Chapter Twenty-Four: Regaining Spiritual Power, the Four Seas Gang Blockades Greenhill Town

There was nothing he could do. Whenever anyone approached, the crow warrior perched above Yang Feng’s head would let out a warning cry.

But for Yang Feng, he didn’t care for interruptions. Once the cooldown time of the dungeon passed and the monsters respawned, he could enter again to fight and level up.

Around three hours later, Yang Feng’s mental energy had recovered. Darkness had fallen, and at the exit of Greenhill Town, many people had lit bonfires. Some were hunting monsters nearby and roasting their kills over the flames. The aroma of roasting meat wafted through the air, enveloping the entire area.

Those who gathered here were seasoned adventurers, accustomed to hunting monsters in the wild. Their survival skills were honed, and they came well-prepared. Unlike Yang Feng, who, venturing out for the first time, had brought almost nothing with him.

Seeing everyone roasting meat, Yang Feng couldn’t help but think of Gu Panpan. The memory of her mischievous, adorable demeanor brought a faint smile to his lips.

“Hey, brother, care to join us for a meal?”

Just as Yang Feng was preparing to hunt and roast some meat himself, someone called out to him. It was a young man carrying a bow and arrows on his back—clearly an archer.

“No need,” Yang Feng replied, shaking his head and politely declining. He didn’t know the man, so he wasn’t about to accept the invitation lightly.

Seeing Yang Feng refuse, the young man didn’t press the matter further.

“Huang Hu, why bother with him?”

“That guy’s a total weirdo!”

“Exactly! He hasn’t spoken to anyone since he got here!”

“And look at the crow above his head—you can tell he’s a dark-class professional!”

Their dissatisfaction with Huang Hu’s invitation was clear as several voices sounded in succession.

But Huang Hu had his own reasoning. “I think he’s not simple. He doesn’t talk much, but he hasn’t caused trouble for anyone either. I don’t think he’s a bad person.”

With those words, Huang Hu picked up a roasted wolf leg and walked over to Yang Feng.

“Brother, this wolf leg is for you.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng looked up at Huang Hu. Without saying anything further, Huang Hu placed the wolf leg before him and walked away.

Yang Feng gazed at the wolf leg and summoned a detection water sphere. Once he’d confirmed there was nothing amiss, he began eating. He had to admit, the wolf leg was well-roasted and delicious.

Not far off, Huang Hu watched Yang Feng eat, a faint smile appearing on his face. Yang Feng found Huang Hu somewhat reminiscent of Cai Xukun.

After finishing the wolf leg, Yang Feng sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. With the crow warrior on alert, he had no concerns for his safety.

When the dungeon cooldown expired, Yang Feng felt his energy surge anew.

“This time in Greenhill Town, I should be able to reach level fifteen!” Yang Feng stood up and glanced around, discovering the exit was now crowded with people. It seemed a group had blocked the entrance, preventing others from entering.

These men were dressed in black, wielding bronze-grade weapons; they were clearly well-trained. Opposite them stood the original adventurers, numerous but disorganized.

“You people from Four Seas Society are too arrogant!”

“What gives you the right to stop us from entering Greenhill Town?”

“That’s right! Greenhill Town doesn’t belong to Four Seas Society!”

“And our entering Greenhill Town has nothing to do with you!”

Many voices were raised in protest.

At that moment, a warrior holding a battle blade stepped forward. “Our Young Master is completing a mission inside Greenhill Town. Until he finishes, no one is allowed to enter!”

“What? You’re not letting us in?”

“Are you kidding? You Four Seas Society people are too much!”

“Just because your Young Master has a mission, you block everyone else!”

The crowd grew more dissatisfied, but none dared make a move. Four Seas Society’s strength was formidable, and no one wanted to provoke them lightly.

Among the crowd, Huang Hu’s face was full of anger at the situation.

“What’s happening?” Yang Feng approached and asked.

Huang Hu looked at Yang Feng in surprise, not expecting him to speak first. He explained, “The Young Master of Four Seas Society is on a mission in Greenhill Town, so they’ve sealed off the entrance and won’t let us in.”

Yang Feng asked, puzzled, “Why seal off the entrance just because their Young Master is on a mission?”

Huang Hu replied, “This time, the Young Master of Four Seas Society wants the demon core of the Windwolf King. But the demon core isn’t easily obtained—it only drops in the core area, and after each drop, another ten days must pass before it can drop again. Previously, Four Seas Society posted a bounty for the Windwolf King’s demon core at the trading hall, but no one completed the task for a long time. The Windwolf King’s demon core is different from ordinary monster cores. If sold in the trading hall, it’s worth at least five hundred thousand Summer Coins. But Four Seas Society only offered one hundred thousand, so no one sold it to them. Today marks ten days since the last drop, so Four Seas Society is personally going in to kill the Windwolf King.”

Yang Feng suddenly understood. He hadn’t expected the situation to be so coincidental. In his storage pouch, he just happened to have a Windwolf King’s demon core. So this time, Four Seas Society would not be able to acquire it.

Originally, Yang Feng had planned to sell the Windwolf King’s demon core after returning, but now, after hearing Huang Hu’s explanation, he realized its value was extraordinary.

Yang Feng asked curiously, “What’s so special about the Windwolf King’s demon core?”

Huang Hu explained, “The Windwolf King’s demon core can be refined into a second-level pill called Windchase Pill. Once consumed, your speed doubles; professionals above level fifteen can take it.”

Double speed? That was truly remarkable. For adventurers, doubling their speed would be invaluable—whether chasing down enemies or escaping.

“The Young Master of Four Seas Society plans to apply to Qingbei University this year, so he wants the Windwolf King’s demon core. Four Seas Society is a famous guild in East Sea and has plenty of alchemists. They’ve prepared all the other ingredients; only the Windwolf King’s demon core remains.”

Huang Hu continued his explanation.
