Chapter 1: The Sunset Fortress

  A broadsword imbued with fierce energy fiercely slashed open a wolf head that was charging forward with great momentum, and blood splattered everywhere.

  "Squad leader, I think we're done for," said the magician Beifa with a wry smile.

  He had shrunk to the very middle of the group, a magician without magic was no match for even a slightly stronger warrior.

  Kens nodded bitterly: "Ah, it's all my fault for insisting on taking this task in the first place..."

  "Squad leader, don't blame yourself either, we also agreed to it." The elf comforted him from the side, his bow and arrow shooting out quickly like a crossbow.

  Dwarf Badas also understood that he had dragged everyone down and fell silent, the iron hammer in his hand slowing down.

  A "ferocious blood wolf" took the opportunity to pounce over, its sharp claws and teeth gleaming with a faint blue light, reaching for the dwarf's skull.

  Be careful.

  An iron arrow shot into the throat of the "Fierce Blood Wolf" just as it was about to pounce on the dwarf's head, blood splashing out and spraying the dwarf in the face.

  The dwarf shuddered as the warm blood splashed on him, and he came to his senses, smiling somewhat awkwardly.

  Looking at his increasingly weak companion, Kens revealed a bitter smile.

  "It seems it's really over."

  "Hehe, Uncle Kens, didn't expect to run into you here." A soft laughter came from a distance.

  Upon hearing the familiar laughter, Kens was overjoyed as if he had been given a new lease on life. He shouted excitedly: "Xiao Feng, is that you? Hurry up and lend us a hand!" Turning his head, he smiled reassuringly at his three companions: "We're saved, don't worry, we'll be able to return soon."

  Three people looked at each other in dismay, wondering where the captain got such great confidence from.

  Even a 7th-level expert can only escape from so many "Ferocious Blood Wolves", wanting to bring out a few more people is somewhat unrealistic.

  "Hehe, okay."

  With a faint whisper, a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone with an eerie presence.

  The three dwarves' hearts skipped a beat at the same time, what speed is this? So eerie.

  Looking up again, a young man who appeared to be only in his early twenties was still just a youth with unformed teeth in the eyes of the long-lived elves and dwarves.

  "Captain, why so much confidence in him?"

  Kens looked at Liu Feng, whose aura was even more powerful than before, and understood that he must have made another breakthrough in his abilities.

  With a delighted expression, he laughed loudly and said: "Xiao Feng, I didn't expect that the life you owed me last time still hasn't been repaid, yet now I'm going to be saved by you again."

  Liu Feng smiled slightly: "Uncle Kens, didn't you also advance?"

  "How dare you compare with me."

  The two men regarded the surrounding pack of wolves as nothing.

  This left the three of them somewhat perplexed - just a moment ago, their captain had been worried to death, so how did he suddenly come up with such a bold and generous idea?

  Liu Fengyi was a bold and confident person, of course, he wouldn't take these few little wolves seriously.

  But Ken was deeply shocked by what happened in the Death Forest and had great confidence in Liu Feng.

  "Hmm... that... that... boss. Don't you think we should deal with this pack of wolves first, and then talk?" asked dwarf Badass weakly, raising his hand.

  The two of them heard this and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Heh heh, then I'll take care of these beasts first before we chat." Liu Feng said with a smile.

  "That's troublesome." Kens said with a hearty laugh, clenching his fists.

  The three people below also stretched their necks to look at this young man who seemed like a high-ranking official, wondering how he could solve such a big group of wolves.

  With a burst of internal energy from her left hand, a large clump of grass leaves was lifted off the ground and sucked into Liu Feng's slender white palm.

  Fingers swiftly plucked, every fragile blade of grass turned into a deadly wolf-slaying tool at this moment.

  The blades of grass were infused with inner energy and became as hard as steel.

  With a "whirring" sound, it streaks through the void with faint, pale blue marks.

  Not a single one was missed, sandwiched with the sound of breaking through the air, passing through the throats of the wolves, taking away one by one the ferocious souls.

  The three of them were left speechless with their mouths agape, even Kens was shocked beyond words.

  Although I knew this brother was very capable, I still didn't expect... actually... so capable.

  That's a blade of grass that can be torn apart with just one pull.

  That's wolf skin that can withstand two-tiered Dou Qi!

  Two completely different things were suddenly turned upside down in an instant.

  A serene silence on the grassland, as if even the wind has frozen in place.

  Gently patted her hand, removing the remaining green grass clippings from her palm.

  "Come on, what's the point of still standing here?"

  The sound awakened the four people from their daze.

  Slowly regaining consciousness, he looked at Liu Feng's eyes which were filled with admiration.

  If it weren't for a shred of sanity, I might have rushed over to ask for an autograph by now...

  "Haha, Xiao Feng, you're getting more and more formidable! Come here and let me introduce you to these three useless kids." Ken laughed loudly and said to Liu Feng.

  The three men heard the captain say this and all showed a bitter expression.

  Kens pointed at the young man wearing a red monk's robe and smiled.

  "This is Mage Beifa, a 4th-grade fire-attribute mage, who boasts about being the future's great star mage all day long, but it's clear he has no hope."

  "This is Elf Mofei, a 4th-level archer, and his marksmanship isn't bad."

  "This is Dwarf Badas, a troublemaker. Every time he goes on a mercenary mission, he causes trouble for no reason. Today's wolf pack was also his doing."

  The dwarf heard this and rubbed his head awkwardly.

  "This is Liu Feng, that young strongman I often tell you about. He's actually a high-ranking 8th-stage expert."

  Although I broke through the Renmai with the help of the dragon blood bath in Ya Fei Te, and entered the nine-star boundary, it's better to hide one's strength if possible, after all, there's no harm in that.

  So Xiaxia nodded and smiled: "From now on, just call me Xiao Feng."

  "Alright, alright, let's hurry back, or else the 'Sun Will Not Set' will close its city gates soon."

  ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

  Looking at the towering fortress in front of him, Liu Feng's face was shocked.

  I didn't expect to see such a magnificent city in this strange world.

  A hundred meters high city wall, as thick as over ten meters, the outer layer of the city wall is attached with a special stone material that can absorb magic. Under the sunlight, it shines with an extraordinary glow.

  On the top of the city wall, dozens of arrow towers stand in a crisscross pattern.

  A magic tower stands in the center of the city, emitting a layer of light from its tip that envelops the entire city.

  "Heh heh, Xiao Feng, first time in 'Sunset', huh?" Looking at Liu Feng's surprised expression, the dwarf Badass chuckled and said, "I was just like you when I first came here. Who would have thought that humans are even more creative than dwarves."

  Liu Feng nodded slightly: "Indeed, it's surprising. No wonder the Beastman Empire has made no progress in a hundred years. Such a magnificent city is worthy of its name 'The Land That Never Sets'."

  "Get used to it, let's go, we'll head to the local mercenary guild first." Kens patted Liu Feng's shoulder and said with a smile.
