Chapter 774: 771, Life Risking_1
PS: Apologies, I got home late today, so I sent out this chapter without revising it. If you see it and I refresh half an hour later, that’s the polished version.
To avoid raising Skru people’s suspicion, the blue and white bird flock quickly returned after showing their heads in the Psychic protection shield area.
Shortly after, Zhong Feng, who was following the flock of birds, returned to the central back garden.
In three and a half hours, Manina III and Pu Langte will return, so he must leave before that.
“It seems I have to risk my life.” Zhong Feng helplessly sighed, pulling out two items from his space ring.
One was [Master Level Natural Wisdom Elixir (Gold)], and the other was [Advanced Random Teleport Scroll (Gold)].
The [Master Level Natural Wisdom Elixir] can be considered an exclusive potion for druid and shaman classes, and with Zhong Feng’s current level, it could increase his overall damage output by about 40%.
As for the [Advanced Random Teleport Scroll], this was the “life-risking tool” Zhong Feng was referring to.
After using the [Advanced Random Teleport Scroll], it can randomly transport the player to any location within a 30-kilometer radius.
No teleportation restricting formation has been set inside the Raging Sun palace (in fact, they couldn’t set it up), so the scroll can be used.
If luck was on his side, he could teleport to a quieter place outside the palace and swiftly escape the dangerous situation with his abilities;
But if he was unlucky and appeared in the bustling area around the palace, using the scroll would just make his death faster.
It seemed like the time to risk his life had truly arrived!
…
However, holding the [Advanced Random Teleport Scroll], Zhong Feng hesitated to use it.
To be honest, this thing is too unpredictable, and he didn’t want to stake his life on such an uncertain outcome, especially since he had more than 100 really bad luck streaks.
Plus, the bustling area within a 30-kilometer radius of the palace was essentially still in Sun City. Even if he was a little lucky, he probably wouldn’t be able to escape from the Scuru people.
“Sigh, if only I had Xu Xiaotian’s luck!” Zhong Feng sighed inwardly.
After mulling it over, he decided not to use the scroll just yet, he’d wait and see if a turning point would emerge.
If there’s no other way, he’d use the scroll. Gambling with life was the same whether he did it sooner or later.
…
Time slipped away second by second, and before he knew it, two and a half hours had passed.
In these two and a half hours, Emperor Manina and Minister of Intelligence Xi Weng sat unmoved in the study;
The energy deployed inside the psychic protection shield was continually increasing to prevent any escape opportunity for Zhong Feng;
And the contraction of the space cracks leading to the giant spring eye on Mount Mitchell was gradually easing.
The oscillation will probably end in an hour. By then, the two god-level beings would be able to return to the Skru Star from Blue Star.
…
Seeing only the last hour left, Zhong Feng couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
He hoped his luck could be a little better when he was risking his life!
He held the [Advanced Random Teleport Scroll] in his hand, ready to activate it.
…
However, at this moment, an unexpected turn of events occurred!
A significant commotion suddenly occurred in the palace. Zhong Feng looked up to see Emperor Manina’s figure swiftly flying overhead, heading straight north.
This was his first time seeing Emperor Manina in person, and he didn’t expect it to be in this way.
While Zhong Feng was stunned, Minister of Intelligence Xi Weng and many other high-ranking warriors flew in from the south, disappearing into the northern horizon without looking back.
For a moment, all the high-ranking warriors that had previously been deployed in the palace were nearly gone.
Zhong Feng was a bit confused.
What happened? What big problem happened in the north?
However, he also knew that his chance to escape had come. Now that all the high-ranking warriors in the palace had left, when else would he run if not now?
With the cover of the blue bird flock, it took him about ten minutes to zigzag his way to the southernmost part of the palace, where the palace’s main entrance was.
The energy shield enveloping the palace had now receded to a meter thick, and the originally strict ‘human walls’ had all disappeared.
Zhong Feng used the Mirror Moonstone to easily pass through the psychic protection shield to the outside of the palace. With a face that showed one part relief, one part indifference, and two parts confusion, he headed towards the information point of Ti Qi in the south of the city.
“What the hell happened? Why did Manina stop chasing me and go north instead? Did something big happen there?” As he sped down the road, Zhong Feng wondered.
But with a simple analysis, he could guess the general situation.
The north of the Raging Sun Empire was the Barren Continent, and it’s also the main destination of most players and cultivators of Blue Star. Now that three days had passed, they must have already arrived.
And let’s not forget, Prime Minister Cao Cao should have arrived at the Barren Continent too!
Only Prime Minister Cao Cao’s actions being exposed could make Skru people wildly converge to the north.
…
The actual situation was not far from what Zhong Feng thought. The reason Manina quickly rushed north was precisely because they received news of Prime Minister Cao Cao.
Three days ago, Prime Minister Cao Cao came to the Skru Star, and after finding his location, he immediately rushed to the Barren Continent, entering into the influence of the White-Headed Eagle tribe in the afternoon.
The tribal leader of the White-Headed Eagle tribe, Frank, succumbed to tribal pressure and didn’t help the Skru people guard the giant spring eye, but stayed inside the tribe.
After announcing himself, Prime Minister Cao Cao was warmly received by the tribal leader of the White-Headed Eagles.
The White-Headed Eagles regarded the Skru people as their biggest enemy, a deep hatred like China had for Japan in 1945.
The tribal leader of the White-Headed Eagles also deeply hated the Skru people.
But as a tribal leader, he must remain rational and consider the interest of the entire tribe, so on some key issues, he must temporarily put aside his hatred to obtain more benefits for the tribe.
That Prime Minister Cao Cao had only the interests of the tribe in mind was something he knew well.
So, after arriving on White-Headed Eagle territory, he started from the interests of the White-Headed Eagle tribe, and attempted to persuade them to stand with the people of Blue Star.
He described to the head of the White-Headed Eagles, the number of struggles and the military deployment Blue Star would have at the beginning of the war, just revealing one piece of information – at the beginning of the war, Blue Star and the Skru people would be evenly matched!
As long as the White-headed Eagles are willing to stand with us, we can eliminate their arch-rival, the Skru people, and your tribe will have a broader development space on the Skru Star!
