Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Chapter 276: The Protection of the Blue Thunder

Although Chu Ci was also a defense-type spirit qi professional, she had a reckless heart. Shi Xu’s feys were all thunder-element feys, but he had taken the path that a traditional defense-type spirit qi professional should take.

A defense-type spirit qi professional like Shi Xu was far more popular than a reckless defense-type spirit qi professional like Chu Ci in a team.

Shi Xu stood in place, his peach blossom eyes narrowed under his small flat-top head, and said, “See that? This is strength! Be good and hand over the thing burning with red flames that you put away, and I’ll let you go.”

Lin Yuan’s eyes behind the mask also narrowed as he replied, “What if I don’t?”

Shi Xu reached out and scratched his head.

“Judging from the way you dress, you’re imitating Black, right? Those who idolize Black should not be a bad person, so I can have mercy on you.”

Lin Yuan’s eyebrows behind the mask raised, and he answered, “It seems to you that I have to hand it over.”

Lin Yuan channeled the spiritual power in his body into the land under his feet through both feet. The quicksand on the land beneath his feet that had stopped instantly churned again. It was no longer just limited to a couple of kilometers around the mountain valley.

Rather, Lin Yuan let the Source Sand stir up the sand grains it had accumulated for a month. The sand grains brought all the adventurers, who wanted to trudge over the sea of sand, back its edge.

At the same time, with Lin Yuan’s spiritual power, the color of the sand grains in this one-kilometer radius became darker and darker, changing from brownish-yellow slowly to purplish black.

These purple-black sand grains also carried a layer of black-blue metallic luster that came from the ferromanganese.

Lin Yuan manipulated the Source Sand, and it gathered all the sand grains that it had ground from hard ores in the controlled Class 3 abyss dimensional rift. These hard sand grains were plated with a thin layer of ferromanganese.

When Shi Xu saw this quicksand suddenly churning, he jumped onto the Platinum IV/Fantasy I Silent Thunder Armored Crocodile’s back.

Upon sensing the quicksand from all directions that wanted to drag his fey into the ground, Shi Xu let the Silent Thunder Armored Crocodile surge a large amount of thunder elements around its body to resist the churning quicksand.

Lin Yuan found that even if the Gold I/Fantasy I Source Sand had accumulated sand grains for over a month and could resist against Platinum feys, it still could not do anything about this Silent Thunder Armored Crocodile.

This was because the Silent Thunder Armored Crocodile had gone beyond a Platinum fey’s strength and reached Diamond combat power.

Shi Xu, who was standing on the Silent Thunder Armored Crocodile’s back, said with some surprise, “So it was you who caused the churning quicksand everywhere in the mountain valley! You’re currently already much stronger than Black.”

Before Shi Xu could finish his words, he saw Lin Yuan wave his hand and summon a fey with a purple halo like a peony while fluttering. He immediately expressed his surprise on his face because this fey was the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly.

Once Lin Yuan summoned this Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, Shi Xu immediately felt awkward. This silver-masked fellow was actually Black.

Upon looking at the endless churning quicksand in front of him, Shi Xu knew that Black had concealed his strength on Star Web.

Black’s true strength was far from what he had shown on Star Web.

His feys were very easy to recognize—the Silver/Fantasy Breed avian fey, the strange plant that could spread a sea of flowers, and the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly could represent Black’s identity. These feys were unique to Black among the currently known feys.

After Lin Yuan summoned the Bronze X/Legend Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, he immediately let it release a large amount of Silence Scale Powder toward the sand grains that Source Sand had spawned.

Given the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly’s Bronze grade, the Silence Scale Powder it released could not break through the Platinum IV/Fantasy I Silent Thunder Armored Crocodile’s layer of thunder-element energy that protected its body.

Therefore, Lin Yuan could regard the sand grains spawned by the Source Sand as the carrier for the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly’s Silence Scale Powder.

It would allow the Silence Scale Powder that was difficult to attach to the Silent Thunder Armored Crocodile to have the opportunity to do so.

If it were other power offense-type spirit qi professionals with Platinum Fantasy Breed feys, Lin Yuan would not have any chances of winning without the Mother of Bloodbath or the trump card that the Moon Empress had given him.

However, Shi Xu was a defense-type spirit qi professional who went on the path of a traditional defense-type spirit qi professional, so he did not possess any powerful attacking ability.

Thus, Lin Yuan had a chance to fight.

Just at that moment, Shi Xu waved his hand and said, “No more fighting. I, Shi Xu, will not make a move against one of my own.”

As Radiance Hundred Sequence #6, Shi Xu was considered being a top high-ranking member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

The Radiance Hundred Sequence upheld the glory of the Radiance Federation’s younger generation’s top experts. Black’s battle outside Millstone Town was enough for him to be called a Radiance Federation hero. Thus, Shi Xu would never attack Black because of a treasure.

He might not mind telling other adventurers that the treasure belonged to a capable person. However, the faith in radiance had always let Shi Xu made the choice toward radiance.

In fact, it was also the faith and choice of the Radiance Hundred’s younger generation that the Radiance Federation had constantly been becoming stronger and stronger, allowing it to become the top power in this huge world map.

Unity itself shone with radiant light.

At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly realized the space around him darkened and saw a middle-aged man who was very strange.

This middle-aged man was looking at him angrily, as though he had just finished his homework, but it was torn into pieces.

Lin Yuan, who was wearing Genius’ mask, could vaguely sense that this middle-aged man was shaking with anger. As he looked at that middle-aged man, he immediately became wary.

Even though Lin Yuan had no impression of that middle-aged man’s appearance, his figure completely overlapped with the middle-aged man who had been sizing him up at the controlled Class 3 abyss dimensional rift’s entrance.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan felt a violent energy fluctuation. It was now too late for him to condense the four wings on his back. He only had time to condense half a wing in front of his body with the feathers transformed by the Gold Day and Night Spirit Silver and injected the spiritual power into this half wing.

The sudden appearance of the violent energy fluctuation made him feel a deadly threat. Just when he was ready to crush the red crystal spider in his hand, which the Mother of Bloodbath had given him, a layer of blue thunder armor shielded him.
