Watching Sheng Tian Ban Bu lead Shi Feng and the others into the wooded area on Dark Mine Island, Bubai Tianxing from the nearby Invincible Sky was completely dumbfounded, the shock in his heart beyond words.
"Vice Leader Bubai, what's going on with you?" Canguang Ruxue from the Nine Serpents couldn't help but ask from the side.
When it came to the vice leader of the Nine Serpents, he could afford to look down on the man, because he was the youngest captain of the Blood War Adventure Team. Although his strength wasn't on par with Bubai Tianxing's, he at least possessed combat power comparable to a top-tier expert.
But when facing the leader of the Nine Serpents, that was an entirely different matter.
The Nine Serpents might not have been as strong as the Blood War, but they were still one of the top ten adventuring teams on Dragon Heart Island. Their leader was on the same level as the leader of the Blood War Adventure Team.
"I don't know, but this matter can only end here. I hope Brother Canguang will understand." Bubai Tianxing shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
He had originally thought Shi Feng was joking with him, but he never expected it to actually be true. Someone even the team leader had to show deep respect to — how could a vice leader like him possibly afford to offend?
"Vice Leader Bubai, you're too modest. Getting to see such a person today means the trip wasn't in vain," Canguang Ruxue said with a smile.
Someone who even Sheng Tian Ban Bu seemed wary of — how could he possibly harbor any notions? Right now, he only hoped Shi Feng would forget about him entirely.
In a spacious clearing within the forest on Dark Mine Island, high-tier tents erected by various factions packed the area, leaving Longyou Tianxia, who had come along with Shi Feng, marveling in astonishment.
Because every faction that had set up a tent here was far more powerful than the Dragon Riders Adventure Team. Just a casual glance revealed numerous adventuring teams ranked among the top fifty on Dragon Heart Island — and these were only the factions camped along the outer perimeter.
As Sheng Tian Ban Bu led them deeper into the interior of the gathering, the factions they encountered grew increasingly powerful, with no shortage of first-rate forces on Dragon Heart Island. It seemed everyone shared an unspoken consensus: only the stronger factions could get closer to the center of the gathering.
And because Sheng Tian Ban Bu was personally leading the way, Shi Feng and the others immediately drew the attention of many present.
"Sheng Tian Ban Bu is personally guiding them? Who are they?"
"Isn't that Longyou Tianxia, the leader of the Dragon Riders Adventure Team? Why is he with them?"
The crowd was quite unfamiliar with Shi Feng and Qinyin, but they knew Longyou Tianxia well — he had been a fixture on Dragon Heart Island for a long time. After all, the Dragon Riders Adventure Team was a well-known team that barely managed to rank among the top hundred on Dragon Heart Island, making it a second-rate force. As the leader of such a team, people had at least some awareness of him.
Looking at the focused gazes of these first-rate Dragon Heart Island factions, Longyou Tianxia felt his heart surge with emotion.
Normally, these first-rate forces on Dragon Heart Island wouldn't even consider teams like his worthy of sitting at the same table. Yet now, thanks to Shi Feng, he was receiving the attention of these top-tier powers — something he had never even dreamed of.
"Leader Longyou, I caused you quite a bit of trouble before. This Ocean Realm Stone is of great help to adventuring teams that operate at sea. I hope you'll accept it." Shi Feng took out the Ocean Realm Stone and said.
He truly appreciated that Longyou Tianxia had stood up on his own initiative. Although the Ocean Realm Stone was precious, it was essentially useless to him — the Sea Beasts it could suppress were only at the Tier 3 Great Lord level. It had barely any effect on High-tier Great Lords, let alone Tier 4 Legendary Sea Beasts.
As for Zero Wing, it went without saying — a single Ocean Realm Stone was as good as nothing. Otherwise, why would Sheng Tian Ban Bu have been willing to hand it over?
On the contrary, for weaker adventuring teams with fewer members, a single Ocean Realm Stone was of tremendous help.
