Chapter 878: The Scariest Things are the Prodigies

Qin Feng gave the robo-dog a cold glance. Even though it was in a machine body, the robo-dog could not help but feel a chill running down its Shade-based soul.

The robo-dog did not know how to observe a human’s emotions and feelings. However, it was able to trace the reason, via logic, as to why Qin Feng was not pleased with its answer.

“But… but! The Dark Armor robot has combat records in its core. If you can take it off, you could then build a new robot and make it your servant.”

“That’ll do!”

Qin Feng took a look at the Perished Land. Due to the unique gravitational location the Sacred Star was at at the time, the Perished Land was above his head.

Having raised his head, Qin Feng could observe that several fights had started from the emitted energy earlier.

The energy was rather pure and potent; and it was converted into a form that only Shades could absorb.

Noticing something, Qin Feng raised his Verdant Emperor Saber and fused his internal energy in it.

“Wanzhong’s Spirit Chain Rend…”

Using his Spirit Chain Rend, Qin Feng activated several spirits.

The “spirits” that he activated had no consciousness and intelligence. However, they were still spirit-type creatures. After releasing them, these spirits quickly absorbed the energy that was released by the Dark Armor robot earlier.

Not only that, these spirits covered the whole sky while absorbing the energies that were being unleashed by the energy-emitting device.

Everytime Qin Feng activated his Spirit Chain Rend, the spirits that were originally trapped in the Rend would usually be harmed. Some of the spirits were so weak that each slash he threw would kill them instantly.

Then, Qin Feng activated his Asteroid Assimilation to absorb them.

By absorbing them, Qin Feng’s Spirit Chain Rend then became much stronger each time he activated it.

Meanwhile, in the Perished Land.

The Shades realized that the Sacred Star’s light was gone. These Shades were low-intelligent creatures. They were just some spirits that wandered in the Perished Land aimlessly and responded to the light because these lights seemed to be beneficial to them—much like animals responding to the sight of food.

As such, even if the light was suddenly gone, these Shades seemed to not be upset at all.

However, the prodigies that were hunting these Shades could not help but to take notice of this sudden change in the environment. Some of them were first-timers in this area while some of them had been here before.

Still, without the Sacred Armor, they were not too bothered by the appearance of the Sacred Star. All they knew about the star was that it seemed to have baited large groups of Shades to reveal themselves, and that was all.

Zhou Hao spoke to his team after seeing that the light had disappeared.

“Stop the battle and prepare to leave. Qin Feng said that when the Sacred Star stopped its activity, this whole place would be shut and sealed. If we don’t go back now, there’ll be no way home!”

“Okay!”

Lu Meng took out a super cannon and shot a blast at a gigantic Shade.

A crystal-like shell was bombarded straight into its body.

Boom!

The Shade exploded into nothingness in an instant!

Naturally, whatever it was carrying all fell to the ground. Lu Meng was rather particular with her aim, ensuring that she would not destroy the treasures and items that the Shade was carrying.

Of course, there was no need to worry even if they were damaged. They just had to take everything that fell out of its body!

All six of them quickly swept across the battlefield and looted everything they could before activating their spatial waymarks and returned to Dragon Capital.

Due to Qin Feng being a prior example, no one was worried even though Zhou Hao and his team had stayed in the Perished Land for fifteen days.

They were not the last to return too.

They noticed that there was one person missing; it was the leader of the Southern Region—Nangong Feiyang.

This young man was the new challenger in the Nangong family’s branch. He was able to collect a Heavenly Jewel by chance in the wild and had gotten his strength rapidly enhanced from E9 to D6-tier. This was how he was able to represent the Southern Region this year.

However, he was still a newly ascended D6-tier. His strength’s foundation was still not stable. And now, he had not returned yet even though the others had already retreated back to Dragon Capital.

Other than Qin Feng, Nangong Feiyang was the only prodigy that had not returned yet.

Of course, they did not need to worry about Qin Feng because he was already really strong. No one would need to worry about him even if he stayed in the Perished Land for a full year.

However, things were quite different for Nangong Feiyang—if he stayed there too long, he would definitely be dead.

They could not help but feel that this young man had faced some kind of untoward fate.

“Perhaps Nangong Feiyang has gotten too bold due to his rapid growth. Damn… this boy. He should know that the scariest thing about the Perished Land is not the Shades! It’s the other prodigies!” Nangong Shi sighed.

Nangong Shi had predicted this would happen.

The boy was indeed strong. With his D6-tier strength, Nangong Feiyang boldly stepped into the ruins and collaborated with the Dragon-bornes to hunt down Shades for their treasures and resources.

This young man, if things were not to go astray, would definitely be an influential leader for the Nangongs in the future.

Meanwhile, seeing that the Sacred Star had started to dim down, Nangong Feiyang expressed that he wanted to leave.

“Guys, it’s been a pleasure working with you all. Regretfully, I can’t join you all next year. May we meet again someday!”

To Nangong Feiyang, even though these temporary allies were not humans, they were much more dependable than his human allies. Qin Feng even abandoned them, making him venture in this realm alone.

Perhaps his human allies would not expect that he would be so lucky to meet these dragon-borne allies!

It was then, a tall Dragon-borne spoke using his consciousness.

“Nangong, I really wish to visit your realm. Would the place you’re visiting next welcome people like us?”

Nangong Feiyang frowned.

Although this request was a sudden and weird one, Nangong Feiyang was thinking about whether it was appropriate for them to ask this—he was thinking about the unlikely viability for their visit to happen.

“My apologies, my friend. The place I’m going to visit next is sort of unwelcoming to your people. However, you’re always welcomed to visit my hometown in the Southern Region.”

Although the Nangongs had residences in the Dragon Capital, their home base was still in the Southern Region. As such, Nangong Feiyang felt that it was more appropriate for him to welcome his new alien friends there.

Besides, it would be a bragging right for him to show his fellow Nangongs that he had some dragon-friends!

However, the Feathered-tribe young man who was standing next to him replied with a sinister smile, “Well then… we, too, are kind of unwilling to part with you, Mr Nangong.”
