Chapter 1292: Global Manhunt Part 16
Looking at Carmen’s disappearing silhouette, Xu Feng simply smiled slightly.
She left angrily, but still dropped an item on the ground.
As Xu Feng picked up the item, he couldn’t help but wonder how helpless he looked from her perspective.
Tier 2 Ragged Scrolls - Force of Nature
This particular ragged scroll enabled him to utilize nature force to sweep the area while allowing him to use the wind to teleport away at a large distance.
One could say this ragged scroll was both an offensive and defensive tool.
The price for this particular ragged scroll was at least 20 gold coins.
Moreover, it cannot be purchased through normal means. One needed sufficient authority and privilege to be eligible to even purchase an item of this caliber.
"Carmen always mentioned how my solo adventure was fruitful, but she never even looked at herself." Xu Feng murmured, finding her adventure to be more fortuitous than his.
At times, he was really envious of her achievement and found his effort to be useless in the face of a genius.
However, he would always snap out of it and keep his progress steady. Reality had proven to him that the strategy worked.
Having advanced to Tier 2 and earned even more powerful skills, Xu Feng had risen to the top leaderboard.
Still, he didn’t dare to act cocky or anything.
’That silenced moment. I need to check back the recording and see who is responsible for it.’ He made a mental note to himself.
For someone to be capable of silencing him with such a small margin of error, he needed to be extra careful with them.
He couldn’t afford to let such an enemy go.
...
"Achoo!" Carmen suddenly sneezed aloud midway through phasing the void portal.
"Why do I suddenly feel a cold chill?" She paused her movement and rubbed her arms. She suddenly had a premonition that someone was onto her and that it wasn’t going to be something good.
As she continued to ponder over this uncomfortable feeling, she finally figured out the source.
’Crap, the Guild Leader has been recording the battle from the beginning.’ Her face turned ghastly pale as she turned around, looking at the distance where Xu Feng was.
If there was anyone or anything that could make her tremble in the Divine World, there was only Xu Feng. Veronica didn’t count because the two of them were besties, so there was never any danger.
However, Xu Feng was a different story.
If he came to learn that his silence was actually done by his trusted companion, then, given his personality, she was truly afraid of the repercussions.
Everyone who interacted with Xu Feng long enough knew that what he despised the most was betrayal from people he trusted.
Unwilling to face the dreadful horror of being isolated or ignored by Xu Feng, she decided to come clean.
Lunar Wraith: Guild Leader, I have come to surrender. Please forgive me... your silence from earlier was done by me. Forgive me, and I’ll put on a bikini personally for you to see.
’A seductive reward should be spicy enough, right?’ Carmen sent the message immediately without any hesitation. She held some beliefs that the last sentence would dispel his anger.
After all, in the worst-case scenario, she would simply put on a bikini for him to see.
"It’s not like I’ll lose out on anything." She patted herself and was ready to face the consequences. She continued her way toward Haven Wind Town.
While she made the decision in her mind, far away from her, Xu Feng nearly lost his balance.
"What the hell?!" He choked on his saliva and was forced to halt his movement. His body trembled slightly in disbelief at Carmen’s honest confession.
He didn’t know whether to be mad or amused.
To think the enemy he was so overly concerned for was actually Carmen all along.
The many precautions he was taking became a fat joke!
’Wear a bikini for me? This Carmen is really playing with fire.’ Xu Feng twitched his mouth and decided to ignore the message.
He couldn’t afford to let his mind imagine her in a bikini.
Did this Carmen not know how many men she had charmed during the short drama production?
If it weren’t for his presence being constantly near her, then there would have been a ton of confessions or an invitation to dinner.
Sometime later, Xu Feng resumed his pace and continued to advance toward the Azure Dungeon location.
As he made his advancement, his location was once again pinged live for everyone.
"Look at the pings!"
"One is coming toward us and another one is fleeing?"
"What the heck is this diversion tactic?"
Players surrounding and sieging the Haven Wind Town were startled by the latest location ping.
They had thought the remaining two would be heading toward them.
Who could have predicted such a development?
Despite the unexpected development, some of the players began to wonder who was coming their way.
"It can’t be the Guild Leader Lin Feng, right?" A Tier 1 level 68 player questioned nervously. "He’s just a healer, so he shouldn’t be able to do much, right?"
"Just a healer? If only that’s the case. Both Lin Feng and Eclipse Nova are abnormal healers who could deal massive reverse healing damage."
"Please, I’d rather deal with a healer than the Demoness!"
In the blink of an eye, the players began debating heavily as they suddenly sensed a powerful pressure.
Some lower Tier 1 players directly went to their knees from the oppression aura.
"This dreadful aura... It’s definitely the Demoness!"
"Fuck, which bastard jinxed it?"
While the players began cursing at the loudmouth, Carmen emerged in the sky through a void portal.
She appeared majestic and dignified. Her gaze was hovering over those beneath her with an indifferent expression. "Hoh, I was wondering who had the nerve to attack my town, but it’s just a few Tier 2 and a bunch of Tier 1 clowns."
Her serene and soft voice was like the devil’s whisper that haunted every player in the premises.
