Hundreds of people were gathered in the cave ruins that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
More than ten were from the Blue Star, while the rest were all escaped villagers from Rock Village.
Most of the ten or so Awakened from the Blue Star were Tier 5, but the villagers were all ordinary people. They were immensely grateful for the help of the Awakened, which allowed them to successfully escape. Else wise, all kinds of ferocious beasts that appeared on the road would have eaten them alive.
The deeper they went into the mountains, the stronger the beasts were. Fatigue gradually consumed the group and they began to get injured. In the end, they decided to take refuge in this dilapidated village.
It could be seen that these ruins were originally a village, but for some reason, it was abandoned.
Originally, they had already given up all hope for the situation in front of them. At night, they would definitely die here. However, everyone’s hope was instantly ignited when they saw Ling Feng. This was a desire to live.
“Ling Feng! It’s all thanks to you obtaining the Soul Suppressing Stele. Otherwise, we would’ve been besieged from all sides.”
“It’s really too timely. You’re really a lifesaver!”
“As long as you’re here, we won’t be afraid.”
“As long as we can return home alive, I will definitely make my family buy your blood pills and let them feel this kindness.”
The more he was praised, the more ridiculous it became. Ling Feng could only smile helplessly. He wanted to say that it was no big deal.
“If you want our protection, that’s not a problem. You just have to pay us,” Ling Yun said.
After he said that, the scene became very quiet. Everyone looked at each other without saying a word.
Ling Yun’s expression changed. Were these guys so petty that they wouldn’t even buy his safety with money? Were they really poor, or were they just reluctant?
At this moment, someone said, “I don’t think our money is enough to pay your protection fee.”
Ling Yun finally understood.
“I don’t need much. I’m saying this to save you from owing me a favor. If you don’t have enough money now, you can owe me first.
“However, since all of you can enter the mystic realm, it means that you’re not ordinary people. Your family background should be solid.
“We won’t take advantage of the situation. Just pay one million star coins per person.
“If you don’t have enough, you can write a lease bill or use something as collateral.”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. One million star coins were not much. It was very worthwhile to spend money to buy peace. Moreover, this money was used to pay the protection fee, which meant that, in the future, they would not be owing Ling Feng a favor. It was considered a transaction. No matter how they thought about it, it was very cost-effective, so everyone obediently paid up.
At this time, Ling Feng called over the clone carrying the Soul Suppressing Stele. The clone placed the stele on the ground. It landed with a heavy thud, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
When everyone saw the stone tablet, their hearts calmed down. After all, there shouldn’t be any danger to their lives tonight. Everyone looked at Ling Feng with admiration and gratitude.
However, they looked at Ling Yun with a complicated expression. They didn’t dare to say anything when he glared at them. They could only look away, afraid he would change his mind and take the stone tablet away.
Ling Feng looked elegant and refined, but Ling Yun seemed extremely selfish. The two brothers were like heaven and earth in terms of personality. Everyone was complaining in their hearts.
Ling Feng looked around and found several dilapidated houses not far away. The stone bricks on the walls had also fallen off, and the beams had all rolled to the ground. He shook his head lightly and had no choice but to rest here. He would go to another village tomorrow morning.
At this moment, there was a loud noise. Everyone looked up and saw a flash of lightning, followed by deafening thunder.
‘Lightning? Could it be a thunderstorm?”
“I was just thinking we could survive tonight safely, but I didn’t expect the heavens to make things difficult for us!” “I won’t worship the heavens anymore!”
Rumble!
A thunderclap descended and struck a mountain peak in the distance. Then, white smoke rose up. It was probably about to catch fire, but suddenly, a strange-looking ferocious beast spat out a mouthful of ice and extinguished the embers.
Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone was shocked.
‘Could the heavens be angry?
‘We still have to pray. Otherwise, the heavens will really be angry.”
‘Speaking of which, that fierce beast is indeed powerful. It can actually extinguish the heavenly fire.”
Seeing that the sky was about to rain heavily, everyone was busy looking for a place to shelter from the rain, but they did not dare to go too far. They could only look at Ling Feng. Only by being with him could they survive the night.
Ling Feng frowned.
Bai Xiaosa said, “If there is wood attribute energy, then everything will be fine.”
“What do you want this for?” Ling Feng asked curiously.
‘Didn’t your teacher teach you? Wood attribute energy could change the structure of trees. By injecting wood attribute energy into some wood, it could be used as glue to immediately build a wooden house.’
After hearing this, Ling Feng thought to himself that of course he could transform six types of energy. It was just that Eldest Senior Brother was a little lazy. He had only attended one class before, and it was all about alchemy and array formations. He had not carefully studied the application of energy attributes.
However, after listening to Bai Xiaosa, he instantly understood that if the wood attribute could change the structure, the other attributes would be the same.
As Ling Feng thought about it, the attribute in his body immediately changed to the earth attribute. He squatted on the ground with his palm pressed against the ground, thinking about the appearance of the house in the sea.
‘Change!”
He roared at the top of his voice, and the earth attribute energy in his body surged into the ground. Sounds kept coming from underground, and then the earth wall gradually emerged.
It was exactly what he had imagined. A few walls rose from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it had become three rooms and two halls.
Everyone was instantly stunned. Whether it was the natives or the humans, they were all very shocked.
“1 think he just entered school. He actually learned energy conversion so quickly.”
“1 graduated a few years ago and learned a skill. Even so, I can’t reach Ling Feng’s current level.”
“1 know how to convert the earth attribute, but I certainly can’t dig out three rooms and two halls. I’ll never be able to do that!”
‘This must be a delicate job. Having it instantly turn into a house… Ling Feng’s spirit power must be very powerful.”
Because of his mighty soul power, he could control the details of his energy.
When the natives saw Ling Feng’s series of actions, it was as if they had seen a god descending to the mortal world. They were all stunned on the spot, thinking that Ling Feng must be some god.
Ling Feng glanced at the roofless house, unsatisfied..
