Abyss Summoner-Chapter 368 - 358: Letter of Request for Aid
Order.
On the desk in front of Chen Feng were several documents, and his mood seemed somewhat heavy at this moment. The nearby rift was always a knot in his heart. However, after a few days of observation, the rift showed signs of shrinking, which was clearly a sign that it was about to disappear.
During these three days, several monsters occasionally emerged from it, the strongest among them being a Silver Tier brachiosaurus.
It had a long neck and a dragon-like head, standing over six meters tall, and was proficient in water element abilities, capable of spewing water jets and ice spikes through its mouth.
It was powerful enough, so Chen Feng sent people to capture it. After a few days of training, it was just successfully tamed by a Beast Tamer today and became a member of the Beast Garden.
As the ruler of Order, Chen Feng had absolute authority. At this moment, several urgent documents were placed on the table, awaiting his review.
He picked up the first one for a look, then set it down. The insect forces were retreating steadily. Although numbers were the insects’ advantage, without the support of the Insect King and the Annihilation Insect Emperor, no matter how many insects there were, they were merely minor characters. After a period of slaughter, most of the area west of the bridge had been recaptured, and the insects were completely trapped in a narrow space. The idea of their resurgence was simply nonsense.
Chen Feng had no plans to eradicate them completely. Insects were one of the main food sources. What he needed to do now was to keep the insects confined in a corner, raise them like livestock, and harvest them when needed to replenish the food stores of Order. When food was abundant, he let the insects grow freely. Unable to fight humans, they could only target beasts and zombies. Apart from their role as food, they also acted as scavengers.
The second document recorded the birth of a baby in Order. Even before the apocalypse, there were many pregnant women, so the birth of babies was not particularly uncommon. However, this time, it was on Chen Feng’s desk because the newborn infant was a Practitioner.
Even more astonishing was that neither her mother nor her father was a Practitioner.
What did this signify?
This was a Practitioner born from ordinary parents.
The energy in the air had become denser.
Compared to the previous months, the energy in the air had increased significantly during this period. The likelihood of ordinary people becoming Practitioners would increase by one to two percent, and some babies might even awaken abilities at birth, becoming Practitioners.
And these Awakened, possessing abilities since infancy, undoubtedly had superior talent compared to those who awakened later.
The apocalypse is a protracted war.
These awakened babies are the hope of Order. Cultivating them will soon turn them into valuable assets. A baby’s world is a blank canvas; as the city’s leader, whatever he wishes to write will take form.
Fanatics in training.
Chen Feng saw not only the darkness before him but also the light in the distance.
He would focus on nurturing these potential assets. In their childhood, apart from supplements, there would be systematic training. These were the seeds for Order’s future, and as the first awakened baby, Chen Feng had already ordered that he would personally adopt her as a goddaughter.
She is fortunate.
From birth, she had the city’s most powerful leader as her backing, while Chen Feng’s intention was to promote his benevolent image.
Celebrity effect.
Occasionally, he needed to make some gestures and appear before the public.
At this moment, only an envelope remained on the desk. Chen Feng picked it up, and upon opening it, his expression turned peculiar. His previously relaxed gaze now became much more focused. Clearly, the information revealed within piqued Chen Feng’s interest.
After a moment, Chen Feng placed the envelope back on the table.
This was a call for help.
In the human world, it was impossible for Order to be the only city on this land. During times of peace, cities were like celestial bodies, scattered around.
When disaster struck, power equipment collapsed, and even basic communication signals were lost. All cities became like caves in the dark, devoid of illumination, focusing only on their own small domains.
Previously, Order was shrouded by the Insect Race, and Chen Feng had no leisure to explore the surrounding situation. Now that the insect tide had just ended, someone unexpectedly came seeking help before he could explore on his own.
kilometers away was a coastal city, which, before the apocalypse, was considered a hub, a key developed city. Unlike the eastern bridge, that city was larger, broader, and more populous. Even at the apocalypse’s onset, it suffered severe damage. Due to the large population, there were quite a few awakened Practitioners. After some time of development, they had already suppressed the monsters and vaguely gained the upper hand.
Moreover, being a coastal city, they could rely on the sea for self-sufficiency. People had no worries about food. Under such circumstances, the city should have been increasingly prosperous, soon to be rebuilt completely.
However...
Not long ago, a horde of monsters suddenly attacked the city.
According to the letter, the attackers were creatures with wolf-like faces but capable of walking upright. These monsters seemed to appear out of nowhere, first massacring some strongholds, and then they began integrating scattered beasts around. After some development, they ended up commanding 80% of the surrounding beasts, forming a force. Humans, to protect their homes, began a brutal battle with them.
Many monsters were killed or injured, but the human side also faced devastating blows. Two of the camp’s three top fighters were killed in battle, and only one continued to hold on. Ammunition was running out, and most of the defensive walls had been destroyed. Although the beast legion led by the Jackal-wolfmen had been driven back, if they returned, that city alone would only face destruction.
Therefore, after some negotiations, the city decided to send out some elites to seek help from surrounding areas as a last ditch effort.
The man who arrived seeking help from Order was one of these teams. Unfortunately, from an original team of eight, only one survived a series of perils, and he was severely wounded. After leaving the letter, he fell into a coma, utterly weak.
Chen Feng leaned back in his chair.
Wolf face and human body.
There was no need for further thought. Chen Feng could determine that these were undoubtedly Jackal-wolfmen.
A Jackal-wolfman capable of commanding countless beasts, even at its weakest, was a Silver Peak expert. More so, the creature might likely be a presence at the Golden Tier.
Chen Feng tapped his fingers on the table. After only a few seconds of contemplation, he was filled with resolve.
The Maritime Era had arrived, and defending the mainland would not seize the initiative he envisioned. His original plan, after stabilizing, was to find a suitable port to explore the surrounding situation.
T City’s call for help certainly matched Chen Feng’s intent.
Jackal-wolfmen?
Even if they were Golden Tier, so what?
As long as they weren’t Legendary Creatures, monsters of the same tier were not beyond Chen Feng’s ability to confront. More importantly, after advancing, he could summon two Summoned Beasts. The Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish had already taken one spot. If he could obtain the corpse of a Golden Tier entity, it would undoubtedly serve as preparation for the next summon.
This venture was worth a try.
However, 200 kilometers was not a short distance. Without transport, it would take about six days to reach, and they would encounter dangerous foes along the way. The team would also face challenges from the environment and monsters.
Plan carefully.
Even with the decision made for battle, the journey might encounter various special factors, which must be carefully dealt with.
