"Uh... I really don't..."
Ye Feng scratched his head awkwardly.
"It's like this, the seven major powers on the mainland are the City of Arcane Arts, the Adventurer's Guild, Brad Base, the City of No Sin, Mech City, Desert Storm, and Monks!"
"And the overlord of the sea refers to the Sea Restaurant. Although it's called a restaurant, it's actually a mobile military fortress on the sea. We haven't heard of any stronger force on the sea than the Sea Restaurant yet!"
Han Xianxing didn't ask many questions but quickly talked about what Ye Feng was interested in.
"City of Arcane Arts... Adventurer's Guild... Mech City... etc., Monks? What is that?"
Ye Feng mumbled the names of the powers Han Xianxing had just mentioned, looking at him with confusion.
"It's a rather mysterious force. I don't know much about them, only that their numbers are small, but they can be on par with the leaders of the major powers!"
"Because each of them is outrageously powerful!"
"The Monks are also the only major force among the seven major powers without a fixed base. All other major powers have their own strongholds!"
Han Xianxing frowned slightly and replied.
"Is that so..."
Ye Feng understood somewhat. "Right, before, you were also looking for things like Goblin High Priests. What's going on with that? Are they also one of the major powers?"
"The seven major powers and the sea overlord are what I've confirmed. I can't confirm the Goblin High Priests. They are said to live underground... I've killed many goblins in my youth. Those things are the most disgusting race I've ever seen...
"It's important to note that powerful Goblin Priests can change their appearance and live among us in human form..."
"As for the Dark Holy Cult, it's a mysterious organization composed entirely of madmen. There are rumors that the destruction of Taixing City is related to this organization... For some unknown reason later, the Dark Holy Cult suddenly disappeared... few people even mention its name..."
"But I'm sure the Dark Holy Cult exists!"
As he spoke, Han Xianxing lifted his olive green t-shirt, revealing eight-pack abs on his abdomen, with a diagonal scar.
"This scar was left by someone from the Dark Holy Cult when I was exploring the Red Shore Ruins. The opponent was a subordinate of someone named Coleridge!"
"The first time I learned about the Seed Record was because of that person, a guy covered in fire!"
Han Xianxing pointed at the scar on his stomach and explained.
"Holy cow... things are so complicated... It seems this Seed Record is indeed not that simple!"
Upon hearing Han Xianxing's words, Ye Feng couldn't help but frown.
"Yes!"
Han Xianxing nodded. "Young friend Ye, this Seed Record might not only be related to the mecha's seed. So many major powers are searching for it in secret, there must be a deeper reason!"
"E
"Uh... I heard this too... In the early days of the Great Cataclysm, when many people were looking for the Lamp of Creation, it's said that someone went there... There were also large ships that could fly in the sky, not like jet planes, but boats with oars..."
"I didn't believe it at first, but the person who told me was a monk, and I personally saw large ships soaring in the sky..."
Speaking of this, Han Xianxing also felt it was somewhat unbelievable.
"Hoo~"
Ye Feng let out a sigh. He realized that this world was much vaster and more exciting than he had imagined.
"Why did you choose me back then? How could you be so sure I would be tempted by the Seed Record?"
Immediately, Ye Feng looked at Han Xianxing with some bewilderment.
"Uh... this... it's a feeling. I admit there was a gamble involved..."
When it came to this, Han Xianxing actually scratched his head quite honestly.
"Uh, okay~"
...
After that, the two chatted for a while longer, and Han Xianxing left.
After all, there were many things to deal with at Tyrannosaurus Rex Base, especially cleaning up the remnants of Xu Kuang's forces.
...
Around noon,
In the villa,
"What? Sister Han, the riverbank of the Red Shore Ruins, hundreds of meters wide, was split open with a single sword strike?"
Xiao Xiao, holding a chicken drumstick, looked at Han Qiuli opposite her, her pretty face full of surprise.
"Mmm!"
Han Qiuli nodded. "I was also incredibly surprised when I heard this news from my father back then!"
"Ye Feng, you don't seem particularly surprised by this?"
Immediately, Han Qiuli looked at Ye Feng with confusion.
This was because she noticed that Ye Feng, after the initial surprise, was not overly shocked.
"Uh... well... I've seen a group of people fighting, and they directly collapsed a mountain peak..."
"The cliff canyon in the Red Shore Ruins was carved out by a single sword strike. It's actually acceptable..."
What Ye Feng was referring to was the scene of Yue Feixue, Zhao Gongzi, Su Jianyin, and others fighting at the Dune Ancient Battlefield.
"Oh, right~"
Upon Ye Feng's mention, Xiao Xiao also recalled.
Some people remember things that are too shocking, while others tend to forget. Xiao Xiao seemed to belong to the latter?
"Uh..."
Han Qiuli was speechless.
"Is Mr. Ye Feng here?"
At this moment, a booming male voice came from outside the villa.
Ye Feng walked to the door and looked towards the sound, only to see a sturdy middle-aged man, Li Yidao.
The man was sweating profusely, carrying large bags and packages in his hands, looking travel-worn.
"Mr. Ye, you're here, just right..."
Upon seeing Ye Feng, Li Yidao quickly stepped forward and started speaking to Ye Feng.
A few minutes later, Ye Feng finally understood why Li Yidao had rushed to find him.
It turned out that because Ye Feng had killed many zombies in the Red Shore Ruins, he had almost cleared out the zombies in a certain area.
That area had a Level 4 zombie before, so very few exploration teams dared to venture there. Li Yidao's exploration team, following Ye Feng, had acquired a lot of important supplies, including several repairable military heavy trucks, an infantry fighting vehicle, a howitzer, and they had opened several treasure chests...
Therefore, after transporting the supplies back, Li Yidao specifically came to find Ye Feng, asking him to pick out some supplies to take away.
However, Ye Feng did not take those military heavy trucks and the like. Instead, he chose a map of Mech City, as the next large human survivor base on his route was Mech City...
"Have you eaten? Do you want to join us?"
Ye Feng looked at the somewhat yellowed map in his hand and asked Li Yidao.
"No, no, I'll just be a third wheel for you and young lady!"
Li Yidao glanced at Han Qiuli inside the house and then chuckled and left.
"I..."
Ye Feng was speechless.
After lunch,
After Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Han Qiuli had a short nap and chatted for a while, Han Qiuli said she had some matters to attend to and left.
Xiao Xiao continued to wander around the mountaintop, occasionally sketching a few strokes on paper with her brush.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng began to study the Seed Record he had dismantled from the mecha...
"Buzz buzz buzz~!"
Ye Feng had only been studying for a short while when a buzzing sound came from the sky. Looking up, he saw a not-unfamiliar large mosquito, Wen Jie Jie.
