Master of the End Times

The others peered at Bai Li cautiously after Han Jian said so and nodded in agreement. All of them willingly gave up on sharing She-Wolf’s spoils.

She was instant-killed by Bai Li effortlessly. She was undoubtedly a fearsome character.

Han Jian, Chi Long, and Ling Wuyi quickly recalled whether they had done anything that offended Bai Li.

Nonetheless, the group was still delighted about obtaining the Drakocroc eggs.

“If everyone agrees, then the loot from She-Wolf will be given entirely to Bai Li.” Qin Feng handed the items to Bai Li but she loathed taking her head. Thus, Qin Feng stored it into his own spatial runic equipment.

“There are only four Drakocroc eggs so each of you will get one. I will be taking the beast general’s loot and all the runic equipment of the gunner. Any objections?”

By right, they would only receive ten percent from the loot based on their contributions in defeating the beast. The ten percent of the materials from the beast general combined with the runic equipment were still less valuable than the worth of a Drakocroc egg.

Qin Feng was already being generous so there was no reason for them to refuse. After they had reached an agreement, Qin Feng proceeded to unpack the runic equipment that belonged to the dead gunner. He asked Chi Long to pick the equipment that he preferred from among the guns and ammunition found in it.

They were now trapped on the isolated island and had yet to find a way to leave. There was no other way to replenish their supplies so this was the only way to make sure his allies had enough stock to deal with upcoming battles.

With that said, he did not provide the supplies for free. It was put on tab and would be deducted from Chi Long’s share of loot in subsequent battles.

After completing the distribution, they left the place and found a water source to wash away the blood scent on their bodies. They then continued to explore the island.

Undeniably, this deserted place was surprisingly vibrant. They could sense that the entire place was flooded with natural energy.

Their internal power recovered, albeit slowly, through breathing alone.

They found more spirit herbs ahead on their path. This journey was going to make them rich, if they ever make it out alive that is.

Other than Qin Feng’s team, the more than a hundred users that had arrived together with them were less fortunate.

After all, not many were as capable as Qin Feng.

They scrambled for their lives frantically ambush after ambush. Despair consumed them as any moment might be their last.

Luckily, when some of them fled to the center region of the island, Drakocrocs no longer chased after them for some unknown reason.

The night arrived, and those who had battled the entire day finally found a moment of peace.

The Drakocrocs had really retreated!

Though Qin Feng and co. did not know what was happening, they arrived at the same destination as everyone and saw other aptitude users there.

But of course, the number of survivors was much fewer than before.

Han Jian’s face turned grim when he saw the others.

He walked toward an E-tier aptitude user and asked in a low voice, “Where’s Liu Ba?”

The person was apparently saddened and answered regrettably, “Dead.”

Everyone went quiet after that. Han Jian said nothing more and returned to Qin Feng.

These people here were veteran warriors. They had set up some basic defenses around the area and sprayed high-tier monster repellent to secure the make-shift base. Qin Feng also set up his own camp. Such preparations were standard for any E-tier user.

“General Han, why the long face?” Qin Feng asked.

Han Jian replied sorrowfully, “One of the users from Dong Ling has lost his life. His name is Liu Ba. Do you still remember him?”

There was no way Qin Feng would forget.

‘He was rather heroic going up against the Emperor Knight in the past. It’s hard to imagine that he had died just like that.’

“I do.”

“Dong Ling colony is going to be in chaos soon. Liu Ba is quite influential there. Even someone as powerful as he has died just like that. This place is sick.”

Han Jian recalled what he had just gone through the whole day and could not help but trembled in fear.

If not because he had chosen to follow Qin Feng, he might already be a dead man like Liu Ba.

Right now, Han Jian’s opinion toward Qin Feng had drastically changed. He initially thought that Qin Feng was just another brilliant, inexperienced youngster, but now he was wholeheartedly convinced. Other than admiration, he also held great gratitude toward the young man.

The atmosphere surrounding the campsite was icy cold.

“Do any of you know the owner of the spatial waymark?”

“It was basically a trap!”

“We have been misled into the nest of Drakocrocs. It’s a miracle that we are even alive now.”

“I don’t recognize the owner of the spatial waymark, but I do remember the gunner from before. He is under Leitang.”

The crowd went silent.

Leitang Organization.

“What are they plotting?”

“From what I heard, Leitang Organization is currently in conflict with the top leaders of Sea City.”

“Damn! Why are we the ones suffering when they are the ones butting heads?”

“Hoho. I see a lot of people from Sea City here. Guess you guys didn’t see this coming, did you?”

Suddenly, everyone was debating loudly. At the same time, many had their gazes fixed on one man—Tyrant!

Those from the inner circle were usually the ones with the most information.

Though others here were also considered high ranking officers in their respective colonies, a matter of such degree was beyond their grasp. Tyrant was the only one around here that might know the details.

He was among those who tried to intercept men from the Dark Coalition before. However, feeling obligated to those that had bid for the ten tickets, he followed the group into this island after his employer had left.

To be honest, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Even picking up the leftovers behind the main group would make this trip worthwhile.

That was the real reason Tyrant followed them through the rift.

“I am not sure. We, Wanzhong, have nothing to do with Leitang.”

Leitang was initially a part of the Dark Coalition when it first emerged.

They ran entertainment businesses on the surface but secretly supplied drugs under the table. Leitang was once a pest being hated by many colonies.

Regardless, they managed to establish a organization in the end. Naturally, this was thanks to their formidable founder.

In a doomed world like this, anyone could build a kingdom through sheer power. However, as soon as the founder fell out of favor, his or her kingdom would immediately crumble too.

Though the public debate had stopped, people were still conversing secretly.

“This smells exactly like a conspiracy. The only thing is, who is the intended target? What purpose do they have?” Han Jian pointed out.

“We all are. Didn’t we jump into this trap voluntarily?” Chi Long replied ironically. Many had paid for it with their lives hopping onto this one-way convoy to hell.

“Stop overthinking it. The most important thing now is to stay alive. Train while you can and sleep earlier tonight. We still have ample battles to do tomorrow.” Qin Feng chipped in and stopped their fruitless quarrel.

Actually, Qin Feng was the only one among them that knew the entire story.

This spatial waymark had led them into a resourceful place. That part was unexpected.

Equally unthinkable was that this place was also a nest that housed numerous Drakocrocs. Not only that but there is also a Drakocroc beast king residing in one of the underground caverns.

Since Leitang was too busy to clear out the island at the moment, the spatial waymark was neglected. In the end, a D-tier aptitude user from Leitang discovered the waymark and decided to put it into good use. His name was Lei Chen.

He was not aiming to set up any particular individual but to lure away most of the E-tier aptitude users out of Sea City. Right now, Sea City was greatly deprived of combatants thanks to him.

Things went smoothly according to his plan, and the rest was history. In Qin Feng’s past memory, Lei Chen would officially become the mayor of Sea City half a month later.

As for the mayor before him, Qin Feng had no memory of that person at all. Nobody cared about the loser in this damning world!
