Chapter 1380: Chapter 1379: Cooperation
“Does anyone know the whereabouts of your companion?” The Golden Winged Angel looked at all the captives from the Divine Realm and asked, “Given the current situation, I think everyone is quite clear that the Void Devouring Insects are densely packed. Our collaboration is the only chance for survival, and I need to know where the other person is now!”
The Divine Realm captives shook their heads. Although Hao Lian Wushuang had met Ling Feng once, she also did not know his whereabouts.
Seeing everyone remain silent, a hint of disappointment flashed in the Golden Winged Angel’s eyes.
“Captain, should we use the previous method?” an angel whispered, “This area is not that large. We can use sound waves to convey a meeting message to Ling Feng. I think as long as Ling Feng is in this area, he will definitely hear it. If he’s smart, he’ll show up!”
The Golden Winged Angel thought for a moment and then nodded, “Your method is a bit silly, but it doesn’t hurt to try. Let’s give it a go!”
…
Apart from Ling Feng and Ji Jian, there was another presence in this area, nearly in tears out of despair—Situ!
Following instructions, Situ had secretly infiltrated this battlefield, always trying to find traces of Ling Feng, but he had yet to succeed and had several close calls with the Angel World’s people.
Finally waiting until now, they found themselves surrounded by the Void Devouring Insects!
Having mingled on the Divine Cloud Continent, Situ naturally knew the power of the Void Devouring Insects. Though he had seen them before, never had he seen so many; there must be tens of thousands—densely packed!
“It’s over, it’s really over now!” Situ stared bitterly at the Void Devouring Insects in the sky. Although there was still a protective barrier holding, the insects could even tear through space, let alone these barriers!
If the barrier shattered, this would indeed be the end! A surge of resentment rose in Situ’s heart—towards Ling Feng, and towards the mysterious elder within him!
Even though the mysterious elder had taught Situ many things, Situ was quite clear that he was just a dog raised by this mysterious elder. If he had exceptional talents, perhaps the old geezer would have used soul transfer on him by now!
“Hmph, nothing more than a loser beaten into a stray dog, yet always bossing me around! Just wait until I’m powerful, I’ll make sure to deal with you properly!” Situ thought to himself bitterly, then spat on the ground, feeling a sense of relief.
At this moment, the voice of an angel suddenly came from the sky, “Friends from the Divine Realm, please come out to meet. It’s a matter of life and death for us all now. We should put aside the battle and cooperate for a chance at survival!”
This shouting lasted for a full quarter of an hour before gradually fading. Situ’s eyes rolled thoughtfully. Since they were looking for a way out, could he perhaps hitch a ride? After all, with his Late Divine Realm cultivation, his capabilities might be needed!
As for whether to reveal himself, Situ could no longer care. With death looming, how could he worry about exposure?
With this thought, Situ stealthily moved toward the direction of the voice.
In another direction, Ji Jian frowned and, after glancing at the Void Devouring Insects, bit his lip and moved toward the same direction. He didn’t want to collaborate with the angels, but without cooperation, the only path was death! Although he believed that collaboration didn’t offer much hope of survival, he went forth with that slim one-in-a-million chance.
Ling Feng naturally heard the cry as well. After some thought, he emerged from his Sky Spirit Stone and moved toward the direction of the voice.
He wasn’t worried about the threat of the Void Devouring Insects. With the Sky Spirit Stone, he was more than capable of protecting himself!
Rather, he was more concerned with how to use these angels to reach the Angel World, for Ling Feng was short on time.
Ji Jian was the first to appear. A cold intent flashed in the angels’ eyes; though they intended to cooperate, seeing Ji Jian reminded them of their slain companion, who was ambushed to death by him, and the frustration of being unable to deal with him five-on-one earlier.
The Golden Winged Angel Captain cupped his hands and said to Ji Jian, “Brother Ji Jian, it’s great that you can put aside past grievances and cooperate!”
Ji Jian spoke indifferently, “I’m only doing this for self-preservation, so don’t bother thanking me. We’re merely taking what we need from each other. If we get past this hurdle, we’re still opponents!”
The Golden Winged Angel nodded, “Naturally, this is just a special treatment for a special time. Once the crisis is over, we’ll battle to the death then!”
Ji Jian nodded slightly, then looked at his captive compatriots with a touch of disdain, and sat aside with his staff, saying nothing to his partners.
“What a loathsome look!” Xiao Huohuo muttered, watching the arrogant Ji Jian, “If I hadn’t been ambushed, they wouldn’t dare show off in front of me…”
“Enough, say no more!” Hao Lian Wushuang snorted coldly, “Being captured is a disgrace, just accept it! How many ifs are there in this world? If you truly want revenge, wait until this crisis is over; we’ll certainly have another battle then!”
“Can we really get through this crisis?” another Divine Realm prisoner murmured with a tinge of despair, “Those are Void Devouring Insects. It’s said only experts of the Azure Sky Realm can kill them. How could we possibly…”
“Shut up! If you don’t want to live, you can continue!” Hao Lian Wushuang said decisively, “So what if they’re Void Devouring Insects? If you don’t even have the courage to fight, you might as well commit suicide now!”
The person lowered his head sheepishly.
Rumbling sounds came from afar at this time, and Ling Feng’s figure appeared before the crowd.
“Oh wow, everyone’s here!” Ling Feng said with a cheerful grin, “Looks like everyone’s in good spirits.”
The Golden Winged Angel frowned. This guy only has an Early Divine Realm cultivation; could he be the Ling Feng we’ve been searching for?
“Are you Ling Feng?” The Golden Winged Angel couldn’t help but ask.
Ling Feng nodded, “Yes, I am Ling Feng. Why, is someone impersonating me?”
“With just Early Divine Realm cultivation, how could you evade our searches so many times?” The Golden Winged Angel asked incredulously.
Ling Feng smiled faintly, “That’s my unique skill. Do you think I would tell you?”
The Golden Winged Angel felt tempted, wanting to test Ling Feng’s strength, but worried about breaking the cooperation.
“Hoo!” The Golden Winged Angel suppressed the urge and said, “Given the current situation, I think everyone understands. Let’s work together, brainstorm and find that sliver of hope!”
