645 Mermaid Tears (1/2)

Zhao Feng reorganized his troops since he lost so many in the fight just now.

The total number of his forces had fallen under a thousand, but Zhao Feng wasn’t very concerned about that, so he wasn’t in a rush to replenish them.

The deeper he went in the Purple Smoke Lake, the more powerful beasts he would face.

“The next step is to head toward the Mermaid Kingdom. No matter how many troops I have, it won’t be enough to fight against the Mermaid Kingdom, so I can only choose the path of elites.”

Zhao Feng’s expression was calm.

Instead of increasing the number of his troops, he replenished his army with stronger beasts.

Zhao Feng wanted to contain his troops within three to five hundred or even less. The more troops he had, the more likely it was he would raise the attention of the Mermaid Kingdom’s upper echelon.

Just as Zhao Feng was slowly progressing:

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of urgent footsteps came from behind.

“Junior Martial Brother Zhao!”

The voice of Chen Yilin came from several miles away.

Zhao Feng wasn’t surprised. He halted the army.

Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and a few others arrived in front of Zhao Feng.

“Senior Martial Brother Chen, Senior Martial Brothers and Sisters, is there something you need?”

Zhao Feng asked.

He had already noticed them a long time ago.

“Brother Zhao, we should work together toward the Mermaid Kingdom. We’ll split everything before the palace 70-30; you get 70% and we get 30%.”

Chen Yilin spoke. This time, his tone was honest.

“Okay, but I have a requirement.”

Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head.

With Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company’s help, Zhao Feng’s speed would be much faster.

He didn’t dare to underestimate the strength of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land.

Jiang Fan had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, so he was also not to be looked down on.

“Brother Zhao, you can say what your requirement is.”

Chen Yilin’s face was calm, and none of other disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan showed any signs of dissatisfaction. After all, just a moment ago, Zhao Feng had defeated more than a dozen people, including Tu Jiuseng. His strength shook the hearts of others.

That battle had caused Zhao Feng’s name to spread.

On top of his own strength, Zhao Feng also had his army of water beasts.

“All of you need to listen to me before we reach the palace.”

Zhao Feng said, and the other six Core disciples looked at each other when they heard that.

Zhao Feng wanted the power to order the other Core disciples around.

If this was in the past, this would definitely not happen because the Core disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan had a lot of strength and pride.

“Okay.”

Chen Yilin’s eyes twinkled as he gave Zhao Feng a deep glance.

Zhao Feng had gone straight for the Purple Smoke Lake the moment he entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden and had, step by step, come to rule the Purple Smoke Lake.

And now, he was closing in on the Mermaid Kingdom.

From that, one could see he had a plan from the start, and maybe even some sort of method to obtain resources from the Mermaid Kingdom.

“Let’s go.”

Zhao Feng controlled the army and headed toward the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake with Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company.

With their help, Zhao Feng’s speed increased dramatically.

On the way, there were some powerful beasts, but they were easily finished off by Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan. Zhao Feng didn’t even need to do anything.

Chen Yilin’s strength was probably on par with Tu Jiuseng’s. He could kill some Sovereign Lord beasts in just one move.

Jiang Fan was even more unique. When he released the bloodline aura of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, some beasts didn’t even dare to resist.

Just the aura of the legendary Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline could make beasts run away.

Therefore, the journey was extremely smooth, and Zhao Feng used this chance to have the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array devour many Sovereign and Sovereign Lord beasts.

Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company listened to Zhao Feng’s command, and the latter didn’t use them for free. He gave out ten pieces of Purple Scaled Grass and made their auras more compatible with the Purple Smoke Lake.

Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan both wanted more Purple Scaled Grass, but Zhao Feng required them to give items of equivalent value.

Zhao Feng’s army didn’t stop gathering the nearby resources and treasures either, and everything was split 70-30. Zhao Feng alone took up 70% of the treasures while the other six split the remaining 30%.

Half a day later, some of the scouts in Zhao Feng’s army finally found traces of mermaids.

“They’ve appeared.”

Zhao Feng’s eyes lit up. He could share vision with anything controlled by his Dark Heart Seal.

Mermaids were the same as the legends. Their upper body and head were the same as a human, but their lower half was a fish tail.

The female mermaids were extremely pretty.

“Scatter.”

Zhao Feng ordered his army to scatter throughout an area of ten miles so that it wouldn’t raise much attention.

“Brother Zhao, we’re at the Mermaid Kingdom now. Let’s try to gather some mermaid tears, then scout out the situation before heading toward the palace.”

Chen Yilin suggested. They needed to listen to Zhao Feng before they reached the palace.

“My thoughts are the exact same as Brother Chen’s.”
