Draconis's legs turned to jelly. Gritting his teeth, he walked through the back door of Jade Dragon Village, then turned to Du Feng and said, "Thank you!"
He said this from the bottom of his heart. In that moment of danger, Du Feng didn't run away. Instead, he tried to help him. If the pterosaur hadn't pounced on him, Du Feng would've made his move.
"You're welcome. I didn't help much."
Du Feng giggled and walked away in a leisurely manner. While the others didn't gain much from their training, he spent the afternoon drinking and chatting with Uncle Li and the others. Unexpectedly, he came across such a good thing and made a fortune.
When the pterosaur flew away, the sky suddenly cleared up. The sun shone down, shining on their bodies, making them feel warm and comfortable. Only then did everyone realize that it wasn't even evening yet. But because it was cloudy earlier, it felt like the sky was about to turn dark.
What … what the hell was going on? The students were still in a daze, especially the two teams that had gone out on an adventure. This was because every team had lost a member. The number of students who had broken through to the first level of the Divine Emperor realm had increased, but every student's life was still very precious. One less teammate meant one more danger.
When Yang Wei saw Du Feng's attack, he was so scared that he didn't dare team up with him anymore. The other students, however, had new ideas. Some students who weren't familiar with Du Feng even thought of joining his team after seeing how fierce he was. He heard that Du Feng hadn't formed a team yet. Why not let him be the team leader and let everyone else be his teammate?
With someone as fierce as him as their team leader, they wouldn't have to worry about completing missions in the future.
"Why don't we make him our team leader? That way, we can take care of each other."
"Yeah, I think he's pretty strong. He's much stronger than that Draconis."
Many of the newly promoted students wanted to join Draconis's team, but they didn't get the chance. Now that he saw that Du Feng was stronger than Draconis, he couldn't help but be tempted.
Of course, there were also people who held a different view. For example, a slightly older student wearing a dark blue gown said, "This Du Feng is very strong, but he will be envied by everyone for doing this. I don't think he will last long."
His point of view was reasonable. After all, a person could not survive independently of the world. Du Feng had not teamed up with others for a long time, giving off an unruly feeling. In the history of the Coiling Dragon Realm, many unruly geniuses from the outside world had lost their lives here. They felt that Du Feng was nothing more than a shooting star. No matter how dazzling he was, he would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Hmm, what you said makes sense. Let's think about it."
After listening to his words, everyone also felt that Du Feng was somewhat unreliable. First of all, they might not be willing to accept them as members. Moreover, such arrogant people might just die halfway.
Although Du Feng had walked away, he had actually heard their discussion. Frankly speaking, he did not want to be a team leader at all, and he did not want to accept these useless members. Because bringing along a useless team member would only drag him down. Since he could not train alone in the back mountain, he would bring the Dragon Emperor.
A hundred untrustworthy teammates were not as good as one trustworthy friend. This was Du Feng's principle. When he was in the Lower Realm, he had encountered many situations where he was dragged down by his teammates. There were also those who did not do anything, but still complained about the small share of the benefits. Because they were teammates, he was too embarrassed to fight them. It was really too awkward.
It was better to just cooperate with the Dragon Emperor, and he did not need to worry about the distribution of benefits. If others wanted to snatch it, he did not need to be polite and just beat them up.
That was what Du Feng thought, and what he did. The next morning, when the sky was just beginning to brighten and the others had not left, he went out alone. Seeing that he was going out alone again, the bearded man was very worried.
This Du Feng was a genius, but geniuses were all arrogant and unruly. It was too dangerous to train alone in the back mountain. It was easy to lose one's mind. Although Du Feng said that he would only wander around the periphery and would not go inside, who could guarantee that he would not be curious?
Besides, from yesterday's situation, they would sometimes encounter powerful extraterrestrial demons in the periphery. He was really afraid that something would happen to Du Feng, but he had no right to stop him.
"Did you guys hear that Du Feng went out early in the morning, and he went out alone."
"I heard that too. He is too arrogant and does not take us seriously at all."
"Yeah, yesterday you guys said that you wanted to join his team. Now you know that he does not need you at all."
The students discussed and felt that Du Feng was courting death. According to past experience, as long as one did not form a team in the Newbie Village, he would be alone. No matter how talented he was, no matter how fast he improved in Cultivation, he would eventually get lost in the forest of the back mountain.
And the more talented and unruly a person was, the faster he would get lost.
Before, Du Feng was not the one with the highest Cultivation and the fastest improvement. Even if he went out alone, people did not think much of it. Because in the history of the Coiling Dragon Realm, the ones who got lost in the back mountain were always the ones with the highest Cultivation and the fastest improvement in the same batch of students.
Now, Du Feng was also the one with the highest Cultivation and the fastest improvement. He was also unruly and liked to act alone. Everyone felt that he was not far from death, either today or tomorrow. In any case, he would be demonized in the back mountain.
Once he lost his mind, he would become one of the extraterrestrial demons. It was said that his body would be sucked into the demon fetus and modified again. Then, he would become an excellent warrior and become the enemy of the Dragons. Some people also guessed that the demon fetus contained many geniuses of the Dragons and was planning to rebel one day.
Because the extraterrestrial demons and the demon fetus were all brought here by the True Dragon. The purpose of the Coiling Dragon Realm was to train its descendants. Theoretically, all the members of the Dragons were its descendants.
But the extraterrestrial demons were uncontrollable. They would not be willing to be raised like livestock. Therefore, they had been planning to rush out of the Coiling Dragon Realm. Therefore, the demon fetus everywhere were breeding new lives and creating stronger extraterrestrial demons to resist the rule of this place.
"Just wait and see. I don't think that Du guy will come back today."
"Not necessarily. I think he can come back today, but it will be hard tomorrow."
