Cleaves crashed on the force shield of the aircraft and put him to a halt. The momentum of the collision was too light to injure him. It was his pride and not his body that was hurt.
“I am fine,” Cleaves said grimly. He had lost the appetite to keep fighting.
Despite glaring at Qin Feng scathingly, Cleaves took no further action.
From inside the aircraft, the ridiculed tone of leader Rocklin reached his consciousness. “Then perhaps make way for the aircraft? Or else we would have no choice but to crush through you.”
Cleaves’s face turned bleeker. A pair of Radiant Wings materialized on his back and carried him higher into the stratosphere. Qin Feng could still sense his grudge. But seeing that he had lost the will to fight, the edge of Qin Feng’s lips upturned into a grin.
‘This kind of person always needs a beating to come to their senses.’
Qin Feng stepped back into his aircraft and continued to advance with his troop.
When they were sparring, both the aircrafts had left the battlefield. However, Qin Feng’s team had Bai Li in it. Wherever a spatial rift could open to, Qin Feng’s team would have immediate access to it.
That was the most vital piece Cleaves’s team lacks. If he wishes to find a footing here, Cleaves would need to haul in a stabilizer.
By the time he found one, Qin Feng would probably have swept away all the good stuff, leaving behind treacherous monsters and worthless resources.
Go for wool and come back shorn.
“Move on!” Under Qin Feng’s command, the main aircraft and the thirty-airship fleet behind it marched on to explore the unknown region. Behind them, more and more newcomers had emerged.
Many users from the North African Republic had long gathered near the Styx. After the news reached their ears, they rushed through the rift enthrallingly one after another. Ironically, ample living human beings were now hovering above the river to the afterlife.
They could see the broad river under their feet as they carefully maneuvered through the small rifts spread across midair.
The realm was shrouded by a faint crimson. On the first look, one would mistake the soothing red as the color on maple leaves during fall. Actually, these leaves grew on mutated plants that had absorbed the blood runes.
That was the reason why this realm was named Blood River Realm.
Qin Feng was the first to arrive, so naturally, he was the one that benefited the most. Seeing that it was temporarily safe, the others that followed quickly called for spatial stabilizing apparatus to be delivered quickly. But the time wasted in between only gave Qin Feng more luxury to harvest the resources with zero competition.
Inevitably, the users from the republic had their sights fixed on Qin Feng. They had even set up a private virtual meeting group among them.
“Where is that organization from? Is it Huaxia?”
“Damn it! He had most of the good stuff stolen away! Don’t you have a stabilizer on your aircraft?”
“Why is he so well prepared?”
“I recognize the name. I heard that they are the biggest firearm manufacturer in Huaxia. Other than that, they also excel in research regarding spatial runes and different realms. That explains why they are so well equipped.”
“So it’s them. I have heard tales about their president. It is said that he single-handedly eliminated most of the high-rank aptitude users in the Amazon Alliance.”
Stories about him that seemed unreal daunted them.
Except for Cleaves, who snorted at the rumors. If Qin Feng were really that scary, why did he not kill him just now?
He quickly called out, “No matter what, these rifts appeared above the Styx, our turf! We shouldn’t stand by and let someone from Huaxia snatch it under our nose. To be frank, even I have lost a ship earlier. Don’t say I didn’t warn you that the Blood River down there is full of C-tier Ichortoids. If anyone is brave enough to descend and verify, be my guest.”
The others did plan to search the river. But indeed they had seen a shipwreck down there, which belonged to the Altaar Corporation. Naturally, they became cautious and did not go down immediately. Cleaves’s words confirmed their worries.
With that said, they once again had their eyes turned to Fengli’s aircraft, this time with a more purposeful glance.
“Cleaves, are you suggesting…”
“You guys know damn well what I am suggesting. We should just get onboard their crafts and take back…”
Before he could finish the sentence, numerous alarms interrupted and blasted their eardrums.
[Warning! Warning! A large number of spatial rifts have been detected. An unknown creature is approaching!]
“What the hell!?” Cleaves was startled.
At the same time, Qin Feng had received the same warning.
The numbers of emerging rifts refreshed rapidly on the radar. Information regarding the huge rift was also being displayed on the hologram.
Bai Li unleashed her spatial runes and it immediately covered the entire fleet. Within this area, the realm was being stabilized by Bai Li’s power and no rift could invade the zone.
The airship that initially hovered right above the river had also returned near the fleet.
Bai Li’s realm was the only safe zone at the moment.
Following the occurrence of the rift, things kept falling out of it.
There were soil clumps, trees, beasts, and even humans.
As far as the eyes could see, a gigantic thunder broke the sky in half. Then, a giant city appeared abruptly like a mirage. The city then quickly crumbled and the entire establishment plummeted straight to the ground.
One of the rifts nearer to them was pouring out water frenziedly. The water appeared brown and looked close to mud water. The water crashed on the hillside and devastated the vegetation on it, turned red along the way, and rushed into the river.
Everything within sight seemed to tremble in front of the merciless natural force.
Watching the imposing scene, Qin Feng’s heart pounded in bewilderment.
Spatial overlapped!
After Qin Feng was reborn, what he experienced in Chungluo was an accidental encounter. He had no idea that the Fettered Land was once Chungluo City.
But after some research, he now had a deeper understanding of spaces and realms.
Thus, he immediately comprehended the current phenomenon.
Not only that but the current overlapping incident seemed to be more severe than Chungluo City.
The world was collapsing right in front of Qin Feng. It was not the same as last time. Each dimension was unique in itself, so it was hard to predict what peculiarity would happen this time. He still did not have enough knowledge to explain everything.
But he was certain about one thing, this was yet another golden opportunity presented to him.
The rift was still ripping through the air. New species began to arrive through the spatial tunnel.
Beasts’ roars and humans’ outcries from afar filled their world. The “maple trees” lining the mountain also unveiled their ferocious fangs against the intruders.
Amid the chaos, the frightened shrieks of the ability users from the North African Republic still sounded crisp and clear.
Crack!
A hovercraft was brutally ripped apart by a spatial rift.
Boom!
The craft exploded and left no trace behind.
