1028: Chapter 1021: Heart of the Desert 1028: Chapter 1021: Heart of the Desert “Tick!
Tick!
Tick!
Tick!
Tick!
——”
The restaurant’s hall was utterly quiet, the only sound was the faint ticking of the second hand on the wall clock.
The Nia Country soldiers holding firepower weapons had their heads bowed in trepidation.
They feared Jocelyn might order them to aim at Ye Chenfeng and fire.
Among these soldiers, many probably weren’t afraid of death, but that didn’t mean they were willing to throw their lives away for nothing.
When facing an opponent who only allowed you to look up, you simply couldn’t harbor any thoughts of resistance.
The restaurant owner, Tang Guohua, and his daughter, Tang Xiaoyun, were sitting with Ye Chenfeng.
They had just witnessed one Nia Country soldier after another getting headshot, the scene so brutally bloody that they didn’t dare to even breathe heavily.
The leader of Nia Country, Jocelyn, watched the ticking of the clock’s second hand, as if seeing the specter of death.
Moreover, he hadn’t managed to contact the Heavenly Alliance.
His doubts had already taken root, and now, hearing that everyone from the Heavenly Alliance had been killed by Ye Chenfeng and his associates, Jocelyn didn’t dare act rashly in front of Ye Chenfeng.
Perhaps Jocelyn was a person of overwhelming authority in Nia Country, perhaps with a single word he could have many people killed immediately, but before absolute power, any authority could be shattered.
The power in this world was, after all, defined by the strong!
Ye Chenfeng glanced indifferently at Jocelyn and said, “Only twenty seconds left.”
Jocelyn wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, swallowed hard, and said urgently, “Honorable Sir, I have the information you need.
Please, I beg you to listen patiently.”
Ye Chenfeng nodded and responded, “Fine, but only if the information you’re about to share is truly useful to me will I consider overlooking today’s incident.”
Jocelyn hurriedly adjusted his breathing, finding that the aura emanating from the young Ye Chenfeng almost suffocated him.
He said, “Sir, those mysterious people who once controlled our Nia Country asked us to search in the deserts around the world for something.
Just a few days ago, we found a vast desert in the northwest of Huaxia Country.
Your Huaxia people call that desert the Land of Death.”
“Our people have used precise instruments to preliminarily estimate that something the mysterious people need is in the Desert of Death.
They described its appearance to us.
It grows beneath the desert; it’s shaped like a heart and is blood-red throughout.
They refer to this thing as the Heart of the Desert.”
After listening to the words of Nia Country’s supreme leader, Jocelyn, Ye Chenfeng, Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the others, their eyes flashed with a gleam of interest.
Before coming to Nia Country, Shen Jingwu showed Ye Chenfeng a catalog about various herbs that could enhance Soul Force.
Based on Jocelyn’s description and the name he gave, they were certain that what the Heavenly Alliance wanted Nia Country to search for in the deserts around the world was indeed the Heart of the Desert.
Finding the Heart of the Desert was no easy task.
It was useful for those below the Saint Level Soul Force.
Any strong person below the Saint Level who consumed a Heart of the Desert could immediately enhance their strength by a minor level.
However, the effect of the Heart of the Desert was only present upon its first consumption.
No wonder Ye Chenfeng and the others were so intensely focused after hearing about the Heart of the Desert, after all, their current strengths were still beneath that of the Saint Level Soul Force.
As long as they could find the Heart of the Desert and consume it, their strength would be able to advance by a minor level immediately.
“Do you know the exact location of the Heart of the Desert?” Ye Chenfeng inquired.
Jocelyn shook his head and answered, “Our people have only initially detected that the Desert of Death in Huaxia Country contains the Heart of the Desert.
Based on predictions, the Heart of the Desert grows in the middle part of the Land of Death, and beyond that, I truly don’t know anything else.”
Ye Chenfeng fell silent and nodded.
It seemed that after returning to Huaxia Country, he would have to make a trip to the Land of Death.
His greatest desire now was to quickly enhance his strength.
Not only was the Heart of the Desert useful for him, but if he could collect a large number of them and combine them with the Primordial Heart Fruits he had found underground, he might be able to quickly build a group of potent Soul Force warriors.
The leader of Nia Country, Jocelyn, looked at Ye Chenfeng, who had not yet spoken, and his heart sank even more.
Cold sweat kept sliding down his face, and his legs were getting weaker.
With a “thud,” Jocelyn lost his balance and sat down on the ground.
Ye Chenfeng was pulled back to reality by this scene.
He looked at the terrified Jocelyn, shivering all over, and couldn’t help but chuckle.
He said, “Since the information you provided is useful to us, all of you can leave now.
Remember to restore communication in Bujada city.”
“Of course, sir, I’ll get to it right away.” Jocelyn, who had been collapsed on the ground, seemed to come back to life as soon as he heard Ye Chenfeng’s words.
After repeatedly assuring Chenfeng, he respectfully led the soldiers of Nia Country out of the restaurant.
“Chenfeng, it seems our efforts haven’t been wasted this time.
Although we’re out of Primordial Heart Fruits, the Heart of the Desert is still useful to us.
Once we get back to Huaxia Country, we can prepare to make a trip to the Land of Death,” Shen Mingxuan eagerly said after Jocelyn left the restaurant.
Ye Chenfeng pondered for a moment and then said, “Alright, then let’s make preparations.
We’ll return to Huaxia Country tomorrow.” He had no intention of taking out the Primordial Heart Fruit and the supreme-quality Primordial Heart Fruit right now.
He planned to return to Huaxia Country with Shen Mingxuan and others first and then quickly come back to Nia Country.
After all, the members of the Heavenly Alliance wouldn’t be able to reach Nia Country within a few days, and the place had been repeatedly scouted by Xu Shengnan and confirmed to not have any Primordial Heart Fruit, so for the time being, it was still safe.
Ye Chenfeng then turned his attention to Tang Guohua and Tang Xiaoyun, asking, “Mr.
Tang, which city in Huaxia Country are you planning to visit?
Why don’t you return with us tomorrow?
I’ll help you arrange things for after you return to the country.”
Tang Guohua quickly waved his hands and said, “Sir, after what just happened, my daughter and I definitely won’t encounter any danger.
But, we have been in Nia Country for long enough; it is time to return to our homeland!
The city we are going to is surely different from yours, and I’ve saved some money over the years here in Nia Country.
My daughter and I don’t want to trouble you all.
I can see that all of you are not ordinary people.”
Tang Guohua spoke with genuine sincerity.
He understood that Ye Chenfeng and his associates were from a different world.
Even though he was shocked by Chenfeng and his companions’ capabilities, those same capabilities also frightened him.
All he wanted was to lead an ordinary life with his daughter.
Seeing the truth in Tang Guohua’s words, Chenfeng didn’t insist anymore.
Now that Tang Guohua and Tang Xiaoyun were safe, he discreetly left a bank card on the dining table and wrote a note beside it while nobody was paying attention.
After finishing this, Chenfeng stood up without hesitation and said, “Okay, Mr.
Tang, since you want to return to Huaxia Country on your own, I won’t press the matter.
If you encounter difficulties after returning to Huaxia, you can contact me.”
Watching Chenfeng and the others walk away, Tang Xiaoyun pouted and said, “He says to contact him if we run into trouble, but we don’t even have his contact information.
I think he was just being polite.”
Hearing this, Tang Guohua also smiled wryly and shook his head.
However, when he was about to clean up the dining table, he saw the bank card and the note that Chenfeng had left behind.
Tang Xiaoyun saw this too and read aloud, “The bank card’s PIN is…
consider this an investment from me.
After you return to Huaxia Country, you will surely need money.
This is also my way of apologizing, after all, I’ve disrupted your lives.
This is my mobile number…
after you return to Huaxia, you can reach me on this number if you want to contact me.”
Tang Xiaoyun picked up the bank card from the dining table and said, “Dad, it looks like he really does want to help us!”
Tang Guohua took the bank card from his daughter’s hand and immediately checked the bank card on a computer in the restaurant, only to find that it contained a whopping ten million yuan—enough to open a decent restaurant back in Huaxia Country.
Staring at the numbers in the bank account, both Tang Guohua and Tang Xiaoyun were stunned.
But for Chenfeng, money was just a number now.
He could see that Tang Guohua and Tang Xiaoyun were good people, and meeting this father and daughter in Nia Country was a kind of destiny.
So, Chenfeng decided to lend a helping hand to them.
