“Run, run!”

In the primeval forest, three black lords, led by a group of Troops, fled frantically.

Occasionally looking back, the expressions on their faces were incredibly complex.

Anger, shock, fear... and despair.

“Those damned Sakura Country lords, they clearly had the strength to easily defeat the monsters, but they secretly lured us into discovering that awakening fruit forest. After we paid a huge price to clear out the monsters, they jumped out, wanting to snatch our victory fruits.”

One of them said indignantly.

“It’s no use talking so much now. Hassan and Salah sacrificed their Troops to cover our escape, and even they were kicked out of the instance. These Sakura Country lords are too strong.”

The only female lord among the three shook her head, her face showing undisguised pessimism.

She could feel that her Troops, who had fallen behind, had all been killed, and the enemy was about to catch up.

“Damn it!” Marais cursed inwardly.

They were lords from various African countries.

It took the combined strength of dozens of countries to barely secure five spots.

Those who could enter this Awakening Land instance were the five strongest young people on their continent.

But even so, they were crushed by a three-person team from the Sakura Country.

The gap between large and small countries was simply too vast.

If things continued like this, the remaining three of them would also be eliminated.

For them, not entering the Awakening God Pool and not gaining any personal benefits was not a big deal.

The awakening fruits in their hands were the most important thing.

The entire African continent did not have any large countries, and there was only one hegemonic country, the Pharaoh Country.

They also yearned for their country to become stronger.

Therefore, they would never give up until the very last moment; they had to escape to safety.

For their homeland!

Marais’s eyes became resolute.

“Someone’s ahead!” Just then, a fellow African lord suddenly pointed forward and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Marais immediately snapped back to reality and quickly looked ahead.

It was an Asian lord, and Marais felt a bit familiar with him.

She had caught a glimpse of this young man in the Dragon Country camp outside the Awakening Land instance.

Because the African nations were very weak, they had always clung to the Dragon Country’s coattails, and their relationship with the Dragon Country was quite good.

“I remember a total of ten Dragon Country lords came this time. If they help us, these Sakura Country lords won’t amount to anything.”

As soon as she thought of this, the gloom in Marais’s mind instantly dissipated, and she galloped towards the figure ahead without stopping.

Her two companions also understood and followed closely behind Marais.

In their opinion, although the Dragon Country lords wouldn't help them for free, they would at least leave them a portion of the awakening fruits and wouldn't kick them out of the instance.

However, those Sakura Country lords were chasing them with the intention of eliminating them completely.

“Friends from the Dragon Country, help!”

Li Feng heard the cry for help.

He was not surprised by this.

His Troops were scattered nearby, so he had discovered these three black lords a long time ago.

Their distinct clothing indicated that these three black lords were clearly from the African continent.

Before entering the instance, Wei Yan had already warned him.

When there were no conflicts of interest, the lords of the African continent were their allies.

One hundred meters, the three crossed it in an instant.

“Friends from the Dragon Country, the three of us are from the African continent. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I wonder where your companions are. We’ve encountered trouble and need your help.”

After Marais stopped, she spoke quickly.

Before Li Feng could answer, three more people, leading a large number of Troops, rushed over and surrounded all four, including Li Feng.

“They are the trouble you spoke of, aren’t they?”

Li Feng looked at the three Sakura Country lords not far away and said.

“That’s right, these three are all lords from the Sakura Country, and they are very powerful. Two of our companions have already been kicked out of the instance by them.”

Marais and her two companions looked at the Sakura Country lords, their eyes filled with hatred.

“Three little mice, why aren’t you running anymore?”

Kishimoto Suzuki looked at Marais and her two companions mockingly, then turned his gaze to Li Feng.

“What, do you three think you’ve found a backer and believe this young man can stop the three of us?”

By the end, the mockery on Kishimoto Suzuki’s face grew even stronger.

He had a slight impression of Li Feng.

Before entering the instance, the Sakura Country leader had repeatedly warned them to be careful of Li Feng.

He scoffed at this internally.

He had been a lord for five years, and for the past year, he had been exploring the uninhabited zone, rarely returning to Earth.

He had only heard of Li Feng, this rising star, but hadn't paid much attention to him.

In his opinion, he was just a newbie who had only been a lord for a month, not worth mentioning.

He completely ignored the leader’s repeated warnings.

“Friends from the Dragon Country, where are your companions? Hurry and call them over; we are no match for them.”

Marais urged Li Feng with an anxious expression.

The situation with the three of them was similar to Kishimoto Suzuki’s; they had been exploring the uninhabited zone for the past year or two and hadn't paid much attention to recent events on Earth.

The reason they were willing to stop was not because they thought Li Feng was powerful.

On the contrary, Li Feng’s youthful face made them think that the former was probably even weaker than them.

The profession of a lord was like that; it placed great importance on seniority.

Even a genius needed time to mature before becoming a revered powerhouse.

While speaking, Marais and her two companions kept looking around.

They yearned to see the figures of other Dragon Country lords.

“I’m separated from them. They’re not close to me, so they probably won’t be able to make it in a short time.” Li Feng shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Marais felt as if ten thousand alpacas were galloping in her heart.

Her mentality completely collapsed.

If she had known this, she would never have stopped, but would have continued to flee for her life.

“Friends from the Dragon Country, I’m sorry. We didn’t know you were alone. We’ve harmed you.”

Marais felt bitter, but still had to apologize to Li Feng.

The Dragon Country was an existence they absolutely could not offend.

Li Feng, being so young and able to enter the Awakening Land, was clearly a rising star highly valued by the Dragon Country.

If such a genius were to be eliminated prematurely because of them, their country’s high-ranking officials would certainly try every means to compensate.

Even though the three of them were also victims.

This was the sorrow of small countries.

“You three should have some gains, right? Hand over the awakening fruits you’ve obtained, and I’ll let you leave.”

Li Feng ignored the completely desperate Marais and her two companions, instead turning his gaze to Kishimoto Suzuki and his two companions.

He had just noticed that the six people who suddenly appeared all had a number above their heads, which represented the awakening fruits they had obtained.

The number above Marais’s head was an astonishing 32.

Although the numbers above the heads of the three Sakura Country lords were much smaller, they added up to 11.

Li Feng welcomed this kind of delivery service.

Upon hearing this, Kishimoto Suzuki and his two companions were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

“Kid, you’re really humorous. Do you really think you can defeat the three of us by yourself?”

“I advise you not to count on the three useless people next to you; their Troops probably have less than one-tenth left.”

Kishimoto Suzuki laughed.

“Is it that funny?” Li Feng’s eyes instantly turned cold.

Swish swish swish swish swish swish!
