Chapter 976 - Shadow Split (1/2)

Qin Feng was quick in acting.

This was the third time he had come across the behemoth. He promptly erased his presence to hide from the pursuing specter, then probed carefully with his consciousness.

However, when he reached the source of the howl, Qin Feng was disappointed to find that it did not come from the behemoth. Instead, it was an inflated specter.

The specter was at least twenty-meter-high. It did not appear to have a special skill or unmatching speed. Nonetheless, it could constantly release specter minions out of its body. One of the SS-tiers was fighting it while the other S-tiers were diverting the minions. It was apparent that they did not fight in accord with one another. Most of them only gave minimal effort.

‘The enlarged specter must have something valuable, like dragon blood, hidden in it. Otherwise, the SS-tier, who is not a dark type, wouldn’t have thrown himself to it. He would gain nothing even if he killed the specter with this much effort.’

Even if the item did not suit or could not be used by the SS-tier, it could always be used as a trading chip later on.

Qin Feng had learned that though the energy cube was the default currency in the Human Alliance, items of exceptional tier could be exchanged with another type of currency, which was the sacred stone.

Qin Feng was considered wealthy after he had obtained more than three thousand sacred stones in a previous encounter. However, he did not use any of the stones to purchase anything. After all, very few arts could outperform Asteroid Assimilation.

He reckoned the SS-tiers were here looking for Dark Stones, dragon blood, dragon marrow, or anything of similar value.

It was said that dragon marrow was the most abundant, but Qin Feng had not found any so far.

‘Well, it’s fate that we meet here. Let me send you guys some gifts.’ Qin Feng thought about it. Seeing the stalemate, and that the group could not do anything about the giant specter, Qin Feng retreated and took out the Gorefiend’s core again.

Soon, hundreds of specters gathered around him again.

Although there were only three hundred shadows, it was the last straw that could easily run the group over.

Qin Feng dashed toward the giant specter.

“Bai Li, give me a hand later.”

“Okay.” Bai Li’s answer resonated from his soul.

Qin Feng’s action came with considerable risk. Nevertheless, after running and exploring inside the valley for more than half an hour, he had largely grasped the topography of this Dragonspine Valley. Places that might be dangerous to others were like his backyard now.

“Rampage Influx.”

Qin Feng charged out from the shadow.

Raw! Raw! Raw!

The death aura released by the incoming specters finally caught the attention of the party.

“What the hell?!”

“Where did so many specters come from?”

“Stall them! Don’t let them get near!”

“Let’s flee immediately! It’s doomed either way. I am done with this!”

These S-tiers were not a concerted group, to begin with. Naturally, they were conceited and fled selfishly when tragedy struck.

The giant specter was on the verge of defeat. Qin Feng made no delay and released a powerful ability.

“Cold Whisper of Death!”

Qin Feng pointed his finger and hit the SS-tier fighting the giant specter.

A thin layer of ice was swiftly wrapped around the SS-tier. But the ice melted in an instant like his body was carrying a scorching flame.

More like his burning anger.

“How dare you!”

His prestigious tier had failed to terrorize these unthankful laborers. No wonder he was furious.

Qin Feng did not care about his bellow. He drew out the Verdant Emperor Saber fearlessly.

“Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!”
