23: Meet the Players

This was a purple manufacturing blueprint, with a pair of boots drawn on it.

Mu Feng opened it to take a look.

System Prompt: Do you want to learn the Advanced Magical Artifact Cloud Stepping Boots Manufacturing Blueprint?

Advanced Magical Artifact?

And it’s a pair of boots!

Mu Feng was overjoyed.

“Learn!”

Cloud Stepping Boots: Silverback Demon Wolf Skin 1/1, iron essence 5/0, warm jade 3/0, wind spirit stone 2/0, soul 2/6.

A total of five Materials were needed.

Among them, besides the Silverback Demon Wolf’s skin and soul which Mu Feng had, he didn’t have any of the remaining three items.

“I wonder if anyone is selling them on the Transaction Channel.”

“I’ll go back and check later.”

iron essence, warm jade, and wind spirit stone.

He had never even heard of them.

It seemed it wouldn't be easy to gather them all.

Forget it, don’t think so much.

First, gather the other things in the Immortal Cave.

When Mu Feng had just come to get the treasure chest, he found some Spiritual Plants growing in the corner behind the treasure chest.

He immediately walked over.

Just as he was about to pick them, footsteps suddenly came from behind him.

He turned his head and saw that three people had arrived here.

They were two men and one woman.

The two men were in their early thirties or forties, one tall and thin with a scar on his Face, looking fierce.

One was slightly fat, with a square Face.

The woman was younger, about twenty, heavily made up, with a curvy figure.

The three of them held Beginner Flying Swords and had been exploring their way here.

Upon seeing Mu Feng, they paused, evidently not expecting to encounter another person here.

“Mu Feng!”

The woman recognized Mu Feng, the celebrity of 186 Area, at a glance.

She had obviously seen Mu Feng's avatar.

“He is Mu Feng!”

Her companions were also slightly surprised when they heard her call out Mu Feng’s name.

In 186 Area, the person with the most momentum these past two days, besides the Heavenly Spiritual Root holder, was Mu Feng.

Especially after learning that Mu Feng could independently kill a Yao Beast in an Immortal Cave, many people respected and feared him.

“Brother Hao, what should we do?”

The woman turned her head and quietly asked the tall scar-faced man.

The square-faced middle-aged man also turned to look at him.

Clearly, he was the leader of this three-person team.

The scar-faced man named Brother Hao did not speak, squinting at Mu Feng, seemingly calculating something.

Mu Feng saw this, and though his expression didn't change.

He secretly gave orders to Little Lizard, telling it to lie in ambush and wait for an opportunity.

If these three were sensible enough to leave now, he wouldn't make things difficult for them.

But if they had ill intentions, he wouldn't mind keeping all of them here.

“You must be Mu Feng, I’ve heard a lot about you!”

“My name is Zhang Hao.”

“These are Zhou Kai and Liu Mei.”

“Meeting is fate, why don’t we unite and form a team to explore? This way it’s not only safer but also more efficient, and all the Materials we obtain will be equally divided!”

The scar-faced Zhang Hao spoke, showing goodwill.

To be more convincing, Zhang Hao continued, “We have already explored six Cave Secret Realms, our speed is three times that of a single person. If you join, I think our speed can be even faster, so even if we divide equally, we’ll still get more Materials than those who act alone!”

“Moreover, with more people acting together, even if we encounter a Yao Beast, there’s no need to fear. Look, this is the Rock Earth Sheep we just killed!”

Mu Feng had sold a large number of Bigu Pills these past two days, so they guessed that he must have mastered the Pill Formula for Bigu Pills.

As long as they pulled Mu Feng into their group, they could directly solve the food problem.

They might even get a share from him then.

“As long as you’re willing to be with us, I can even make the decision to let Liu Mei sleep with you every night, her skills are very good, you know!”

Zhang Hao raised an eyebrow at Mu Feng, showing an expression that all men understood.

“Sorry, I’m not interested!”

Seeing that he was about to say more, Mu Feng directly interrupted him.

Zhang Hao’s conditions were very attractive to ordinary people.

But for Mu Feng, it was simply laughable.

“Not joining? Why not? Isn’t it safer for everyone to work together?” Upon being rejected by Mu Feng, Zhang Hao’s Face instantly darkened.

The Flying Sword in his hand was also vaguely aimed at Mu Feng.

The threat was clearly evident.

This made Mu Feng sneer incessantly.

“Not interested means not interested.”

“Mu Feng, don’t be ungrateful, Brother Hao kindly inviting you to join is giving you Face!”

“Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”

Seeing Mu Feng refuse, before Zhang Hao could speak, the one named Zhou Kai spoke first.

“We know you’re powerful, but if we all attack together, I’m afraid you won’t stand a chance!”

“Be sensible, either join us, or…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was already very clear.

“Or what?”

Mu Feng asked, knowing full well.

Others might fear being outnumbered, but with his many treasures, he wasn’t afraid at all.

In fact, Mu Feng felt that even if he didn’t act, Little Lizard alone could take care of all of them.

He didn’t believe that the three of them combined could be stronger than an Azure Water Crocodile.

“Or you leave half of your belongings behind, otherwise don’t blame us for being impolite!” Zhang Hao said.

After speaking, he waved his hand and moved to surround Mu Feng, his expression full of ill intent.

At this point, the meaning was already very clear.

Among the three, the woman named Liu Mei, though silent, also followed the two men’s movements to encircle Mu Feng.

Their coordinated actions suggested they had done this many times before.

“Only half?”

Mu Feng had a playful look on his Face.

“Yes, only half. We are all the same kind, as long as you are willing to leave half of your resources, we can spare your life!”

Zhang Hao nodded.

He knew that Mu Feng had the ability to kill Yao Beasts, and if possible, he didn't want to provoke Mu Feng.

Now, seeing Mu Feng speak, he thought he had softened.

“I’m not greedy, but unfortunately…”

Mu Feng shook his head.

“Unfortunately what?” Zhou Hao asked.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have the habit of giving things to others!”

“Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. If you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened.” Mu Feng sneered.

“Hahaha, kid, are you out of your mind?”

“You don’t seem to understand the situation!”

The few people laughed heartily.

They seemed to have heard something very funny.

“Very well!”

Mu Feng’s gaze turned cold.

“Then all of you can go to hell!”

After speaking.

With a wave of his hand.

The Puppet Lizard, which had already been waiting for an opportunity, rushed out.

It charged towards Zhou Kai, who was closest to it.

His attention had been on Mu Feng all along.

He had no idea that there was a Puppet Lizard hidden nearby.

Zhou Kai, completely unprepared, was directly hit full-on.

The Little Lizard’s single horn had immense impact power; even the highly defensive Azure Water Crocodile couldn't withstand it.

Let alone Zhou Kai, who was made of flesh and blood.

A direct frontal impact created a large hole in Zhou Kai’s stomach.

His intestines spilled out onto the ground.

Blood splattered all over Liu Mei, who was standing nearby.

This terrifying scene directly made her legs go weak with fright.

After a long moment.

“Ah…”

A shrill scream echoed through the Immortal Cave!

The sudden change happened too quickly!

Zhou Hao didn't expect Mu Feng’s strength to be so great.

In just one encounter, he had lost a major subordinate.

And he didn’t even know how Mu Feng had done it.

Extreme fear caused his adrenaline to surge.

Regardless of what had rushed out, he directly grabbed Liu Mei next to him and threw her at the dark shadow, then turned his head and ran!

His decisiveness caught Mu Feng a bit off guard!

Unfortunately.

In the Face of absolute strength, even trying to escape was a luxury!
