying, he was very interested in the lightning wyrm's corpse. If he killed it, its entire body could be used as materials.

There would also be usable stage six materials too.

Ye Feng took out the Wind Spirit Demon Sword that he became familiar with using recently as he charged forward without hesitation.

Using magic and his own meticulous control, he could stand on top of the water for some time.

The lightning wyrm was too huge, although it could use magic, it had difficulty in hitting him.

Ye Feng stepped on the water surface as he ran towards the lightning wyrm.

It was a huge target, he could attack it from anywhere.

Several wind blades flew out at once, causing injuries on the lightning wyrm's body. It was not as tough as Ye Feng thought, that was likely because it focused its abilities on magic.

"You damned scoundrel!" The lightning wyrm had quite the vocabulary, it opened its mouth and shot several lighting balls at Ye Feng and the surrounding water surface again.

Once the lightning balls reached the water surface, they started to spread over an area.

But Ye Feng was alert at the moment, he jumped onto the lightning wyrm's body as he stabbed the Wind Spirit Demon Sword into it, slowly expanding this wound.

"Ahhhh!" The larger the wound became, the more intense the pain. The lightning wyrm twisted its body and struggled as blood splattered and flowed out of the wound.

Ye Feng did not stab his sword deeply, after the lightning wyrm struggled, he was forced to get off its body.

But the Wind Spirit Demon Sword had the ability to slow down healing, he could definitely drag out the fight until the lightning wyrm died.

This lightning wyrm seemed to be like the humans, it could only cultivate one aspect. Although it could use many types of magic, its body was less durable than other mutated beasts.

Of course, it was still stronger than the human body.

But Ye Feng only needed to break its defense, he was fast enough and could unleash rapid spells.

If he patiently stalled the fight, the lightning wyrm was not his match.

Like what Ye Feng expected, as the battle proceeded, the lightning wyrm's injuries aggravated and seemed like they could not heal.

After suffering from Ye Feng's magic attacks, the lightning wyrm also suffered internal injuries.

"Ahhh, you scoundrel!" The lightning wyrm could feel pain coming from all over its body, it knew that it was not this human's match.

"You forced me to do this." As a chilly voice resounded, the lightning wyrm opened its mouth and sucked in a large amount of sea water, causing the water level to fall.

Splash!

A water pillar that was even larger than the lightning wyrm's body shot towards Ye Feng, it was so fast that he had no time to dodge.

It would be fine if it was just water, but this liquid had countless lightning bolts hidden within it!

The thick lightning bolts and powerful water current instantly engulfed Ye Feng!

Chapter 171: Wien

"Human, you will become my food in the end!" The lightning wyrm saw that Ye Feng was engulfed in the water pillar, it hissed excitedly.

"Cough, you are dreaming." A powerful voice interrupted the lightning wyrm.

Ye Feng charged out from inside the water current, several powerful explosive fireballs shot towards the lightning wyrm.

"How can you be unharmed?!" The lightning wyrm asked in panic as it looked towards Ye Feng, it said fiercely: "Although you can block one attack, I don't believe that you can endure multiple attacks."

The water that it sucked in earlier had not been depleted, although this move would affect its own body, it could not care about that now.

Ye Feng raised his head and looked at the lightning wyrm alertly, he did not dare to get closer.

If it was far away, he would have time to react and defend. But if it was too close, he would get heavily injured.

Earlier, he had used the defensive power of the mechanical armor, as well as a water attribute spell, water prison, to defend himself against the attack.

Because the mechanical armor had certain resistances towards magic, and because of his strong body, he did not suffer much harm.

Of course, he had some internal injuries now, but the lightning wyrm was also heavily injured. As this move had limited effect on Ye Feng, the outcome was basically decided.

Undoubtedly, the mutated beast's lifeforce was very strong, even though the lightning wyrm was already injured to this extent, Ye Feng still spent close to fifteen minutes before killing it properly.

Looking at the lightning wyrm's corpse that fell into the water, Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief.

His magical energy was almost expended and he also suffered considerable injuries, he had to heal himself before continuing on the journey.

He would not dare to go to the Demonic Dragon Island in such a condition. The dock that led to the Demonic Dragon Island was very chaotic now, he could meet with danger.

He was not afraid of danger, but it might affect his own condition when he arrived at the Demonic Dragon Island.

"I should collect the lightning wyrm's materials while recovering."

Ye Feng looked at the lightning wyrm's corpse and put his hand into the lake to drag it out.

"The entire body is a treasure."

Ye Feng started to skillfully dissect it.

[Wyrm Tendon]

Grade: Stage Six Superior-grade

Special Trait: A tendon that contains the power of lightning, it is very flexible.

"A stage six superior-grade material!" Ye Feng kept away the wyrm tendon excitedly, compared to it, the rest of the materials were not as important.

Ye Feng gave a kick to the lightning wyrm's corpse which looked rather pitiful now.

The lightning wyrm was too huge, other than the materials he took, there were nothing else that was worth taking.

...

"How much are you selling this for?"

Ye Feng stood before a stall and pointed at a jade green rock as he asked.

He could see the information completely.

[Jade Stone]

Grade: Stage One Inferior-grade

Special Trait: Contains a special energy that can be used in forging.

"Sir, this jade stone comes from the Demonic Dragon Island, it is so beautiful and is definitely more than just a rock, this must be at least a stage four or five item, right?" Seeing that Ye Feng was interested, the stall owner rubbed his palms together and said.

"A hundred gold coins, take it or leave it." Ye Feng chuckled as he said coldly: "Do you think I'd buy it if not for the fact that it looks good and I want to give it to my wife? This is a useless rock that serves no purpose at all."

"Okay." The stall owner only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to the sale.

Although he wanted to get a good price, nobody would pay this many gold coins except Ye Feng.

He could not bet on whether Ye Feng would be willing to pay more, selling it now was a safer decision.

After Ye Feng paid, he tossed this rock several times before keeping it away.

He had no time to research it now, the information stated that it was used for forging, but how could he forge in this location?

While going to the dock, he was attracted to a scene in an alley.

There was a fight.

"Cough, cough, why must you chase me so relentlessly?" The old man who was attacked seemed to be injured, he sighed after coughing: "I've already escaped to such a far location, can that traitorous disciple of mine still command you over here?"

"Sir Wien, I am truly sorry." One of them was apologetic: "But there is no helping it, this is our mission."

After saying that, the three of them attacked again.

The situation was obvious, although the old man could last for some time, he was going down soon. Most likely, because of his injuries, the old man's stamina was depleting.

'Traitorous disciple?'

Ye Feng rubbed his chin, because he was in a good mood, he wanted to interfere in this.

Since he decided, he stopped hesitating and threw several explosive fireballs at them.

"I'm here to interfere in your affairs, let's cut the crap and fight, otherwise, scram."

Ye Feng saw that the four of them were drawn to him, he moved forward while saying in a lazy tone.

The three wanted to speak but Ye Feng interrupted them, they glanced at each other before turning around and leaving.

"Little brother, thank you for the help." Wien did not speak much, but no matter what, Ye Feng had saved his life.

"Are you okay?" Ye Feng walked towards him.

He did not ask why Wien was getting chased, it was not appropriate to ask for someone's secret when they first met.

"Don't worry, I can still live." Wien laughed: "My name is Wien, what is your name?"

"I am Ye Feng." Ye Feng answered.

"Brother Ye Feng, are you going to the Demonic Dragon Island?" Wien asked.

Most of the people who came here now were headed to the Demonic Dragon Island.

"That's right, are you going too?" Ye Feng's eyes lit up. Wien was not weak, even when he was injured, he was stronger than the average Bronze Knight.

Having an experienced person accompany him was much better than going alone.

"Then let us go together." Wien laughed: "With a Magician like you, we should not encounter problems."

Wien's injuries were not simple, he would need a lot of time to recover if he rested without additional help. Thus, the two stopped wasting them, Ye Feng who did not lack money booked an entire boat to head to the Demonic Dragon Island.

It might be Ye Feng's bad luck, or maybe this was a common phenomenon here.

He encountered robbery while on the boat.

Either the boat owner often did such things or maybe they were just greedy, but the boat members actually decided to target him.

"Obediently hand over your money." Several workers took out their blades and trapped Ye Feng and Wien in the room, they laughed sinisterly: "You are so rich, why do you have to go to the Demonic Dragon Island? Aren't you courting death?"

"It is your fault for meeting us, now hurry up and hand over all your money, we might still spare your lives."

Chapter 172: Arriving at the Demonic Dragon Island

"You guys are mentally ill." Ye Feng sighed: "Even when robbing someone, you should ascertain their strength first. At the very least, use some underhanded tricks against them. This is your territory, it should be easy to achieve that, right?"

"Why did you target us so openly?"

Although he said that, Ye Feng felt glad about this, if the boat members really used some cheap tricks, he might not be able to handle them.

But now, it was safe. They actually dared to go against Ye Feng openly without knowing his strength.

"This..."

"Don't talk shamelessly, hand over all your money or we will feed you to the sharks."

"Do you think the two of you can fight all of us?"

Some dared to threaten him while others were fearful and silent, it was clear that they were not a united bunch.

Looking at some of the members who were nervous from hearing his words, Ye Feng shook his head helplessly, he charged forward and took down that boat member who was the most arrogant.

Next, a fireball that was the size of a human head appeared in his hand.

"Don't try any tricks, obediently drive this boat and send me to the Demonic Dragon Island. If you work properly, I won't hold this against you." Ye Feng smiled coldly, if not for the fact that he needed someone to drive him to the Demonic Dragon Island, he would have killed them already.

In any case, after he threatened them, these people had to obey him. If they tried to do anything else, Ye Feng would kill them first.

Regardless, Ye Feng did not think that they were so daring. After all, if anything happened to the boat, Ye Feng and his companion might not die, but these boat members would be doomed.

"Cough, cough, you guys are really blind." Wien saw that they were scurrying away in fear, he laughed: "But your reminder is not good for us, we will need to be careful of them later."

Originally, these boat members did not realize that this was possible. But now, after Ye Feng reminded them, they knew that they could use underhanded tricks.

"Don't worry, this trip won't take long, they can't do anything." Ye Feng shook his head and left the room: "But we should still keep an eye on them."

Although Ye Feng was sure of it, he was not overconfident, he did not think that he was invincible either.

Under Ye Feng's supervision, the people on the boat did their work obediently and sent the two of them to the Demonic Dragon Island.

There were only a few boats docked near the Demonic Dragon Island, they were in charge of transporting people. Of course, it was uncertain how many of them were genuine businesses or whether they had the intention to rob their guests.

The Demonic Dragon Island was dangerous, but that was only on the island itself, the shore area was still quite safe.

The periphery of the Demonic Dragon Island was also not dangerous, other than being dark, it was no different from other islands. But the deeper one went, the denser the smell of blood.

Even Ye Feng could feel that the ground below him was sticky, the thick dense blood had not dried yet. Everywhere he stepped, there was a puddle of red-white liquid that belonged to an unknown life form.

Some places were stacked full of carcasses, strange creatures could vaguely be seen squirming around within them. Some things moved around beneath the skin, it was a creepy sight that nobody wanted to get closer to.

The stench of rot and blood assaulted the senses, making even someone who was experienced like Ye Feng feel like vomiting.

Wien pinched his nose and took out two bottles of medicine, handing one to Ye Feng.

"The air here is dangerous to our bodies, we will get poisoned if we breathe it in for a long period of time. Since we will be staying here for some time, it is better to be careful."

Saying so, he drank the liquid in one of the bottles. At his age, he was experienced and wise, since he was on an adventure, he naturally made preparations.

Ye Feng's experience was far beneath him, but this was the benefit of traveling with him.

Ye Feng looked at the blue liquid in the bottle and drank it without hesitation.

[Immunity Medicine]

Grade: Stage Three Inferior-grade

Special Trait: Grants immunity towards airborne toxins, it has a great effect on natural toxins like rotting gas.

This was someone else's medicine after all, he could only feel assured to drink it after appraisal.

In the eyes of the other party, Ye Feng had clearly not appraised it, thus, Ye Feng's action made Wien feel closer to him. In his eyes, the fact that Ye Feng drank it with no hesitation showed trust.

Not long after, their vision ahead became shrouded by blood fog. The light-red fog seemed to be all over the place, there was no way to avoid it.

"It seems we can't avoid it." Wien looked at the blood fog and tossed something inside.

After some sizzling noises, the spoon started to corrode after the blood fog came into contact with it.

"That's true, but we can't just leave right." Ye Feng frowned deeply and shot out a lightning bolt.

To his surprise, the lightning attack dispersed some of the blood fog.

The blood fog seemed to have only spread over a large area, it could be easily dispersed.

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment before moving his lightning elements to his right hand as he stretched his arm into the blood fog.

As he expected, the blood fog could not harm his right hand that was covered in lightning.

Ye Feng stopped hesitating, he covered his body in lightning and went in.

"Do you have a solution?" Ye Feng turned around and looked at Wien, his lightning could only protect himself, if he used it on others, that would be an attack.

After hesitating for a moment, Wien nodded. At the next moment, white light appeared around his body and shielded him, allowing him to enter the blood fog safely.

"This seems to be lightning too..."

Ye Feng nodded as he pondered but he did not say anything, everyone had their own secrets after all.

It was like how Wien did not ask him questions earlier.

For just self protection, the magical energy needed was quite little. Ye Feng's recovery speed was the same as the expenditure, thus, without any combat, he could last for a long time inside the blood fog.

Of course, it was not possible to avoid all combat. If this place was not dangerous, why would so many people die on the Demonic Dragon Island?

Some time after they entered the blood fog, a lump of fire flew towards them. There was quite a commotion that occurred after the blood fog along the trail was all burned.

The two quickly dodged and looked towards the attacker.

A short shadow that was vaguely hidden in the fog slowly became clearer as it appeared in their vision.

It was a blood-red lizard with green glowing eyes, it was about half a meter tall and four meters long.

There was a half meter long horn on the lizard's head, the fire seemed to have been shot out from it.

"This is the bloodlust lizard." Wien said in a low tone, he was quite serious now: "Seems like it has mutated inside the blood fog, it will not be easy to deal with."

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 173: Trap

"I understand." Ye Feng nodded solemnly as he shot out a bolt of lightning.

In terms of power, this lightning bolt was around stage one, he had only used it to probe the enemy.

Because the bloodlust lizard had attacked them first, Ye Feng was not afraid of provoking it.

Since it had mutated because of the blood fog, his lightning should be a counter to it.

But unexpectedly, although the bloodlust lizard seemed bulky, it moved with extreme agility.

With just a blur, it vanished into the blood fog without a trace.

The two of them had to stand back-to-back as they looked at the surroundings alertly.

"Normally, the bloodlust lizard should not have such speed." Wien said solemnly: "This is likely caused by the blood fog mutation."

An ordinary bloodlust lizard had two main traits, one was the horn that could absorb blood, the other was the immense strength that it had.

Very rarely, bloodlust lizards could use magic, but one with such speed was truly unheard of.

"Yeah." Ye Feng was very serious, the Wind Spirit Demon Sword was already in his hands.

Since the bloodlust lizard chose to sneak attack, it must be specialized in close range. In that case, if he used magic, it could not avoid his attack even from afar.

The bloodlust lizard did not have much patience, after a few breaths of time, the two of them heard the sound of the wind.

"It is just a beast, so what if it is stronger, it can only rely on instincts!" Wien smiled coldly and quickly chanted the incantation of a lower tier magic.

"Repulsion of the wind!"

Intense wind blew around the two of them, the surrounding blood fog became much thinner as a result.

The bloodlust lizard's figure was exposed as well, its speed also fell sharply.

"Lightning punishment!"

Ye Feng used the chance to unleash his spell, because he did not need any incantations, the slowed bloodlust lizard could not dodge in time.

After the bloodlust lizard got hit by lightning, it started to twitch on the ground.

Evidently, lightning was a strong counter to it.

Ye Feng and Wien would not let go of this chance, they charged forward and attacked the bloodlust lizard intensely.

Because Ye Feng's lightning restrained it, the bloodlust lizard could not resist. It was easily killed by them.

"Its blue blood and long horn are good forging materials, do you want them?" Wien spoke first: "I have no use for them, but if you take this, I'll choose the loot next time."

"Sure." Ye Feng did not reject him, he nodded immediately.

Possibly because they were not deep into the island, they did not encounter much danger. Of course, this was because they were very strong.

Not long after, the two of them saw a dilapidated building. After looking at each other, they entered without hesitation.

They were here for fortuitous encounters, they could not ignore such a suspicious building.

There were no traps in this building, once they went in, they saw a huge door. After opening it, they saw that there was a flight of stairs leading underground.

"Let's go." Ye Feng smiled: "This is a good opportunity."

Wien did not speak, he had a solemn expression as he went in with Ye Feng.

Even though this underground palace had not been visited for a long time, it seemed that there was an array formation here that kept it clean.

The entire underground palace was made of rocks, Ye Feng knocked on the walls and felt shocked by the toughness of the rocks.

The walls were as tough as stage one defensive equipment, they seemed to have been reinforced specially.

"Hehe, such wealth." Ye Feng shook his head and caught up to Wien who was ahead.

This underground palace was specially made to create fortuitous encounters for people, thus, along the way, they only actually encountered one trap.

Their gains were plentiful.

Ye Feng obtained one stage six material and lots of stage four and five materials, while Wien also got some medicine and a secret skill.

They were pleasantly surprised that this underground palace with barely any danger would give them such huge gains.

Soon, they reached the end.

Or at least, it seemed to be the end.

"Be careful." Wien said softly: "These places that seem like the end are usually laid with traps."

"I got it." Ye Feng nodded solemnly as he slowly walked to the only raised platform in the room.

He controlled the wind and retrieved the parchment at the top.

If it were an ordinary sheepskin parchment, it would have decomposed already. Evidently, this was a magic scroll.

"What's on it?" Wien came over and asked casually.

They had built a good chemistry along the way, in terms of loot distribution, there were no conflicts.

"It's a forging technique!" Ye Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart and handed the parchment to Wien.

[Secret Forging Technique]

Grade: Stage Six

Special Trait: The lifetime effort and technique of a stage six Blacksmith.

"Not bad, this is a huge gain for you." Wien looked at it before handing the parchment back to Ye Feng.

Although he did not ask, along the way, it became obvious that Ye Feng was a Blacksmith.

The two were not here to earn money, so he did not care about the forging techniques.

"Eh..." Right at this time, Wien gasped lightly.

Ye Feng followed his gaze and looked over, seeing an extraordinary rock.

"Be careful." Wien said while tossing a rock at it.

With his strength, tossing a rock was the same as pressing that special rock personally.

Crack—

Following the sound of mechanical movement, the two of them had changed expressions.

It was most likely a problem.

"Careful!" They said at the same time, soon after, a large number of arrows flew out from all directions.

They were as strong as stage three magic spells!

There was nowhere to dodge!

"Earth prison!" Ye Feng mobilized the earth elements in his body as several walls appeared around him, blocking the barrage of arrows.

Ye Feng sighed in relief.

Knights were helpless against such traps but thankfully, he was a Magician that could use various elemental spells.

As for Wien, his elementary wind magic was not of much help.

"Wien, are you okay?" After the arrows stopped shooting, Ye Feng broke the earth walls and looked at Wien who was three to four meters away.

"Cough, my luck is quite bad." Wien held his chest and wiped the blood off his face.

Right now, his chest was nearly penetrated.

Although his heart was intact, with such a huge injury in his chest, he was definitely going to die.

Although Ye Feng could use healing magic, he could only treat flesh wounds, there was nothing he could do now.

Chapter 174: Last Words

"Are you okay?" Ye Feng went over and helped Wien to sit up.

Even with his vitality, such injuries would be hard to recover from, unless appropriate healing was quickly administered.

"Cough, cough, your words sound familiar." Wien forced out a smile: "When we first met, didn't you say that too?"

"Do I look like I'm fine now?"

When he was near death, he became more humorous instead.

"Why are you still making jokes at such a time?" Ye Feng said anxiously, he placed his palm on Wien's chest and started to use healing spells.

He was not good at healing, at most, he could relieve the target's pain and let him last a longer time.

"Mm... I feel better now, it hurts less." Wien smiled: "You really know a lot of spells, I've never seen this before. Are you the illegitimate son of a certain Deity?"

This was the first time he had seen a Magician who could use various elements, not to mention that Ye Feng was a strong Knight as well.

Seeing that Ye Feng was so anxious he could barely speak, Wien consoled him.

"Look at yourself, why are you more anxious than me. Just keep the healing at this level, let me die comfortably."

During this period of time, he had already gone through many near-death situations. Additionally, because he was already quite old, he did not fear death.

Honestly, he was already tired of living.

"Is there no way to save you?" Ye Feng frowned: "Don't you have lots of medicine, can't any of them save your life?"

Along the way, he had been surprised by the various tools that Wien had, since he had those, he must own something that could save his life.

When one was outside, wasn't self-preservation the most important thing?

"I do, but they can't be used in this situation." Wien turned his head around like he was shaking his head: "Even those medicine can only heal internal injuries, there is a gaping hole in my chest now, what can my medicine do? In this situation, all I can do is delay my death and hold onto my last breath."

"Then hurry up and use it." Ye Feng was speechless.

"What's the point?" Wien sighed and said: "Using the medicine is a waste now, I'd rather leave it to you."

"With your healing magic, I can still live for some time. At least, I won't die before I finish saying my last words. This is why I can still chat casually with you now."

As long as Ye Feng continued to use his healing, Wien would not die just yet, he could still live for around fifteen minutes.

The vitality of a Silver Knight was simply immense.

"If you act like this, I won't heal you anymore." Ye Feng was speechless, why was Wien so talkative now.

Was he trying to speak as much as he could to make up for his regrets in life?

"That's fine too, I'll die soon anyway." Wien laughed: "I have enough time to finish my words, in any case, you were the one who saved my life back then, right?"

"It seems that I am fated to die, whatever you do will only delay the inevitable."

Earlier, it was really his bad luck. Although Ye Feng's earth walls were created slower because he was further away, he should have been able to block the arrows.

After all, Ye Feng's spells did not need incantations, his own earth walls and the ones around Wien were raised at the same time.

But Wien was just too far away, the earth walls appeared right after the arrows landed on his body.

Wien's words were very clear, Ye Feng did not know how to react to it.

"Cough, alright, it is time to leave my will." Wien's smile vanished as he wiped his lips and said in a low tone: "My full name is Wien Caesar, I am quite a character at my place. Your strength is close to mine, you should be able to tell that I am a Silver Knight."

Ye Feng nodded. A Silver Knight who was able to use low tier magic was a formidable person even if he went to the Capital City.

"Did you hear my conversation with those people? I ended up like this because of my disciple." Wien sighed as pain could be seen on his face: "He betrayed me because I obtained a treasure. Who could have expected that the disciple I raised from a young age actually chose to poison me because of this?"

"In any case, won't my treasure end up with him after I die anyway? I raised him like my own child, who could have expected this to happen?"

Saying so, Wien coughed because he was angry and could not catch his breath.

"The poison was not severe so I easily cured it. But during that period, he heavily injured me, I only managed to escape with difficulty."

"Heh, if not for him wanting to find out the location of my treasure, he would have poisoned me to death. Those pursuers were just mercenaries that he hired, after knowing about this situation, they were quite unwilling to kill me. Otherwise, I would have died already."

"But thankfully, because of you, I managed to survive. Sigh, at the very least, I managed to live until now, right?"

Wien looked at Ye Feng and took out a jewel that was sparkling with lightning.

"This is called the heart of lightning, it is the treasure that my disciple wants." Wien laughed: "I managed to enter the blood fog using it, heh, it will be yours now."

"No need to reject me, I can only give it to you now. I don't want it to join me in my grave."

Saying so, he placed the heart of lightning into the palm of the arm that Ye Feng used to cast his spell.

"Alright, you can stop healing me. After taking this, remember to take revenge for me." Wien smiled in a self-deprecating manner: "I wanted to raise my strength to go back and take revenge personally, but now, I can only rely on you."

Although he said he wanted to take revenge, he was quite conflicted internally. The child that he raised from a young age betrayed him, he felt that life was meaningless now.

"Don't worry." Ye Feng looked at the heart of lightning and pursed his lips.

"I trust you." Wien said weakly and stopped controlling his vitality, slowly shutting his eyes.

Although he did not suicide, under such heavy injuries, the moment he gave up on surviving, his life quickly ended.

Ye Feng placed Wien aside and kept the heart of lightning, he then started to control the earth elements.

This place was full of rocks, he could not dig a grave. Thus, he had to use earth elements to barely create a grave himself.

"I will take revenge for you." Ye Feng buried Wien and muttered to himself.

Next, he turned around and left resolutely.

Chapter 175: Rasputin

After leaving the underground palace, Ye Feng kept a solemn expression, anyone could tell that he was in a terrible mood.

On this journey, Wien had built a good relationship with him, they were basically good friends. Because Wien had a reliable personality, he was suitable to become one's friend.

It was not like he could not accommodate Wien, the City of Chaos would welcome him.

But who could have expected that with their immense strength, an accident still happened in the underground palace. He was killed by a trap!

If he had lost to a mutated beast, he could blame it on his weak strength. But getting killed by a trap was simply too pathetic.

Forget the fact that Wien was injured, against such an unreasonable trap, even if Wien was at his full strength, or even stronger than normal, he could not block it.

Without suitable magic, against such traps, one could only await death. At most, they could survive by preventing their vital organs from getting pierced.

But it was a pity that Wien's luck was so bad.

Ye Feng walked out of the underground palace and arrived in the blood fog again.

Although his mood was bad, he still had to continue moving.

"Oh?" Ye Feng looked in front of him, there was the figure of a person more than ten meters away. Due to the blood fog, he could not see clearly.

"There's actually someone who came alone, should I praise him for his courage?" Ye Feng shook his head as he muttered.

He did not intend to travel together with this person as he felt that going alone was fine too. Even with Wien's alertness, he had fallen prey to a trap, others would just be a burden now.

Right when Ye Feng intended to change his direction, a battle erupted ahead of him.

Two figures suddenly appeared and attacked the person in front of him.

He had clearly not sensed the attackers as he immediately got injured. But with his strength, the two of them could not take him down so easily.

They seemed to be talking as well, but because they were quite soft, Ye Feng could not hear clearly.

But now, Ye Feng who had not intended to do anything suddenly took action. This scene was just too similar to the one when he had just met Wien.

Back then, Ye Feng saved him from the clutches of death. Now, he could not leave the person in the lurch.

Raising his hand, several powerful lightning bolts were shot out, because the spell was instantly cast, the two enemies could not dodge.

Seeing that Ye Feng approached them, they left without hesitation, escaping for their lives.

They understood that this powerful Magician was far beyond their abilities, it would be stupid if they ended up getting killed instead.

There were countless opportunities to kill him later on this Demonic Dragon Island, they were not anxious.

"Thank you." After resting for a while, the person thanked Ye Feng as he walked closer: "Hello, my name is Rasputin, you saved my life."

He seemed to be of a similar age to Ye Feng, he looked rather handsome.

"Don't worry about it." Ye Feng had a plain expression as he asked Rasputin: "Why did they attack you?"

Although he had saved two people in such a short period of time, it was unlikely that Rasputin was the same as Wien who had a traitorous disciple.

"We met outside." Rasputin had an awkward expression, he muttered: "We don't have a good relationship, and because I'm weaker than them, they attacked me."

"Oh." Ye Feng nodded, although he knew that Rasputin was not speaking the truth, he did not bother to ask, instead, he introduced himself: "I am Ye Feng."

"Thank you, Ye Feng." Rasputin thanked him again before getting up: "Can we travel together? If I am alone, I may get attacked by them again."

Ye Feng was a powerful and reliable shield, it would be a waste to let him go.

He was speaking the truth as well. In this situation, if he tried to go outside and got attacked, he would likely not be lucky enough to get saved again.

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment but upon seeing Rasputin's earnest expression, he sighed to himself.

"Come along if you want to."

"Thank you!" Rasputin was overjoyed, he quickly went closer to Ye Feng and followed him.

...

"Be careful." Ye Feng pulled Rasputin back, sighing: "There is a swamp in front, don't step into it."

Mostly because there were many decaying bodies everywhere, the Demonic Dragon Island had a lot of swamps. Due to the various toxins contained in the corpses, these swamps were also quite poisonous.

Although there would not be any danger with a companion around, it would still be quite a troublesome thing to deal with. If they reacted slowly or lacked measures against it, it was likely to get poisoned and greatly affect one's mobility.

Because of the blood fog that affected vision, it was hard to see the difference between the swamp and ordinary ground.

"Thanks." Rasputin was still a little shocked, he thanked while quickly stepping back.

Right at this moment, from the swamp in front of Rasputin, a black vine shot towards him at lightning speed.

The vine had a dark metallic luster, it was able to easily pierce one's stomach!

Rasputin reacted quickly, he waved his sword to block it while swiftly evading the attack.

After failing to hit its target, the mutated beast seemed angered as several vines shot out of the swamp, some were tough, some were flexible, while some contained poison.

"It must have mutated as well." Ye Feng swung his sword to block a vine, even with his strength, he could only create a small cut on the vine!

"Hmm... this seems to be a mutation of poisonous vines, it is a vine monster?" Rasputin looked at the unknown species in the swamp as he felt a little speechless.

This poisonous vine monster was a large ball made of vines with varying colors, it was very strange and peculiar.

"Poisonous vines?" Ye Feng muttered to himself, after repelling another vine, he unleashed his magic.

The poisonous vine had a great reputation, but similar to other plants, it had one weakness.

Fire.

Ordinary fire could not harm it, but Ye Feng's spells were not ordinary!

He was not just capable of using fireballs as well.

Almost all the mutated beasts in the blood fog feared lightning under normal situations!

After Ye Feng's barrage, this poisonous vine monster that could threaten Silver Knights was killed without even putting up a resistance.

"A Magician..." Rasputin looked at this scene while feeling very envious.

Undoubtedly, Magicians were much more useful in dealing with mutated beasts, even lower level Magicians were more useful than powerful Knights in some situations.

"This is the only usable material."

Ye Feng had basically dissected the entire poisonous vine monster.

[Sturdy Vine]

Grade: Stage Six Inferior-grade

Special Trait: The most powerful vine of the poisonous vine monster. It has incredible sturdiness, even among other rank six materials.

"Do you want this vine?" Ye Feng looked at Rasputin and waved the sturdy vine around.

Even though he said that, he was not handing it over to Rasputin.

"How can I take it?" Rasputin waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "You saved my life, how can I possibly take your loot? This poisonous vine monster was killed by you as well, I didn't contribute to it, I have no rights to take it."

"Moreover, if you had not pulled me back, I would have fallen into the swamp and likely got killed by the poisonous vine monster."

"Fine then, I'll take it." Ye Feng nodded as his expression became friendlier.

It seemed that this Rasputin was a decent guy, he was not greedy at least.

The truth was, even if Rasputin was dragged into the swamp, as long as the poisonous vine monster did not kill him immediately, Ye Feng would be able to save him.

The swamp was too big, the two decided to find a way around it. It was too tough to try and cross the swamp directly.

"Brother, look at that tree!"

Once the two arrived at the periphery of the swamp, Rasputin suddenly pointed towards the side.

Ye Feng who had been observing the swamp looked as his eyes lit up.

"This is a longevity fruit tree?"

The fruits of the longevity fruit tree were very unique, although they were fruits, they could be used in forging to raise the durability of the equipment.

But for the current Ye Feng, only a thousand years longevity fruit would be useful in his stage six equipment.

Even so, getting a hundred years fruit was still a good gain.

"Let's go and take a look." Ye Feng looked at Rasputin with appreciation: "You are quite perceptive."

"Hehe." Rasputin scratched his head as he followed after Ye Feng.

Since they could see it in the blood fog, this longevity fruit tree was not too far from them. After speeding up, they quickly arrived at the tree.

"A thousand years longevity fruit tree!" Ye Feng quickened his footsteps, after confirming that there was no danger nearby, he went up the tree.

As he was vigilant, he checked the surroundings of the tree before starting to pluck the longevity fruits.

These fruits were quite fragile, he could not collect them using magic or long weapons.

But after Ye Feng plucked two fruits, he suddenly felt that the tree branch near him was pulled down.

He had not exerted any force.

"Brother Ye Feng, be careful!"

Although he did not see what attacked, after hearing Rasputin's words, he immediately let go and jumped down the tree.

"What is this?"

Ye Feng took a few steps back and looked at the mutated beast that was on the tree.

"I don't recognize it either." Rasputin shook his head, but wariness could be seen clearly on his face: "It looks too weird."

"Ox-Head and Horse-Face..." Although Ye Feng had never seen such a mutated beast, he had heard of it in his previous world.

It resembled the rumored Ox-Head and Horse-Face in the underworld, but this mutated beast had both traits in one body, a horse face on an ox head looked extremely weird.

"I can deal with it." Ye Feng tilted his head and said: "You don't need the longevity fruits on the tree?"

"No, in fact, I don't know what use it has." Rasputin shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The longevity fruit was rare among forging materials, if one was not a Blacksmith, they might not even have heard about it.

"Good, then be careful and protect yourself. We've never seen such a mutated beast, we don't know its ability." Ye Feng said as he shot a lightning bolt at it.

On this Demonic Dragon Island, he had gotten used to using lightning elemental spells, simply because they were super effective on the mutated beasts inside the blood fog.

The ox-head horse-faced beast was not large, it was around the size of a leopard.

Like what Ye Feng expected, the ox-head horse-faced beast was very fast, Ye Feng's spells could not hit it.

"Then I'll get closer!" Ye Feng smiled coldly as he charged up the tree by jumping on the branches.

Seeing that Ye Feng approached it, the ox-head horse-faced beast did not want to face him, it went further up the tree.

Ye Feng was not going to let it escape. So be it if this beast did not show up, but since it appeared, Ye Feng would not allow this threat to continue existing.

While Ye Feng was chasing it, the ox-head horse-faced beast suddenly stopped as it turned and pounced at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng subconsciously took a step back, but he felt like his left leg had stepped on something.

The ox-head horse-faced beast showed a human-like grin at this moment, by jumping on the tree branch, it hid itself on top of the tree.

Ye Feng looked down and saw a piece of crystal embedded on the tree.

Once his leg moved away, the entire longevity fruit tree started to shine, it emitted a dazzling luster.

"This is a trap?" Ye Feng looked around alertly, he quickly jumped down the tree.

"Ye Feng..." The moment he landed on the ground, he saw a beautiful figure in front of him.

It was Avril.

"Such a weak illusion, I can't even immerse in it." Ye Feng smiled coldly in his heart but he did not show this, he pretended to be affected as he walked forward.

"Avril, why are you here?" Ye Feng smiled gently, but he kept his alertness up.

He wanted to see what this illusion was meant to do, he also wanted to lure the ox-head horse-faced beast out.

"Because of that man who is with you."

'Avril' looked quite upset as she grabbed Ye Feng's hand.

"How can this be? You are not like Avril..." Ye Feng had just said that when 'Avril' suddenly took out a dagger and slashed at him.

Ye Feng could not dodge in time, although the mechanical armor was not damaged, a wound appeared on his arm.

"You are courting death!" Ye Feng raised his Wind Spirit Demon Sword and smashed 'Avril' like she was glass.

"So that's it, injuries in the illusion are reflected in real life." Ye Feng felt the pain in his arm as he frowned.

In that case, it was quite troublesome.

"Ahhh, I'll kill you." Right when Ye Feng was thinking, he suddenly heard Rasputin's scream: "So you are the one who killed Anna!"

Ye Feng easily dodged Rasputin's attack, while succumbing to his anger, Rasputin's attacks were completely without skill.

"Strange, why is he affected by it?" Ye Feng dodged while looking behind Rasputin casually.

A blond hair girl was smiling.

"Is it because of the difference in strength? The illusion I saw could not even deceive a normal person." Ye Feng kicked Rasputin while shooting a fireball at 'Anna'.

The illusion seemed to be different each time. Each person was affected by a different one, if Rasputin was stronger and had the ability to be immune to such illusions, this would not be so troublesome.

The illusion was quite easy to deal with as well.

He just had to avoid getting killed while he was in the illusion.

"No!" Rasputin screamed in agony, but after Anna's body shattered, he went into a daze and soon regained his senses.

Chapter 177: Rasputin's Power

"I am really sorry, I've caused you trouble." Rasputin quickly reacted towards the situation, he said apologetically: "Anna's issue is my trauma, to think that it would be used against me now."

"Be careful in the future." Ye Feng shook his head, he did not intend to ask about his story.

There was no need to.

He had already guessed the story at this point, it was a pity that the girl called Anna was no longer alive.

"Alright, this illusion has not been resolved yet, we need to find the formation core and destroy it." Ye Feng saw that Rasputin wanted to apologize again, he quickly interrupted.

"Okay." Rasputin clenched his fists and nodded.

"I activated the illusion on the tree, to resolve it, we'll need to do so on the tree." Ye Feng raised his head and looked at the lush green thousand years longevity fruit tree, he instructed: "Be careful of that ox-head horse-faced beast, until we kill it, we can't be sure of where it is hiding."

Once he said that, several ox-head horse-faced beasts appeared around them.

"As expected, these two people are not the only ones in the illusion." Ye Feng smiled bitterly: "We should thank it for giving us the time to talk earlier."

"Leave them to me." Rasputin looked at the three ox-head horse-faced beasts that were ready to attack, he took out a long whip that was covered in lightning.

"This is?" Ye Feng looked at the whip curiously.

[Lightning Whip]

Grade: Stage Six Secret Treasure

Special Trait: A long whip that is able to unleash lightning magic and secret skills. After much nurturing, it is considered top tier even among stage six weapons, but because of the specialty of the weapon, it is hard to control.

"This is the secret treasure of my family." Rasputin said in embarrassment: "They wanted to kill me because of this as well."

"I got it." Ye Feng nodded and said: "Don't underestimate these illusions."

Saying so, he stopped hesitating, he jumped past the ox-head horse-faced beasts that charged at him and went up the thousand years longevity fruit tree.

Ye Feng soon found the crystal that he stepped on earlier, he immediately pierced and destroyed it.

But nothing happened, Ye Feng looked down and saw that Rasputin was still fighting in the illusion.

"It is not responsible for creating the illusion? Or do I need to destroy more crystals?" Ye Feng frowned as he searched on the tree.

Along the way, he plucked several longevity fruits.

If he was not worried about Rasputin, he might not even be so urgent to destroy the illusion.

Because of the terrain, and because Rasputin had to fight an endless stream of illusions, he could not last for long.

As Ye Feng waved his sword, he destroyed another illusion. By now, he had already destroyed three crystals, but the illusion was still active.

He also found a weakness of the illusion, it seemed to be able to only create things they have seen, and it had to be something deep within their subconscious mind.

Earlier, other than the people that Ye Feng cared about, he also saw Kevin Miller and the powerful mutated beast that he fought when Wien was still alive.

The weaker mutated beasts in his memories had not appeared at all.

"Is it afraid of not being able to intimidate us? Even though we know this is an illusion, these opponents are still quite pressuring." Ye Feng looked up and accelerated his speed.

He did not want to search slowly, he decided to look at the crown of the tree.

Although trees grew slowly, this was a thousand years longevity fruit tree after all. It was about a hundred meters tall, Ye Feng needed some time to climb it.

He was not afraid of falling down, but the illusions that appeared from time to time were annoying.

Before he reached the top, Ye Feng's eyes shone as he saw faint light coming from the surrounding tree leaves.

He was right to climb the tree.

At the top of the tree, there were eleven crystals distributed around the branches, forming an array formation.

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment before using his sword to pluck out one crystal.

[White Crystal]

Grade: Stage Two Inferior-grade

Special Trait: A crystal that has lost its energy, the material is useful for forging.

Ye Feng pouted as he took all of the remaining crystals.

They were not large anyway, he might as well take them. These crystals were of all colors, he could make accessories with them.

After the eleven crystals were taken, the light on the thousand years longevity fruit tree started to fade, illusions stopped appearing around Ye Feng.

"I wonder if Rasputin is doing okay?" Ye Feng quickly descended the tree.

If Rasputin was just a Knight, these illusions would be quite troublesome. but he had the Lightning Whip in his hand, he should be quite safe.

...

Ye Feng's predictions were on point, against just mere illusions, Rasputin's Lightning Whip was more than sufficient.

Bam—

The Lightning Whip cracked and unleashed lightning bolts that were not weaker than Ye Feng's own spells.

All the illusions that approached him shattered into pieces upon contact with the lightning bolts.

"In that case, I'll survive until Brother Ye Feng comes back." Rasputin rubbed his sore wrist as he attacked again.

When using the Lightning Whip, the user would also be affected by mild lightning. Although it could not cause problems to the body, Rasputin had to expend a lot of energy to use it. Together with the unleashing of lightning bolts, it could not be used for a long time.

But these illusions were still easier to deal with.

Right when Rasputin was preparing to take a rest after getting rid of all the illusions around him, the sound of a sonic boom could be heard above him.

Rasputin raised his head and had no time to swing his whip, he immediately rolled away from the assault.

It was the real ox-head horse-faced beast.

if they fought one-on-one, Rasputin could match it for some time, but right now, he was inside an illusion.

Once he stood up, Rasputin felt some pain coming from behind him as he destroyed the illusion with his whip.

But the ox-head horse-faced beast would not let go of this opportunity, it pounced towards him.

Rasputin gritted his teeth and swung the whip, but he was easily knocked to the ground before the whip even hit it.

Secret skill — Full Powered Strike!

Right now, Rasputin could not use the Lightning Whip, he had to raise his left hand and punch the enemy.

Under the amplification of the secret skill, although he could not exert all his strength due to the angle, he still managed to unleash greater strength than normal.

The ox-head horse-faced beast did not expect that Rasputin's punch was so powerful, it was sent flying soon after.

"You really think I am an easy target!" Rasputin jumped up and swung the whip with both hands after activating the magic spell.

"Auuuu—" The ox-head horse-faced beast that had just landed on the ground could not dodge in time, it was hit directly.

Rasputin shattered the illusion in his way again as he charged towards the ox-head horse-faced beast.

Chapter 178: Obtaining the Secret Treasure

Seeing that the ox-head horse-faced beast was heavily injured, the enraged Rasputin did not bother to hold back, he attacked while the enemy was incapacitated by magic.

Once the whip lashed out, Rasputin felt his vision turning blur as all the illusions vanished, everything felt more realistic to him now.

"Has the illusion been broken..." Rasputin let out a sigh as his expression turned ruthless.

"Time to teach you a lesson!"

...

Rasputin sat beside a charred corpse that was still emitting smoke.

"You whipped the corpse too?" Ye Feng could tell that this was the ox-head horse-faced beast.

He did not feel surprised that Rasputin was able to kill the enemy, after all, the Lightning Whip was very powerful.

But looking at his condition, Rasputin seemed to have suffered some injuries too, probably because he was attacked by the ox-head horse-faced beast and the illusions at the same time.

It seemed that this illusion was only effective on humans, the ox-head horse-faced beast was completely unaffected.

"How are you? Is your body alright?" Ye Feng walked towards him and sat down.

His impression of Rasputin had improved again.

"I'm fine, but my combat strength has fallen unavoidably." Rasputin smiled bitterly as he pointed at his left arm.

"My left wrist is dislocated because of my secret skill, I also suffered some injuries caused by the illusions, as well from this beast." While speaking, Rasputin seemed to have touched his wound accidentally as he winced and said: "This beast actually sneak attacked when I was fighting, it is so vicious."

"Alright, drink the medicine." Ye Feng took out a bottle of healing medicine and handed it to Rasputin.

This was left behind by Wien.

"An advanced healing medicine?" Rasputin recognized the traditional potion immediately, he looked at Ye Feng gratefully and drank the medicine without hesitation.

Ye Feng placed his hand at Rasputin's wound and started to heal him.

He was an all-rounded Magician, he could use spells of all kinds, the only difference was whether they were stronger or weaker.

"Brother Ye Feng, you are amazing..." Rasputin could not help but feel grateful and blessed.

"That's why you can't be a burden to me." Ye Feng shot a glance at him.

Due to both the medicine and healing magic, Rasputin's wounds quickly healed, while the remaining injuries could not be fixed so easily.

"Let's go, we'll continue to move." Ye Feng saw that Rasputin was lively again as he took the lead and left after stretching his body.

Possibly because of the sunlight, the blood fog was much thinner now. As for how it formed, that was still a mystery.

The two quickly went past the swampy area.

They were deep into the Demonic Dragon Island now as they saw a dense primitive forest.

In this dense forest, there was almost no blood fog.

"A dense forest... there should be many good things here." Rasputin and Ye Feng had gotten closer during this period of time.

"That's right, but good things are accompanied by danger." Ye Feng reminded him before going inside without hesitation.

...

"Brother, you were right." Rasputin's lips twitched as he took out his Lightning Whip and looked at the surrounding mutated beasts vigilantly.

"Cut the crap, let's kill them so we can continue on our exploration." Ye Feng said lightly: "Are you okay by yourself? I'll go ahead and kill them first."

"Don't worry!"

After hearing Rasputin's reply, Ye Feng left him behind and pounced towards the black bear and silver wolf that were both covered in natural armor.

These mutated beasts were only at Bronze Knight level, Ye Feng decided to quickly kill them before going back to help out.

Rasputin had the Lightning Whip, even if he could not kill the beasts, he could stall for time.

But right when Ye Feng turned around after killing the two mutated beasts, the following scene shocked him.

A blood leopard pounced at Rasputin who was completely unaware of the attack.

Or rather, he could not react in time.

He had just swung his whip earlier, he could not retrieve it in time.

"Earth prison!"

Ye Feng waved his hand as an earth wall appeared immediately, blocking that blood leopard.

Next, he sent out a lightning bolt towards the mutated beast in front of Rasputin.

Using this chance, Rasputin quickly counterattacked.

Ye Feng had already returned now, working together with Rasputin, they managed to kill it.

"I'm sorry, brother, you saved me again."

Rasputin sat on the ground, he was still a little shocked.

"What happened? You should not have a problem dealing with them." Ye Feng frowned as he could not understand the situation.

He did not see the process of the battle, but Rasputin understood what had happened.

"This mutated beast has lightning resistance." Rasputin smiled bitterly as he pointed at the corpse: "And because I am unable to use the full strength of the Lightning Whip, one of them fought against me openly while the other launched a sneak attack.'

"I am just too reliant on the Lightning Whip."

Saying so, Rasputin fell into deep contemplation.

After a while, he raised his head and said solemnly to Ye Feng: "Brother, I'll give this Lightning Whip to you."

"Are you crazy?" Ye Feng did not have much of a reaction, this Lightning Whip could not significantly raise his strength after all.

He was a stage six Blacksmith, the one thing that he did not lack were weapons. Although the Lightning Whip was hard to forge, Ye Feng could make stronger weapons.

"I am serious." Rasputin smiled and said: "Look, I can't use the full power of the Lightning Whip. But brother, you can use lightning magic, this Lightning Whip suits you more, you can definitely display its full power."

"Moreover, I am just too reliant on the Lightning Whip. Although it is strong, it is also restricting me from using my own strength."

After a few battles, he understood his own situation. To speak the truth, the Lightning Whip could not allow him to grow much.

He might as well be like other Knights and raise his strength progressively.

He could not rely on the Lightning Whip forever.

"Isn't this passed down in your family?"

He was giving his family's treasure to someone else, wouldn't they kill him?

Hearing Ye Feng's question, Rasputin replied while laughing with tears: "I am the only person left in my family, I can make the decision on this."

"Don't reject it, you have saved me so many times, it is only right that I repay you. If not for you, my corpse would still be somewhere in the forest now."

"Okay." Ye Feng was silent for a while before nodding and accepting the gift.

If he rejected it any further, it would be too hypocritical.

After all, why would anyone reject a treasure like the Lightning Whip?

Chapter 179: Crossing Another Swamp

Was this the reward of an act of kindness?

He saved Wien and gained the heart of lightning. Now that he saved Rasputin, he gained the Lightning Whip.

Looking at it, should he start saving more people?

Every time he saved someone, he gained a good reward.

But this was because he saved two good people, if he saved a vile criminal who repaid him with enmity, that would be trouble.

"I hope Rasputin can leave this place safely, don't end up like Wien."

Ye Feng sighed as he took the Lightning Whip.

"Right, do you have any suitable weapons?" Ye Feng suddenly thought of this.

If he gave the Lightning Whip away, what weapon would Rasputin use?

"Don't worry." Rasputin laughed proudly, he took out a Knight's Longsword: "This is also stage six, it is suitable for me."

"You have many good things." Ye Feng was caught between laughter and tears as he shook his head, he went forward to heal Rasputin again.

Rasputin's injuries were not that severe, he only had to use healing instead of wasting medicine.

"This dense forest is not large, let's not waste time here. The earlier we leave, the better." Ye Feng pulled Rasputin along.

He had observed the area when he was at the top of the tree earlier, they were at the center of the dense forest now. It was really dangerous here, so it would be best if they left as soon as possible.

"I know." Rasputin laughed and said: "These light injuries can't affect my combat capabilities."

"Heh..."Ye Feng shook his head and continued forward.

Rasputin quickly followed him.

Their following journey was much smoother, they collected materials along the way, before long, they left the dense forest.

"Another swamp..." Rasputin looked at the small swamp as he became speechless: "Do we really ascend this mountain?"

This swamp was not wide but the length is somewhat frightening, covering their entire field of vision.

If they really wanted to get up that mountain ahead of the swamp, they would need a long detour.

In any case, they did not have a map of the Demonic Dragon Island, they had been roaming around aimlessly, it did not matter where they went.

"This mountain seems quite big, let's try to climb it." Ye Feng pondered before deciding: "We aren't in any rush for time, let's look around for a way across the swamp."

The two of them started to circle around the swamp, before they got far, golden light attracted their gaze.

They looked towards the top of the mountain.

The golden light was emitted from there.

"To create such a phenomenon, there must be a powerful treasure up there." Ye Feng rubbed his chin: "Since we're here, we can't let it go."

To speak the truth, this was the first peculiar phenomenon he had seen after coming to this world. Since the effects were so dazzling, how could there not be an amazing treasure?

"Let's hurry up." Rasputin squinted as he looked at the golden light: "With this brightness, it should be observable from afar. Many people must have seen it."

There was no blood fog here, and because the golden light was too bright, this phenomenon could be observed from a wide area.

"That's right, we can't waste any more time." Ye Feng nodded and said solemnly: "We are not far from the mountain, it will be a regrettable loss if we don't make use of the chance."

Of course, they were just nearby, it was possible that some had already gotten up or were near the base of the mountain.

But compared to most of the people, Ye Feng was still quite close by, if he did not try to compete, it would be a huge waste.

"Vines, grow!" Ye Feng stretched out his hand and tried to use a spell.

A large number of vines grew around the swamp, but in just a few breaths of time, they were devoured by the swamp.

"This swamp is deeper than we thought." Rasputin saw this and felt tongue-tied: "It must be a huge threat to be able to devour so many vines at once..."

No matter how deep a swamp was, it could still be dealt with. The issue was that there were things inside the swamp.

Like the poisonous vine monster earlier, the deeper the swamp, the stronger the special mutated beast that lived inside.

On the ground, they were not afraid, but if they fought in the swamp, they might get devoured by the terrain.

"I don't believe it is that strong." Ye Feng shouted in a cold tone and used his magic again.

This time, he did not just use vine magic.

Vine growth, vegetation spawn, wood prison, tendril lock...

A large number of plants covered the surface of the swamp in front of them.

But in just a few seconds, they were all devoured.

Ye Feng had already expended a lot of magical energy now. Come to speak of it, there were many spells that could be used to cross the swamp, but they were too slow and prone to accidents.

For example, he could create an icy surface for him to walk on, but what if he got attacked on the way?

Earlier, no mutated beasts appeared when he summoned the vines, but that did not mean they did not exist.

The mutated beasts were not stupid, they could differentiate vines from humans with blood and flesh.

Although a small number of them were herbivores, they were not in a rush. They could eat after the vines had sunk into the swamp.

"Brother, try using the Lightning Whip." Rasputin suddenly said: "The Lightning Whip is very long, it should be able to reach the tree over there."

With their strength, they only had to make one or two loops on the tree, in just a few breaths, they would be able to pull themselves over there.

They did not even need any huge tree to do that.

"We can try!" Ye Feng had just obtained the Lightning Whip so he did not think of it, he praised: "Good job Rasputin, you are very smart!"

"Hehe, this is because I'm used to the Lightning Whip." Rasputin scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Whenever anything happens, my first reaction is to use the Lightning Whip."

"Let's try it." Ye Feng took out the Lightning Whip and swung it at a tree.

Although he was not a whip user, swinging it at a tree did not need much technique. The Lightning Whip could also be imbued with magic to raise Ye Feng's control over it.

After it was looped around the tree, Ye Feng grabbed onto Rasputin's waist and used a spell: "Lightweight!"

The two instantly crossed the swamp.

Immediately after they got to the other side, several fish-like mutated beasts jumped up from the swamp and wanted to bite them.

"It seems like they noticed us long ago." Ye Feng looked at these mutated beasts and smiled coldly: "They have been waiting for us to come over."

"They are quite smart." Seeing that his plan succeeded, Rasputin was in a good mood, he said: "It is a pity that they lost their chance."

Chapter 180: Combat

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Since they crossed the swamp, they stopped wasting time and quickly moved up the mountain.

Although this mountain was not small, with their speed, they could reach the top in no time.

As expected, they were not the ones closest to the mountain, not long after they started ascending, they heard fighting sounds from above them.

Rumble—

Several huge rocks fell in their direction. Thankfully, because they were not the target, nothing bad happened aside from getting slightly stunned.

"They are really causing a huge scene." Rasputin quipped as he looked towards Ye Feng.

It was possible that many people were fighting, but it was absurd that many rocks were falling continuously.

Was there a Knight who liked to throw rocks as his weapon?

"Go, let's go and see." Ye Feng said naturally: "Since there is a show going on, let's watch it."

The location of the fight was not far from them, unless they took a detour, they could avoid meeting these people. Thus, since Ye Feng was confident in his own strength, there was no need to run.

Soon, the two parties who were fighting appeared before their eyes, the two men were fighting intensely and had not noticed them at all.

"What do we do? Wait?" Rasputin asked Ye Feng.

Although these two were focused on their intense fight, if they tried to go up, they would immediately change their target.

After all, they were fighting for the treasure at the top. No matter how intense the fight was, if Ye Feng appeared and tried to get up now, they would work together instead to force Ye Feng away.

"Let's watch here." Ye Feng showed a smile on his face, he said plainly: "We can make our move after they finish fighting."

Their battle was about to end soon anyway.

They had been fighting for some time, and because the two had a similar level of strength, they both sustained injuries.

This seemed to be an evenly matched fight.

"Berserk!" The one that looked like a middle-aged man shouted suddenly.

He had more injuries than the other party, there was even a deep wound on his left arm that exposed the bone, it could not be treated in time.

After he said that, his entire body inflated like a balloon, even his eyes started to turn blood red.

After using his secret skill, he charged at the enemy, wanting to end this battle quickly.

"Weightless spirit!" The short young man who fought against the muscular man had a magic staff in his hand, his face was quite ugly.

But it was clear that his incantation speed was too slow, once he finished chanting, the muscular man had already arrived before him.

The young man only had time to raise his staff to block the punch, but because he had already cast the spell, he did not resist the attack but floated backwards like a falling leaf instead.

Even so, his body was in poor condition, he felt like his organs and intestines had shifted position.

"Wind blade!" Several delicate wind blades shot out and sealed the muscular man's escape routes.

But the wind blades that were effective earlier seemed powerless now.

The muscular man did not care about his injuries, he punched again.

The young man who was reinforced with magic could not be hit so easily, he blocked with his staff and floated away again.

"That Magician seems to be setting a trap." Ye Feng squinted his eyes and said with deep contemplation.

Because of his secret skill, the muscular man seemed to have lost his rationality, although the trap was not that obvious, he should be able to see it if he observed his surroundings.

"What do we do?" Rasputin noticed it as well, he turned towards Ye Feng and asked: "Do we use this chance to deal with both of them?"

"No need, we will ascend after they're done fighting." Ye Feng shrugged, he held the Wind Spirit Demon Sword in his hand and said: "As long as they are not dumb enough to attack us, we can ignore them. These two are not a threat or obstruction to us."

At this time, the two who were fighting had not noticed Ye Feng, the young man was only blocking attacks while luring the muscular man to another location.

"Traction of the wind!"

Suddenly, the young man showed a smile like his scheme had succeeded.

He resisted the muscular man's attack while forcefully completing his incantation.

This magic was worth the time it took to cast, a tornado started to blow as the muscular man's body was turned around uncontrollably.

As a result, the muscular man stepped into a pit and lost his balance.

"This is the moment!" The young man quickly went up and stabbed the dagger in his hand into the muscular man's heart.

"Who are you?" Right when he was immersed in excitement after killing his opponent, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

"We are just passing by." Looking at his alert expression, Ye Feng could not help but laugh.

Possibly because of Ye Feng's carefree attitude, the young man felt a huge pressure as his expression turned sinister, he used his magic against them.

"Since you ascended the mountain, you must be trying to steal my fortuitous encounter."

Probably because he had just killed someone and was still running on adrenaline, he fought with his full strength now.

"Wind blade!"

"Air current control!"

Air current control did not need any incantation to cast, he was using it to control his other spell.

He shot out three flying blades that instantly reached Ye Feng and Rasputin due to the amplification of the wind.

Clank clank clank—

They either blocked the flying blades or dodged them with ease.

"Are you sure you want to fight against us?" Ye Feng's expression turned solemn as he asked lightly.

"Cut the crap! Even if I expended a lot of energy earlier, you are still not my match!" The young man opened his mouth and had a twisted expression as he laughed sinisterly: "You think you are capable of stealing my fortuitous encounter? I will make sure your corpses stay on this mountain for good!"

Saying so, he cast his spell again.

"You must be tired of living." Ye Feng shook his head as he waved his hand. An earth wall appeared before him that blocked all the attacks.

At the same time, Rasputin took out his Longsword and charged at the young man.

Rasputin was not a Magician, he had to get into close range to display his full strength.

"Burst of speed!"

Rasputin shouted as his speed rose drastically, he arrived instantly before the young man and slashed with his sword.

The young man waved his magic staff as a wind blade flew towards Rasputin.

But Rasputin only shifted his body to one side and let the wind blade cut him lightly without lowering his speed. This time, he chose to stab instead, aiming for the young man's throat.

The young man wanted to retreat but found that he could not move at all.

His legs were tangled by vines.

"A Multi-Elemental Magician?!"

This was the final thing he said in his life.

"He must be crazy, why did he insist on attacking us?" Rasputin swung his sword to get rid of the blood as he said in a speechless manner: "He was injured to begin with, yet he chose to fight us in that state."

He had discussed with Ye Feng earlier, they would not attack this injured person. In any case, he would not be an obstruction to them, there was no need to kill unnecessarily.

They were not people who would act unscrupulously just for an unknown treasure.

"Who knows?" Ye Feng walked over and started searching this young man's corpse: "Maybe he thought that we were going to attack him, so he had to retaliate first? Or maybe he was too excited and wanted to kill two more people."

The first explanation was most likely to be true as he seemed like he was really not clear headed. Did he lose his mind because he was injured and had just undergone an adrenaline rush after killing an enemy?

"Well, this is our gain then." Rasputin squatted down and helped to move their loot: "Brother, just give me anything you don't want."

Ye Feng was clearly distributing loot now, otherwise, he would just take everything away instead of placing them out like this.

This was the first time that they had cooperated to kill someone, it was a normal thing to distribute loot among themselves.

"We can't do that, you killed him so your contribution is the greatest." Ye Feng shook his head and said in a tempting tone: "He has a lot of things on him, most of them are obtained on this Demonic Dragon Island."

As he spoke, he inspected the information of these items.

[Cloud Cleansing Fruit]

Grade: Stage Five

Special Trait: One of the material ingredients for making an advanced medicine. It can also be consumed directly to heal certain injuries and expel toxins or other abnormal conditions from the body.

[Brain of the Crystal Lizard]

Grade: Stage Three

[Icy Fire Python Bone]

Grade: Stage Six

Special Trait: Has a chance to grant the forged equipment fire and ice elemental spells, the more energy used in the forging attempt, the higher the chance.

...

There were many good things, including ones that Ye Feng could use himself. But since he already said that, and because he did not lack materials, it was fine to let Rasputin choose first.

"Okay, I'll take these." Rasputin said as he hesitated for a moment before choosing half of the loot.

Although he could not appraise them like Ye Feng, he could still recognize most of the items, or at least, he could decipher their use.

After seeing this, Ye Feng revealed a faint smile.

Rasputin took an equal share of the items in terms of value, but he did not take all of the valuable forging materials.

"I appreciate it." Ye Feng nodded as he kept the rest of the loot.

The two continued to ascend the mountain, because of what happened earlier, they raised their speed. Fighting simply wasted too much time.

Of course, they wasted most of their time on distributing the loot.

"Brother, wait." Rasputin seemed to have seen something, he said that before jumping into the bushes.

Ye Feng looked over and noticed Rasputin's target.

He saw two pinkish-red flowers, if Ye Feng remembered correctly, this was a type of powerful healing medicine.

It was at least stage five.

Because he was a little far away, Ye Feng could not see the details of this flower, he could not remember the name either.

Ye Feng did not intend to wait at his current location, he slowed down and went over to look.

But by the time he reached the location, both the flowers and Rasputin had gone missing.

How could a living person go missing abruptly?

"Rasputin?" Ye Feng was a little nervous but he soon calmed down as he shouted in the vicinity.

Rasputin was not someone who would make such a joke.

But after he called out twice, Rasputin appeared.

"Brother, come here!" Rasputin's voice came from beneath Ye Feng's feet.

Ye Feng walked ahead, he saw a small cliff and grabbed a nearby vine as he swung down.

"How did you find this place?" Ye Feng asked curiously as he looked at the deeper part of the cave.

"When picking the peace cloud flower, I saw that there was an empty space here, so I came to take a look." Rasputin pointed up and smiled as he said: "This cave is too close to the cliff."

Indeed, this cave was only around ten or so centimeters away from the cliff, a strong Bronze Knight could even directly break into the cave with brute force.

"Since we're here, let's go take a look."

Ye Feng had some curiosity in him, so he decided to explore the cave.

"Brother, are those lanterns?" Rasputin pointed at the two lumps of light ahead of them.

Right now, they were already some distance into the cave.

"No... evidently not." Ye Feng stood on the spot, unexpectedly, there was some shivering in his tone.

He increased the size of his fireball as a giant dragon appeared before their eyes!

A giant dragon which had curled up its body with its head raised!

"Humans?" The giant dragon said with an aura of death: "Forget it, so be it if they are humans."

It seemed to be talking to Ye Feng and Rasputin, it also seemed to be muttering to itself.

It moved its head closer to them and shook its head after seeing Rasputin, it then turned to Ye Feng.

"Hmm? You possess so many elements?" Surprise could be heard from its voice: "You are actually still alive?"

At the next second, the giant dragon chuckled.

"This is even better, I'll choose you!"

"Wait..."

Before Ye Feng finished his words, a wave of energy engulfed him, he was stuck on the spot with no ability to move.

"Ahhhhhh!" Although Ye Feng could not move, he could still make noises. At this moment, he felt like his body did not belong to him.

It was as if his bones were smashed and put together forcefully, the intense pain almost made him lose his ability to think.

Most importantly, he could not move at all. He could only endure the intense pain, he could not even roll around to distract himself from the pain.

"What did you do?!"

Rasputin was about to touch Ye Feng but soon retracted his arm.

He was afraid of worsening Ye Feng's current condition.

"This is for his own good, just stay here and watch." The giant dragon lowered its head and said in a low tone.

"Inherit my power." The giant dragon raised its head and unleashed an indescribable aura, it was as if it had returned to its peak condition.

"Roar—"

A deafening roar was emitted before the giant dragon lowered its head, its lantern-like eyes were shut as it lost all signs of life.

At the same time, Ye Feng lost his restraints as he fell softly to the ground.

"Brother? Brother?" Rasputin saw that Ye Feng fell to the ground, he quickly went over to help him.

But recalling the giant dragon's words, Rasputin hesitated. In the end, he decided to wait it out.

This was Ye Feng's opportunity, it would be an issue if he interrupted and ruined it. This was the inheritance of a dragon, even if he only obtained a portion, it would be incredible!

If he forcefully woke Ye Feng up, the best case would be obstructing the inheritance, it was possible that he could even harm his life.

This did not seem to be a simple inheritance of strength, there seemed to be some sort of mental transmission, and such situations were delicate and troublesome to deal with.

He could not allow Ye Feng to be interrupted!

Rasputin breathed in deeply, he picked up Ye Feng and placed him at a hidden corner while moving him into a more comfortable position.

Next, he walked outside and stood at the cave's entrance, defending the place.

"This place is not easy to find, I hope nobody comes here."

Rasputin held the sword in his hand and felt a little nervous.

Ever since he gave away the Lightning Whip, he had not fought against any enemies alone, he did not know if he would be used to it. The Wind Magician earlier was too easily dealt with, he went down before the battle even got serious.

"Hopefully, nobody comes here, I want to avoid battle if possible..."

But the situation was not under Rasputin's control, neither would it change because of his wish.

"Hey, this place was so hard to find."

"This should be it, there must be something good here for it to be hidden so deeply."

"Heh, this is our good luck... Wait, why are there people who arrived before us!"

Two voices could be heard as they approached Rasputin.

"Brothers, don't be so anxious to go in." Rasputin smiled as he looked at the two young men: "It is quite dangerous now, trust me, don't go in."

"As if we'll believe you." The young man holding a blade rolled his eyes: "Why should we listen to you?"

"I can compensate you, how about that?" Rasputin held his sword subconsciously but his smile did not waver: "I will stay here with you, it won't take too long."

"Forget it, nobody will believe your lies." The young man who used a sword raised it and said: "I think your companion is trying to find treasures inside, you should come up with a better lie."

"Of course, we don't really care if you're lying, we're going in regardless."

"You..." Rasputin's smile froze on his face.

He knew that such poor lies were useless, but his intention was to stall for time.

To think that these people were unwilling to waste time talking to him, they directly exposed him.

"Alright, let's fight." The young man who held a blade raised his weapon and interrupted Rasputin.

Saying so, he charged forward with no hesitation.

"Huff..." Seeing that the enemies were attacking, Rasputin stopped hesitating, he went forward as well.

Since he could not avoid it, the only solution was to fight!

Clank!

When the blade and sword clashed, Rasputin's first reaction was that he could win!

He exerted force and repelled the blade-wielding young man before retreating instantly and dodging the other person's attack.

"I am not his match if I fight alone." The blade-wielding young man had a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, I'm here." After a short conversation, both enemies charged forward together.

"Burst of speed!" Rasputin went all-in, when he got closer, he accelerated and knocked into the blade-wielding young man while stabbing at his heart.

"Damn it!"

The blade-wielding young man did not expect that Rasputin would accelerate at such a distance, he quickly swung his blade downwards. Unfortunately, it was too late, Rasputin's longsword slashed a huge wound on his chest.

Rasputin did not stop there, he turned towards his right and elbowed the blade-wielding young man's face, he ignored the other person's attack and only wanted to cause mutual injuries!

The blade-wielding young man was seeing stars after the elbow strike, before he regained his senses, Rasputin's longsword stabbed into his heart through the wound on his chest.

After killing him, Rasputin quickly turned around and dodged the attack that was meant to land on his heart, it stabbed into the left side of his ribcage instead.

The enemy was not going to spare Rasputin, but seeing that his stab could not go further, he could only try to widen the wound.

...

"So painful..." Ye Feng held his head as he sat up, at this moment, he had already internalized all of the things that the giant dragon gave him.

"Seriously, not even a warning..."

Ye Feng recalled the feeling from earlier as his entire body shook.

He did not want to endure such pain ever again.

"Where's Rasputin?" Ye Feng stood up and walked outside.

After a few steps, he saw Rasputin who was slowly walking back while leaning on the wall.

"Are you okay?" Ye Feng was shocked, he quickly went forward to support Rasputin.

"Brother..." Rasputin's expression was pale, he smiled weakly before fainting in Ye Feng's arms.

Ye Feng placed Rasputin on the ground slowly and started to inspect his injuries.

"Thankfully, he only fainted after losing too much blood..." Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief, he took out healing medicine and poured it into Rasputin's mouth while casting his healing magic which was greatly strengthened now.

This spell used up more than half of Ye Feng's magical energy, but the effect was evident. Rasputin's wounds near his ribs were healing rapidly at an observable rate.

About fifteen minutes later, Rasputin woke up.

During this period, nobody entered the cave.

'Brother?"

Rasputin opened his eyes and saw that Ye Feng was using healing magic.

"Thank goodness you woke up." Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief, he helped Rasputin to stand up as they leaned on the wall.

"Brother, forget about me. I'm fine now, you should climb the mountain." Rasputin recalled the golden light at the top of the mountain, if this fortuitous encounter was missed because of him, he would feel extremely regretful.

"What if you meet enemies in this condition?" Ye Feng frowned.

"Don't worry, just hide me inside the depths of the cave, I am not defenseless anyway." Rasputin smiled weakly and urged: "Nobody will come here now, don't miss the opportunity because of me."

He was not wrong about this, since nobody came here after so long, it was pretty much assured that nobody else would come here.

"Alright, I'll seal the entrance for you." Ye Feng hesitated for a moment before nodding: "If you want to get out, just destroy the obstacle."

"Alright!"

After instructing Rasputin, Ye Feng left the cave. Once he was outside, he constructed an earth wall and made many vines grow on it, one would not be able to tell that this was a cave without close observation.

"I should continue climbing now." Ye Feng looked at the mountain top as he raised his speed and ran.

But surprisingly, Ye Feng's journey to the top was unexpectedly peaceful.

Chapter 183: Getting Away

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If this was a normal mountain, then silence would be understandable. But now was different, he had seen many traces of battle along the way, but he heard no such commotion.

He was already quite close to the top of the mountain, but it was still silent.

Logically speaking, there should be a lot of people who were ahead of him, how could the battle have ended so quickly?

It was too quick, something must have happened.

Ye Feng felt a little frustrated, he continued to speed up as he rushed to the top.

At the top of the mountain, a shocking sight awaited him.

There seemed to be an array formation on the mountain top, there was a two meters tall rock pillar at the center, and surrounding it, there were around thirty people standing at irregular spots.

All of them had varying postures but they stood unmoving like a statue, similar to Ye Feng back in the cave.

Back then, Ye Feng was still conscious despite being unable to move, he was able to make noises. But from their hollow expressions, it seemed like they were not conscious.

But since they were only immobilized, these people's lives should not be in danger, otherwise, Ye Feng would have no choice but to escape.

He would not dare to approach something that could kill so many people instantly.

He only had one life, he could not take such a fatal risk just for the treasure on top of the rock pillar.

But since the formation would not kill, he could try to enter it slowly. It was possible that the array formation could only activate once, right?

It was fortunate that Ye Feng was not a bloodthirsty person, otherwise, he could simply kill these thirty defenseless people with his magic.

After some hesitation, Ye Feng stepped into the formation.

Since he was going in personally anyway, there was no need to test it with other things.

But the moment he stepped in, two lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere and shot at his leg. Thankfully, Ye Feng reacted quickly and retracted his leg.

"This lightning is quite strong..." Ye Feng frowned.

He could endure just a few bolts but if they attacked him continuously after he entered the formation, he would not be able to keep himself safe against an endless barrage of attacks.

"The distance isn't very long..." Ye Feng suddenly thought of the method that he used to cross the swamp earlier.

Ye Feng took out the Lightning Whip and swung it. His control over it was quite poor, and because the item on top of the pillar was not large, he might not succeed in getting it.

"Never mind, whether I can obtain this item or not, I'll leave it to fate." Ye Feng let out a deep breath as he injected magical energy into the whip before swinging it.

The process was much smoother than he thought, the thing on the pillar was not particularly big but it was quite heavy, the whip did not just flick it away from the pillar.

After successfully wrapping around it, Ye Feng pulled and retrieved the item.

The moment the item left the pillar, the formation was dispelled. The thirty or so people were first dazed before they saw Ye Feng who was carrying a box.

"This kid took the treasure!" Someone shouted as everyone turned to look at Ye Feng.

"You must calm down, I saved your life." There were around thirty people here, Ye Feng subconsciously took a step back: "If I wanted to kill you, I would have done so earlier when you were trapped in the formation."

"Then regret not killing us!" Someone said viciously: "Let's kill him first, we can split the loot later!"

After he said that, everyone responded by attacking Ye Feng.

"Incorrigible!"

Ye Feng waved his left hand as countless flames shot towards them from the sky.

"Explosive meteor rain!"

This was a five star magic spell, because there were too many people, Ye Feng's magical energy was not enough to give all of them a fireball each. He could only use such a wide area magic attack.

But he was not the only person who could use magic; wind blades, water currents, and fireballs shot towards him.

At the same time, the nearest Bronze Knight had already arrived before Ye Feng.

In any case, these people were not on the same side, seeing that a large number of spells targeted Ye Feng, the Bronze Knight quickly dodged to one side. These spells would not care about friendly fire.

"Fire shield!"

These spell attacks were formed through energy, the fire shield that was made of energy could naturally block them.

——For now.

At the moment while the spells were blocked, Ye Feng charged forward and stabbed towards the Bronze Knight who was anxiously blocking spells.

Due to various reasons, the Bronze Knight was unable to dodge the attack, he was killed on the spot.

But Ye Feng also paid a significant price.

His current spell's duration had already ended, while the second barrage of spells were launched at him. At the same time, there were also many Knights left, but they had not attacked yet because of those spells.

"I can't conceal it any further, I need to use my full strength and escape from here."

Ye Feng's expression turned firm as he used another spell.

"Earth spike formation!"

"Earth prison!"

In order to cast the earth spike formation spell that affected this huge area, the magical energy expended was not small. Just these spells used up more than half of his magical energy.

The earth prison was not secure, not against those spells at least. It was broken through after some attacks, immediately, several Knights who forced their way through the earth spikes appeared before Ye Feng.

"Void Slash!"

Ye Feng swung the Wind Spirit Demon Sword in his hand as he instantly killed one person who was caught off guard.

"Earth trap!"

"Earth wall!"

While nearly running out of magical energy, Ye Feng unleashed two more wide ranged spells.

One was meant to obstruct them while the other blocked their vision.

But Ye Feng could only stop the people, in order to escape, he had no choice but to endure the brunt of several spells.

Undoubtedly, earth magic was very useful here. Because he did not need to recite incantations, Ye Feng's combat strength was much higher than others.

As a result, Ye Feng was capable of easily killing higher level enemies.

"Weightless spirit!"

Ye Feng's speed rose greatly after casting the spell, his reduced body weight also allowed him to not leave traces behind.

Using the time he gained, Ye Feng quickly vanished from their line of sight.

If he ran away directly, it would be hard for Ye Feng to escape from the mountain. Thankfully, Rasputin had found a cave earlier.

"Brother, you are back?" Rasputin went up to greet Ye Feng, he had obviously recovered significantly.

If a Knight was not too heavily injured, their injuries often healed fast. Together with the help of some medicine, the current Rasputin was merely exhausted and weak.

"Yeah, this is the thing on the mountain top." Ye Feng placed the box before them as he used a fireball to illuminate the cave.

"How do we open it..." Rasputin picked up the box and turned it around to research the mechanics.

After the situation earlier, their relationship had already improved greatly.

Chapter 184: Weakling

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Mm." Ye Feng took the box and looked at it as well. Although he had gotten it earlier, because of the fighting and escaping, he had not found any time to research it.

This box was about the size of two human heads, it was purple in color and seemed sturdy upon knocking it, there were also quite flowery markings around it.

At the opening area of the box, there was a small formation.

Ye Feng did not dare to damage it.

If the box was not secure, he could still try to destroy by force. But now, it could not be opened with a small force, while using excessive force would destroy the thing inside, the difficulty was really high.

As for the array formation, it was unknown if it would destroy the thing inside if the formation was broken by force.

He did not want to ruin the thing that he obtained after fighting against thirty people and ending up with injuries.

"We can't just let it sit here." Rasputin was a little speechless: "This thing caused a huge commotion, but we ended up with a useless box?"

"If not for the fact that you may destroy the thing inside, brother, you can just shoot a lightning bolt at it."

"That's right!" Hearing Rasputin's words, Ye Feng's eyes lit up. While the former looked with a confused expression, Ye Feng held up the box.

He pressed his finger on the formation and started to inject lightning elemental energy.

Once Rasputin mentioned lightning, he remembered that this formation on the box was quite similar to the one that trapped the people earlier. That formation was able to create lightning out of nowhere.

And because there was lightning markings on this box, there was a high chance that lightning energy was useful in opening it.

"Possession of lightning energy is not a common thing..."

Once Ye Feng thought of that, he immediately recalled the heart of lightning and the Lightning Whip.

"Hmm, I guess I just share a deep affinity with lightning."

After a few breaths of time, with a cracking sound, this box opened without any hitch.

Ye Feng's judgment was not wrong.

"Brother, you are so amazing." Rasputin sighed in amazement before looking at the content of the box.

"So this is the thing that everyone was competing over?" Ye Feng held up the egg in the box and said unhappily: "It looks nice but we don't know how to hatch it, this is useless."

The size of the egg was a bit smaller than the box, the surface of the egg had a dazzling purple color like a crystal amethyst, there were also green and white lines scattered on it. This did not affect its beauty in any way, but created a more domineering and elegant aura.

It might have been his imagination, but the moment Ye Feng held the egg, he could feel his hand going slightly numb.

After tossing it around and observing it for some time, Ye Feng placed the egg back into the box.

"Forget it, we'll leave it at that." Ye Feng kicked the box aside and said unhappily: "Let's treat it as a normal trip."

His gains were quite considerable already.

"Brother, the egg cracked!" Right at this time, Rasputin suddenly shouted.

Ye Feng got up and went over, he started to mumble: "Don't tell me it cracked because I kicked it earlier, if that's the case, it would have been my fault."

Once he looked at it, he saw a pair of blue jewel-like eyes staring at him lovingly.

Crack... crack...

The little beast inside climbed out with difficulty, after taking a look at Ye Feng, it started to eat the egg shell.

"It is so cute." Rasputin also came over to look at the little beast.

This little beast was snow-white in color, it seemed like a cat from Earth, but there were obvious differences.

Ye Feng did not know much about demon beasts, he could not tell what breed this was.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Ye Feng shook his head in disappointment, this demon beast looked too weak.

Although this beast was cute and he could give it to Avril or Tiffany, he was not in the City of Chaos now, he did not feel that it could survive long enough to leave the Demonic Dragon Island.

Unless he stopped taking risks and avoided combat.

"Forget it, this beast seems quite close to you." Rasputin rejected him immediately as he laughed and said.

For some reason, maybe because it saw Ye Feng first or because of his elemental energy, the little beast liked Ye Feng a lot.

At this time, the little beast finished eating the egg shell, it stumbled its way to Ye Feng.

"Stop pestering me." Ye Feng took a step back and pushed the little beast lightly with his finger, causing the latter to roll away.

But the little beast did not give up, it ran towards Ye Feng again after getting up, growling in a cute voice.

After seeing this, Ye Feng quickly got up. He ran towards the direction of the cave entrance and vanished in a few steps.

But the little beast did not stop, after getting used to walking, it chased after Ye Feng in the same direction.

It was not slow.

"Brother, just keep it, this beast loves you." As Ye Feng had actually not left the cave, he was quickly found. After finding him, Rasputin urged: "It may become very powerful in the future. Even if it is weak, it can still play with you. It is better to have a small companion with you on your trips."

"Sigh..." Ye Feng thought about Avril and Tiffany, he sighed helplessly as he stretched out his hand.

The little beast came to him rapidly, allowing Ye Feng to raise him up.

"Since you are so weak and have no combat strength, I'll name you Weakling." Ye Feng moved Weakling in front of his face and looked at him: "We will be companions from now on."

After playing for a while, although Ye Feng still thought little of it, his relationship with Weakling had improved slightly.

"Oh right, does it need milk..." Ye Feng suddenly looked towards Rasputin and asked: "Where are we going to find milk for it?"

Hearing this, Rasputin showed an awkward expression and said: "I don't know... I think maybe demon beasts don't need milk...?"

"Right?"

"I can try to find out what breed this demon beast is but I don't know how to take care of it." Rasputin was on the verge of tears under Ye Feng's gaze, he said helplessly: "Look at how lively it is, let's feed it some meat. For these demon beasts, it will be find as long as they are able to eat it."

The two of them found some meat and fed it to Weakling, after seeing that it was eating happily, they let out a sigh of relief.

On the second day.

After resting for some time, their conditions had returned to the peak state, their combat strength also returned to normal.

Because the mountain did not have many people left, they decided to leave.

Even if some of them stayed to find Ye Feng, there should not be many of them, they could deal with the remaining ones easily.

And the truth was, there was no other living person on the mountain.

There were only corpses.

Too many corpses in fact.

"Did something else happen here..." Ye Feng felt a vague sense of danger, he started to move more quickly with Rasputin.

Chapter 185: Powerful Demon Beast

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The closer they got to the foot of the mountain, the louder the commotion they could hear, it sounded like a battle.

From the noise, they could tell that this was a huge battle, at least, Ye Feng had not seen a battle of such a scale after coming to the Demonic Dragon Island until now.

He was still some distance from the foot of the mountain, but the sound of demon beasts and humans could be heard in waves.

"It seems that the humans are not fighting over treasure this time." Ye Feng could not help but quip.

After some time, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

It was a beast tide!

"It seems that everyone on the mountain has been blocked here, I guess some of those who did not climb the mountain are also trapped." Ye Feng looked at this tragic battlefield and sighed to himself: "Is this beast tide caused by the golden light from earlier?"

He did not know why this egg could cause the mountain top to shine golden. Was it possible that this formation could inspect the maturity level of the egg and release the golden light to attract people when it was about to hatch?

"What a huge commotion." Rasputin said in amazement: "Brother, are we joining the fight?"

This battle was quite intense.

"Of course we have to, otherwise, we can't escape." Ye Feng took out his weapon, the demon beasts had not noticed them yet, there was still time for them to chit-chat.

They were still some distance away from the battlefield.

"Furthermore, killing them benefits us as well." Ye Feng looked at the demon beasts and said with a smile: "Be it the materials on their bodies or the demon cores in their brain, they are very useful to us."

The demon cores could be used when forging equipment, some were even able to give certain equipment special abilities.

"Alright, let's go... Don't get too far away from me, we should look out for each other."

The two stopped wasting time as they quickly charged into battle.

...

"Oh? This is a fire essence beast?" Ye Feng who had just dug out a demon core noticed a demon beast that was covered in red flame.

Although this demon beast was small, it was not weak at all. It was among the strongest ones of its level.

Although it could only attack using simple fire elements, its fire was much denser than the rest. That was to say, if both sides had equal strength, not only would its fire be hard to extinguish, it could even suppress the fire of others.

If Ye Feng was able to unleash fireballs made with such fire elements, his combat strength would rise sharply.

It was a pity that this was unlikely.

However, if he were to add the fire essence beast's demon core into the forging process, he could potentially give a weapon the ability of this fire essence beast.

That was the say, its demon core could forge a weapon with the strongest fire attribute among all weapons of the same grade.

"You are mine!"

Ye Feng looked at Rasputin who was nearby and touched Weakling who was inside his pocket before rushing towards the fire essence beast.

Since his fire was weaker than the opponent, he would not use fire this time.

After dodging the flame that the fire essence beast spit out, the Wind Spirit Demon Sword slashed as several wind blades shot towards it.

This could not hurt the fire essence beast of course, but Ye Feng's goal was to get closer to it.

The fire essence beast was like a human Magician but with stronger physique and without the need to chant incantations.

Of course, it had its own flaws, it lacked the variety of spells like Magicians and its intelligence was also low.

But this was not a problem for Ye Feng, after all, he surpassed this fire essence beast in all aspects, he got closer only to end this fight more quickly.

"Traction of the wind!" Ye Feng unleashed his spell again, preventing the fire essence beast from escaping.

In this chaotic battle, Ye Feng did not intend to use too many spells, just two were enough.

After all, he could pretend that his spells were cast through the Wind Spirit Demon Sword.

As long as he did not use spells too frequently, most people would not be able to tell that he was a multi-element Magician.

The fact that he did not need incantations was his best concealment.

After all, spells cast through equipment did not need incantation most of the time.

His only worry was that during the battle earlier, he used two fire spells and two earth spells, others might have gotten suspicious.

"Nobody should have noticed it at that time..." Ye Feng ignored these random thoughts as he quickly killed the fire essence beast.

Although the fire essence beast was capable of fighting in close range, that was only against normal Magicians. How could it match Ye Feng?

"Roar!"

Before Ye Feng dug out the demon core, a loud roar could be heard near him at the side.

A huge purple beast emerged from the forest, with just the roar alone, Ye Feng understood its strength.

Among all the demon beasts that Ye Feng knew, other than the giant dragon, none could match this one.

But currently, it was not in a good condition. Its blue eyes were bloodshot, the beautiful hair on its body was also in knots due to dried blood.

Honestly speaking, if this demon beast was in its peak condition, Ye Feng would immediately run away. But now, he was only staying alert against it.

"Brother, doesn't this beast look like Weakling?" Rasputin arrived behind him.

The roar earlier was too threatening, Rasputin immediately came to find Ye Feng after hearing it.

"Indeed..." Ye Feng could see the similarities as well, he rubbed Weakling's head as he pondered.

This demon beast did not seem to be in the right state of mind, it only stared at them without making any movement.

"Grr..." Weakling seemed to have sensed the tense atmosphere as it moved its head out to take a look.

"Is this your mother?" Ye Feng asked Weakling as he looked down.

Before Weakling reacted, the huge demon beast went into a frenzy first, it charged towards Ye Feng after seeing Weakling.

In just a moment, it arrived before them.

"Dodge!"

Ye Feng and Rasputin dodged in two directions, while the former turned around and threw two fireballs.

"Roar!"

This demon beast saw that its attack failed as lightning suddenly sparked on its body, at the next moment, the surroundings turned into a lightning plasma field.

Ye Feng and Rasputin were both hit by lightning, but because the latter was quite far away, he quickly escaped from the range of the attack. As for Ye Feng, he was not so lucky and had to bear the brunt of the attack.

Even if it was heavily injured, the demon beast was still too strong!

The lightning did not affect the demon beast at all, after turning around, it pounced towards Ye Feng.

"Don't even think about it!" Rasputin jumped towards the beast and punched with all his strength.

At the same time, he slashed his sword upwards and left a mark on the demon beast's stomach.

In just a short time, Ye Feng recovered and charged towards the demon beast.

Waving his sword, he clashed with the demon beast's claw.

At the same time, Rasputin took a few steps back. He believed that Ye Feng had sufficient strength to deal with this, he only needed to help out at the side.

He could not afford to take a hit from this demon beast.

"Huff... huff..." Ye Feng supported himself with the Wind Spirit Demon Sword as he breathed roughly in a half-kneeling position, in front of him was the demon beast that sprawled on the ground weakly.

Right now, the demon beast was already covered in injuries, it was hanging onto its last breath.

Honestly speaking, Ye Feng had not thought of attacking it, there was a possibility that it was related to Weakling after all.

Furthermore, this demon beast was very strong, Ye Feng and Rasputin would not want to provoke a demon beast of such a level.

At this moment, the demon beast raised its head with difficulty, the insanity in its eyes was gone, its blue crystal-like eyes exerted all of its effort to look into Ye Feng's pocket.

After noticing that, Ye Feng took out Weakling after a momentary hesitation, it seemed like Weakling was really related to this demon beast.

Weakling was initially quite confused, but it soon had a sensation as it turned to look at the demon beast.

Possibly because it felt close to the demon beast, Weakling moved towards it without hesitation.

Ye Feng saw that the demon beast's gaze became more gentle now, it was fixed onto Weakling.

"Looks like it is Weakling's family member... this should be its mother." Although Rasputin did not fight head-on earlier, he had expended a lot of energy as well. After seeing this scene, he smiled relaxedly.

After Weakling moved over, the demon beast lowered its head and touched Weakling's head softly.

Weakling was very cooperative as it stopped moving, they seemed to be conversing.

After a while, a pale blue light spread out from the demon beast's body and gathered in Weakling.

"This looks somewhat familiar." Rasputin rubbed his chin as he thought.

"Of course it is familiar, didn't I experience this earlier?" Ye Feng rolled his eyes and said snappily: "But this is clearly different. Look at how comfortable Weakling looks, it is not feeling any of the pain that I experienced."

"That's natural, this is its mother after all, how can she let her child feel pain? In the eyes of that dragon, you are an outsider, it only chose you after it was left with no choice." Rasputin chuckled as he said: "Weakling has just been born, so its body cannot endure too much energy flowing in it. Thus, its mother has to use a gentler method."

"Forget it, the dragon did not choose you anyway." Ye Feng said as he turned serious: "The demon beast is already dead, let's bring Weakling along and leave now."

Ye Feng carried the unconscious Weakling as he said softly: "How much combat strength will you gain after waking up? Not bad, this is quite impressive."

Rasputin took the demon core out, no matter what, he could not leave this valuable item behind for others to take.

The battlefield had already calmed down, although there were still some small scuffles, most of the people had a certain chemistry. They did not interfere with each other's opponents unless they were near death, otherwise, that was the same as stealing one's prey.

But there were those who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

For example, a Magician targeted Ye Feng's group.

This was a Five Star Magician, he was not weak. But having seen Ye Feng's battle earlier, he knew that he was not their match.

Earlier, Ye Feng cast two spells instantly in battle, in the eyes of others, he was just a Knight with a powerful spell casting equipment.

But now, Ye Feng's group sustained heavy injuries, their combat strength had dwindled. Meanwhile, the magician had been holding back earlier, he was in peak condition.

But to stay safe, he did not attack immediately.

"Hey, the useless trash over there, how did you spend so much effort against a mere beast? Just look at yourselves." The Magician stood in front of Ye Feng and Rasputin as he provoked openly.

"What are you trying to say?" Ye Feng pulled back Rasputin and said coldly: "Do you want a fight? Otherwise, get lost."

"No, I'm just here to console you, in fact, you guys should be thanking me." The Magician took two steps forward and waved his magic staff around, smiling with a sinister expression: "Look at how pathetic you look, do you need my help?"

"Seriously, you are too useless, why are you so worthless?"

He was not mocking them, he was openly provoking them.

Of course, that was his objective.

Seeing that they were looking at him coldly, the Magician's smile did not change, he continued to provoke them in an irritating manner.

"I know you are angry and indignant, but do you have the strength to fight me? What's the point of staring at me, can you stare me to death?"

"You guessed right, I can stare you to death indeed."

Ye Feng suddenly snickered as several earth spikes appeared below the Magician's feet.

But the Magician was quite vigilant, after sensing traces of magic, he immediately dodged.

But Rasputin, who had good cooperation with Ye Feng, immediately went forward. Since the Magician was provoking them, they could not let him control the flow of the situation.

Since they were going to fight anyway, the earlier they attacked, the better the effect would be.

But Rasputin was not in a good condition, he was slightly slow. By the time he reached the Magician, the latter had already completed the incantation of a high tier magic.

"Blizzard!"

Under his intentional control, the blizzard was quite powerful. At this moment, even Ye Feng and Rasputin felt difficulty in moving, their current stamina was not enough to overcome this spell.

"Ice spike!"

Using the opportunity, the Magician got away from Rasputin and approached Ye Feng, using an offensive spell at the same time.

Ye Feng noticed his attack too but he had no time to retaliate, he could only roll away to dodge the attack.

When in battle, target the weakling. Right now, Ye Feng was that weakling.

Seeing that Ye Feng dodged the attack, the Magician was not dejected, he continued to unleash low tier magic spells, with his strength, he could use them without incantation.

Ye Feng had difficulty in dodging now, clearly, quantity was more important than quality.

As Ye Feng could not dodge so many attacks, wounds gradually accumulated on his body.

But possibly due to the lowered temperature of the area, while Ye Feng was dodging, Weakling woke up and jumped out.

Its body did not grow larger but there were several sparks of lightning coiling around its body.

"Roar!"

This voice was quite similar to the roar that its mother emitted, with a flash of lightning on its body, lightning bolts shot towards the Magician.

This spell was not weaker than the one Ye Feng used.

"A chance!"

Without any reminder, Rasputin sprinted towards the Magician at full speed while Ye Feng also used his restraining magic.

However, the lightning was stronger than they thought, or possibly, the Magician was too weak physically. By the time Rasputin arrived, the Magician had already fallen to the ground.

Chapter 187: Leaving

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In fact, his body was emitting smoking, as Rasputin was the closest person to him, he could smell it from this close distance.

The fragrance of cooked meat...

Rasputin could not help but gulp.

He quickly shook his head, ignoring the emerging thought as he looked at Ye Feng, or rather, Weakling.

He gave a thumbs up: "Weakling is really amazing now!"

Earlier, he could clearly see who had unleashed the spell, it was simply a copy of the one the demon beast used earlier, albeit weaker. But since Weakling was a newborn, it was already quite impressive.

Weakling walked towards the corpse with an imposing aura, seemingly wanting to see the state of its victim.

"It will be very useful to us in the future." Ye Feng rejected Rasputin's attempt to help him up. His injuries were quite severe, it was quite difficult to move around. The better idea was to stay and rest here to recover slightly first.

"Actually, we should have known this earlier. Although it is an egg, it must not be normal to have hatched such a large beast."

Rasputin helped Ye Feng to sit on the ground as he sat down and laughed while saying: "So even though it was very cute and defenseless when it was born, we should not have underestimated it."

"Indeed, I had underestimated it then." Ye Feng admitted this openly before looking at Weakling: "When I first saw it, although I thought that it had some potential, I did not think much of it. Who could have expected it to grow this much?"

"Actually, even if we want to nurture it, it will take a long time." Rasputin thought and said: "It was because we met its mother that it grew so quickly in such a short time."

"The price was its mother's life..." Ye Feng sighed softly.

"Don't say it like that." Rasputin shook his head as he said while smiling: "This demon beast was already heavily injured when it met us. Think about it, since it was going to die anyway, by passing all its strength to its child before dying, wouldn't it feel happier?"

In this chaotic place, with that demon beast's condition, even though it was strong, it would still have died from a barrage of attacks. It should have felt fortunate to have met them before dying.

This was a good outcome for Ye Feng's group as well.

Although they suffered injuries, their foundation was untouched, these normal injuries could heal quickly and would not cause them additional losses.

Their gains were huge in comparison, other than the treasures and demon cores, their greatest gain was Weakling.

It was at least as strong as Rasputin, and they did not know if it had any additional special abilities, a demon beast of such a level should not have just one lightning ability.

Ye Feng wanted to ask but he saw Weakling returning and stopped speaking.

Weakling's intelligence was not low now, it could understand their words. It was possible for it to speak in the future after it grew more, at the very least, he knew the dragon could speak.

It was just too young now.

Rasputin also saw Weakling as it returned, he quickly went to hug it as he laughed and said: "Weakling, you did an amazing job!"

Saying so, he tossed Weakling up to the air in celebration.

Weakling and Rasputin had a rather good relationship, it did not resist but only growled in enjoyment.

"You are having a fun time playing." Ye Feng said slowly, his tone was slightly sour: "I am injured and unable to move, I can only watch you guys play."

Rasputin's injuries were not as severe, he was basically waiting for Ye Feng's recovery.

If they left now, it would not be beneficial to his recovery, it was also not safe.

Rasputin heard this as he smiled awkward and placed Weakling down, he looked around and said: "Brother, let's stay here and recover first. Nobody is near us now so we should be safe, in any case, we have Weakling here to protect us."

The two of them had already used up their medicine, all he could do now was to wait for his natural recovery.

After Weakling was placed on the ground, it looked at Ye Feng with a smug gaze and slowly walked to him.

In just a short time, Weakling seemed to have grown up, although its appearance remained the same, it seemed to be several years old mentally.

It was not as clingy as when it was born.

After looking at Ye Feng for some time, Weakling started to gather some energy under the surprised expression of the two.

It was not producing lightning now, instead, countless jade specks of light gathered around Ye Feng mostly, with some going to Rasputin.

As the jade green light flowed into them, Ye Feng felt that his energy was rapidly recovering and his wounds were also healing quicker. In just a short while, he felt that he had recovered to his usual condition.

Although he was not in his best condition, fighting was no longer an issue.

"Weakling, you are simply awesome!" Ye Feng stood up and hugged Weakling.

Currently, Weakling seemed slightly weakened, it seemed that using this ability was quite taxing on it.

But that was still very amazing!

Even if Weakling had no combat strength, just this recovery ability was enough to think highly of it. Ye Feng did not need additional combat strength now, but the recovery aspect was different, such skills were always welcomed.

Weakling did not stop Ye Feng from hugging it, but in the process, it turned its head away proudly, not looking at him.

"Haha." Ye Feng laughed with a slight embarrassment, he said: "If such a situation occurs again, I'll count on you!"

Rasputin also sighed as he said: "Weakling's ability is too amazing, thanks to it, we can leave this place now."

This was not a safe place, the longer they stayed here, the more likely an accident would occur.

"Yeah." Ye Feng held up Weakling and looked at the surroundings: "Let's leave now, we have already gotten a lot of gains."

...

For the following journey, they did not encounter any accidents, they successfully left and reached a town.

This was a mercenary town, it was full of stalls, taverns, and inns.

Although it seemed like there was no governor here, everyone had a certain level of chemistry as they did transactions. No matter what, they would not cause a fight here.

Ye Feng and Rasputin also set up their own stall, with Ye Feng's appraisal ability, they could easily pick out items and materials that they did not need.

It was a waste to keep them, the best way was to sell these things here.

Chapter 188: Causing Trouble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The people here did not lack money, those who went on adventures and survived were usually quite rich.

Or rather, they owned valuable treasures.

After all, the greater the risk that they took, the greater the rewards they gained.

But even if they were rich, they would not buy useless things. Thus, the things that Ye Feng sold the most were medicine or healing related items, rather than materials.

After all, every adventurer had a need for such useful items.

—Unless they were trying to buy a hidden treasure cheaply.

But with Ye Feng here, who could do that at his stall?

The two of them did not spend a long time here, after selling most of the items, they found an inn to stay in. At the same time, Ye Feng also found a place to forge, he decided to make some equipment for the time being.

Clank clank clank—

Ye Feng had a bare upper body as he waved his hammer and forged.

During this period of time, he had not done any forging, although it did not affect his forging ability, he had still gotten a little rusty.

This was true for anything, learning was slow but it was fast to forget things.

As a Blacksmith, if he did not forge for a long time, his skills would naturally become dull.

But only a short time had passed, Ye Feng's skills had not worsened yet.

Because there was limited space, Rasputin and Weakling were not too far away from him. The former seemed to be researching his secret skill or offensive skill, while the latter was running around, alternating between looking at Ye Feng and Rasputin.

"I'm almost done." Ye Feng let out a sigh, he smiled as he prepared the finishing touches.

There was another reason why he was forging, after getting a large number of materials, it was a waste to not use them.

When Ye Feng was about to complete this forging attempt, Weakling suddenly came to his forging station.

"Don't come so close, you'll get hurt!"

Ye Feng noticed it, but at this crucial timing, he could only warn it verbally.

He was not afraid that Weakling would cause trouble, on one hand, it was very mature and would not act childishly. On the other hand, Weakling's safety was more important than this stage six weapon.

Weakling ignored Ye Feng's warning, it stared at the weapon on the forging station as it showed a gaze of deep thought before growling.

"Roar~"

A wave of lightning bolt that had a peculiar color hit the weapon.

Ye Feng saw that Weakling was 'causing trouble', at first, he felt confused and slightly angry, but soon, his emotions turned to surprise and joy.

This forging attempt did not fail, instead, that energy seemed to have fused into the weapon. Although he did not know the outcome yet, it was obvious that the weapon was stronger than before!

"Weakling, how many abilities do you have!" Ye Feng could not help but praise.

Weakling raised its head and looked at Ye Feng before turning around and going to Rasputin.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a peak stage six weapon, Demonic Lightning Halberd, you have obtained 4000 fire elemental points, 11000 lightning elemental points, and 6000 earth elemental points."

After hearing the system notification, Ye Feng could feel nothing but joy.

Peak stage six!

Although he was confident in himself, he was clear that his skills had not reached such a level. Under normal situations, he could not forge a stage six weapon even if he tried.

[Demonic Lightning Halberd]

Grade: Peak Stage Six

Special Trait: A heavy weapon that was elevated by energy and contains demonic lightning. When it attacks, the numbing and destructive properties of the demonic lightning will be triggered. When held and used, the requirement for the user's strength will be lowered but the force of the attack will remain the same.

Ye Feng swung this halberd around and found that it was very light, there was even a faint trace of lightning in the air, it was of a deeper color than Weakling's lightning.

Although it was light in his hands, when it slammed on the ground, he could feel a clear tremor.

However, although it was light, an average Magician could not use it, the strength of an Advanced Knight was needed at least.

"Brother, this equipment seems amazing." Rasputin was alerted by the commotion, he asked curiously: "What grade is this weapon?"

"Peak stage six." Ye Feng smiled and said: "Do you want to use this weapon?"

Rasputin's eyes first lit up before he rejected.

"No, forget it, I am not used to this type of weapon. Brother, you are capable of forging peak stage six weapons?"

Not mentioning peak stage six, even if he was just a normal stage six Blacksmith, countless forces would want to recruit him.

"No, I'm not good enough yet." Ye Feng shook his head as he looked at Weakling: "I am only able to make stage six superior-grade weapons at best, this is all thanks to Weakling."

"It has the ability to raise the quality of an equipment when it is being forged!"

Undeniably, Weakling was their greatest gain from the Demonic Dragon Island!

Ye Feng hugged Weakling happily as he said with a smile: "Let's go and celebrate."

As they had just ended their adventure, they needed to rest and relax now. Ye Feng and Rasputin quickly found a place to eat.

The two of them had a large appetite, as Knights who had to expend stamina in battle, they needed ample nourishment.

But while the two humans and one beast ate happily, several uninvited guests barged in.

"Kid, hurry up and scram, this is our seat now."

Three muscular men came to their table and said fiercely, their tone was overbearing.

There was no empty table now, while Ye Feng's group looked young and weak, they were obviously targeted first.

"Since we paid for it, we are allowed to eat here." Ye Feng petted the angry Weakling as he said with logic: "Are you the boss of this shop? Who are you to tell us to scram?"

Rasputin saw that Ye Feng had his plan and did not speak.

Slam!

One of the muscular men slammed the table as the plates flew into the air, some food was wasted as a result.

"Kid, you should wise up!" He moved closer to Ye Feng and said viciously: "I'll advise you to leave now, otherwise, I'm not sure what will happen to you later."

"Why should I listen to you?" Ye Feng said plainly with a smile on his face: "Trash like you want us to give up our table?"

"Kid, you have a death wish!"

The three of them acted immediately, one tried to grab Rasputin while the other two attacked Ye Feng.

But at the next moment, their expressions froze on their face.

A trace of lightning from Ye Feng's fingertips nearly turned the two into charcoal.

Meanwhile, a sword appeared in Rasputin's hand suddenly as a trace of blood appeared on the neck of the person who attacked him.

These three were just Bronze Knights, even Rasputin could take on all three at once.

Chapter 189: Dragon Tiger Town, Tyrant

Ye Feng retracted the lightning on his fingertips, this was a new way that he had discovered recently to use the lightning element. By gathering the lightning in his fingertips, the commotion was small but the effect was much stronger.

The only downside was that it could only be used at close range, it was most suitable for this situation.

"I am really sorry for affecting your appetite." Ye Feng wiped his mouth and stood up to apologize to the guests.

Killing people in public was not a good thing, especially when everyone was eating here.

"Little brother, don't worry about it." Someone smiled and said: "Everyone here has killed before, this is only a small matter. All you need to do is to deal with the corpses yourselves."

"They are the ones who provoked you, it is normal to retaliate."

He was speaking the truth, most of the people here were used to such scenes. Those who dared to go on adventures, other than newbies, had such a similar experience in one way or another.

Furthermore, Ye Feng did not make it too bloody, at least, the place was not splattered with blood.

Since they were able to easily kill three Bronze Knights instantly, and he was even a Magician, without any form of personal grudge, nobody would want to offend them.

Making a friend was better than making an enemy.

Ye Feng's group was almost done eating, soon, they cleared away the three corpses and left.

After a simple celebration, they returned to their usual lives of training and forging.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the peak stage six weapon, Heavy Earth Greatsword, you have obtained 15000 earth elemental points, and 4000 fire elemental points."

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the peak stage five weapon, Fire Marked Spear, you have obtained 11000 fire elemental points, and 2000 earth elemental points."

During this period of time, Ye Feng did not stop forging, he made over twenty weapons in one go.

Among them, twenty were stage five weapons while five were stage six.

These were all at the peak of their respective stages.

"Let's go earn some money." Ye Feng smiled as he said.

He had already given Rasputin a peak stage six weapon.

In the morning, the two of them went out to sell equipment.

Although it was a small stall, once someone noticed Ye Feng's equipment, it quickly got crowded.

There were no stage six weapons sold in this town, not to mention a peak stage six weapon. Although it was a small stall, after getting crowded, it felt like an auction.

All sorts of bidding could be heard, even the stage five weapons were very popular among them.

Most of the time was wasted on bidding, if he set a fixed price from the start, he would have sold everything in less than an hour.

"To think that we will return so quickly." Rasputin looked at Ye Feng who had started forging again, he smiled and said: "I thought that we would spend half a day there."

Ye Feng continued forging uninterrupted as he replied: "You must believe in my skills, how can the weapons that I forge be hard to sell?"

These were peak stage six weapons, not just this place, even if they were in the Capital City, many people would come here to buy them.

After all, most people had never even heard or seen a stage seven weapon in their lives.

"Hahaha, that is true." Rasputin laughed heartily: "In that case, brother, I'll leave first."

He was not staying with Ye Feng now. At first, they could not find another place so they stayed together, but that caused some disturbance to their respective training. Now, they could forge and train at their respective homes, it was much more efficient.

As he continued to forge, time passed gradually.

Even at night, Ye Feng had not stopped forging, but suddenly, his actions slowed down for a moment before he returned to his normal speed.

As a Magician, his senses informed him that someone was creeping closer to him, he was getting increasingly near, if not for the difference in their strength, he would not have found out.

'Someone wants to assassinate me again?'

Ye Feng sighed helplessly, in just such a short period of time, he had already gone through countless assassination attempts.

With his level of alertness now, Ye Feng would not fall prey to the assassination, but raised his hammer and slammed at the attacker instead.

Bam!

The forging hammer and sword collided, Ye Feng remained on the spot while the assassin was forced back by a few steps.

There were not many people who could face Ye Feng directly when he was prepared.

Although Ye Feng forced the assassin back, he did not stop moving, he threw the hammer at the enemy while charging forward unarmed.

The assassin had just blocked the hammer when Ye Feng arrived before him. Seeing this, the assassin had a ruthless gaze as he stabbed the sword at Ye Feng's chest.

The assassin had gotten quite agitated, he attacked without caring about the difference in their strength.

Ye Feng snorted coldly, he moved his right hand without slowing down, slamming at the assassin's chest before quickly subduing him with his whole body.

Since the assassin was bent on killing him, Ye Feng was not going to treat him nicely.

"Speak, who sent you here?" Ye Feng said coldly: "Aren't there no grudges between us?"

"There aren't." Even in this situation, the assassin was not afraid, he said fearlessly: "I am the subordinate of Lord Bright from Dragon Tiger Town, he heard that you were a stage six Blacksmith and wanted me to probe you. If you dare to kill me, Lord Bright will not let you off."

Seeing his proud tone that had no fear of being a captive, if one was just listening to them, they would think that Ye Feng was the person captured instead.

"Heh... you already attacked me, but I am not allowed to retaliate?" Ye Feng scoffed without any trace of a smile on his face: "I'll remind you something, do you think you are more important than a stage six Blacksmith?"

Saying so, he killed the assassin who showed a shocked expression.

He dared to act so arrogantly in front of Ye Feng, so he would definitely not be spared.

But Ye Feng did not think that he would reveal the truth so easily, so there was no need to interrogate him at all. Was it because he was too full of himself?

Ye Feng had heard of this person called Bright before. He was a famous tyrant of the nearby Dragon Tiger Town, although he was quite strong, he did not leave but stayed in the town as a local tyrant.

Ye Feng was a little curious about what Bright wanted with him.

So the next day, he set off to Dragon Tiger Town with Rasputin.

"Brother, Bright is quite strong, you need to be careful." Rasputin went around to scout for information regarding Bright in Dragon Tiger Town and had some findings.

But he was confident in Ye Feng, so he did not stop the latter and only reminded him.

Because Bright was very famous in Dragon Tiger Town, Ye Feng and Rasputin soon found his place of residence, they found an inn nearby and stayed there.

They were not going to approach him so openly, Ye Feng intended to sneak into Bright's home at night to see if he could find any useful information first.

"Brother, you must be careful." Rasputin carried Weakling in his hands and reminded: "Your safety is the priority."

Naturally, Ye Feng would not bring Weakling along, this infiltration attempt would be more successful if he was alone.

"Don't worry." After changing his clothes, Ye Feng replied: "Don't you know about my strength? Unless they have already laid a trap, nothing will happen to me."

"Even if they have a trap, they need enough experts to deal with me. It is easy to defeat me but they can't stop me from escaping, they need at least a few Brights to do so. Even in the entire Dragon Tiger Town, they can't find so many experts."

He had encountered many traps in his life, back then, he was not as strong as now. Dragon Tiger Town was just a town, it was too small and could not have too many experts.

Bright was someone who would stand out even in a large city, but he was willing to be a tyrant in this tiny place, it was really hard to understand why he would do this.

After saying that, Ye Feng adjusted his clothes for the last time before saying: "Don't worry, wait for my return."

After that, he left the inn.

Ye Feng was not confident in this infiltration attempt, he was not an expert in this field after all. But if his information source was not wrong, Bright was about as strong as him as a Knight.

Although in general, Magicians were more keen in their perception, that was only for the lower levels, their perception was also more towards magic perception.

Which experienced Knight would not have keen senses? Their intuition was often very accurate.

Ye Feng's prediction came true in the end, once he got close to Bright's room, he heard a loud voice: "Who?!"

Once he said that, the room door was forced open as a muscular figure charged out.

But Ye Feng had disguised himself well, Bright did not recognize him.

Of course, it was possible that he did not know Ye Feng's appearance. After all, they had never met.

Although Bright did not recognize him, he still attacked immediately. He flew forward like a cannonball, punching heavily while saying coldly: "No matter who you are, you must be prepared for death if you want to spy on me!"

Ye Feng did not have any weapon on him, he could only raise both hands to block this punch.

Bam!

Using the force of this impact, Ye Feng took several steps back. In terms of pure physical strength, Bright was stronger than him.

After all, most of Ye Feng's strength was obtained through forging. He was not like Bright who trained his own body, of course, Ye Feng was only weaker in physical strength, this was not the only way to measure his strength.

Without using magic, Ye Feng and Bright were evenly matched.

"Oh? You are not weak, but you do not seem like an assassin." Bright gave Ye Feng a glance and said confidently: "Forget it, I'll know everything after I subdue you."

Ye Feng did not reply, he quickly turned around to try and leave. He was here to get information, not to have a fight. Since he was exposed, it would be best to leave now.

After all, accidents could happen if he waited.

"You want to run?" Bright did not intend to let Ye Feng off, he instantly burst out with speed and caught up.

In just an instant, he arrived behind Ye Feng by using a specialized offensive skill.

Ye Feng could sense him naturally, he quickly turned around and stabbed with a dagger that appeared out of thin air.

Bright was shocked as he subconsciously dodged, but Ye Feng did not let him off. He followed up with a kick, after a few moves, he actually managed to suppress Bright temporarily.

Because he was wary of Ye Feng's weapon, Bright was acting quite restrained.

But how could an experienced warrior like him allow such an outcome?

"Steel transformation!"

Bright shouted as his arms shone in a metallic luster, he directly went against Ye Feng's dagger with his bare hands.

Ye Feng's dagger was not so easy to block, even though it was just a stage five dagger, the physical body could not repel it.

But the offensive skill still had some effect, after turning into steel, his arms blocked the dagger for a moment. Using this chance, Bright slashed towards Ye Feng's arm with his hand, trying to disarm him.

At the same time, Bright's other hand endured the pain and grabbed Ye Feng's other arm.

This was a swift series of actions, Ye Feng could not react in time before Bright threw him to the ground.

Right when Bright was about to continue his attack, Ye Feng's dagger drew an arc in the air as an earth wall appeared in front of him. Bright was caught unguarded and crashed into it.

Ye Feng quickly got up and escaped using the cover of the surrounding buildings.

He specially chose this dagger that contained a spell to prevent Bright from recognizing him as a Magician.

It was best to leave as little evidence as possible.

"How is the situation?" Rasputin was waiting for Ye Feng to return, if he was successful, he would not take too long.

"He noticed me." Ye Feng frowned as he said helplessly: "We even fought, he is quite strong indeed."

Rasputin let out a sigh of relief and asked in concern: "Did you get injured?"

Since Ye Feng said the opponent was not weak, he was definitely not easy to deal with.

Ye Feng stretched his body as he smiled and replied: "No, he is only about as strong as me without using magic, or just slightly stronger than me when we are unarmed."

His words were quite clear, if he used magic, Bright was not his match. His weapon was also superior to Bright, so if they fought while holding weapons, they would be evenly matched.

"Then that is fine." Rasputin was no longer worried, he joked: "Then it seems I should be the one to be careful, it will be troublesome if he targets me instead."

Although he was using a joking tone, Rasputin was serious about what he said.

He wanted to stay with Ye Feng for the rest of their time in Dragon Tiger Town to prevent any problems from occurring.

"That is true, in the past, some enemies had used my disciple and wife to threaten me, I hope something like that never happens again." Ye Feng said solemnly: "Since we are here in Dragon Tiger Town, we should do something memorable. Using brute force to subdue them is quite boring."

"Then, should we focus on blacksmithing?" Rasputin understood what Ye Feng was intending to do, he asked with a smile.

"That is right, I want to make fifty to sixty stage five equipment and also a few stage six equipment to send the town into an uproar. This Dragon Tiger Town is not as rich as the adventurer town earlier, they can't afford to buy too many stage six equipment."

Ye Feng squinted as he said in a confident tone.

Chapter 191: Troublemakers

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

For the current Ye Feng, the failure rate of forging stage five weapons was basically zero, it was just that making them used up considerable time.

As for stage six weapons, even though they took even longer to make, the success rate was also very high.

With Weakling here, the quality of his forged equipment was raised alongside the success rate.

In the end, he forged fifty stage five equipment of varying grades, as well as two stage six equipment meant as the final climax items.

He did not know if Dragon Tiger Town had any stage six equipment, but two should be enough for now.

Even if they were insufficient, he had more in his storage.

Ye Feng wanted to settle this quickly.

On the second day, he brought these weapons along and set up a stall.

This place was not like the adventurer's town earlier which had few permanent residents, there were not many people who would sell equipment here at a stall.

After Ye Feng's stall was set up, curious people came to take a look.

"What stage is this weapon?" This person did not seem to be a Knight or Blacksmith, he did not know much about weapons.

He was likely here to just take a look.

"Peak stage five weapon." Ye Feng said in a lazy tone: "It is up to you if you want to believe it, but you can test it if you want to."

He replied before the questions even came to him.

"Oh... okay, I'll find someone to test it." After hearing Ye Feng's answer, the person did not mock or provoke him, he left after putting down the weapon.

After all, he was not an expert at this. Since the seller was so confident, he did not want to offend him. What if he was telling the truth?

In just a while, he brought someone to the stall, the person took a look at the weapon and said solemnly: "It is a stage five weapon indeed, I'll buy it."

Clearly, he could tell the quality of the weapon, and knew that it was stronger than most weapons of the same grade.

Ye Feng nodded as he pointed to the other weapons at the stall, saying: "You can look at the others too, there are better quality ones."

This person had held up a stage five inferior-grade weapon earlier, it was one of the poorer quality ones that was being sold. Of course, since Ye Feng was the Blacksmith, it was still better than most weapons made by others.

After feeling a little stunned, the person held up other weapons and tested them, his expression became more excited and heated.

"These... are these all stage five weapons?"

"Yes, they range from stage five inferior-grade to peak stage five."

"Then... I'll buy this one." The person chose a stage five superior-grade spear in the end, he left in satisfaction.

Ye Feng was selling them at a reasonable price, normally speaking, people who were strong enough to use such weapons were wealthy enough to buy them.

While this person made his purchase, many people started to gather around. Even in the entire Dragon Tiger Town, there were not as many stage five weapons as the ones Ye Feng displayed!

Ye Feng saw that there was a crowd gathering as he took out his two trump cards.

"I have two stage six weapons, it will go to the highest bidder!"

Once he said that, the entire scene went into a commotion. Although many people had no plans on buying them, the appearance of stage six weapons still sent them into a state of exhilaration and excitement.

The bidding for the stage six weapons started. During this time, the stage five weapons were also being sold at a rapid rate, Ye Feng was basically surrounded in all directions.

But good times did not last, soon, troublemakers came.

"All of you, scram, don't block my path!"

"I am sent by Lord Bright, hurry up and move aside!"

The two of them forced their way through the crowd.

Although there were many people around, they controlled themselves and did not resort to force. But these two were different, when there was an obstruction in front of them, they would use force directly.

"Damn, there are so many people here, I am dying of exhaustion."

These two were quite young, they seemed like they were about twenty years old. Although they were not strong, the surrounding people seemed fearful of them.

Or rather, they did not dare to provoke these two.

"So you are Ye Feng?" One of them asked in an arrogant tone.

He had an arrogant expression and his facial features were ugly, it was certain that people would want to bash up that face of his. But before knowing his intention for coming here, Ye Feng could not chase him away yet.

"What do you want?" Ye Feng frowned as he said plainly: "If there's nothing, don't interrupt my business, if you are not buying anything, don't cause trouble."

Once these two arrived, the people near the stall stopped talking. This had severely affected his business.

"We are sent by Lord Bright." The other person seemed more reliable, but he still spoke in an arrogant tone: "Lord Bright has taken an interest in your forging skills. Contribute all of these stage five and six weapons to him and stay in Dragon Tiger Town for the rest of your life to forge for our leader."

"Indeed, if you are lucky, our leader may even give you the title of the number one Blacksmith in Dragon Tiger Town."

Their words were quite clear, they wanted Ye Feng to submit to Bright and stay in Dragon Tiger Town to serve him forever.

This was not considered slavery, but it was about the same. Most importantly, his freedom would be restricted.

Bright would not refuse to give him remuneration, but it was likely that the amount would only be enough for his daily needs.

Of course, even if the remuneration was high, Ye Feng would not agree to this. Selling things yourself and working for someone else were two different concepts.

Ye Feng paused his business for a moment as he leaned forward on the table and smiled at the two of them: "Then, should I be thanking you?"

"Of course." The ugly young man chuckled: "It is your honor to be able to work for Lord Bright!"

Why did nobody speak up even when they were acting like this?

It was because they were backed by Bright, he was the overlord of Dragon Tiger Town!

"Heh, you need to be qualified first." Ye Feng scoffed in disdain: "Does he really think he is a king just because he dominated this small town?"

"Even when I am doing business, I have to get interrupted by two fools, this is really annoying."

Saying so, Ye Feng packed up his things and decided to leave with Rasputin.

But once he turned around, he felt someone pulling at his shirt.

"Do you think you can leave as you please?"

Ye Feng turned around and shrugged off the person's arm as he said coldly: "Don't do anything foolish."

Saying so, he turned around and prepared to leave.

But this time, instead of tugging, he felt the sound of the wind coming from behind him.

Ye Feng quickly turned around and grabbed the young man's wrist before twisting and pulling it, while kicking with his knee.

"Ah!"

Ye Feng ignored his anguished cries as he pulled the young man's arm again, slamming him on the ground.

The other person was also taken down by Rasputin.

Ye Feng kicked this person before squatting down and patting his face, saying lightly: "I won't kill you now. Go back and tell Bright that I am not interested in your games."

Chapter 192: Solo Duel

"This is too boring, let's go." Ye Feng shook his head and got up, leaving with Rasputin.

Nobody stopped him this time, or rather, nobody dared to make a move.

...

"Brother, they are really annoying." Rasputin hugged Weakling as he sat in a reclining chair, saying helplessly.

They had expected this to happen, since Bright sent someone to probe Ye Feng earlier, it was obviously not going to stop.

But they thought that he would come personally, they did not expect him to be so patient as to send more henchmen.

When Ye Feng fought against him the previous night, there were no injuries caused, his combat strength was unaffected.

"No matter what he wants to do, it will not affect us." Ye Feng spoke as the forging continued.

Once he returned, he had gone to forge without resting, he said: "We didn't finish selling everything, so let's continue tomorrow. As long as Bright does not come personally, we will continue our business. If he comes, we will settle this issue directly with him."

To do anything in Dragon Tiger Town, they had to get rid of the crucial person Bright first. But they were outsiders, they had no reason to attack him abruptly, even if they did, there was nothing they could gain.

Right now, they were waiting for Bright to come to them. Honestly speaking, they did not care about this place, but they did not mind getting rid of this obstacle either.

On the second day, nothing else happened as they returned to their original location to sell equipment.

This time, nobody had any doubts. After the previous day, most of the people in Dragon Tiger Town knew about them, almost everyone heard of what happened.

Thus, after they arrived, many people came to the stall again.

As the tyrant of Dragon Tiger Town, Bright was able to strike fear in everyone but he would not target the residents without reason. As there were many people here, there was no need to be afraid that he would make a move on them.

Of course, if he did, then the target was just unlucky, Bright would not attack everyone anyway.

Their sales were smoother than expected, only after they were about to finish selling everything did Bright's henchman arrive, much to their anticipation.

"I am not here for a beating!" Only one person came, it was the arrogant young man from yesterday.

After getting beaten up, he was no longer as arrogant as before, instead of wasting time, he threw a challenge to Ye Feng.

"Our leader said that he wants to have a fair fight with you. If you win, you can do anything you want in Dragon Tiger Town. If you lose, obediently become our private Blacksmith."

"Boring." Ye Feng rolled his eyes and said in disdain: "Even if I do not agree, what can he do to me?"

"Sir Ye Feng, you must agree to it!" One of the residents heard this and shouted: "If you defeat him, we will no longer be under his oppression!"

"That's right, that's right, you must accept the challenge!"

"Sir Ye Feng, you are our only hope!"

After the first person spoke, the others also realized this as they quickly added their own words.

"Oh..." Ye Feng looked around and saw the sincere expressions of the residents. Although he was unhappy, he had confidence in his own strength, thus, he quickly answered: "Sure, I'll fight him in two days."

"I need some time to make preparations."

Since the residents had made such a request, it was clear that everyone wanted him to defeat Bright.

After saying that, he packed up his things and left without caring about the rest.

Rasputin followed behind him and spoke softly after he got closer: "These people are so shameless, they know that they will benefit if you win but they don't care about the consequences you will face if you lose."

"There's no helping it, this is human nature..." Ye Feng sighed as he shook his head and said: "This is beneficial to us anyway, we can also use this to gain everyone's support."

"I'll have to raise my strength during these two days and stabilize my condition. Bright is a powerful foe to defeat, I need to train myself and try to win without using magic."

...

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the peak stage five weapon, Fire Spirit Staff, you have obtained 7000 fire elemental points, and 3000 earth elemental points."

Ye Feng felt the surging strength in his body and showed a faint smile.

After this period of forging, he was already close to breaking through. The equipment that were strengthened by Weakling gave even more system rewards than before, allowing him to get stronger at a faster rate.

"Brother, are you sure?" Rasputin asked in concern.

It was almost time for the solo duel.

"Don't worry, in the worst case, I'll use magic. How can he possibly beat me?" Ye Feng sat down and took a sip of the tea as he said plainly: "There will not be any accident."

After resting for a while, they set off to the town square.

This was also the first time that Rasputin was seeing Bright.

Undoubtedly, Bright was quite influential. Right now, he was standing in the square with a large number of henchmen around him, it was quite an imposing sight.

Standing away from them were the residents. Ye Feng was an unknown outsider, most people had no hope in him, they were just here to watch a show after hearing of Ye Feng's confidence.

"Alright, although this is our first encounter, let's not waste time." Ye Feng walked towards Bright and said plainly: "Let's get this over with."

Bright squinted, this person seemed quite familiar to him, but Ye Feng was a stage six Blacksmith, he was sure that he had never seen this person before.

But soon, he ignored these thoughts as he smiled and answered: "Alright, let's see what you're capable of as a stage six Blacksmith."

He raised the stage six blade in his hand and charged at Ye Feng.

Bam!

The blade and sword collided, both sides leaned backwards due to the impact but soon adjusted their stance and clashed again.

Although Bright's combat strength was originally higher than Ye Feng, Ye Feng could sense that Bright had gotten even stronger than their previous fight.

Of course, it was possible that this was because Bright did not have a weapon last time.

"Not bad, you are quite strong." Bright shouted as his blade slashed upwards, causing Ye Feng's arms to feel numb from the impact. Next, the blade swung again and collided with Ye Feng's sword.

"It is a pity that you are just slightly weaker than me."

"At this rate, I am not your match indeed." Ye Feng let out a sigh as he took a few steps back, the longsword in his hand was kept away in exchange for a whip.

"It seems that I need to use another method, after all, it is normal for a Blacksmith to have a stronger weapon."

Ye Feng intended to use the Lightning Whip.

Chapter 193: Rae

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Against Ye Feng who used the Lightning Whip, Bright lost without putting up any resistance.

Ye Feng had used the Lightning Whip before, he was quite familiar with the mechanics. Using the powerful suppression that the Lightning Whip had towards weapons, along with the magic that it contained, it was easy to deal with Bright.

After all, they were evenly matched in their combat strength as a Knight, the usage of a powerful secret treasure could easily turn the match in his favor.

This did not go against Ye Feng's wish to train himself. He was using a weapon after all, even when he used the Lightning Whip, he did not use his own magic, he only used the lightning spells that the Lightning Whip inherently had.

Bright did not say anything after losing the duel, so what if he was indignant?

A loss was a loss, if Ye Feng wanted to, he could take his life.

"Alright, bring me to your house." Ye Feng kept the Lightning Whip that had swung across Bright's face as he said while walking past him: "You should have a lot of good things taken from the residents."

Although he asked Bright to bring him there, he was already walking there with Rasputin.

Many residents also followed behind them, after Bright lost the fight, they no longer feared him. After all, if they worked together, Bright was not the match of the entire town.

The residents were actually intimidated by Bright's reputation, they did not have the guts to oppose him.

This was quite a normal situation, it could be seen in many places. If they really resisted, what if they failed? What if someone snitched?

Bright was like a mountain pressing down on them, but on this day, the mountain was taken down.

"Sir Ye Feng, you should stay here." Someone suddenly said: "You will receive royal treatment here, nobody will defy you. We will also do our best to buy all the equipment that you forge."

"That's right, Sir Ye Feng, we all respect you!"

"Sir Ye Feng, if you stay here, I'll give you a thirty percent discount when you come to my shop!"

"Right, right! I'll give you a forty percent discount!"

After resolving the issue of the tyrant Bright, the residents started to request for Ye Feng to stay.

Ye Feng was stronger than Bright and had a better personality, most importantly, he was a stage six Blacksmith, that was very rare.

Regardless of what aspect it was, his existence was very beneficial to the entire town.

"Stop dreaming, I'll only stay for a day or two." Ye Feng rejected them immediately, he was not here to stay permanently: "I have to go home after some time."

The residents asked again but seeing Ye Feng's firm attitude, they slowly dispersed and stopped trying to convince him.

After all, this was already a good outcome for them.

Ye Feng was not lying, he had already planned to return to the City of Chaos. But he had already sent a letter to the city earlier, he should get a reply in one or two days.

His decision would depend on the letter's content.

On the second day, the letter arrived.

"The City of Chaos is safe and sound..."

The letter with several hundred words was quickly read through, Rasputin saw that Ye Feng was done reading as he quickly asked: "Brother, how is it, are you going back?"

He was quite concerned about this, right now, wherever Ye Feng went, he wanted to follow. But rather than the City of Chaos, he would rather train outside and get stronger.

Ye Feng shook his head lightly and said: "No, the City of Chaos is doing fine, there is no need for me to return if it is developing properly."

Seeing Rasputin's happy expression, he could not help but laugh helplessly: "Let's continue northwards, who knows what we'll encounter."

...

The two of them asked around and had some findings. Along the way, they met many people, eventually, they heard some news that had yet to spread from a merchant leader.

At a place called the Endless Sea, there seemed to be news of treasures, the exact situation was unknown, but it should not be a hoax.

Ye Feng and Rasputin did not suspect the news, they did not mind going to find out personally as they did not lack time after all.

After asking for the route to the Endless Sea from the merchant group, they continued on their way.

Since there was a merchant group around, this was naturally not an isolated region, they soon found a small city.

But before they arrived at the city, the two of them heard some screaming coming from the forest outside of the city.

"What are you trying to do?"

The shrill voice of women could often be heard from afar, they looked at each other before deciding to go there.

"Lady, don't worry, we won't kill you." The screaming lady was facing four men who were not considered tall, they were all holding a blade in their hands.

"That's right, you are so beautiful, we won't want to kill you." The other person took a close look at the woman's body and his gaze stayed at a certain location for a long period, he said: "Of course, you have to hand over all the valuables that you have first."

"This is too much..." The woman knew what they were thinking, she took a few steps back slowly in fear.

Seeing this situation, Rasputin did not need to ask for Ye Feng's opinion. Back then, he was saved by Ye Feng in a similar situation, right now, he could not ignore the lady's plight.

Rasputin did not even speak, he charged forward immediately.

"Sigh..." Ye Feng stretched out his hand subconsciously before following behind helplessly as he tossed out several fireballs.

The fireballs were faster than a person's running speed, three of the four bandits were instantly burned to death by the fireballs, while the remaining one was killed by Rasputin who pierced his heart with a sword.

If they were stronger, they would not have decided to be bandits.

"Are you okay? My name is Rasputin." Rasputin took a few steps forward and helped the shocked lady to stand up.

"I am Ye Feng." Ye Feng also walked over.

"Hello, I am Emma Rae, you can call me Rae." Rae patted her well endowed chest and smiled as she said: "I owe you both my gratitude, otherwise, I would have gotten into deep trouble."

"Don't worry about it." Rasputin scratched his head as he asked sheepishly: "We are going to the Endless Sea, what about you?"

"Endless Sea?" Rae was hesitant and silent for a moment before exclaiming:" What a coincidence, I am going to the Endless Sea too!"

"Let's go together."

"Brother?" Rasputin looked at Ye Feng subconsciously, in this situation, he had to ask for Ye Feng's opinion before deciding.

"That's fine with me, we can go together." Ye Feng casted a glance at Rae before saying plainly.

Chapter 194: Father and Daughter

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Feng did not hold an opinion regarding Rae joining them on the trip, it was merely bringing an additional person along.

But he felt that Rae was suspicious, she seemed to be lying to them, most people who were going to the Endless Sea now were trying to search for treasures.

Ye Feng was not looking down on her, but Rae was just too weak, she was more like the young lady of a certain clan.

In any case, since Rae did not hold any animosity towards them, so he allowed her to tag along.

After getting into a group of three, they encountered no more accidents, they soon reached the vicinity of the Endless Sea. There was also a city here.

This city seemed to be named specifically to complement the Endless Sea.

It was called the Endless City.

Since they were quite close to the destination, the three of them decided to enter the city to rest first. After all, they had to make preparations and rest first before going on an adventure.

After they arrived at their accomodation, Ye Feng left the inn. Since this was a city, it would be a pity not to visit the Auction House.

This place was quite far away from the City of Chaos, there were surely many special materials here. The people here were also definitely richer than the residents of Dragon Tiger Town, he could sell more equipment here.

Rasputin did not waste time either, Ye Feng was in charge of gathering funds while he was in charge of getting some intel.

"Hello, I want to sell a batch of stage five equipment." Ye Feng found the employee and asked: "Where can I do the appraisal?"

"A batch?" The employee asked politely: "How many items and of what quality?"

A stage five equipment was nothing much, but Ye Feng said he was selling a batch. If that was true, it would be a huge transaction, even if they were all stage five inferior-grade equipment.

After hearing the employee's question, Ye Feng thought for a moment before deciding on how many to sell.

"Twenty, they are all stage five superior-grade and peak stage five weapons."

"May I confirm that?"

"Yes."

Since this was the Auction House, the employee was a knowledgeable person and knew what twenty stage five weapons entailed.

He tried to conceal his joy as he said to Ye Feng respectfully: "Please wait in this room, I'll get the person-in-charge to come here now."

Ye Feng followed him into a room and found a chair to sit down as he waited quietly.

"Hello, are you here to sell stage five equipment?" After a while, a middle-aged man came in with quick steps and said: "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Emma Peter, I am the person-in-charge of this Transaction House. After hearing that you are selling so many stage five equipment, I came here immediately."

It seemed that this was not simply an Auction House, auctioning was just one of the businesses that they did.

The reason why Peter stated his identity was to warn Ye Feng that he should not try to prank them.

"Take a look." Ye Feng smiled lightly, he took out the stage five weapons that he was intending to sell.

"Even the worst quality weapon is a stage five superior-grade, it is even better than most of the same grade weapons sold in the market, you can test it yourself."

Peter did not hold back, he inspected all twenty weapons personally, afterwards, his gaze towards Ye Feng changed.

He understood that a person who could forge such stage five weapons was someone who had the skills of a stage six Blacksmith at least.

"Sir Ye Feng, don't worry, leave these equipment to us, we will make sure that the price is satisfactory." Emma Peter gave an immediate answer, he hesitated for a moment but still spoke his mind: "Sir Ye Feng, do you want to collaborate with our Transaction House? You can let us auction your equipment while we provide you with benefits and profits."

This collaboration was similar to what Ye Feng did with other Auction Houses in the past, he had always been supplying them with equipment.

The current collaboration was that Ye Feng would provide them equipment in exchange for benefits and profits.

This was a mutually beneficial thing, they did not force him to forge a certain number of weapons for them.

"Let me think about it." Ye Feng thought for a while but shook his head and rejected.

He was not going to stay here for long, there was no need to restrain himself like this.

It was just too troublesome, because he was not staying for long, the profits were not going to be high either.

"Don't worry, please take your time. Trust me, I am trustworthy!" Emma Peter stood up with Ye Feng and sent him out of the Transaction House personally.

"Please choose us if you decide to collaborate!"

...

Ye Feng did not return to the inn immediately, he walked around and toured the city which had a unique view from being a seaside city.

But unexpectedly, he saw Rasputin when he reached a certain scenic location.

"Brother? Why are you here?" Rasputin was about to leave after talking to someone, he quickly noticed Ye Feng and shouted.

"I have already put the goods at the Transaction House, I am here to tour the city." Ye Feng said lightly before asking Rasputin: "What about you? Did you find out anything useful?"

"I obtained a lot of information, but there is only one important thing."

"What?"

"Rae seems to be the daughter of a higher-up of the Transaction House, the entire city was looking for her earlier and created quite a commotion."

"Rae?" Ye Feng frowned as he thought of the person in the Transaction House earlier.

"Emma Peter."

"Emma Rae."

It was too coincidental...

"Is Rae's father called Peter?" Ye Feng was speechless: "Emma Peter?"

"Right! That's him!" Rasputin quickly answered: "I'm not sure what conflict they had, but Rae ran away from home."

"Peter is in charge of the Transaction House, we talked about the transaction of equipment earlier." Ye Feng rubbed his temples and said: "Since we know what happened, let's send Rae back to her home, that is her father after all. This is fine too, if she goes with us to the Endless Sea, she might get into danger."

"That's true." Rasputin nodded and looked at Ye Feng: "Do we go now?"

"Sure, you can go and inform her, tell me when you're ready to leave."

...

"Scram! Don't bother me, I am definitely not going back!"

Some shouting noises woke Ye Feng up from his nap, he quickly went out and stopped Rasputin who was running outside as he asked: "What happened?"

Rasputin was helpless as he said in a troubled tone: "She is unwilling to go back, we had a fight. Sigh, I'll go find her first, we'll talk later."

"Alright, go!"

Ye Feng was helpless about the situation, he let go of Rasputin's sleeves immediately.

Chapter 195: Rescue

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Possibly because he was taking a nap earlier, Ye Feng became a little annoyed after learning about this. As he had nothing else to do, he went to forge instead.

Although his emotions were in the way initially, he was a stage six Blacksmith after all, he soon got rid of these negative influences as he forged attentively.

Most importantly, after he finished forging these weapons, he felt that his strength had grown.

He broke through.

It was just that he had been busy recently and forgot about this. After all, he was already close to breaking through when he was in Dragon Tiger Town, it was only natural that he succeeded now.

Ye Feng stopped after he forged for some time, he went to the Transaction House again.

"I'm looking for Emma Peter."

Ye Feng was quite lucky, this attendant was the same person as the previous time.

If it was someone else, he would have to waste time explaining his visit again. After all, Ye Feng did not have any reputation in the city, how could the employees allow a random person to meet their boss so casually?

"No problem, Sir Ye Feng, I'll inform him now."

Last time, after Ye Feng left, because he was the attendant, Emma Peter had told him about the importance of Ye Feng.

He was a stage six Blacksmith!

He was an important person no matter where he went!

"Alright, thank you." Ye Feng smiled and replied.

After breaking through, his mood had returned to normal. He believed in Rasputin's strength and abilities, he should be able to handle Rae's matter himself.

Ye Feng was brought into the room that he went to last time.

Peter came much quicker this time.

"Sir Ye Feng..." Peter walked in and looked at Ye Feng with a gaze of hope.

Logically speaking, if Ye Feng refused to collaborate with him, he would not come here to find him.

But such a short time had passed before Ye Feng came here again, it was likely that he brought good news!

"I agree to the collaboration." Ye Feng smiled and put down his teacup: "I need to mention this first. I am only here on an adventure, I won't stay for long."

In the quickest case, he would only stay for a few days.

"That is not a problem." Peter sat down as he rubbed his palms together: "Do you have any stage six weapons now?"

Even if he could not stay for long, they could still generate a huge profit!

Especially when he had stage six equipment, these merchants could use the opportunity to create a new sum of profits!

"I do." Ye Feng smiled and replied: "I have a few stage six weapons left, but the exact collaboration terms between us needs further discussion."

He was not going to tell Peter about Rae's matter now, he wanted to wait for Rasputin to find her first.

...

"Why are you back alone, where's Rae?" Ye Feng saw that Rasputin had returned on his own, he sensed something amiss.

With Rasputin's strength, he should not have failed to catch up to Rae.

Did an accident occur?

"She ran too quickly, and because she is familiar with the city, she vanished after a while." Rasputin was helpless: "Along the way, several people attacked me as well, I had to spend some time dealing with them."

What he did not say was, if Ye Feng had not held him back, he might have caught her.

But there was no point in saying that, it would only annoy Ye Feng and have no use in this matter.

"People attacked you for no reason?" Ye Feng rubbed his chin and thought to himself: "It can't be a coincidence, it must have to do with Rae. It seems that she has many connections in Endless City."

"Lucky, I did not tell Peter that I found his daughter, otherwise, it will become an issue."

Now, it seemed that he was right to not tell Peter about the matter regarding Rae.

"We have no choice but to tell him now." Rasputin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We don't have any influence in this city, we need her father to search for her."

"Go look for her first." Ye Feng nodded and said solemnly: "I'll go inform Peter and get him to think of a solution. He is her father after all, he also has a lot of influence here."

After the two parted, Ye Feng arrived at the Transaction House again for the third time in a short period.

"Sir Ye Feng, you came here again?"

The same person was attending to Ye Feng again.

Evidently, he was slightly stunned, but he saw Ye Feng's urgent expression and quickly said: "I will inform Lord Peter!"

Saying so, he left.

...

Ye Feng could tell that Peter was very concerned about his daughter—it was obvious from the way he spoke.

"If you can't find Rae, you can forget about coming back here anymore!" Peter shouted as his face flushed red, he screamed: "The city has already been locked down, even if you have to scour the entire city, you must find her!"

In order to find Rae, he was forcefully sealing the entire Endless City, the price to pay for that was definitely huge!

"Sir Ye Feng, I owe you my thanks." After dispatching all of his subordinates, Peter grabbed Ye Feng tightly and said: "I need to go find her."

This was his daughter!

Seeing such a situation, Ye Feng could not do nothing, since he was not familiar with the place, he could only roam around aimlessly.

But right when he was moving around, Weakling suddenly moved its head out and growled at him.

Afterwards, it moved away while looking back at Ye Feng.

"Hmm?" Ye Feng soon reacted to its actions and said: "You found Rae?"

Weakling shook its head.

"So it must be Rasputin?"

Weakling nodded and started running. Ye Feng followed behind it and soon found Rasputin in a warehouse.

Not only Rasputin, there were around seven kidnappers present along with Rae.

It seemed that Weakling did not notice Rae because it was not familiar with her.

Rasputin did not even have the time to untie Rae, he was too busy defending against the attacks of these people.

They were not strong at all but they simply had the advantage of numbers.

There were already three people lying on the ground. Evidently, Rasputin could only defend against them in this situation, he could not retaliate effectively.

"Why didn't you ask for help? Can't you just shout?"

Ye Feng came over and said while tossing fireballs at them.

This was the power of a Magician, the advantage of numbers that troubled Rasputin greatly was completely removed after Ye Feng's fireballs effortlessly burned these people to a crisp.

"Brother, I owe you my gratitude." Rasputin supported the weakened Rae as they walked over, he breathed roughly and said: "After leaving, Rae met these kidnappers and got captured. I also found her by coincidence."

Chapter 196: Assassination and Engagement

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Feng looked at the two of them who were being quite intimate as he smiled faintly.

"It seems that their relationship improved a lot after this incident..." Ye Feng thought to himself.

Come to speak of it, Rae was quite unlucky. When they first met, she had encountered danger, and in just a short time, she met some kidnappers again.

Regardless, it was true that she was saved by Ye Feng and Rasputin on both occasions, so it could also be said that her luck was quite good.

"Alright, let's go back first." Ye Feng smiled as he said that, but he still scolded Rasputin: "But seriously, we are not criminals, why didn't you shout for help earlier? With your strength, your voice should be able to travel very far."

"I was too anxious, I did not think about it." Rasputin chuckled sheepishly.

Back then, he was focused on saving Rae, because it was an intense moment, he could not think clearly.

The three of them started to return, Ye Feng looked at Rae who was supported by Rasputin and said to the latter: "Do you want to learn my forging skills? You can collaborate with Peter in my stead and stay in Endless City."

"This is a nice place, you can stay here for some time."

Although his voice was soft, Rae could hear it clearly. Before Rasputin even replied, she immediately said: "Stay here, Endless City is a nice place!"

Ye Feng casted a glance at Rae, her head was lowered and her face could not be seen, but he could sense that her face had turned red.

"I can stay..." Rasputin thought about it and laughed as he answered: "Brother, your forging skills are the greatest things I can ask for, Endless City is a nice place indeed, I'll stay here for some time."

Saying so, he turned to look at Rae for some reason, but from his angle, there was nothing he could see.

After Rasputin sent Rae back, Ye Feng went back to his house to continue forging.

Although he was going to teach Rasputin his forging skills, the latter would not be able to produce amazing results in a short period of time, he had to accumulate more equipment first.

Be it for his own benefits or for Rasputin's future status in the city, this was necessary.

By evening, Rasputin returned.

He returned alone but it was obvious that he was quite happy since he had a smile on his face.

"Brother, Sir Peter said that he has arranged a banquet tonight to thank us, he has specially invited us." Rasputin smiled and explained: "Don't worry, it will only involve the few of us, it won't be troublesome."

Ye Feng raised his head: "Sure, let's go. They are so kind to invite us, how can we reject their goodwill?"

They quickly packed up and headed to the restaurant where the banquet was held.

"Welcome, welcome." Peter and Rae came out to receive them together, there did not seem to be any conflict between them now, it must have been resolved.

After getting into danger on two occasions, Rae would also not dare to run away again.

This was a private banquet indeed, they only talked about casual daily matters and did not involve any business.

"Sir, the next course we have here is the sauced pork knuckle."

A waiter pushed the cart to Peter and plated the dish in front of them.

But the moment he pulled off the cloth cover, Ye Feng saw a glint of light that was reflected off the cart.

Why was the sauced pork knuckle reflecting light?

Ye Feng was a little confused, no matter how oily the pork knuckle was, it should not be this reflective.

Thus, when the waiter pulled out a dagger from the cart, he was the first to react.

A bolt of lightning landed on the waiter.

Although the dagger had already pierced Peter's skin, due to Ye Feng's action, Peter reacted in time and rolled away to safety, dodging the assassin's upcoming attack.

"Guards!"

The moment Peter shouted, several assassins jumped out of their hiding spots, some attacked him while the others targeted Rae.

They were faster than the guards who were outside, after all, they had been hiding in the room the entire time.

Although they were strong and made good use of their time, they still made a mistake, they ignored Ye Feng and Rasputin.

Immediately, Rasputin moved towards Rae and blocked the assassins aiming at her.

The person closest to him was actually Ye Feng but the latter did not need any protection.

The assassins were also stronger than Ye Feng had expected, his magic could only stall them for some time. But during this period, the guards had already arrived.

"I'll leave Rae in your hands." Ye Feng shouted as he charged towards Peter.

The two guards who came in were blocked by the assassins, they would need at least half a minute to reach Peter.

"You have a death wish!"

Ye Feng snorted coldly as he unleashed his spell along with Weakling.

At the same time, the Lightning Whip appeared in his hand and coiled around the neck of a paralyzed assassin.

Ye Feng pulled with a huge force and killed the assassin who was dragged towards him. Afterwards, he swung the whip and lashed at the surrounding assassins.

"Rasputin!"

After dealing with the enemies around him, Ye Feng heard Rae's scream and quickly ran over.

"He... he blocked the attack for me!" Rae knelt beside Rasputin and sobbed profusely.

"Don't worry, move aside, he's not dead yet." Ye Feng helped Rae stand up as he said while rolling his eyes.

He quickly let Rasputin drink some healing medicine while Weakling used healing magic on Rasputin.

Soon, Rasputin woke up and was no longer in danger.

There were no severe injuries on him, Weakling did not have to heal him with much effort.

After the rest of the assassins were dealt with, Peter walked over while pressing on his wound.

"Thank you for your help."

If not for Ye Feng and Rasputin's help, he might have died along with Rae.

...

"That's right, brother, I've already gotten engaged to Rae." Rasputin was here to learn forging skills from Ye Feng, he said in excitement when he arrived: "We'll get married once my injuries heal."

Ye Feng was not surprised about this, they had been quite close recently, it was only a natural result.

It was just that he did not expect their wedding to occur so quickly.

"Alright, in any case, I've already taught most of the techniques to you, the rest will depend on you." Ye Feng said softly; "Don't let me down."

"Don't worry, brother." Rasputin nodded solemn and said in a firm tone: "I cannot repay you for all that you've done, but if you have anything that you need me to do, I will not refuse it, I will help you even if my life is at stake!"

"Forget it, don't say that when you're staying here anyway." Ye Feng waved his hand and rolled his eyes: "I will leave tomorrow, I've spent enough time in this city."

Chapter 197: Underwater Town

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the second day, Ye Feng went on the ship that was headed to the Endless Sea.

As they were all on the same ship, the passengers all had a decent relationship, no conflicts arose among them.

"Huff... the sea breeze is really comfortable."

Standing on the deck with Weakling, he enjoyed the sea breeze on the ship.

The weather was quite good now, there was warm sunlight and a mild breeze, it was a good time to appreciate the scenery.

The fact was, many people came here. The journey was quite long, so they had to do something during that time, this was quite a relaxing activity.

But after Ye Feng stood here for a while, the ship began to shake intensely. Ye Feng stabilized himself and looked out of the ship, only to see tens of underwater creatures that were the size of humans under the water tackling the ship.

"What is that?" Someone screamed.

"Are we being attacked? Someone, quickly deal with them!"

Before setting off, Ye Feng had studied some information regarding the creatures of the sea.

He recognized the demon beasts that were attacking the ship, they usually lived in groups and were playful but would not attack humans for no reason.

Right now, they were likely treating the ship as a toy.

"Wu, wuuu~"

While everyone was thinking of a solution to resolve this situation, Weakling suddenly jumped to the edge of the ship and growled in a low tone.

After several cries, the shaking of the ship stopped, the demon beasts circled around the ship for a while before dispersing.

Ye Feng quickly brought Weakling away, its earlier action had not attracted too much attention yet.

"Well done!" Ye Feng smiled as he gave a stage five armor to Weakling.

Watching Weakling eat the armor, Ye Feng gently caressed its fur.

Weakling could eat equipment as nutrients, but at its current state, only stage five equipment were useful to it.

Ye Feng did not feel heartache from the cost, Weakling was just too useful to him, it was worth the investment if these equipment could raise Weakling's strength!

Fortunately, it was Ye Feng who raised it, anyone else would not be able to bear the burden. In fact, if Weakling's food requirement was any higher, even Ye Feng would not be able to afford it.

Not long after, they arrived at the region of the Endless Sea, but strangely, the ship was unable to get any closer.

"Hurry up, get down, this sea region is not normal!"

Someone jumped out of the ship before shouting.

Ye Feng looked outside in curiosity but something strange happened. Everyone was standing on the sea, they did not show signs of falling into the water.

It was as if they were standing on land.

"This..." Ye Feng held Weakling as they jumped down as well, landing on the surface of the sea.

As his feet touched the water, there were ripples that appeared beneath.

"There seems to be a large formation here."

Ye Feng muttered softly while looking down at the sea.

Since they were able to touch the surface of the sea, it meant that they could move downwards. This place was empty and had nothing else, if they wanted to find clues of what happened, they had to go down.

"Let's go down and check." Ye Feng looked around and said: "We can only find clues under the sea."

Saying so, his arms pierced through the surface of the sea as he went into the water.

As he had expected, the underwater world was completely different from what they assumed, he actually saw lights!

There was a town under the sea!

Ye Feng and the rest looked at each other before swimming down together.

Seemingly because of the formation, they were able to breathe normally after entering the water, it was quite hard to get used to swimming while breathing normally.

This sea was not deep, because everyone was not weak, the underwater pressure did not affect them, they quickly reached the periphery of the town.

But when Ye Feng wanted to get inside, he was stopped by an invisible barrier.

Ye Feng punched this barrier while frowning uncontrollably.

This barrier was tougher than he had expected, as a Blacksmith, he could naturally observe the condition of this barrier.

While thinking about it, he took out a hammer and smashed at it.

Many other people did the same thing as him, they used all sorts of methods to test the strength of this barrier.

"Let's work together." Someone pointed out and said.

They were here for fortuitous encounters, after seeing such a special town, they would not let it go.

"Alright, let's prepare, we'll attack together."

Ye Feng moved away from the barrier and gathered the elements in his body.

"Are you all prepared?"

"Three."

"Two."

"One!"

Most of the people here were Knights, there were only a few Magicians, but the commotion was still huge.

At close range, Knights unleashed their secret offensive skills as light shone on their bodies, their glowing weapons smashed at the barrier.

Far away, magic spells were unleashed. First, there were Ye Feng and Weakling's lightning magic, the blue and purple lightning bolts were dazzling and eye-catching. After that, all the other spells crashed into the barrier like a series of bright fireworks.

There was a loud sound from the impact.

In the outside world, such attacks could destroy an entire mountain.

As they wished, the barrier was successfully broken through.

But after the barrier was broken, nothing seemed to have changed. Ye Feng and the rest started to tour the town.

This town seemed like the ones outside, the residents were not weak but Ye Feng and the others did not attack them, they only went to find places to stay in.

Since they could stay here for a long time, there was no need to be anxious. They could slowly find their own opportunities, there was no need to fight among themselves.

They were not afraid to fight each other, but it would be best to avoid that. On one hand, they could ensure their own safety, on the other hand, they had developed some friendship after being together for this period of time.

Ye Feng stayed here too, but at night, a loud sound woke him up.

He quickly went out of his room and saw the attendant pouncing at him with a twisted expression.

During the day, he had not talked to the attendant. Right now, he only made the latter faint instead of killing him.

He quickly checked the other rooms and found only corpses in some, the remaining rooms had people fighting in them.

The residents who spoke to them nicely during the day were like wild beasts that wanted to devour them now, they attacked in a frenzy.

Ye Feng and the others who were still alive quickly went into hiding after getting away from them.

They could not fight against the entire town on their own.

Chapter 198: Floating Palace

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Feng took a look at the ones who gathered, about half of the ones who came initially had died. Most of them were unlucky and got attacked while they were deep asleep.

These insane residents were not stupid, they knew how to launch sneak attacks.

However, they did not manage to control the entire town, after Ye Feng got away from them and hid somewhere, nobody managed to find him.

Of course, some passed by the area but he managed to hide from them successfully.

The ones near Ye Feng should not be the only survivors, but the scene was just too chaotic and not appropriate to move together, so many others might still be hiding elsewhere.

After all, everyone here was confident in their own strength, at least in terms of self-preservation, they were not weak.

Ye Feng and the rest waited at their hiding spots until the second day arrived.

The noise in the town alerted Ye Feng and the rest, they came out hesitantly but found that the area was normal like the time when they first arrived.

After asking a random person, Ye Feng found that they did not remember what happened the previous night, it was as if this town was a different world during the day and night.

After returning to their accommodation, Ye Feng and the rest started to talk about this situation.

"First, we have to confirm a problem." Ye Feng looked around and asked: "Are we going to leave, or will we investigate further?"

This was the most important decision now, if they were leaving, there would be no need to stay and discuss.

Everyone was silent.

"I am leaving." A muscular man broke the silence, he lowered his tone and said: "We can't go against an entire town, at this rate, we will be killed."

He was not afraid of them, but he was in their territory. There were countless residents who did not fear death, how could he take this risk?

Since they did not know what treasure was here, taking such a risk for the possibility of an unknown reward was very unwise.

If there was such a fortuitous encounter here, taking a risk was understandable, but what if there wasn't any?

After wasting so much effort, if they end up finding that there was nothing valuable here, that would make one go crazy!

"I agree."

"I'll do the same."

"I'm not leaving." Someone suddenly spoke: "This is just a bit of effort, we only have to avoid them at night. If we persevere, we will definitely find out the truth."

"Cough, let me interject." Ye Feng suddenly interrupted them as he said: "I took a walk in the town today, I found that it is enveloped by a huge formation. Yesterday, we were too nervous, but if you think about it, the situation occurred when the formation activated."

"That is to say, if we can resolve the formation, we can also unravel the mystery of the town."

He was very convincing, but there were few people who changed their mind.

Even if they solved this mystery, there might not be any benefit. In contrast, the risk was huge, since the Endless Sea had many opportunities in it, this town was not the only one, why was there a need to investigate it?

"Then there is no helping it, if you want to leave, go ahead. Otherwise, you can stay and investigate." Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I wonder if the barrier works from within as well."

As expected, those who wanted to leave came back soon after.

"The barrier needs to be broken from the inside if we want to exit. How can we break it with just the few of us?" Someone sat down dejectedly as he sighed.

There was only one-third of the original group left, they could not break the barrier, in fact, they could not even put a dent on it.

"We need to think positively." The person who initiated the idea of leaving was nonchalant: "Since we are forced to stay, we can try to find our own opportunities by thoroughly investigating the place."

Many people were convinced by his words, so they started to investigate the town.

Ye Feng left as well, but he went to find a place to rest, only starting his search in the evening.

It was the reverse of what the others did.

During the day, he had already gone to many places but found nothing. Since the formation only activated at night, it was better to investigate at that time.

He was confident in his own strength.

Night soon descended, a large number of residents came towards Ye Feng, it felt like a zombie apocalypse.

These residents were not as scary and ugly as zombies, although their strength was much higher than mere zombies.

Ye Feng could not hold back against them, he took out the Lightning Whip and started to 'clear the way' ahead of him.

His attacks were all unleashed with his full power, some of the weaker residents were actually killed by him.

Ye Feng sensed the source of the energy and finally followed it to find a crucial location.

It was a floating palace.

"It looks really majestic." Ye Feng lashed at several residents in his way as he sighed uncontrollably.

His luck was quite good, he did not encounter any strong residents along the way, although he used up some energy and stamina, he was unharmed.

"Let's take a look inside." Ye Feng kept his Lightning Whip and carried Weakling as they arrived before the palace.

Using magic, it was extremely easy for him to get up there.

Looking at the tightly shut door, Ye Feng placed Weakling down and took a deep breath before he pushed with all his strength.

Along with a creaking sound, the door slowly opened and revealed the walkway within.

The door did not have any traps or even a lock, it was merely heavy.

But this was a good thing for Ye Feng who was not locked outside.

After the door was opened to a certain degree, Ye Feng walked in while alertly checking his surroundings.

This was a long walkway, lined with many vivid-looking statues on both sides.

They had all forms and shapes, their weapons were also of various types. Some were expressionless while some had distorted expressions, but all of them were looking at the walkway.

"It feels really nervous walking on this path while these statues are staring..." Ye Feng looked around and decided to move ahead, observing these statues.

He was alone at this place, he could not help but let his imagination run wild.

But after Ye Feng was halfway through the path, dust started to fall off the statues as they began to move.

"No way..." Ye Feng was stunned as his expression turned stiff.

Soon, he heard the sound of wind above him. Ye Feng had no time to think as he quickly dodged and rolled out of the way.

Bam!

A stone ax landed on the location that Ye Feng was at previously.

Chapter 199: Reward at the Second Floor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As the stone ax fell, many statues started to move, they attacked at the same time.

Their attacks were simple, they only waved around the weapons in their hands.

But the issue was, they were huge!

Ye Feng could not dodge in time, he flew into the air after getting hit by a hammer, the strong impact almost made him spit out blood.

These statues attacked with simple movements but they were just too strong physically, each one could completely suppress Ye Feng!

Ye Feng extended a vine from his hand and attached it to a structure near the top of the palace, allowing him to dodge the wave of attacks.

"These statues cannot be destroyed using ordinary magic, their magic resistance is too high." Ye Feng looked at Weakling which was still casting spells while dodging as he muttered to himself.

Weakling's spells were very powerful, but there was little effect on these statues.

But Weakling's size was a huge advantage here, it was hard for the statues to not hit each other as it dodged by moving around them.

Ye Feng wiped the blood from his lips and jumped down, bringing Weakling along as they used magic together.

"Earth judgment!"

This was the strongest earth elemental spell he could use. Although it was a spell, the meteorite earth spikes that were created attacked using physical force.

For spells that were fire or lightning attribute, they attacked using energy, the effect was too low on these statues.

A large number of meteorite earth spikes appeared from thin air, flying towards these statues with an unthinkable speed and acceleration.

"Protection of wood!"

Ye Feng endured another wave of attacks and used the force to reach the end of the path. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and summoned a huge wood shield that glowed in a faint light.

Although it looked like a shield, one could tell from the light that it was made of energy, it was not real wood.

The statues could only attack with brute force, they could not resist Ye Feng's spells which were too powerful. After they were destroyed, he quickly charged towards the ladder that was at the end of the path.

The remaining statues did not pursue him, it was possible that they were too large for this, or maybe they were designed in such a manner.

Both reasons were actually the same one in essence.

Due to the fear of being attacked like earlier, once Ye Feng reached the second floor, he started to look around alertly, he only heaved a sigh of relief after confirming his safety.

If the first floor was just a walkway, then the second floor was a true palace. There were all sorts of decorations that shone in golden dazzling light, it was quite luxurious looking.

In such a place, the statues from earlier could not be displayed due to the lack of space.

Ye Feng walked slowly as he checked every step, this place looked like it was littered with treasures, as long as he searched carefully, he would be able to find something.

[Mental Training Potion]

Grade: Stage Four

Special Trait: After consumption, it can raise one's mental strength through training in battle. Alternatively, it can greatly raise the speed of one's growth in mental strength if consumed while cultivating.

Ye Feng opened the box and saw this potion inside.

This was the first time Ye Feng had seen such a potion, although it was only stage four, in terms of rarity, it was on par with a stage six potion.

After obtaining his first 'treasure', Ye Feng became more motivated than before.

[Wind Eagle Tail]

Grade: Stage Six

Special Trait: The tail of an adult wind eagle, it contains the power of the wind element. If used to make potions, it can temporarily raise the user's speed. If used in forging, it can imbue wind attribute magic onto the equipment.

Regarding these materials, if he was not trying to collate his gains, Ye Feng would not even need to appraise it.

All he wanted to do was to fit everything into his spatial bag.

Like this, Ye Feng started to loot the second floor.

But after he was halfway through his search, Weakling suddenly raised its head and growled at the space above it.

Ye Feng raised his head and saw that a sharp spike was shooting towards him with breakneck speed.

At this critical moment, Ye Feng only had time to block the attack with both hands, magic would take too long to cast.

But how could his body block a sharp spike? Ye Feng's left arm was quickly pierced but at the same time, his lightning bolt shot out.

Ye Feng endured the pain as he pulled out the spike, retreating while looking up.

There was a huge spider there, it was only slightly smaller than the statues on the first floor.

Ye Feng looked at the wound on his left arm, he let out a sigh of relief after seeing that there was no poison.

But the injury to his left arm's bone would affect his combat strength for some time.

Ye Feng took out his weapon and charged towards the spider that was hanging from the ceiling.

Weakling was very upset as it growled, at this moment, the legs of the spider shook while attacking, giving Ye Feng a chance to force it down by cutting the legs.

While he was about to attack again, the spider spoke: "Spare me!"

While speaking, it looked at Weakling with a fearful gaze.

"I can give you all the spider silk that I created, it took a lot of effort to make it, it is definitely a top tier material." The spider ran to Ye Feng and said in a pleading tone.

Although Ye Feng did not understand why this was happening, he nodded but kept up his alertness towards the spider.

The spider did not play tricks, it spit out many balls of spider silk.

[Giant Spider Essence Silk]

Grade: Peak Stage Six

Special Trait: The super strong silk that the giant spider created after a lot of time and effort. It is superb in terms of strength and stretchability, it is a top tier forging material.

As Ye Feng inspected the information of the spider silk, the giant spider suddenly raised its legs, quickly stabbing towards Ye Feng, leaving afterimages in the air.

But its legs were stopped by several shining wooden shields. If it was an earth wall, it could still break it with an energy attack, but such a shield could only be pierced but not destroyed.

"Heh, I knew it." Ye Feng smiled coldly as he attacked together with Weakling.

"Void Slash!"

The giant spider's head was crushed instantly, its body fell to the ground.

But after a few breaths of time, its stomach suddenly expanded and burst as countless small spiders crawled out.

Ye Feng subconsciously summoned a torrent of flames as the small spiders were burned to a crisp in an instant, but looking at the waves of spiders, Ye Feng gulped uncontrollably.

This was a nightmare for people with trypophobia.

These small spiders were not strong but the number was just too high. All together, their collective size even exceeded the giant spider, Ye Feng could not help but suspect that the stomach of the spider was a spatial area.

"Oh no! The town!" Ye Feng suddenly reacted.

Although the spiders could not affect him, they were not just able to attack, they could also go down the stairs behind him.

Chapter 200: Leaving the Town

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Feng kept away the spider silk and held Weakling as he maintained the ring of fire around him; he ran towards the exit like the tiny spiders.

These small spiders were very weak but if they got close to a person, they would easily be able to tear them to bits and only leave behind a skeleton.

Although the giant spider was not venomous, it would be a huge problem if these small spiders were.

Unless one was a powerful Knight, they would not be able to deal with this situation.

Of course, this excluded the ones with special offensive skills or secret skills.

Although Ye Feng returned to the town at his full speed, he was still slightly slower than the spiders.

By the time he returned, the spiders had already spread out, he could hear the sound of fighting coming from all over the town, mixed with anguished cries.

Ye Feng could not care about the rest, he could only continue using fire magic to burn the spiders.

Thankfully, there were quite a few Fire Magicians here, they gathered and eradicated the spiders together. Although the efficiency was low, they could assure each other's safety.

The ones who were weaker had already died, the remaining ones were safe barring any accidents. Ye Feng calmed down and started using his spell to kill the spiders.

The truth was, all the various elemental spells were able to kill these spiders, but the most efficient one was fire, after all, they could be killed using ordinary flames.

Ordinary flames were much less taxing on magical energy than the other elements.

These spiders were quickly dealt with but the damage they caused remained, half of the town was destroyed after this calamity.

"The barrier still can't be broken?" After killing all the spiders, Ye Feng gathered with the rest and started to fix the devastated town.

"We have even fewer people now... there is no way out." Someone sighed and said helplessly: "We can only do what you told us earlier and research the formation to find a solution."

Even though Ye Feng had some understanding of formations, he was only a Blacksmith, regarding these large sized formations, his knowledge was limited.

Fortunately, there were others who knew something about formations, everyone's collective effort allowed them to have some progress in this.

Ye Feng did not conceal the matter of the palace, he brought them there as it seemed that the formation core was located in the palace.

Ye Feng had not taken all of the treasures on the second floor but he felt that he had already taken enough. There was no need to be greedy, the most important thing was to leave the town.

Moreover, he could not conceal this floating palace, since they would find out anyway, why not bring them there as a favor?

Eventually, they found the formation core on the second floor, but just finding it was pointless. The formation core was like a bomb, it needed to be defused properly, of course, the formation would not explode if they messed up.

If one's strength was high enough, they could directly destroy the whole formation. But they were not strong enough, so they could only try to find any loopholes here.

"This should be the place..." Ye Feng muttered as he looked at the shining formation below his feet, he injected some energy with his finger.

It might have been his imagination, but Ye Feng heard a cracking sound.

"Did we succeed?" Everyone raised their head subconsciously.

"The energy in the formation seems to be disrupted." Someone inspected the formation and said in a deep voice: "Let's go out and check, we should have succeeded."

Ye Feng and the rest left the palace but Weakling seemed to have fainted for some reason.

After inspecting Weakling's body, Ye Feng found nothing wrong with it. In this situation, he guessed that the formation had some reason to do with this.

Ye Feng could not resolve this now, he carried the fainted Weakling as they left this place.

The barrier had broken indeed, everyone brought the valuables from the town and swam to the surface excitedly.

Only after a short while, several shadows swam rapidly towards them from afar.

As they got closer, a strange sound wave was transmitted to them, other than Ye Feng, everyone else held their heads and started to faint.

Soon, the shadowy figures could be seen, they were similar to the demon beasts that attacked the ship earlier, but they were somewhat different.

After all, the demon beasts earlier did not have the ability to emit sound waves that could make people faint.

These demon beasts seemed like they came with vengeance.

Ye Feng watched as the others sank into the sea, he felt a headache from seeing this.

Although a few were still conscious, they did not seem like they could last for long, all of them were shaking their heads dizzily.

Ye Feng sighed helplessly, he quickly took out the demon cores and potions that were useful to his condition from his spatial bag, he was not in a good state now.

The arm that was pierced had only barely recovered, it was usable in daily life but his combat strength in intense battle was greatly affected.

Earlier, he also expended too much energy burning the spiders. Even before he recovered, he started researching the formation with his remaining energy, even now, his magical energy had only recovered by one-third of the capacity.

While Ye Feng tried to recover as quickly as he could, the demon beasts also noticed Ye Feng who was different from the rest.

Ye Feng had some guesses regarding why he was unaffected. It was likely due to Weakling, earlier, it was able to communicate with the demon beasts, and Weakling was also able to intimidate the giant spider. Not only was it strong, its bloodline was also quite special.

In the eyes of demon beasts, bloodline was an extremely important thing.

"Huff... water tornado!" Ye Feng stretched out his arm as the surrounding sea water turned into a tornado that stalled the demon beasts' attacks.

But he could only stall them, although water magic was more powerful underwater, they were not effective at dealing any damage to the demon beasts.

Ye Feng took out his dagger and tried slashing with it, he found that the resistance was not too high.

He raised his head to look at the nearby demon beasts as he charged forward while unleashing spells.

"Since magic is useless, let's try a big move." Ye Feng muttered softly.

There were only four demon beasts here, he could claim victory by relying on his agility.

"Water dragon!"

Sea water gathered as the vague figures of several dragons could be seen, the surroundings had huge currents from the compression of water.

It seemed like the demon beasts were also able to use magic, Ye Feng quickly dodged the water currents that were aimed at him.

At the same time, he manipulated the water dragon to attack the demon beasts, the clash of currents made it seem like there was a tsunami occurring.
