Chapter 958 - Return to the Surface (1/2)

Bai Li reached out to Qin Feng who was bathed by the flowing amber fluid. Worry was written all over her eyes.

Qin Feng waved his hand and handed the body of the Void Locust Kaiser to her instead. He could not store the spatial stone in his own spatial equipment.

Bai Li kept the giant stone into her dimension and once again extended her hand to him. She wanted to pull Qin Feng away from the dangerous-looking liquid as soon as possible.

Qin Feng’s gaze fell on the fire core. He was having mixed feelings.

The core made him feel at home. He now finally knew how warm and assuring a mother’s touch was. Qin Feng swore that he would protect the core with all his might, no matter the cost.

He took a final look, then grabbed Bai Li’s hand. The contact immediately drew him back into Bai Li’s dimension.

Covered by the silver spatial runes, the amber flame was immediately extinguished. Bai Li stared at him amusingly and poked his bare chest.

Now only did Qin Feng realize that his battle suit, as well as the Divine Flame Imperial Robe, had been melted away by the flame.

Though he lamented the loss of an S-tier armor, the Imperial Robe was not that useful since it could not fend off the core’s energy anyway.

Besides, he did gain something in this journey. Though he did not consciously absorb the runes from the core, some of them were imbued into his body.

Through that, he had mastered a new fire-type ability.

His consciousness immediately recognized the ability as Flare of Death.

It sounded ordinary but Qin Feng believed its force had to be comparable to that of the Finger of Death or Cold Whisper of Death since the three skills were named similarly.

This alone was worth the trip.

“Let’s return,” Qin Feng said. Bai Li held his hand and disappeared in a flash.

They move speedily and cautiously. Bai Li did not want to expose them to danger on their way up.

A day had passed by the time they returned to the original location. Other than the S-tiers led by West Lord, there were a dozen more ability users there. Fang Zhou, who Qin Feng had collaborated with, was there too.

There was also an S-tier who was in charge of the West Region.

Finally, Qin Feng saw him. A familiar face, but he was a foe, not a friend.

He was no doubt a handsome-looking man in his twenties. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle. His stare could almost poke a burning hole through a person.

The snow robe on him was decorated by a pattern in gold. It glowed in a way that only an S-tier armor would have.

Eye Devil.

Eye Devil did not show himself when the fierce battle first broke out in the Amazon Alliance. Even though he was the strongest elect of this region, he did not care one bit about this place because he was a member of the Dark Coalition.

But the profuse core energy that leaked out from the rift opened by the S-tier Void Locust Kaiser had successfully intrigued him. He came eventually and trained amidst the thick energy.

The elects here had all come for the same reason.

Qin Feng and Bai Li’s reappearance had caught their attention.

“Qin Feng!” The guardian of the West had met Qin Feng before and he greeted him.
