Chapter 686 Zhou Xuanwu

w.a.n.g Teng cut open the Three-eyed Suanni Lion’s head with a flying dagger and took out a glowing skull. It looked divine.

It was a star bone.

w.a.n.g Teng didn’t ask the metal armor flaming scorpion to take this star bone. He did it personally. He had already noticed that this star bone was extraordinary. It didn’t possess any element. Instead, it was a spiritual element star bone.

w.a.n.g Teng released his Force and pushed it into the skull. As expected, he felt his spiritual power increasing. This was the special ability of this star bone. w.a.n.g Teng’s spiritual power was already very powerful. If he used this skull, he would be able to increase his spiritual power by a certain amount. During special circ.u.mstances, this would be crucial.

This is good stuff!

He was elated. He kept the skull and the corpse of the Three-eyed Suanni Lion and sat down cross-legged on a big tree. He waited for the metal armor flaming scorpion and Little White to come back.

An hour later, the scorpion and crow duo returned. The metal armor flaming scorpion pa.s.sed a s.p.a.ce ring to w.a.n.g Teng. w.a.n.g Teng had given it to them before they left.

“Master, the items are all inside.” The metal armor flaming scorpion fawned on w.a.n.g Teng.

w.a.n.g Teng scanned the s.p.a.ce ring with his spiritual power. He was elated. As an alchemist, he knew that these herbs were precious and rare herbs. He didn’t expect the metal armor flaming scorpion to give him such a huge surprise. “Not bad!” w.a.n.g Teng patted the metal armor flaming scorpion’s back as he complimented it.

He took out a fire element star core and threw it out.

“Take it. This is your reward.”

The metal armor flaming scorpion was delighted. It swallowed the star core immediately, and a red light flashed on its body.

It stored the fire element star core in its body and would digest it slowly, absorbing the energy inside to raise its ability.

“Haha, look. My position in Master’s heart is getting higher. I’m catching up.” The metal armor flaming scorpion smiled at Little White proudly.

“Caw caw caw… (Despicable. Master don’t like you!)” Little White cawed in anger. It pecked the scorpion with its beak.

Cling clang!

Only sparks were formed when Little White pecked the scorpion. After all, it had metal armor.

“No pain, no pain. It’s not painful at all.” The metal armor flaming scorpion teased. “Caw…” Little White flapped its wings angrily, creating a gale. It suddenly pecked at the scorpion’s eyes.

“Oh my G.o.d, you’re doing it for real?!” The metal armor flaming scorpion jumped in fright. It ran around w.a.n.g Teng to evade Little White’s attack.

Little White didn’t dare to create trouble in front of w.a.n.g Teng, so it landed on the ground and chased the metal armor flaming scorpion indignantly.

“Alright, alright, stop playing around. We should leave now.” w.a.n.g Teng shook his head helplessly and stopped their fight.

He headed to the metal armor flaming scorpion’s old nest and stored all the emeralds in the s.p.a.ce fragment. He took everything he could.

These emeralds had given birth to the Emerald Glazed Flame. They were a precious ingredient, so they mustn’t be wasted.

w.a.n.g Teng swept the nest of the metal armor flaming scorpion clean.

Nothing was left!

At night, Song Wanjiang, Zhu Chengw.a.n.g, and the other deputy commanders on the rune battlecraft started to get agitated. They kept pacing around the deck.

“Where’s the chief commander? Why isn’t he back?” Song Wanjiang frowned. “We’re not the only ones partic.i.p.ating in this mission. There are two other troops. They’re on their way and want to discuss the mission plan with us. However, our chief commander isn’t here. What should we do?” Zhu Chengw.a.n.g said worriedly. “How would I know? Our chief commander is a little unique. You know that,” Song Wanjiang said angrily.

“There will be more situations like this in the future,” Zhu Chengw.a.n.g shook his head and said.

Kang Wenbo and the other deputy commanders smiled bitterly.

Was it alright for them to talk about their chief commander behind his back?

“What’s so important?” A voice sounded in the night sky in front of them.

“Huh!” The deputy commanders froze.

They turned their necks stiffly and looked at w.a.n.g Teng who had appeared on the deck. They were astounded. Their heads turned numb, and their faces paled.

Kang Wenbo and the other deputy commanders’ expressions became strange. They wanted to laugh, but they didn’t dare to.

It wasn’t easy to see this expression on Zhu Chengw.a.n.g and Song Wanjiang.

These two fellows were asking for death. Weren’t they afraid that w.a.n.g Teng would give them a hard time for overstepping their boundaries?

“Chief… Chief Commander, listen to our explanation!” Song Wanjiang and Zhu Chengw.a.n.g stuttered. They felt that they could still be saved.

“Alright, I’ll listen to your explanation. I thought I heard something about me being a little unique,” w.a.n.g Teng smiled and replied calmly. “Haha, Chief Commander, you must have heard wrong. Why would we say that? You’re brilliant and powerful, smart and exceptional. No one can be compared to you.” Cold sweat appeared on Song Wanjiang’s forehead. He nudged Zhu Chengw.a.n.g. “Don’t you think so?”

“Yes, that’s what we said. Chief Commander, you must have heard wrong.” Zhu Chengw.a.n.g nodded in agreement.

Kang Wenbo and the others almost burst out laughing. These two people had no dignity.

w.a.n.g Teng’s expression turned strange. These two deputy commanders had a strong desire to survive. But was he so scary? Did they have to be so terrified of him? “Alright, tell me, what happened? What’s so urgent?” w.a.n.g Teng shook his head and asked. Song Wanjiang and Zhu Chengw.a.n.g heaved a sigh of relief. Wiping the cold sweat on their foreheads, one of them said, “Chief Commander, two other troops will be partic.i.p.ating in this mission too. They wish to discuss the plan with us.”

“Two other troops?” w.a.n.g Teng frowned slightly. “Why didn’t anyone inform me?”

“We were just notified too. It should be a last-minute decision,” Song Wanjiang replied.

“Alright, inform them to start the meeting.” w.a.n.g Teng walked towards the command room on the battlecraft.

“Yes!” The others followed hurriedly.

In the command room.

Everyone gathered around a long table. There were two figures on the screen in front of them.

One of them was w.a.n.g Teng’s old friend, the chief commander of the Crimson Tiger Troop, Xiao Nanfeng. The other was a middle-aged man with a masculine face. He was the chief commander of the Xuanwu Troop, Zhou Xuanwu.

The Xuanwu Troop was bigger than the Crimson Tiger and the Black Sparrow Troop. The Darkland dimensional rift they guarded was extremely dangerous. The number of dark apparitions there was greater than any other dimensional rifts, and they were much stronger too. Hence, the chief commander of the Xuanwu Troop had to have appropriate strength to hold down the fort. Only 13-star high-tier general-stage martial warriors could secure this position.

Zhou Xuanwu was a top-cla.s.s general-stage martial warrior!

When these two saw w.a.n.g Teng through the screen many kilometers away, Xiao Nanfeng was flabbergasted and frustrated. His expression was extremely interesting.

When did this brat take control of the Black Sparrow Troop? This question was stuck in his mind. He couldn’t think of a reason.

Zhou Xuanwu was surprised too. He crossed his fingers and placed them on the table, sizing up w.a.n.g Teng with his sharp gaze. This chief commander of the Black Sparrow Troop… was a little young!
