Chapter 981 - Rising into S-Tier (2/2)

“So glad you’re okay, but this time it was pretty dangerous. You’ve reached S-tier and you said we’d go on vacation together!” Bai Li said.

Qin Feng was also happy.

“Yes, I remember there are some portals in the Human Alliance that lead to some peaceful realms with pleasant scenery, we can go and see them!”

“Yeah!”

Just as the two were talking, Qin Feng’s consciousness suddenly sensed the auras of a few creatures.

He realized that they were probably participating in the monthly expedition to the Dragonspine Valley.

These people were not like how Qin Feng was, being able to absorb the energy in the water with the Absorption Ability without getting corrupted by dark runes. While the stream was a great energy boost for Qin Feng, for the others, it was considered a terrible disaster.

“I told you to not be so greedy for these things, it’ll be dark soon and if the dark tide comes then nobody is going back!”

“Oh, since you’ve got time to start babbling, how about you start running!”

“Milord, don’t leave us behind!”

Two SS-tier aptitude users frantically rushed forward, there were eight S-tiers left behind them, not able to catch up to the SS-tiers in terms of speed.

These two SS-tiers were ones that Qin Feng recognized.

It was the pair that he encountered when he obtained the Sovereign Roar. Drakao of the Dragon-borne and Nuah of the Dopplehanded.

It was possible that the two saw the benefit of working together last time they teamed up and decided to team up again. Unexpectedly, they got too greedy and did not have time to get out.

The dark tide was naturally the stream that Qin Feng encountered. Based on the speed of the S-tiers, they were going to get hit by the water.

Qin Feng rode the stream, it was going to reach these people’s backs in a moment’s notice. He did not say a single thing nor did the S-tiers notice anything.

Splash!

The dark tide had reached these people’s backs, and while the waters were only ankle deep, they acted as if they had encountered some kind of feral beast.

“Argh!”

An S-tier aptitude user was instantly affected by the dark tide’s water. His ankle could be seen turning black and his whole person looked as if he had been drained of blood. He quickly lost weight and rapidly aged as his skin developed liver spots before turning into a dried up skeleton, collapsing into the water.

An S-tier had died violently, just like that.

The others were absolutely terrified and ran for their lives.

Qin Feng’s consciousness moved and took away the body’s spatial rune equipment.

There were only a few things in that equipment and he only found two Hell Stones, which were the only useful things to him.

“This is way too poor!”

He tutted.

Such was the situation. These S-tiers originally came here knowing that they were going to fight for their lives, and they knew that there was going to be possible danger. As a result, they would not have brought much, afraid of being robbed by others.

The other seven S-tiers did not manage to survive either, Qin Feng also took away the equipment left behind among their remains.

He followed behind Drakao and Nuah, very quickly leaving Dragonspine Valley.

For a moment, he stood on the peak of the mountain and could see the greyish sunset in the distance as its light rays tinged the clouds with orange. It was about to be night-time.

However, at this moment, the mountain was actually filled with aptitude users!
