Chapter 44 Brothers unite

Xiao Li looked enlightened and said, "Good lad, no wonder you never get drunk no matter how much you drink!"

"Little madman, besides enhancing your recovery ability, what other abilities does this special physique you've awakened have?"

Facing Xiao Ding's somewhat curious gaze, Xiao Feng nodded half-truthfully and said, "Yes! In addition to greatly increasing my recovery ability, I can also transform into a five-zhang-tall stone giant, and my combat power far exceeds that of ordinary third-tier magical beasts."

"really?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's expressions immediately turned serious.

If Xiao Feng could truly transform into a stone giant comparable to a third-tier magical beast, then the Mo Tie Mercenary Group's dominance of Stone Desert City would be just around the corner.

"really!"

Xiao Feng earnestly lied, "Not long ago, when I was training near Qingshan Town, I accidentally discovered a cave left behind by a Dou Wang powerhouse, where I found a lot of treasures and spiritual herbs."

Later, I accidentally revealed my wealth and caught the attention of the mercenaries there. If I hadn't transformed into a stone giant in a fit of rage, I probably would have perished there.

Actually, Xiao Feng's words weren't exactly a lie; he just changed the timing of his discovery of the Dou Wang treasure and his transformation into the Armored Giant.

Xiao Feng revealed his secret of being able to transform into the Armored Titan because he had a new trump card that allowed him to transform into the Colossal Titan.

"..."

Upon learning that Xiao Feng had discovered a treasure left behind by a Dou Wang powerhouse during his training, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were at a loss for words.

"Oh, right! I also obtained a high-level Xuan-rank spear fighting technique in that treasure cave."

Xiao Feng flipped his hand and took out the scroll containing the "Roar of the Mad Lion," handing it to Xiao Li and saying, "Second Brother, aren't you a gun user? I'll give you this fighting technique!"

If Xiao Ding and the others had some doubts about whether Xiao Feng was joking, they no longer had any doubts now that they saw him casually take out a high-level Xuan-rank fighting technique.

"Good lad, I guess I didn't spoil you for nothing!"

After recovering from his shock, Xiao Li didn't stand on ceremony with Xiao Feng and eagerly picked up the scroll to read it.

It's no wonder Xiao Li was so excited. The strongest fighting technique he currently possesses is a low-level Xuan-rank fighting technique called "Thunder Arc Tripartite Dance".

If Xiao Li could learn the Roar of the Mad Lion, his combat power would increase several times over.

“Brother, I found a lot of gold and silver treasures in that treasure cave. I can’t use them all by myself, so I might as well use them to recruit soldiers and horses for you.”

As he spoke, Xiao Feng raised his hand and took out gold and silver treasures worth about 200,000 gold coins from his storage ring. He revealed a cunning smile and said, "Use this money to recruit as many people as possible and expand the size of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. At that time, the people of the Sand Mercenary Group will definitely be restless."

Once they can't resist coming to cause trouble, we'll have a legitimate reason to defeat them and then take the opportunity to unify Stone Desert City.

Looking at the pile of gold and silver treasures in front of him, and Xiao Feng's confident expression, Xiao Ding said with a face full of satisfaction, "Little madman, you've grown up."

"It's okay~"

Xiao Feng waved his hand modestly.

……

Time flows like water, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

With the financial support provided by Xiao Feng, Xiao Ding and his team have recruited quite a few people during this period.

In addition to the hundreds of mercenaries at the Dou Zhe level, there were also two mercenaries at the Dou Shi level.

The number of members in the Desert Iron Mercenary Group has now surged to around three hundred, making it the largest mercenary group in Stone Desert City.

If it weren't for the fact that new and old members need time to gel, Xiao Ding and his team would have really wanted to recruit more people.

Just as the Desert Iron Mercenary Group was developing rapidly, the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group finally couldn't sit still any longer. He summoned the core members of the mercenary group overnight to discuss countermeasures.

"Commander, is there anything else to discuss?"

Mo Xing, who was ugly and had a gloomy face, slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "If you ask me, let's just start fighting!"

"What do you think?"

Rob's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at the other core members.

"Commander, I agree with the deputy commander's suggestion! Those two guys, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, have been recruiting soldiers all this time. Their wolfish ambitions are known to everyone!"

"Commander, the Mo Tie Mercenary Group has recruited so many people now, it will definitely be difficult to stabilize in a short period of time, which is the best time for us to make our move."

"That's right! Captain, if we wait until the Desert Iron Mercenary Group has consolidated its foundation, it will be even more difficult for us to defeat them..."

Seeing that everyone present agreed to attack the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, Rob finally made up his mind. His tiger eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "In that case, you will all come with me to the Mo Tie Mercenary Group tomorrow. As long as we cripple Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, the rest of them are no threat!"

"The commander is wise!"

In fact, with the strength of the Sand Mercenary Group, they would have had the opportunity to unify Stone Desert City long ago, but unfortunately Rob was too indecisive.

Originally, the Mo Tie Mercenary Group only had two Dou Shi in charge, Xiao Ding being a three-star Dou Shi and Xiao Li being a one-star Dou Shi.

With Luo Bu's cultivation level of a two-star Great Dou Master, killing Xiao Ding and Xiao Li would be as easy as turning his hand.

However, Rob was somewhat wary of the Xiao family behind Xiao Ding and his group. In addition, the Mo Tie Mercenary Group and the Storm Mercenary Group had secretly formed an alliance to protect themselves, which made him hesitate to take action.

However, the Mo Tie Mercenary Group's rapid development has created a strong sense of crisis for Rob, forcing him to take action.

At the same time, Xiao Feng, who was cultivating with his eyes closed in his bedroom, suddenly experienced a surge in his fighting spirit, as if he had broken through a certain limit.

"Shh!"

Xiao Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his sword-like eyes, and said with excitement, "Five-star Dou Zhe!"

At this time, although only about a month had passed since Xiao Feng broke through to the four-star Dou Zhe level, with the double blessing of the low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique Xunlong Nine Transformations and the Nourishing Spirit Pill, he still successfully broke through to the five-star Dou Zhe level.

Of course, Xiao Feng's rapid breakthrough was also largely due to his more than half a month of training in the desert.

While taking pills can certainly accelerate cultivation, rapid advancement in cultivation over a short period can easily lead to unstable fighting spirit and an unstable foundation.

Xiao Feng trained in the desert for more than half a month, which not only made his body much stronger, but also made his internal fighting spirit much more solid, so he didn't have to worry about the problem of his fighting spirit being weak.

Xiao Feng first spent more than half an hour completely stabilizing his cultivation before bringing up his attribute panel, which displayed the following attributes:

Name: Xiao Feng

[Cultivation Level: Five-Star Dou Zhe]

[Bloodline: Colossal Titan, Armored Titan]

[Technique: Nine Transformations of the Xun Dragon]

[Combat Techniques: Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Storm Dance, Phantom Step...]

[Merit Points: 1438]

[Number of simulations: 0 (8 minutes remaining)]

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 45 The Fourth Simulation

Under Xiao Feng's watchful gaze, the eight-minute countdown quickly reached zero, and the number of simulation attempts on the attribute panel changed from 0 to 1.

"I'm going to start the simulation!"

"Ding! Randomly selecting a simulated world..."

With a thought from Xiao Feng, the text in the selection box changed wildly, and finally four big characters appeared: "Nine Songs of the Sky"!

"Ding! Please select simulation mode!"

[Text projection simulation (no cost)]

[Simulation of the main body projection (consumes 500 merit points)]

Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, recalling the plot of the anime "Nine Songs of the Sky," and several alluring figures couldn't help but appear in his mind.

Compared to the world of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", the martial arts level in the world of "Nine Songs of the Sky" is significantly higher, so it should be worthwhile to conduct a projection simulation of the original body.

Therefore, Xiao Feng did not hesitate for too long and directly chose [body projection simulation].

"boom!!!"

As the familiar sensation of being struck hard came, Xiao Feng felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, followed by the sensation of being thrown into a toilet, his head spinning wildly.

After Xiao Feng gradually came to his senses and suppressed the nausea, he finally had time to observe his surroundings.

It was nighttime in this world, and it was raining heavily. He was surrounded by a dense forest.

"Dangdangdang..."

Just as Xiao Feng was about to find a place to take shelter from the rain, his ears twitched slightly, and he vaguely heard the sounds of fighting.

anyone?

Wouldn't that be like having a tour guide delivered right to your door?

Xiao Feng, who was unfamiliar with the place, suddenly had a bright idea in his eyes. He suddenly exerted force with his feet and flew towards the direction from which the sound came.

After traversing about a hundred feet through the slippery woods, Xiao Feng finally spotted the figures engaged in fierce combat.

One of the groups was dressed in straw raincoats and bamboo hats, and they were all carrying sharp swords. They didn't look like good people at all.

The target of the attack by the men in black was a stunningly beautiful woman in black, with skin as smooth as jade and a rosy glow.

The woman in black was wearing scale armor similar to fishnet stockings and held a red and white longsword, occasionally unleashing a pink sword aura.

Although the woman in black was stronger than the assassins in black, her protruding belly indicated that she was pregnant and unable to fight at full strength.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have come into contact with the story character 'Jing Ni' and triggered a random projection mission—Save the Giant Salamander!"

Just as Xiao Feng felt that the scene in front of him looked somewhat familiar, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Mission objective: Rescue Jing Ni from the assassins of the Luo Wang organization. Mission reward: One extra chance to draw a prize."

Xiao Feng had always disapproved of this kind of bullying of pregnant women, and even if the random projection mission hadn't been triggered, he would definitely have stepped in to save her.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Xiao Feng suddenly raised his hand and waved it, and several cyan wind blades, each more than half a meter long, appeared out of thin air and swept towards the black-clad assassins.

Jing Ni is a top assassin in the Luo Wang organization, ranking first among the Heavenly-level assassins. Any assassin who dares to hunt her down must be quite powerful.

Faced with Xiao Feng's wind blade attack, the black-clad assassins instinctively tried to dodge, but ended up revealing their weaknesses to Jing Ni.
