Chapter 458: Dangerous Existence in the Red Quicksand Moat

Somehow, another man was standing in this central tent. This man wasn’t that tall, but he was strong. His curly long black hair showed that he had the blood of Jax in him, and multiple golden rings braided his hair into strands. He had his hands behind his back, and the dark-yellow delicate robe on him added to his majesty and commanding presence.

“Get up, don’t be too hard on yourself. In my opinion, you already did great,” this man said to Fairenton without even turning around to look at him, but no one could go against his voice.

“But……” Fairenton looked more ashamed after he heard that. He said, “I wasn’t able to conquer Dual-Flags City, and our men are stopped here for a long time. On top of that, a lot of our food supplies were burned……”

“Conquer Dual-Flags City?” that man laughed and said, “It is too difficult! You underestimated Zenit! Even if I led the troops here myself, I would have to pay a hefty price. Do you know how much energy and effort Yassin put into this city? Hehe, do you think Yassin got his name from nowhere? How could a city designed by him be easily conquered? I allowed you to come here, but I wasn’t planning for you to get military merits; I wanted you to know about things that you didn’t know before…… Besides, who knew that a genius like Alexander would appear in Zenit. Yassin’s heart and mind are still worth praising! He values this little guy a lot as well!”

That man paused for a second before he changed the topic, “Eh, I already saw the military report you gave to the Military Headquarter. It was good! You could only think that way when you are clear on certain subjects. You did the right thing as well. The background of this King Alexander is special, so it is good that you two built a certain level of friendship. However, that is not enough! You need to know more about him! Maybe one day, he could work for us and be of great assistance to you!”

“Yes, I understand,” Fairenton replied; he was even more respectful towards this man compared to his master [Snow Mountain Hermit]. He slowly got up and asked after a moment of thought, “Our food supplies got……”

That man turned around and waved his hand as he said, “Don’t worry, I already knew about it. I came here tonight because of it, and I already ordered Davis to get another shipment of food supplies here by tomorrow. It should last you a while.”

“General Davis is coming? That is great!” Fairenton got excited.

Davis was one of the few top-tier generals Jax had. He was one of the few influential figures from the last dynasty, and he had blocked Emperor Yassin outside of Amsterdam for more than ten days. If the nobles and officials of Jax weren’t that corrupt and didn’t strip away this general’s military status, Emperor Yassin wouldn’t be able to conquer Amsterdam that easily 26 years ago.

……

……

“Dual-Flags City’s defense wall is solid! As I expected, it is enough to defend against the angry strike from [Snow Mountain Hermit]. However, the brown power flame and the magic runes and symbols are too mysterious and powerful!” Fei thought as he stood on a sand hill that was 2.5 kilometers away from the city.

Fei actually didn’t go back to the city but instead went out of Jax’s defense line.

Even though he was a lot more powerful after he advanced to the Moon-Class, he was still weaker than [Snow Mountain Hermit] in terms of absolute strength. If the battle prolonged, he would get into a disadvantage. Fei wasn’t planning to kill this man who caused both Angela and Elena to faint; he only wanted to see if he could get more information on the underground ocean and to battle an opponent who could bring him enough pressure so that he could get used to using his new power effectively.

Of course, beating [Snow Mountain Hermit]’s butt in front of the soldiers and commanders of Jax was also one of the reasons, and it dropped the morale of his enemies as he expected.

After the three strikes and the short battle, he got everything he wanted; this mission was a success.

Next, Fei dashed toward Death Ancient City quickly.

30,000 soldiers in [Wolf Teeth Legion] and most of the supplies for the legion were now inside Death Ancient City. Although Magic Princess Cindy and [Silver-Armored Vicious Sword] Reyes were guarding the city, Fei wanted to go back and check on it. After all, this city hadn’t been occupied for hundreds of years, and there might be dangers hidden in it.

Fei who was now a Moon-Class Elite was speedy. As if he was a dash of lightning, Death Ancient City was already within his sight after a few seconds. Like a terrifying beast, this city was silent yet looked vicious.

On the way to Death Ancient City, Fei was sensing the changes that took place in his body after his advancement.

Since he got trained and nurtured by Martial Saint Krasic of Zenit, he had a solid foundation, and he had granular control of his power. Most of the masters would feel like the new power was hard to control after they advanced to Moon-Class, but it wasn’t the case for Fei. He quickly got used to this mighty force.

At the moment, a pair of silver wings that had a wingspan of more than 20 meters were on Fei’s back, and Fei looked like a majestic lord who was looking over his loyal subjects. If someone took a better look at this pair of wings, they would realize that the wings were made from pure strength but looked real. Since Fei had complete control of this new power, he was able to go fast or slow at his own will.

This was one of the secret techniques of Moon-Class Elites.

As Moon-Class Elites, they could control their power to a more granular degree; making a pair of wings out of their energy was only one use. On top of that, they could create weapons and armors. It was heard that peak Full Moon Elites could even create castles, cities, and avatars; the use of the energy was almost limitless.

With the pair of wings on his back, Fei felt the freedom of going anywhere in the sky as he wished, and he quickly got to the red quicksand moat outside of Death Ancient City.

The King looked at the moat and suddenly thought of something. Soon, his Spirit Energy spread out and dived into the quicksand.

In the next moment, he ‘saw’ a terrifying scene with his Spirit Energy.

Hundreds of millions of Berserk Metal-Eating Ants crawled inside this sea of quicksand! The sheer number of ants gave Fei goosebumps! Regular ants could devour an elephant if there were enough of them, let alone these unique ants that could consume metal. If these ants could leave the quicksand and attack humans, no military could stop them!

“Fortunately, this type of ants isn’t considered a Demon Beast, and they don’t have the intelligence that Demon Beasts possess. Thank god they couldn’t leave the quicksand…… Otherwise, it would be a catastrophe for both Jax and Zenit…… Danger! What is this?”

Fei suddenly sensed something and instantly flew higher into the sky.

About 100 meters deep inside the quicksand moat, he suddenly sensed a murderous and ferocious sea of Spirit Energy! As if it was triggered, it started to attack Fei’s Spirit Energy viciously. Fei’s Spirit Energy got kicked out and injured, and Fei’s face paled. In that split second, he felt weak and almost fell into the red quicksand moat.

“Such a terrifying Spirit Energy! Could it be that there is a bigger secret deep inside this red quicksand moat?”

Fei had never been this shocked before.

He had never sensed such a powerful Spirit Energy before! Even masters like [Snow Mountain Hermit] was weak in terms of Spirit Energy in Fei’s eyes since they didn’t focus on cultivating it. However, Fei was able to use the techniques recorded on the purple scroll to build up his Spirit Energy. At this point, Spirit Energy was the King’s secret trump card!

However, he sensed another Spirit Energy that was far beyond his level. When Fei’s Spirit Energy touched it, he felt like this unknown Spirit Energy was vast like the sea, and his Spirit Energy was tiny like a sand grain. It was fortunate that he withdrew his Spirit Energy quickly; otherwise, he could be severely injured.

Although Fei’s Spirit Energy only came to contact with that other Spirit Energy for a split second, his Spirit Energy decreased by ten levels.

“That unknown Spirit Energy could consume others’ Spirit Energies?”

Fei thought about that as he sped up and flew over the red quicksand moat; he no longer dared to detect what was under the quicksand.

“Who is it? Stop right there!” a few shouts sounded on the defense wall, and a team of soldiers quickly rushed over to Fei. The warrior who was leading this team was wearing a set of fancy silver armor and was quite handsome; who could it be if it wasn’t [Silver-Armored Vicious Sword] Reyes?

“Don’t worry. It is me,” Fei put away his silver wings and landed on the defense wall.
