Chapter 397: Talking About Working Together Again
Nevertheless, Gao Yukang choosing to work with Qin Feng was a stroke of brilliance!
Not only that, a group consisting of forty D-tier apt.i.tude users was a rare sight in Longchuan!
Beside the huge lake, trees had been toppled, the gra.s.s and flowers trampled. Gao Yukang and the others were still fighting the Water Drakon Emperor in the mess of things.
Three hours pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye!
“Hressk…”
The Water Drakon Emperor let out a long, drawn out roar as it unwillingly collapsed to the ground.
Boom!
With such a huge body cras.h.i.+ng down onto the ground, the impact would still give those around it a little scare.
Gao Yukang’s mercenary troop burst into smiles at the same time. While there had been no cheering, their joy was beyond words.
It had been a thrilling experience and the end result was a good one.
They took down a beast emperor level beast.
At this time, Gao Yukang was already out of energy. By now, his internal force was depleted and he even used a lot of pills to support himself. The battle was finally over!
“Split the materials and get ready to fall back!”
Gao Yukang waved his hand, then sat down cross-legged as he tried to revert his internal force to its original state.
Qin Feng also gave an order, telling his gunners to spread out and guard the perimeter to prevent ultra beasts from coming in to hara.s.s them.
Thanks to the tears from the tear flower, no ultra beast approached them.
It was going very smoothly.
After half an hour, Gao Yukang and his team had already broken down the materials of the beast emperor.
“Qin Feng, do you plan to get money or some beast materials?” Gao Yukang asked.
“100 billion power credits and 50 billions worth of materials. I want Dragon Blood!”
Water Drakon blood was still Dragon Blood. It was usually expensive material but since it was difficult to maintain the Drakon Blood’s effect so it was not as expensive. Gao Yukang also gave him some meat and a dragon scale that could probably be made into inner armor.
Qin Feng was naturally satisfied.
Both parties had benefited together.
The Fengli Mercenary Troop began to retreat. In this battle, most people on the team had received money instead of materials. For them, some of these materials were no longer useful for them!
Qin Feng gave them 1 billion each, which definitely counted as a lot of money!
“It’s nice following a strong leader, I feel like I didn’t do anything!”
“Yeah! I thought we were going to fight Leitang!”
“Huh, I wonder if it would be called a fight? The boss killed Xue Jinkuang after all!”
Everyone was obviously satisfied with the current situation. The shadows that originally hung over the heads of these mutants had been mostly dispelled because of this mission.
Success always brought laughter.
After wading through rivers and crossing mountains for three days, everyone finally reached the frontline’s fortress, which was close to the guard post on the Longchuan Mountains’ front line. The closest place to them would be Longchuan’s third colony.
It was not very big, definitely not as big as Fengli and was smaller than Han Town when Qin Feng first encountered it.
While there were not many people here, these people were all elites.
Inadvertently, even a B-tier apt.i.tude user could be seen.
Naturally, with these people around, it meant that there was a large number of service staff, so the place was not deserted.
When Qin Feng and the others arrived on the main road near the fortress, they got into their hover copters and went to a hotel. For the past few days, there was not a place to take a bath in and the stench of blood was still on their bodies which was definitely not good.
Once they were cleaned up, everyone began to relax.
Those who wanted a drink were ordering from the top shelf, some just crawled under a bed and slept like logs.
However, Qin Feng was studying a map!
The environment of the Longchuan Mountains was quite complicated, but it had a large amount of ultra beasts hidden within it!
He could effortlessly challenge beast kings, all he needed to do was find them.
The combined efforts of Bai Li and Qin Feng made it easy for them to fight D-tier beast kings but it also made some people green with envy.
He could not just kill his compet.i.tors in the wild either. Otherwise, the Human Alliance would try to investigate it.
Lei Ying did such a thing everytime, but he never killed anyone. Just horribly injured them.
Qin Feng thought about it for a while before picking up his communicator, dialing Gao Yukang’s number.
“Governor! Let’s talk about the next time we’ll be working together!” Qin Feng said in a brisk manner.
Gao Yukang was lying in bed, feeling very tired. This kind of battle exhausted a lot of his energy, just this one fight and he might need to rest for a week!
Upon hearing Qin Feng’s words, he was taken aback!
“Next time? I’m not even ready right now, I think I need a break. Besides, a more suitable beast emperor is probably already gone!”
There were some beast emperors that had a whole brood of children!
That was the kind of horror that should not be provoked and Gao Yukang did not plan to do anything about them.
But, he definitely misunderstood what Qin Feng meant.
“What I meant was, I’ll be the main force this time. I hope that you could be the one to help out and scare off compet.i.tors, Governor Gao!”
Gao Yukang suddenly had a shocked expression.
“Qin Feng, if you slay beast kings, I don’t think you’d be able to even pay for me appearing!”
“What? Kill beast kings? I can take on those kinds of monsters without anyone’s help!”
Gao Yukang was speechless for a moment, even as a C-tier, a D-tier beast king strength meant that they were not something that he could take down alone but when Qin Feng said it with such a casual manner, it made it seem easy.
What Gao Yukang thought was incredible was Qin Feng’s answer.
“You want to kill beast emperors?”
“Yup!”
“What’s the goal?”
“How about the Ivory Crown Emperor?”*
Gao Yukang almost laughed at Qin Feng.
“You’re kidding right?”
“Do I look like I’m joking?”
Gao Yukang helplessly furrowed his brow. “I need to think about it. I’ll give an answer later, not to mention, even if I wanted to kill the Ivory Crown Emperor, I need a whole week to recover!”
“No problem!”
Qin Feng replied before both their communicators hung up.
A few days later, Gao Yukang still had not replied to Qin Feng’s invitation. Qin Feng was not in a hurry, taking his mercenary troop into the mountains to fight ultra beasts every day.
Compared to the other D-tiers in Longchuan Colony Three, the Fengli Mercenary Troop was a bit too diligent!
Continuous, highly intense fights at the start of every day and coming back with large amounts of materials every time. People found it incredible!
Although these materials might just be from standard D-tier ultra beasts, a small amount would acc.u.mulate into more and more. The speed of which the group was making money was astounding.
Of course, if the other groups tried, they definitely would not be able to do it!
The members of the Fengli Mercenary Troop had no concerns about their situation. They came from the frontline of Shadong Town, a place where a crisis could occur at any moment. They were all people who fought desperately to defend it when it was in danger. Even if they did not leave the town, ultra beasts would come knocking at their door and force them to fight.
The current intensity of combat was nothing to them.
In just a week, the wealth of each individual Fengli Mercenary Troop member had increased to several hundred millions.
“Governor Gao, have you made your decision about my invitation to work together again?” Qin Feng once again communicated face to face with Gao Yukang.
Gao Yukang furrowed his brow and in the end, he shook his head and said, “This Ivory Crown Emperor business, I think it’s impossible! I cannot agree!”
Translator’s Note: ‘Ivory Crown Emperor’ in the original text refers to an elephant-like ultra beast.
