Chapter 96: Yuan He Town
The Basic Predation Stage was not intense due to the existence of the ‘Sanctuary Zone’; each predation only dealt 5 Life Points of damage.
The Basic Predation Stage ended quickly.
The edge of the circular platform lit up with a bright radiance, and countless purple light patterns converged like streams towards Xia Feng’s feet, forming a teleportation array.
[Entering the Hunting Predation Stage. We wish all players good fortune!]
As the solemn heavenly voice echoed, the surroundings turned into mottled pixelated dots once more, rushing towards him.
In a moment of disorientation, Xia Feng found himself back in the toilet stall.
There were now two objectives.
First, find Player 17 to obtain 60 Life Points.
Then, find Player 6.
Based on the information from the previous round, he remembered Player 6 had bought the Spirit Awakening Wood, so Xia Feng planned to deal with Player 17 before having a good chat about life and ideals with Player 6.
While thinking, Xia Feng hurried to the Holy Department building and happened to see Mu Qingtong walking out of the entrance.
“Where are you going?”
“On a mission.”
“I’m going too.”
“?”
Mu Qingtong’s delicate eyebrows rose slightly. She noticed that this junior had been seeking her out more and more frequently lately. It seemed he was eager to be pinned down and beaten by her.
“Oh?” At this moment, Daoist Chen also walked out of the lobby. “Young friend Xia Feng, you wish to participate in the mission as well?”
“I’m too bored at home.” Xia Feng glanced at Mu Qingtong. “Some people are still afraid of my power and won’t fight me, so I want to stretch my muscles.”
Mu Qingtong smiled and said nothing.
Chen Xingdao glanced at his watch and nodded. “That’s fine. There’s not much time left. You can fill out a mission application when we get back. Let’s go.”
Xia Feng followed them into a military-green off-road vehicle.
Chen Xingdao sat in the front passenger seat, while Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong sat in the back.
The driver was a young man who looked like he had just graduated. He had a bowl-cut hairstyle and a somewhat effeminate face, but his grayish-blue eyes shone brightly, looking very energetic.
When the young man saw Mu Qingtong get into the car, his eyes widened. “Mu Mu Mu—Mu Shen?!”
Daoist Chen patted his head and reprimanded him, “Calm yourself!”
“Yes, Master.” The young man quickly became serious.
However, when Xia Feng got into the car with Yue Hongli, the young man’s eyes widened again, and he turned his head abruptly. “Princess Consort?!”
“Slap—” Daoist Chen hit his forehead again. “Be desireless!”
A red mark appeared on the young man’s forehead, and his face flushed red. He turned back, muttering softly, “Calm, desireless, calm, desireless…”
Xia Feng’s eye corners twitched slightly. His gaze shifted, and he soon noticed the peach wood sword by the driver’s seat. That was likely the young man’s sword.
“Let me introduce you. This is my disciple, Cai Kuihua. You can call him Little Cai,” Daoist Chen said, patting the young man’s shoulder.
“Your disciple?” Xia Feng leaned back tactically, looking at the young man with a slightly strange gaze. He knew that Chen Xingdao possessed a terrifying B-grade Spirit Robe called the Sunflower Sword Style, which, once fully mastered, could rival an A-class. The only condition for learning it was to cut off two taels of flesh below the crotch…
“Ni, nice to meet you. My name is Cai Kuihua. Please take care of me.”
“Hello, hello. I’m Xia Feng, from Squad Eight.” Xia Feng nodded at the young man. The young man’s gaze subconsciously flickered towards the Princess Consort beside Xia Feng.
After the battle at Pingshan Hospital, an Earl had died, and the Earl’s wife had acknowledged a freshman as her Master. This student seemed to be named Xia Feng.
That was the Princess Consort! Cai Kuihua was immensely envious, wondering what “shy” things Xia Feng would do to the Princess Consort at night.
“Slap—” Another slap landed on the young man’s forehead. Daoist Chen said in a deep voice, “What is the Sword Sect’s motto?”
Cai Kuihua’s expression turned serious, and he instantly straightened his back, saying earnestly, “Women only slow down my sword’s speed!”
“Drive.”
“Yes!” Cai Kuihua’s voice boomed as he engaged the clutch.
Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong exchanged glances, feeling that this teammate was rather unreliable.
Chen Xingdao sat in the front passenger seat, took out a tablet, and began to explain the mission information.
“The target’s name is Wen Zaiye. He was born in Junlin City, District 51. He is a local. Two years ago, for unknown reasons, he joined the Black Moon Holy See and became a Black Moon Knight. in March of this year, he stole the ‘Moon God Tear’ and defected. During his escape, he committed multiple crimes, resulting in the death of one Spirit Master and injuries to three civilians.”
“This afternoon at 5 PM, he was discovered by an agent from the Holy Department’s Ninth Squad. He fled into the Mi Jia Calamity Realm and is still trapped within, not having emerged.”
!
“According to our estimations, Wen Zaiye only has Tier 1 Spirit Pressure. Capturing him is not difficult. The challenges of this mission are the Mi Jia Calamity Realm, and… the Black Moon Holy See!”
“The Holy See?” Xia Feng asked, confused.
“Yes.” Daoist Chen nodded. “The Black Moon Holy See wants to capture the apostate and deal with him themselves, not allowing the Holy Department to interfere. It’s estimated they will also dispatch people into the Calamity Realm to find Wen Zaiye. Therefore, we must capture Wen Zaiye before the Holy See does, to prevent them from silencing him.”
Silencing him? Xia Feng’s dark eyes narrowed, sensing that this matter was not simple.
However, he didn’t ask further. After all, he didn’t care about Wen Zaiye at all. He just wanted to enter the Calamity Realm and find Player 17, to give Player 17 a chance to get rich.
Player 17, wait for me. Brother is coming to deliver you a head right away!
The off-road vehicle merged into the street traffic, speeding rapidly between tall buildings.
District 51 was once part of the Evil Dragon Forest. However, after the great war a hundred years ago, the Final Great Wall was rebuilt, and the Empire’s territory expanded significantly, leading to the establishment of District 51, also known as the New District.
The capital city was established in Junlin City, adjacent to the Evil Dragon Forest.
With a century of development, Junlin City was no longer the chaotic scene of the past. Now, it was filled with towering buildings and was a prosperous city.
But no matter how prosperous a city was, there were always relatively backward and impoverished areas.
The off-road vehicle drove into a somewhat desolate small town.
[Yuan He Town]
“It seems our Holy See friends have also arrived. Let’s get out and meet them.”
As Daoist Chen said in a deep voice, Xia Feng looked up.
Above the golden wheat fields, dark cracks were dimly visible in the sky. That should be the entrance to the Calamity Realm.
And in front of the off-road vehicle, twenty Holy See Knights in silver armor were looking down, seemingly discussing something.
Xia Feng unexpectedly saw a few old friends in the crowd.
Cha Nai Xue, along with her two guardian knights, Yin and Pandar, all looked up in unison.
