116: Chapter 116 When the Azure Dragon Appears, Gu Ze Bites Off His Tongue

The gate opened.

This fifth-tier territory was crawling with all sorts of highly poisonous creatures.

Poisonous spiders, giant centipedes, and scorpions were scurrying everywhere. There were even several fifth-tier poisonous creature lords entrenched there.

Gu Ze's Titan Thunder Bear charged in, but it couldn't hold out for more than a few minutes before it was sprayed with venom, oozing green slime all over and left half-dead.

Tang You's Sprite Dragons were all fragile support units; without a front-line tank, they couldn't withstand the counterattack of the poisonous insects at all.

It seemed that the fifth-tier difficulty was the absolute limit for these two.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly.

The next second, the phoenix in the volcanic crater spread its wings and soared, transforming into a crimson meteor that smashed into the enemy formation.

The sky filled with Undying Karma Fire poured down, instantly burning the pile of poisonous insects into ashes that filled the air.

Watching this world-destroying lethality, the two were completely stunned.

"I'm not fighting anymore! I'm not fighting anymore!"

Gu Ze was completely convinced, waving his hands repeatedly. "A single fifth-tier dungeon can wipe out my entire team; this game is unplayable!"

He spent every day in the simulation room practicing hard, only to find that he couldn't even catch a whiff of Lin Feng's exhaust. It was too demoralizing.

"Lin Feng, let's go back to the safe zone." Tang You also began to retreat.

It was estimated that for a long time, neither of them would have the courage to come out for wild exploration again.

"Fine."

Lin Feng nodded and steered the territory to turn around and head back.

Just as he turned the vehicle, the red light on the positioning console flashed wildly.

"Ding! High-energy warning: Eighth-tier plane detected ahead to the left! Please take evasive action immediately!"

An eighth-tier plane!

Hearing the system prompt, Lin Feng's spirits soared.

High-tier continents were rarer in the shallow waters than winning the lottery.

Taking the girl out for a ride today, he actually managed to bump into such top-tier fat meat.

It was simply God bestowing a meal. Lin Feng would never let such a perfect ATM go.

Gu Ze and Tang You, who were following in their vehicles, were so scared that their legs cramped when they heard the alarm.

"My dear mother! An eighth-tier powerhouse! How can we be so unlucky!"

Gu Ze gasped, his voice trembling. "Brother! Hurry! Step on the gas and run!"

In Gu Ze's eyes, even if Lin Feng had already reached the seventh tier, it was absolutely impossible to cross ranks and solo an eighth-tier world.

After all, he couldn't even beat fifth-tier monsters of his own rank.

"Lin Feng..." Tang You's small face was also deathly pale.

"What are you panicking about? I'll just use the territory to block in the middle," Lin Feng said in a calm tone.

He would only let the Chaos Territory make contact with the eighth-tier continent.

By dragging Gu Ze and Tang You's territories directly behind him, they naturally wouldn't be invaded by enemy troops.

This was the same trick he used to trap the Blood Moon Empire experts, and Lin Feng had long since mastered it to perfection.

Under Lin Feng's micro-management, the Chaos Territory approached steadily and successfully connected.

"System, scan the opponent's details."

There must be elemental crystals hidden in high-level ruins. He would use the radar to scout first.

"Ding! Holographic scanning in progress..."

"Ding! Locked onto one eighth-tier origin core."

"Ding! Locked onto one seventh-tier origin core."

"Ding! Locked onto two sixth-tier origin cores."

Good heavens, there really was quite a bit of stock!

It was a pity there was only one eighth-tier one.

He hoped it would drop the basic attributes he desperately needed.

Looking out, the opposite side was a Gobi desert and cracked mudflats, desolate beyond description.

There were no oceans, no ancient trees.

Only sparse weeds grew on the bare soil.

"Ding! Environmental data generated."

[Plane Tier: Eighth Tier]

[Geological Structure: Gobi 50%, Soil 40%, Wild Grass 10%]

[Living Organisms: None detected]

This was the first time Lin Feng had encountered such a bizarre ecosystem.

But since the system judged it as eighth-tier, he absolutely could not let his guard down.

The coordinates were all lit up on the map. He had to send a divine beast to scout the path.

"Azure Dragon!"

After some consideration, Lin Feng decided to appoint the Azure Dragon.

The Azure Dragon could spit heavenly thunder from a distance, making it the most suitable for firepower reconnaissance.

The phoenix could actually handle it too, but fire attacks couldn't burn the stones and gravel underground.

And the Tribulation Thunder could directly shatter the ground.

"I shall obey the Sovereign's decree!"

Upon receiving the divine oracle, the Azure Dragon soared from the heaven-reaching thunder tribulation tree, transforming into a bolt of azure lightning that shot straight toward the eighth-tier ruins.

"A Great Xia Divine Dragon?!"

As soon as the Azure Dragon appeared, Gu Ze almost bit off his tongue.

This was the supreme totem faith of the Great Xia Alliance! Lin Feng actually kept a living one!

Gu Ze naturally assumed that this must be military benefits issued to Lin Feng by the Imperial Capital United Front Zone.

He couldn't have guessed in his wildest dreams that this thing was a gift from the system's blind box.

Tang You beside him was also drooling with envy.

Even if the Tang Family was wealthy enough to rival a nation, they absolutely couldn't get a totem creature; the military controlled that more strictly than anything else.

"Lin Feng, can you let my Sprite Dragons go to the back row and give you a buff?" Tang You asked tentatively.

The Sprite Dragons at least had some dragon genes.

Although it was already so thin it was almost gone.

And these things could fly, so hiding in the back wouldn't cause trouble.

"Fine."

Lin Feng nodded. "Stay close to my main force, don't run around."

Soon, thousands of Sprite Dragons flapping their colorful wings flew into the clouds, following behind the Azure Dragon.

"Sovereign? What is this for?"

The Azure Dragon looked back, full of confusion.

"Ahem... friendly support, protect them a bit," Lin Feng coughed twice and instructed.

"Eh? They actually have some of my dragon bloodline, interesting..."

The Azure Dragon only then noticed that this group of flashy little flying dragons behind it actually exuded a hint of intimate, homologous aura.

The Azure Dragon didn't worry about it anymore and reached the area directly above the radar marker at full speed.

According to the system prompt, there was a sixth-tier crystal buried in the soil below.

"Azure Dragon, blast this patch of ground for me!" Lin Feng commanded decisively.

Don't be fooled by the calm surface.

If it could be rated as eighth-tier, there must be dirty things hidden underground that couldn't see the light.

The Azure Dragon opened its giant mouth, and thunder light gathered crazily.

The next second, a world-destroying, thick pillar of thunder slammed down, and the world instantly lost its color.

The violent power of thunder chiseled fiercely into the soil.

Instantly, a giant deep pit several hundred meters deep was blasted out!

At the bottom of the pit, it was densely packed with the remains of giant rats that had been blown to pieces.

There were indeed living things hidden down here.

"System, identify the monster species."

"Ding! Parsing complete..."

[Plague Giant Rat (Sixth Tier): Huge body, carries deadly ancient viruses. Pollutes all matter; once a living being is infected, death is certain.]

[Soul-Devouring Young Rat (Sixth Tier): Extremely small body, lives by absorbing souls, exceptionally sinister.]

[Plague Source (Seventh Tier): The ultimate evolutionary form of the Giant Rat, its bacterial destructive power increases exponentially, enough to destroy a micro-civilization.]

It was actually a nest of poisonous rats.

Lin Feng suddenly understood, finally realizing why this place was barren.

It must have been these plague rats that poisoned the original ecosystem to death.

Living things went extinct, buildings weathered, and it eventually turned into a bare Gobi.

Although this army of rats was sinister, they were completely no match for the seventh-tier Azure Dragon.

The Azure Dragon spat out Tribulation Thunder one after another, blasting the rat swarm underground until they were bloody and fleeing in panic.

Tang You was eager to show off, directing the Sprite Dragons to cast a weakness aura on the seventh-tier rat leader.

As a result, not only did it not weaken the enemy, it instead incited the violent ferocity of the rat swarm, making them run faster than rabbits.

As for adding attack power to the Azure Dragon?

A fifth-tier Sprite Dragon applying a buff to a seventh-tier totem, the effect was probably not as practical as the Azure Dragon sneezing itself.

A burst of frenzied bombing lasted for more than ten minutes.

The ground was forcibly flattened by over a thousand meters.

The crystal buried deep inside was finally exposed to the air.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Sixth-tier Wind Energy Core!"

After clearing this area, Lin Feng successfully pocketed the crystal. He prepared to move to the next coordinate.

Just at this moment.

"Ding! Detected that the Sprite Dragon tribe has developed a fanatical worship for the Azure Dragon, can be forcibly converted into exclusive believers of the Azure Dragon!"

"Huh?" Hearing the system prompt, Lin Feng was stunned on the spot.

"What's the situation?"

"Ding! Sprite Dragons can be seamlessly converted into the Azure Dragon's believer faction!"

Lin Feng was full of question marks: "The Sprite Dragons aren't even living creatures in my territory!"

"Ding! The harvesting of faith power is not constrained by the physical boundaries of the territory."

"After the Host ascends to a True God in the future, you can directly recruit other gods and incorporate them as subordinate vassal deities!"

Subordinate deities? Tang You?!

Hearing the system's in-depth explanation, Lin Feng fell into complete stagnation.
