Chapter 830: Not Taking the Flying Shark King?
"As far as I know, the Mountain and Sea Sect and the Soul Loss Sect have fought several battles over the past two years, with heavy casualties on both sides and significant animosity. They shouldn't be collaborating."
"Moreover, the Soul Loss Sect has rarely clashed head-on with our Eastern Border Army. Whenever they encounter us, no matter their strength, they choose to retreat, as if they fear General Shi's 'punishment even at a distance'."
"However, this time, they are directly engaging the Eastern Border Army over a small Peach Blossom Island."
"I can't make sense of it."
"..."
The Commander pondered over this.
Qin Feng took a sip of tea and said, "There is only one reason for such a thing, and that is 'profit'! Perhaps the Mountain and Sea Sect promised them some great benefit."
"But why would the Mountain and Sea Sect bother to counterattack Peach Blossom Island so arduously?" the Commander continued.
"In that case, Peach Blossom Island must not be as simple as it seems."
Qin Feng said.
He pointed to the mountain covered in peach blossoms and said, "Look at those peach blossom trees. Do you notice anything different?"
"They're very beautiful."
The Commander and others said.
Indeed, they were beautiful. The sea breeze carried pink petals fluttering in the blue sky, providing an exceptional sense of comfort, like a beautiful painting.
"But, in this climate, can such beautiful peach blossoms bloom?"
Qin Feng asked again.
"..."
Everyone paused, glancing at each other.
Right!
The place is quite hot, surrounded by the sea, also very humid, with the sun being hotter and more intense than on the mainland, only suitable for growing tropical trees, making the presence of peach blossom trees unbelievable, let alone such beautiful ones!
"Also, the East Sea domain contains thousands of islands, with countless evil forces. Why choose to attack Peach Blossom Island?"
Qin Feng asked again.
"It seems that General Shi followed the Dragon Seeking Plate here."
The Commander said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng stood up and looked at the peach blossoms on the mountain, becoming more and more intrigued.
The East Sea domain is vast.
It is even said that tens of thousands of years ago, a battle between immortals and demons occurred here, leaving many treasures sunken in the sea. Logically, owning the Dragon Seeking Plate should lead to finding those ancient treasures, yet it brought General Shi here.
This place cannot be so simple.
"Alright, let's first find General Shi!"
Qingyun said by the side.
He couldn't wait to stop staying with Qin Feng.
Being with him.
His own brilliance was overshadowed completely.
And, he often got his face slapped.
So he only wanted to complete the task early and return as soon as possible, preferably never seeing Qin Feng again in this lifetime.
"Yes, yes! The main task now is to find General Shi!" the Commander added, "Let me briefly explain our situation first..."
Half a month ago.
General Shi led them to capture this place.
Then.
General Shi researched with the Dragon Seeking Plate here for three days and nights and decided to head southeast.
So he took a hundred men, including seven from the Tiger Shark Team, and set out southeast.
The remaining five hundred men, along with the Commander, stayed to guard Peach Blossom Island.
In the beginning.
The Commander could still contact General Shi and his group.
But a week ago, the day before the island's signal completely disappeared, during communication with General Shi, there was suddenly a series of fierce screams.
"At that time, on the phone, I heard our people sounding as if they were falling apart, shouting 'Devil' 'Devil', then heard General Shi yelling for everyone to 'withdraw'! After that, there was no more news."
"Afterwards, realizing things were amiss, we immediately contacted higher-ups and sent two ships one after another towards the East Sea direction to search. Due to communication issues, they went without any news and have had no information since then..."
The Commander said.
After listening, Qin Feng pondered briefly and said, "Any detailed information? Like records of communication with General Shi before the contact was lost."
"It's all here."
The Commander handed a notebook to Qin Feng and said, "I've documented General Shi's encounters along the way in this notebook."
"Alright, I understand. Please provide us with a small warship! Time waits for no one, and we need to act quickly."
Qin Feng said.
"Sure!"
The Commander immediately went to arrange it, "We'll also arrange for some people to accompany you."
"No need, taking too many people would be useless, they would only become cannon fodder."
Qin Feng said.
"..."
The Commander was suddenly embarrassed.
Indeed.
In the current situation without any cultivation, lives hang by a thread.
At this moment.
Qingyun couldn't help but speak up: "Wait a minute!"
"What's the matter?" Qin Feng asked.
"Are we..." Qingyun couldn't help but say, "not taking the Flying Shark King?"
"We're not taking it. The Flying Shark King will stay here to guard Peach Blossom Island."
Qin Feng said.
The Commander, upon hearing this, immediately stood up in excitement and grasped Qin Feng's hand, nearly kneeling in gratefulness.
Although they had repelled a wave of the Mountain and Sea Sect's attack.
Who knew if they would attack again? With only about twenty of them left, holding the fort would be impossible.
But with the Flying Shark King, it's different; that's a huge combat force!
Qin Feng left the Flying Shark King because he realized that Peach Blossom Island's garrison was too weak.
He had a feeling that Peach Blossom Island was not simple.
He couldn't let it be occupied by others.
"So, what about us??" Qingyun said, spreading his hands, "Without the Flying Shark King, aren't we in great danger?"
"Coming to the East Sea this time, it was already meant to be dangerous!" Qin Feng said.
"..."
Qingyun was at a loss for words.
When he first received this mission, he didn't take it seriously, thinking of himself as a genius of the White Lion Group, a Third Grade Grandmaster, already very powerful.
However.
Coming to the East Sea, first encountering the Big Sea Monster, and only then meeting the Flying Shark King, the Great Thief Bashi, and the recent siege by the Mountain and Sea Sect and the Soul Loss Sect, instilled fear in him.
He realized.
In the current situation at the East Sea, he was just a rookie!
Had it not been for Qin Feng.
Just the ten Fourth Grade or higher Grandmasters from the Soul Loss Sect would have wiped them out.
Therefore.
From the depths of his heart, he felt even more fear about what lay ahead.
"If you're afraid, you can stay on Peach Blossom Island. They need more people here anyway." Qin Feng said.
Qingyun's face flushed, and he hastily said, "I'm not afraid! I'm just worried about Miss Zi Yi and Miss Qingyi!"
"We two are not afraid."
Ziyi and Qingyi said.
"..."
Qingyun's face turned even redder.
Seeing everyone had no objections, Qin Feng then asked Fang Wudi, "Do you know how to sail?"
"Uh, Master, you're not planning to make me go, are you!"
Fang Wudi felt a chill in his heart.
"What do you think? You can't sleep because you miss me so much, can you? It's perfect to go together."
Qin Feng said.
He called Fang Wudi because he knew the journey was fraught with danger, and having an ordinary sailor would only send them to their death. Even though Fang Wudi was a Grandmaster, he had a higher chance of survival.
Of course.
There was another important reason...
