86: See the ruins again
Seeing someone enter, Mu Feng's expression remained unchanged.
He still walked unhurriedly towards the Vermillion Fruit vines.
Under the gaze of over a dozen pairs of eyes, he carefully placed them one by one into his Storage Pouch.
After collecting them, he deliberately revealed that he had three Storage Pouches.
That's right.
Mu Feng planned a fishing expedition.
His bottom line was not to actively kill people.
But if the other party, relying on their numbers, harbored ill intentions and wanted to kill him and seize his treasures, then it was none of his business.
It just so happened that his ranking was behind.
He would use these people to catch up.
"Holy cow, it's Senior Mu Feng!"
Just as Mu Feng was thinking about the other party causing him trouble, someone in the crowd suddenly called out his name.
"Senior Mu Feng? Where, where!"
"It really is!"
"Holy cow, Senior Mu Feng in person is even more handsome than in his avatar!"
"Senior, I'm your fan! Please sign an autograph for me!"
After someone reminded them, the team members also realized that the person picking Vermillion Fruits in front of them was Mu Feng himself.
They were immediately surprised and began discussing animatedly.
Several people even took out Yellow Talisman Paper and a Wolf Hair Brush, asking him to sign them.
It was completely different from the tense atmosphere Mu Feng had imagined.
Instead, it was like a large-scale idol-fan meeting.
Goodness, when did I get so many fans?
Mu Feng scratched his head, feeling a little awkward.
He had just been planning to scheme against these people.
But with their reaction, it made him seem very manipulative.
Even with his thick skin, he felt a bit embarrassed.
"Ahem, hello everyone!"
Mu Feng coughed twice to ease the awkwardness.
Don't ask, just assume he's socially anxious.
"Am I dreaming? Senior Mu Feng actually greeted us, without any airs at all!"
"Hello, Senior Mu Feng, my name is Lin Jie, and I'm your fan. Senior, you're amazing, you actually dealt with that Chi Yan Meow by yourself!"
"Exactly, exactly. I was wondering who was so impressive, daring to act alone in this Great Secret Realm. Once I saw it was Senior Mu Feng, then it's no big deal."
"This must be the Puppet Lizard mentioned on the leaderboard, it's so cool!"
"It looks so cute, I really want to pet it."
Seeing Mu Feng greet them, several people were flattered.
They scrambled to introduce themselves.
The girls, on the other hand, had a special fondness for Little Lizard.
If they weren't afraid of being rude, they would have wanted to go up and touch it.
Little Lizard's appearance was adorably cute.
Its appeal to girls was immense, almost stealing his owner's thunder.
"Which area are you all from?"
"Also, who is your team leader?"
When they were outside the valley, Mu Feng heard them call someone "Big Brother."
But after entering, everyone enthusiastically greeted him.
Mu Feng temporarily didn't know who their leader was.
"Hello, Senior, we are from the same area as you. My name is Fu Dabiao, and I am the leader of our team."
Among the crowd, a refined-looking young man stepped forward.
Mu Feng was stunned.
"Your name is Dabiao?"
This name and the person give off completely different vibes.
You're supposed to be Dabiao, why are you so refined-looking?
"I was a premature baby, weighing only a little over a pound when I was born. My parents named me Dabiao so I would grow up strong."
After Fu Dabiao finished speaking, the team members all laughed.
Clearly, they all knew the origin of Fu Dabiao's name.
Fu Dabiao wasn't annoyed by being laughed at by everyone.
It was evident that the atmosphere within their team was good.
Although Fu Dabiao was the leader, he didn't put on any airs.
"I see."
"I'm really sorry."
Knowing the origin of the name, Mu Feng felt a bit presumptuous.
A name that carried his parents' hopes shouldn't be made fun of.
"It's fine, I'm already used to it."
Fu Dabiao waved his hand, not minding it.
"By the way, Senior, did you call me for something you needed to instruct?"
"Nothing, it's just that this place was discovered by you first..."
Before Mu Feng could finish speaking, Fu Dabiao waved his hand to interrupt.
"Senior, you don't need to feel embarrassed. This is originally ownerless land, how can there be such a thing as getting there first!"
"It's true that we discovered it first, but there's a Qi Refining tenth-level Yao Beast guarding it, and it won't be easy to take down this tough bone."
"So those Spirit Fruits are what you deserve, Senior."
"All the members of our team are your fans, and we're already very happy just to see you, Senior."
After Fu Dabiao finished speaking, his teammates behind him also chimed in.
"That's right, that's right."
"Dabiao is right, Senior, you don't need to feel embarrassed."
Actually, I'm not embarrassed at all, Mu Feng thought to himself.
However, seeing everyone so enthusiastic, he ultimately didn't say it out loud.
"Alright, since everyone says so, I won't be pretentious anymore."
"How about this, I still have a few Qing Ling Pills here, consider them a small gift for everyone."
Seeing that they were all his adoring fans, Mu Feng ultimately couldn't bring himself to just leave.
He took out three Qing Ling Pills and gave them to them.
Finally, under the flattered gazes of Fu Dabiao and the others, Mu Feng left the valley with Little Lizard.
Sigh, the burden of being an idol is deadly.
Never again, never again.
However, these people were from the same area as him.
To meet in such a vast place could be considered their Opportunity.
Giving them some Medicinal Pills, Mu Feng felt, was fine.
It would increase the competitiveness of their area.
After all, this Nationwide Great Secret Realm not only had individual points but also area points.
Although he didn't expect to make it into the top hundred, if he encountered them, helping them within his capabilities was no big deal.
Thinking this, Mu Feng no longer hesitated.
He took out the Vermillion Fruits he had just picked from his Storage Pouch and put them into his Storage Ring.
This time, he had picked a total of six Vermillion Fruits.
These things were quite valuable.
Each one was worth ten points.
It was better to keep them all in the Storage Ring.
He glanced at his points.
"Name: Mu Feng.186"
"Points: 108"
"Ranking: 30 million +"
He had already risen to over thirty million in rank.
The speed was quite fast.
With a few more Opportunities, he believed he could quickly catch up to the first echelon.
"You are lucky. Five hundred meters ahead, there is a ruin. Inside, there are treasures you desire, but the premise is that you can break the Restriction there."
Just as he was thinking of an Opportunity, a red prompt appeared before his eyes.
"Ruin!"
Mu Feng's eyes lit up.
Based on his many exploration experiences, ruins usually contained many treasures.
He immediately walked in the direction indicated by the red prompt.
Before long, Mu Feng arrived in front of a dilapidated altar.
The altar was not large.
Inside, it enshrined Yao Beast patterns that Mu Feng couldn't understand.
The altar was surrounded by stones.
To enter, one first had to break the light barrier at the entrance.
Mu Feng took out the Array Secrets and compared it, but found that there was no record of the light barrier's pattern on it.
It seemed it wasn't a Formation, but a Restriction to prevent others from entering.
"Alright, it seems I can only break it by force."
He had originally wanted to see if there was a solution in the Array Secrets to save some effort.
Now it seemed he could only break it with force.
Mu Feng chanted an incantation.
A silver battle flag immediately appeared in his hand.
The battle flag fluttered in the wind.
As his magical power was infused, the two azure dragons on the flag immediately came to life.
