Chapter 69: Hibiscus Seed
“Chen Feng, what happened just now?”
Pu Yunmo asked curiously.
From his point of view, Chen Feng and the Yatengu had suddenly disappeared from where they were standing. After ten seconds, Chen Feng appeared in the same spot all alone.
“Nothing.” Chen Feng shook his head.
He did not say anything else. He kept thinking about the Godly Tree that the Yatengu had mentioned just now.
Find the Godly Tree first… but what is the Godly Tree?
Just as Chen Feng was deep in thought, another voice rang out in his ear and interrupted his thoughts.
The mechanical voice was from the game system.
“Congratulations to the player for killing Level 35 World Boss [Yatengu]. Reward: Side Storyline [Planting the Godly Tree].”
“Congratulations, host, you have obtained a side story item—[Hibiscus Seed].”
A small sapling instantly appeared in Chen Feng’s backpack.
This small sapling shone with a golden light. It was less than a meter tall, and each of its leaves looked like they were made of gold. It was exceptionally exquisite.
“The Godly Tree!”
Chen Feng’s eyes widened in shock.
If he had not heard wrongly, the system seemed to have mentioned the side storyline that he had unlocked. It was called “Planting the Godly Tree”!
Was the Godly Tree that the system mentioned the same as the Gody Tree mentioned by the Yatengu?
This quest was called [Planting the Godly Tree]. It seemed like the special item [Hibiscus Seed] was the legendary seed of the Godly Tree.
But… where should he plant it?
What would happen after he planted the tree?
Just thinking about it made Chen Feng’s heart beat faster. However, there were too many people present. He could not take out the [Hibiscus Seed] right now.
Therefore, Chen Feng could only bury his doubts in his heart and slowly study the seed later on.
…
Just as he put away the [Hibiscus Seed], a muscular man walked over from the side.
“Blake?”
Chen Feng was stunned when he saw Blake.
He had seen the Yatengu stabbing Blake in his heart with the divine weapon right before his very own eyes. Even if Blake had turned into a black bear, it was almost impossible for him to survive such a fatal wound.
Chen Feng looked Blake up and down and was shocked to discover that there were no wounds on his body.
“Are you… really alright?”
Chen Feng asked in disbelief.
Although he had ten more years of gaming experience than everyone else, he still found this scene unbelievable.
“I’m fine.”
Blake shook his head. He was still as quiet as he was before.
“But that slash just now…” Chen Feng looked slightly confused.
Just then, Pu Yunmo came over with a grin and said, “The one who got stabbed was the black bear. What does it have to do with Blake?”
Chen Feng looked at both of them with a questioning gaze.
Did Blake not transform into the black bear?
Could things even work that way?
In the end, Blake answered Chen Feng’s question honestly.
“I have an SSS-Rank talent called [Space-time Split]. I can return to a time point in the past regardless of where I am or my current condition.”
“After my heart got stabbed, I activated my talent and travelled back to the time before I was injured.
Chen Feng was even more shocked after hearing Blake’s explanation.
Blake, who seemed invisible along the way, actually had an SSS-level talent. It was a talent related to time!
This was the first time Chen Feng had seen someone else with a SSS-Rank talent other than himself.
It was no wonder Blake was able to join their operation team this time around. With an SSS-rank talent, Blake would definitely be the one of the partners of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets that they intended to groom to perfection.
“That’s amazing!”
Chen Feng could not help but give Blake a thumbs up.
This talent was just like a glitch in the system. After awakening, it would be hard for him to die.
However, Chen Feng understood that the more terrifying one’s talent was, the more restrictions there were.
For example, there might be a long cooldown period, a slow release rate, or some random side effects.
There would never be an unrivaled talent in this world. Even a SSS-Rank talent had to be used at the right time to unleash a stronger effect.
…
Just as Chen Feng and the others planned to continue moving forward.
“Great God Chen Feng!”
A girl’s voice rang out from behind, which caused Chen Feng to stop in his tracks.
Chen Feng’s attention was attracted because she spoke Chinese.
Chen Feng turned his head around and realized that a girl that around eighteen to nineteen years old was standing behind him. She had a pretty face and was about 1.7 meters tall. Her figure was well-proportioned and she was wearing a black dress. There was a slight flush across her face as she greeted him shyly.
“Hello, just call me Chen Feng.” Chen Feng smiled and nodded.
He did not wish for weird titles to follow his name. After all, it was better to keep a low profile.
“Chen Feng… thank you!”
As the girl spoke, she faced Chen Feng and bowed down.
“If you’re referring to how I killed the Yatengu, there’s no need to thank me for that.” Chen Feng shook his head. “I’m not trying to help you guys. I just want to get the mission reward. There’s no need for you to thank me.”
“No.” The girl shook her head stubbornly.
“You killed the rat monster and saved my life at the Yangtze River Bridge in Shanghai!”
The girl’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Feng.
“Were you there in…Shanghai Yangtze River Bridge?”
“Yes!”
The girl nodded heavily. She looked extremely cute and obedient.
Chen Feng did not expect both of them to be so fated.
However, it made sense when he thought about it. He had just released such a powerful Holy Light Spell, and the other people from the four great guilds had already obtained detailed information about him.
It was not surprising for someone to recognize him right now.
However, Chen Feng did not interact much with this girl. After all, he was yet to figure out which guild she came from. He did not know her intentions either.
There were plenty of conflicts and disputes among the four great guilds.
After a few polite exchanges, Chen Feng bade them farewell.
After Chen Feng left with his team members, the girl remained standing where she was. Her bright eyes She stared at Chen Feng’s back with her bright eyes. She seemed to be deep in thought.
“Oh right, Great God Chen Feng, my name is Zi Yue!”
Just as Chen Feng was about to leave, the girl yelled out loudly.
She did not care if Chen Feng heard her or not. In a flash, she hid in the nearby forest.
