135: Awakening Fruit, leaving the team

“Aren’t you curious why this dungeon, despite having no prompt sounds, is called the Awakening Land?” Lei Tian asked with a smile.

“Yes, please tell me,” Li Feng nodded, not hiding his curiosity.

“Among the rewards Instructor Wei gave you, there was an awakening fruit, do you remember?” Lei Tian asked in return.

“I remember,” Li Feng said.

“I’m sure you also know the effect of the awakening fruit. It’s no exaggeration to call it a treasure that harnesses the creation of heaven and earth. If someone who has never awakened their initial Troops consumes it, it can greatly increase the probability of awakening high-tier Troops.”

Lei Tian continued to explain.

Li Feng nodded, not interrupting him.

At the same time, his mind involuntarily thought of his uncle, Li Wuchang.

The latter had offended a scion of an aristocratic family because of an awakening fruit, which led to his expulsion from the Endless Continent.

“In the outside world, awakening fruits are incredibly rare. An area might not produce even one in hundreds or thousands of years. But within this Awakening Land dungeon, the lowest historical output has been in the triple digits, and at its peak, it can even approach five digits.”

“This is also why Instructor Wei said that the Awakening Land concerns the future of our Dragon Country. The more awakening fruits we obtain, the more geniuses our Dragon Country will produce in the next three years. With more geniuses, the number of powerhouses will naturally also increase.”

“Besides that, the Awakening Land also contains the Awakening God Pool. Even if one doesn’t meet the advancement conditions, it can allow us to directly ascend to the sixth tier and awaken a second innate Troops, greatly improving its quality. This is our personal opportunity.”

Lei Tian spoke a lot in one breath.

But Li Feng still had a question in his mind.

“I heard Fang Song say that the Awakening Land also has Mythical-grade resources. How are those obtained?” Li Feng asked, voicing his confusion.

Mythical-grade resources were his initial goal for entering the Awakening Land.

“Heh heh, awakening fruits are useless to us. They are treasures for the little ones who haven’t awakened their Troops yet.”

“To prevent us from slacking off, the higher-ups of Dragon Country will open up the qualification to exchange for items from the Dragon Country’s treasure vault.”

“Naturally, Mythical-grade resources are among them. As long as you obtain enough awakening fruits, Mythical-grade resources are guaranteed.”

Lei Tian chuckled and gave the answer.

Hearing this, Li Feng was slightly stunned, then his gaze became strange.

He finally understood. This Awakening Land slot wasn't just given to him for benefits.

It also targeted his needs, indirectly holding him in their grasp.

However, Li Feng was happy to accept this.

If it really was a dungeon where Mythical-grade resources could be obtained, then he would owe a huge favor.

But now, after hearing Lei Tian, he felt at ease instead.

He preferred this kind of exchange of interests.

At the same time, his eyes sharpened.

To exchange for a sufficient amount of Mythical-grade resources, he had to obtain as many awakening fruits as possible.

If gods block, kill the gods; if buddhas block, kill the buddhas!

“Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave,” Li Feng prepared to go alone.

He wasn't familiar with Lei Tian and the others. In a dungeon involving huge benefits, he felt it was better to split up.

To avoid any disputes over uneven distribution of benefits later on.

As for sticking together for warmth, he felt he didn't need it.

Li Feng’s action made the others look surprised.

Although it wasn't said, they had vaguely considered Li Feng as the leader for this dungeon trip.

Now, this leader suddenly announced his departure, preparing to go solo.

This caught them off guard.

“Li Feng, aren’t you coming with us? The Awakening Land limits the number of Troops, so you might be at a disadvantage if you go alone.”

A handsome young man in a white suit couldn’t help but frown and spoke, trying to persuade Li Feng to stay.

“No need, I’m used to acting alone.” After speaking, Li Feng looked at Fang Song and gently shook his head.

He saw that Fang Song also wanted to leave the group and go with him.

But he only wanted to go alone; his efficiency would be higher by himself.

Then, Li Feng turned and left, waving his hand nonchalantly with his back to everyone.

“Alas, I didn’t expect to lose our most important combat power right after entering the dungeon. I don’t know what to say.”

Watching Li Feng’s departing back, one lord sighed.

“Yeah, before entering the dungeon, I was thinking of clinging to a powerful figure. I recognized all the Troops behind him; they were all above Tier 7. He alone could easily sweep through us.”

“I really don’t know what talent he awakened. It must be related to summoning Troops. To get so many Legendary Troops in such a short time is truly incredible.”

“Alright, stop looking. We should also get moving. Don’t let a group of us acting together get fewer awakening fruits than Li Feng alone. That would be a bit embarrassing.”

“You’re right, let’s go then.”

Seeing Li Feng lead his Troops disappear into the dense primeval forest, the others all withdrew their gazes and then set off.

The Awakening Land was not a conventional dungeon; there was no concept of an ultimate area.

Therefore, neither Li Feng nor Fang Song and the other nine had a clear direction of advancement.

After leaving the group, Li Feng immediately had his Troops spread out.

One hundred thousand Troops were distributed within a hundred-meter radius, centered around him.

Although the size of the Troops was greatly reduced, their numbers were still considerable.

Even when spread out over a hundred-meter radius, the Troop density was already very high, enough to protect Li Feng well.

Not to mention, Li Feng’s shadow also concealed 1,000 Shadow Spiders, pushing his survival ability to the extreme.

“Roar roar roar roar roar roar!”

After advancing for a few minutes, Li Feng encountered the first wave of dungeon monsters.

They were lynxes with snow-white fur, Tier 5 beast monsters, numbering in the tens of thousands!

The rules of the Awakening Land affected not only Troops but also dungeon monsters.

These Ice Breath Lynxes were also only fist-sized, like adorable household pets.

Li Feng’s gaze passed over them, landing on a small tree emitting a faint golden glow.

This small tree was only three meters tall, its trunk adorned with golden patterns, interwoven to create a unique beauty.

On its branches hung fruits emitting a faint golden light.

Li Feng recognized at a glance that this was precisely his goal for this trip—the awakening fruit!

“Good luck, I encountered awakening fruits right away, and there are five of them.”

Li Feng’s face broke into a smile.

Seeing Li Feng not only ignore them but also stare at the awakening fruit tree they were guarding, the Ice Breath Lynxes immediately bristled.

They no longer hesitated and charged madly towards Li Feng.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

In the forest, a sky full of seven-colored arrow rain suddenly appeared, illuminating the gloomy environment brightly.

Your Troops killed an Ice Breath Lynx. Your Troops gained a small amount of experience. You gained 100 Gold Coins!

...

Before long, all tens of thousands of Ice Breath Lynxes lay dead, their bodies quickly disappearing...
