C722 Magic Crystal
The desert and the ocean are called the Devil's Sound Desert and the Holy Sound Sea, and the Devil's Sound Desert is a land of no return. There is no sun, not to mention water, and there are often terrifying monsters roaming around. However, this place was rich in the main energy Devil Crystal Stone of this planet, so a few empires often risked their lives to come out and collect it. Most people would take an airship to travel.
The Demonic Crystal Sea was even more mysterious. Legend had it that the guardian of this planet, Emperor Yin, lived in the Demonic Crystal Sea. Therefore, all countries were forbidden from going out to sea because they were afraid of blaspheming the great Sacred Spirit. They couldn't even fly over the surface of the sea, but no one had ever seen a true Emperor before.
Old Man Gu had worked hard on the ship for many years, so he was very familiar with the other places on this planet. The planet was divided into seven countries, and each country had a different race. The strongest of the seven countries was the Loulan Empire, but each country wanted to unify the continent. That was why wars broke out over the years.
Ye Feng followed Old Man Gu and used the mechanical net to scoop up half a day's worth of crystals. He only managed to scoop up two fist-sized Devil Crystal Stone. The quality was still very poor.
Old Man Gu shook his head and said, "Sigh, there are so few sacred stones today. Now, earning money is getting harder and harder."
Ye Feng nodded and asked, "Are we going to get as much as we can?"
Old Man Gu nodded and said, "Of course. A few people in a group. We set a time limit for how long we can make money. We will give you a portion based on the total amount. Sacred stones are very valuable in every country. Because it is a necessary energy item. Otherwise, who would take such a huge risk to get it? "
It turned out that this was the same concept as doing business and getting commission. Ye Feng saw that there was no one around. He made a grabbing motion with one hand, and a huge suction force surged upwards. Crystals the size of human heads kept popping up from the bottom of the sand like bubbles. Suddenly... The earthen yellow light illuminated the surroundings, and at this moment, over a hundred Devil Crystal Stone appeared. Among them, there was no lack of high-grade ___. In fact, Ye Feng had already used his Divine Sense to sense that there was a large and rich Devil Crystal Stone mine right below the ship, but the depth of the net was not deep enough. He could not dig out those good Sacred Stones at all.
Old Man Gu's eyes almost popped out. He had been fishing for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen so many Devil Crystal Stone, and there were also many high-grade and middle-grade ones.
Ye Feng quickly took a few of the best quality ones and stuffed them into Old Man Gu's arms. He consciously blinked at Old Man Gu. Old Man Gu was a kind and honest man. He guiltily pushed away the idea. This... This won't do. You will be punished if you are discovered. And you will forever lose the qualification to work."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "There are only the two of us here. As long as I don't say who knows, you can take it. Don't forget your grandson."
Old Man Gu hesitated for a while and continued, "There is no way to take it out. It will be searched out. We will have specialized detection tools when we go in and out."
Ye Feng thought for a while and took out an empty storage ring. He put the good Devil Crystal Stone in it and handed it to Old Man Gu. "Put them all in here. I guarantee that no one will find them."
Old Man Gu saw Ye Feng putting the Devil Crystal Stone into the ring like a magic trick and felt a little unbelievable. Although they were from the Western Continent, they were not cultivator. They had no idea that there was such a thing as storage ring in this world. He looked at the ring for a long time, but still couldn't find anything. Suddenly, someone's footsteps could be heard. Old Man Gu guiltily put the ring into his pocket.
The one who came in was the ferocious leader. When he saw a pile of Devil Crystal Stone, his eyes were wide open, and he threw himself onto the Profound Yin Stone. He said loudly, "Crystals... There are so many crystals! Quickly report to the young master that we have found a lot of Devil Crystal Stone! This time we are rich, haha..."
When the servants behind saw so many Devil Crystal Stone, they were also stunned. After returning to Saint, they immediately excitedly ran up to report the good news. The leader quietly stuffed two of them into his pocket. He said seriously, "What did you see?"
Old Man Gu was about to speak when Ye Feng pulled him and said seriously, "We didn't see anything. We didn't see anything."
The leader opened his mouth and patted Ye Feng on the shoulder. He laughed and said, "Young man, you have a bright future. Haha! When young master comes, he will say that I am the commander. Do you understand?"
Ye Feng reached the leader's ear and said, "Don't worry. Boss, we know what to do."
The leader appreciated Ye Feng a little more. A young man in gorgeous clothes walked down. Next to him was a middle-aged man with a long beard. He looked very smart and knew that he belonged to the government.
The young man in gorgeous clothes looked very handsome. He had golden hair. His delicate facial features were elegant and elegant. He was wearing a golden and white soft armor. A milky white cloak fluttered in the wind behind the flexible armor. There was also a two-foot long golden sword hanging from his waist. It was obvious that she came from a noble family.
The young man only glanced at the Devil Crystal Stone and scolded with a smile, "Zhang Cai, don't tell me you got all of this."
The leader, Zhang Cai, stammered, "Young Master Hsu Lingshan is really wise. Zhang Cai can't hide anything from Young Master. This..."
At this moment, Ye Feng immediately stood up and said, "This was dug up by Old Man Gu and me, but... it was the result of Zhang Cai leading the team. Zhang Cai contributed a lot."
Zhang Cai smiled and secretly gave Ye Feng a look of appreciation. Hsu Lingshan stared at Ye Feng for a long time and asked, "Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"
Ye Feng said slowly, "I am just a little worker who collects Devil Crystal Stone. How could I attract everyone's attention? It is normal that young master has not seen me before."
Although Ye Feng had reached the Saint realm and his soul realm had reached the Saint King realm, even if he was a Great Emperor Level warrior, if Ye Feng hadn't started fighting, ordinary people wouldn't be able to detect his Qi. However, there was no way to hide the saint tone and bearing of his words. Hsu Lingshan sized up Ye Feng once more. What's your name?" he asked. Where is the Loulan Empire?"
Ye Feng's eyes moved. He glanced at Old Man Gu and said with a smile, "My name is Gu Feng. I am from the same hometown as Old Man Gu. Since my family died in war and had nowhere to go, I followed Old Man Gu out to work."
Old Man Gu was very grateful for Ye Feng's help. In his heart, he liked this smart young man very much. He was worried that ___ would offend his young master because of his words, so he quickly agreed. "Yes, yes, yes, young master. He came from the same hometown as me. I only found him recently."
Seeing that Ye Feng had an extraordinary bearing, young master Hsu Lingshan spoke in a calm and forceful manner. He was definitely not an ordinary person. After thinking for a while, he said consciously, "Gu Feng? Hmm, a good name. I don't think you are suitable for this job. Are you willing to work for me? "
Ye Feng actually quite admired this young master's demeanor in his heart. From the moment he walked in, he did not care about the Devil Crystal Stone. He was casual and modest towards his servants. He did not put on any airs at all. He was destined to be a wise master in the future.
Ye Feng just wanted to see how the mortals here lived, and he did not want to stay here for long. He immediately replied, "I am only in the mountains, and I don't understand anything. I won't do anything. I just want to be an honest worker. Please forgive me, young master."
The middle-aged man beside Hsu Lingshan scolded loudly, "How dare you! Do you know who you are talking to? This is the next heir of the Profound Blue Empire, young master Hsu Lingshan. He is very likely to be the future emperor. You don't even accept his request? "
The middle-aged man's scolding caused Old Man Gu's body to tremble. Hsu Lingshan shook his head. He sighed and said, "What a pity, what a pity... How about this, I will give you a token. If you think it through one day, you can come and find me at any time. I welcome you at any time. "After saying that, he handed Ye Feng a golden token in a fan-shaped shape. In the middle, there was a strange word.
Hsu Lingshan sighed and left the bottom of the ship. Old Man Gu quickly pulled Ye Feng over. He said loudly, "Young man, is your brain damaged? Young master Hsu Lingshan is the son of the king who is most appreciated in the Loulan Empire. In the future, he will most likely be the king. If you follow him, you will most likely become an official above ten thousand people in the future. Do you understand? "
Ye Feng smiled but did not say anything. He hugged Old Man Gu and was about to go to the side to chat when suddenly, a loud sound rang out and the boat started to shake.
Old Man Gu was shocked and panicked. He grabbed Ye Feng and asked, "What happened?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Nothing. I think there are a few enemies."
After that, Ye Feng and Old Man Gu climbed onto the deck.
At that moment, there were shouts and shouts on the deck. The sound of metal colliding with weapons mixed together. It was a chaotic scene. Hsu Lingshan stood on the bow of the ship, his cloak fluttering in the wind. He looked very calm and said excitedly, "Soldiers, get ready to fight. Open the defensive shield. Finally, something exciting has happened!"
A few black ships appeared in the distance. Old Man Gu had been running in the desert for many years, and he was very knowledgeable. He immediately shouted, "Pirates!"
Ye Feng had sensed a few ships a long time ago. He asked curiously, "Pirates? Hehe, I didn't expect there to be pirates in this barren land. "
Old Man Gu replied, "Many of these pirates have the support of the empire. They specialize in robbing and destroying other countries to collect Devil Crystal Stone."
Old Man Gu remembered what Ye Feng had said at the beginning. He asked suspiciously, "Gu Feng, how did you know there were enemies outside when you were under the deck?"
Ye Feng scratched his head and pretended to be stupid. "I guessed it. I didn't expect it to be true. Haha!"
Old Man Gu was more and more curious about this handsome young man, but it was not good to ask at a time like this.
A moment later, a blue light shield lit up outside the boat. The black ship in the distance sent out balls of earthen yellow light the size of cannonballs, smashing onto the light shield, causing the ship to shake. Hsu Lingshan showed no signs of panic. He shouted, "Concentrate all the cannons on one target. Prepare the magicite cannons!"
The four cannons on the ship adjusted their direction at the same time. The four yellow balls of light smashed toward the ship in the opposite direction. A wave of cursing came from the distance.
"Boss, it looks like it's fun!" The Azure Dragon and Ye Feng whispered to each other. Its head popped out, and its two big eyes looked very excited.
"Hey, boss, let's build a ship like this to fight others in the future!" The Blood Lizard waved its claws and said.
"Hehe, it looks really fun!" The Blood Lizard also said with a look of yearning.
"Tch, it's too weak. I can crush those ships with my tail!" The Blood Lizard said with disdain.
This was the first time Ye Feng had seen such a battle method. He felt that it was very interesting. It was similar to fighting on the sea.
However, the enemy had three high-level ships, and the artillery fire was much more concentrated. A continuous stream of light balls and cannonballs flew over from afar, and the ship was shaking more and more violently.
Hsu Lingshan shouted loudly, "Are the magic crystal cannons ready?" Nuka ran over and said, "They are ready long ago, young master."
Hsu Lingshan immediately said, "Fire at the target in the lead." A black thing suddenly rose from the top of the ship. It was a long spear shaft. There was a shining ball of light on the spearhead, constantly gathering energy. When Hsu Lingshan shouted to fire, a yellow beam of light shot out from the ball of light and hit the defensive light shield of the enemy ship.
"Bang!"
The power of the magic crystal cannon was indeed extraordinary. The enemy's defensive barrier did not even last for a breath before it collapsed. The ship's hull was smashed into pieces by the beam of light. Although it did not sink, it had already lost its ability to fight.
The ship where Ye Feng and the rest were on cheered. Hsu Lingshan let out a breath and said, "Fortunately, this ship is equipped with the magic crystal cannon. However, the magic crystal cannon consumes too much energy, so it should be used less."
The middle-aged butler said, "Young Master, you don't have to worry about this. The Devil Crystal Stone that the old and young man collected just now is enough for the empire to use for a year. Dealing with these bandits is nothing."
Hsu Lingshan glanced at Ye Feng again and sighed slightly. Without saying anything, Ye Feng also knew that Hsu Lingshan was paying attention to him. He pretended to be stupid and chatted leisurely with Old Man Gu.
Hsu Lingshan looked at the pirate ship in the distance and ordered, "Since we have sufficient energy, we don't need to care about them. These pirates usually do evil things. Destroy them all."
Because of the powerful energy, the enemy's cannons could not hurt Hsu Lingshan's ship at all. Instead, the enemy's ships were destroyed by the magic crystal cannons one by one.
