In the golden desert, the six Megalodon Wolves had been trekking for a few days.
Under Du Feng's lead, the Megalodon Wolves were only allowed to move for around ten hours a day. The rest of the time, the Megalodon Wolves were allowed to rest.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Du Feng ordered them to stop and rest again.
"There's a sand dune over there. Let's set up camp behind it." Du Feng pointed at a sand dune not far away. He then controlled the Megalodon Wolf to turn around and walk towards the sand dune.
The rest of the young men followed him immediately.
"Brother Du, our speed is too slow. We only walk for ten hours a day and the Megalodon Wolf's speed is maintained at around seventy kilometers per hour. We didn't encounter any danger along the way. If we let the Megalodon Wolf run at full speed, we would have reached the training destination yesterday. " The skinny Ai Peng could not help but complain. He was an impatient person and he always thought that Du Feng was being too vigilant.
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's rest tonight. At this speed, we should be able to reach the destination by noon tomorrow." Du Feng did not bother to explain further.
"At this speed, we've wasted at least two more days …" Ai Peng mumbled again.
"Go back to your tent and rest!"
Seeing that Du Feng did not look too good, Liang Qian immediately pulled Ai Peng aside to stop him from continuing. As the only female member in the team, she had been trying to mediate the relationship between the team members.
"Leader, I've always wanted to ask you a question. Why is our team called Pinnacle? Is it because your name has the word 'Feng' in it? "Liang Qian changed the topic after sending Ai Peng away.
"Of course not. It's because the previous team I joined was called Pinnacle Team. I hope that this name can be passed down … "Du Feng explained with a smile.
"Leader's previous team?" The rest of the team members gathered around when they heard this topic.
"Brother Du, why did your previous team disband? Did there be any conflict between the members? "The short Duan Yang immediately asked.
"Of course not. Our team was very close and we were like real brothers." Du Feng smiled as he said this. Suddenly, his expression turned serious. "The reason why the team disbanded was because I was the only one who survived …"
"What?!"
Everyone looked at Du Feng in shock. They had been in the Pinnacle Team for a few months but it was their first time hearing this from Du Feng.
"Do you remember that I told you about my last trip to the Meteorite Desert?" Du Feng glanced at the five of them.
They immediately nodded.
"The mission was to help a royal kill a Transcendent monster so that he could level to level to a holy fire-level. There were 53 gold-level monsters who participated in the mission. I was the only silver-level because the rest of my team had leveled up to gold-level. I had not chosen my Life Seed monster yet, so I did not level up. So, the role I played in that mission, was just a handyman. I was the Transcendent Pinnacle Transcendent Demon Star Mountain Tribe. Actually, I didn't. I just stood a few kilometers away and watched everything unfold … "
Thousand Dun Star Feng, "Ling King King, they would would, they.
The Feng Clan member, Feng Clan members would King King, Feng of Peak Dong of Feng of the Peak Feng King for Team. Since I couldn't use my relic, I couldn't do any damage to the Transcendent monster. I also understood this, so I accepted his proposal and stood on a sand dune a few kilometers away to watch the battle. "
"I thought it wouldn't be difficult for more than 50 gold-level hunters to kill a commander-level monster with relic. I didn't expect it to be a double mutated Transcendent monster. Not only that, the Transcendent monster wasn't a white flame-level or crimson flame-level as recorded in the information. It was a higher level, blue flame-level …
"When the battle began, the gold-level hunters were killed by the monster's claws even though they were wearing defensive relics. They couldn't fight back at all. That incident was simply a one-sided massacre. "
"The battle ended in less than half a minute. The monster opened its mouth and swallowed almost half of the Gold Hunters. Even those who sensed that something was amiss and wanted to escape didn't make it out alive. All of them became its food …
"Do you know what I did back then? I was like a tortoise hiding in its shell. When I saw what happened, I immediately crawled on the ground and hid my head under the sand dune. I stayed in the same position behind the sand dune for almost three hours before I dared to see if the Transcendent monster had left!
"I'm a f * cking coward!" Du Feng scolded himself after he was done telling the story.
"Brother Du, it's not your fault. It's human instinct to survive …" Before Ai Peng could finish his sentence, Liang Qian slapped his back.
"Leader, you didn't do anything wrong. I think you made the right choice. Only by staying alive can you take revenge for your comrades! "Liang Qian comforted him.
"I think Qianqian is right!" Ai Peng agreed immediately. The rest of them nodded immediately.
"I named the new team Pinnacle because I hope that the Pinnacle Squad's legacy can be passed down. As for revenge, that's my business. When I become a Transcendent, I'll look for the monster and settle the score! "Du Feng did not want the rest of them to get involved in this mess.
"The main reason I brought you to the Meteorite Desert this time is to introduce you to my old buddies. If they can see all of you and know that there's a successor in Pinnacle Squad, they'll be happy. "Du Feng finally felt better.
"So, we're not here to train?" Ai Peng raised an eyebrow and asked.
"You wish! Since we're here, of course, we have to train. It's good to kill some monsters and earn some money. "Du Feng laughed.
After dinner, they rested for the night. The next morning, Du Feng urged everyone to wake up.
After having some food for breakfast, the six of them got on the Megalodon Wolf before 8 am and headed to their destination.
After listening to Du Feng's story, even Ai Peng, who was the most impatient among them, did not complain about their slow speed. Even the team was not as lively as it was a few days ago. After knowing the truth that Du Feng was carrying, none of them were happy.
When it was almost 12 o 'clock in the afternoon, Du Feng saw a withered tree, and his face became excited.
Flipping off the Megalodon Wolf, he dashed out quickly and stood still under the withered tree.
The rest of them urged the Megalodon Wolf to go over. When they were near the withered tree, the five of them got down from their mounts and kept them in their monster taming token.
"Leader, is this where the seniors were buried?" Liang Qian asked.
"Yes, it's under this tree. Unfortunately, their bodies are gone and there's only a cenotaph …" Du Feng nodded.
He then took out a bottle of wine and poured it on the ground in front of the withered tree. "Brothers, Xiao Du is back to see all of you!"
The rest of them remained silent as they watched Du Feng pour the wine and bow to them.
"You guys, introduce yourselves. Consider it as getting to know these seniors," said Du Feng as he waved at them.
"Seniors, my name is Ai Peng. I'm a man with a low EQ and I'm not good with words. We'll become stronger together with our leader. When we return to the Meteorite Desert, we'll kill the transcendent monster and take revenge for all of you! "Ai Peng was the first one to step forward. As he bowed, he uttered these words with great earnestness. It was the first time that he said something that everyone liked along the way.
"Hi, seniors. My name is Liang Qian and I'm the new member of the Peak Team. Brother Du has taken good care of us and we'll try our best to take care of him. Don't worry … "Liang Qian bowed deeply after she finished speaking.
The rest of them introduced themselves one by one and stepped aside after bowing.
Du Feng waved his hand at them after everyone had greeted him. "You guys can walk around here. Don't go too far. I'll talk to my old friends here."
The few of them left after hearing what he said. Liang Qian was the only one who stayed and fixed her eyes on Du Feng.
"My old friends, I'm sorry that I haven't visited all of you in the past two years. I'll bring my friends here more often in the future … The Peak Hunter Team has an heir now and the legacy will be passed down from generation to generation …" Du Feng sat under the withered tree with his legs crossed and mumbled to himself. It was as if he really thought that his deceased friends could hear what he was saying.
"Brother Du, something bad has happened!" Ai Peng shouted as he ran towards him.
"Ai Peng, what are you doing?!" Liang Qian immediately stopped him.
Du Feng frowned and looked at Ai Peng. "What happened? Why are you shouting?"
