High in the sky.
A girl of exquisite beauty was fleeing in panic.
She suddenly spotted a person and a bird on an island.
That bird...
Was enormous!
It was clear at a glance that it was a mutated bird of prey.
And such a large mutated bird of prey, subdued by a human, what did that signify?
She sped towards Nan Zi Island.
Descending in altitude.
"Save me... Please..." she pleaded from afar.
Qin Feng glanced at her.
The girl had fair skin, like an East Asian.
Her pursuers on the large bird were clearly Southeast Asian, with dark skin.
However.
The girl was not speaking the Da Xia language.
Even if she spoke Da Xia, what was it to him?
"Scram," Qin Feng said coldly.
Splash!
The girl landed right in front of him.
Without hesitation, she knelt: "Please save me, they killed my family and want to take me..."
Qin Feng paid her no mind.
The apocalypse had arrived.
Whose family hadn't suffered losses?
He couldn't empathize with that many people.
On the other side.
The large bird was about to land as well.
"Hand over the person, or we'll kill you!"
"No need for nonsense, just kill him!"
"She can't escape, take her back... Heh heh..."
The people on the bird's back laughed wildly.
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.
Originally.
He had no intention of intervening; the girl's fate was none of his concern.
But he hadn't expected them to provoke him directly.
He couldn't understand what they were saying.
But he could guess from their tone and expressions.
They wanted to kill him?
Then...
"Sir, are you from Da Xia? I am too..."
Seeing the group approaching, the girl trembled in fear.
She switched to speaking Da Xia!
"What will I get for saving you?" Qin Feng stared at the girl.
"I... I can do anything for you!" The girl's eyes were filled with hatred.
These people had killed her family.
She wanted revenge!
"Remember your words."
"Kill him!"
Several figures leaped from the bird's back.
Their abilities were ready to be unleashed.
Spatial displacement!
Qin Feng suddenly vanished into thin air.
When his figure reappeared, he was already in the midst of them.
Spatial blade!
Shwiiing!
Driven by a hundredfold force, the spatial blade moved at a speed far exceeding sound.
The blade cut through the air,
emitting a piercing sonic boom.
"Kill me?" Qin Feng said coldly, retracting his blade.
Thump...
The five superhumans didn't even have time to use their abilities.
Their heads separated from their bodies.
The mutated white stork they had subdued was also decapitated.
White storks were not formidable birds of prey.
Their combat power was average.
Subduing them was much easier.
Seeing this, the girl was stunned.
He had...
Killed them all in one blow?!
Her lips trembled.
So powerful!
When she saw the Osprey, she had guessed Qin Feng was strong.
But even so, seeing him in action, she realized she had underestimated him.
"Sir, thank you..."
She came to her senses, tears streaming down her face, and murmured, "They killed my family and wanted to take me by force..."
"Take off your clothes." Qin Feng interrupted directly.
Those people.
Since they had harbored murderous intent towards him, he would never let them go.
But he had also saved this girl.
She should pay her fee.
Besides.
She had promised earlier that she could do anything for him.
Which naturally included satisfying his needs.
"You..." The girl looked at him in disbelief.
"You promised."
"..."
The girl wanted to say something but ultimately held back.
Yes!
She had promised to do anything for him.
Which naturally included...
If she had been captured by those people, she would have faced not one man, but a group!
In comparison.
The current outcome was quite good.
"Can you wait a moment? I..."
"Young lady, this is the apocalypse!"
Qin Feng stared at her coldly: "Are you expecting me to slowly get to know you, to fall in love?!"
The girl froze.
Then, she resigned herself.
She knew very well that not only could he displace through space, but he also had a bird of prey faster than a white stork. She had no chance of escaping.
"Oyster Fritter, stay back," Qin Feng commanded.
"Caw caw..."
The Osprey didn't understand.
Qin Feng, too lazy to explain, simply kicked it away and pointed towards a patch of forest.
Finally.
It understood.
It waddled obediently into the woods.
Qin Feng retrieved a Simmons mattress from his dimensional space.
The girl, tears flowing, her slender fingers trembling, slowly unbuttoned her clothes.
And lay down.
...
An hour or two later, Qin Feng dressed and stood up.
The girl quickly put on her clothes.
Due to her slightly hurried movements, the tearing pain made her wince.
She endured it.
Without a sound.
"You can go now."
Qin Feng glanced at her: "If you feel unwell, you can rest for a while before leaving."
She staggered to her feet and looked at the conspicuous crimson stain on the mattress.
To survive.
To fulfill her promise.
She had thus...
Lost her most precious possession!
She had thought he might say something gentle, but he was utterly heartless.
"I... This is my first time." Her voice was very soft.
"And so?"
Qin Feng's expression turned cold: "You don't expect me to take responsibility, do you?"
She seemed to have misunderstood.
This was a transaction!
"I just... wanted you to remember my name." For the girl, this was something important.
"Not interested."
Qin Feng turned and walked away.
"My name is An Ling." Enduring the pain, she took to the air.
Just as Qin Feng had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
An Ling...
Flight...
Was it her?!
In the apocalypse.
Adventurers from Blue Star were few, less than twenty thousand in total.
In contrast, the native inhabitants of the Apocalypse Star, despite several calamities, had seen their population greatly reduced.
However.
Most of those who had survived were superhumans.
With so many superhumans on this planet,
the number of powerful individuals was bound to far exceed that of adventurers.
Including Qin Feng's Divine Punishment team, which was also primarily composed of natives from the Apocalypse Star.
The Apocalypse Star was vast.
In his previous life.
Qin Feng had heard of many powerful individuals at different stages.
If not a thousand, then eight hundred.
These many powerful individuals, scattered across the globe in different locations, he had only met a small portion.
An Ling.
One of the top powerhouses in Southeast Asia.
Flight was merely her first ability.
Its value was limited.
However, her second awakened ability was immeasurably valuable!
"Wait a moment!" Qin Feng turned and shouted.
An Ling was already tens of meters in the air.
She had heard his call.
But she didn't stop.
There was no affection to begin with, and he had been so indifferent. She just wanted to leave quickly, with no further connection to him.
"Oyster Fritter!" Qin Feng shouted urgently.
"Caw..."
The Osprey immediately flew over.
He had told it to leave earlier, and now he was calling it back.
What was going on?
Despite his inner annoyance, to avoid another beating, it obediently flew over.
On the other side.
An Ling had already flown hundreds of meters away.
She felt a deep unease and just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Not paying attention to her surroundings.
The Osprey took off, with Qin Feng standing on its back.
Looking down from a height.
His pupils instantly constricted.
Indeed!
Directly below An Ling, in the sea, a massive dark shadow was stirring.
The seawater was azure blue.
The dark shadow, seen through the dark water, appeared a bluish-black.
It was clearly abnormal at a glance!
That size...
Was enormous!
Larger than a giant squid!
