Chapter 945: Besieged by Ultra Beasts

After digging up a certain amount of ice blocks, they planned to transport a portion back first so that the others could start off building the base.

“I will go back alone. Master Hu, stay here and protect them.” Qin Feng volunteered.

“Okay.” It was a good idea. Hu San would not get lost and he was the only one not afraid of the monsters lurking out there.

Qin Feng carried almost a hundred pieces of spatial equipment with him and returned using the route where they came from.

He did not face any trouble on his way back. By possessing both wind and ice-type abilities, the storm on Dragon Island would not affect Qin Feng one bit.

Qin Feng moved hastily and reached the base in less than five minutes. He did not approach the camp with his puppet to avoid stirring unnecessary panic. Instead, he parked his puppet about a hundred meters away and got back on foot.

When he was near the camp, he saw a carca.s.s surrounded by several apt.i.tude users. They were dissecting it.

“Were we ambushed?” Qin Feng asked.

Nangong Zeming answered him, “Just a small wolf. Must be separated from the pack. But even this young wolf is an A-tier ultra beast emperor. Your subordinate did well. He killed it quickly as soon as we spotted it.”

Qin Feng looked toward w.a.n.g Chen. He was still riding the mecha and was talking to the others through the built-in speaker.

Those surrounding him were all A-tiers. They no longer looked down on him. In fact, the A-tiers seemed a little wary when talking to w.a.n.g Chen.

Qin Feng took out the ice block and asked them to begin laying out the foundation. He then pa.s.sed them the adhesive specifically designed by Fengli’s research department.

They wished to build a temporary main hall, then s.h.i.+eld it with four city walls. Since they did not expect to house a lot of visitors, for the time being, they would only build a base the size of an athletic stadium.

As everyone got busy, Qin Feng immediately dialed w.a.n.g Chen’s communicator after the signal transmitter was set up.

“What did you do?”

“Nothing spectacular. These people are not convinced that I should be selected as one of the persons-in-charge here. So when the ultra beast came over, I fired a blast at maximum charge.”

The one-and-only mecha produced by Fengli, though was called A-tier mecha, was actually more destructive than an A-tier apt.i.tude user as long as it was not dismantled by the enemy.

A blast at maximum charge was probably equivalent to an all-out attack by an A9-tier apt.i.tude user. Furthermore, such an attack had a low cool-down time and could easily be reloaded in five minutes. All it required was the crystal core of an A-tier beast king.

After w.a.n.g Chen killed the ultra beast, he got an ultra beast emperor crystal core in return. One king’s core for an emperor’s core was a lucrative exchange.

“Great job.” Qin Feng knew w.a.n.g Chen would not disappoint. That was the reason he had brought him along to the Aether Realm.

Qin Feng then unloaded his spatial equipment and unloaded the black boxes in it. These black boxes underwent some erratic transformation and turned into droids.

These C-tier droids were no good for combat. But after being inputted with commands, they could carry out the a.s.signed tasks tirelessly. Qin Feng pa.s.sed over the authority of the droids to w.a.n.g Chen before he got going again.

Qin Feng had three thousand such robots in the Blood River Realm. Though he only brought over three hundred pieces this time, his robot army was clearly the more useful laborer than those C-tiers, who could not stay inside the realm for an extended period of time.

“Qin Feng, I will send the C-tiers back. They are useless here,” Nangong Zeming said.

“Okay. This place is in your hands now. I will get back to the peak and bring back more materials.”

“Thanks for the hard work.”

Qin Feng left them and returned to the icy mountain.

After going to and fro the entire day, they had ama.s.sed enough materials for the base. The external walls were constructed and it was lined by crystal cannons powerful enough to deter even an A-tier ultra beast.

Besides that, a force field was set up around the base. Once the force field enclosed the base, they were finally freed from the storm.

The group finally realized that Fengli was indisputably the front runner in technological development. They had lost count of how many impressive devices Qin Feng brought into the Aether Realm.

After the construction was completed, the C-tiers could not wait to return to Earth while the B-tiers wished to stay.

Though they could not hunt, the energy pulsating in the atmosphere of this realm was too alluring to pa.s.s on.

“You can stay if you want to. Let’s first build more places to accommodate everyone. Earth-type users, you are up.” Hu San ordered.

w.a.n.g Chen was definitely staying. Besides, he already had a room for himself.

In his room, mechanical devices had taken up most of the s.p.a.ce. w.a.n.g Chen was calibrating the radarm with Qin Feng giving him a hand.

“While I was in Fengli City, I could see everything within a hundred meters clearly up in the Floating City. The entire North Region seemed to be in my grasp. Now, all my senses are stripped and I am completely blinded. I have not felt safe since I stepped onto this island. President, I even heard that there are S-tier ultra beasts in here.”

“That’s true. But you will be safe as long as you stay inside the fortress. Even if this place is breached, just remember to flee as far as you can.”

“Hahaha. Don’t worry. The mecha can run pretty fast.”

Coincidentally, the machine in w.a.n.g Chen’s hand beeped loudly. It seemed to have completed its test run. On the radar, large and small scarlet dots began to emerge rapidly.

w.a.n.g Chen’s cheerful expression immediately changed. He watched the radar in disbelief.

“Is the machine spoiled? Why are there so many ultra beasts?”

They were not ordinary ultra beasts. All of them were at least beast king and above.

“I will go take a look.” Qin Feng did not think that the machine was faulty. He believed they were besieged by monsters. But perhaps the monsters had never seen any structure like this before, or they had sensed the power level of creatures within the wall. Either way, they had approached cautiously and decided to surround the fortress first.

Qin Feng got up to the wall. The apt.i.tude user that was keeping watch was one of the men that followed Qin Feng to the mountain. He knew how strong Qin Feng was and no longer despised him.

“Why are you up here, Marshall Qin?”

“What’s the condition out there?” Qin Feng asked.

The apt.i.tude user shook his head. “The storm is still obstructing our vision. I don’t think any ultra beast is staying out when the storm is this ferocious.”

Indeed, the visibility was close to nil.

But amidst the roaring wind, Qin Feng could hear a strange voice. He immediately yelled, “Get ready for enemy a.s.sault. Gunslingers, get into your positions. Prepare to fire the crystal cannon anytime!”

His command shook the entire camp. The three S-tiers came out from their rooms.

“What’s the matter?” Someone asked. Qin Feng ignored the question and stepped out of the fortress and into the ravaging storm.

The further he went, the clearer the unusual sound.

Qin Feng was certain now. It was wolves’ howls.

He paced on. A snowy wolf promptly came into sight. The white wolf was at least two-meter-high and four-meter-long. Qin Feng could tell that it was an A-tier beast king.

The moment he saw the white wolf, another emerged, then another one followed.

They were all white wolves. Without him knowing, Qin Feng had been surrounded quietly.

Awoo!

A creature out of sight urged the pack. In response, more than ten white wolves lurched at Qin Feng simultaneously.
