Chapter 804 - Immeasurable Sap
Chapter 804: Immeasurable Sap
It was not until an hour later that everybody, including Han Fei, finally had recovered.
Having fought against a Divine weapon in a head-on clash, Han Fei realized the limits of his resistance. Little Fatty was badly wounded but not killed. With its ability of limb regeneration, it could heal itself in good time.
His body was strong, but not strong enough in front of Divine weapons. He had to make a breakthrough to be a peak-level Hanging Fisher before he returned to the Scattered Stars Island, because he couldn’t come out easily after he returned.
Since the Leafless Tree promised him that it could create a path out, he was not in a hurry at all. He could cultivate and make a breakthrough while he was still here.
A moment later, the Leafless Tree informed the human beings that the sea demons had teleported them out.
Han Fei had basically recovered. He rose and walked to the crowd with Luo Xiaobai.
Han Fei said to Shi Sanyue, who seemed to be the person in charge, “Little girl, I made great contributions to the victory, didn’t I?”
Shi Sanyue nodded. “Of course. After we return to the Scattered Stars Island, I’ll personally report to Lord Xue Shenqi.”
Han Fei grinned and nodded. “It’s impossible for me to claim my rewards, so I’ll just give them away to Luo Xiaobai and Le Renkuang. How does that sound?”
Shi Sanyue was stunned and silent for a moment. “I don’t have the final say on the matter, but I’ll try to speak for you. You’re not coming back with us?”
Han Fei waved his hands. “You can go back! I have my own way to return. Also, the Leafless Tree is heavily wounded and vulnerable to the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demons. I need to watch over it.”
Everybody was dazed for a while. Then, they realized that a Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon wasn’t easy to deal with.
Shi Sanyue nodded in appreciation. “Thank you very much, Senior. We’ll return to the island.”
After that, Shi Sanyue opened a map and a mysterious array rose. Very soon, a dark gate to the void was opened.
Han Fei glanced at Le Renkuang and suddenly gave him a kick. “Train harder after you come back instead of eating all the time. You told me about so many foods that I can’t even eat. I’m so hungry…”
Le Renkuang was lost for words. Aren’t you having a great time pretending to be a Senior Uncle?
Many other people secretly laughed and found the Inferior Man-Fish very amusing.
A moment later, after everybody left, Han Fei summoned the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp and Little Gold and then put an ultra-quality demonic stone in the Overlord. Then he said, “Protect me. I’m going to transform.”
…
In the central city on the Scattered Stars City.
Xue Shenqi was listening to Shi Sanyue’s report attentively. All the other captains were here too, waiting for his reply.
After the report was over, Xue Shenqi frowned and glanced at Luo Xiaobai. “An expert of the Thug Academy possessed an Azure Sea Blue Demon?”
Luo Xiaobai nodded. “That’s right. It’s a secret matter of the Thug Academy: I’m quite positive of that.”
Xue Shenqi slightly frowned. Why would an expert of the Thug Academy sneak into the sea demons’ team after so many years?
Xue Shenqi pondered for a moment. “The Divine weapon he used must be the Bone Transformation Spiritual Lamp. Cao Jiaren, did you mention that the puppet killed five enemies in five moves?”
Cao Jiaren nodded. “Yes. He didn’t even use his sword, and five Half-Merman Heavenly Talents in Semi-Divine battle suits were killed without using their Immortal Seals. However, the attack seemed to have restrictions, or he could’ve killed all the sea demons on his own.”
Xue Shenqi hummed, wondering whether it was coincidental or intentional that an expert of the Thug Academy appeared at this moment.
He didn’t suspect that guy from the Thug Academy. It was for the big picture and any human being would’ve done that. He was simply caught up wondering who it could be.
A moment later…
Xue Shenqi said unhurriedly, “Give enough compensation to the families, villages and towns of the deceased Heavenly Talents. Also, since someone from the Thug Academy helped, Luo Xiaobai and Le Renkuang will be promoted and rewarded with five million points. You can also choose a heaven-level, high-quality technique for yourself…”
…
The sea demons had retreated from the Scattered Stars Island, and human beings had a chance to rest. All units were calculating their casualties.
On a cliff in a battlefield on the west coast…
Le Renkuang looked at Tang Ge who was skinny and grim and said, “Han Fei is still alive. He asked me to tell that to you.”
Hum!
Airwaves spread out as Tang Ge looked at Le Renkuang with widened eyes, as if he were waiting for Le Renkuang’s confirmation.
Le Renkuang nodded. “If everything goes well, he’ll return to the Scattered Stars Island in half a year. Right, he asked you to go to the Twisted Jungle.”
Tang Ge’s grim face put on a smile, but his clenched and shivering fists exposed his excitement.
…
In the Twisted Jungle.
“Pu!”
Old Jiang spouted out the alcohol in his mouth. “What did you say?”
Tang Ge’s eyes were filled with hope again. “Senior, Han Fei is still alive. He may return in half a year.”
Old Jiang was stunned for a long time, before he said slowly, “He’s still alive even though his Life Tablet was broken? That brat…”
Jiang Qin looked at Tang Ge and said casually, “Since you’re here, stay for dinner!”
Old Jiang snorted. “He knows that I hate trouble and yet he’s sent you here. Nevermind. Tang Ge, now that you’re here, you can stay here for a couple of days and I’ll give you some tests. If you can’t pass them, you’d better go away.”
“Huh?”
Tang Ge was stunned and didn’t know what he meant.
Jiang Qin said, “If Han Fei wanted us to know he was alive, he could’ve asked anyone to deliver the message. He wouldn’t have asked Le Renkuang to tell it to you and let you relay it to us…”
Tang Ge opened his mouth with a bitter smile. He didn’t realize this at all.
…
In front of Han Fei, a soul warrior was performing a boxing technique up and down.
Han Fei said gloomily, “Enough, you’ve performed it eight times.”
“Hahaha! It’s been too long since I’ve had a body. This feels nice. The body’s slightly weak and untalented, but it’s not a big problem.”
Han Fei said unhappily, “Bro, everybody who’s come to this place is a Heavenly Talent. How can they be untalented?”
Shu Shan chuckled. “It’s because you don’t know of my talent in the past! I think that your body is really great, except that its spiritual heritage is too low for your gift.”
Han Fei had regained his human form, which was much more comfortable.
Shu Shan was thrilled to have a human body again after all these years. Han Fei, in comparison, wasn’t too excited. Instead, he felt rather urgent.
Peace was very rare to him. He certainly could not waste any time.
Han Fei looked at the Leafless Tree. “Mr. Tree, you only have six branches, and three of them have been destroyed. Are you waiting for all of them to grow back?”
The Leafless Tree put on a smile. “Of course not, it will take another thirty years if I want to regrow them.”
Han Fei was lost for words. “Thirty years? Just three branches?”
“My main wounds are the destruction of the root rather than that of the branches. I’ve tried to heal them, but they’re not fully recovered.”
Han Fei said unconcernedly, “It’s fine as long as you can get me out. Hey, Old Shu, will you go to the Scattered Stars Island after you get out?”
Shu Shan shook his head. “Of course not. This is not my age anymore. Why would I run errands for the juniors on the Scattered Stars Island? I’ll spend the next few months recovering my strength and familiarizing myself with my battle techniques. After we go out, we can split up.”
Han Fei was briefly stunned. “Split up? Not that I’m underestimating you, Old Shu, but your body is just that of a peak-level Hanging Fisher. How far can you go even if you get out? Besides, the sea around the Scattered Stars Island is the sea demons’ territory. Are you sure you want to travel alone?”
Shu Shan put on a brilliant smile. “Who do you think I am? I’m Shu Shan! Why do you think those regular Half-Mermen and Half-Mermaids can find me?”
Han Fei snorted. “Fine! That body is yours anyway. You can do whatever you want.”
…
Shu Shan picked a place to consolidate himself.
Han Fei hopped to the Leafless Tree and chuckled. “Mr. Tree, is the sap you mentioned ready?”
Shallow green fluid emerged and gathered at a fracture of the Leafless Tree.
A moment later, a ball of sap weighing about two kilograms was formed.
The Leafless Tree seemed even older than before. It said, “You’d better drink it when you strengthen your body.”
Han Fei’s eyes flashed, and his face became solemn. He was rather shocked by the data in his eyes.
