Chapter 844: Wild Imagination
Unidentified numbers of corpses were piled up on the ruins, even the ground was covered in pitch-black colour.
Sha sha sha!
Walking footsteps were heard as all attention was diverted, some among the crowd were even caught by a great shock and started moving forward!
But soon, they noticed that the moving person was actually Qin Feng.
Qin Feng had already stepped out for more than ten meters away. He stepped onto the pitch-black land. The colour was not from the original colour of the land, but the colour of dried out fresh blood, corroded by dark abilities.
Qin Feng walked on it without any fear. After several steps, he noticed that nobody was following from behind, and he turned around.
“What now? Waiting for the other Gorefiends to catch up?”
The three-thousand-meter coverage was definitely incapable of shrouding the entire ruin. Perhaps it could only cover up to one tenth of the entire area, and it was also possible for Gorefiends to be present at the uncovered areas!
Then, all of those humans jerked back to their senses and instantly followed up.
Qin Feng also began to move faster and led the crowd of more than three hundred people out from the ruins, and into a massive field.
However, the external world was struck by a bloody massacre, and it had amplified the despair within those who had escaped from death. It was like their fortunate escape and fluctuating emotions that had led them into a living hell.
However, Qin Feng was obviously prepared for it.
“Tectonic Barrier!”
Qin Feng’s earth ability exploded and earth runes rose from the ground, instantly establishing into a fortress that was more than twenty meters in height. It was like a tall tower being set upright on the field.
The structure of the tower was in yellow, totally different from the surrounding blood-red colour.
“Just go up. If any of you are earth ability users, build yourself a room, at least you will be able to survive longer. I will be taking care of cleaning up the surroundings as I do not belong here. All of you should know that I can only provide my protection for a day, nothing more than that!”
Qin Feng channelled from his consciousness.
Qin Feng had remained silent all the time. As he was dressed very differently from everyone in the realm, all of the doubts they had were now answered, but it had also triggered the unavoidable fear.
Qin Feng’s hurried departure also indicated that they were still safe for the moment, and they did not have a reason to ask Qin Feng to stay. Gong Ge’s expression changed as he sank into deep thoughts, but did not voice out to retain Qin Feng.
Hence, Qin Feng left the fortress. The exhausted survivors felt that they were temporarily safe, and were finally able to relax and rest.
“Get up, this is not the time to rest. Earth ability users have to quickly build more rooms. We are not supposed to gather all of these people here. If the Gorefiends were to launch another attack, we would be choked to death here!”
“Enforce more control toward this earth fortress!”
“Release the water ripples, execute scanning procedures, get into action!”
Gong Ge immediately assigned missions and conveyed the chain of command. None of them had any complaints as Gong Ge was the most powerful person around, and he was the first person who followed Qin Feng. All of them believed that he had a special tie with Qin Feng.
Some of them began to expand their territories to secure better living spaces, while some of them stayed close to Gong Ge and began questioning him.
“Elder, the outsider, who is he, how could he be so powerful?” As Bai Li was not involved, and she was dressed quite similarly to fit into their realm, they thought that Bai Li was a native. Now that they were unable to recall Bai Li’s looks, they had unconsciously ignored her presence!
Gong Ge explained, “Should be a native from this realm!”
“How could he be so powerful, and what place are we at actually?”
“Perhaps this is just a different place, or an extremely dangerous place. That person is here to train himself, and conveniently extended his help to save us!”
“I also feel the same way, we can ask for that person’s help to bring us out from here!”
“Yes!”
The discussion intensified, while Gong Ge also had the same doubt in mind.
For Qin Feng to be so powerful and capable of going against the Gorefiends, it was obvious that he was not with the Gorefiends. With such a messed-up situation, they must have arrived through a spatial rift and fallen into a realm that had the most dire situation. As long as they could leave the place, they would still be able to survive.
With that in mind, Gong Ge regained his confidence.
He hummed and continued to explain, “To be frank, I was the one who first met him. The reason for him to save me, it was because he is a mercenary. I spent a hundred million gems to hire him for protection for a day, which was what he had mentioned, and I suspect that he still wishes to be paid more. Also, it will definitely be a huge sum, and the remaining amount that I have now…”
Gong Ge faked a troubled expression.
Meanwhile, the others gasped in shock.
A hundred million gems were definitely nothing to Gong Ge, but not for the others. Perhaps it might be affordable by a B-tier as it would only be one fifth of the total family asset. Some of them were even carrying the wealth of the entire clan, and for them to pay that amount to save their own lives, it would definitely be worth it.
But for those C-tiers, and D-tiers, there was only despair as they would definitely be unable to afford such an amount!
“Elder, that person, what is his expected amount, let us all contribute to it?”
“If he were to count a hundred million for each person, what about the others?”
“Look at the situation that we are in, can you try to be more selfless? How many more fellows do we have now?”
There were only three hundred refugees that had escaped from the city, some of them felt sorry for the others and did not want to abandon those low=tier aptitude users!
“Alright, let me contribute the first ten billion, all of you can figure out the contribution for the remaining twenty billion!”
The others hesitated a little but still nodded in agreement. There were more than fifty B-tiers present so four hundred million gems contributed from each of them would already suffice. However, the sum was almost the entire portion of their asset so they would definitely not pay for the entire sum. Hence, those C-tier and D-tier aptitude users that managed to escape were forced to fork out all they had. Not only that, formation into different teams took place immediately. They were all led by those B-tier aptitude users, and of course, they were all spearheaded by Gong Ge.
Hence, Gong Ge instantly gathered everyone under a giant network of beneficial ties.
Twenty billion gems were collected, but Gong Ge did not intend to genuinely hand over the entire thirty billion to Qin Feng. He was even planning to bargain a lower price with Qin Feng to lead their escape from the place.
Qin Feng did not capture the content of the discussion between Gong Ge and the others. Even if he had found out about it, he would still ignore it with total contempt.
The reason was because the entire Blood River Realm was in the same situation. Where else could all of them escape to?
Could it be that they would have to escape to the realm that Qin Feng came from?
How could that be possible!
Even if Qin Feng would agree to it, perhaps the other humans would disagree!
