Chapter 1824 - 1823: Waters, Crows!

"What’s wrong?"

Ding Lan asked.

"How much spirit stone do we have left now?" Qin Feng asked.

"After the equipment and amulet we got before, we have about seventy million left!" Ding Lan said, "Although spending four million to buy the mark seemed a bit expensive, it feels worth it."

"No need, buy all magic artifacts." Qin Feng said.

"Huh?? Why??" Ding Lan and Shuang’er were quite confused, "Magic artifacts are different from food and drinks, they’re expensive! Besides, we have to consider the future too!"

"No need to consider the future." Qin Feng said, "I don’t have any more spirit stone on me, but Lin has some. I’ve asked her to search for Nami’s trail in the capital outside, and we can get spirit stone from her when we go out."

When entering the Main City Illusion, Qin Feng wasn’t a hundred percent sure if Nami was trapped inside, so they split into two groups: he and Jiu Jie, Ding Lan, and the others came in, while Lin stayed in the capital searching for clues. The spirit stone on her was still unused, and it certainly wouldn’t be little.

"But buying all magic artifacts... still seems like a loss." Ding Lan said.

"It’s not a loss."

Qin Feng shook his head, carefully analyzing for them, "Haven’t you noticed? The effect of your divine-level divine weapon here is not even as good as Jiu Jie’s wooden fish or scriptures, so this time we only buy things for assistance, nothing else, and leave some for marking the next place."

"...Alright!"

Although not very in agreement with Qin Feng’s opinion, after all, the money was his.

"We need to buy more shoes. This time we can’t just buy Gale Shoes; we need ones that enable swimming in water. As the master sister mentioned, the next road is by water." Ding Lan said as she looked at the items on the old grandma’s scroll, "These Water Cloud Shoes! They allow swimming and walking steadily on water! Uh, the price is a bit steep, eighty thousand per pair."

"Buy them!" Qin Feng said.

"How about this magic artifact? It can summon meteors! Price, one million!"

"This one is powerful, can release Nine Heavens Thunder! Price, two million!"

"This poison is also deadly, it can disrupt the enemy’s mind, making them attack their own! Price, one hundred seventy thousand!"

"..."

After a short while.

Only ten million spirit stones remained from the seventy million, saved just in case.

The rest were all spent on auxiliary magic artifacts.

This time, they didn’t even buy a divine-level divine weapon because there were too many limitations here, and they could only use their own magic skills, relying solely on the power of a divine-level divine weapon, which was not as effective as a magic artifact.

After a brief rest and consuming some elixir to restore energy, the four left the house.

Then, in the backyard of the house, there was a small path. The four followed the path, and shortly, they walked out of the forest.

In front of them was either a lake or an ocean, in any case, a vast expanse of water!

Scattered across the water were numerous islands, densely packed, one or two every kilometer, and not very large, with the tallest being only about a hundred meters.

"Which direction should we go now?"

Qin Feng asked.

Just then, an old grandma suddenly came over with a cane and said to them, "Dear heroes, could you do this old grandma a favor?"

"Eh??"

Qin Feng wondered, wasn’t this illusion meant for purchasing things?

Ding Lan and Shuang’er spoke, "Grandma, what do you need?"

The old grandma took out a jade pendant, "My son is on the southwest side of the lake, and I miss him very much. Could you take this jade pendant to him for me? I beseech you, dear heroes."

"This..."

Ding Lan, Shuang’er, and Jiu Jie hesitated.

They knew this was an illusion and that the old grandma was not real, so not helping with this wouldn’t affect anything. On the contrary, they needed to find the next step as the master sister only mentioned water after the forest but didn’t specify a direction.

Just as they were about to refuse, Qin Feng suddenly spoke up, "Don’t worry, we’ll deliver it to your son."

"Thank you, heroes!"

The old grandma said gratefully.

After she left, Ding Lan, Shuang’er, and others said, "She’s just an illusionary figure, not real. Will agreeing to her delay our next step?"

Qin Feng smiled, looking at the jade pendant, "This is our next step! Let’s go! To the southwest!"

"How can you be sure?"

Ding Lan and the others were still confused, but Qin Feng was already stepping on the water, so they had no choice but to follow.

Qin Feng felt a bit embarrassed; such a simple plot, yet they couldn’t understand it. This was exactly like the games played in childhood, with the old grandma similar to an NPC who issues tasks. In the early stages, you just have to follow the tasks, no need to overthink things.

Unfortunately, people like Ding Lan, who grew up in the Hidden World, didn’t know these things.

Soon.

Ding Lan was moving fast in the water, suddenly seeing a large group of crows gathering!

These crows, like the bats from the forest before, had red eyes!

Whoosh!!

Suddenly a crow flapped its wings vigorously, and a sharp black feather shot at Qin Feng like an arrow!

Qin Feng quickly swung his sword to slice the black feather!

"Oh?"

He couldn’t help but be surprised.

The power of this black feather exceeded his expectations, needing seventy percent of his power to cut it.

At this time.

Other crows also started flapping their wings fiercely!

Each black feather shot out like long arrows, extremely dense.

The four wielded weapons to fend off for a moment, but they were too dense. Ding Lan and Shuang’er’s arms and shoulders got lightly injured.

"Use magic artifacts."

Qin Feng said to them.

No choice.

No way to save now.

Ding Lan took out a bead and threw it forcefully into the sky, forming a hand movement, she shouted, "Thunderstorm Pearl!!"

Crack——!!

The bead exploded abruptly in the sky, unleashing nine strands of heavenly thunder, intertwining and scorching a large swarm of crows to death.

"Indeed, magic artifacts are more effective!"

Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim, then speed up towards the southwest.

However.

Although they eliminated a batch, another batch of crows gathered again quickly!

Ding Lan continued using the "Thunderstorm Pearl."

But they only bought four of the "Thunderstorm Pearl."

Soon.

After using all four, they still couldn’t see the end of the water body.

And the crows in the sky continued to gather relentlessly.

"We have no choice; let’s advance underwater!"

Ding Lan suggested.

The four didn’t stay above the water, diving quickly to swim ahead.

This tactic worked.

The black feathers shot by the crows lost power in the water and couldn’t harm them.

But!!
