Chapter 1001: The Poachy Jiao Linhan
In fact, Qin Feng did not actually comprehend any of it—he was actually absorbing them.
Qin Feng did not absorb the water runes because he wanted to be considerate toward Tung Yang and not adversely affect Tung Yang’s ascension.
Nonetheless, this had already challenged Tung Yang and Jiao Linhan’s existing perception of the world. On the other hand, Qin Feng had also caused a series of chain effects, resulting in the ultra beasts in the ocean to rage around.
It was then, a glare of rainbow beamed up on the ocean surface.
“It’s the jellyfish! It’s the S-tier beast emperor!”
Jiao Linhan was not afraid of any S-tier beast general. However, if the foe was something much stronger than a beast king, he would not be able to handle them at all.
Jiao Linhan also did not understand just how fearsome the ultra beasts in the ocean were. If they were on the land, S-tier beast emperors were still quite few in number in the red zones.
Now, in the ocean, these things could pop up from under the sea at any moment, from any spot. This had caused Jiao Linhan to be afraid.
Should he flee? Should he not?
Meanwhile, Tung Yang did not have the energy to handle so many things. Right now, the others would have to face the ultra beasts.
“Bai Li, help him.” Qin Feng sent a message via consciousness.
Even though he had ascended, the situation right now was still quite perilous to say the least.
Tung Yang had used all his consciousness to comprehend the ascension of his runes. If he were to fail, Tung Yang’s consciousness would descend from his current level to around A5-tier. This would irreversibly damage his consciousness.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, was different—his consciousness had already ascended to S-tier. He also had experience in ascending to S-tier. This meant that it was not too stressful for him at all in this process.
“Okay!” Bai Li agreed without protest as she zipped toward the glaring part of the ocean.
At first glance, it looked as though the ocean was beaming up with colorful lights. However, the colors were all venom.
Perhaps due to having sensed Bai Li’s arrival, the jellyfish willed in a veil of jelly substance and lunged at Bai Li.
As it leaped out of the water, runes began to rage around it, forming a force shield. If anyone were to be caught by the force shield, there would be no way for them to escape.
“Damn it! What are you doing?! Do you have a death wish!?” Jiao Linhan did not think that Bai Li would strike so fast.
Due to him getting to know Qin Feng, he also knew who Bai Li was. Still, even though he knew that she was a very rare shape-shifting spatial beast, Jiao Linhan thought that she was, at best, an S-tier ultra beast. She was only very proficient in taking on other ultra beasts all thanks to her ability to manipulate space and dimensions.
An S-tier ultra beast taking on an S-tier beast emperor was nothing short of suicide.
However, perhaps due to her being a spatial beast… Bai Li might still have a way to handle this…
“Ms Bai, there’s still a way to deal with this! Don’t panic! You just need to lead the beast emperor away…”
Before he was able to finish giving his suggestion, Jiao Linhan was startled to see what was happening in front of him.
Countless silver threads burst out of Bai Li’s body; each of the threads then ripped open small dimensional cracks.
Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh…
Then, the dimensional cracks began to spin around like a hurricane, completely trapping the jellyfish. In an instant, the jellyfish, due to not having sturdy physical properties, was completely crushed to pieces.
Qin Feng was not surprised at all.
Bai Li was already as powerful as an SS-tier beast emperor. As such, it was within his expectation that Bai Li would be able to defeat an entity that was much weaker than herself.
However, Jiao Linhan did not know this at all.
‘So, a spatial beast is this powerful?!’
Jiao Linhan took in a deep breath as he had a completely new insight on how powerful Bai Li was.
‘Damn. With an ultra beast like this on his side, he would be able to get any resources he wants!’
‘He is so lucky!’
A fling of jealousy flared up in Jiao Linhan’s eyes as he took a glance at Qin Feng. He was now planning to poach Bai Li to his side.
Bai Li was able to take care of an S-tier beast emperor in under a minute and get Qin Feng an S-tier crystal core. Although the jellyfish was venomous, it was all consciousness based and emitted from the jellyfish itself. The crystal core was thus free of venom; not only that, it also housed a vast conscious energy, making it ripe for Bai Li to absorb.
Therefore, after receiving the crystal core, Bai Li began to chew on the crystal core gleefully.
The jellyfish, on the other hand, had completely melted away and dissolved into the ocean; so, there was no way to collect any material from it.
Nonetheless, due to the venom that it had released onto the ocean surface, no ultra beasts would dare to come near this area for the moment.
Seeing his chance, Jiao Linhan approached Bai Li.
“Ms Bai, I see you like to snack on ultra beasts’ crystal cores?” Jiao Linhan asked.
If she liked to eat these for her sustenance, Jiao Linhan could get some crystal cores from his collection to buy out Bai Li from her contract with Qin Feng. Then, he could sign a new contract with her.
As for whether she could snack on the new crystal cores that he promised her, it would all depend on him later.
Bai Li took a glance at Jiao Linhan.
It was then Jiao Linhan realized that Bai Li’s eyes were silver in color. This meant that she could see through a person’s thoughts.
Bai Li replied coldly, “Yeah, I was able to ascend due to snacking on these. They were not acquired by me though—it was all Qin Feng’s doing. He has gathered over thousands of S-tier crystal cores for me. This was how I was able to ascend to SS-tier.”
Jiao Linhan’s smile was completely frozen on his face. Over thousands of S-tier crystal cores? If he had this many S-tier crystal cores, Jiao Linhan too would have ascended to SS-tier after meditating for a decade or two.
Jiao Linhan ground his teeth, thinking that Bai Li replied this way because she had seen through his thoughts of poaching her.
“Hehe, you jest! To ascend to SS-tier, one would need to spend a lot of resources. Qin Feng isn’t so strong that he could hunt so many S-tier ultra beasts for you, is he?”
Jiao Linhan was not giving up yet. He still assumed that Qin Feng and Bai Li’s resource were all Bai Li’s hard work.
No one was so foolish to acquire so much resource just to ascend a pet.
“I wasn’t kidding. It was all his work. Qin Feng’s very strong, you know? He can slay anyone by raising a finger. And when he does, we will have resources.” Bai Li beamed up a smile.
“Haha, don’t worry, my friend! Qin Feng only kills people from the Dark Coalition. So long as you’re not his enemy, Qin Feng would not kill anyone from the Human Alliance.”
Cold sweat was rolling down on Jiao Linhan’s forehead. To him, Bai Li’s words were like a threat to him. However, he could not retaliate after recalling just how powerful Bai Li was.
“Hey, there are more ultra beasts over there. I’ll head out for a round of patrol.”
Bai Li’s smile remained as she told Qin Feng telepathically.
“Oh gosh, no one believes it at all.”
“Hehe, it’s alright. The weak can never understand the strong after all,” Qin Feng replied.
Right now, Qin Feng felt that being an ability user was a job that only got easier as he became stronger. When he had reached a certain height of power, the roads were all paved out for him.
This meant that any resource that seemed beyond reach to others, it was a piece of cake for Qin Feng—a cake that he could just reach out, grab it, and eat it!
