Chapter 265 Rotten Water [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets]

Shi Yong pressed the button and said in a low voice, "The target has broken away from the group and ventured deep into the Qinling Mountains alone, heading due west. I've lost him."

A hoarse, synthesized voice came from the other end of the communicator: "Understood."

Target number ten is priceless. You continue to lie in wait in the city and gather intelligence on him. We'll take over the rest.

"Yes, I understand."

Shi Yong nodded slightly, his tone tinged with greed.

He immediately cut off the communication, carefully hid the communicator, and turned to leave.

The moment he turned around——

"Buzz!"

An invisible yet heavy spiritual pressure descended suddenly!

Shi Yong felt as if his brain had been struck by a heavy hammer.

Everything went black before my eyes, my thoughts stopped instantly, and I fell straight backward.

boom!
As he collapsed to the ground unconscious, Xu Feng's figure emerged from the shadows behind him like a ghost.

His eyes were as cold as ice.

Thumping!
Ah Kun landed on Xu Feng's shoulder, looking curiously at Shi Yong on the ground.

Meanwhile, in the nearby woods, Kongkong leaped down and squatted down next to Shi Yong, poking at the strange man.

Xu Feng skillfully completed the body search and quickly located the special communicator.

And several poisons and hidden weapons.

Kongkong observed all of this, lost in thought.

To be honest, Xu Feng never expected that his cautious move would actually catch a fish.

It seems quite a few people are keeping an eye on me.

Which side is this?
Mentioning Shi Yong is like picking up a chick and disappearing quickly into the depths of the dense forest.

In the Qinling Mountains.

Inside a hidden cave.

Xu Feng woke Shi Yong up and used his powerful mental energy to directly invade his consciousness and interrogate him.

Under the crushing pressure, Shi Yong's psychological defenses crumbled rapidly, and he confessed everything like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

Xu Feng only then learned about it.

This guy turned out to be an outer member of the assassin organization "Rotten Water," responsible for intelligence gathering and support.

Xu Feng, due to his recent amazing achievements and the potential he has shown, coupled with the fact that others see him as having "plotted to kill" the Ultimate God of War.

This directly propelled him to 10th place on the "Rotten Water" organization's assassination list, with a bounty of 200 billion dollars.

From the moment he stepped into Base B3, his whereabouts were already being monitored by "Rotten Water's" informants.

Shi Yong received orders to infiltrate the group leaving the city in order to ascertain Xu Feng's movements.

"Stale Water. Ranked tenth."

Xu Feng narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them.

He never expected that his reputation would attract such a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

Moreover, they were targeted as soon as they entered the city.

"It seems there are quite a few people who want me dead."

He glanced at the unconscious Shi Yong but did not take his life.

Instead, they crippled his limbs, bound them tightly, and hid them in a secret place.

He then sent the coordinates and a brief message to his master's wife.

After finishing up the mess, Xu Feng looked into the depths of the Qinling Mountains with a sharp gaze.

The road ahead, besides the strange beasts and the Revival Church, now has another hidden danger: "Corrupted Water."

Xu Feng wasn't particularly worried about having too much debt.

However, the more enemies he has, the more he needs friends.

The Cloud Rabbit clan must be defeated.

Knowing the way well, Xu Feng headed straight for the secluded valley where the Cloud Rabbit Clan village was located.

In just half a day, the picturesque valley surrounded by lush green mountains reappeared before our eyes.

Unlike the previous covert observation.

This time, Xu Feng, holding Kong Kong, directly released a trace of his own gentle yet powerful aura.

The gesture was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, clearly conveying the intention to visit.

Almost instantly, pairs of alert and curious long ears emerged from behind the trees and rocks surrounding the valley.

Dozens of Cloud Rabbit warriors, each wielding their unique and exquisitely crafted longbows, had arrows nocked and aimed at the uninvited guests at the valley entrance.

The leading Cloud Rabbit warrior possessed a significantly stronger aura than his fellow Cloud Rabbits, reaching the level of a Beast General. He stared sharply at Xu Feng, who was leading the charge.

"Human, you've come again. What brings you here this time?"

The Cloud Rabbit Beast General spoke, his voice clear and crisp, yet wary.

However, unlike last time when they were on high alert, the Cloud Rabbit tribe was clearly not as vigilant.

Especially behind the guard, a petite white figure gracefully leaped down from the treetops.

She looked at Xu Feng, especially at Kong Kong and A Kun on his body, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Xu Feng stopped, a friendly smile on his face, and gently conveyed his thoughts to her with his mental power: "Please don't be nervous, respected Cloud Rabbit Clan friend."

I have come with no ill intentions, but rather with a gift.

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out four large alloy boxes.

In front of many members of the Cloud Rabbit clan, he opened the box, revealing some of the gifts he had prepared beforehand—

Twenty specially crafted powerful bows, meticulously forged from Grade A alloy and special animal sinews.

And a whole box full of alloy arrows gleaming with a cold light.

These equipment, in terms of both materials and craftsmanship, far surpass ordinary goods available on the market.

It was far superior to the bows and arrows crafted by the Cloud Rabbit Clan themselves.

"Consider this a small gift from me."

Xu Feng gently placed the bow and arrow on the open ground in front of him.

These bows and arrows are clearly finely crafted and gleam with an alluring luster.

All the Cloud Rabbit warriors stared wide-eyed, their breathing becoming rapid involuntarily.

The Cloud Rabbit Clan's guard's eyes widened instantly.

His throat bobbed involuntarily as he suppressed the longing in his eyes.

After glancing at Xu Feng, he whispered a few words to the handsome rabbit behind him.

The rabbit-girl turned and ran into the valley.

Soon, Elder Yun Song and Elder Yun Feng arrived together.

"Mr. Xu, it's been a long time." Yun Song politely clasped his hands in greeting.

Xu Feng smiled and said, "Elder, I came in a hurry last time and saw how brave the noble warriors were, but they were suffering from poor equipment. I felt sorry for them."

This small gift is specially prepared in the hope that it will lend the nobles a helping hand, giving them a little more strength to protect themselves in these chaotic times.

Upon seeing the gifts on the ground, Yun Feng, who had previously been rude to Xu Feng, couldn't help but feel a slight warmth in his eyes.

Yun Song sighed, shook his head slightly, turned to Xu Feng, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Mr. Xu, please come with me."

Xu Feng smiled slightly and followed.

Yunfeng led the way.

Yun Song accompanied him side by side.

A group of Cloud Rabbit warriors surrounded the three, carrying the weapons, which immediately attracted more Cloud Rabbits.

Seeing those exquisite bows and arrows, some people couldn't resist wanting to try out their power.

Only after being glared at by Yun Feng did those people withdraw their hands.

Entering that valley, which resembled a paradise, once again, the scenery remained breathtaking.

The villagers of the Cloud Rabbit Clan all cast curious glances at Xu Feng when he returned.

But when they saw Ah Kun, especially when they felt the faint pressure emanating from Ah Kun that belonged to a lord-level creature, they couldn't help but show their awe.

Yun Song looked at A Kun curiously: "Is this the Azure Phoenix?"

"Oh? I didn't expect Elder Yun Song to know him!"
That's right, this is Ah Kun, my friend whom I raised since I was a child.

Ah Kun, say hello quickly.

Xu Feng said with a smile. "Chirp chirp!" Ah Kun nodded proudly to Yun Song, then jumped onto Kong Kong's head.

Kongkong scratched at the bird in dissatisfaction, but Akun dodged it. The monkey and the bird then chased and played among the crowd.

Wherever they went, many Cloud Rabbit people bowed their heads slightly in respect.

Soon, they arrived at the central area of ​​the Cloud Rabbit Clan. Xu Feng paused briefly and took out the fifth and sixth boxes.

Opening the box revealed various types of healing potions, antidotes, and health-restoring potions.

The sheer variety is enough to support a small army in a high-intensity battle.

"These are all kinds of potions made by my human race's technology. I had my fox friends label them with their names and effects in a foreign language."

These supplies are worth nearly one billion Daxia coins.

In particular, those fifty A-grade powerful bows and their matching arrows were practically tailor-made for the Cloud Rabbit Clan, who excelled in speed and ranged attacks.

It can boost the combat power of their beast soldiers and beast generals by several levels!
Looking at the weapons, equipment, and life-saving medicines gleaming with an alluring luster, all the Cloud Rabbit tribesmen breathed heavily, their eyes filled with longing.

Even the elders of the clan could not remain calm, their faces filled with shock.

Their people have lived here for generations; how could they have ever seen such sophisticated and abundant equipment?

On ordinary days, they mostly use bone arrows and stone axes.

The best weapons are nothing more than ancient relics occasionally unearthed from the mountains.

Not all ancient artifacts are intact.

In reality, most of the ancient artifacts unearthed are damaged, and very few are usable, let alone those divine weapons that can be considered treasures.

Even if it exists, only a very small number of high-ranking lords can use it.

However, the items that Xu Feng presented were suitable for most of the clansmen.

To them, these were undoubtedly fantastic weapons and medicines!

"Young friend Xu Feng, this gift is far too generous!"

Elder Yun Song's voice was somewhat hoarse.

He knew that by accepting this generous gift, the Cloud Rabbit Clan would be completely bound to Xu Feng and the human race.

Xu Feng looked at Yun Song and said sincerely, "Elder, the world is in chaos, and it is difficult to remain aloof."

Surrounded by powerful enemies, and with powerful clans annexing their territory.

No one can guarantee that this mountain range will remain peaceful forever, not even the divine ape.

I do not intend to enslave the nobles, but rather to form a mutually supportive alliance with them.

These supplies are a testament to my sincerity.

Noble warriors are skilled archers; with these bows and arrows, they can fully utilize their talents and better protect their homes.

He paused, then continued, "Furthermore, I can promise that if any nobles are in trouble in the future, I, Xu Feng, and even the Great Xia behind me, will do our best to help them."

At the same time, if the nobles have surplus medicinal herbs, minerals, or underground discoveries, I can exchange them for the materials you need at market price or even higher.

The fox clan is like this, the tree clan is like this, and the cloud rabbit clan can do the same.

Furthermore, you don't need to explain these things to outsiders, nor do you need to favor the human race; simply maintain your original stance.

Xu Feng's words combined soft and hard tactics, and there was simply no way to refuse him.

At the same time, it also indicates that the Cloud Rabbit Clan will not be made to suffer in the dimensional war.

Silence fell over the open space, broken only by the heavy breathing and heartbeats of the Cloud Rabbit Clan members.

All eyes were focused on Elder Yun Song.

Yun Song's expression shifted, as he engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

reject?

The longing looks in his people's eyes and the increasingly dangerous situation outside made him unable to speak.

accept?

This means that the future fate of the race will be closely linked to the human being before them.

"I need to discuss this matter."

Yun Song took a deep breath and looked at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng smiled slightly: "Elder Yun Song, there's no need to feel pressured."

I said I wouldn't make things difficult for the Cloud Rabbit Clan.

"Please continue your discussion. I'll head back now. I'm going to the mountains to cultivate in a few days, and I'll visit you again when I pass by."

Then, Xu Feng summoned Ah Kun, and turned to leave with Kong Kong.

Three days later.

He visited again, bringing with him many healing medicines and a batch of medical equipment.

This time, he acted like a lecturer imparting medical knowledge, explaining to many of the lower-ranking members of the rabbit tribe how to simply heal and treat wounds.

Afterwards, he had a friendly sparring session with a lord-level expert from the Cloud Rabbit Clan.

By the time Xu Feng left, he had already made friends with several beast generals and two lords within the Cloud Rabbit Clan.

On his fourth visit, Yun Song finally led him into a tent.

Facing Xu Feng, Yun Song remained silent for a long time.

a long time.

He let out a long breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

He looked at Xu Feng, his eyes hardening, and slowly, solemnly bowed: "Mr. Xu, the Cloud Rabbit Clan wishes to form an alliance with you."

From now on, you will be the spirit medium of my clan.

Our race is willing to exchange goods and resources with the human race, form secret alliances, and watch over each other.

This ceremony represents the recognition and entrustment of an ancient race.

To Xu Feng's surprise, the Cloud Rabbit Clan was actually willing to form an alliance with the Human Clan!

This is truly a wonderful gift!
Even the fox clan, with which they have such a good relationship, remains neutral, only willing to do business with the human race rather than be bound together with them.

But the Cloud Rabbit Clan has taken such big steps?

Xu Feng smiled sincerely and stepped forward to help Yun Song up: "Elder, you flatter me. Since we are allies, we are friends. Just call me Xu Feng."

The bitterness on Yun Song's face disappeared, leaving only a big smile: "Let's call each other Brother Xu. I'm a bit older than you, so I'll take advantage of you."

"Brother Yun, you're too kind. Come, let's discuss the alliance in detail."

Xu Feng pulled Yun Song's hand and sat down again.

Yun Song looked slightly worried and said, "Alright, our clan not only faces a shortage of resources, but also the threat of two other clans."

One is the Qinling tiger clan, and the other is the crested ibis clan. I declined your invitation before because I didn't want to cause any more trouble.

But after we parted that day, the people of the tribe really loved the gifts you gave them.

Looking back now, the Cloud Rabbit clan actually needed to change a long time ago; their reluctance to change was simply due to their conservative mindset.

"If we seize this opportunity to form an alliance with the human race, we might be able to find peace and development in this chaotic world."

“Brother is absolutely right. Moreover, forming an alliance with me is not only an alliance with the Great Xia human race, but also with the Snow Region Fox Clan and the Wumeng Mountain Tree Clan.”

However, Xu Feng was a little curious about this.

Given the "value" and "status" of the Cloud Rabbit clan, besides the fact that he would exploit their "archaeological" value, why would those alien races also threaten them?
Surely it's not still biological competition, is it?

Ask as soon as it comes to mind.

Faced with Xu Feng's question, Yun Song sighed: "Actually, this all started with an underground excavation by our clan four hundred years ago."

In short, our clan discovered a relic within a relic in an ancient underground ruin.

Moreover, it was the infamous "Blood Slaughter Treasury" from ancient times, which immediately attracted the attention of several alien races.

The greatest threats to our tribe are the Qinling tiger tribe and the crested ibis tribe.

In the past, my three clans were allies, but because of this treasure vault, the other two clans turned against us and repeatedly threatened my clan to hand over the address.

If it weren't for our clan threatening to expose the treasure vault's location, we would probably have ceased to exist long ago.

The demands of both clans were simple: our clan must not reveal the location of the treasure vault to anyone.

They didn't insist that we tell them.

That's what they say, but for hundreds of years they've been trying every possible way to get their hands on the treasure vault.

Recently, they've even started making murder threats.

Xu Feng exclaimed in shock, "The Blood Slaughter Treasure Vault? Did I hear that right? It's the treasure vault left behind by the ancient powerhouse Blood Slaughter, which opens only once every five hundred years?"

"Yes!" Yun Song exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect Brother Xu to know as well?"

Xu Feng was immediately taken aback, but said aloud, "I've only heard people say that there's something special about the Blood Slaughter Treasure Vault. Why are the Tiger Clan and the Crested Ibis Clan so interested in it?"
