Chapter 168 - Bafflement of Shi Tianhai (2/2)

“That man… he… his name is Qin Feng!” Shi Tianhai exclaimed.

His brain churned a great deal before recalling the name that Liu Xue had uttered to him once. Back then, he was still wearing a G-tier aptitude user badge. He remembered that even then, he already possessed the powers of an F-tier user but due to sheer exhaustion from his work, Shi Tianhai paid no heed to the young man.

Who would have thought that the next time they met, his powers would have grown by such a significant amount!

Qin Feng’s powers were simply too strong!

Right at that moment, Shi Tianhai finally understood why Qin Feng was able to guide so many out of the fallen Han Town on his own. Alone, his strength matched that of hundreds of regular human beings.

“Qin Feng? Do we have any intel on him?” Chi Long replied hurriedly. ” For there to be such a strong ability user… with his strength, we can seriously recapture Han Town once and for all!”

Hearing this, Shi Tianhai’s emotions were stirred up. However, there was a lingering sense of despair in his heart.

Based on Chi Long’s words, he gathered that the successful conquest of Han Town was never guaranteed, and the possibility of giving up on it had always been an option.

If not for Qin Feng, would this nightmare turn into a reality?

Fearing the worst, Shi Tianhai quickly replied, “I’ll go gather information on that man right this instant! One of my underlings should know a whole lot about him!”

Chi Long nodded. “Don’t let him misunderstand our intent. We must approach him with the goal of peace in mind.”

“Of course!”

They were going to get down on their knees and beg Qin Feng to lend them his strength!

Still oblivious as to the happenings in the battle operations room, Qin Feng bent down to dig the crystal core of the beast general out of its nasty guts. Alongside hundreds of other mantis eggs, the core was stored into his spatial runic equipment.

Without their mother’s body, these eggs could not hatch. Though, if they did hatch, the hatchlings would fetch a price tenfold of what these eggs could at their highest.

These eggs could at least serve as a high-protein snack for Qin Feng.

After that was done, Qin Feng continued burning the fields, killing off the remnants of blade mantises that escaped his previous wave of attacks.

“Halt!”

Qin Feng stopped his Hellfire attack. The ground had been charred black and not a single blade of grass survived the fiery hell. Similarly, carbonised remains of blade mantises littered the landscape, leaving behind their iron-tough forelimbs which were unscratched.

Qin Feng lifted his eyes to see the drone hovering above him.

In the operations room, Chi Long stared into Qin Feng’s eyes. There, he took a deep breath and a feeling of awe finally set in.

Within two hours, Qin Feng had completely burned down the agricultural fields alongside a large number of blade mantises.

The drone did not keep count of the bodies but there must have been at least a thousand dead mantises across the ground.

This ability user was a force to be reckoned with.

Perhaps, someday in the future, his powers could change the course of history!

Chi Long ordered for the drone to withdraw from the battlefield. At the same time, he barked out an order, “I don’t want our drones spying on his every move but I want you all to focus on the areas he will move through. I want regular updates on those places, understood?”

“Yes, commander!”

The staff members replied respectfully.

Noticing that the drone had left the scene, Qin Feng concluded that the commander must be a sensible man.

It was fine and all to oversee the battlefield but when it came to reaping rewards after the battle was over, Qin Feng often felt infringed if a drone were to remain floating above his head!

These rewards not only brought about money but also one’s bane.

If the drone were to overstay its welcome, Qin Feng would have no choice but to take the entire thing down!

“Scan the battlefield!”

Qin Feng ordered.

Riding the umbra stallion, Bai Li galloped across the fields. Where she flew past, the materials would all vanish into thin air. As the entire plot was not too big to begin with, Bai Li was done collecting the loot within five minutes!

After storing the goodies into the spatial runic equipment, Qin Feng climbed onto the horse by grabbing onto Bai Li’s waist. Once again, they resumed their journey into Han Town.
