Chapter 207 - The Wilderness Rangers (1/2)
Such situations were far from being a rare occurrence.
Qin Feng already knew that he was within the Wilderness Rangers’ defensive perimeter and so, he got down from the vehicle and ordered for Bai Li to tuck it away.
As the hover tank descended toward the ground, it quickly became apparent that it would be an extremely difficult task to travel over such a terrain.
Of course, that applied only to a normal human being. For Bai Li and Qin Feng, it was the same as walking over a smooth surface.
Qin Feng felt someone’s consciousness making contact with his own before disappearing quickly, like it had run away out of fear.
It did not take long before a large search party appeared in front of them.
These men were all wearing full combat fatigues, each with a G-tier runic equipment. They were covered from head to toe in green camouflage and the weapons they were toting appeared to all be of the same model.
The Wilderness Rangers!
“You’ve arrived, Mayor Qin!”
The team moved forward to welcome Qin Feng respectfully. Too respectfully in fact, as they had developed an inexplicable fear toward the man.
If it were yesterday, no one would even know who this Qin Feng character was. All it took was one day for a great deal of them to know of his exploits.
It went to the point where the other four great colonies had all turned their attention toward Fengli Colony, which had the potential to develop into the strongest colony in the near future.
In Chengyang City, uttering Qin Feng’s name was like some sort of a taboo.
This was because the people of Chengyang City feared that the man would someday unleash great havoc upon their city.
These were all in fact, mere speculations, and Qin Feng, being in the eye of the storm, was the least affected by these nonsensical claims. Even till now, n.o.body had come spying on Qin Feng for intel gathering.
If not for Yang Sanhu’s request for help, Qin Feng would not even consider leaving the colony.
“You’re pretty fast aren’t you, Mayor Qin! Apologies for inconveniencing you with this matter!” Yang Sanhu hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Qin Feng.
“It’s my pleasure. I can’t leave an army waiting for me now, can I?”
Finally, a glimmer of hope appeared in Yang Sanhu’s eyes, reflecting his growing confidence in Qin Feng.
If they were to travel in a straight line, it would not take too long at all to reach their destination. However, being in the wilderness, the terrain and the dense jungle foliage were obstacles that prevented Yang Sanhu from bringing with him too many men. Since they had to take detours around various natural obstacles, their trek would take at least two days.
Somehow, Qin Feng was able to complete the journey within a single day. To achieve such a feat, his speed must have been incredible!
“Mayor Qin, you must be dead tired from travelling all the way here. How about you catch some rest?”
Qin Feng adamantly shook his head. Right now, he could not wait to see what the scene looked like firsthand.
“No need for that. I rested well in my vehicle the night before. Now that my bones have all loosened up, time for some exercise!”
“Do you need me to gather more men?”
Yang Sanhu was still quite nervous about the operation.
After all, the power of a human paled so much in comparison to an ultra beast’s.
Even if Qin Feng had achieved ground-breaking improvements, even if he had brought down the Xin family, it might still be insufficient to take the life of an ultra beast. However, Yang Sanhu wanted to try his luck, especially after hearing that Qin Feng had defeated the Xin family’s contract ultra beast.
“That won’t be necessary. Bringing me alone will be enough!”
Qin Feng was not particularly bothered by Yang Sanhu’s doubtfulness. After all, this feeling would soon disappear after seeing Qin Feng in action.
“Very well. Now, follow me, Mayor Qin!” Yang Sanhu took the lead and ventured forth into the foliage. “It’s quite far away. Would you mind if I use my ancient warrior abilities?”
Qin Feng nodded. “Go ahead!”
Yang Sanhu unleashed his internal strength, which flowed throughout his body. The next step he took was so powerful that the earth cracked open. And so, the speed at which the team was travelling increased by a significant margin.
Yang Shanhu’s strengthened body allowed him to move forward through the dense jungle swiftly.
“Disorienting steps!” Qin Feng’s speed too, increased drastically. However, the manner in which he gained speed was not through his legs moving faster but rather, through constantly s.h.i.+fting his position. Unleas.h.i.+ng his internal strength completely, Qin Feng’s speed matched that of the general’s.
Bai Li did not possess such tricks. However, being a beast king tier ent.i.ty herself, she was able to float effortlessly behind the duo, propelling herself forward by kicking the ground, where an immense amount of internal strength would shoot out.
It took them nearly ten minutes of travelling before reaching an even denser part of the jungle.
“This is it. The territory of that scaled tiger!” Yang Sanhu announced to the team. His steps had grown noticeably more cautious as he shuffled between the trees.
The scaled tiger was the overlord here. Anything that dared enter its hunting grounds would automatically become its prey regardless of its species.
