146: The one who knows you best is often your enemy.
“Should I snatch this BOSS?”
Li Feng looked at the BOSS, whose health was critically low, and his eyes gleamed.
An Epic-grade BOSS, upon defeat, would grant a large amount of gold, massive experience points, and a Diamond Treasure Chest.
If his luck wasn't bad, he could open top-tier resources and treasures from the Diamond Treasure Chest.
There was even a good chance of getting a War Treasure or a Lord Skill Book.
Thinking of this, Li Feng couldn't help but feel eager to try.
But when his gaze fell upon the Troops besieging the BOSS, this idea was immediately extinguished.
The Troops of the other Lords had already been largely depleted during the siege of the BOSS.
It could be seen that the original millions of Troops, which had covered the sky and Earth, now numbered less than a million, roughly one-third of their previous strength.
However, what truly made Li Feng wary were Akayera and the other two geniuses from the Middle World.
Each of them commanded one hundred thousand Ninth-grade Troops.
Even with some losses during the BOSS siege, the three combined still had around two hundred thousand Ninth-grade Troops.
In contrast, Li Feng only had twenty-five thousand Ninth-grade Troops under his command.
The Hell Ghost Worm King, as an Eighth-grade summoned Troops, had a real combat power comparable to Ninth-grade Troops.
But even so, his Ninth-grade combat power was only seventy-five thousand.
Yet, the other three possessed two hundred thousand Ninth-grade combat power.
Not only that, but Li Feng also discovered during the BOSS siege that each of the three actually possessed a Mythical Troops.
Li Feng estimated that these three Mythical Troops were at least Fifth-grade or even Sixth-grade.
Once a battle began, Li Feng's side, both Troops and heroes, would be at a complete disadvantage.
“Forget it, forget it. A small impatience can ruin a great plan. I believe the True God's inheritance they spoke of must be even more important.”
Li Feng secretly comforted himself.
But this self-comfort was clearly very forced. Looking at the BOSS's rapidly decreasing health, his heart grew more and more restless.
There was nothing he could do; he only knew a tiny bit of information from the three of them.
He had no idea what the True God's inheritance actually was.
“What exactly is a True God? To be able to make a race with hundreds of gods covet it, sending out the geniuses of their race to seek the so-called inheritance.”
“Ah!”
Just as Li Feng was lost in thought, a shrill scream rang out.
Li Feng quickly collected his thoughts and looked towards the center of the battlefield.
The BOSS's health bar had been completely depleted.
Its massive corpse, like a collapsing mountain of gold and a toppling jade pillar, crashed to the ground with a thunderous roar, causing the Earth to tremble violently.
Like a magnitude ten earthquake, terrifying cracks, resembling a spiderweb, spread out in all directions from the BOSS's center.
The Earth was torn open with massive gashes, which showed a tendency to continually expand.
A miraculous scene occurred: the BOSS's corpse transformed into a shower of crystalline light, scattering across the ravaged ground.
The cracks continuously shrank and disappeared, and even the previous battle marks were erased one by one.
After a short while, the Earth returned to its original state.
If it weren't for the crystal treasure chest standing where the BOSS's corpse had been, it would seem as if no battle had ever taken place here.
“According to the rules, the Crystal Treasure Chest is yours. You can decide how to distribute it yourselves,” Akayera said indifferently, only glancing at the Crystal Treasure Chest before looking away.
For him, only the Mythical Treasure Chest dropped after a Mythical-grade BOSS's death could attract him.
A Crystal Treasure Chest?
He didn't know how many he had already opened.
Silver Blood and Shuang Wuhen were the same.
The three watched the Earth Lords eagerly rushing forward, a hint of disdain flashing in their eyes.
Barbarians are barbarians, they haven't seen the world!
“Should we make a move?” Just then, Akayera received a look from Silver Blood.
“The inheritance has not yet been seen, the mountain path is long, and there might be other dangers. It is not advisable to fight among ourselves,” Akayera also returned a look.
As the saying goes, the one who understands you best is often your enemy.
Akayera and Silver Blood were just like that.
Therefore, with just a single glance, both understood the message the other was conveying.
This was something Shuang Wuhen didn't know, otherwise he would never have traveled with the two.
The two understood tacitly and withdrew their gazes, then began a mode of mutual mockery to confuse Shuang Wuhen.
Seeing this, a smile flashed in Shuang Wuhen's obsidian-like eyes.
This was exactly what he wanted; the more tension there was between the two, the happier he was.
However, on the surface, he still acted as a mediator between them, resolving their conflict with a few words.
“Gentlemen, the road ahead is long. Before we see the True God's inheritance, we three need to work together with one heart. Now that the BOSS has been dealt with, we can continue forward.”
Seeing that the two were no longer arguing, Shuang Wuhen quickly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Silver Blood nodded and said, “Indeed, we should continue forward. Killing this BOSS took us a full day, and there are only three days left until the Awakening Land closes.”
Akayera's face showed a hint of mockery, “Isn't it because your Troops and heroes are too useless, dragging us down? Otherwise, we would have defeated the BOSS long ago, why would it drag on until now?”
Silver Blood was furious, “Akayera, do you want to die?”
Akayera sneered, not showing any weakness, “It's not certain who will live and who will die!”
Seeing this, Shuang Wuhen was secretly delighted, but on his face, he showed a troubled expression and quickly tried to persuade the two in a kind tone.
With great difficulty, the two finally stopped arguing.
“Let's go up the mountain.” After speaking, Shuang Wuhen led the way towards the mountain path and stone steps, fearing that the two would continue to argue.
Seeing this, Akayera and Silver Blood exchanged glances, a hint of mockery flashing in both their eyes...
