For a moment, the surrounding Black Ghouls seemed to have descended into hell.
They turned to ashes in the Hellfire, vanishing without a trace.
Around the Black Orb, where there had once been densely packed Black Ghouls, not a single one remained.
Luo Feng stepped forward toward the Black Orb.
Strangely, new Black Ghouls were slowly gathering around the orb.
As soon as they materialized, Luo Feng incinerated them with a wave of fire.
A Black Mist Crystal appeared midair.
With a casual flick of his wrist, Luo Feng stored the crystal in his space ring.
"Acquired Level 5 Black Mist Crystal: +1"
Thousandfold Reward
"Acquired Level 5 Black Mist Crystal: +1000"
Luo Feng no longer felt much excitement about these Mist Crystals.
Some things might be precious at first, bringing great joy when obtained. But once you possess them in abundance, that feeling fades.
Now, his focus was entirely on the Black Orb.
He immediately began examining its properties.
[Teleportation Orb]
Level: ???
Description: ???
Note: This item currently has an owner. You cannot view its attributes.
Luo Feng was stunned. He hadn't expected this—someone had clearly placed this Black Orb here intentionally.
Most importantly, it was a bound item.
Ordinary items didn't have this feature.
Most items people carried could be picked up by anyone if dropped. Once taken, they'd no longer belong to the original owner.
In the five full days Luo Feng had been in this oceanic survival world, he'd only encountered bound items twice.
The first was when the Divine Artifact, the Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda, had bound itself to Tang Xuewei.
The second was the Divine Artifact Poseidon's Trident, though it hadn't bound itself to Luo Feng immediately. Only after he became the Sea King did it acknowledge him as its master.
A bold idea struck Luo Feng.
Based on his experience, could this Black Orb be another Divine Artifact?
Or perhaps a fragment of one?
If it truly was part of a Divine Artifact, many things would make sense.
This would mean that within the Black Mist Zone, there existed a creature possessing a Divine Artifact capable of teleporting these Black Ghouls.
The ability of these Black Ghouls to freely traverse various Color Boundaries might very well stem from this Divine Artifact.
Otherwise, how could the Lecherous Ghost Clan, which originally couldn't cross Color Boundaries, suddenly have Black Ghouls that could?
There must be some hidden secret behind this.
These thoughts raced through Luo Feng's mind.
If his speculation was correct, this Divine Artifact was likely in Black Commander's possession.
Regardless of whether his guess was right, Luo Feng was determined to venture into the Black Mist Zone this time.
At the very least, he needed to secure this Teleportation Orb.
If Luo Feng could use it to teleport humans, it would be an incredibly convenient tool for him.
Although Luo Feng couldn't inspect the Black Orb's properties, this didn't prevent him from storing it in his space ring.
With a wave of his hand, the Black Orb before him vanished, entering Luo Feng's dimensional storage.
Since the Black Orb already had an owner, Luo Feng's Ten Thousand-Fold Reward system couldn't provide any rewards for it.
After storing the Black Orb, Luo Feng wasted no time and immediately began pursuing the fleeing Black Ghouls in the vicinity.
"Acquired Level 5 Black Mist Crystal: +1"
Ten Thousand-Fold Reward
"Acquired Level 5 Black Mist Crystal: +10000"
...
Ten minutes later.
Luo Feng returned to his original position. In that short span of time, he had obtained over a hundred thousand Level 5 Mist Crystals, which left him quite satisfied.
Wu Dalang and the other animals had also gathered around Luo Feng by then.
However, two of the animals—a wolf and a sheep—had chased after the remaining fleeing Black Ghouls.
Having witnessed Luo Feng claim the Black Orb and mercilessly slaughter the surrounding Black Ghouls, the remaining creatures dared not linger and fled in all directions.
Luo Feng, being alone, could only manage to kill a few dozen Level 5 Black Ghouls at random.
He couldn't possibly chase after each one individually.
Once Wu Dalang and the others approached, Luo Feng immediately smiled and said,
"Thank you so much for your help this time.
Without your intervention, our Verdant Grassland might have fallen into grave danger.
We've prepared appropriate compensation for you—we won't let your efforts go unrewarded."
Having interacted with Luo Feng before, Wu Dalang had some understanding of his character. Luo Feng wouldn't have helped them without expecting something in return.
This was only natural.
Had Luo Feng not stepped in, they might have lost the Verdant Grassland before long.
And that would have been the least of their worries.
Kuai Yangyang also spoke up at this moment,
"On behalf of the Sheep Clan, I'd also like to express our gratitude.
Our clan possesses many valuable items, and we hope some of them may prove useful to you.
As for the Inheritance Hall, we've already discussed it—you're welcome to visit and receive the Inheritance whenever you wish.
I'll personally offer you the finest Inheritance for you to attempt."
Hearing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but smile. Naturally, he wouldn't refuse such an offer.
The very reason Luo Feng had ventured into the Green Mist Zone and involved himself in this affair was to obtain the Breathing Technique Inheritance.
If there had been no benefit, merely saving a few animals wouldn't have been worth his time.
Seeing their sincerity, Luo Feng was thoroughly pleased.
With this in mind, Luo Feng smiled and said,
"In that case, there's no time to waste. Let's set off now.
To the Inheritance Hall."
His words took the animals by surprise. Kuai Yangyang quickly replied,
"The Inheritance Hall is quite a distance from here, and the journey is perilous.
We've just been through a battle, and many of our wounded need to be taken back to Sheep Village for treatment.
Why don't you accompany us back to the village first? We can discuss our next steps there."
Wu Dalang heard that Kuai Yangyang had actually invited Luo Feng to Sheep Village, and he wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. He quickly said,
"Let's go to our Wolf Castle instead.
There are many props inside our castle—I wonder if there's anything you'd like?
If you see something you fancy, feel free to take it."
Wu Dalang and Kuai Yangyang were completely at odds with each other.
