Chapter 1026

Boring, too weak.

But we need to keep the quotes? The Chinese line includes 「」 which are quotation marks. Should we keep them? The instruction: translate faithfully, preserve meaning. Usually we would translate the quoted speech as English quotes. We can keep the content without the Chinese quotes, but we need to convey that it's spoken. The line is a quoted statement. We can translate as: "Boring, too weak." We'll keep the quotes? The original includes 「」 which are like quotation marks. In English we can use double quotes. We'll output: "Boring, too weak." But we need to keep the line as a single output line with 【1】 prefix. So: 【1】 "Boring, too weak."

But we need to decide whether to include the quotation marks. The source line includes 「」; we can translate to English quotes. We'll do that.

Xiao Feng wore a disappointed expression.

Da Bai fawned, saying, "Big bro is strong! Big bro is invincible! Big bro, suckle me!"

Xiao Feng casually restored its health to full and picked up the loot bag floating in the air.

The Black Gold Gang General, being an intermediate god, still had plenty of relics.

There were: 1 godhead, 2 divine artifacts, various ore materials, and 1 tier‑2 supreme treasure.

It didn't drop any ordinary divine artifacts—everything was useful.

【Heart of Rock】: Tier‑2 supreme treasure; when actively merged into the body, it boosts defense by 50% while reducing attack and movement speed by 15%.

【Stone Demon Gauntlets】: Divine artifact; requires level 500 or 30,000 strength; adds 240,000 godly energy, ignores 120,000 godly resistance, +20% crit rate, +50% normal attack speed; when using a charging skill, power increases 30%; if the user's strength exceeds 50,000, crit rate increases an additional 20%.

【Solid Rock Heavy Armor】: Divine artifact; requires level 400; +38,000,000 max HP, +250,000 godly resistance, +25% anti‑crit, –10% movement speed; when hit by melee physical damage, damage reduced an extra 30%; activating the defensive stance while immobile reduces damage taken by 30% and reflects 30% of damage taken, cooldown 10 minutes.

Of the three items, only the armor has a strict level requirement; for now nobody can use it.

The weapon's strength requirement is high, but if you really stack it, someone can still meet it—just like Arthur.

The supreme treasure is rather useless; only a pure‑meat fool like the Torch Dragon would use it, and the all‑in‑one shield Dun Dun isn't needed.

"Let's go, keep having fun!"

After gathering the loot, Xiao Feng continued forward, sitting on Da Bai's back, swaying as he flew through the air.

To attract more worthy opponents, he deliberately spread the aura of the virtual realm, making himself seem stronger so he wouldn't run into a bunch of weaklings with no challenge.

After flying for ten minutes, they arrived at another hill in the Chaotic Stone Forest.

Many Demon Rock Clan experts lurked nearby, watching them secretly, but none made the first move.

Because Xiao Feng's aura was strong, nobody with less than god‑level power dared to act rashly!

"Come on, someone, come beat me up~"

"Please satisfy my desire to be beaten~"

"Are you all afraid of my big brother? Don't be—he's actually weak, only mid‑Nascent Soul cultivation~"

Da Bai squawked loudly, hoping to draw in more enemies.

Effort pays off; soon two intermediate gods and a dozen lower gods appeared.

They too were waiting for their companions; once the group was complete and they felt sure of victory, they stepped forward.

The Demon Rock Clan differs from other beings: they need no food, are god‑level life from birth, start high, have no internal competition, and are very united.

When enemies invade the Chaotic Stone Forest, they naturally present a united front!

A mid‑god named Firm Rock Mine Captain shouted at Xiao Feng: 'You puny human, dare to run wild in the Chaotic Stone Forest? Don't you know this is the Black Mountain God King's protected land?'

Another mid‑god called the Silver‑Copper Symbiote also showed a strong aura, coldly saying: 'Hand over your god stone and godhead, and we'll let you go. Otherwise… eternal suppression!'

Xiao Feng asked curiously: 'Really? You actually follow the Black Mountain God King?'

"Of course! The Black Mountain God King is a Demon Rock Clan expert like us; we have good talent and decent strength, and he already promised to bring us into the secret realm for cultivation!" the Silver‑Copper Symbiote declared proudly.

Xiao Feng puzzled: 'Then what are you doing in the Chaotic Stone Forest? Hurry up and go!'

"Whether we go or not is none of your business; the Black Mountain God King is out right now, and without his official decree we certainly can't go on our own. When he returns, he'll surely summon us." Firm Rock Mine Captain snorted, hating to see this arrogant human Xiao Feng.

Hmm…… a riding arrogant mount, an arrogant human!

"The God King isn't home?"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Feng's eyes turned green with hunger.

The God King isn't home!

This is a great opportunity!

If we sneak into the enemy's secret‑realm lair, we can wipe out all the gods in one sweep—what gear could we lack?

Even if the Black Mountain God King uses the secret‑realm lord's teleport function to rush home, there's a reaction delay—enough time for him to do a lot!

Even if we can't finally beat the Black Mountain God King, at worst we die once and respawn via the teleportation array.

With the title Myriad Heavens Overlord, Xiao Feng can revive once on the spot; if he can lure the Black Mountain God King out of the secret realm, he might even turn the tables!

"Thanks, Old Iron, for the good news—I'll take your gear!"

Xiao Feng laughed loudly, then unleashed Secret Art: Palm of Heaven and Earth at the enemy.

"Courting death!"

The two intermediate‑god experts reacted quickly, dodged the strike, and charged at him.

Xiao Feng stowed Da Bai, then activated Instant Shadow Traceless Wing to shift into solid black wings and flew through the air.

Facing the combined attack of two intermediate gods and the harassing strikes of a dozen lower gods, his pressure… was basically nil.

The Sword of Civilization appeared in his left hand, raising his attack power to 880 million.

He then casually unleashed Source Burst and Source Needle Bombardment, dealing heavy damage to the two Demon Rock Clan experts.

Demon Rock Clan life has naturally high defense, but is slightly lacking in speed and agility.

Xiao Feng's weapons and rings have ignore‑defense and damage‑reduction effects, perfect for piercing their tough hide and inflicting massive damage.

In under three minutes, the two intermediate gods were slain by him.

A dozen lower gods fled in all directions; Xiao Feng picked out two over level 630, chased them with Desolate God Step, and killed them instantly.

He collected four loot bags, containing a total of 4 godheads, 7 divine artifacts, 1 supreme treasure, and many materials.

The supreme treasure is still only tier‑2, so it's not very meaningful.

Of the 7 divine artifacts, 2 have attribute requirements, and there's also a pair of Archer's Gloves with a –150 level requirement—usable at level 250, perfect for Mang Mei.

After that haul, the loot was abundant and he felt quite comfortable!

At this moment, less than half an hour had passed since he arrived at the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

Such abundant gains made Xiao Feng's mood very good.

Thinking of the Ink Mountain God King's Mi Jing still having more chief gods to plunder, he was even more full of anticipation!

However, he didn't rush to go there.

One reason is that sneaking into the Mi Jing's interior is relatively difficult; another is that he wants to kill more chief gods in the wild to gather equipment.

Thus Xiao Feng decided to continue hunting chief gods in the Chaotic Stone Forest, spreading news, to startle those high-level chief god experts of the Ink Mountain God King's Mi Jing!

When those experts come out to investigate, he will then kill them one by one, maximizing benefits and minimizing risks!

If the Ink Mountain God King could also be lured out, that would be even better—directly wipe them all out and take over the Mi Jing!

That's worth 100 civilization points; if he can get his hands on it, it will also be hugely beneficial for the faction's total points ranking at year-end!
