Chapter 989 - Laboring for the Seeds (1/2)
Daybloom was not mistaken.
Qin Feng and Bai Li had teleported in front of Daybloom when the giant Bloodlust Centipede was flaunting its maw ready to chomp down.
Qin Feng held his hand up and unleashed a freezing aura. Ice runes soon spread through the centipede’s body.
The Insectoid was, after all, just a C-tier beast king. It could not withstand Qin Feng’s assault. A basic ice-type ability was all Qin Feng needed to freeze the monster into a giant ice sculpture.
“Ice Blast!”
The ice-runes promptly exploded under Qin Feng’s order.
It was a beautiful blast. The ice sculpture instantly shattered into a crystalline firework. Qin Feng’s furrowed brows were soothed a little when the hideous-looking centipede died in such a colorful way.
A blood-red core containing immense energy dropped to the ground. Qin Feng took a glance at it. Like the Gorefiend’s core, this core seemed to enhance vitality.
But this was not the time for examining the core. More and more centipedes were heading their way now. After Qin Feng took down one of them, its blood scent had only attracted more of its kind.
“Mr. Qin…” Daybloom cried hysterically. He was terrified by the centipedes’ demoralizing presence. Being an ordinary teenager that had yet to awaken, his guts were crushed by the intimidating pressure.
“Let’s go!” Qin Feng ignored the Bloodlust Centipedes and had Bai Li carry Daybloom as they fled.
Schwaff!
They disappeared into thin air and immediately reappeared on top of a building.
Bam!
A few soldiers crashed the door leading to the rooftop. They were stunned to see three youngsters there and shouted, “Kids, get inside and hide. Don’t go too far from us. This building is safe for now!”
They then ignored them and began to set up their weapons.
These men were undoubtedly gunslingers.
A few of them were suited up in a ten-meter-high mecha. They launched to the sky and opened fire toward the centipedes on the ground.
Qin Feng was not interested and turned to Daybloom. “The gold roses that you sold to us earlier are very beautiful. Do you still have its seeds?”
Daybloom was baffled. He would never expect that to be the first question coming out of his savior’s mouth. ‘Why does he still care so much about the flower in this situation?’
“I still have it in my house.”
“Then, please sell them to me. Of course, you can keep some for yourself.” The kid could be awakened anytime, or not at all. The gold rose might be his only means of living before that. Qin Feng had no intention of taking everything away.
Daybloom was still in shock after facing death at such a close call. Although Qin Feng had saved him in the final moment, Daybloom still had no idea how powerful Qin Feng was.
“Okay. Once the army exterminates the centipedes, I will get them for you.” Naturally, Daybloom dared not reject his savior’s request.
Qin Feng did not want to get involved in this dimension’s affair. Besides, the scale of this battle was child’s play compared to those taking place in Qin Feng’s dimension. He said mindlessly, “We don’t need to wait till then. Tell me where your house is. We will go and retrieve it now.”
Qin Feng then called up a map and asked Daybloom to point out the location of his house.
Daybloom hesitated for a moment, then pleaded sincerely, “Mr. Qin, aren’t you an aptitude user? I don’t know anything about you but you seem pretty strong. Don’t you think fending off the monsters is more urgent than the flower seeds now? Mr. Qin, if you help them to resist the Bloodlust Centipede, then I am willing to hand you all my seeds. Otherwise… otherwise…” Daybloom was looking for the right words anxiously. But he could not find anything to threaten Qin Feng with. Daybloom did not have any bargaining chip to negotiate with Qin Feng, to begin with.
Qin Feng lamented when he saw Daybloom’s righteousness and bravery.
