Chapter 644: Extermination of Cinder Pine

Z looked the same as before . After all, it had only been a few months ago when they last met .

Although Z had promised Hu San, the mysterious guardian, to relocate his organization away from the North Sea, the former had no obligation or whatsoever to abide by it .

Would a powerful S-tier elect really restrain himself or herself from visiting a place just because of some empty promise?

That was practically impossible . Z made a promise not because he was willing to compromise . Simply speaking, he cared little about it since nobody could really stop him from doing as he pleased .

At the same time, Qin Feng thought of something .

‘Perhaps, the mysterious man who was here in my last life was also Z?’

At that time, a mysterious elect had occurred out of nowhere and disappeared quickly after taking down the Cinder Pine .

Z seemed to be the most probable candidate now .

Qin Feng furrowed his eyebrows after thinking it through . ‘Doesn’t it mean I owe Z a favor now?’

The North Sea was currently under Qin Feng’s watch . Getting help from an outsider somehow tinged Qin Feng’s nerve .

Z’s sight had now turned onto the Cinder Pine . His eyes were full of intrigue and curiousness as he watched the burning tree .

That gave Qin Feng the chills . It was the same expression when Z was looking at Qin Feng—The sight of a mad scientist on an interesting study subject .

Z said enthusiastically, “This is such an extraordinary organism . I have never thought that a beast could strengthen itself simply by eating things . This is a rare experimental material that could probably help propel my research into the next stage!”

Qin Feng’s face changed after hearing what Z had said .

Humans, theoretically, could also strengthen themselves by consuming items like herbs and beast meat . But not many could actually swallow raw materials from nature or even other humans to boost up .

Speaking of which, the Cinder Pine shared some similarities with Qin Feng and his Absorption Ability .

Z continued . “Fascinating, truly fascinating . My research is still far from complete . If I can decode and acquire this ability, then in the future humans could probably kill the beasts and directly devour them to become stronger . In that case, a human could grow without any limit . That could ultimately devoid the need for mutation . There’s enormous risk in tinkering with human genes, after all!”

Qin Feng’s heart sank as Z talked to himself . What Z said was exactly his ability .

Z tilted his head and looked at Qin Feng . He then offered half-jokingly, “Qin Feng, why don’t you join me and help me with the research? I know there are a lot of mutants currently under you who are unable to break through!”

Qin Feng furrowed his brows and answered back coldly, “No thanks . ”

He did have underlings like that . The ones closest to him were Lin Wuyi and Han Nuan . At the moment, Han Nuan was doing okay but Lin Wuyi’s development had been in jeopardy . The latter could only evolve through experimental means, which came with tremendous risks .

No matter what, Qin Feng would not work with Z . This man was not just a mad scientist, but also an elect with great power .

Collaboration with another user must be built on one foundation, which was that the two collaborators must be at least equal in strength .

There might come a time when Qin Feng would have no choice but to collaborate with him . That would only happen after Qin Feng had reached the S-tier .

Z was not surprised that Qin Feng rejected him so quickly . He knew how cautious Qin Feng was toward him .

He was just testing Qin Feng and suggested it randomly . The Cinder Pine was what really occupied his mind now .

“Hehe! Forget it then . But I am taking that tree over there,” Z left behind those words and turned his back on Qin Feng .

His aura changed rapidly and in the next instance, a giant black wyvern appeared in the sky .

It was Z’s Spirit .

The Cinder Pine was very powerful . It could move the land and shroud the skies .

But Z’s Spirit was not at all inferior to the Cinder Pine .

“Roar!”

The wyvern spirit growled and dived at the pine .

Sharp claws of the wyvern hinged on the tree and began to crush its branches . Sounds of branches breaking were heard consistently .

The branches looked small from a distance but they exploded into a loud bang when they hit the ground . Each “small” branch measured at least twenty-meter long and one meter wide . It was almost the size of a common trunk .

Such a battle was horrific to the eyes .

Qin Feng was astounded watching from afar .

Z hid inside his spirit, which now seemed larger than the Cinder Pine . Each time it landed its claws, more parts from the pine were pried off .

No one could or would intervene in the battle between two mammoths .

‘Is this the disparity in terms of power, or more to size??’ A question came into Qin Feng’s mind .

He felt that his level was probably similar to that of the pine . But their size made all the difference .

Qin Feng could destroy a mountain easily with his power but against the Cinder Pine, he could only approach from the perimeter and slowly remove the tree’s wildly dancing branches and leaves .

However, Z’s Spirit ignored all that and struck straight to the Cinder Pine’s core .

Undeniably, Z was an S-tier as compared to Qin Feng’s C-tier . But his size advantage was still enormous .

In the future, Qin Feng would probably be even more powerless against a larger beast like how it was today .

However, Qin Feng quickly diminished the thought .

‘Z must be showing this on purpose . He wants me to think this way . I have not seen him being this dramatic when battling with Hu San . Dream on if you think this can persuade me to become your experimental subject!’

‘So what if the Spirit is indeed more powerful? Who can guarantee that I wouldn’t become a horrible monster in the future if I accept his offer? All the things that I have built up so far would be worth nothing if that’s the case . ’

Moreover, Qin Feng still had memories of all the major events taking place in the next 8 years . This advantage alone would make Qin Feng the pinnacle of the human race!

He refused to believe that his achievements would stop there . A stern and determined expression appeared on Qin Feng’s face .

This was when another behemoth appeared on the horizon .

It was the Floating City .

“Let’s go!”

Qin Feng pinched Bai Li’s waist . The white fox immediately used spatial runes to teleport both of them above the city .

They swiftly entered the control room of the flying castle . The others had become used to Qin Feng’s sudden appearance and were not surprised by his abrupt entrance . They were all observing the battle outside solemnly .

Curiosity filled their eyes but none of them was talking .

Those maneuvering the Floating City were the Fengli Organization’s best gunners .

Their allegiance to Qin Feng was absolute and they underwent the toughest training directly under Qin Feng . Unlike ancient warriors and ability users, they believed only Qin Feng could lead them into a bright future . That was why they were the most loyal group to Qin Feng inside the corporation .

“Lock on to the tree and the man over there . Prepare to launch an attack anytime!” Qin Feng ordered instantly .

If the opportunity were to present itself, Qin Feng did not mind taking Z down together with the Cinder Pine .

But Z did not give Qin Feng any chance . He was simply too powerful . Though the Cinder Pine was pretty strong, it had lost any ability to fight back .

The giant black wyvern spiraled down and clamped on the Cinder Pine’s trunk . It then ruthlessly tightened its grip .

The roots of the Cinder Pine swung madly and lashed on the wyvern’s body . But it had failed to leave any wound on it .

Instead, its trunk shrunk greatly under the wyvern’s crushing grip .

Crack! Crack! Crack!

It sounded like its life was being sapped away gradually .

Snap!

On the surveillance monitor inside the control room, the trunk of the mighty Cinder Pine was seen broken in half .
