Chapter 64

Lei Xingfeng found that they had already arrived below the giant image. He could now determine that the image was indeed a result of light refraction, but how it was refracted and where the original source was, he could not understand. Moreover, he still could not make out what the image was. Due to being very close, the image became a large expanse of various colors of light, making it impossible for him to piece together the original image.

Lei Ba默算了一阵，说道：“你们算好了吗？”

After a moment, Grandma Tai said, "A hundred meters ahead... is the best position."

Ge Lu smiled and said, "Don't ask me, I won't calculate this thing."

Tai Lang said, "About right, I'm a bit to the south."

Lei Xingfeng curiously asked, "Grandma Dan, what are they calculating?"

An Yadan said, "Calculating the best entry point. Once we occupy that point, well, we'll become the target. There will likely be some fighting, depending on who comes... If their strength is inferior to ours, hehe, we'll get the biggest benefit."

Soon, Lei Ba and Tai Lang determined the best position.

Tai Lang ordered, "Immediately occupy this area. Whoever comes, drive them out!" At this moment, they absolutely could not be modest. Unless the opponent had more powerful means, they would not yield.

Lei Ba beckoned, "Feng, come to me." He had to protect Lei Xingfeng. The reason he brought Lei Xingfeng along was mainly to give him more experience. Lei Xingfeng understood his intentions. With such a supportive elder, other cultivators couldn't compare. He would get more resources, more learning opportunities, and more experience, all of which would greatly promote his growth.

The determined point was a small sand dune. Under Tai Lang's orders, they quickly surrounded the dune with sand beasts. Anyone who dared to enter this area would be eliminated.

Tai Lang quickly had a large tent set up. The tent was also umbrella-shaped, with open sides. If needed, thick curtains could be lowered on all four sides to block the wind and sand. The ground was covered with thick felt carpets to insulate the scorching sand.

Lei Xingfeng no longer needed his ring armor to insulate the heat. Fortunately, after the tent was set up, it cooled down inside in about half an hour. Of course, the temperature was still around forty degrees, but it was much better than the eighty degrees outside.

The hot climate made Lei Xingfeng feel tired. He silently picked up his water bag, took a sip, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This water is scalding!"

Grandma Tai said nothing, reached out, and took the water bag from Lei Xingfeng. She stroked the water bag with her hand a few times and then handed it back to Lei Xingfeng.

Lei Xingfeng was surprised to find that the water in the bag had become icy cold, as if it had just been frozen. He couldn't help but take sip after sip, exhaling a cold breath, and said, "Thank you, Grandma Tai."

Grandma Tai smiled slightly, nodded, and said nothing.

These experts were very friendly to Lei Xingfeng. Of course, this was partly due to Old Man Lei Ba's relationship, and partly because Lei Xingfeng had already reached the level of a Ten Thousand Wheel Master at a young age, with such great potential. They were all experienced people and didn't mind showing kindness to Lei Xingfeng, which was also a form of investment.

An Yadan pouted, flipped her wrist, and took out a bucket of ice, saying, "Put it next to you, it will be much more comfortable."

Lei Xingfeng took a large water bag and put the ice in it. After a while, he poured a large cup of iced water for everyone. When he handed the iced water to Tai Lang, he asked, "Grandpa Tai Lang, how long do we have to wait?"

Tai Lang smiled and said, "I don't know either, maybe two days, maybe a month. We have to wait until the force binding the Wheel Storage Space disappears before we can enter. Just wait."

Lei Xingfeng said, "If we can't enter now... more and more people will come. This place will really become a battlefield. Do we have the confidence to defeat everyone?" He wasn't foolish; he knew that this place was the key to entry and would be the target.

Lei Ba said, "Feng, don't worry. It will take at least one to three years for this news to spread widely. Hehe, we are close, and even if experts can come, they are limited. We have enough strength here, but... even if our strength is super strong, we will still have to fight fiercely until the Wheel Storage Space opens."

Tai Lang smiled and said, "You can observe carefully. It will be very beneficial for your cultivation and combat."

Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa, be careful." In fact, what he most hoped for was to live a peaceful life in this world without so many battles. However, after seeing the cruelty of this world, he forced himself to become stronger.

Tai Lang assigned the duty shifts, and Lei Xingfeng also received his task. No one was an exception. Jin Dapang's task was the simplest; he had to cook for everyone. This was everyone's opinion, as this fat man was a top-notch cook, and everyone who ate his food left a strong impression.

Lei Xingfeng got a relatively good shift, from sunset to midnight, which was the first half of the night.

Jin Dapang liked to bring a box of food to Lei Xingfeng after cooking dinner, then sit next to him, and they would chat casually, watching the setting sun and the occasional moving figures in the distance.

Six days passed without any cultivator teams coming to contest this place. Each time, they would see teams in the distance, but they would leave far away.

Jin Dapang, looking at the moving figures in the distance, laughed and said, "It's really strange, why don't they come over?"

Lei Xingfeng said, "Yes, I don't understand either. In these few days, at least six or seven teams have passed by, and none of them stopped to contest this place..."

Yan Wu walked over and said, "Do you know the reason? Hehe, I know the reason."

Jin Dapang asked curiously, "What is the reason?"

Yan Wu said, "A very simple answer..." He smiled mockingly and said, "Because they can't calculate, they don't know this is the best waiting spot."

Lei Xingfeng said, "I see, so... if a team comes to contest this spot, it means they have an expert, or someone skilled in calculation."

Yan Wu was a bit surprised and laughed, "Not bad, Feng, quick reaction!"

Jin Dapang slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, no wonder they avoid us. According to Feng's theory, if they can calculate the best spot, this place won't be peaceful."

Lei Xingfeng said, "Hehe, then... we can see high-level battles." He was curious; he had experienced many battles, but he had never seen a life-or-death battle between True Humans. He was very curious about the style of battles between true experts in this world.

Jin Dapang nodded repeatedly. Not only had Lei Xingfeng not seen it, but he hadn't either. He had seen the most of low-level cultivators and barbarians fighting, or battles between low-level cultivators. He also hoped to see high-level battles, which would be very beneficial for his cultivation and future combat.

Yan Wu laughed and said, "You don't understand, low-level cultivator battles are actually more brutal. High-level cultivator battles, especially True Human level, are not as cruel."

Lei Xingfeng said, "How can that be? I think True Human level battles are more intense."

Yan Wu said, "In terms of intensity, of course, low-level cultivators can't compare. True Human level battles are grand in scale, but they are not as cruel."

Lei Xingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, maybe I'll understand when I see it."

Yan Wu said, "Once you see it, you'll understand, and it will be very beneficial for your future growth. You'll know which areas to strengthen and which areas you don't need to pursue. Hehe, many cultivators may never see a battle between experts in their lifetime."

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "I think this time we will definitely see a battle between experts."

Although it was quiet at the moment, there was a sense of impending storm, making Lei Xingfeng feel very oppressed. The sky was completely dark, and Jin Dapang laughed and said, "Eat quickly."

Lei Xingfeng opened the lunch box lid, revealing a box of roasted meat. Jin Dapang handed him a few pieces of flatbread, and Lei Xingfeng started eating. It had to be said, Jin Dapang's cooking skills were indeed impressive, and the taste was excellent. In fact, Lei Xingfeng's cooking skills were also good, but compared to Jin Dapang, they were far inferior.

He wolfed down the flatbread and meat quickly, wiped his mouth, and praised, "Dapang, with you around, we definitely won't worry about food and drink, hehe."

Jin Dapang smiled and said, "Besides cultivation, my biggest hobby is eating. Life is about... being able to taste all kinds of delicious food, and that makes life worth it."

Lei Xingfeng joked, "Oh, so you cultivate just to find more delicious food?"

Jin Dapang nodded seriously and said, "Of course! After cultivation, it's easier to earn money. Also, if I can reach the True Human level, my lifespan will be longer, allowing me to eat more delicious food, isn't that right?"

Yan Wu was taken aback by his ambition and said, "You cultivate for eating?"

Jin Dapang said matter-of-factly, "Of course!"

Lei Xingfeng and Yan Wu were speechless. This guy was a rare oddity, having such thoughts.

...

The next morning, Lei Xingfeng walked out of the tent. The desert morning was not hot, even a bit cold. When the sun rose, the desert quickly turned into a large furnace.

Tai Lang was on duty in the second half of the night, and the morning was his shift change time. The morning was Old Man Lei Ba's responsibility.

A team was approaching them from a distance. Lei Ba, Tai Lang, Yan Wu, and the others watched quietly. They all understood that sooner or later, someone would come. Lei Xingfeng stared at the approaching figures, and Jin Dapang was by his side, saying, "I hope they are just passing by."
