#596 - Chapter 594: Humility
“Old Song is too unlucky; he tested a weapon and ended up in bed.”
After Tan Zuoyin timely opened the Infinite City's window to catch Song Jiang, Yan Cheng mercilessly mocked him.
“What were you doing down there? I almost kicked the bucket up here.”
Qi Jing flew down at this moment, looking at his team in confusion.
He was just drying his umbrella in the sky when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and he quickly hid behind the umbrella to avoid being blown away.
Then, just as he was about to stick his head out, he was almost beheaded by an extremely dangerous slash.
Fortunately, the umbrella sword was hard enough, otherwise he would have cosplayed Louis XVI.
“Is it these two chicken feet?”
Qi Jing pointed to the two silver claws in Yan Cheng's hand.
Yan Cheng nodded:
“That's right, Old Qi, these two claws are incredibly strong. One can fan out a level 800 gale, and the other can release a wind blade even more powerful than your Yuan Qi Slash. They're practically divine artifacts!”
“It's just a bit of a drain on source power,” Miao Kui added.
“It's not even a drain. How much source power do we have? Being able to release such a powerful attack with one bar of blue is already super cost-effective.”
Yan Cheng, holding a bird claw in each hand, really liked these two things. He nudged Qi Jing with his elbow:
“Brother Qi, give me one of these, please. I don't want anything else, just this wind-fanning claw. I don't want the slashing claw.”
Well, well.
When you need me, you call me 'Brother,' but when you don't need me, you just call me 'someone.'
You've really mastered the art of social maneuvering.
Qi Jing shook his head with a playful expression:
“I'll talk about it after I find my treasure.”
“Don't be like that, Brother Qi. I feel like the treasure you're looking for will definitely not be as strong as these two claws.”
“What does it matter to you whether the treasure I find is strong or not?”
Seeing the slightly raised corner of Qi Jing's mouth, Yan Cheng started his reasoning (lying) time again:
“Hey, you don't understand. We've already made this trip worthwhile by getting these two claws. Your treasure is a bit dispensable.
Moreover, we killed that Elder of the Void Spirit Bird clan. If we go further, they will definitely launch a crazy attack on us, which is very dangerous.
We almost suffered casualties from our planned ambush. If they ambush us in return, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?
We might really die. We can't go any further.”
Looking at Yan Cheng's solemn expression and extremely exaggerated acting, Qi Jing raised his eyebrows:
“I feel like you're cursing us. Even if we don't go, why should I give you this bird claw?”
“Because I made this suggestion, preventing our personnel losses. I have merit, so it's normal to give it to me.”
You never cease to amaze me, Old Yan.
To even think of this kind of reason, you're really something.
But as the greatest captain, I can't just give it to you because of these few words.
Qi Jing looked at the people around him and asked:
“Does anyone want these two bird claws?”
Zhu Qing'an shook her head:
“I don't need them.”
These two bird claws are strong, but the difference between them and her is only source power.
As long as the total amount of source power increases, she doesn't need these non-growing weapons at all.
“Xiao Ci and I don't need them either.”
Han Yinuo, rubbing Yin Ci's head, also indicated that they would not take these two bird claws.
One plays with ice, and the other already knows how to slash. Taking them wouldn't create a linkage effect with their abilities, so they're not very useful.
Seeing that the three senior sisters didn't want them, Qi Jing turned his attention to the remaining teammates of the same grade.
Tan Zuoyin and Shen Jianxin shook their heads at the same time.
One because she had too many props, and the other because she had almost no contribution and wasn't very familiar with them, so she was shy.
Wow, are you all being so modest?
We really recruited the right people for our team.
Qi Jing turned his attention to Miao Kui, the last one.
But he also refused:
“The entire Qitian will be mine in the future. These two chicken feet are useless to me.”
Miao Kui, who had already reserved the position of pilot, set his sights on the future.
As long as the research institute successfully transforms the Kirov airship, then as the pilot, the entire Qitian with its heaven-defying functions will be his. Does he still need two small chicken feet?
Suffer now, enjoy later!
Endure these six months, and he will be the strongest!
Yan Cheng saw Miao Kui's appearance of preparing to hold back for the late game and happily said to Qi Jing:
“Isn't that the end of it? Both are mine! Ku ha ha ha ha!”
Qi Jing reminded him:
“There's also Old Song.”
“He's not here, so he automatically forfeits the election.”
“Screw you, one is enough. You want both? Leave one for Old Song.”
Song Jiang is still good; he can get a divine artifact while lying in bed.
Yan Cheng, slightly regretful, handed Qi Jing a bird claw:
“Okay, I want this wind-fanning one. When wind and fire combine, I'll directly perform a large-scale fire tornado for the enemy!
By the way, you can draw a lottery for these two first. If you draw something good, we'll each have one. How wonderful.”
“No rush, no rush. This thing can't run away anyway. We'll take our time.”
Qi Jing also really wanted to immediately draw a lottery for these two bird claws, but he knew that he would touch the Walking Dragon soon, so how could he put his precious luck on it?
That's [Origin]!
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't touch the Time Whale King, he would have touched it to draw a lottery long ago.
This time in the Walking Dragon plan, he must draw an unprecedented big guy to avenge his many days of endurance!
“Go! After finding the treasure, go directly east!”
The Walking Dragon is in the east.
His bait has also been placed in the space. When the time comes, he only needs to tell Xiao Fifteen, and he can take over the relay baton of this plan from Yu Ding and crush the entire Giant Beast Mountain Range.
But before that, he must find the treasure containing the power of life and death.
“Let's just sit on the White Dog Cloud and travel through the highest sky. I don't believe there are Void Spirit Birds in such a high place.”
“Let's go! I'll see you off on the ground!”
Yan Cheng weighed the chicken claw and made the others sit on the White Dog Cloud first.
After determining the direction, he stood on the ground and fanned the White Dog Cloud hard. A strong gust of wind suddenly blew, giving them a huge speed boost.
Finally, he walked into the door of the Infinite City, directly passed through the window, and also came to the White Dog Cloud, achieving the feat of "I blow myself."
“Crush the clouds!”
“Ee?”

“Demon Clan Chief, the Great Elder and the Second Elder are both dead! You must avenge us~”
Just now, Hei Dayu, who was born with a loss of smell, had been maintaining a virtualized state, not daring to move. After Qi Jing and the others left, he dared to run away and came to the Demon Shadow Leopard's territory.
He didn't trust the Fourth Elder, who wanted to usurp the throne, and couldn't invite the Third Elder, who was in the hatching ground, so he had to ask for help from the Demon Shadow Leopard Clan Chief—Mo Yi.
Mo Yi stroked his whiskers, looking calm and composed, and asked:
“How did they die?”
“Li li li......”
After an explanation, Mo Yi understood the ins and outs of the matter and pretended to be angry, saying:
“They were killed by humans? How can I tolerate this? I must go and avenge them!”
Mo Yi rolled his eyes:
“But I'm not very good at finding people. I need to ask for the help of your Third Elder. Hei Dayu, time is tight, take me to your hatching ground. Don't let those humans run away.”
“Hei Dayu is very grateful! Demon Clan Chief, this way!”
