Chapter 353

Hunted Dog

"Buluolin?" Luo Feng clenched his fists, his knuckles white and cracking, his eyes filled with icy killing intent, waves of fury crashing against his reason. "Third Brother, are you alright?" Hong, standing nearby, jumped and quickly asked. Luo Feng took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the rage in his heart. "I'm fine," Luo Feng shook his head. Others might not know, but Luo Feng himself was very clear: after becoming a Golden Horned Beast, he was influenced by the Golden Horned Beast's innate nature! Back then, the frenzied killing and venting in the slaughterhouse had brought him much relief, but precisely because of that intense release, the killing intent deep within his bones had grown even stronger. It was like an addict who couldn't resist indulging in their addiction for a moment of pleasure, only to find their addiction growing stronger. It was the same principle; Luo Feng was now someone addicted to 'bloodlust.' And as one of the twelve peak bloodlines among Starry Sky Behemoths, the Golden Horned Beast possessed powerful aggression. That icy, tyrannical killing intent was purely ingrained in its bones and soul; there had never been a Golden Horned Beast known for its kindness. "Sanzi?" Lei Shen also walked over. "I'm fine." Luo Feng squatted down, looking at the heavily injured Aogu beside him. Aogu's messy dark red hair and pale face from severe injuries made Luo Feng bite his lip. Luo Feng looked up at his two elder brothers. Hong and Lei Shen were old enough to be Luo Feng's grandfathers, naturally concerned for their youngest and most exceptionally talented Third Brother. "Big Brother, Second Brother, don't worry, I won't act rashly," Luo Feng said. "Phew, that's good." Lei Shen nodded. "We can't forget this grudge, but we must stay calm! Like when Big Brother and I went through the Great Nirvana Period, countless cities on Earth were destroyed by monster attacks, and many humans died. But no matter how much hatred or anger we felt, we had to endure it!" "Compared to that, this small vendetta is truly nothing. When we get the chance later, we'll just come back for revenge," Lei Shen said casually. Hong also nodded slightly. In terms of experience and wisdom, Hong and Lei Shen were indeed far superior to Luo Feng. "I understand," Luo Feng nodded. "Moreover, the one who dispatched those forces was the Ninth Prince Buluolin! Compared to Buluolin, we are utterly powerless to resist." "Buluolin?" Hong and Lei Shen exclaimed in surprise. "Yes," Luo Feng nodded. "Earlier, when I was wandering around the allied forces, I used my detection device to record the appearance and aura of everyone in the army. That group of people were Buluolin's subordinates." "This is troublesome now," Lei Shen shook his head. "This vendetta will be very difficult to avenge," Hong also shook his head. "We'll have to endure for a long time." Luo Feng understood this too. Someone of Buluolin's status was definitely among the highest echelons in the vast Black Dragon Mountain Starfield. "We can't just let Nanhe's death go," Lei Shen sneered. "I don't believe the other factions will just stand by and watch Buluolin grow stronger! After all, out of nearly 2 million troops, Buluolin only controls a little over 220,000. When they start fighting amongst themselves, we'll ambush them at a critical moment!" Hong couldn't help but smile. "That will have to wait until the Moyun Vine evolves," Luo Feng said. ... The spaceship continuously moved away from the core area of the Realm-within-a-Realm, rapidly flying into the distance. Along the way. They avoided various adventurer teams, as news of a 'spaceship appearing in the Realm-within-a-Realm' should spread as slowly as possible. ... At the edge of the Realm-within-a-Realm, in a continuous, vast mountain range, a spaceship appeared above it, then vanished into thin air. Inside a dark cave deep within the mountain range. "Big Brother, Second Brother, please help take care of Aogu," Luo Feng said. "Understood," Hong nodded. "Don't worry," Lei Shen smiled. "Master, I'm fine," Aogu, who had recovered quite a bit, quickly called out. Luo Feng glanced at him, smiled, and then swiftly darted out of the cave, directly arriving several kilometers away. The plants and trees in this mountain range had grown for tens of millions of years, incredibly lush. Luo Feng, in his alloy battle armor, stood on the muddy ground, his eyes scanning the surroundings like sharp blades. "Moyun." Luo Feng sent a thought. "Woo!" The Moyun Vine transmitted a joyful thought. Then, as Luo Feng spread his hands, countless Moyun Vines extended wildly, rapidly shooting in all directions... Centered around Luo Feng, thick vines, nearly a meter in diameter and stretching as far as the eye could see, spread out like colossal pythons covering the sky and earth. At the same time, from these thick, endlessly long vines, countless thinner tendrils and numerous broad leaves extended. They covered everything! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Large numbers of vines and roots directly plunged into the soil, piercing through it as if it were tofu, rapidly extending deeper and deeper underground. ... Each main vine was 30,000 meters long, or 30 kilometers! A total of 36 such 30-kilometer-long vines, with numerous thin tendrils and leaves, and equally lush root systems. In an instant, this continuous, vast mountain range, at least the surrounding area, was completely rooted and integrated by these long vines. The core of the Moyun Vine's spread was Luo Feng, clad in his alloy battle armor. "Now is the most crucial moment," Luo Feng took a deep breath. A giant leaf swayed before him. With a flip of his hand, the almost transparent stone box appeared. Luo Feng stared at the faint glimmer of light within the transparent stone box, took a deep breath, and opened it. Snap! After the stone box opened, with a flick of his wrist, the 'Life Fruit' emanating an intoxicating aroma from within the box was directly tossed up, flying towards the giant leaf. Immediately, the leaf shot upwards, and the massive leaf, like a huge mouth, directly swallowed the Life Fruit whole. Hiss, hiss~~ The giant leaf rapidly contracted, retracting back into the ground. "This is truly heartbreaking," Babata's voice echoed in Luo Feng's mind. "A single Life Fruit is an invaluable treasure that even Sector Lords highly covet. It could be exchanged for a whole group of Universe Level servants! Now it's just been fed to the Moyun Vine, it's truly heartbreaking." "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Babata, you were the one who told me that." "I know it's what needs to be done, but it still hurts. Such a waste of treasure," Babata lamented. Luo Feng's thoughts, however, were entirely on the Moyun Vine: "Babata, how long will the Moyun's transformation take?" "Can't you see for yourself?" Babata said indifferently. Immediately, Luo Feng saw on his armguard screen that underground, green light flowed like lightning through the thick vines, which themselves pulsed like a heart, alternately expanding and contracting. However, each expansion was greater than the contraction, causing the vines' volume to continuously increase. ... Realm-within-a-Realm, core area. Allied forces, within the main tent at the heart of the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land's numerous armies. Bang! A teacup, like a bolt of lightning, was violently smashed onto the ground, instantly shattering into pieces that flew in all directions, striking the tent walls. "Bastards, bastards, bastards, a bunch of bastards." Buluolin stood in the main tent, letting out furious roars. "I told them to speed up, but every single one of them was arrogant. And now? The Inheritance Crystal Ball has three layers of passwords, and I only got two. Just one more layer... but without that one layer, I can't get the Inheritance Crystal Ball at all!" "Idiots, a bunch of idiots." "Useless!!!" Buluolin cursed furiously, his previous calm and composed demeanor completely gone. It wasn't surprising that he was angry. He had guaranteed to his maternal grandfather and other elders in the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land that he would definitely obtain the Inheritance Crystal Ball and present it to his grandfather. The Ninth Prince 'Buluolin' knew very well that his special status among the many princes was due to the strength of his maternal lineage! When his grandfather gave an order, he naturally had to strive to get the Inheritance Crystal Ball for him. But who would have thought that when he went to redeem the second password just now, the intelligent lifeform 'White-Bearded Old Man' had remarked with emotion: "Young man, you are truly lucky. Only the last layer of the three passwords remains. If you had come any later, you might not have been able to redeem the bank account password for this Inheritance Crystal Ball." "Lucky my ass!" "My ass, indeed." Buluolin's face was contorted with rage. Indeed. Only with all three passwords could one retrieve the stored Inheritance Crystal Ball from the bank. Without the other password, his two passwords were utterly useless. "Hmph, hmph." Buluolin's breathing was heavy, his gaze sweeping over the two bodyguards in front of him. Both bodyguards knelt there, not daring to utter a sound. "Your Highness." A figure ran in from outside, it was Katuluo, one of Buluolin's personal bodyguards. "Hmm?" Buluolin stared coldly. Bodyguard Katuluo jumped in fright, immediately kneeling respectfully: "Your Highness, we dispatched a thousand-man squad to pursue those five individuals earlier, but... who would have thought those five individuals actually had a spaceship?" "What, a spaceship?" Buluolin frowned and snapped. "Yes, a spaceship," Katuluo quickly said. "The enemy escaped in a spaceship." The other two kneeling bodyguards exchanged glances, utterly astonished. Someone actually brought an adventure spaceship into the Realm-within-a-Realm... it was simply unbelievable. "To create a spatial storage item, one needs to cut out a section of cosmic space and seal it within the item," Buluolin frowned, thinking to himself. "The larger the space, the harder it is to cut and seal. High-grade spatial storage items capable of holding a spaceship... it is said that only powerful beings among the great immortal existences can create them." "Each one is extremely expensive," Buluolin wondered. "How could these five people bring a spaceship in?" Buluolin was very puzzled. Because even he, as the Ninth Prince of the Empire, only received a spatial ring from his doting maternal grandfather that could barely hold a spaceship. At the time, his grandfather had explained in great detail the preciousness of such high-grade spatial storage items. "Perhaps they got incredibly lucky and found it in the ruins of some powerful being," Buluolin stopped thinking about it. "Issue an order, transmit the appearance and information of those five individuals to the seven major squads. If they are found, kill them on sight," Buluolin commanded, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. "Those five individuals are a minor matter. The most important thing now is to find out whose hands the last password has fallen into!"
