Edik activated the power of the golden token in his hands and threw it with all his might forward.
With no intention of standing there and watching what would happen next, the strongest player in all of Russia turned around and began to run with all his energy in the same direction he had come from. In a couple of blinks of an eye, his silhouette had disappeared back into the forest trees.
On the other hand, the golden token created a beautiful arc that soared through the skies and fell a few meters away from where the huge creature was resting.
The sound caused by the fall of the golden token was almost null, however, in a place as silent as the Abyssal Valley, such a small sound was extremely clear to the supreme lord of the place.
The creature that was at least five hundred meters long and whose height reached a hundred meters even while lying down opened its eyes abruptly and its golden reptile-like eyes immediately focused on the token a few meters from it.
In the first instant that the huge dragon's eyes opened an oppressive and suffocating aura emanated from its body, terrifying all creatures several kilometers around.
However, the mighty dragon seemed to notice that something was wrong because it immediately tried to stand up.
Unfortunately, before the massive monster could even react, a two kilometer long spatial rift appeared above its head and the great suction force was so immense that its body was lifted off the ground.
Furious, the Abyss Dragon roared and fired all kinds of spells and attacks at the rift while beating its two gigantic flesh wings trying to break away from the clearly dangerous space rift.

Back to the Chinese Battle Zone, Adastreia Continent.
On the other hand, unaware that there were people plotting against him and the entire Chinese servant in general, Xie Feng rested his body and enjoyed the comforting breeze blowing in this place. Just as he was quietly settling in, the hurried sound of footsteps approaching in his direction caused his eyes to slowly open.
What he saw was a beautiful girl of ten or eleven running towards him with an excited look on her face.
"You are..." Xie Feng was also surprised when he saw the girl's face.
Although it had been almost two months since he had last seen her and the time they had been together was not long, the face of the girl who bravely stepped forward to take a killing attack for him, saving his life and risking her own while suffering from heartbreaking pain, had been completely imprinted in his memory.
"Haha! Handsome big brother, we finally meet again!" The girl, Shui Wuhen, smiled brightly and her two pretty eyes curved into a crescent shape as she looked at him happily.
Xie Feng observed the beautiful smile on the girl's face and could not help but feel in awe at such beauty. Shui Wuhen's smile was extremely pure and her eyes were like two beautiful sparkling crystals that did not hide any kind of evil hidden within.
"Really. It's been a while, little Wuhen." Xie Feng smiled back as he pointed to the spot next to him, "Do you want to sit and chat with me for a while?"
"Mm!" She nodded vigorously and without waiting another second she fluttered over like a happy butterfly, sitting down next to him and looking at him with bright eyes.
"How did you know it was me?" Xie Feng asked as he took off his mask.
"Hehe... Big brother Shiva, back then I saw how you picked up that mask from the floor. Then, when I saw that strange mask again I immediately knew it was you!" Shui Wuhen explained with a clever and happy smile.
However, Xie Feng noticed that when she mentioned the matter of the past, her two beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of pain before returning to normal.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
No matter what, for better or worse, Shui Xiu was Shui Wuhen's father. While it was true that Xie Feng did the right thing and thanks to that Shui Wuhen's life had been preserved, he still couldn't help but feel guilty for killing the girl's father.
It was just that at that time Xie Feng had no other choice. Even now, Xie Feng would have no choice but to kill Shui Xiu if he appeared again.
After all, Xie Feng was just a person. He was not an all-powerful god capable of finding optimal solutions in all cases.
Even gods could make mistakes or errors; not to mention a human being.
However, Xie Feng never thought that he had made a mistake... It was just that sometimes he had no choice but to take drastic measures.
"Little Wuhen, where is your mom?" With an intent to divert the conversation to a more comfortable point, Xie Feng asked.
Indeed, Shui When's eyes lit up with joy at the mention of her mother. She pointed towards the forest and answered honestly, "Mom is currently gathering herbs and beautiful flowers from the outer parts of the forest. In that area the monsters were already cleared by the Eternal Wind city soldiers so it's very safe nowadays."
"I see... So, while your mom is working hard, you, little girl, ran away?" Xie Feng looked at her with a knowing smile.
As if she had been caught playing pranks, Shui Wuhen blushed and looked away before saying, "N-not like that... It's just that Wuhen really is bored to death picking wildflowers!"
Seeing her pleasantly embarrassed attitude Xie Feng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Little children were like that; they were extremely pure and their emotions contained practically no malice. Unlike adults who were already tainted by the impurities of the outside world, children were mostly as a blank page. For this reason, Xie Feng really appreciated chatting with them, rather than chatting with adults who hid poisonous fangs behind their friendly smiles.
Suddenly, Xie Feng thought of something and took out the Pearl of Light from his inventory. With an apologetic face, he looked at the girl and said apologetically, "Little Wuhen, this pearl... I'm sorry, I don't know how but when I touched it back then it simply chose me as its owner, and now it is linked to me."
Shui Wuhen looked at the Pearl of Light in Xie Feng's hands with a complex look for a moment before a refreshing smile appeared on her face: "It's okay, big brother Shiva. If that beautiful pearl chose you as its owner this means it was destined to be so!"
At first, Xie Feng noticed that her gaze had a hint of reluctance and many complicated emotions that were difficult to fully comprehend. However, when she smiled again and when she said those words, Xie Feng was sure that those words came from deep in her heart because her smile could not be faked.
Shui Wuhen's words made Xie Feng unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
The pearls were items that Xie Feng was looking for and needed urgently. Gathering the different pearls was the easiest way to obtain power in a short period of time. After all, every time he obtained a new pearl, his strength underwent earth-shaking changes; this was so with the Pearl of Light and it was also so with the Pearl of Frozen Water obtained not long ago.
However, finding the pearls was not easy, and getting them was an even more difficult task.
The Pearl of Light was obtained after Xie Feng awakened his Green Flame skill in a mysterious way when his anger burst out at its peak.
The Pearl of Frozen Water was obtained from the Thousand Ice Cocatrix and, although Xie Feng defeated and killed the creature in just a few attacks, the reality was that if it wasn't for Ling Long's Calamity Roar skill, he might not even have come close before dying from a casual attack by the Immortal beast.
To say that both times Xie Feng was lucky was not exaggerated in the slightest and this was proof of how difficult it was to obtain the legendary pearls. However, regardless of how difficult it was to find their whereabouts or how difficult the circumstances he had to overcome to acquire them, Xie Feng had to do it no matter what.
The pearls were not only a means of increasing his power, Han Xue Nai, the most powerful person Xie Feng had seen so far, had advised him to hurry and gather all the pearls. This gave another great boost to Xie Feng's already strong will.
If a person as strong as Han Xue Nai gave him such advice, then it was most likely not in vain.
Of course, the God of Human Sacrifice Buluc Chabtan against whom Xie Feng had faced back then was much more powerful than Han Xue Nai. However, what Xie Feng had fought against was only a small insignificant avatar and not the real body; even Han Xue Nai herself admitted that if Buluc Chabtan appeared with his real body, she would be defenseless against him.
However, Xie Feng did not know how strong Buluc Chabtan really was. Therefore, in his mind, Han Xue Nai was the strongest existence he knew to date.
With a small ray of hope inside him, Xie Feng looked at the girl sitting next to him and asked, "Wuhen, can you tell me where you got the Pearl of Light? Actually, these items are very important to me and I am currently traveling all over the continent looking for them all."
