Chapter 169 - : Locked in the Shifter Sealing Tower
The quest clearly said to save Zhao Ling’er, who was on the fifth floor of the Shifter Sealing Tower.
But when they arrived at the fifth floor, there was no Zhao Ling’er at all.
That could only mean one thing. There was a problem with this quest!
That meant that the person who issued the quest was not Li Xiaoyao, or that Li Xiaoyao was an antagonist in the plot of this game.
The latter seemed a bit impossible. Even if the NPC was an antagonist, they would not automatically antagonize them without cause.
There was another possibility. The quest did not have any problem. Perhaps returning and asking Li Xiaoyao about it would unlock the next chain of events.
Clang… Clang…
Just as Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu were about to leave using their Town Portal Skill and ask Li Xiaoyao about it, the chains on the three giant swords moved. Like slithering snakes, they appeared next to them in the blink of an eye and chained them together, then pulled them back unto the giant sword.
“Brother Mantis, what happened? Did we position ourselves wrongly?” The Lightning Tiger King looked at the Thunderclap Mantis.
“Something happened to the boss!” Said the Thunderclap as it ran toward Xiaotian who was resting by a lake.
“Xiaotian, where’s your golden pill?” The Thunderclap Mantis approached Xiaotian and asked urgently.
“The golden pill was given to me by the boss!” Xiaotian looked at the Thunderclap Mantis vigilantly.
“The boss is in danger, and he has asked me to get a golden pill to save him. Once the boss is saved, he would give you two!” The Thunderclap Mantis said.
Xiaotian looked at the Thunderclap Mantis’s serious expression, and he knew that the Thunderclap Mantis never joked around, he did not hesitate and took out the Evolution Pill from the fur on his chest and threw it to the Thunderclap Mantis.
When it had the Evolution Pill, it then headed toward Guapi.
“Guapi, you have the ability to warp through space, correct?”
The Thunderclap Mantis had seen Guapi’s ability once. The dragon horn on Guapi had runes that allowed her to warp through space and allowed her to appear in any location within fifty meters. It was even more powerful than your common positioning skills.
Guapi blinked and said, “That’s right. We, from the Arcane Amulet Dragon tribe, are most proficient in using runes. We know runes for every type of magic. Isn’t that great? Do you adore me now? Do you want to follow me instead?”
The Thunderclap Mantis rolled its eyes at her and said urgently, “We can discuss that later. The boss is in danger. Send me out of the Qiankun Gourd and the Spatial Bracelet. After it’s done, the boss will give you, the Horned Lightning Hawk and the Two-headed Gryphon, a golden pill each, how does that sound?”
“Three golden pills?! Let me try!”
The moment she heard of the golden pills, Guapis eyes beamed and she nodded. The runes on her dragon horn began to shine.
Very quickly, the runes conjured a talisman that was wrapped around the Thunderclap Mantis.
Whoosh!
Next, the Thunderclap Mantis disappeared.
But in the next moment, the Thunderclap Mantis reappeared next to Heifeng, who was licking a chicken drumstick.
When Heifeng saw the Thunderclap Mantis suddenly appear out of nowhere, he was stunned for a bit, then extended the chicken drumstick out to him and said, “Brother Mantis, come, lick!”
“Lick your uncle!”
With the teleportation having failed, the Thunderclap Mantis was not feeling that good. He roared at Heifeng, then once again headed toward the Arcane Amulet Dragon, hoping to give it another try.
After being scolded at for no reason at all, Heifeng could only blink and continue to lick the only chicken drumstick within the Qiankun Gourd while mumbling to himself, “Brother Mantis wants me to lick my uncle? But I don’t have an uncle!”

Just as Jiang Feng was trying to think of a way to protect the Ruler of Hakai and the Qiankun Gourd, as well as when the Thunderclap Mantis was looking for a way to leave the Qiankun Gourd, many of the players that heard the server announcement were heading toward the Shifter Sealing Tower.
Especially Qiu Si, Shen Ye, Ling Yun, Yao Qiong, and other players that had beef with Jiang Feng.
