Ah, little chicken, so cute.

Dunhuang Ruins.

Qin Feng teleported to the City Ruins, greeted by a scene of yellow sand flying everywhere.

He private messaged Wan Ye Wei Yu and learned the coordinates of the ‘Lonely Molten Giant · Oddity Bro.’ He then mounted Osirio and flew towards that location at full speed.

Nearly twenty minutes later.

On the edge of a desert where yellow sand flew, dozens of official players from Dunhuang Ruins were gathered.

They looked at the burning red flames in the desert ahead, feeling a sense of powerlessness.

“The damage from this flame is too high, and the range is too vast.”

“Yeah, dozens of kilometers around are covered in flames. We can only vaguely see the silhouette of a Fire Giant on the horizon…”

“Shadow said he’s coming to find that Fire Giant?”

“He’s already in Dunhuang, just don’t know when he’ll arrive.”

Everyone sighed and chatted.

A bare-chested young man, smoking a cigarette, said with a laugh, “I think Shadow will also make a wasted trip. This flame damage is too outrageous; it’s not something an Assassin can withstand at all.”

A girl retorted, “That’s not necessarily true. There’s a High-Level Divine Authority Tower in Guanggang that was also said to have very high survival requirements, but Shadow not only passed it but also abducted the NPCs inside~”

Another short young man shook his head, “That’s different. I heard that the challenge for that High-Level Divine Authority Tower involved lightning damage, which could be evaded or resisted with Damage Immunity Shields. But this flame damage ignores shields, ignores damage immunity, and cannot be evaded…”

A burly strong man with a large axe on his back laughed, “Didn’t we calculate it? The base damage of this flame is 156,000. Who can withstand that these days? Even with my 81% elemental resistance, I lose nearly 30,000 HP per second.”

“I’m not bragging, but with my Fire Element resistance, there aren’t many in all of Great Xia who are higher than me! No matter how powerful Shadow is, even if his Fire Element resistance is higher than mine, it wouldn’t be by much, right? How many tens of thousands of HP does he have to burn?”

Listening to everyone chat.

The captain of this Dunhuang official team didn’t speak.

She was a long-braided woman in leather armor, her wheat-colored arm skin particularly striking in the yellow sand, with a beast-skin belt wrapped around her slender waist, giving her a unique wild beauty.

“Xiao Yu, Shana, when Shadow arrives later, get your skills ready.”

The long-braided female captain called out to the two girls, “Give Shadow some Fire Element resistance, and also Spring Breeze.”

“Okay~”

“Mhm.”

The two girls nodded, subtly excited.

That was Shadow, the number one existence globally. They were lucky enough to even meet him, let alone provide him with buffs.

Spring Breeze was a Platinum skill book.

Its basic effect was ordinary, only lasting 60 seconds, allowing the target player to recover HP per second.

But the female player codenamed ‘Shana’ had a Talent that increased the duration of all skill effects, plus some special equipment and skill enhancements, making her ‘Spring Breeze’ last for a full 326 seconds!

And her healing output was also quite high.

During the duration of Spring Breeze, the target recovered 4200 HP per second.

In this top official team of Dunhuang Ruins, Shana’s healing output could reach over 30%.

In terms of healing and support ability, Shana’s standard was definitely not inferior to Gu Yixue.

Not long after, a Bone Sword Wyvern, stark white, appeared on the horizon, flying towards them at an astonishing speed.

It instantly landed not far from this group of players!

This scene made all the top experts of Dunhuang’s official team nervous.

Normally, within the Dunhuang Ruins, their overall strength was among the best, and ordinary players would obediently make way for them. They were also Dunhuang’s First Kill Team for Gold-grade, Platinum, and even Emerald-grade!

Although they had only taken down Dunhuang’s first Emerald-grade BOSS yesterday.

It could still be seen that the team’s overall strength was quite good nationwide.

But now…

Just facing Shadow made all of them incredibly nervous, even more so than when they were raiding the Emerald-grade BOSS yesterday!

Several pretty girls, looking at the figure jumping down from the giant dragon, felt their hearts pound.

“So handsome!”

…

But they didn’t know.

Qin Feng jumped down from Osirio, with a grey-feathered little phoenix perched on his shoulder.

Seeing a group of people waiting from afar, Grey Chicken excitedly chirped, “Your Majesty, are you preparing to choose concubines?”

“Choose your sister, we’re preparing to eat roasted chicken.”

Qin Feng curled his lips and said unceremoniously.

“Don’t worry, your servant has thick skin and won’t be roasted thoroughly! It’s a pity Dragon Bro’s fire resistance isn’t good, so he can’t come in.”

The little phoenix said casually.

These words displeased Osirio, who chuckled, “What can I do? Bro’s level was suppressed, and I was replaced with a mount template. If it were back then, with 99.4% fire resistance, would Bro be burned by this little fire?”

Grey Chicken: “Dragon Bro, past is past, present is present, times have changed!”

Osirio couldn’t stand it: “Human Assassin, hurry up and level up, get Bro a BOSS template to play with, don’t be ungrateful!”

Qin Feng couldn’t stand this guy, so he directly put it into the mount bell.

BOSS template…

Do you really think it’s that easy to get?

Anyway, Qin Feng didn’t know how to get one for it; he hadn’t done this kind of work in nine years in his previous life.

He carried the little phoenix on his shoulder and walked towards the group of players.

“Hello, Shadow.”

Everyone was a little excited to see Shadow.

Grey Chicken stood on Qin Feng’s shoulder, saw the situation, and flapped its wings, “All my beloved ministers are excused from formalities.”

???

Everyone was stunned.

“Ah, little chicken, so cute.”

A tall girl with a veil covering her face saw the little phoenix, and her beautiful eyes lit up.

Grey Chicken put its wings on its hips and puffed out its chest, “HOW DARE YOU! I am a phoenix!”

“Don’t mind it, it’s getting agitated.”

Qin Feng reached out and patted its head, smiled and nodded to everyone, as a greeting, “First, give us our buffs.”

That tall girl with the veil was ‘Shana’.

She gently raised her hand, and a gust of Spring Breeze blew onto Qin Feng, enveloping him.

A continuous recovery state lasting 326 seconds!

“And it.”

Qin Feng pointed at the little phoenix.

The girl Shana was stunned for a moment, “Ah? It’s going in too? Won’t it get roasted?”

Grey Chicken sighed, “Have you ever heard of a phoenix being burned to death? No common sense.”

Qin Feng could only say ‘6’.

This guy shouted that magma baths were hot, and now he’s talking so big?

Soon, the two priestesses finished applying buffs to Qin Feng and the little phoenix.

One was Fire Element resistance, adding 450 points of Fire Element resistance, which was better than nothing for Qin Feng.

The other was the continuous recovery of Spring Breeze.

At least while this healing skill effect lasted, Qin Feng couldn’t be burned to death.

“Let’s go.”

With the buffs applied, Qin Feng immediately rushed into the flames!

Sonic Shoes, activated.

Instantly broke the sound barrier!

“Ah, slower, slower!”

Before Grey Chicken could react, Qin Feng had already disappeared in a flash, and the grey little phoenix, having lost its grip, fell from Qin Feng’s shoulder and rolled several times on the ground.

“Can’t you stand still.”

Qin Feng sighed and quickly ran back.

In a sea of fire, he picked up the little phoenix, and then continued to rush into the flames.

This scene shocked everyone in the Dunhuang team, their eyes wide.

“What the heck!! I just checked, Shadow is only losing less than 5% of his HP per second!”

“What? How is that possible?”

“Even if he has 80% fire resistance, he would still lose 31,200 HP per second!”

“By that calculation, he has five or six hundred thousand HP!”

“Could it be the legendary… basic attack adds health?”

“Use your brain! Just having a lot of HP isn’t enough, after all, he only recovers over 4000 per second. Even with five or six hundred thousand HP, he wouldn’t last half a minute in there!”

“So… how high is Shadow’s Fire Element resistance?!”

“Could the flames have weakened?”

“I’ll try—ah, I’m dead!!”

…

Qin Feng, holding the little phoenix in one hand, ran at supersonic speed through the sea of fire.

In his sight, a towering Molten Giant appeared!

The Molten Giant was thousands of meters tall, its entire body burning with raging flames, turning the surrounding dozens of kilometers of land a fiery red.

Originally, Qin Feng could have come alone.

However…

To stay by the BOSS longer and get a higher discount.

He brought Grey Chicken.

“Currently, with the Spring Breeze effect, my HP recovery is keeping up.”

“When I get to the BOSS and the Spring Breeze effect is about to end, I’ll give the little guy a Yang Wei, so it can heal me.”

Of course, to ensure the little phoenix’s survival, the ‘Abyssal Wither Curse’ also needed to affect Qin Feng himself.

He also needed to attack Grey Chicken to heal Grey Chicken.

This way, he could stay by the Molten Giant for a longer time!

As Qin Feng ran at supersonic speed, the Molten Giant grew closer.

Oddity Bro, covered in flames, was kneeling in the desert, its eyes burning with lonely fire.

“No one will come to accompany Oddity Bro…”

“No one can play with Oddity Bro…”

It sighed, and with one open mouth, a blast of flames erupted, raising the air temperature by several hundred degrees.

Just then, Qin Feng, with the little phoenix, broke the sound barrier and approached, stirring up yellow sand along the way, splitting a line of fire through the raging flames!

“Someone has come to play with Oddity Bro?”

The lonely NPC noticed Qin Feng!

It enthusiastically took out a storage bag, placed it in front of itself, and simultaneously looked on with anticipation.

And when Qin Feng arrived.

Naturally, he first checked the goods this NPC was selling this time.

With just one glance, Qin Feng’s pupils constricted: “Holy crap, I hit the jackpot!”
