Following that, Reef similarly took aim and fired off that 'Peluba Shock Rifle' at the Deinonychus. This was something that Sheyan suffered to previously.
A large clump of incomparably sticky dull yellow goo jetted out and drenched the unlucky Boss Deinonychus from head to toe.
The Boss Deinonychus instantly howled with fierce misery, as it scampered around in unyielding reluctance. Yet the more it ran, the slower it became. Random sediments of rock fragments, dust and what not all adhered beneath its feed.
As it scrambled up a mound, its feet suddenly slipped and it tumbled clamorously down; resulting in it becoming a meatball coated with rock fragments, rubble sediments and dried twigs. It frenziedly attempted to claw around but to no avail.
Witnessing such a scene, Reef strolled over and laughed heartily while giving the dinosaur a kick.
"You wanna run, still wanna run? Oh, lads? What are you guys up to?"
As it turns out, the squad of hunters were now eyeing the trio with unkind expressions. Their faces revealed sinister smirks as their rifles were aimed towards the trio. When they heard Reef's words, they exchanged glances and laughed wildly.
"You actually asked us what we are up to?"
"Hey, he's asking us what we are up to?!? Haha what a fantastic joke."
"This the first time you kids are hunting eh?""..."
That leader herculean chap exposed a scorpion tattoo at his chest. His brows were hopping up as he mocked.
"Not bad, not bad at all. See what god has delivered to us? Tsk Tsk, look a latest model support weapon, the 'Shamier Jolting Gun', and the 'Peluba Shock Rifle'. Oh hoh, and a live Alpha Deinonychus. Today's truly our lucky day lads, I was still wrecking my mind over how to explain our meagre the profits to the boss, and behold, a fortune from the sky!"
Another brat with a mohawk haircut casted a sly sneer.
"Big brother Blackscorpion, what should we do now?"
Blackscorpion imposingly waved his arm.
"Tie them up. I reckon there's more to profit from these three rookies. Squeeze em' dry and finish em' off. Of course, anyone wants to have a good time toying around, feel free to do so."
The squad of hunters were actually discussing in front of the trio while treating them as victims already. One could tell how unbridled they were, having tortured others in extremely cruel ways already. Thus, their leader could so casually mutter the words 'squeeze em' dry and finish em' off'.
As Brother Black listened to them, he sighed.
"A pity kiddos, ah, I truly don't have much interest in your profits..."
After releasing his statement, Brother Black darted horizontally to the side; concurrently, his golden AK spat out streaks of fiery tongues!
Simultaneously, Sheyan triggered 'Horn-Rage' on Blackscorpion. Beside, seeing how devastating his strange weapon could be, it was probably the only item that could pose a threat to Party Ace!
There was no cause for doubt over the outcome of the battle. The prowess the trio exhibited could be said to overwhelmingly suppress the hunting squad! The only question was – how long would they take?
In the end, Blackscorpion's hunting squad awarded the trip with a harvest of 30 tiny dinocrystals and 5 average sized dinocrystals.
These dinocrystals if brought to the military, could possibly be exchanged for various equipments, medicines, recipes that even contestants could use; definitely unlike the unusable american dollars that earned earlier.
Finally, with a flash of inspiration, Sheyan spared the lives of two fortunate lackeys. The first was that brat with the mohawk called Ralf, and the second, a lame middle aged cripple known as Missinson.
That was due to the increasingly complex terrain. Not only were there rift valleys, the place was populated with quite a number of dilapidated cities. Although they had the aid of a tracking device, this place was after all, nearing the central district of the dinosaur disaster zone. Having a guide would undoubtedly shave off unnecessary troubles and even hasten the pace to their destination.
As for why Sheyan spared two lives instead of one, it was fairly simple. When the crafty Raft was about to receive a punch, he shrewdly decided to use Missinson as a meatshield…...prompting Sheyan to retract his fist in time.
Without a doubt, a deep hatred had been sown between the two. Thus, by leaving them both around, they would keep tabs on each other and not resort to any tricks.
At present, the trio had tarried for over ten minutes since being dragged into this commotion. With the addition of two guides, they decided to alter their advancing direction before swiftly departing while following the tracking device.
One had to mention that Sheyan's foresight was relatively accurate. After hiring the two guides, their efficiency in travelling was raised by a notch.
After merely half an hour, the trio were soon reaching their destination. To venture deeper into this district, would be directly entering the most dangerous region of this dinosaur disaster zone!
Normally, only the military with their air force and tanks would dare to invade the place to hunt. This was because of the high probability of meeting invincible creatures at the apex of the food chain, creatures such as the Tyrannosaurus Rex and so on!
Upon hearing distant booming sounds of support weapons, the group of humans begun to brace themselves mentally; in preparation for unimaginable and abrupt situations to befall them.
At present, Brother Black suddenly recalled something and asked.
"Hey Reef. According to what you said just now, Aldaris is clearly indebted to Zi. Yet when the Illume-union divided, why did Aldaris choose to side with Zeus?"
Upon hearing Brother Black's question, Reef similarly became rather perplexed. He couldn't think of an explanation for Aldaris's conduct as well.
Instead, Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"Heaven forbid, that guy is also a lovestruck fool in this realm...if he sided with Zi, Aldaris would merely be a Growth-Hunter to her, a part of the party's backbone. At most, Zi would have five heavenly generals under her instead of four. He wouldn't be able to win Zi's value in that manner."
"Instead, if he relied on his own strength to deal with Zeus's Glory Party and win sovereignty over the party, merging with the Illume-union once again would propel his position in Zi's heart to second to none! Why would such a formidable individual think like a fifteen year old high school student? Sadly, reality and logic always possess such cruel disparity."
"It seems that even before Aldaris even had the chance to accomplish his objective, the rich and powerful Glory Party decided to mobilize and push Zi towards the edge of fatal crisis..."
"Moreover, according to the recorded footage we saw. The situation of Aldaris battling against Yuan Zhan isn't looking too great for him eh."
At this moment, Reef earnestly refuted.
"Boss, I guessing you're calculating Aldaris's battle capabilities based on how he fought before right?"
Sheyan gently answered.
"Yeah. In the Avatar World, that battle where Aldaris defeated Zi. My calculations do stem from there."
Reef slowly explained.
"But boss, if your earlier deduction is spot on, would Aldaris unleash his full might against a woman he secretly loves?"
Sheyan became stumped and sincerely agreed.
"Nope."
Reef's gaze turned deeper as he described.
"Actually to Aldaris, he attaches utmost importance to the 'Mage-Nemesis' dagger he holds. I'm not referring to its MP burn property and deadly damage it deals to mage type contestants. On the contrary, the discrete value of that weapon, resides in supplying an endless stream of MP back to Aldaris!"
"When Aldaris offhands his weapon, that is when he is the most terrifying!"Aldaris was surrounded.
Enemies stood to his front, left, right and back!
Redoubtable enemies!
Attempting to kill a Growth-Hunter summoner, even a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter would suffice. However, once given adequate time for preparations, a Growth-Hunter summoner would turn the tides overwhelmingly with insurmountably dreadful might!
Without a doubt, when facing Aldaris, Yuan Zhan had already prepared for an extremely, extremely long time. Because he previously thought he would face off with his former party leader; the woman who understood him like the back of her hand.
In Aldaris's perspective, his rival was Yuan Zhan.
That formidable Yuan Zhan hailed by Zi as her party's reviving hope!
The frenetic retaliation of Yuan Zhan was to break all cauldrons and sinking all boats*. To Aldaris, such a circumstance was equivalent to facing the combined aggression of four Growth-Hunters.
(TL*Idiom, cutting off all means of retreat)
Nevertheless, Aldaris's gaze maintained an incredible fortitude, and even burned with slight insanely vigor. He stared at the distant Yuan Zhan with a gaze that could penetrate one's soul, and warned with austere incisiveness.
"Do you think, this can keep you from dying?"
Aldaris half knelt to the ground and pressed both palms onto the ground. In a flash, numerous white distorting glows flickered out from his palms. They resembled tiny snakes, as the white glows speedily wriggled out in all directions!
Within a second, those white distorting glows congregated onto the first summoning beast that was about to assault him!
A terrifyingly blinding light illuminated out! Seemingly attempting to cover the space between heaven and earth!
The eyes of all present were dazzled in white blindness. Then, a streak of slender and acute distorted lightning unexpectedly jolted out from the void of white, before bolting down!
This lightning bolt struck with such vast ferocity. Although different from the boundless majestic lightning from the sky, this lightning bolt instead offered a dazzling impression of unbeatable sharpness.
If nature's thunder and lightning was like gigantic hammers dropping from the sky and smashing down throughout horizons, attempting to vaporize all lifeforms and not leave even bones behind…..then, Aldaris's lightning bolt was an incredibly thin and sharp needle, piercing straight into the heart! Then, erupting and upsurging a tempestuous thunderstorm in the heart!

Chapter 707: Individual display of prowess
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Aldaris's lightning bolt streaked out and pierced deep into the summoned beast's heart and created a frying explosion! This attack completely ignored the beast's defence.
Crackle! A rich odour of charred flesh and blood pervaded out, as a layer of blood sprinkled against the surrounding walls. It was as though a heavy truck had sped through a muddy street, causing the mud to splash everywhere.
That summoned beast unleashed a sorrowful howl as its mouth widened to the extremity. With the heart as the nucleus, a huge chunk of its body had been vaporized. Such a scene was incomparably tragic!
"The feelers of Azrael coil around your body..."
(TL: Azrael (עזראל) is the angel of death in jewish mythology)
Aldaris's voice echoed continuously, as though it was a beam shooting through the universe and travelling for millions of years; seemingly carrying the legends of time and the mysteries of space! Upon hearing his voice, one would feel that it wasn't mere language but truth!
Unconditional truth, like the repetition of sunset and sunrise continuously!
"Positively charged Spirit lightning borne from my will, attach yourself to my enemy's soul!"
Following Aldaris's voice and the dissipation of his first lightning, a resplendent white aureole swiftly formed on the ground. Countless electric currents extended in all directions like tiny snakes. With astonishing speed, the currents bolted towards the distant Yuan Zhan in a flash!
Moreover, the electric currents could be seen rapidly converging towards Yuan Zhan!
This was Aldaris's true ability! 'Spirit Lightning'!
Concurrently, Aldaris's muttered incantation resounded with increasing grandness. Once again, an exceedingly blinding radiance exploded out from his body!
"Negatively charged Spirit Lightning borne from my strength, massacre my enemy's heart!"
Naturally, Yuan Zhan's summoned beasts weren't idling either. Within a split second, a strange crocodile like beast savagely chomped down onto Aldaris with its massive jaws, filled with sharp teeth.
Instead, a thin screen suddenly surfaced and protected Aldaris. Indeed, this was inevitably the ability that most mage type contestants would possess – 'MP-Guard'.
However, Aldaris's 'MP-Guard' was crystal clear and glistened with a tinge of faint bluish radiance.
When that crocodile beast chomped down, layers of ripples floated up from the screen guard; shining with myriads of solid sapphire like intersections. Even the deadly chomping ability of Yuan Zhan's summoned tier-4 or 5 legendary beast failed to chomp through it!
When Aldaris duelled Zi back in the Avatar World, Reef mentioned that his 'MP-Guard' had been raised to level 4. Yet from the looks of it now, how was Aldaris's ability only capped at level 4? Estimatedly, it would minimally be at level 7, or possibly, even as high as level 10!
Aldaris profoundly pointed forth. Lingering before his fingertip, the electric charges bolted out in a streak of ghastly lightning bolt; warping horizontally through the air like a dragon.
PA! With a crackle, it struck Yuan Zhan!
With a single strike, Yuan Zhan's expression instantly twisted. He grimaced widely as though wanting to release an agonizing scream, yet failing to squeeze out a single sound.
Moreover behind him, a faint reflection identical to Yuan Zhan could be seen. As for that reflection, the lightning bolt had shockingly blasted open an immense crack through it.
This destructive lightning bolt actually contained two types of damage; damage to the physical body and direct damage to the soul!
Yuan Zhan's defence was already relatively puny. After being electrocuted by this lightning bolt, his vision instantly darkened as acute pain terrorized his heart.
After a momentary paralysis, Yuan Zhan regained mobility of his body as he rolled backwards without hesitation while gasping heavily!
Yuan Zhan had already devised many retreating routes here. Upon tapping his shoulder gently, the ground beside him suddenly collapsed. Cement crumbled down as a passageway leading to the lower floor emerged.
To Yuan Zhan's horror, when he descended to the ground level, he discovered a barrage of warping positively charged electric snakes were bolting towards him!
In a heartbeat, they were about to adhere onto his body! As it turns out, once the positive and negative charges of spirit electricity linked up on his body, an incomparably devastating spirit lightning bolt would imminently strike down onto his head.
Instead, Yuan Zhan would rather suffer ten stabs than being zapped by that devastating spirit lightning! The pain of having one's soul electrocuted and fried wasn't something so easily bearable.
Thus, Yuan Zhan decisively activated an item. In a flash, a mirage of him divided from his body. Those positively charged electric snakes instantly adhered onto the mirage.
Boom! An immeasurably fatal spirit lightning bolted down and blinded his eyes!
After merely separating two metres away from Yuan Zhan, the spirit lightning bolt punctured Yuan Zhan's mirage with undefiable sharpness and utter vaporized it. Furthermore, the power contained in the lightning failed to disperse but bolted to a besiding ground floor vehicle.
Boom! The vehicle exploded with raging flames as metallic debris scattered around.
In the midst of churning black fumes, Yuan Zhan scurried out looking exceedingly pathetic. Though he managed to dodge the direct might of the spirit lightning, he was still affected by its aftershock.
To his extreme fright, those devastating positively charged electric snakes lingered on as they slithered towards Yuan Zhan from all four corners of the room.
It was at this moment, Yuan Zhan understood that he had underestimated Aldaris! The Aldaris who sneakily chose not to reveal his talents, yet when he finally exploded forth with full might, he brought along a despairing wave of terror with him.
That 'Spirit Lightning' ability was akin to the fetters of death. Not only could it devastate the flesh, it could viciously torment the soul. From the looks of it, presumably the only reason Aldaris hadn't exposed his true capabilities was this – all who had witnessed it, had already perished!
The dreadful positive charges of electric snakes encircled around Yuan Zhan, in preparation to usher in a terrifying bolt of spirit lightning.
This time, there was nowhere for Yuan Zhan to escape.
A thick white electric brilliance arrived, evoking a tempest of berserking energies that poured down onto Yuan Zhan's body. Even the ground erupted with clouds of dust!
Don't mention the formidable Yuan Zhan caught in the electric tempest. Even those few rats scuttling 5-6 metres away were paralyzed on the spot, their flesh, blood, moisture content and bones were completely fried by the ravenous lightning; dispersing as fine dust when the wind blew!
But on the contrary, it was as if nothing happened to Yuan Zhan. Instead, his face revealed a malevolent and venomous glare. In contrast, the few summoned beasts that were frenetically assailing Aldaris, unanimously roared with anguish; as though they just sustained tremendous injuries.
This was one of the newest abilities Yuan Zhan had obtained – 'Bioforce Aid'. It allowed his summoned beast to replace him and sustain all damages.
Nevertheless, this was a method akin to quenching thirst with poison. Firstly, the damage transferred to the summoned beasts wouldn't factor in their defences. Thus, how much the enemy's theoretical damage dealt, was how much the summoned beasts would endure.
Secondly, every time they received damage, the loyalty rate of the summoned beast would plunge by 1-3 points, and similarly reduce the maximum limit of loyalty rate! This indicated that no matter how hard one strived, the original relationship between the summoned beast and the summoner could never be restored.
Nevertheless, Yuan Zhan couldn't care less at this point. He started to chant a curse out loud. Before him, numerous black clouds fumigated out and morphed into a black formation array that was as glossy as a mirror lens.
Soon after, two deathly white giant skeletal arms emerged, and dragged out a furtive black door that was as tall as two humans combined. That black door resembled a vertically standing unlid coffin!
In the next second, multitudes of blood sucking bats flew out wildly and emitted piercing and bewildering jesting screeches. Like a rolling black cloud, they charged towards Aldaris.
Evidently, the current Yuan Zhan had realized Aldaris's biggest flaw – though his offensive were unbeatable, they were all single target strikes! As such, summoned creatures of sheer quantities would be his downfall!
These blood sucking bats had been painstakingly gathered by Yuan Zhan. At present when employing them on Aldaris, it implied that Yuan Zhan had unknowingly classified Aldaris amongst the same category of rivals like Zi.
In this instant, Aldaris's 'MP-Guard' had already been rapidly thinned out into nothingness by the summoned beasts.
A pack of insatiable blood suck bats were soaring towards him.
Even the terribly fragile life force of Yuan Zhan was linked with his few summoned beasts!
Without a doubt, Aldaris was facing a life or death crisis.Meanwhile, at the same time, Zi hadn't even battered a single eyelid over. On the contrary, she was unleashing fiercer assaults at Sable!
Her silver rapiers thrusted through the air as they faintly carried the furious bellows of gigantic beasts! Under the endless barrage of thrusting rapiers, Sable's vertebra long saber had completely lost its splendor.
Sable was, after all, a berserker type fighter whose offenses pale in comparison to his defenses. Being forced into such dire straits, he was completely battered and exhausted
All of a sudden, Zi converged both hands. The two breathtaking silver resplendent rapiers seemingly merged into one.
From the sky, a sudden flash came tearing down like lightning, irradiating the whole earth with matchless radiance, and precisely shone upon the merged silver rapier!
That merged silver rapier instantly shot out from Zi's hands. After rotating a round in the air, it pierced deep into the ground.
Instead, Sable instantly released a blood-curdling scream. One could notice that a tremendous irresistible force had gripped him; a boundless and incorporeal force was noiselessly pushing up his legs, rendering him utterly immobile as he was propelled into the sky.
Right at this instance, Zi's long robe fluttered as her silver rapier flew back into her grasp. Then, she soared towards the sky carrying thousands of billowing force beneath, before thrusting her silver rapier up and impaling Sable's underbelly! Ruthlessly pinning him further up towards the sky!

Chapter 708: Heart Storm
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Even a wild valiant warrior like Sable was completely incapable of resisting Zi's uppercut thrust. Silver rays incessantly swam around his body; like electric currents paralysing all his movements.
ZI's phoenix eyes brimmed with dreadful icy austerity, as she finally separated her hands. Such frosty charm was unprecedented, and exuded an unreplaceable and inviolable prestige.
Her hands once again gripped twin silver rapiers that emitted a brilliance that threatened to cauterize one's retina.
"Don't, Zi!!!!" In this instance, Sable begged wildly.
"I was forced to! On account of the days I fought for you!"
Although Sable pleaded wretchedly, Zi's countenance remained immeasurably detached. However, the swerving motion of her twin silver rapiers trembled a little and became slightly slower.
Out of nowhere, a gigantuous dragon head phantom appeared behind Zi. She pointed her left rapier upwards, which formed into the upper jaw of the gigantuous dragon phantom. On the other hand, her right rapier pointed downwards and formed the lower jaw of the dragon phantom!
Following that, a turbulent surge of silver dragon's breath rushed out from the depths of the gigantuous dragon phantom mouth!
Dragonforce Breath!
Nevertheless, Sable was still a veteran of a hundred battles. After seizing the opportunity of Zi's slight hesitation, he had forcibly positioned his vertebra long saber to block his front.
The surge of turbulent silver dragon breath blasted against the vertebra long saber. Instantly, the saber shaft heated fierily causing his skin to emit sizzling burns. Still, Sable refused to let go, as he was pressured down for 7-8 metres by the immense force until he smashed into the ground!
As the silver dragon breath blended with blood, an incomparably violent explosion erupted!
A massive muddy lotus bloomed instantaneously, as rocks and debris sprinkled down everywhere; causing a cluttered clamour of rustling sounds!
After a long while, Sable's figure finally reemerged from the mess.
His body was currently engulfed in thick black aura which stemmed from his black vertebra long saber. However, the price he paid was causing his malevolent and strange vertebra long saber to shrink by a third!
Originally, this saber was lofty and aloof, seemingly capable of sweeping through the heavens. Yet after shrinking, it appeared totally incongruous; seemingly just a work of art.
Evidently, Zi also expended much energy in unleashing that one blow.
Her long hair drifted with the wind. Her cheeks flushed with an abnormal red while her eyes flickered with merciless rancor.
As he twin silver rapiers interweaved, splashes of brilliant rays pulsated throughout the surrounding space.
Then, those rays formed into a ferocious dragon claw as it cleaved down upon Sable with matchless velocity!
Dragonforce Grip!
Presently, one could tell that after Zi had awakened the 'Dragonforce Bloodline', her close combat prowess had skyrocketed. Nevertheless, her true killing potential was still inclined mainly towards long range magic.
When that dragonforce claw materialized, Sable immediately felt a tremendous threat. He immediately howled out frantically.
"Yuan Zhan! Help me! If I die, you won't be better off!"
At present, Yuan Zhan had occupied an overwhelming superiority. Throughout this period, Aldaris had managed to release four bursts of 'Spirit Lightning'.
Even so, only two bursts had succeeded in striking Yuan Zhan, while the remaining two heavily wounded two of the summoned beasts.
Eventually, that same crocodile like summoned beast too a huge crunch on Aldaris with its magnificent set of sharp teeth. Piank! Aldaris's high level 'MP-Guard' was finally shattered, as sapphire like shards drifted into the air and vanished.
Aldaris braced his arm forward and bluntly endured the beast crocodile's munch. Though its munch carried unrivalled monstrous strength, the shattered 'MP-Guard' had already absorbed most of its force. Though that was so, it managed to tear out a mutilated mess through Aldaris's arm, as fresh blood gushed out; painting a lamentable ghastliness.
Yuan Zhan's eyes flickered with venomous intent. By now, the massive flock of blood sucking bats had encompassed almost every inch of Aldaris's line of sight, completely preventing him from escaping.
Yuan Zhan's initial scholarly demeanor had utterly disappeared. He clutched a charred wound that was burnt through his chest, and gritted his teeth while exclaiming.
"Go and die!"
It seemed as though he suffered tremendous difficulty to squeeze out those words from the gaps between his teeth! It was brimming with malicious intent!
However, in this very instant, Aldaris lifted his head up slightly and glanced at Yuan Zhan. His sweeping glance was as though a biting cold wind had breezed through, and carried a trace of mockery.
Yuan Zhan wasn't aware….but unbeknownst when, those tiny electric serpents on the ground had long vanished...
"Spirit Lightning directly attacks the weakest, the most bitter and sensitive aspect of a human….."
"Yet none is aware, the main ability of spirit lightning doesn't reside in damage but absorption! With every hit, it completely absorbs the pain my enemies suffer and feedbacks them to me, where I accumulate such anguish and pain that originates from the soul; storing them, conditioning them and condensing them!"
"Finally, unleashing a terrifying heart storm that sweeps through all!!!"
Within a single breath, Yuan Zhan's cloak fluttered up. In the empty space before him, a faint blue speckle appeared abruptly.
The speckle slowly expanded and intensified in brightness, and finally with a sonorous bang, it exploded into an electric blue network that covered the sky; encompassing over an entire square area of nearly hundred metres!
The electrical network that held life and death, sieved down over the whole area. Yet strangely, it didn't damage a single spot of the environment. Instead, whenever it touches a lifeform, vapor would steam up in excessive amounts and linger around the peripheries of all lifeforms, before erupting into streaks of unfathomable electric arcs!
Heart Storm!
This was Aldaris's genuine killer move – 'Heart Storm' !! An attack that ravages the heart of the enemy's spirit, one that negates all defenses! It was quite analogous to Sheyan's virus abilities, in terms of requiring special resistance capabilities to offset the damage or effect. Of course, its precedence level wasn't comparable to Sheyan's virus abilities.
As the blinding vast storm network descended, Yuan Zhan became momentarily lifeless. A searing pain mixed with terrorizing palpitation circulated through his entire body in an instance!!!!
Yuan Zhan's 'Bioforce Aid' ability hadn't attained a high level. Hence, his vitality was similarly shared with his summoned beast! This indicated whenever he activated the ability link, some of the damage dealt concurrently to the summoned beast would also reflect back to himself!
Of course, a chain repeated damage state wouldn't happen. For example, if Yuan Zhan got struck by a spirit lightning, which damage was reflected to the summoned beast, that reflected damage wouldn't reflect again to injure Yuan Zhan.
"Shit..."
Yuan Zhan strived to leave the boundary of this 'Heart Storm'. Yet though his mind commanded, his body couldn't listen and only submitted helplessly to the searing pain!!
As for Yuan Zhan's summoned beasts, they were similarly lifeforms caught up in this horrific 'Heart Storm'. They trembled and...within mere 2-3 seconds, several beasts were completely paralysed. Then, their bodies started disintegrating with numerous cracks like china porcelain.
Crash! Crash! Some exploded into innumerable fragments!
Yuan Zhan was miserably electrocuted into near-death state. Naturally, the summoned beasts sustained by his MP, also quickly vanished into thin air.
Only at that moment, did Aldaris clenched his right hand and terminated the raging 'Heart Storm'. Then, he stood up and sauntered towards Yuan Zhan! Aldaris's 'Mage-Nemesis' dagger flew back into his hand as the enemy was already plunged into near-death state.
"Traitorous scum, meet your demise." In a flash, Aldaris arrived before Yuan Zhan and straightforwardly placed his 'Mage-Nemesis' dagger across the lifeless Yuan Zhan's throat. With a gentle swipe, a spurt of red blood splattered out from Yuan Zhan's throat, before his head was decapitated from his body.
Blood spurted up like a fountain from a headless corpse, coupled with pulps of maroonish innards, as they bathed every corner of this building!
Yet soon after, Aldaris discovered that something was amiss. The headless corpse of Yuan Zhan remained unceasingly spurting out blood! The blood was continuously puddling up on the ground, even rising up above the back of his sole. In spite of that, Aldaris failed to receive a single notification of slaying from his nightmare imprint.
All of a sudden, the headless corpse of Yuan Zhan began twitched, and like a zombie, it proceeded to clutch its own neck.
Aldaris took in a deep breath and shut his eyes. Blood continued trickling, bit by bit, from his hand, following the outline of 'Mage-Nemesis' before dripping to the ground. The blood permeated into the ground and dissipated unknowingly.
"OLD FAT, is it you? Only you can put up such illusions that can deceive my visuals, thereby successfully rescuing the dying Yuan Zhan. Still, trying to obstruct me with just you?
A wall nearby Aldaris suddenly rippled. Unexpectedly, the red bricks of the wall started strangely shifting and arranging itself, before metamorphosing into an incredibly queer brickman. This brickman exhibited a mystifying clown like chuckle, before speaking callously with a hoarse voice.
"Psychological tactics won't work on me. Aldaris, you've truly hidden such magnificent prowess well. Alas, even a fool like Yuan Zhan can force out your most vital flaw! Your powerful abilities, perhaps 30% of them are executable only with the 'Mage-Nemesis'. You rely on the 'Mage-Nemesis' to provide you an endless supply of MP. But more crucially, your weapon acts as a focal point as well eh? Only by stabbing your foe with the 'Mage-Nemesis' can your electric charges swiftly locate their target!"

Chapter 709: Metropolis of Death
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Facing an opponent who was detailedly analysing him, Aldaris's pupils contracted slightly as he issued a cold smirk.
"So what?"
"Nothing really." Old Fat sinisterly inferred.
"Yuan Zhan has divulged that once stabbed by 'Mage-Nemesis', if one tries to pull it out of his own accord, 33% of one's health would be forcibly deducted! With such massive damage, a person stabbed by it normally wouldn't proactively try to pull the dagger out. However! I will recommend to Marissa that once she is stabbed by your dagger, she should pull it out at once. Because for a ridiculous property of shaving off one's health substantially just by pulling out a dagger, such a property definitely possesses a long cool down! Otherwise, many powerful storyline characters would've be slain by you long ago."
"Marissa..." an ominous premonition welled up in Aldaris's heart. "You and Marissa are actually teaming up to deal with me???? Then what about Zi?"
"You still have the time to worry about Zi? Don't worry! Though Zeus needs to pin down Skull and cannot be present, but this time, Fu Lyanna is personally acting to finish her off!"Meanwhile, this was when Zi had unleashed her 'Dragonforce Grip', and was about to viciously grip Sable's neck.
Yet out of the blue, a tiny black spot formed in front of Zi. That black spot then rapidly expanded into a fist sized black hole.
A dark red blood flew out from the hole, and swiftly stretched into different forms as though a pen was writing with blood ink. Ultimately, it formed into two words.
Danger! Escape!
Eventually, the blood fell to the ground. Instead of dissolving in, it remained congealed like a ruby.
Witnessing this scene, the exceptionally decisive Zi proceeded to ignore Sable, and immediately turned to flee. In a flash, she disappeared from Sable's line of sight.
Yet a hundred metre away, she was abruptly stalled by an invisible barrier.
"Is it the 'Chains of Corrosion'? You ultimately couldn't resist coming?
In this instant, a dense baleful aura emanated from Zi's countenance coupled with a jade like arrogance.
She bit her lips forcefully.
Without hesitation, she raised her pair of silver rapiers!
Raising them up high.
One could vividly observe. The pair of silver rapiers were ignited! Broiling with fiery silver radiance!
Putting it simply, Zi wasn't willing to waste her precious energy and strength here, and blatantly chose to combust the horcrux of her twin formidable weapons!
With this method, their might inevitably soared. Of course, the side effects was extremely obvious. A weapon that could ignite its horcrux would inevitably drop a grade from that. Yet most importantly, it held a definite chance of being destroyed!
A dazzling brilliance erupted from Zi's hands. Then, one could hear few miserable echoes from afar.
In a heartbeat, all of Zi's surroundings turned pitch black. Nevertheless, the obstructing invisible barrier became visible. It was unexpectedly lines of astronomical metallic chains. The total length of metallic chains interwove together could possibly stretch for millions of miles. The chains were coated with a bright shining luster.
Following that, Zi released a torrent of thrusts; chiselling of inches after inches of metallic fragments and finally opened a way out.
A way to live!
Zi's body blurred, and soon disappeared into the distant desert.The raging winds were screaming.
Zi gazed into the distant ruins, which were currently hailed as the 'Metropolis of Death'.
There was still ten kilometres before reaching the Metropolis of Death. In spite of that, intense waves of dreadful aura could already be felt sweeping against her skin; prompting the hairs on her skin to stand on end.
If it was a normal day, Zi absolutely wouldn't venture in. This was because even with her current prowess, it would still be exceedingly tough to ensure a safe retreat after entering.
Alas, she didn't have a choice.
The 'Chains of Corrosion' appeared once again; signifying that the Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna, was hot on her heels.
There was a massive contrast between this woman's malicious thoughts and her outward appearance. She harbored a twisted belief – Only by executing all females who were more beautiful and intelligent than her, could she become the most intelligent and beautiful!
Upon thinking of her, Zi spitefully curled her lips. In her eyes, the Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna, was a total loser. Regardless of personal strength or external allurement, Zi held overwhelming superiority over her.
Nevertheless, Fu Lyanna was now completely Zeus's woman. This meant that she definitely didn't come alone.
If she were facing Fu Lyanna alone, Zi held utmost confidence of suppressing her completely. Instead, with the addition of an assistant, Zi would inevitably be defeated.
Though nothing abnormal was occurring behind her yet, Zi remained exceedingly clear. Her pursuers were capable of closing the gap with frightening pace!
This was due to her deep understanding of Zeus. Once he acted, he was bound to make an all out effort!
Hence, Zi was fleeing towards the danger district of the dinosaur disaster zone without hesitation!
The Metropolis of Death!
To the haughty her, she'd rather die to the jaws of terrifying beasts, than allow the members of Glory Party to terminate her life!Two minutes elapsed since Zi passed by this area. Soon, a few bulky or skinny figures came rapidly racing through. After a temporary pause, they rushed off towards the direction Zi had fled in without a shred of hesitation.Half an hour later.
In a dark abandoned alley with her back leaning against a wall, Zi panted heavily.
Her hair was utterly disheveled.
In this short span of time, she had already encountered danger several times. Furthermore, this was merely the outskirts of the Metropolis of Death.
The most appalling part was, she felt as though an unknown deadly existence had locked onto herself!
The darkness of her surroundings felt richly palpable; as though weird objects were rummaging through the night.
All of a sudden, within the darkness, a tiny dinosaur, approximately the size of a german shepherd, smashed through a window and pounced forth. Its pounce appeared sloppy and ordinary. Instead, it was mysteriously fast; as fast as a streak of lightning!
Caught by surprise, Zi quickly dodged to the side, causing the tiny dinosaur to barely brush past her chest. Though that was so, an awful piercing odour assailed her nostrils.
Although the dinosaur missed its mark, it craftily refused to spin round. Instead, seizing the opportunity where its butt was still pointing at its prey, it whipped out with its bony poison tipped tail.
This mind blowingly random tail whip caught Zi completely off guard. She blocked her chest with both arms while staggering backwards with a muffled groan.
When that tiny dinosaur landed, it immediately swung round! Once again, it pounced towards Zi with a gaze beaming with insatiable hunger.
Zi's complexion was ghastly pale, as she clutched her injured chest wound with one hand. Then, lifting her other hand up, she firmly aimed her palm at the crafty pouncing beast!
An oppressive pressure was emitted amidst the darkness of night. Like a rushing gale that could stifle one's breath!
The winds were pushed aside, as a cold, silent and pressing firmness swept out.
Force Collision-Wall!
Although this 'Force Collision-Wall' was formless, when it collided into the pouncing dinosaur, it looked as though several tons of giant steel doors had swept through horizontally!
The unfortunate dinosaur was instantly knocked flying.
After a good long while, one could hear a distant landing 'plop' on the ground. Not a single panicky cry or bitter howl ensued. It was like a mushy bag; badly battered and smashed upon collision and crash landing. Under the oppressive pressure of the 'Force Collision-Wall', all its blood was squeezed out.
After all, this was still the periphery of the danger district of the dinosaur disaster zone. Though such hybrid dinosaurs exhibited terribly potent offensive capabilities, they would undoubtedly be lacking in vitality.
Zi's single powerful ability was absolutely sufficient to extinguish such puny lifeforms!
Zi squatted while leaning against the wall. While gasping heavily for air, she could felt a calmness; as though a heavy load had been offloaded.
Soon after, a bloody stench wafted in again, causing her face to turned as white as paper!
A piercing blood stench like this...was indeed the most effective indicator for those tyrannical monsters!
A short ten plus seconds later.
The ground faintly tremored. If one wasn't carefully paying attention, one definitely wouldn't feel it.
Yet following in its track, the second round of tremors were incomparably distinct.
The third tremor. Even the sandy soil polluting this ruins were jolted up and rustled to the ground.
Following that, a monstrous colossus could be seen stomping through the darkness with frightening pace!
This sensation was akin to a astronomical camouflaged military plane executing an emergency crash landing, directly landing on its plane bellet as it rushed forth with unstoppable inertia. A sensation brimming with no regard for the law of nature!
Thump! A thunderous stomp reverberated. The colossus stuck its head into a dilapidated house, and munched a tiny dinosaur; killing it instantly before swallowing it.
The sounds of gruesome chewing that caused one to shiver with fear.
Afterwards, the colossus sniffed with its water jar sized nostrils, before slowly swinging its head over.
A fishy odour blasted against one's face like a whirlwind.
Two triangular crimson eyes glared avariciously towards Zi's direction, even the droplets of saliva dripping onto the soil could be heard.
Meanwhile, the poison had started flaring up throughout Zi's body. She felt a numbness overcoming her body. Nevertheless, her heart beated with utmost clarity.
There was no longer a need to run. In truth, running was futile.
In this instance, her heart brimmed with tranquility.
A despairing tranquility.
Paralyzed where she sat, she decided to discard everything and revel in her memories.
In this instance, was reclining against a dirty but soft cushion. Beside her, was a budding lilac and a wooden board by her side resembled a broken chunk of her dressing table. Her previous dinner was a cod fish…...
The pestering winds blew against her face. Before the doorway of death, Zi could differentiate a sliver of flowery fragrance amongst the fishy blood stench.
Many familiar faces involuntarily surfaced in her mind, alongside the words she wished to say but didn't.
She felt that in the end, she ultimately couldn't defy fate.
"Come." Zi shut her eyes.
The Zi of this moment, was feeling unprecedented weakness, feeling unprecedented sorrow…..

Chapter 710: Crisp tasting texture
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Meanwhile, at the same time, a car was speeding into the outskirts of the Metropolis of Death.
This car appeared to be enshrouded with darkness. Barely noticeable headlights could be seen panning out, yet the human gaze couldn't see through them. It was like one's line of sight repelled away by force. If an ordinary human gazed at it for too long, a nauseating sensation would erupt.
The car abruptly braked and executed an exceptional drift. Huge military tyres blazed through the sandy patches of this desert outskirt.
After a queer silence of seconds until the sandy dust had settled, a serene electronic voice issued out.
"Its right here. Zi really is decisive. If she had hacked through Fu Lyanna's 'Chains of Corrosion' through normal means, an acute corrosive pollution would've plagued her and trace her for ten minutes. I didn't expect Zi to sacrifice her pair of Silver Storyline grade weapons without hesitation, igniting their horcrux just to avoid ten minutes of tracking!"
Another flooding voice resounded.
"But of course, don't forget that she is Zi after all! Must we elaborate more on her valiance? Did you see how pathetically beaten down Sable was? If we aren't careful, our boat may even capsize in a small gorge. Nonetheless, does she really think avoiding the pollution of the 'Chains of Corrosion' can prevent us from locating her? How naive!"
That serene voice then added.
"Aldaris's betrayal has caused Zeus to feel wary. Thus, he even dispatched Aziz over."
"Aziz? That Aziz? The one hailed as America's public enemy, that Aziz?" The tone of the flooding voice changed.
"Indeed. Zeus's logic is this – considering the remarkable heights of Zi's long range magic abilities, there ought to be one who can help suppress her in that respect."
The serene voice then continued.
"Actually, Aziz's goal is also to guard against a second Aldaris appearing. As the individual with the deadliest killing potential in our party, he can easily wipe out all other possible Aldaris! Set off! I don't wish to be labelled as a suspect for accepting Zi's salary. Especially for someone that holds an unshakable level of influence to Zeus."
"You sure we should enter? This is the Metropolis of Death! If Zeus was here, venturing wouldn't be an issue. But if we were to enter now, I'm afraid…..we'll encounter tremendous treacheries!"
"Fu Lyanna will soon arrive. Guess what will be in her mind if she sees us idling here?"
"...let's depart from here first! Screw this, we'll talk after making preparations! That place is home to those existences you know!"A blistering fishy breath rushed in.
Like a horrifying nightmare engulfing all life.
It seemed like a grade five earthquake was created, with every stomp this fast and monstrous colossus took.
Under the enticement of food, its pupils enlarged while its breathing and heart rate became hurried and brief...…..
"50 metres, 40 metres…..10 metres..."
Though Zi had shut her eyes; though she was tightly biting her lips; though her complexion was ghastly pale…..her delicate frame still shivered involuntarily.
When devoid of all strength, Zi was ultimately shed the shell of a strong capable woman. Besides, she was only a lady in her late twenties!
When facing death, especially the prospect of being chewed like a crispy popcorn by such a fearsome and deadly colossus, it was extremely normal for her mental state of mind to collapse.
Even the most valiant woman, was still a woman.
However, in this instant, she felt as though something massive just swept past her in the sky above.
This thing offered an incredibly peculiar yet recognizable sensation to her.
In the next second, that colossus abruptly released a supremely furious roar. Its tone was seemingly altered, as though something was blocking its mouth.
Like a tiny deviation causing a thousand mile difference, that colossus instantly smashed through the ruins right beside Zi; carrying a frightening fishy odour along!
Boom! The besiding four storey building directly received the rampaging collision of the colossus. The external walls and decorations shook violently, before the wall started fissuring apart as sediments and rocks tumbled down. The swaying continued and finally a majestic collapse resounded, carrying a puff of dust cloud soaring to the sky.
The colossus shook off the rubble on its head for ten seconds, before wrestling to stand back up from the wreckage.
It swiped its short claws ferociously around, as its body trembled with matchless violence. The reason for this, was obviously its scaling fury!
As it turns out, during the process of stampeding in, a clump of incredibly vile sticky goo was catapulted into its face!
This was no ordinary goo. Indeed, it came from the villainous 'Peluba 1,2 Chlorine Ethane Shock Rifle'.
Evidently, it was absolutely impossible to glue down such monstrous strength. Nevertheless! It wouldn't channel such brute force against its own head right.
The person who fired similarly harboured a distinct objective – not to capture it, but merely to disrupt its stampeding pattern.
A sudden flicker of hope was ignited within Zi's heart. Originally awaiting death with shut eyes, she couldn't tell how this colossus would randomly change its target.
Yet the truth was that, the colossus did missed its mark and spared her.
Zi gritted her teeth as she attempted to support herself up. Sadly, the venom pulsating in her chest wound was still obstinately clinging on and causing her to slump weakly.
Yet at this moment, a figure descended from above; appearing like it leapt down from a relatively high altitude.
Due to the darkness of night, she couldn't make up the figure's features clearly. Still, she could fathom the figure was thriving with vigor and strength.
After landing with a thump, the figure executed a front roll before scanning around. Then, the figure marched towards Zi.
Her body tightened up. She'd rather die in the mouth of the giant beast, than suffer endless torture in the hands of the Metals Professor!
Instead, she noticed the figure marching over with a seemingly nonchalant demeanor. The figure then halted before her, before unfolding both hands with utmost sincerity and offered.
"Sup lady Zi, you look like you can use some help."
"This voice..." For some reason, when Zi heard this familiar voice, her entire body calmed down. She immediately felt a complex mix of pain, numb and annoyance in the pit of her belly. In this instant, it was as though something had clogged up her throat.
Fortunately, she belonged to the class of women adept at restraining their emotions. After a brief pause, she feebly replied.
"You are…? Seaman?"
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders in response.
"Now is clearly not the time for an afternoon gossip tea session, lady Zi. For the sake of not becoming dessert for a certain creature...please, forgive my upcoming presumptuousness."
After concluding his statement, Sheyan immediate buried his body and charged forth. Like carrying a sackcloth bag, he directly lifted Zi and sped off with her on his shoulders!
Because, that damned monster behind them had already regained its senses, and was recklessly pursuing them after announcing with a ludicrous raging roar.
According to Sheyan's estimate, the strength of this colossus was minimally above tier-5. Furthermore, it was enhanced with bonus health points like those Elite Boss legendary creatures of the Avatar World!
If Zi was in perfect condition and there was no pursuing foes behind, Sheyan reckoned they could still make an attempt. As for now...the strategy could only be changed.
But at this moment...Shua! Shua! A searchlight beaming as bright as snow abruptly pervaded through the darkness, and shone resplendently onto the colossus!
A pair of immeasurably thick legs. Developed muscles that threatened to burst out from its epidermis. A towering height of nearly two storeys. A massive head and a crude and long gigantic tail!
It resembled a giant bulldozer wherever it passed. Such was its astonishing loftiness!
Indeed. A shockingly terrifying creature that stood atop the apex of the dinosaur food chain!
The Tyrannosaurs Rex!
The unlucky dinosaur was clearly dazzled by the searchlight. Originally stampeding in again, it suddenly made two rounds, before smashing into a dilapidated house by the side. Large amounts of dust adhered onto its gooey face, causing its vision to be additionally disrupted.
Concurrently, a delighted and slutty scream resounded from the source of the searchlight. A green skinned little lad was currently prancing around!
"Ohhh~ guys take a look what I've discovered!
While carrying Zi and laboriously sprinting away, Sheyan instantly felt stumped…...and yelled furiously.
"Heck! Jinkuang why are you here? Weren't you sleeping soundly in the room?"
Jinkuang completely ignored him. His body strangely blurred before directly teleporting by the side of the confused and disorientated Tyrannosaurus, before tightly wrapping his arms round…...one of the Tyrannosaurus' toe.
"Hey, I've caught it, but it's struggling with utmost ferocity! Let us slice its head off, we can eat the rest of the portions raw. Of course, if time permits, we can roast it into a sumptuous delicacy. How crispy the texture would taste, just like chicken drumlets. If we sell them off, it'll profit us some pennies."
"You freaking idiot!! Are you sleepwalking??!" Seeing Reef preparing to receive him, Sheyan urgently tossed Zi over to him. Then, he barrelled towards Jinkuang in spitting rage, who was still presently whimpering about cooking the Tyrannosaurus.
Upon hearing his master's furious bellow, Jinkuang seemed as though he finally awoken from his reverie and shook his head bewilderedly. Then, he immediately loosened his arms around the Tyrannosaurus' toe, and scratched his head.
"Oh woah what? Shouldn't I be sleeping atop my spotlessly white and cozy bedsheet? Could it be that the dinosaurs have aroused certain long lost memories? Oh! Revered Tyrannosaurus sir, please refrain from glaring at me with such eyes. You ought to upkeep your graceful demeanor, after all, I only calculated the pound value of your meat quality if sold in Yorkshire. Alright, alright, actually, I was helping you to examine if there's a paronychia infection...….ahhh!"
(TL: Paronychia is a nail disease, an infection around fingernails and toenails)

Chapter 711: Stand tall and fight!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The Tyrannosaurus fiercely spun round, as its bulky long tail bluntly smacked Jinkuang flying away. Struck flying into the darkness, Jinkuang randomly disappeared without uttering a single sound.
Possibly, the dinosaur cookbook didn't record goblins as an ingredient. Especially a stinky old goblin that didn't take baths for long periods of time.
Witnessing that scene, Sheyan heaved a long sigh of relief. Jinkuang that slut truly wouldn't spare him from worrying.
Consecutively, Sheyan came to a halt, because right now, the Tyrannosaurus was shockingly glaring at him with its savage crimson eyes. Following that, the Tyrannosaurus bared its razor sharp teeth, as a large pool of insatiable saliva dripped down from the gaps of its teeth.
Within a second, it buried its tremendous head forward and started stomping towards Sheyan; its stomping thousand catty weight reverberated out sounds of thunder!
"Come." Beholding a beast resembling a gigantic flesh mountain, Sheyan hung his head down. He didn't display a sense of despair but instead, issued with an exceedingly composed tone.
His voice rung with an iron will, but was also as passionate as blazing flames; a mix of fiery iron fortitude!
Besides, Sheyan possessed the 'Life-link' party skill. Moreover, due to his helmet's probing ability failing, he earnestly wished to test the formidability of such bosses in this danger district.
Only by obtaining first hand information, could Sheyan formulate the rest of his plans. Besides, his current main opponent was the domineering Glory Party!
The ground erupted with violent tremors. Clamorous sounds of random objects dropping, like utensils, could be vaguely heard from all besiding buildings.
As this supremely enraged Tyrannosaurus stomped in for impact, its massive weight rampantly resulted in mini earthquake aftershocks throughout the surrounding earth.
Under such a situation, the first notion that welled up in Sheyan's mind was undoubtedly to evade. He felt as though only a heavily fortified military truck could survive a direct impact from this colossus!
In spite of that, he quelled his urges and immediately guarded his front with both arms.
In contrast, the outcome of this collision completely lacked suspense. Sheyan was blown flying like a little pebble. He only felt his vision darkened as his entire body sailed 8 metres through the air. A rush of blood circulated towards his chest, but still, he managed to adjust himself in mid air and even land safely.
"Eh? ...not even 200 points of theoretical damage?" Sheyan endured the rush of blood to his chest, as he realized this fact to his astonishment.
This figure similarly caused Mogensha and Reef to feel great puzzlement.
If calculating in this manner, this core danger district didn't seem very frightening after all! At most, this Tyrannosaurus could only be compared with the legendary creatures that appeared in the first few beast horde waves of the Avatar world!
Speaking in this perspective, slaughtering a Tyrannosaurus was an extremely probable possibility.
In this instance, many notions flashed through Sheyan's mind.
Eventually, he still issued a command to retreat to Reef and Mogensha, while concurrently dodging the next ferocious charge of the Tyrannosaurus. Without needing to ask, this colossus crashed into another three storey house.
Only when Sheyan had rapidly sprinted 15 metres towards a surrounding alley, did the clumsy Tyrannosaurus shrugged its head and discovered this – its prey had successfully dodged its assault and was even swiftly escaping.
Aware that it head been thrown off, the Tyrannosaurus roared furiously. Like a giant tank, it rumbled towards Sheyan's fleeing direction.
Worn out over the years without maintenance, the concrete road couldn't withstand the stupendous weight of a charging Tyrannosaurus. Each stomp it made left a huge concave pit in its wake, as rocky sediments scattered haphazardly! Such a bearing was extremely intimidating!
Running with all his might, Sheyan soon felt something was amiss. His sprinting speed was already at maximum, yet the Tyrannosaurus behind could still keep up with himself. Moreover, it released an impression of not striving its best.
Placed in such a situation of vigorous exercise and extreme crisis, Sheyan remained usually composed. Nonetheless, he could basically confirm this – if he continued sprinting in a straight line, the Tyrannosaurus would scarcely need ten or so seconds to catch up.
"AK, AK, can you head over to that cluster of buildings ahead first? Right, the place that was previously a nightspot." Sheyan beckoned for his comrade.
Mogensha immediately and forthrightly answered.
"No problems."
Sheyan replied.
"I've encountered a slight problem. This big brute seems to be hiding its true might. Try stalling for some time with those two weapons that we've acquired."
A brief while later, Sheyan took an abrupt emergency turn, causing the closely pursuing dinosaur behind to chomp on dust.
Although this colossus was rather cautious, it couldn't stop itself from crashing and slipping due to its stupendous inertia. Instead, its fury heightened as it roared out with deep gloominess.
Seizing this opportunity, Mogensha triggered off. Yet regrettably, he soon transmitted an unfortunate piece of news to Sheyan.
"Boss, the Tyrannosaurus managed to block the goo of the 'Peluba 1,2 Shock Rifle' with its front claw. It seems like it has developed a certain wariness against it. Also, the 'Shamier Jolting Gun' shot has failed...not that the dinosaur is immune to it, but the weapon itself failed; indicating a lack in energy supply. Ah, looks like the weapons we purchased aren't that reliable."
Sheyan could only sigh when encountering such an outcome. He pondered a quickly replied.
"Hey, get Reef to scout out for any ghettos with short slum houses in the vicinity."
"Short slum houses like the ghettos…...boss, you thinking of that document eh?" Mogensha immediately inquired.
Prior to this, the trio recently discovered a corpse in a building. This corpse was probably related to a mission that the Skull Party was undertaking. Inside a safe deposit box, was this relevant document related to the Tyrannosaurus species.
"That document doesn't seem to be false. Anyway, it's worth the try, getting chased by this beast isn't a very pleasant affair. Oh right, unless you must, refrain from attacking it. I suspect this beast possesses some sort of insane berserking ability. Otherwise, this district wouldn't be hailed as the Metropolis of Death."
"Got it, boss, wait...Boss, Reef here. Take a left after passing through the supermarket ahead. Continue running for a kilometre and you'll reach the ghetto. Fortunately, this boy we're piloting possess night vision capabilities, otherwise, it'll really be hard to fulfill your request."
After receiving instructions from Reef, Sheyan immediately sprinted with all his might. He resembled a high speed fish bait, that was ingeniously luring a blood-thirsty shark behind to charge into the unknown.
"Run for another kilometre eh?" Sheyan calmly leapt over a crumbled wall. After crashing through a window and executing a frontward roll, he agilely scurried to the left. From the looks of it, the information detailed in that document was really beneficial. It was well worth the precious time sacrificed in making a stopover previously.
"You'll reach in at most half a minute!"
Sheyan could seemingly whiff the steamy and fishy stench of the tyrannosaurus behind.
He once again executed an accelerated, abrupt dive to the side. His abrupt movement completely caught the Tyrannosaurus off guard, where it once again collided into a neighboring building.
Without a doubt, this colossus once again employed brute force to demolish the building. With a smashing headbutt, the entire building swayed and collapsed thunderously.
Witnessing this scene, Sheyan knew he had won himself roughly thirty more seconds. His lips curled into a sneaky slight smile…..which froze almost instantaneously.
This was due to a dark shadow that suddenly hopped out from the building ahead. A shadow he absolutely didn't wish to see now!
It was unexpectedly a Deinonychus! The queer shape of its front claws clearly revealed its identity. Even in the darkness of night, it was as clear as a streetlamp!
Causing him to feel a cold shiver was, across this Deinonychus' symbolic large claws, a cold metallic glint shimmered through it. Without a doubt, this dinosaur's killing might far surpassed all other Deinonychus he had encountered previously!
If it was under normal circumstances, Sheyan would be treating this tier of dinosaur disdainfully beneath contempt. Yet right now, a bloody Tyrannosaurus was hot on his heels!
In a situation that every second matters, the appearance of this beast would truly be a fatal blow! Even worst, Sheyan was exceedingly clear that Deinonychus travels in a pack...
"Oi AK, I have a huge problem." Sheyan calmly announced to the party channel.
Mogensha and Reef were both instantly astounded as they asked. "What happened?"
While sprinting, Sheyan steadily answered.
"A big brat isn't willing to let me off behind, but tiny cockroaches are blocking the way ahead."
Mogensha urgently called out.
"Flying over now, we just left our initial vantage point. Shit, give us another ten seconds to reach you! Hold on, Boss!"
Sheyan took a deep breath and no longer replied. He knew his comrades wouldn't be of much help for this period. Still, his eyes momentarily combusted with passion.
"So, what else can I do?"
A phrase from that document instantly floated up into his heart.
A phrase brimming with brazen boldness for blood.
Stand tall and fight!
Hence, Sheyan didn't tarry, he didn't dare to tarry. While speeding along, he fiercely pulled out his weapon from his personal storage.
His fierce and outrageously unyielding long saber – '7 West' !

Chapter 712: Menacing fright
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The black shadow shifted. Moments later, the Deinonychus was pouncing through the air. Its incomparably incisive claws swiping ruthlessly for Sheyan.
Sheyan took a deep breath. The military camouflage shirt he was wearing wasn't well-fitting, ripping out 7-8 slits as his muscles swelled.
Sheyan jumped forth to meet his attacking. With both hands gripping his saber shaft, he hacked down with full strength!
Since there was no way out, he would slaughter a way out!
Blue melancholic glitters sparkled out.
A clean swipe!
Sheyan was supplemented with the momentous force of his charging sprint, causing his incoming saber to carry a faint whistling scream when hacking down; seemingly impressing an oppressive resonance throughout one's innards.
Though the Deinonychus' pouncing cleave carried deadly strength and speed, when it clashed head on with '7 West', sparks scattered as its claws were parried away by an unstoppable and domineering strength.
In this instance, the long saber blade slashed through the Deinonychus' chest to its belly. A ghastly ripping sound echoed out as the unfortunately dinosaur stumbled backwards. Puchi! Blood gushed out profusely from its chest to belly wound.
Of course, the dinosaur's parried claws managed to cleave Sheyan as well. Instead, he realized the dinosaur's claw was like a silvery pointed spear made up of pewter; worthless despite an attractive appearance.
Its claws appeared with acute stainless steel sharpness, yet the might it carried failed to live up to expectations.
After wounding his opponent, Sheyan landed with a frontward roll and continued sprinting away.
Still, the heavily wounded Deinonychus remained exceedingly relentless. After issuing an agonized grunt on the ground, it immediately swung back and lunged towards Sheyan.
Sensing the malicious intent of his fore, Sheyan immediately spun round and released a daunting horizontal slash!
When the Deinonychus' claws cleaved against Sheyan, Sheyan's terrifying slash simultaneously struck the Deinonychus!
The strength requirement of '7 West' was relatively demanding, and normally required wielding with two hands to exhibit its fullest threat. For a heavy weapon like this, it also required countless hard work and practice to tune one's proficiency in using it. Naturally, a fast swiping heavy saber carried immense inertia, causing the resultant destructiveness to be amplified.
When his saber blade chopped onto the Deinonychus' head, Sheyan even felt a sensation of pounding a walnut.
Once again, the heavily wounded Deinonychus issued a sorrowful screech, and tumbled to the ground while violently struggling. Blood spilled out from its mouth along with broken bone splinters and pulpy innards. Even a genetically modified Deinonychus couldn't withstand the heaviness of this saber chop.
Still, the Deinonychus glared at Sheyan with fiery, murderous intent. Obviously, physical pain wasn't that much of a big deal to it.
The Deinonychus only thirsted for one thing – to viciously chew the flesh of all visible prey, and enjoy the prey's refreshing blood. To let all lifeforms cower beneath its tyrannical brutality!
As compared to the other Deinonychus the trio encountered earlier, this one's fighting spirit and menacing exterior was several folds more impressive. If one described the current Deinonychus as a standard militant, the previously one could only be described as a reserve force.
Nevertheless, Sheyan didn't care about all these. He only desire was for this dinosaur to give way. Once he noticed an unobstructed opponent ahead, he immediately turned and raced off!
After nearly 200 metres of sprinting, he finally spectated the ghetto, filled with short slum houses, that Reef had mentioned earlier. The majority of houses here appeared to be short lasting constructs that would fail the minimum testing grade of buildings. Putting it bluntly, this was a shantytown normally located around the outskirts of cities.
Frankly speaking, Sheyan felt that the Tyrannosaurus wouldn't face any scruples in such a terrain. For a dinosaur of such a grand physical size, dashing through the streets of houses previously was akin to a human dashing through a dense forest; knocking against trees that could cause starry concussions.
For Sheyan, the difficulty of maneuvering through these tightly packed slum houses, definitely surpassed that of sprinting through the street houses. On the contrary, this place was like running in a patch of knee high grass to the Tyrannosaurus. Regardless of where it turned, such minor collisions wouldn't disorientate and confuse its mind!
"Darn it, could that document be lying? Should I enter?"
Sheyan hesitated briefly upon encountering such a situation. Instead, he immediately realized something exceedingly mystifying.
The frightening tremors reverberating throughout the ground, signalling the soon arrival of the death god, had oddly vanished!
This indicated one fact – the Tyrannosaurus had patted its buttocks and departed resentfully…...
"What the hell?" Finally abscised from this deadly pursuit, a tremendous suspicion floated up in Sheyan's heart.
"Could it be a virus outbreak? Ah, that isn't right too. According to earlier testing, the symptoms of my low ranked viruses are negligible to dinosaurs."
The more Sheyan contemplated, the more he felt the entire situation was fishy.
At present, not only wasn't feeling the joy of evading a calamity, he was instead feeling immeasurable chill as though his blood ran cold!
There was an extremely simple logic to this. One could imply its temperament and overbearing might just from its name, Tyrannosaurus.
To compel a dinosaur whose might ranked amongst the strongest of single unit overlords, much more a furious one at that, to retreat like an alarmed stray dog, what kind of fearsome existence must one be???
Sheyam recalled the words recorded in that document...
"Seems like I've misinterpreted something. The act of fleeing to the ghettos isn't to leverage the terrain, ah but rather...this vile environment very possibly houses a monster that even the Tyrannosaurus harbors restraining fear to!"
At this instant, a flustered Reef suddenly called out to the party channel.
"Boss?! Boss??! Can you hear me? Are you fine?"
Sheyan immediately felt a shudder in his heart as he replied.
"I'm fine."
Reef then exclaimed in a shaky voice.
"I-I...need reinforcement! I can't hold on for long!"
Sheyan was appalled. He knew the extreme pride Reef held in his heart, especially after he successfully promoted to a Growth-Hunter. Even back in the hidden world, his demeanor was always boldly guarding the front and fearlessly advancing. It was practically easier to kill him than for him to utter the words 'I can't hold on for long'.
"Where're you?! The crisis here has been absolved!'
"West side, that motel in the west, can you see it? The one with a semi collapsed signboard and three storeys." Reef huffed into the chat.
With a quick scan, he realized that place was coincidentally the route he mentally sketched previously. Just approximately 500 metres from this ghetto, right at the outer perimeter.
Reef's voice flowed intermittently into the chat.
"I was about to land and assist you...….screw off, taste my shield bitch...but when I just landed, these blasted freaks started besieging me. You must be careful!"
Sheyan's heart was immensely sullen. Evidently, those freaks pressurizing Reef into a breathless impasse, were the reasons for the Tyrannosaurus mysteriously departing.
Without a second word, Sheyan started charging towards Reef.
Thirty metres before reaching the motel, indescribably rays abruptly beamed out from the motel area! Those dazzling rays wildly refracted out like arrows, spears and thorns. Resembling a sun that was fissuring, the rays were scorchingly hot and cauterized through buildings in a heartbeat!
"Reef actually resorted to that move??" Sheyan's heart sank.
Evidently, this spectacular sight revealed that Reef just activated the ability of his dark gold grade shield – 'Scorching Radiance' !
Without an absolutely essential state of crisis, Reef definitely wouldn't unleash this ability.
Sheyan vehemently rushed forth. With his arms wrapped around his head, he rampantly smashed against the perimeter wall of the motel, that were worn out by years of non-repair.
As he rapidly scaled a degenerated flight of stairs to the third floor, he finally sighted a half-kneeling Reef who had fallen into near-death state.
Right now, 6-7 monsters were wildly ravaging him.
Borrowing the incandescent illumination of sporadic combusting embers, Sheyan instantly received a huge shock.
Those monsters that had reduced Reef to such a pathetic state within a short span of time, was shockingly a pack of Deinonychus! In fact, they appeared identical to that 'stronger edition' Deinonychus that Sheyan shrugged off previously!
"What's going on?" Sheyan hastily hurled a flask of curse-mix over, attempting to attract the attention to himself first.
Yet strangely, apart from the assaults from these pack of 'stronger edition' Deinonychus being exceptionally fast, they didn't contain much indomitable strength. Hence, Sheyan ingeniously lured the pack into a neighboring area, allowing Reef to utilize a health restoring medicine.
As Reef recovered from near-death state, he immediately howled out.
"Careful, their attacks are incredibly ridiculous! It's all true damages!"
Sheyan's heart shuddered and hastily investigated his battle log. Very quickly, a list of notifications popped out.
[ Mutated Deinonychus dealt 38 points of true damage to you. Your defence is negated….. ]
[ Your innate ability, 'Stronghold', conflicts with true damages...calculating… ]

Chapter 713: Submerging into night blindness
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Sheyan was finally enlightened upon browsing through those notifications. He became aware of this truth.
The truth of why Reef couldn't withstand these seemingly weak little pests.
The truth of why a tyrannical Tyrannosaurus would flee in panic.
This was clearly due to the perverse nature of these mutated pack of Deinonychus. Their attacks actually dished out true damages!
Moreover, their attack speed was incredibly astounding, and they travelled in a pack.
Utterly fearless, absolutely savage and capable of delivering true damages with exceptional precedence. Naturally, they were acclaimed as a nightmare existence to contestants or other primitive dinosaurs.
Yet to Sheyan who possessed an even more outrageous innate ability, these creatures remained mere high attack speed low damage creatures!
Thus, while this district was a hell to other creatures or humans, but to Sheyan, this was an invaluable paradise.
Speaking of true damages, Sheyan couldn't help but recall the Metals Professor.
The last time he saw her was when he was merely an ant, squashable at anytime. Despite so, he ingeniously leveraged on the true damages dealt by the 'Winged Keys' to kill her, and right now, yet another pack of deadly creatures who possess terrifying true damages surfaced...
"In view of that woman's queer mentality, the Metals Professor probably wants to murder Zi with her own hands. Most likely, there's an eighty percent chance of her being in this killing squad...Is it possible to devise a trap by leveraging on this?"
Mulling that over, Sheyan immediately harrumphed and shook his head. He quickly discarded this alluring idea.
After all, his current advantage laid in the Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna, not knowing about his existence in this world.
"Anyway, the current situation is pretty clear. Fu Lyanna and her group definitely wouldn't be reckless when dealing with Zi...thus, in this manner, with the heightened vigilance of my opponents, the chances of succeeding with schemes will be lowered."
At present, many queries arose in Sheyan's heart. For example, since the Metals Professor was revived, how was he able to continue preserving his secret of being an MT?
The only explanation he had so far, was a piece of intelligence he acquired through his military authority.
The intelligence detailed with great clarity – For resurrection abilities or items with the best effects, most of the time they required retrieving the deceased corpse, before using the ability or item on the corpse. In this respect, it preserved everything up till death perfectly.
As for horcrux type objects that deals with resurrecting a contestant that had died for a long while, it required reconstructing a body from scratch. Yet concurrently, some memories may be lost in the process.
In addition to reports he gained, Sheyan was aware that Fu Lyanna's resurrection rite wasn't perfect, but merely achieved a 90% completion.
Most vitally, she died as a result of 'Winged Keys' chiselling away at her flesh and bones. The agony and trauma she suffered was surely unthinkable.
A normal person definitely wouldn't want to recall such trauma. As for Fu Lyanna, there may be a possibility of her losing that fragment of agonizing memory right before her death.
At this moment, Sheyan launched forward and slashed up onto a mutated Deinonychus, while completely disregarding the assaults from the other three mutated Deinonychus.
Right before that mutated Deinonychus crashed to the ground, fiery streaks abruptly shuttled in from a neighboring building. Three bullets accurately pierced into that mutated Deinonychus' head, before erupting with mini explosions; sending it tumbling away and harvesting its life.
Mogensha had arrived in the nick of time.
Consecutively, a diabolical looking viperwolf stealthily appeared. Even before the summoning array beneath it faded, the viperwolf was already pouncing towards the nearest Deinonychus with brandishing fangs. Soon after, it perished with a sorrowful howl, but nonetheless, managed to dish out some damage before perishing.
With Sheyan tanking the front and Mogensha aiding from afar, the few Deinonychus were exterminated in due time. It appears that these beasts whose offensive potency and speed were widely amplified, were nerfed in terms of vitality and defensive capabilities.
Nevertheless, this was only to be expected. Besides, these brats boasted of rapid attack speed and horrifying true damages. Moreover, they were fearless and travelled in packs. If they could also take a beating, then the name of this world should be altered to 'Deinonychus' Catastrophe'.
Reef casted a glance at Sheyan before sighing while shaking his head. Evidently, he felt utterly speechless towards the incredible impregnable precedence of Sheyan's innate ability.
After the trio cleaned up the battlefield, they discovered, to their puzzlement, that the drop rate of these mutated Deinonychus was frighteningly low. They actually didn't acquire much benefits!
After all, this wasn't a hidden world, which meant that it should follow the law of high risk high returns.
Even a lofty Growth-Hunter MT like Reef couldn't withstand the ravaging pack of mutated Deinonychus for long periods. Therefore to the majority of other contestants, the risk of hunting these mutated Deinonychus would be exceedingly daunting. This also meant that if these creatures dropped something, that something would be remarkable!
Naturally, the trio unanimously came to that conclusion. Their eyes emitted an ecstatic glint. Instead, Sheyan quickly shook his head and brought to attention one issue.
"We should hastily depart. Because of Reef's ability, this motel is akin to an ignited torch; an extremely clear landmark in the dark. There are enemies pursuing Zi, we'll leave the questions for when we are safe."
Hence, the trio quickly ascended to a nearby rooftop. Right there, was a floating dark brown lifeform that appeared like a grand jellyfish. Obviously, this was an arachnid Overlord that Sheyan procured from the Avatar World!
The arachnid Overlord egg he purchased was equipped with aerial and transportation capabilities right after incubation. Logically speaking, this Overlord was extremely usable but was unexpectedly prohibited or somewhat restricted in various worlds. Like for this world, once aerial dinosaurs like the Pterosaur notices an arachnid Overlord, they would feel an inevitable threat towards an alien lifeform, thus prompting them to assail the Overlord.
Alas, an arachnid Overlord didn't possess any retaliating capability! This signified that the arachnid Overlord was actually pretty much useless…...
Nevertheless, Sheyan cleverly found a loophole! He previously learned of this information regarding the majority of bird species, that most had night blindness. That's why many chinese doctors in the real world hail individuals with night blindness as bird eye.
(TL: 雀盲 (literal: bird eye) means night blindness )
Thus, Sheyan decided to try it out, and incubated an arachnid Overlord egg in the dark of night. After allowing the Overlord to circulate for several rounds in the air, though such a motion startled some Pterosaur like creatures, those aerial dinosaurs merely issued annoyed caws and offered no hints of leaving their nests.
Following that, the trio's affair was greatly simplified. Thus, their flight in a noiseless flying tool was truly immensely difficult to detect.
As for the satellite network system, it focused on metallic aerial constructs artificially constructed by humans. Either that, or surveying the activities of extensive clans of Pterosaurs. It was obviously impossible to pinpoint a lone insignificant arachnid Overlord.
Hence, the trio was able to exploit flying through high altitudes to tail Zi, and eventually managed to rescue her in the nick of time...actually according to Sheyan, sending charcoal in the snowy weather was the most effective way of inducing gratefulness in an individual.
Thus, the four contestants rode the arachnid Overlord and sneakily departed from the motel's illuminated area.
After flying for four kilometres, Sheyan then willed the arachnid Overlord to descend.
The arachnid Overlord finally halted on the roof of a six storeys building. There was a crumbled opening on this roof, which would allow Sheyan to easily conceal the arachnid Overlord in the fifth storey after daylight dawned.
Noteworthily, this building was located at the opposite end, with the whole stretch of aforementioned ghetto separating the motel and this place. This place should still be within the active proximity of those mutated Deinonychus.
Right now, gazing afar towards the opposite end, they could distinctly see the incandescent flicker of the motel.
Evidently, Sheyan was employing a pretty discernible scheme. If Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna, and her group boasted sufficiently plenty manpower, they would undoubtedly rush to the scene.
When that happens, Sheyan could possibly observe his enemies' battle strengths and style.
Of course, if they didn't appear, Sheyan could save the trouble and settle his administrative issues.
RIght now, Zi was completely unconscious. After she recovers, a supreme card would be added to his hand. At least, she would substantially make up for the deficiency in damage output.
At present, the building they were residing in was extremely worn out, and could be hailed as a decrepit house. It was most likely an office building in the past.
After many years of torture, the flight of stairs from the first to third floor was incomparably worn out. Hence, Sheyan blatantly destroyed the flight of stairs, thereby cutting off any possibility of Deinonychus disturbance. For land mobile creatures like them, they definitely couldn't leap over roofs and vault over walls.
Following that, the trio propped up a large tent in a conference room. This toy was a high grade item that purchased back in the Mattrine district, and was specially supplied for hunting squads.
The tent was effective in intercepting scent and isolating various kinds of light. It could guarantee that camping outdoors wouldn't incur the wrath of any dinosaur.
Sheyan carried the unconscious Zi out from the belly of the Overlord and into the tent. Next, he hurriedly confirmed that her life wasn't in danger. Only, the poison polluting her chest would remained unceasingly potent.
After affirming the source of her ailment, then naturally the treatment followed. After all, the trio had stockpiled a relative abundance of medicines. Frankly speaking, some of the medicines were traded to them from Zi previously. Utilizing them on their original owner now, created a rather ironic sensation.

Chapter 714: That grain of amber
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
After treating the wounds on Zi's body, Brother Black ended the treatment with injecting an antitoxin serum.
With the aid of medicines and her digitally enhanced body, Zi's condition rapidly stabilized and her health steadily climbed back up. Her hurried breathing soon calmed down, as she was lifted from an unconscious state to a drowsy state...
Zi awoke to the fragrance of food.
Having endured arduous battles for so long and falling unconscious for roughly eight hours, Zi had surpassed the stage of hunger long ago.
Smelling the aroma of oatmeal congee and the smoky fragrance of sizzling roast meat, her appetite was naturally aroused from the depths of her heart; dispelling away all lethargy.
Though that was so, at the instance of regaining consciousness, Zi's first reaction was to reach for her weapon before transiting into an offensive seated stance...
Proceeding from there, she noticed the odd gazes from two males not too far away.
An awkward silence lingered in the atmosphere.
Reef coughed and started with a probing tone.
"Zi, you're awake. You alright?"
Zi's befuddled gaze gradually turned increasingly clear. Her eyes then exhibited a sorrowful glint as she nodded silently.
"Mn I am fine. Reef, was it you who rescued me? Where are we now?"
"The Metropolis of Death." Reef solemnly replied. "Don't worry, we're extremely safe for now, come have a bite."
Zi nodded and filled for herself a bowl of oatmeal congee. She then couldn't resist the urge to ask.
"How did you guys get here?"
Mogensha chewed a chunk of roast meat and answered.
"It was Demondream who issued a message to boss...activating a 'Space-time Wormhole' to transfer us here."
"Demondream..." Zi involuntarily shut her eyes as her head drooped down before muttering. "I didn't know, I figured that item was taken by Sable, but the 'Space-time Wormhole' actually landed in her hands!"
"Hoh, AK, you seem to have omitted something." A voice interrupted from outside the tent. Soon after, Sheyan pushed through the tent curtains and strolled in, before offering a chuckle to Zi.
"Demondream entrusted us with her last words to you – her feelings for you have never changed since the beginning..."
Upon hearing that, Reef and Mogensha both simultaneously revealed a wry expression, as they exchanged deep meaningful glances.
Zi blushed slightly before casting an incisive glare at Sheyan. Still, she buried her head and continued drinking the congee.
Sheyan chuckled and continued.
"Well, I have to respect the dying wishes of the dead. Oh right, from my surveillance, a reconnoiter from Glory Party has finished scouting out the motel we were at yesterday. I reckon, the Metals Professor would be leading a huge group over soon. Therefore, Zi, tell us about your main mission, our time is tight."
Zi lifted her head. Her twin phoenix eyes brimmed with awe-inspiring murderous intent as she stared at Sheyan.
"What's that supposed to mean? Since Fu Lyanna is here, I cannot allow her to leave alive. This Metropolis of Death shall be her burial site!"
Sheyan glanced at Zi and earnestly chided.
"My apologies, female warrior. We only accepted Demondream's plea to rescue you. That doesn't include tangling up with the Glory Party; which is a madman's move! Regrettably, Demondream's remuneration isn't worth the risk."
"Rescue me? Then if you watch with folded arms and I die while fighting Fu Lynna, your efforts would be for naught right?" Zi casted a cold smirk.
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Well, go ahead and die then, but us three insist on cherishing our lives. As such, if you persist in acting alone and disregard our arrangements, I swear by Reef's reputation, we will stand idly by the side."
The stunned Reef defended himself.
"Why swear on my reputation?"
"Good...good…...you're good!" Zi clenched her teeth in response. Still, her demeanor didn't release an impression of sinister evil. Instead, she frowned with a natural charm despite the pangs of her heart. She then stood up with a stamp, and exited the tent.
Brother Black and Reef were momentarily stumped.
"Boss..."
Instead, Sheyan confidently replied.
"Relax, she will be back. Putting up a valiant struggle as a lone army and not giving up yesterday, I'd assume, all the more she wouldn't throw away her life in vain now."
After speaking, Sheyan scooped himself another bowl of oatmeal congee. Then, he created a sandwich by wrapping a roast meat with salad leaves, before taking a fierce munch and following it up with a spoon of oatmeal congee. The rich sweetness of oats and the smoky fragrance permeated his tastebuds, followed by warm congee flowing down his throat; prompting him to release an indulgent sigh.
Merely three minutes later, the tent curtains were pushed open again. An austere looking Zi barged in and prepared another bowl of congee for herself by the fire stove. After slowly finishing the bowl of congee, she abruptly broke the silence.
"If I haven't remembered wrongly, you were the main reason the Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna, died right?"
Sheyan nodded. His tone was muffled as he attempted to chew a self-made hamburger.
"Yeah, oh, you ought to add a Mister Fanu on the list of victims. I wonder if he was revived as well?"
"No, otherwise, Yuan Zhan wouldn't betray me so easily. If Fanu was still present, it would be impossible for Yuan Zhan to become a core member."
"I'm sorry but my Illume-union has channeled much of its resources to Yuan Zhan. I don't have much utility points left, and I can't produce any equipments to allure you."
"But, my Illume-union is a level 8 high prestige party. My party's passive skill is relatively outstanding – increasing explosive strike rate by 3% and an instant restore of 20% HP upon entering near-death state. Moreover, the active skill is absorbing 15% MP from a target instantaneously! As long as you agree to assist me, I am willing to have over the party leadership to you! With this party, you can swiftly expand your strength and deal with Glory Party's impending campaign!"
Sheyan continued chewing on his hamburger and casted an innocent stare at Zi for three seconds. Then, he bluntly replied.
"Oh! I guess there's a difference in our thinking...Zi, up till now, I've always been rather contented with this party. I have no plans to abandon it."
"You..." Zi was truly infuriated as she casted a murderous glare across!
"Stop being so demanding!! Reef! Is this your idea?! State whatever conditions you have, stop using this fella to spew crap around me!"
Reef exhibited an exceptionally innocent gaze towards Zi and sighed.
"Zi...my apologies. Ever since my party was annihilated, Seaman has always been my boss."
Even the usually cool Zi couldn't help but lose her chill.
"What did you say?"
Mogensha lighted a cigar for himself and took a fierce puff before speaking.
"Excellent Zi, I feel my boss isn't hinting at anything. Hmm, the Illume-union is indeed a party of high prestige and level, a formidable party to say the least. But speaking from my heart, it can't be compared in the same league as our party."
Zi was utterly dumbfounded as she muttered to herself.
"How's that possible? How can that be? Even Zeus's Glory Party pales in comparison to my Illume-union in prestige!"
Reef sighed and replied.
"Sometimes, high levels doesn't mean everything. Just like how it is impossible to compare most rank 1 abilities with a rank 8 ability."
Upon hearing Reef's words, Zi murmured with disbelief.
"Could it be you guys..."
"Silver Prestige party." Brother Black no longer beat around the bush. He directly displayed the party's properties.
Zi was momentarily speechless after browsing through, before finally heaving a deep sigh and inquired.
"Then why are you guys just a three man team? I know your team possesses an MT, a support, and with such valiant party attributes, expanding shouldn't be too tough ain't it?"
Sheyan laughed and replied.
"Firstly, a tall tree attracts the most wind. Secondly, I don't wish to see unstable elements appearing in my party. Thirdly, and the most important point, with my current prowess, if I recklessly expand, I cannot guarantee my leadership position wouldn't be challenged."
Zi shook her head, and quickly voiced out her reasons for rapidly expanding a party. It was totally inharmonious with Sheyan's ideologies.
An awkward atmosphere soon ensued.
After pondering a little, Sheyan then earnestly spoke.
"Although there are many differences between us, there's a phrase that suits this situation – to seek common ground while holding back the differences. Regardless, we need to cooperate now, you cannot deny this right, Zi? So, you need to tell us about your main mission."
Zi took a deep breath. After a brief pause, she began.
"Prior to this, we had already affected the storyline of this world severely. Thus, upon entering this world, we received a relatively arduous main mission. A mission that splits into two phases. The first phase required us to extract five different dinosaur genes. After accomplishing this phase of mission, we can return to the nightmare realm, but there will be neither rewards nor punishments. As for the second phase of the main mission, it posed an extremely difficult task – I need to find a grain of amber."
"A grain of amber?" Brother Black curiously asked. "What does dinosaurs have to do with amber?"
Sheyan's brows furrowed as he asked.
"Perhaps, it's that grain of amber?"
Zi coldly casted a glance at Sheyan.
"Correct, that grain of amber, the grain of amber that gave birth to everything! The grain of amber with that mosquito! That mosquito whose belly contained the first hand information of the genetic code of dinosaurs, that was extracted by scientists! Without that grain of amber, everything you see now would be just a mirage! Impossible!"

Chapter 715: The one caught in the middle…….
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Presented with her main mission, Sheyan massaged his temples while contemplating. Then, he lifted his head and inquired.
"So, there should be some hints for your mission eh?"
Zi sat down in a meditative position on a cushion. She shut her eyes, and created her rhombus mana crystals that revolved around her. Concurrently, she unenthusiastically explained.
"Currently, my mission has advanced to the middle stages. I need to track down the inheritor of the Chedeliarchos Financial Group, Chedeliarchos Skoa. He knows about the amber, and according to certain intelligence, the grain of amber has fallen into the hands of that tremendous multinational financial group."
"The defenses of this financial groups is extremely frightening, and vastly surpasses our imaginations. If by the conventional way, only a party of Awakeners is capable of contending against them."
When Sheyan heard the two key words, 'financial group' and 'inheritor', a peculiar feeling welled up in his heart.
"Do do you know the outward appearance of this Chedeliarchos Skoa? Perhaps certain rough features?"
Zi shot an astonished look at him and answered.
"Of course, the boy's only nineteen, blonde hair..."
Sheyan then interrupted without a shred of cordiality. He very rudely continued her statement.
"...he is approximately 175 centimetres tall, likes to wear Davide Cenci shirts, wears a Patek Philippe watch, has diamond studs as earrings, and adorns an incredibly rare ruby ring."
Amazed, Zi asked.
"How did you know that? Could it be you've seen that man?"
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders. Instead, Mogensha sighed and answered.
"Roughly 16 hours ago, we came across his corpse...before you divulged about the significance of this unlucky child, we had always been naively thinking; the greatest benefit gained from him is a document about Tyrannosaurus."
"Now there's massive trouble." Sheyan sighed. "Zi, what's the punishment for main mission failure?"
Zi vacantly replied.
"A penalty of 50,000 utility points and the decrease of all attributes by 20%."
Sheyan then issued a distinct sigh of relief.
"That's fine, at least it isn't being expunged."
Zi curiously inquired.
"What do you mean?"
Sheyan replied.
"According to my understanding, there's another strange party that has entered this world; killing their members would earn us achievement points. That party known as the Skull Party, is similarly pursuing…...clues about this Mister Chedeliarchos Skoa. Man, his name is truly hard to pronounce. So therefore, Zi, your mission is a competition!"
"This mission will most probably result in a bumper harvest, especially in terms of achievement points, however...I reckon you best mentally prepare yourself to face the penalty of 50,000 utility points and the decrease of 20% of all attributes!"
Zi's gaze darkened, feeling as though she was experiencing the worst headache of her life.
"Seaman?!!! Is this how you are going to treat Demondream's entrustment?!"
Sheyan spoke without a hint of guilt.
"Zi, you need to consider in my perspective. We've already incurred the wrath of a ruthless tiger like the Glory Party. Yet upon just entering this world, we very unfortunately killed off members of the Skull Party. Furthermore, I reckon two of them even possessed pretty substantial status in their party. This goes to say….there's a possibility of being caught in a pincer attack from both sides! Being a third party is already such a nerve wracking affair, and even worst, is to be the one caught in the middle..."
Zi widened her mouth in rejection, but ultimately kept silent. The usually emphatic Zi when facing the trio, felt like she was caught in a quagmire; a sullen sensation of having both limbs tied up.
All of a sudden, a sonorous sound erupted from the far distance!
The senses of the four contestants simultaneously jolted! They quickly rushed out of the tent. Zi was still rather confused, but the trio were exceedingly clear. The source of that sonorous sound, was shockingly that motel they were in the previous night!
Actually, this was the monitoring ploy that Sheyan had arranged even before leaving. To prevent the naked eye from attracting the notifications of certain exceptionally high perceptive sense individuals, Sheyan had installed five surveillance cameras nearby the area, thus channeling a delayed video playback at their area.
This was a method Sheyan had investigated with his military authority. It was definitely the optimal concealment method to spectate distant battles. With this method, the chances of being discovered would be lowered by 25%.
A screen was displayed. Several individuals were presently locked in intense combat with a pack of mutated Deinonychus.
Honestly speaking, when viewing those incomparably savage mutated Deinonychus, Reef couldn't help but stroke his body. The feeling of those ravenous razor claws scraping away crazily at his body, ripping out flesh and blood, was truly a mentally crumbling process.
As Zi observed the battle and those odd looking Deinonychus, she couldn't help but intriguingly ask.
"Are those Shadowdrill Deinonychus?"
The trio unanimously casted puzzled expressions to her. After pondering slightly, she replied.
"The dawn of the dinosaur catastrophe was extremely abrupt and violent. At the initial stages, it spread with astounding pace, leading to destruction and leakage at three nuclear power plants. During this process, some of the dinosaurs perished while others survived."
"Mutations plagued the ones that survived, causing them to transform with greater ferocity and brutality. The Shadowdrill Deinonychus is one of those mutated dinosaurs. When they attack, their claws resemble black drills; thrusting with terrifying true damages...most critically, they present a tiny drop rate of damage type weapons, forging materials, precious gems and so on. I don't have to elaborate much on the value of those objects right. Even a dark blue grade of those rare drops, may not be inferior to dark gold grade!"
Sheyan paused for a short while. His eyes sparkled as he spoke.
"Thus, you're implying that those contestants definitely aren't willing to abandon this place?"
"Yes." Zi icily answered. "But I know you won't seize this opportunity to act. Because with the existence of those Shadowdrill Deinonychus and those individuals, your current prowess definitely isn't sufficient."
Sheyan chose to remain silent, but focused his attention onto a single individual on screen.
This was a robust and muscular male, whose muscles appeared to be bursting out of his armour.
That male wielded a warhammer as his weapon and was coated in full maroon. Still, it radiated with metallic texture and appeared extremely domineering. Dense patterns were carved along the surface of the warhammer, as though it was a mystery originating from primitive chaos eras. The hammer head and body of this warhammer was completely forged in metal, and one could simply imagine its weight to be approaching half a ton.
Evidently, it one wasn't a Growth-Hunter, it would be exceedingly hard to utilize this weapon.
"What is that weapon he's using?" Sheyan abruptly blurted out. "Why is it maroon colored?"
Zi casted a glance at Sheyan and indifferently answered.
"That's a Blood Weapon."
Sheyan then noticed Zi smirking, before courteously inquiring.
"Then, what's a Blood Weapon?"
In this instance, Zi felt as though she had fallen onto a spiderweb; a sensation incapable of absolving.
She clearly loathed this Seaman guy, and didn't wish to converse with him. Yet this brat was like a sticky candy attaching himself to her. She didn't even have the mood to flare up but only replied in annoyance.
"A Blood Weapon is a weapon that can be exchanged only when a contestant reaches a certain military rank. Also, spending a massive load of utility points and potential points is also needed. Of course, and mainly achievement points. When dealing with storyline characters, this weapon can only be counted as a silver storyline grade, but a dark-gold grade when dealing with contestants! Because, many of the properties imbued in a Blood Weapon, is targeted towards contestants; being only effective in a PVP scenario with contestants."
"So that fellow must definitely be favoured by Zeus eh? He is definitely an expert in dealing with contestants, prompting Zeus to assist him in acquiring a Blood Weapon." Sheyan mused to himself.
By now, Zi had subconsciously classified Sheyan as helpless and directly continued.
"His name is Tolui Helenite, a confidante of Zeus."
Sheyan seriously observed Tolui in action.
A Shadowdrill Deinonychus pounced towards Tolui, cleaving open a blood dripping wound across his arm. Instead, Tolui immediately swung his warhammer horizontally.
PA! He directly smashed the Shadowdrill Deinonychus flying with blood spurting, as it knocked and bounced off a wall behind.
As for Tolui Helenite, he didn't raise his warhammer up. Instead, after his warhammer swept through, his utilized its position to thrust forward with the sharp rear spike of the warhammer!
This thrust landed straight onto the Shadowdrill Deinonychus' head. After being smashed by the warhammer, this mutated Deinonychus was already like a caved in pulp. With the addition of a powerful and venomous warhammer rear spike, it screeched in anguish before internal organs came spilling out.
Concurrently, Tolui Helenite had started spinning!
He continued holding onto that semi-ton steel alloy warhammer! He spun with an agile and graceful demeanor, while simultaneously carrying a strong pressurizing oppression. The winds churned out by the swerving warhammer released a suffocating sensation to all!
As the whirling winds raged on, chill, silent and oppressive deadly firmness emerged!!!
Soon, the unlucky Shadowdrill Deinonychus was hammered flying.
After a good long while, a landing 'thump' echoed in from afar without a single groan or agonizing roar. Only, a mushy bag could be seen. While it was previously struck flying, it collided into two other comrades.
After unceasingly unleashing such violent hammering assaults, Tolui Helenite had swiftly obliterated the poor dinosaur!

Chapter 716: Forewarned is forearmed
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Ah, what…...a gallant dude!" Sheyan muttered to himself after spectating Tuloi Helenite.
After clashing with the Shadowdrill Deinonychus yesterday, he was extremely clear on the HP of those dinosaurs. Although those dinosaurs were lacking in vitality and defence, they were still creatures that lived in such vile environments. Regardless, they definitely weren't as weak as nothing!
However, this Tolui Helenite actually needed only three moves to slay a single healthy Shadowdrill Deinonychus!
This signified that of those three moves, one of them was an incredibly special and formidable ability. With how deadly it was when executing a Shadowdrill Deinonychus, what sort of horrors would a Blood Weapon, specifically made for battling contestants, deliver to a contestant? Possibly, a low health points individual like Brother Black would tragically meet his demise, within mere seconds of getting close to that Blood Weapon.
The more Zi beheld Sheyan's countenance, the more she felt unpleasantness in her eyes. The always cold and conceited her couldn't resist the urge to taunt.
"Why? Finally afraid? That guy even possesses an outrageously powerful surprise attack ability, which grants him a 700% boost when pouncing at a target! When a battle breaks out, you may think he is approaching from afar, yet within a second, he can activate that ability and pounce straight into your face for a surprise assault...Oi!! I'm haven't finished my statement"
As it turns out, while Zi was still speaking, Sheyan blatantly walked off and started a secret heated discussion with Reef.
At present, Zi felt as though she hadn't been so gloomy and frustrated before. She couldn't help but feel a baffling jittery towards this Seaman. Whenever she tried to ignore him, he would always pass off a statement that she felt obliged to answer. Whenever she wanted an answer, this brat would seemingly be entranced in his own thoughts...
Meanwhile, Mogensha was spectating the chaotic battle with an excited and bloodthirsty gaze. He then licked his thick lips and uttered.
"Boss, how 'bout we exploit this? With how painful those pesky large clawed lizards are, those five brats are definitely going all out; attempting to conclude the fight as fast as possible, because once it drags on, casualties may start appearing. We can give em' a marvellous surprise when they are about to conclude the battle."
Sheyan chortled in response.
"The Metals Professor is thinking likewise."
Upon hearing the name, Metals Professor, Zi's hand trembled and spilled some of the water she was drinking. Sheyan pretended not to see that and continued.
"Actually, the sneaky arrangements we've left behind can be counted as pretty sloppy. I believe they'll be able to notice traces of our schemes...afterwards, when the sudden ambush of those incredibly deadly Shadowdrill Deinonychus occurs, they would think of it as the climax of a trap. A trap that unfolds when Zi emerges unexpectedly to annihilate them alongside dinosaur 'allies'."
"Therefore, haven't you guys discovered? Those contestants fending off the pack of Shadowdrill Deinonychus, seem extremely relaxed...because they possess the reassurance of hidden comrades. Moreover, the evidence of this is the absence of the Metals Professor who should've been here."
"Hence, our impulsiveness would be met with well prepared enemies, who have been waiting for a long time, instead of weary and exhausted opponents. Those enemies are led by the Metals Professor. Us three appearing will merely cause a momentary astonishment, followed by an arduous blood bath, and possibly party annihilation..."
Reef refuted.
"That doesn't sound right. If those members of Glory Party are trying to beat a trap with a trap, the Metals Professor, as their leader, should be the amongst the crowd battling against those Shadowdrill Deinonychus. If she is really hiding, won't that clearly reveal she's spectating from the shadows?"
Sheyan's lips curled up as he replied.
"Therefore, this implies one thing – After resurrecting, the Metals Professor now cherishes her life dearly. Oh, in consideration for lady Zi's feelings, we shall say that the Metals Professor is scared of death."
"Let us speak from the Metals Professor's perspective. Now I've forced Zi into a dead end, why would I set up such a flawed snare for her? Undoubtedly, there's two possibilities. One is that I truly have no other alternatives. The other less likely option is..."
Speaking till here, Sheyan purposely paused.
"I fear the frenzied backlash of a dying dog before it dies! Wanting to take me down in mutual destruction!" Brother Black couldn't resist spoiling the suspense, as he added an oomph of murderous sternness.
He then panicked and swung round, and noticed Zi casting a dreadfully lethal glare towards him. The rhombus mana crystals revolving around here accelerated instantaneously…...
"Ooops, I didn't mean that you are a dog, ah shit, I swear I wasn't implying that!"
Mogensha hurriedly sealed his mouth. Besides, regardless of fame or prowess, Zi completely eclipsed him...yet, it was a wonder why Sheyan, an unawakened contestant, could continuously bicker with Zi; such was probably fate.
Sheyan continued speaking nonchalantly.
"Therefore, the Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna, is exceedingly afraid. She fears such a minute probability outcome happening; the prospect of Zi dragging her along into the grave...thus, she'd rather her plan be flawed than take the risk. Of course, we cannot exclude the fact that this flaw is intentional, and she wishes to slowly toy around with Zi; like a cat catching a rat."
When Sheyan issued his last sentence, Zi's expression turned as unsightly as the bottom of a burnt boiler. Nevertheless, common sense told her that Sheyan's words weren't without logic, and she couldn't retort him at all.
Fortunately, Reef decided to change the topic.
"Then what should we do now?"
Sheyan calmly suggested.
"We wait. Oh right, Zi, does your main mission have a completion deadline? This relates to whether you can vent some frustrations you know."
Frankly speaking, Zi was dying to ignore this brute. Yet Sheyan's last sentence coincidentally ignited her current emotions. Thus, she took a deep breath and hatefully answered.
"Yes, a deadline of one week."
"Oh woah, that is the best news I've heard from you since we first met till now." Sheyan immediately paid careful attention.
"You..." No matter how she heard it, Zi felt that this Seaman brat carried a particular mockery in his words. Still, she wasn't in a position to vent her anger, and could only warn herself to calm down...
The trio continued spectating as the members of Glory Party created a carnal bloodbath, slaughtering ten plus of those Shadowdrill Deinonychus. Concurrently, they were also vividly injured and were thoroughly exhausted.
Mogensha and Reef both glanced at Sheyan. Instead, Sheyan merely uttered a single word.
"Wait."
Those Shadowdrill Deinonychus remained undaunted. When they invested into combat, they went all out without cowering. Nonetheless, these dinosaurs possessed some intelligence.
For example, when Sheyan slew a tiny pack of Shadowless Deinonychus a while back without looking terribly haggard, the other Shadowless Deinonychus didn't continue throwing themselves to him to be slaughtered.
While the trio and Zi waited, the members of Glory Party were also waiting.
In their minds, once this fight nears the end and in their most weary state, the Zi who baited them here would show herself.
Alas, their surroundings remained a plain of deathly silence. There wasn't a single hint of abnormal movements.
Both parties were in a deadlock. The only difference, was the monitoring facility the trio were equipped with to survey their actions. On the contrary, the opposing party was purely waiting...
After tarrying for an hour, another of Sheyan's deliberately deployed hint took effect, as the Glory Party members finally lost their patience and left successively; rushing off to another direction.
The scorching sun ascended up high, casting its fiery rays down onto the earth. The temperature rapidly climbed, as creatures of the Metropolis of Death begun their daily hunting livelihood; either to seek for food, or to become another's food. Such was their destiny.
Sheyan released a huge yawn as he lied down on a camp bed. After gulping down several mouthfuls of Nonfu Spring mineral water, he sheepishly mumbled.
"I'm taking a rest first, don't disturb me."
Reef and Mogensha exchanged puzzled glances. Instead, Zi's vision darkened with annoyance and implored.
"So what you meant by venting frustrations, is taking an afternoon nap in this ghost town?"
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Ah, that is why I asked you about your mission deadline. Since there's one week, then snoozing for a day wouldn't hurt..."
Zi was totally speechless. She stood them dumbfounded before turning her attention to Mogensha, and demanded one word at a time.
"Let me ride your arachnid Overlord now! You guys aren't willing to fight, but I am!"
Brother Black reluctantly replied.
"Most excellent Zi...that arachnid Overlord belongs to boss, I have no rights. Besides, riding an arachnid Overlord in broad daylight...we'll be shredded to pieces by those Pterosaurs without even reaching a kilometre."
Zi shivered uncontrollably from anger, as she bluntly stomped off to a corner of the tent, and frustratedly glared at the tent wall.
At this moment, she made a resolution. If she ever got the opportunity, she would immediately leave these group of brats. Otherwise, if she didn't die by the hands of Glory Party, she would be angered to death by these brats first.
Time swiftly trickled away. In the blink of an eye, the sun was sinking in the west.
After some rest, Sheyan felt mentally invigorated. He executed a carefree stretch and called out to Reef and Brother Black.
"It's about time. I feel there'll be people arriving soon. Not many though, but definitely one deeply trusted by Zeus and the other, Yuan Zhan."

Chapter 717: Initial convincing
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Presented with such a carefree deduction by Sheyan, both Reef and Mogensha displayed utmost confidence in Sheyan although they were equally bewildered. Thus, they immediately started preparing.
Especially Mogensha, who was inevitably required to suppress Yuan Zhan with his long range capabilities. Thinking of such a daunting task, he took several deep inhalations. Besides, everyone knew that letting a Growth-Hunter Summoner have free reign in a battle, was undoubtedly equivalent to asking your whole party to suicide.
Upon hearing Sheyan's words, Zi immediately looked over with her monochrome pupils and offered a grin of dissatisfaction.
"What a presumptuous guess!"
Sheyan ignored her and chuckled to himself. Then, he headed out for an attentive survey.
In the end, approximately an hour later, Sheyan suddenly returned with a solemn countenance and ordered.
"They're here! Prepare for action!"
Mogensha and Reef hastily crept out to look. As expected, just like what Sheyan guessed, two men were shockingly travelling along the same stretch where the rampaging Tyrannosaurus stampeded through the previous day.
Yuan Zhan and the one carrying a Blood Warhammer, Tolui Helenite.
Since Reef and Mogensha were pretty accustomed to Sheyan's unforeseeable conjectures, they weren't that mystified but started preparing their battle essentials.
In contrast, Zi revealed a disbelieving expression. However, after frowning for a long while, her knitted brows slowly smoothened.
"I get it. You calculated that certain members of Glory Party would separate themselves to gain personal benefits! Of the members Glory Party, every single one of them harbours selfish motives. Only Zeus and Fu Lyanna are wholly bent on pursuing and eradicating me."
"Since they are now aware of the presence of Shadowdrill Deinonychus, they would definitely covet the rare and precious drop loots of 'true damage dealing' weapons or items. Fu Lyanna can temporarily quell such allurement and urge them to focus on pursuing me, but not all can be persuaded so easily!"
"Nevertheless, to deviate from the party's objective is still an offense. Therefore, only one with adequate status in the party, on good terms or important to Zeus, can defy Fu Lyanna's dissatisfaction. As for your guess on Yuan Zhan, the logic is fairly simple."
"For the present Glory Party, there isn't a single decent Growth-Hunter Summoner! Seeing the rapid attack speed of Shadowdrill Deinonychus dishing out frightening true damages, without a tanking MT, the other alternative is the endless cannon fodder summoned by a Summoner. Otherwise, one would have to retreat after merely slaying a few Shadowdrill Deinonychus."
Sheyan casted a gentle smile.
"Well said, your excellency Zi. Not wrong at all. Furthermore, since this is for selfish motives, he wouldn't bring along more manpower. After all, with the puny drop rate of these Shadowdrill Deinonychus, benefits can't really be shared fairly. Actually, they aren't being careless, because they solely believe you to be a one-man army, and are utterly clueless to our existence. Hence, even if they encounter any mishap when facing you, it will be entirely possible to hold on until reinforcements arrive."
Unbeknownst why, when Zi observed Sheyan at present, her face started heating up. This obviously wasn't a maiden's passionate yearning for love. Instead, it was a tiny feeling of remorse over her prior attitude.
Nevertheless, she wasn't willing to concede and scoffed.
"Hmph, just a smart guess. What if Fu Lyanna managed to control the situation and deter them from coming?"
Sheyan chuckled in response.
"If they don't show up, then we'll take it upon ourselves to harvest these Shadowdrill Deinonychus! After all, we can't possibly leave empty handed aye? Furthermore, we can infer from Fu Lyanna's scaredy demeanor of not taking the frontlines….could such cowardly conduct convince incomparably arrogant and untamed Growth-Hunters? I didn't say I was a hundred percent confident anyway, just a measly sixty percent; still, looks like I was right."
"Alright, we need to set up our formations. I must be clear on this, excellent Zi, as the strongest ace amongst us, you have an extremely heavy responsibility. So, I need to know if I can trust you."
Zi's complexion resembled frosting on noodles, as she icily asked.
"Do I appear unreliable to you?"
Sheyan issued a faint smile and answered.
"I hope not. Take these five flasks of gene-mix, you seem to have forgotten; I'm also a superb support, remember to find me for more if you run out eh."
"You...! What'd you mean by 'I hope not'???!"
An ecstatic Tolui Helenite was gasping for breath as he wiped off perspiration from his face. This motion caused his hands to be soaked in red liquid. As it turns out, his face wasn't covered in perspiration but fresh blood!
The truth was this.
Due to his overbearing crushing might, his final attack would frequently splatter his prey into mutilated pieces, thus causing thick blood to splash onto his face.
This was the sixteenth Shadowdrill Deinonychus he slew. In addition to the ones slaughtered by Yuan Zhan's summoned beasts, they had already dispatched over twenty Shadowdrill Deinonychus.
In spite of that, the deadliness of these dinosaurs was truly insane. From Yuan Zhan's unrivalled bitter expression, one could fathom how severe his casualties were.
As it turns out, just a few moments ago, one of his summoned beast who previously undergone the cleansing of Aldaris's 'Heart Storm', actually betrayed its master. Even a high tiered summoned creature, one imbued with a 'Beast Soul' which allowed it to be rebirthed, actually roared in anguish right before it died and attempted to bite its master!
Every time a Shadowdrill Deinonychus cleaved out a wound on his summoned beast, it was akin to clawing at Yuan Zhan's heart.
Right from the start of this battle, he had already permanently lost three summoned beasts. This represented that his battle capabilities had minimally dipped by a third.
In this cruel realm, the dipping of one's battle capabilities undoubtedly represented the dipping of one's status.
In contrast to Yuan Zhan's bleak expression, Tolui was bursting with elation. His thick arms were riddled with blood dripping claw lacerations, instead, his nightmare imprint rung out –
[ Shadowdrill Claw, 'A' grade material ].
By artificing this material into a weapon, there would be a sky-high chance of enhancing it with true damages! Its true worth was minimally above an ordinary Silver Storyline grade equipment.
Most importantly, this object belonged to Tolui Helenite alone. He didn't have to share it with anyone. Being in such a large scale party, obtaining sole authority for such a high level battle spoil could only be an aspiration to many.
Moreover, that was the main reason some of them weren't interested in pursuing Zi. Killing of a single Zi would at most drop them a single blood key. Furthermore, an equipment may not even result from it. Even the eventual loots needed to be allocated amongst 5-6 individuals!
Who would want to go through such troubles? What more, the one ordering them, the Metals Professor Fu Lyanna, refused to bear the risks of fighting ahead!
This was an affair where risks far outweighed the benefits; where their lives faced imminent danger at all times...frankly speaking, the only reason this group hadn't dispersed for their own interests, was due to Zeus's unparalleled strength and charisma.
Tolui Helenite trudged forward with a malevolent smirk on his face. He patted Yuan Zhan's shoulders and assured.
"Dude, relax. You've won my friendship. Besides, you will be able to acquire an incomparably powerful pet; just wait till that whore finishes her ludicrous fits, I'll ask big brother to begin experiments and cultivate that dinosaur embryo for you! Just think it through, by adding your genes into the dinosaur's embryo, the end product would be perfectly suited for you! Even Fanu, as a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter then, managed to succeed in his taming pact. There wouldn't be a problem for you!"
"My friend, just think about it. Carefully think about it, when the time comes when you seal a taming pact with that treasure, your other summoned beasts would probably burn with jealousy and some may abandon you. Why not exploit them fully now?"
Yuan Zhan strived to squeeze out a faint smile on his pale face, before nodding and replying.
"Fine, I get it."
Stimulated by the harvest of an 'A' grade raw material, Tolui burst into hysterical laughters.
"Then let's take a five minute rest before beginning. That building to the north looks good and we must hurry. After all, who knows what venom that darn whore would spew if we go missing for too long."
Yuan Zhan doubtfully suggested.
"My MP can only be restored to 70% after five minutes. If a mishap unexpectedly happens, I won't be able to deal with it properly"
Instead, Tolui Helenite lashed back.
"What sort of mishap can happen? You are being overly cautious. Right now, Zi can't even catch her breath from being pursued by Fu Lyanna and the rest. Also, those scums from the Skull Party had seemingly lost a lead on their main mission, and are wondering around like headless house flies."
"Furthermore, from the information we obtained, the damage dealt by these large claw lizards are so frightening, even a Tyrannosaurus wouldn't dare to invade their territory."
"Are you scared of a sudden insurrection of those Deinonychus going out of control? Look, there's a random gigantic hot air balloon suspended ten metres over that roof, we can always climb up the rope! Their greatest weakness lies in the incapability of long range attacks, why the need for such worrying?"
Yuan Zhan widened his mouth, wanting to speak but ultimately choosing to remain silent.
At present, he had already incurred the disfavor of the Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna. If he infuriated Tolui Helenite, he feared that even lifting a foot in his party would be immensely difficult in the future!
Reflecting on that, he couldn't help but regret his previous decision. Zi had channeled on their party resources towards him, even without an MT, there may still be a chance of roping those guys from the tiny Party Ace in. Reef wasn't inferior to Archeaphill, and there was even that rare exceptional assistant tank, Seaman...

Chapter 718: Liu Yan and Zhao Yazhi's hot air balloons…...
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Choices and regrets, yet life still has to go on; there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Clearly, the muscular Tolui Helenite wouldn't be able to scout out the area. Thus, he could only mentally 'motivate' Yuan Zhan to forcibly summon a random wolf, and sent it deeper into the low-rise shantytown. He then utilized it to search for a new pack of Shadowdrill Deinonychus, before...attempting to provoke them.
Instead, to Yuan Zhan's horror, he realized he actually poked a hornet's nest this time! After wandering into some 'forbidden' area, that wolf was seemingly ripped into shreds by the sudden surge of a large pack of Shadowdrill Deinonychus!
Compounding onto his horror, for some unknown reason, the sheer mass of Shadowdrill Deinonychus he provoked appeared like a massive swarm of darkness; it was practically twice that of an ordinary pack!!!
Tracing the scent of the invaders, those dinosaurs rampaged over with great ferocity.
"Ahhh run!!!" Yuan Zhan immediately cried out from the bottom of his heart. He quickly consumed a speed enhancing medicine while sprinting for the building with the hot air balloon hovering above. Concurrently, Tolui Helenite, though he appeared like a muscular snail, displayed a fleeing speed that wasn't the least bit inferior. He heaved along his massive warhammer while running like an agile type contestant.
To them both, once they could scale the suspended rope leading up to the hot air balloon carriage, though it merely offered a buffer of 6-7 metres, it would naturally suffice to keep them safe from the claws of those Shadowdrill Deinonychus.
While dashing towards the entrance of the building, Yuan Zhan took a quick glimpse backwards and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The nearest Shadowdrill Deinonychus to him was over a hundred metres away.
Yet in this instant, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart. Actually, this was due to a faint dull ringing he heard when previously controlling his wolf to scour ahead…...nevertheless, he didn't have the time to contemplate over that, getting to the safety of that hot air balloon carriage took utmost priority. Moreover, he also carried items like hand grenades and such, thus, should those Shadowdrill Deinonychus decide to loiter beneath the hot air balloon, they would be bombed to death.
The buildings here weren't too tall, being generally merely 2-3 storeys high. As a digitally enhanced Growth-Hunter himself, Yuan Zhan definitely only needed 10 seconds to scale to the rooftop.
However, when he finally arrived at the flat rooftop, he felt as though a basin of ice water had been poured over him. From head to toe, he felt a biting chill; a chill of imminent death that originated from his bone marrow!!!
Yuan Zhan was instantaneously stunned!
Simultaneously, even the herculean Tolui Helenite was stunned with him!
Prior to scaling the building, the hovering hot air balloon was in perfect condition and didn't exhibit any abnormality. Yet now, within a mere span of 10 seconds, the hot air balloon was unexpectedly rapidly withering!
A horrifying transformation scene of a shrivelling balloon. It was essentially as distinct as placing Liu Yan's chest and Zhao Yazhi's chest together and comparing them!
(TL: Both of them are chinese actresses)
Presently, anyone could tell that this rapidly deflating air balloon could no longer support its own weight, much less to say that of two additional individuals.
The faces of both contestants quivered and at this moment, the ludicrously loud roaring pack of Shadrowdrill Deinonychus had climbed up...
"KILL!!!!!"
Facing such an impasse, Tolui Helenite howled crazily as his chest released a dazzling radiance. He was indeed worthy of being called Zeus's confidant, a veteran of hundreds of battles, one that could surmount a comeback even in the midst of a sea of bloody corpses.
Agility wasn't their forte, hence, fleeing would only mean death! Why not arise vigorously and fight for a chance to survive!
This was a true bloodbath. Both sides battled with frenzied and undying spirits. Yuan Zhan and Tolui Helenite didn't dare to hold anything back but simultaneously unleashed all their hidden trump cards. In the face of these insanely terrifying true damage dealers, they only hoped to conclude the battle fast and squeeze out a shot at victory!
Tolui Helenite swung his stupendous dual handed warhammer furiously, as a blood radiance layered this half-ton heavy weapon! Wherever he swung, his body would follow fluidly with the warhammer's momentum; smoothly dishing out combo strikes like the moving clouds and flowing water!
After consecutively sweeping 4-5 Deinonychus away, Tolui Helenite stamped his feet and jumped 2-3 metres up high, before smashing his bloody warhammer ruthlessly onto the rooftop's surface. A layer of dense blood radiance condensed around the warhammer, as a depressing soul shuddering echo wafted through the air.
Then, a terrifyingly unrivalled seismic wave swept out. The entire rooftop tremored violently and collapsed with a thunderous rumble. Smoke and dust billowed up, as 6 Shadowdrill Deinonychus, who were located near the epicenter, were crushed to death at once and pulverized into mangled flesh!
Nonetheless, one could still hear the scampering of other onrushing Shadowdrill Deinonychus interweaving together. The sounds of their heavy footsteps trampling over the hearts of man. Still, they approached nearer and nearer, like an enormous towing vehicle that was recklessly colliding straight in.
After unleashing such an indomitable strike, Tolui Helenite definitely needed a short period of time to regather his strength. Even a powerful Growth-Hunter couldn't operate like a perpetual motion machine!
Suddenly, in this instance, two shadows erupted out from the dusty rubble! The two shadows were two Shadowdrill Deinonychus that had been injured from the aftershock. Those mutated dinosaurs possessed an undaunting mentality, their movements remained savage and nimble even in their heavily wounded state.
Pouncing forth abruptly, they each tied down both legs of Tolui Helenite, as they frenetically clawed out threads of mutilated flesh.
Intending to find a nearby wall so that he could fight with it covering behind, Tolui Helenite instantly lost his balance after being caught off guard. Like a truck, he smashed into the room beside.
His left cheek was a lacerated mess of dripping blood. Still, Tolui understood this was a matter of life and death. Ignoring the searing pain, he howled crazily as his arm muscles bulged explosively. He stored his blood warhammer into his personal storage before stretching out both arms, and viciously grabbed the necks of both Shadowdrill Deinonychus.
Those two wild dinosaurs were already heavily wounded, and with a simple exertion of strength, Tolui ripped their heads from their necks, as twin ghastly white vertebra were revealed amidst the gushing blood.
Yet even after such a fatal blow, those two Shadowdrill Deinonychus still reflexively wrapped around Tolui Helenite's legs relentlessly! Their claws reflexively dealt him more damages!
In such a predicament, Tolui Helenite grimaced as he finally consumed an honorary medicine dosage. Then, he released a shrilling roar.
"Beastmode!"
Instantly, Tolui's body swelled up. Even his stretchable sleeveless garment ripped apart and revealed his naked top.
Amidst the sudden expansion of his muscles, a frightening scene occurred. The blood streaming down his bodily wounds actually started defying gravity, as the blood meandered throughout his body; as though an invisible brush was currently painting the inky blood onto his muscles.
The blood continued interweaving through his body before shockingly into different barbaric tattoos of exceedingly malevolent, grotesque and abstract beast tattoos.
Relying on this incredibly beastly ability, Tolui Helenite swept up a tempestuous blood storm with his blood warhammer against all onrushing Shadowdrill Deinonychus. Though some incomparably brutal Shadowdrill Deinonychus managed to chomp off chunks of flesh, Tolui Helenite momentous storm didn't falter for even a second. The more damage he received from his foes, the more destructive his assaults became!
With the cover of Tolui Helenite's beastmode, Yuan Zhan consecutively summoned out a large crowd of creatures; some of which were strong summoned creatures that was still grievously injured!
It was difficult to judge what the losses for Tolui was from this battle, but Yuan Zhan's prowess would minimally plunge by 70%! This was a summoner's woe. The might and mass of their summoned creatures directly determined their standings. To Yuan Zhan, if he failed engage a contract between a dinosaur in this world, his position in the party may possibly decline to a supporting role.
The battle finally concluded.
In the end, Yuan Zhan and Tolui Helenite both survived, but not after an excruciating ordeal.
Yuan Zhan was still fine. As for Tolui Helenite, one simply couldn't find a single perfect piece of skin on his body. Every step he took left a blood footprint. If an ordinary person suffered such injuries, he would have perished over ten times!
Right now, none of them had the mood to retrieve their battle spoils. They were naturally frantically bandaging up and consuming food medicines.
But at this very moment, Tolui Helenite shockingly noticed that between Yuan Zhan's brows, an intriguing red dot was flashing.
Under the sunset, that beaming dot still impressed a fiery sensation into one's eyes; torturing one's cornea, like a one-eyed creature in the darkness that was brimming with abundant killing intent!
"That's a red dot...sight..." After ending his beastmode, Tolui Helenite only managed to squeeze out that thought in his mind.
Then came a gunshot!
Yuan Zhan was bluntly struck flying. A single bullet accurately struck the targeted position of the red dot between his brows! A blazing inferno ignited as sizzles crackled from his burning skin, then an awful charred stench pervaded out from his wound!
500 hundred metres away atop a building, a black male appeared. He was puffing on a cigar. A dull and faint glow covered his body. Indeed, he had activated the ability, 'Pearliate', of the 'Goldpearl of the Caribbean Sea'.
Mogensha already possessed fairly superb perceptive sense; after doubling it with 'Pearliate' and with the aid of his 'SN-Wasp' long distance firing, he naturally managed to deceive the eyes of both Yuan Zhan and Tolui Helenite.

Chapter 719: Skywalker Force – Strands of Time
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
In actual fact, Mogensha had recently been up to no good. For example, the massive pack of 'accidentally' startled Shadowdrill Deinonychus, or the shrivelling hot air balloon that signified the deflation of their hopes.
Everything was Brother Black's masterpiece he created with his 'SN-9 Wasp' and its newly equipped silencer.
As he noticed the unexpected appearance of a gunner, Tolui Helenite's facial muscles instantly twitched violently. He roared in despair and, completely forsaking Yuan Zhan's fate, he frantically turned in an attempt to flee.
Yet as he swung round, a red dot locked onto Tolui Helenite's back. Following that, a bullet accurately punctured in like a stomping foot and ignited a deadly mini explosion!
The wounded Tolui howled angrily like a cornered beast. Though his back was a fried and mangled mess, he ignored the pain and accelerated his escape. Once again, he activated his 'Beastmode' berserking ability!
With every stomp he took, a deep bloodied footprint was left on the ground. Fresh blood spurted and dripped everywhere. The wounds that had just closed up from his previous battle instantly ruptured open again.
The massive strength of his 'Beastmode', required that each time he released his strength, all of Tolui's muscle fibres would contract! With such an intensive jolting of the muscles, it would surely deal extremely severe damage to one's body.
Nevertheless, after paying such a tremendous cost, the benefits involved were equally potent!
As Tolui stomped forward, he didn't resemble a grievously wounded individual but a mighty warrior with 2-3 times his normal speed. Although he didn't specialize in agility, his movement speed was exceedingly frightening at this moment.
Besides, every injury he received would act as a catalyst to further enhance and strengthen his prowess!
A short 2-3 seconds later, Tolui had actually already pulled open a gap of 20 plus metres, and would soon reach a long ruined street; the same ruined street caused by the Tyrannosaurus' rampage the other night.
All of a sudden, a sonorous boom resounded from a nearby roll-up door. A brittle-like-paper looking male with a grave expression appeared. With 2-3 effortless punched, he crushed the roll-up door and tossed it aside. Then, step by step, he sauntered out steadily.
In his left hand, was an incessantly radiating black lightsaber, and covering his right arm, was an enormous shield that resembled the scorching sun!
Just from observing this individual, one would feel like the domineering noonday sunlight beating one down with an unbreakable sensation!
"
"MT...you are Reef!" Tolui Helenite gnashed his teeth and exclaimed.
"DAMMIT! You guys are actually that Party Ace!"
Tolui could be described as a veteran of a hundred battles. Such an imposing individual may still seem inferior to Zeus, yet in terms of talent or battle power, be it potential or influence, he was definitely not inferior to Zeus at all!
When Glory Party had classified Party Ace as their enemy, they naturally conducted a detailed investigation on them. Tolui still couldn't guess when Brother Black appeared, because he hadn't displayed his trademark AK. Yet with Reef appearing with his lightsaber, he naturally understood his predicament.
With such a domineering man obstructing ahead, Tolui knew it was absolutely impossible for him to breakthrough within a short period. Just that dark-gold grade shield alone already symbolized a heavenly moat blocking off his passage.
Despite so, he was still an incredibly decisive individual. Tolui immediately sucked in a deep breath and produced a ball that was glimmering with a mystifying brilliance from his personal storage.
This ball was the size of a chicken egg. When clutched in Tolui's hand, it exuberated a gentle white brilliance.
Instantly, one could notice an extremely peculiar phenomenon occuring beneath Tolui's feet. It seemed like a hexagram magic array was forming, as the gentle white brilliance continued to flow down like liquid, swiftly irrigating through the entire hexagram magic array. Evidently, the white glow was the fuel of this hexagram magic array.
Tolui Helenite surveyed his surroundings before clenching his teeth, and lashing out with a vicious tone.
"So long suckers, the next time we meet, you all, shall die!"
"Shit! He's escaping!" Brother Black yelled into his party channel with a worried voice.
"That's an 'S' rank item known as 'Sauron's Flight'! It can only be exchanged from an important storyline character, Grima Wormtongue, after entering Sauron's fortress. Once that white glow is fully transferred into that magic array, he'll escape!"
However, in this instant, a strange abnormality terrorized everyone's vision. The entire world seemed to have dissolved into undulating blurriness!
It was exceedingly difficult to describe this sensation with words.
Yet when this abnormality faded away, everyone was astounded. The white glow that was repeatedly channeling into the 'Sauron's Flight' transportation array, unexpectedly froze in midair. Afterwards, the white glow strangely flowed backwards before congealing back into the ball of glimmering mystifying brilliance!
Eventually, even that transportation array vanished.
Originally laughing wildly with a crystal clear venomous glare in his eyes, it now transformed into a unexplainable fluster. Anyone who was facing impending death would similarly feel such tremendous fear!
He aggressively swung round and looked up. Atop the rooftop, a feminine silhouette was disrupting the glaring sun rays. This woman was adorned in a dark blue gown and was brimming with an archaic and mysterious egyptian flare; a nobility that could never be tarnished. Her left hand gripped a crescent shaped dagger.
Right now, she was pointing that dagger icily towards here. Upon viewing that woman, one could sense a chilling gust swirling round her gown.
Frankly speaking, Zi couldn't be considered the apex of female beauty. The features weren't remarkably mesmerizing nor were they without flaws. However, her bearing was distinguished and unrivalled in coolness; a grandeur befitting of an arrogant royalty that was second to none!
Any ordinary male who viewed her face would be shuddered into humility, and be ashamed to take a second look.
Distinctly seen, the silver crescent dagger in Zi's hand was incomparably sharp. At this moment, a dozen light arcs were flashing in with unbelievable speed! Those blade arcs appeared as though they were carved out from the void, impressing all onlookers with a trembling and mystifying sensation...as though space was quivering and being dissected.
Most probably, the bewildering dreamy sensation the contestants had experienced, was ushered in by Zi's ability!
'Skywalker Force – Strands of Time'!
In its initial stage, it could sever the enemy's interaction with space and disrupt any ability! However, if the enemy's ability belonged to the class of instant cast, it would deliver a silencing effect to the opponent; preventing them from casting any ability, inclusive of equipment abilities or items for 15 seconds.
As for the 'Skywalker Force' ability, it was a purer advanced ability with a prerequisite of 'Force lvl 10'!
So far, Zi has only managed to grasp this single method of using her 'Skywalker Force' ability. Moreover, this was one of her invincible abilities she painstakingly learnt after she was left alone when her entire party was annihilated.
In this moment, Tolui Helenite's spirit was submerged. He could seemingly smell the foul stench of death. Yet suddenly, his eyes revealed a madness of a desire for mutual demise! Affirming his desire, he charged furiously towards Reef as he prepared to smash down with his blood warhammer!
Reacting with his incomparable abundance of combat experience, Reef immediately raised his shield and rushed forth while issuing a bright roar! He titled his shield 30 degrees up as he prepared to parry away the incoming smashing warhammer. From here, one could detailedly observe the difference between an expert and a rookie.
Before the blood warhammer smashed onto the shield, it bloody radiance intensified turbulently; as though bloodied currents were splitting the air!
Boom! Reef was actually repelled 5-6 metres backwards by the smashing hammer. Both his feet plowed two deep trails of broken up pieces along the pavement
Repel!
Although he was repelled backwards, Reef quickly firmed himself and continued blocking off Tolui Helenite's front, preventing him from easily bypassing this barrier! Then, he unleashed his 'Shattering Cardiac Roar'.
A thundering roar swept out towards all corners, as it churned up waves of dust. In spite of that, Tolui remained seemingly unaffected by the speed decline effect. His outrageous 'Beastmode' ability actually provided him immunity to a speed impeding effects!
Following that, Tolui jumped up high as blood radiance gathered richly around his blood warhammer. The blood radiance revolved rapidly around his warhammer, and in the blink of an eye, it carried a long streak of blood radiance before smashing down onto Reef's massive and resolute sun shield with unmatched momentum.
A piercing metallic crash erupted. Blood and a dark golden radiance enveloped the surroundings like electric currents scattering everywhere.
Yet all of a sudden, Tolui's agonizing howl could be heard! More strangely, at the point of impact between warhammer and shield, the fresh blood radiance appeared as though it was being pulverized into mutilated flesh! Meanwhile, the scorching sun radiance similarly turned increasingly dimmed!
Reef gritted his teeth as both his feet were anchored 2-3 centimetres deep into the ground. Numerous tiny crevices formed around his feet as they extended 2-3 metres outwards like a cobweb! It appeared as though he would soon sink into the concrete from this hammering strike!
Yet when the aftermath of the strike ended, Reef's countenance instantly changed. This wasn't due to him suffering a fatal blow. After all, no matter how formidable Tolui Helenite was, he was still a Growth-Hunter and not an Awakener. It was impossible for him to crush Reef with merely two moves.
Instead, Reef realized that Tolui's strike was unexpectedly a feint. He planned to borrow the resulting impact of the collision to propel himself far away!

Chapter 720: Ferocious counter
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
After hammering down, Tolui utilized the massive recoil to execute a forward somersault in midair. He propelled himself forward for 7-8 metres before landing steadily in a half-kneeling posture.
A trace of agony filtered through his sinister countenance. Following that, two unexplainable and shocking glows beamed out from both his legs. They were indeed the sign of a special ability casted by Tolui Helenite – 'Mike Powell's Leap' !
'Mike Powell's Leap' was an ability that granted a 700% boost to the user's next jump!
Kacha! Kacha! A string of sounds drifted in. One could clearly observe the cement beneath Tolui's feet being grinded into powdery fragments. His feet stamped the ground as the tiny 2-3 metre long fissures erupted along the ground.
Then, his body instantly jolted forward as he soared for nearly 40 metres with breakneck pace; leaving a falling cloud of dust behind and even blasting through two lateral buildings.
Just with mere fleeing seconds, from seemingly venting all his rage with a hammering strike onto Reef, when the blinding clash of blood warhammer and shield died down, Tolui had unexpectedly fled far away to the back.
In a blink of an eye, a chasm of 60 metres separated him and Reef.
"What's he planning to do?!" Doubt surfaced in both Reef's and Mogensha's heart.
However, it was Zi's expression that sunk dramatically. An unprecedented crisis instantly welled up her heart! She immediately yelled with a sharp voice.
"Hurry run!! Seaman, his target is you!!!"
When Zeus and the others deemed Party Ace as their opponent, being a core fighter himself, Tolui Helenite had carefully analyzed each individual of Party Ace.
At present, he no longer harbored any hope of staying alive. Still, his brutal and savage personality meant that he would do his utmost to deliver a fatal blow to his foes before his death.
Undoubtedly, amongst the four in his eyes, the hardest to kill was Reef.
Honestly speaking, in a 1 v 1 scenario, he may not be Reef's match as well! Next, the most difficult to kill was Zi. Moreover, she was the one that Tolui held the least confident in defeating in a solo fight.
Hence, of the two remaining, if Tolui felt like he had an opportunity, he would definitely have chosen to eliminate golden AK. Nevertheless, he also understood the difficulty clearly. Golden AK's reputation was illustriously rising lately and he was even a gunman adept in agility and perceptive sense. Firstly, it would be tough to mount a sneak attack onto him. Secondly, AK has probably reserved several life protecting capabilities on him.
Thus, Tolui locked onto the support class individual known as Seaman.
As Sheyan had battled alongside Yuan Zhan and Sable during the realm war previously, Glory Party managed to obtain a relatively detailed report about him. Their evaluation of Sheyan was this.
His top three attributes are strength, intelligence and physique.
He possesses excellent support abilities.
An individual with top quality combat awareness.
Still, he lacked life preserving methods.
To Tolui Helenite, excellent support capabilities meant weakness in offense. In his current 'extinguishing lampstand' state, it was indeed favourable news. Also, without life preserving methods, he could conclude the battle swiftly.
Thus, Tolui Helenite made a decisive call – to eliminate Seaman!
Relying on his keen awareness he developed from countless combat experience, Tolui had scanned the battlefield and discovered that for the sake of preventing them both from escaping, their opponents were relatively segregated from each other. In addition, a support class contestant wouldn't be vastly separated from the battlefield, hence, there remained only a few spots for him to hide. Thus, Tolui quickly deciphered Seaman's location.
Masking his intentions perfectly, Tolui unexpectedly chose not to flee from this encirclement but instead dove deeper and barrelled in with proactive dominance.
"Wretched little rat, where do you intend on fleeing?" Tolui broke into hysterical laughter as he finally sighted a panicking individual, who was sprinting away in disarray. While charging in, he smashed through steel fences with his crude warhammer.
All of a sudden, Tolui stored his warhammer and opted for a 'FIM-92 Stinger', a homing missile launcher.
After locking onto the hastily retreating Sheyan, Tolui pressed the trigger. Instantly, a blazing combustion spewed out from the launcher's black barrel.
Shua! Shua! Two guided missiles whizzed out and rumbled towards Sheyan.
"Mogensha, Reef! Just let Yuan Zhan off!!" Zi yelled sharply.
"We must hurry to rescue Seaman that idiot. How can there be such an idiot, letting the enemy discover him so easily?! Tolui is unstoppable when he enters 'Beastmode', but if we unleash our greatest combined offense, we can finish off that maniac before he gets to Seaman! Otherwise, Seaman's demise is inevitable! OI, what's with both your reactions?!!"
As it turns out, after Zi issued her order, both Mogensha and Reef revealed weird expressions. Reef persisted in guarding this essential main street. As for Mogensha, he continued camping at his vantage point, as he focused on gunning down the wretchedly fleeing Yuan Zhan.
"Hey, your excellency, Zi. Actually we forgot to mention one thing….Ehh?? Shit, Reef hurry over. Yuan Zhan actually fused with his summoned beast!"
Meanwhile, Zi was anxiously stamping her feet.
"Are you guys even listening to me??!"
Concurrently, the two guided 'stinger' missiles, with smoke puffing out from behind, had already reached Sheyan's front.
Boom! A tremendous explosion resounded.
A shockwave from the explosion swept out, blasting straight against Sheyan who had darted away. Sand and rocky sediments were blown away from the exploding nucleus, exposing the raw concrete ground beneath. Eventually, one could only observe two fiery and smoky mushroom clouds.
Before he could dive behind cover, Sheyan was struck by the shockwave as the inferno engulfed him. Fragments of the missiles scraped and lacerated out several deep wounds along his body.
Afterwards, while Sheyan was still struggling to get up, the blood soaked Tolui Helenite pounced in ferociously as he swung forth his dark red warhammer. With a single smack, he struck Sheyan smashing against a wall behind, before thrusting in with the acute tip of his dreadful warhammer.
Finally, Tolui Helenite finished executing a hammering uppercut, striking Sheyan up into the air. Before Sheyan could fall, Tolui's muscles contracted with explosive might, as even faint blood mist sprayed out from his body.
"AHHHHHH, go to hell!!!"
Tolui Helenite roared frenziedly as he spun his bloody warhammer and viciously smashed it in!
As his warhammer struck in, a mirage of a gigantic blood lion formed. With unparalleled hardness, the warhammer pounded against Sheyan's head. Following that, the gigantic blood lion roared tyrannically and munched down onto Sheyan, before viciously ripping his flesh apart!
Therefore, even if Sheyan plunged into a near-death state from being pounded by the warhammer, that blood lion mirage would still deal blood loss damage and claim the enemy's life.
"HAHAHAHA. First one down! Ah! Damn!" As Tolui Helenite laughed wildly amidst his despairing reverie, Zi's 'Force Collision Wall' collided in and sent him pathetically crashing 5-6 metres away. Blood oozed out from his mouth, nose and ears.
Nevertheless, Tolui immediately climbed back up. With a mouthful of blood, he howled crazily.
"Be it that I will perish here today, you guys shall join me in the grave! Yuan Zhan had analyzed on the pheromones produced by these Shadowdrill Deinonychus when in distress. His original goal was to bait out flocks of Shadowdrill Deinonychus, a pity we failed. Yet now, with this failed experiment, I shall personally witness your lamentable state of wailing and groaning, when these Shadowdrill Deinonychus shred you to pieces!"
"NO DON'T!!" Watching Tolui Helenite lifting up a test tube before smashing it onto the ground, Yuan Zhan cried out in great bitterness.
Meanwhile, Zi's expression changed drastically as she commanded defeatedly.
"We must leave now! It is impossible to save Seaman, we must flee as far as we can now! Saving him will only cause our total annihilation."
Without a doubt, Tolui Helenite wasn't lying at this point. When that test tube shattered, an unknown odour wafted out.
Within seconds, an alarming symphony of shuffling footsteps echoed in from the not to distant ghettos. After a few more seconds, at least 200-300 Shadow Drill Deinonychus laid bare in their naked eyes. They poured in rapaciously like a tidal wave, as a pungent fishy stench flooded the atmosphere.
The savage dinosaurs inevitably stampeded towards the culprit, Tolui. Despite so, Tolui had evidently planned beforehand. He suddenly retrieved a medicine dosage that twinkled with a purplish glint.
This was a magic potion he acquired from the Harry Potter World. Upon consumption, Tolui Helenite would instantly plunge into a near death state; unable to use any item or ability, nor benefit from health regeneration. Yet simultaneously, death would glance amicably over him after he sacrificed such a large portion of vitality, preventing him from receiving any damage for the next half an hour. Of course, he would be torn asunder after half an hour elapses.
Furthermore, the consequence of employing this magic potion was extremely grave, permanently deducting 15% of one's HP and MP. Even if one could fortunately survive, he would be greatly crippled.
"Ohh, so this is your trump card?"
Out of the blue, beneath a distant heap of debris, a desecrated individual stood up.
He coughed out several mouthfuls of dust and nonchalantly stroked his hair, causing greyish loose dust to pelter down.
If not Sheyan, then who?

Chapter 721: Yuan Zhan's death
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The desecrated looking Sheyan gazed over to Tolui Helenite and chuckled.
"Aye, my friend. It seems that hammer of yours only looks tough."
In this instant, a dumbfounded expression covered Tolui's face, as though he had just seen a ghost. He shouted from the depths of his lungs.
"IMPOSSIBLE!! How are you not dead!!? Even honorary medicines are futile for contestants struck by my blood weapon! Even other kinds of medicines can only retain 33% of their healing efficacies!"
Facing such a bewildering scene, not only was Tolui stunned, but Yuan Zhan and Zi as well...
Sheyan exercised his limbs a little before dashing towards a nearby and steady looking building, while simultaneously gesturing for Zi, Mogensha and Reef to assemble there.
Concurrently, he also hurled out a flask of curse-mix. Its poisonous fog fumigated towards those Shadowdrill Deinonychus, causing their movements to turn sluggish.
While sprinting, Sheyan smirked at Tolui and scoffed.
"That's because I didn't even need to take medicines, dumbass."
"You...you didn't consume medicines?!!!!? Impossible!!" Tolui Helenite's eyes were about to pop out by now.
"Even though we belong to the same realm, and though you are a contestant receiving additional regulated protection from a Growth-Hunter like me, it is still impossible for you to be alive. I've already slain 76 others….I…..cannot have calculated wrongly!"
As he spoke till here, Tolui suddenly recalled a seemingly minute probability. When that happened, the him who killed without blinking, immediately stuttered as though he was staring at a ghost.
His voice turned exceedingly shaking as he mumbled.
"Un…...u-unless..."
"Unless, I'm also an MT." Sheyan smirked and continued the words that was stucked in Tolui's throat.
"Y-you...you guys are just a party of three, but, but there are actually two MTs???" Tolui Helenite's voice was extremely shaky by now.
Following that, his tone abruptly turned venomous.
"Not possible!! Every single MT possesses their own arrogance, it is almost impossible for two to coexist. A party should only have one voice! Even if one makes a compromise, fractures are bound to form sooner or later, leading to internal crumbling!"
By now, Tolui Helenite still insisted in believing his own deduction. Nevertheless, he purposely uttered those words, in order to create dissention between Sheyan and Reef even in this despairing situation. One could tell his scheming heart wasn't inferior to his masculine image!
At present, Reef was already stationed at a position indicated by Sheyan. After listening to Tolui's words, he couldn't help but interrupt.
"A true pity, Mr Tolui. None of us made any compromise really. Seaman is stronger than me, there's no cause for doubt. Compared to me, he is more suited to be the leader. Frankly speaking, I am tremendously content with my current position."
Tolui shut his eyes in hopelessness. He could only feel gloominess rushing against his chest. It was as though breathing itself was arduous and his chest felt like exploding.
"What the hell is going on. How does this even make sense. A party of three, but two MTs?! A Growth-Hunter that acknowledges a mere contestant as his leader, and a content one at that...ah...ah, am I going crazy or is this world turning nuts???"
"Eh? And what is that bunch of morons up to now? Are they trying to prolong their demise? Ahh...Ahh...Ahchoo!"
Initially lost in desperation, a twinkle suddenly shone in Tolui Helenite's eyes. As he peeped through the gaps of these ravenously swarming Shadowdrill Deinonychus, he observed Party Ace's movements.
"Hahaha, a bunch of morons, really a greedy bunch of morons! If they had left immediately, perhaps two can still make it out. But they want me to witness themselves being torn asunder? Ahh? What's with this abrupt headache?"
Truthfully speaking, when Zi beheld the sheer mass of stampeding Shadowdrill Deinonychus, her basic instinct was to run. She knew the nickname given to these dinosaurs – the bane of all MTs. The devastation of true damages didn't need to be randomly elaborated
Still, when she observed Mogensha and Reef unanimously and swiftly heeding Sheyan's commands, Zi subconsciously decided to tag along.
She was exceptionally clear on one fact. If those two old birds, Reef and Mogensha, didn't possess adequate confidence, they wouldn't deliver themselves to die in vain. Secondly, for some unknown reason, she who had been accustomed to giving orders, when suddenly receiving an order from someone else, couldn't muster any resistance. Perhaps...….she wasn't willing to see that male tragically perishing in front of her as well.
While dashing over, Brother Black abruptly leapt up high. While in mid-ar, he released fire as his golden AK spat out long fiery tongues.
Mogensha then shouted over.
"Excellent Zi, your turn!"
Meanwhile, after fusing with a veggie summoned creature, Yuan Zhan's movement speed became abnormally slow. Hence, numerous Shadowdrill Deinonychus had already swarmed him. Bitter wails echoed through the frenetic clawing.
Mogensha's burst shot of three bullets precisely depleted all his remaining health points, directly striking him into near death state. Simultaneously, the barrage knocked away the foraging dinosaurs.
Zi casted a glance at the hopeless Yuan Zhan. A strand of complication emotion welled up in her eyes in this instant. Still, they swiftly transformed decisive and callous!! She raised her fair palm at towards Yuan Zhan!
'Force Collision Wall' unleashed!
A formless and transparent wall collided in.
A second later, Zi received a slaying notification.
Right now, her heart harbored not a strand of vengeance, but an incomparably intensive hollowness and ache!
This feeling was akin to one's most precious object shattering in one's own hand.
Of course, this didn't mean that there was a special relationship going on between Zi and Yuan Zhan. Instead, it was because the Illume-union was constructed with her own blood and tears…. she poured loads of the party's resources on Yuan Zhan, yet…...that scum actually repaid her with betrayal!
When Zi killed him, it was equivalent to her destroying all her previous ideals, her hard work, and her success...
"You, what are you guys doing?" After jolting back from her momentary heartache, Zi immediately gasped.
Please don't misunderstand. Although lady Zi gasped like a chinese maiden being violated while riding the public bus, it was because she was genuinely astounded by Party Ace's peculiar formation!
Mogensha standing at the rear of the party was a given. However, the powerful and enduring Growth-Hunter, Reef, was unexpectedly standing in the support tank position. As for Sheyan, he was daringly shielding the entrance of the building, appearing as though he wanted to defy the surging wave of Shadowdrill Deinonychus with his might alone!
Holding back a hundred plus Shadowdrill Deinonychus with his might alone!
Wasn't this action in Zi's eyes simply contemptible and simply suicidal????
Yet strangely at this moment, Brother Black even fished out a cigar and casually lighted it. He then ambiguously muttered.
"Boss, want a stick? Right, you sure there aren't entrances at the back? If there are leakages behind, we're screwed."
Sheyan maintained his gaze ahead and calmly answered.
"There are, but I've already reinforced them with steel fences. Even a loach can give up on entering. Anyway, regardless if Glory Party had triggered this or not, I've already accounted a scenario of raiding Shadowdrill Deinonychus in my plans. Thus, I surveyed this area last night, and prepared five buildings. I rank this building the second out of the five."
By now, 5-6 bloodlusted Shadowdrill Deinonychus lunged towards Sheyan! Their shimmering sharp claws released a chilling glint that all contestants, no, even MTs would be afraid of.
Zi couldn't help but shut her eyes in despair...as for Tolui Helenite, he excitedly widened his eyes...the humiliation he suffered was far too great. His rage would now be vented through those frenetic beasts!!!
His eyes were bloodshot as he cried out in ecstasy.
"You moron, you will be minced to pieces in five seconds! Ahchooo….foolish contestant, thinking that you can run amok with merely an innate ability? Can't you see the Growth-Hunter MT behind you trembling? *cough* cough* *cough* *cough*...dammit, is this magic potion corroding my throat? Why am I coughing so violently..."
5 seconds later…...10 seconds passed...
20 seconds elapsed...
Finally, a full 50 seconds later...
Zi was no longer speaking. Like a robot, he repeatedly unleashed her 'Force Collision Walls'. Right now, she was utterly shaken. There was no words to describe this situation.
Apart from Zi, Mogensha and Reef were mainly in charge of eradicating any Shadowdrill Deinonychus that managed to squeeze in. With the help of their two viperwolves and five sage-scarabs, this mission was incredibly relaxing for them.
The main slaughterer was still Zi. One didn't have to elaborate on her formidability. Her 'Force Collision Wall' naturally offered an area of effect superiority.
Those Shadowdrill Deinonychus possessed smaller frames, while their vitality and defence were quite weak. During the latter period, many injured Shadowdrill Deinonychus were instantly reduced into a puddle of flesh and blood after meeting Zi's 'Force Collision Wall' head on. This was truly an all out massacre.
As he witnessed this scene, the muscular and deranged Tolui was twitching violently. He struggled to raise his trembling fingers.
"T-t-this…...h-how is his possible? An innate ability that can suppress true damages? *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*."
Reef sighed and casted a sympathetic gaze at Tolui, like how a pastor would gaze at a dying patient.
"Oh Mr Tolui Helenite, this is the reason I call him boss."
Tolui widened his mouth but violently wheezed instead. Watching his supremely widened mouth, one could tell he was desperately yearning for air amidst the nerve-wracking cough.
There was seemingly something clogging his throat, something that couldn't be coughed out!

Chapter 722: Coughing to death!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Aziz..Aziz will avenge me…...Hitman Aziz will surely, a-aven, avenge, m-me. *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*..."
Tolui's final word clogged his throat entirely. First came a few droplets of blood spraying out from his virulent coughing, then streams of blood rolled down the corners of his lips like red snakes slithering rapidly down his neck. His widened eyes lost their focus, and finally, Tolui ceased from all movements...
Spectating such a scene, Sheyan heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head silently. Instead, Brother Black gloated sadistically and teased with joy.
"Boss, another slayer point added, eh?"
Simultaneously, Sheyan swung a punch at a Shadowdrill Deinonychus and chuckled.
"Hoh, congratulations to Mr Tolui for being second partaker of this good fortune of coughing to death."
Meanwhile, waves of astonishment were flushing into Zi's heart. Tolui Helenite's magic potion should've possessed an outstanding precedence rate, yet even under its protection, Tolui still passed away 'peacefully' by some sort of special blood loss effect! Such a scene completely amazed her once again.
Honestly speaking, Zi wasn't an individual with shallow knowledge. However, in this short span of an hour, the number of astonishing events she experienced had eclipsed all else since she entered the nightmare realm!
After a momentary daze, she regained her senses and coldly announced.
"Aziz….probably false bravado. Zeus has already dispatched Fu Lyanna and the rest to kill me, while still having to deal with the threat of the Skull Party. Under such circumstances, would he dare to send out Aziz?"
Mogensha was a very flashy individual. If not for him growing up amidst the chaos of war but instead in a peaceful state like America, he would probably have been an exceptionally gifted rapper. Hence, even in the midst of such an intensive battle, he couldn't help but speak up.
"Aziz? Is he very formidable?"
Meanwhile, with her five slender scallion-like fingers, Zi drew out extremely distinct marks in the air. Then, with a gentle push of her right palm, she once again pushed a 'Force Collision Wall' out. Rumbling thunderously as it whizzed out, the formless wall created a bloody storm along its path!
After regulating her breath, Zi indifferently answered.
"Speaking of Aziz, you should be wary of him the most, Mogensha. If Tolui Helenite was Zeus's sword, then Aziz is his deadliest arrow! Do you not know why he is hailed as America's public enemy?"
Concurrently, Mogensha gunned down an onrushing Shadowdrill Deinonychus, while he chewed on his gum and nonchalantly replied.
"Nope."
"Prior to entering the nightmare realm, he was already an incredibly dreadful sniper. A citizen from Afghanistan, his parents died to the Americans when he was young and only he managed to avoid disaster. Bearing this bone deep hatred, he started assassinating American troops ever since he learned how to use firearms."
"By the age of thirty, the amount of American militants that had perished to his gun exceeded 300 men, which included special ops soldiers and others. Gradually, he became hailed as America's public enemy. Monitored by the FBI, when Aziz reached the age of 35, his wife and kids were killed, which eventually led to him stumbling into the nightmare realm..."
Zi's tone complied with her icy demeanor. The impression she exuberated was as if she wasn't in the midst of fighting, but merely gossiping with friends in a coffee shop on a rainy night.
Sheyan nodded quietly. For this lady to be able to command such a large party, she naturally possessed a certain charm and imperceptible influence of esteem.
After listening to Aziz's history, Mogensha subconsciously took a deep breath of chilling air. His spine turned slightly numb. His own living conditions were considered treacherous, yet as compared to Aziz, it was utterly not worth mentioning.
The most terrifying aspect of Aziz was that even under such circumstances, he actually dared to proactively find trouble with the American forces! Moreover, these were his accomplishments even before entering the realm! One could simply observe how formidable his innate would be. Perhaps, it already matured to an incredibly powerful stage even before he entered the realm.
Zi, intentionally or otherwise, glanced at Mogensha again and uttered.
"Aziz has a habit. While clashing with foes, he loves to assassinate the opponent's gunner first. This is due to his prejudice and sacred ideology that other than him, nobody else deserves to employ a firearm before him! To him, his gun is his life. The only source of his faith and his very soul!"
Usually conceited with his gunning talents, beads of perspiration were now emitting from Mogensha's forehead...even his aiming became slightly weird. Fortunately, at this moment, the majority of Shadowdrill Deinonychus were annihilated or had fled. This mental blow to Brother Black didn't affect the overall situation at all.
With the assistance of an invincible mage type Growth-Hunter like Zi, the overwhelming quantities of Shadowdrill Deinonychus still succumbed to her indiscriminate barrages of 'Force Collision Walls'. Nevertheless, Zi also fully exhausted all her three floating rhombus mana crystals. One could tell how taxing this was on her mentally.
Truthfully speaking in Zi''s perspective, she hadn't felt this sensation of merely holding the fort for an exceedingly long time.
During her other battles, as the party leader, she had to constantly overlook all other aspects as well as the grand state of the battlefield. She had to consistently direct her party's flow, and managed many different things simultaneously.
At present, this sensation felt totally brand new to her. However, in the midst of this serenity, as she observed Sheyan's astute arrangements and decisions, a clear disappointment surfaced in her eyes. A notion she wished to suppress in her heart subconsciously floated up.
"Could it be, the gap between us is that vast?"
The property of true damages was indeed particular rare.
It wasn't merely devastating, but was also considered extremely rare!
After the gang slaughtered a hundred Shadowdrill Deinonychus, their harvest was unexpectedly only a single crystal –
[ 'A' grade material: Shadowdrill Deinonychus Blood Crystal – Embedding this crystal will provide a bonus of 20 true damage! ]
Following that, needless to say, they decided to split the loots from both blood keys acquired from Yuan Zhan and Tolui Helenite.
At present, Zi produced a bottle of liquid known as 'Underworld Spring', and used it on the two blood keys. It supposedly increased the chances of drawing a higher grade item by 15%. However, it was a one time usage where the bottle of Underworld Spring' required refilling in its relevant world.
For Yuan Zhan's key, the trio evidently advocated for drawing equipments. In contrast, Zi strolled to a distant corner with extremely conflicted emotions.
Soon after, she could hear Reef's excited chuckle. From afar, she sighted a dark golden glitter. As it turns out, it was that exact accessory she traded with the trio previously, but right now, it was a '7 Chieftain's Hobby' that returned to its original owners. Frankly speaking, that item was truly fated with the trio.
As for Tolui Helenite's key, an argument begun over the decision to draw his equipment or items instead.
Without a doubt, Tolui inevitably boasted remarkable equipments. For example that blood warhammer, which could actually cause honorary medicines to turn invalid when battling contestants! Besides that, there was also that 700% power leap booster equipment.
Still, Tolui also possessed an incredible storage of items. Excluding that 'S' grade item, 'Sauron's Flight', there was also the 'A' grade material, 'Shadowdrill Claw', that he harvested from the Shadowdrill Deinonychus recently and was equivalent to a dark-gold grade equipment! Most crucially, they could draw three items but only one equipment with a 50% chance of failure.
The trio debated incessantly, each unable to convince each.
Meanwhile, the cool and composed Zi silently stood by the side and replenished her rhombus mana crystals. Initially unwilling to participate in this argument, but when she noticed that time was rapidly passing, Zi ultimately couldn't maintain her unperturbed state and strode over.
She glared at them austerely and chided.
"Do you guys wish to stay here and deliver yourselves to Fu Lyanna? Although Glory Party's party channel transmission is limited to two kilometres….. Yuan Zhan reared a 'Soul Owl'. The release of that 'Soul Owl' indicates a bad omen! Once that 'Soul Owl' locates Fu Lyanna and combust into nothingness, she will evidently realize something had happened to him. Perhaps, in the best scenario, the dimwitted Fu Lyanna remains confused and clueless, but after such a long time…..whatever it is, they may arrive here anytime, and yet you guys are still bickering amongst yourselves!!"
"What's that to bicker about? Tolui that fool is Zeus's blade. His slayer value has assuredly surpassed 30 points. Thus, even for a Growth-Hunter like him, his blood key will sure provide two drawing chances. Just hurry and finish up, then we leave at once!"
After concluding, Zi frustratedly turned and left.
Watching her leaving figure elegantly enhanced by her deep-blue robe, Sheyan shrugged his shoulders.
"Alright, alright. Let's get to work."
The first draw was the items. In the end, it was a complete fiasco.
Out of the three items, two were junk and could only be swapped for several hundreds of utility points. One could tell the bunch of Glory Party was merely exaggerating their appearance and wasn't wealthy at all. They didn't even spare such loose change in directly selling to the nightmare realm, but stored them to sell in the realm marketplace instead; thereby saving a few hundreds of extra utility points.
Furthermore, this was Zeus's confidant! To be scavenging so pathetically, one could indeed distinctly feel the tacky problem of loot allocation for large scale parties.
Fortunately, the final item was pretty excellent. It was the 'A' grade material, 'Shadowdrill Claw'.

After concluding the item draw, the trio waited expectantly. Indeed just as what Zi predicted, their nightmare imprints transmitted the notifications.
[ Growth-Hunter no.81212's slayer value is above 30 points, condition for second draw is fulfilled ]
[ You receive another draw from the blood chest! ]
"Oh woah!" Although he was already expecting this, Reef and Mogensha still failed to contain their excitement. Sheyan cheerfully announced.
"Our excellent Zi is indeed matchless in experience, her words spot on without errors."
Following that, Sheyan urged Reef.
"Wanna test your luck?"
Reef hesitated a little but his eyes revealed immeasurable delight.
"Alright."
Sheyan actually thought Reef wouldn't agree but merely asked out of courtesy. Like a simple greeting of 'have you had dinner', but yet the other party abruptly blurted, 'no I have not, treat me….'
Sheyan eventually broke out of his amazement and asked.
"Did the Lord not mention not to covet another man's wife, nor his house, fields, servants, oxen, donkeys and everything?"
Reef then offered an extremely classic answer.
"Not too long ago, I realized that in this cursed realm, every man is their own master."
Reef then selected the equipment draw. His hand reached into the blood chest and...his expression hinted a strenuous use of strength….looking at his exerted state, everyone's heart flushed with joy. With a fierce grunt, Reef actually pulled out a massive regiment of unparalleled rich crimson radiance!!!
As she observed the crimson radiance spiralling up, Zi couldn't help but return and exclaimed.
"You guys...what kind of luck is this!"
A while later, the crimson radiance gradually receded and took shape into an incomparably brutal and bloodthirsty giant warhammer!!
The weapon of slaughter than Zeus personally purchased and gifted his subordinate!
Finally, the properties of this miraculous weapon were exhibited before their eyes.

[ Description: The realm accepts refund of this weapon at a high value ]
The contestants browsed through its description initially with enthusiasm, but were soon dumbfounded...65 points of strength requirement! Moreover, the ability 'Heavy Weapon Mastery' lvl 7! None of them could employ this warhammer, at least not for a long time.
Moments later, under the repeated hastening of the icy looking Zi, the trio eventually boarded that arachnid Overlord.
As the sky begun darkening, they soared towards the direction of the dead corpse, the wealthy young master, Chedeliarchos Skoa.
Presently, Zi had vented her resentment after slaying Yuan Zhan. Thus, she now needed to accomplish her main mission and earn the rights of returning to the realm.
Regardless, even with the addition of Zi, Party Ace's combat power was still vastly insufficient in contesting Glory Party.
Frankly speaking, they managed to eliminate Yuan Zhan and Tolui Helenite because Glory Party wasn't aware of Party Ace's existence. Their deaths would surely invoke a reaction akin to poking a beehive.
Without a doubt, Glory Party wouldn't know the culprits were from Party Ace, nonetheless, they could confirm that Zi had received reinforcements and would surely take a more wary stance in their following activities. Moreover, it would be hard to ascertain the schemes and traps following this.
This could be considered the first time that Zi was riding an arachnid Overlord while fully conscious. Thus, one could observe the wariness and resistive look on her face as she scanned the manifold maroonish flesh vasculars of this Overlord's interior. Furthermore, she couldn't hold onto these organs while flying, and thus looked relatively anxious as well.
Upon noticing Zi's rigid demeanor, Sheyan couldn't resist teasing her to help her relax a little.
"Zi, there isn't a need to worry, I have wonderful news for you."
Zi was currently striving to maintain her straight posture, in order to prevent a tentacle looking 'safety belt' from staining her skin. Upon hearing Sheyan's words, she frowned and asked.
"What?"
Sheyan replied.
"Looking at it now, although some members of the Skull Party are also searching for the amber sequence, I reckon that only a portion of them have accepted this mission. Furthermore, their mission is actually segregated into different side missions. Otherwise, the crucial map pinpointing the location of Chedeliarchos Skoa should be held by their boss, and not recklessly carried around by any subordinate, which led to it falling into our hands."
"So you actually acquired a critical map for their mission?"
After hearing Sheyan's words, Zi exhaled gently and exhibited a tinge of joy on her face. Currently, the pressure on her shoulders was truly immense. If she hadn't encountered the trio, she believed that she would still be struggling on whilst at death's door.
Seeing that Zi's emotions had settled down a little, the trio then produced the battle spoils to distribute. Instead, Zi directly shook her head in rejection.
However, after glancing at that blood weapon, 'All-Conquering Might', she recalled something and hesitantly uttered.
"If I haven't remembered wrongly, because a blood weapon is purchased by a massive load of achievement points, it could also be directly sold to the realm for achievement points...I can see that none of you should be able to employ this weapon for now, why not just exchange it for achievement points to heighten your battle capabilities? I still lack 3 achievement points to promote my 'Skywalker Force's' second tier ability."
"That's possible?" Sheyan asked curiously. "Then how many achievement points can this big guy be exchanged for?"
Zi shook her head.
"Definitely not a full refund, but in accordance to the seller's military rank. The higher one's military rank, the more achievement points will one be refunded. You should be seller. Anyway if I'm not wrong, you are the one who established this Silver Prestige Party, and therefore, you are probably not a Reserve-Duty officer right?"
Sheyan chuckled and didn't answer. Instead, he interacted with the blood weapon and attempted to utilize his military rank authority. Indeed, he then received some notifications.
[ You currently possess a single blood weapon ]
[ Determining: You are incapable of wielding this blood weapon ]
[ You can select the following actions: inquire on the detailed properties of this weapon or sell this weapon ]
Sheyan immediately investigated the selling price and soon received an answer of 37 achievement points. He then passed it to Zi, and she quickly reported that she could sell it for 26 achievement points.
As he observed this weapon, certain doubts surfaced in Sheyan's heart. Honestly speaking, he would be able to sell this weapon back in the nightmare realm for a relatively outstanding valuation.
Even so…...Sheyan thought about their current predicament. To survive in the midst of two major parties clashing, or the possible threat of an Awakener. Once someone perished, all his inheritance would simply be devoured by others.
Thinking of that, Sheyan decided to sell this blood weapon. Furthermore, according to Zi, once she could promote her military rank again, she would be able to enjoy the same privilege of purchasing a blood weapon. Thus, to Sheyan, it also wouldn't be difficult for him to acquire a blood weapon in the future.
Hence, he gritted his teeth and acquired the 37 achievement points. Yet unexpectedly, this transaction also came with 50,000 utility points and 20 potential points. It was truly a pleasant surprise.
Out of the 37 achievement points, Sheyan gifted 3 points to Zi. Besides, she only wanted 3 points.
As for the remaining 34 points, he planned to distribute evenly among Reef and Mogensha. Instead, the two of them declined, citing that they didn't have any outrageous ability that required an excessive amount of achievement points to breakthrough.
Thus, they suggested that Sheyan should invest them on his virus ability. After all, the deadly effects of his pestilences were already engraved deep in their hearts.

Chapter 724: Base 13
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
At present, Sheyan almost fainted from the thrill of having so many achievement points. Right now, there were two options.
The first option was to continue advancing the level of his 'Influenza' virus. According to his previous experiences, since this ability was already level 7, it would soon attain max status.
The second option was to upgrade his second tier ability – 'Bronchitis'. With the achievement points on hand, he should be able to upgrade it to level 4.
In actual fact, this tier 2 ability had already demonstrated its perversive formidability. Although its hemoptysis effect wasn't frequent and its damage relatively low, it had already caused two unfortunate kids to cough to death thus far…...one didn't need to elaborate more on its potency.
After careful contemplations. Sheyan felt that his 'Influenza' virus strain ought to be the foundation for his entire skill tree of pestilences. Clenching his teeth, he proceeded to resolutely advance his tier 1 ability, 'Influenza'.
At present, the 'Influenza' ability was level 7 and he didn't expend much achievement points to raise it to level 8.
On the contrary, to raise it to level 9, it required a full 15 achievement points! This meant that without the discount due to his 'Stairway of the Sun' virus system, this tier 1 ability needed 30 achievement points to upgrade!!!
How horrifying was such a figure!
Nevertheless, Sheyan reaped an astonishing harvest after this horrifying expenditure. Instead of raising from level 8 to 9, it indicated lvlmax!!! Moreover, the properties underwent earth-shuddering changes.
[ Tier 1 ability: Influenza virus lvlmax ]
[ Details: Upon activating this ability, all enemies within a kilometre radius will simultaneously contract the 'Influenza' virus. When the HP of enemies infected by the 'Influenza' virus falls beneath 50%, they will become carriers of the virus, spreading the 'Influenza' virus to enemies within a 200 metres radius of them, even if the enemy is no longer in your contamination zone ]
[ Details: The duration till the outbreak of the 'Influenza' virus is now 30 seconds ]
[ Details: In intervals of 10 seconds, Infected enemies will suffer a 50% probability of sneezing (disrupts casting action/normal attacks), shivering (movement speed decline by 50% for 3 seconds) or headache (mana cost doubled when casting abilities) negative effects ]
[ Details: Whenever an enemy contracts the 'Influenza' virus, you will receive a 5% boost to evasion and movement speed. Duration of 15 seconds and stackable for two times]
[ Details: You can choose to close or activate this branch ability anytime. Activating or closing this ability requires 2 potential points and 1,000 utility points ]
[ Details: After the 30 seconds duration prior to an outbreak, you can now choose the timing to commence the outbreak. However, once the outbreak begins, it will be irreversible ]
[ Details: This branch ability can coexist with other virus type branch abilities ]
Sheyan proceeded to share these attributes to his party channel. While Zi couldn't view anything, both Mogensha and Reef unanimously got a huge shock.
Evidently, the fearsomeness of the lvlmax stage of Sheyan's 'Influenza' ability had surpassed their expectations. A terrifyingly vast contamination zone, shortened outbreak duration from 10 minutes (lvl 1) to merely half a minute, and an outrageous 50% chance of virus symptoms...
Sheyan calculated his remaining achievement points, and realized there was no way for him to upgrade his 'Bronchitis' branch ability to level 4 at one go. Thus, he distributed the remaining achievement points evenly to Reef and Mogensha. They were both overjoyed from receiving 7 achievement points each.
To Sheyan, he was exceedingly clear that greedily devouring all meat for oneself was a primary reason for a party's internal collapse.
The arachnid Overlord's flying speed was fairly quick. Roughly 30 minutes later, the outline of the building that housed the 'exploded head' Chedeliarchos Skoa surfaced before their eyes.
The gang of four then surveyed their surroundings while seated in the Overlord.
As an arachnid Overlord didn't have eyes, it normally perceived its surroundings through soundwaves and heat. Thus, very few concealed creatures could escape the arachnid Overlord's detection.
"There're people in the house." Sheyan abruptly whispered. He placed his hand on the fleshy wall of the arachnid Overlord and shut his eyes. Soon, he could sense several heat emitting lifeforms in the abandoned building. They would occasionally budge and were evidently 'guarding the tree-stump while waiting for rabbits'.
The gang of four then proceeded to scan the area, and confirmed there was no threat of ambush within a 10 kilometres proximity.
Following that, they flow back to the bottom of the building, and dismounted the arachnid Overlord.
With Reef and Sheyan leading the front, the gang slowly crept up the building.
To avoid any illusionary trap, Mogensha specially employed his 'Gold Pearl of the Carribean Sea', and coated himself with a layer of hazy fluorescent. Besides, being prepared was better than doing nothing at all.
In the end, when the contestant quartet were 20 metres away from that room, they immediately casted wry smiles at each other. This was because they could distinctly hear various sounds of grunts and roars echoing from that room, and waves of assailing fishy odour.
As it turns out, the arachnid Overlord didn't probe out an ambush, but a pack of famished creatures who sniffed their way here following the scent of blood and rotting flesh. They were presently feasting when...the gang charged in and swiftly butchered this pack of hyena-like creatures.
In this place permeating with the stench of rot and blood, Zi composedly begun dissecting apart the stomachs of these four hyena-like creatures.
Eventually, she found the most crucial object for the continuation of her main mission – a ruby ring that the late Chedeliarchos Skoa previously wore...this ring was the special insignia of the Chedeliarchos clan.
While wiping off the blood stains on this ring, Zi received a list of notifications. Moments later, her countenance turned increasingly downcast.
Sheyan frowned and inquired.
"Could it be that you have to deliver this ring back to the Chedeliarchos clan? Damn, I heard their territory is like a lion's den with impenetrable walls. Going in is easy but leaving is excruciatingly difficult."
Zi gently shook her head in response.
"No, not that harsh but not that straightforward either. This ring is the key to convincing the Chedeliarchos clan, that their outstanding paleontologist scholar, Mr Skoa, is in our hands. Therefore, we don't have to fight in their main territory, but rather, arrange another location to conduct business with them."
"The crux of the matter is this – what can we use in exchange for that grain of amber?"
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Mr Skoa has been on the 'plane to heaven' for over 48 hours already. Whatever is left of him has become food for these hyenas. Nevertheless, I can offer an insight. Perhaps, we can consider the sequence of events from the cause of Mr Skoa's death?"
Zi furrowed her brows and caressed her loose hair. This action enhanced her gorgeous countenance to a higher degree.
"But, there isn't a single clue!"
"There is." Sheyan smiled and continued.
"Coincidentally, I spent quite some effort in this place. Right now, we ought to find a person named Wester. Perhaps there are many individuals called Mr Wester, but I'm guessing only one or two can be called Lieutenant Colonel Wester."
Without a doubt, Zi's familiarity with this world wasn't inferior to Sheyan's familiarity with the Caribbean Sea world.
Under her guidance, the gang of four swiftly arrived at the outskirts of base thirteen, a strategic city located outside the perimeter of the dinosaur danger zone...….to be more precise, they arrived 20 kilometres away from that place.
Why 20 kilometres away from that strategic city? Of course it wasn't because Zi lost her way, but because the arachnid Overlord was slain.
This Arachnid Overlord was exceptionally loyal to its master. Till its final moment in life, it struggled to slowly descend onto the desert.
A minute later, it rapidly decomposed, turning into air bubbles that evaporated into the atmosphere. 2-3 minutes later, only a 2-3 square metres puddle of brown stain could be seen.
Sheyan could only smile bleakly upon encountering such a situation.
He had overlooked one matter – the arachnid Overlord was similarly a lifeform and required energy replenishments. However, where would Sheyan go to locate an arachnid base or 'creep' carpet to feed it?
Therefore, Sheyan was currently left with a single arachnid Overlord egg, which would only be employed in the most crucial of moments.
The number '13' is an extremely unlucky number in the west, analogous to the number '7' in China; citing an example, the hungry ghost month is also the seventh month.
Base 13 was originally a magnificent and grand military fort. Nevertheless, it was famous for its occasional 'incidents', where events such as fires became nothing out of the ordinary.
After dinosaurs in a region propagated to a certain extent, the amount of food available in the region would become insufficient for them. As such, the dinosaurs would strangely combine their forces and migrate. To date, the base had already experienced three waves of dinosaur migration.
Of course, each migration met with intensive resistance from the military. Nevertheless, the casualty filled dinosaur race would also momentarily escape the vicious cycle of food shortage.
As for the city of base 13, it fell during the second great dinosaur migration. After the base was repaired from the first migration, it never experienced peace anymore. Thus, nobody raised the topic of repairing this base anymore.
As for the dinosaurs, their excitement could only be instigated by edible objects. Hence, the main bulk of buildings of base 13 were preserved. As time went by, the base slowly transformed into a stopover point.
This stopover city was presently flourishing with an estimated population size of over a hundred thousand.
There was a specialty to this place. Civilians would normally take up residence in abandoned military base structures. Moreover, the base also became a storage to an astonishing amount of recreational and tow vehicles. As long as the inhabitants were willing, they could, at anytime, ride their modernized vehicles and disperse in confusion.
Furthermore, underground subway tracks had also been established and connected to this city. One could observe how accessible and convenient it was to travel to this stopover city.

Chapter 725: Perfect Dinocrystal
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Be it those bloodthirsty dinosaurs or government officials, they all felt an extreme headache when dealing with the organized chaos and corruption of base 13. Regardless of any efficient attempt to clean up the city, a single leakage always resulted in the dreadful and unfortunate scene of an empty city with nothing to gain.
Hence, lawlessness ran rampant in this territory.
In this place, money was everything. Nothing here was unpurchasable by merchants, and the merchants were unafraid of hoarding anything as well. The only law here was military might, adequate military might...
Zi appeared to be fairly accustomed to his place. She first halted at a sand dune near the outskirts of base 13 city. After a brief search, she utilized her force energy to flip over a boulder.
Beneath the boulder, was a covered well. Yet upon stepping onto it, it would descend like an elevator.
Only Zi and Archeaphill was aware of this place. A secret cell where upon entry, one could view an array of close to 50 perfect dinocrystals that were glimmering majestically!
In addition to that, numerous special weapons manufactured for hunting dinosaurs could be seen. These were weapons that couldn't be brought out of this world. Hence, they were all stored in this world.
As Zi inspected these objects, she turned vacant momentarily; probably reminiscing her dead comrade who had entered this cell with her previously...
During then, she still possessed an indomitable party, but now, she was a loner. Facing such an overwhelming contrast, one could tell how strong a woman Zi was as she refrained from shedding any tears.
Following that, she casually retrieved about 10 perfect dinocrystals and placed them into her personal storage. The next step was to bring Sheyan and the rest into base 13.
Only back in the peaceful nightmare realm, could one squander a fixed amount of utility points to remodel one's image. Furthermore, the price of remodelling would increase with every time.
Thus, for the sake of masquerading themselves, the contestant quartet resorted to manual makeup to prevent others from recognizing them. Of course, once a fight happens, their symbolic weapons and abilities would immediately betray them.
As an expert in urban warfare, disguising himself was naturally a piece of cake for Brother Black. As for Reef, growing up in a polished culture aided him in the art of masqueration greatly.
In contrast, Sheyan was completely at a loss. His actions were clumsy as he failed in his attempts to mimic the other two in smearing substances onto his face.
While preparing to doll herself up, Zi noticed Sheyan's procrastinating self and stormed over swift and decisively. She frowned and asked.
"What's the matter?"
The impression she released was that of a female chairman noticing a problem in her subordinate's work, and thus heading over to question with a deliberate flare of dignified reprimandation.
Sheyan reclined back and honestly replied.
"My apologies, this makeup stuff is tough."
Zi sighed helplessly addressed Sheyan to sit down. She then bent over and started smearing Sheyan's face with various substances.
Sheyan sat while Zi leaned in to help him, and the distance between them became extremely close. He immediately caught scent of a mild fragrance and obviously wasn't aware that was the poison king perfume by Dior. He could only feel strands of allurement permeating into his inner thoughts, as the enticing fragrance blended with the bodily scent of a female.
Feeling rather unnatural at this moment, he slanted his eyes down only to notice the pristine fair skin near the chest of Zi's stooping posture. Her fair skin was like exquisite and delicate porcelain. He could observe a milky satiny allurement swelling down into a deep crevice, as he immediately felt as though there were ants in his pants.
In contrast, Zi wasn't aware that her scenes of springtime were being divulged. She was always incredibly meticulous in her tasks.
After dolling Sheyan up, she turned to leave. In this moment, Sheyan felt a sense of disappointment and frustration but quickly dispersed such thoughts, warning himself not get involved with such things.
Nevertheless, he could understand the main reason why Zeus was so intoxicated with Zi previously.
The desire to successfully subdue such a haughty and temperamental woman was indeed intensified out of the ordinary.
However, Sheyan firmly believed that Zi was hiding an essential secret with regards to Reef.
To a contestant, feelings and emotions would frequently be tangled up with benefits and interests.
Soon after, the gang of four peacefully slipped into the city of base 13.
While in this area, Zi would casually greet individuals along the way, resembling that of Sheyan's familiarity with Port Royal and Tortuga port.
In this world, the trio had previously acquired some battle spoils. For example, some dinocrystals and that living boss Velociraptor. These objects were all useless to Sheyan and must be exchanged to increase their battle capabilities.
Excluding those, Brother Black was sick of employing those two trashy guns. Furthermore, the 'Peluba Shock Rifle' had bluntly imploded a previous battle, while the vibrations of the 'Shamier Jolting Gun' was starting to affect himself after using it for two times...
Under Zi's recommendations, the gang of four rode a black coach to a particular shop. Sheyan directly offloaded his remaining dinocrystals (he gained some from those Shadowdrill Deinonychus) and that boss Velociraptor. In addition to those two trashy guns, the trio actually managed to acquire an item known as 'Dinosaur Gene Enhancing Dosage'.
This dosage could unexpectedly be injected to receive 3 free attribute points! However, it would only be effective the first time. If used again, it would forcibly reduce basic attribute points instead.
Of course, Sheyan didn't devour this dosage for himself. Zi generously offered two perfect dinocrystals in exchange for another two dosages. After all, the trio rescued her and should have a share of benefits as well. Still, one could tell how valuable those perfect dinocrystals were.
Theoretically speaking, perfect dinocrystals were exceptionally useful can could be described as invaluable. Although some merchants made artificial dinocrystals as well, their valuation, as compared to natural ones, was akin to the difference between heaven and earth.
At this moment, Sheyan was rather puzzled. Since there were merchants creating artificial dinocrystals, why did the price of natural dinocrystals continue inflating? Nevertheless, Zi offered a simple explanation that left him speechless.
"Since there are artificial diamonds in the real world, why is the price of natural diamonds still so exorbitant?"
The shop owner then explained to Sheyan. Artificial dinocrystals contain very limited energy. Just like batteries, they could only be utilized for trivial features. It was a far cry from the standards of natural dinocrystals that could be utilized for extensive endeavours.
The contestant quartet chatted briefly while the shop owner made a phone call. Then, an assistant left for a while before returning, and spoke to Zi in a low tone.
"Beautiful madam, the one you are seek does frequent here often. His primary business partner is the munitions dealer known as Rockzard. I reckon the latest military equipments circulating around is related to him, but it has only been 20 hours since he last visited our turf."
Actually, Zi had harbored a doubtful attitude in gathering intelligence from this place, yet little did she expect, she actually managed to tap onto Lieutenant Colonel Wester's trail here.
Upon hearing this information, Sheyan was stirred and muttered.
"Since he frequently smuggles such striking and bulky goods, there should be a stopover or lodging area."
That assistant glanced at Sheyan but remained silent. Zi then tossed a tiny dinocrystal to him, where he finally whispered with a quick tone.
"If you're looking for Lieutenant Colonel Wester, the package room is definitely in one of Old Hyenna's motel."
Sheyan looked down and indifferently suggested.
"I guess it's time we pay a visit to that place."
Zi nodded and replied.
"Then what're we still waiting for?"
In reality, Old Hyena wasn't an old man, but a thin and bald male. Sporadic bushes of hair scattered throughout his oily and shiny bald head, like stars cupping around the moon. Logically speaking, he should've gotten a shave, but instead, he sorely cherished every strand of hair that was left. Perhaps, it was a fetish for hair. One could simply imagine his appearance, a truly unforgettable appearance.
Furthermore, it wasn't only his comedic exterior. Even his style was equally striking, and practically seem like an old, famished and greedy hyena. Once there was benefits to be gained, he would spare no effort to pounce forward.
When the gang of four spotted Old Hyena, he was presently dozing off serenely on the motel's reception desk.
After the gang strolled to his front, Old Hyena unexpectedly remained asleep. The annoyed Reef then impatiently nudged him slightly.
To his surprise, Old Hyena simply slumped to the ground. His twisted neck immediately indicated he was a dead man!
Noticing this scene, Brother Black reflexively retreated many steps back and quietly vanished into a dark corner. As a marksman, he definitely couldn't reveal himself openly to his opponents. The only way to determine a marksman's position, was by analyzing the direction and timing of his bullets.
On the contrary, Zi snorted and trudged into the motel before the rest. Although she was a mage type Growth-Hunter, she never feared engaging in close combat with her foes.
In spite of that, Reef quickly sprinted ahead of her as he stayed true to his calling as an MT.

Chapter 726: T-Virus...
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Only after Reef and Zi marched 7-8 metres in, did Sheyan jog over after examining the corpse. He then offered his opinion.
"Old Hyena's neck was snapped cleanly, probably done by a single hand action. It's hard to think of normal civilians here possessing such capabilities. Our enemy is likely the members of Skull Party. It's best we don't leave anyone alive should we clash. Fortunately their satellite surveillance system has already been blocked. This is extremely favourable for us."
Zi nodded and flicked her left index finger. Instantly, her revolving rhombus mana crystals halted, and hovered above her with a mystifying stance; as though she had just drew her bowstring. Undoubtedly, once she detects any strange movements, it would spear forth and puncture her foes.
At present, for ease of communication, Sheyan employed his military authority and party leader privilege to pay a fixed fee, and temporarily recruited Zi into his party.
Reef led the way ahead. Sheyan guarded the rear. Zi overlooked from the middle.
A tranquility lingered in this motel, as though all the guests were sound asleep.
The first floor corridor appeared fine, but when they reached the second floor, a scene of bloodstains everywhere, shattered glass shards and shredded clothes greeted their sight.
The most appalling sight was this – multitudes of blood handprints could be seen along the upper portion of the corridor walls. The feeling of incomparable bitterness was palpable as they observed those bloody handprints dragging along stretches of long bloodstains along the wall. One could guess the helplessness and despair of these victims!
Such a scene would be exceedingly alarming to ordinary individuals, but the three contestants had seen all sorts of scenarios already. Hence, they merely heightened their vigilance and callously proceeded. Occasionally, they would exchange several warnings.
All of a sudden, Zi thought of a question as she frowned and turned around. Instead, Sheyan mildly whispered.
"I've investigated. Wester's package room is at the end of the third floor corridor. He's a huge smuggler, renting all four rooms of the third floor, I guess this makes his transactions much easier as well."
They advanced while whispering and quickly reached the third floor.
All of a sudden, the last door of the corridor swung open. Three pale looking males scurried out and hastily locked the door.
They were wearing army officer uniforms but their uniforms were drenched in blood. The blood appeared like it was splattered, which indicated they had probably just gotten reprieve from death.
The leading militant ordered in a defeated and exasperated voice.
"Contact our men at once. Those mutants have started assaulting the military!"
Yet a split second later, an abnormal sound resounded from the door behind. It was an extremely piercing sound, analogous to a knife slowly scraping against glass but filled with a sinister sensation of seeking blood.
More crucially, these rooms were specially refurbished for Lieutenant Colonel Wester. None of them exhibited wooden doors, but instead, sturdy reinforced steel weldings installed with numerous anti-theft systems.
Chi! Chi! Chi! The sounds of a welding torch emitted out alongside fireworks of sparks. Soon after, clear cracks could be seen!
Instantly, deep crevices formed at the surrounding walls alongside dazzling sparks, before the large door distorted halfway and was sent flying like a piece of paper.
As the fumigating brick dust settled, a tall woman clad in skintight black leather marched out. Her frame was larger than average european females and was at least 180 cm tall. She had an ample chest and fertile buttocks. Her sapphire pupils were incredibly abstruse and seemed as though they could see through anyone.
When she lifted her left hand, one could observe an incredibly weird finger cot covering the index finger. The finger cot appeared extremely sharp and diabolical.
As that woman sketched with her finger, visible and unexplainable strands appeared in the air. Those criss-crossing strands emitted a light blue radiance, as they streaked in with matchless velocity before cutting down that military officer.
Those strands were akin to incredibly incisive knives and effortlessly sliced through the officer's waist. That officer couldn't even gasp in pain before the other three criss-crossing streaks flew in and diced his body into eight chunks.
Splitter! Splatter! The chunks of flesh fell to the ground.
Those strands were indescribably hot, when slicing through the officer's body, they cauterized the severed blood vessels and prevented even a drop of blood from dripping out!
Thump! Thump! Thump! Sonorous sounds then echoed out from a nearby room. The sounds sounded like a raging monster was currently decimating the wall partitions of this building.
A second later, the wall was blasted into smithereens as rock fragments scattered everywhere. Then, a gigantic black figure smashed out and pummelled another fleeing officer to the ground.
This black fur of this figure appeared ragged, with maroonish rotting flesh beneath. Sliced off curling tendons could be seen oozing with scarlet bodily fluids. This was truly a repulsive abomination to behold. It possessed razor-sharp claws with a metallic glint.
This beast shockingly looked like a virus infected and decomposing great bear!
Upon witnessing this scene, Zi's expression changed slightly.
"Indeed the Skull Party! Be careful of that bear, it is a summoned beast infected by the T-virus. It'll be huge trouble if you get injured by it. Also, Mogensha, you scout out for the hiding summoner! He is a brat called Plague. I've crossed hands with him before, he is a freaking pest! Refrain at all cost from letting his summoned creatures harm you, and exploit every opportunity presented to pressure him. Otherwise, the pressure will be turned against us."
"T-Virus eh?" Sheyan's eyes flickered upon hearing that. He chortled and mumbled to himself. "Ah, what a familiar term."
At this moment, great bear raised its paw loftily over the grounded officer. Its paw was the size of a palm-leaf yet its black claws were immensely acute. With a single swipe, it ripped through the horrified and shocked countenance of the officer, and tore his brains out along with a regiment of gushing blood.
The infected great bear transformed with added vigour after smelling blood. It then munched down onto the officer's neck and slurped viciously. As this happened, the officer's body rapidly shrunk. Looking closer, the innards of the corpse was actually being corroded at a visible pace before being devoured.
After sucking dry the body, the great bear's mouth split open as though it was smiling malevolently. It revealed a series of countless sharp teeth, a ghastly and shuddering sight to behold. With a single munch, it ludicrously devoured the skin and bones of the officer corpse.
At present, only one officer remained alive.
His complexion was ghastly pale as he panted heavily while sprinting away. He didn't dare to look back, because if he did, the horrifying sight would cause his legs to turn limp and drain away all his will to live!
Yet in this instant, that voluptuous woman sketched with her left index finger again. Those same cutting strands of unparalleled deadliness once again streaked out from her diabolical looking finger cot.
The last officer was about to be diced to pieces.
Prior to that, Sheyan was already swiftly weighing the different factors. He immediately shouted into his party channel.
"Save him and disperse at once. Fighting in this place is disadvantageous to us."
"Mogensha, cover us. Zi, avoid directly clashing with them, it is best you don't reveal your identity."
Zi became momentarily stumped in response. Accustomed to giving orders at this time, she couldn't react in time and was pulled back by Sheyan, before regaining her senses to retreat.
A dull sensation of disappointment filled her heart, yet concurrently at this moment, Reef had activated 'Courage'. He dashed towards that officer and bluntly guarded his front.
Instantly, those terrifyingly sharp strands collided into Reef. Boom! A exceedingly violent explosion erupted which sent Reef flying backwards!
That voluptuous woman was about to pursue, she abruptly flicked her left index!
A fiery streak whizzed in and was about to strike her! Instead, this bullet was sliced into two halves, but out of the blue and soaring in behind that bullet, was a smoking rifle grenade!
Indeed, this was Brother Black's masterpiece!
A rumbling explosion ensued as smoke and fire engulfed the place. When that voluptuous woman resurfaced from the chaos, the gang of four had already rescued the officer and was fleeing 30 metres away.
The voluptuous woman wanted to pursue, but upon noticing the opposing party had three individuals plus a hidden gunman, she didn't dare to recklessly charge in. After all, she was clearly an agile type close combat contestant.
She merely stamped her feet and issued a hoarse but charming cold voice.
"Plague! If you don't act now, this side mission we acquired may be stolen by others!"
Out of the blue, a little girly voice drifted out from beneath the voluptuous woman's feet.
"My Misa is already chasing."
Not too long later, the infected great bear came running back.
One of its front claw was noticeably broken and exposed rotting red flesh beneath and a tinge of its eerie white bone. Its wound appeared fairly smooth which suggested being slashed off by a sharp weapon.
Despite its wounds, dregs of the opponent's flesh could be found on the infected great bear's other paw.

Chapter 727: A-virus vs T-virus
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The great bear idled for several seconds as it communicated with the hidden Plague. Those few dregs of blood dripping flesh on its paw was probably cleaved out from the enemy.
A while later, a chilling laughter drifted in.
"Misa cleaved his chest, very soon and he shall know the price of being clawed by Misa's paw. I'm afraid to even to contestants, the T-Virus remains a terrifyingly grave consequence!"
The voluptuous woman insipidly questioned.
"Are you certain that storyline character has contracted the T-Virus?"
Plague's innocent and unbridled voice drifted out again.
"He should be experiencing the outbreak by now. Why Patrice, you don't believe me?"
Patrice sneered and replied.
"Then what are we still waiting for? Let's head over to the objective at once! You should now, he is presently nearly a thousand kilometres away from us. Worse still, the satellite system that Judas had infiltrated has been blocked for some unknown reason. Our situation is rather awkward now, its best we drive over now."
Plague's girly innocent voice drifted out again.
"There's four of them y'know! Four!!! How many achievement points are they worth? Moreover, it's quite rare that I managed to assemble that many slaves this time, of which a Licker may very well surface. Patrice, just think, how much would their equipments be worth?"
Patrice hesitated slightly but earnestly shook her head.
"No, amongst the four, only the gunner assaulted me while the rest concealed their individual prowess. Furthermore, the brat who rescued the storyline officer is fairly valiant and managed to effortlessly defend against my 'High-Frequency Slicerays', More crucially, don't forget how Drizzt's group fell!"
Plague paused a little before responding.
"However, there's four of them and not three. The infected T-Virus corpse will soon perish. If we don't act now, it'll tough to find a better opportunity."
Instead, Patrice smirked and strolled into the room behind. Her buttocks swayed in accordance to her footsteps, while her flourishing chest bounced distinctly beneath her skintight black leather shirt. Her current image would truly stimulate one's beating heart, a feeling a large frequency could split open her shirt at anytime.
"Plague, you seem to have forgotten that we share a same objective as them! There will absolutely be many present at where Wester is. As long as we can deal with Wester beforehand and then set a trap there, you can even create ten times more zombies. When that time comes, we can slowly lay in wait for them to take the bait..."
Plague then broke into a high pitched laughter.
"I suddenly feel exceptionally satisfied cooperating with you, Patrice. Misa, let's go. We will have sufficient time to set up the battlefield..."
Presently, in a another street, Sheyan was examining his chest wound.
Three vicious claw wounds.
HIs wound was prune coloured but not much blood flowed out. Instead, an extremely sticky deep-yellowish pus oozed out from the middle of his chest. The wound didn't appear like it was festering, but tumours were rampantly saturating the wound like cancer. It was extremely repulsive and queer. The prune colour seemed to be invading deeper into his wound, threatening to take root in his body.
Zi's brows were knitted as she inspected his wound.
"Why're you so reckless? Didn't I say not to let that infected and filthy bear injure you? Hurry up and carve out that portion of your wound! Otherwise, it's gonna be bad."
Although Zi's words sounded pretty stern and condescending, her underlying intentions were clear.
Sheyan's heart warmed slightly and just as he was about to reply, Brother Black strolled over while puffing a cigar and curiously asked.
"Why, he'll turn into a zombie?"
Zi glared at Mogensha and icily chided.
"With Seaman's current state, there's a huge chance of transforming into a tyrant. Hurry up and deal with your wound! Unless you wish to be tortured by the T-Virus for one week."
At this point, Reef abruptly called out.
"Heavens, this dude we rescued has been infected! I reckon he'll zombify within half an hour!"
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"No worries...woah, wait wait wait!!"
As it turns out at this moment, the frosty looking Zi proactively shoved Sheyan to the ground, before she created a 'Force Wall Barrier' to press him down and prevent him from moving. Then, she bent down and pulled out her sharp crescent dagger.
"Oi oi oi, wait, wait, ahh Zi, wait!!" This was Sheyan's first time being oppressed by a woman like that, and couldn't retaliate against the pressure of her 'Force Wall Barrier'.
As he watched her cold shimmering dagger approaching, Sheyan broke out with perspiration and exclaimed.
"Excellent Zi!! Listen to me, listen first!! The T-Virus is actually useless on me."
Zi was immediately stunned.
"How's that possible? Look at your wound..."
Sheyan sighed and answered.
"I purposely suppressed my ability to trick that T-Virus Summoner."
After speaking, Sheyan heaved a deep sigh of relief.
Instantaneously, several cyan vessels around his chest, ones that looked like roots, wriggled out and adhered to his wound. Gradually, the blackness of the T-Virus poison receded and was ultimately utterly consumed.
At present, Zi was staring deep into Sheyan's eyes. "This brat who isn't even a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter, actually hides so many shocking secrets within him!"
A military rank that vastly eclipsed Reserve-Duty Lieutenant Colonel. A Silver Prestige Party. A support but also a formidable innate MT. An individual who can astutely and accurately oversee the grand state of affairs!
All these factors converging into a single human was already frightening. Yet the most astounding thing was, whenever she thought she understood this guy, he would quickly serve her a new shocking fact that would shake her completely.
"Your innate ability is that powerful?" Zi doubtfully asked. "It can even render you immune to the T-Virus?"
Unbeknownst to her, she was edging closer to Sheyan. Sheyan could once again observe her exquisite fair skin but with a tinge of swooning blush. She was really akin to a delicate porcelain that would shatter from a simple breeze. That faint alluring 'Poison girl' perfume scent floated in to complement her bewildered expression.
Seeing such a view, a strange feeling welled up subconsciously within him.
"Ah, well, you can put it that way." Sheyan repressed that otherworldly sensation and indifferently replied.
Following that, Sheyan lifted his head and ordered. "Reef, bring that unlucky brat over, let me see if I can save him."
Reef then brought the military officer over. After a brief inspection, they discovered a wound at this right index finger. Probably because he only received a scrape at the tip of his limb, did he manage to hold off the outbreak till now.
Right now, the officer had already fainted. His lips were dry and his gums exposed. His pupils contracted and bulging cyan veins covered his face like a spiderweb. The rims of his eyes were jet black and even caved in.
Sheyan pondered as he sat beside him. He originally wanted to feed some of his blood to him, but immediately considered the consequence of dispelling the T-Virus, but changing him into an A-Virus host instead.
Eventually, Sheyan grabbed his arm. One could then observe a cyan vessel strangely elongating out from Sheyan's fingertip, before penetrating the officer's wound. This was indeed a vessel from his 'Stairway of the Sun' virus system. As the mother of the progenitor virus, it would probably be a piece of cake to expel the T-Virus for this storyline character.
Five minutes later, the military officer recovered from his critical state. His body temperature stabilized as did his breathing. Nevertheless, he remained slumbering from the excessive damage dealt to his body.
Sadly, the gang of four couldn't afford the luxury of time for him to rest. Thus, they splashed a few cups of alcohol and a basin of icy water on his face, where he instantly jolted awake.
"Let me first introduce myself, I am Seaman." Sheyan was half kneeling beside the dazy looking military officer. "And your name?"
The officer's hazy eyes gradually focused as he finally exclaimed in fear.
"Ahhhhh, holy shit, am I still alive? This is...Major Seaman, I am Captain Miličić! There are a bunch of crazy devils behind! Run!!!"
When the others heard his greeting, they were incomparably baffled. "When did Seaman enlist in this world's military?"
However, they soon understood something. It seems like an official military rank wasn't merely acknowledged in the nightmare realm, but probably in any world as well.
Sheyan pressed Captain Miličić's shoulders and offered with a gentle but powerful tone.
"You are safe, Captain. I've expelled the virus from your body. After a good rest, some whiskey and a roasted chicken sandwich, you'll once again be as strong as an ox. But right now, you must first tell me, where is Lieutenant Colonel Wester? His life is currently in danger!"
Captain Miličić hesitated briefly before replying.
"He just clinched a deal and is currently in Ushuaia converting his profits into gold, diamond and pesos"
Sheyan then glanced at Zi. Shen then nodded gently which signified that she received the relevant notifications to proceed.
Sheyan then continued.
"I need his specific location, tell me at once Captain. You should know how scary those guys are...do you wish for them to find Lieutenant Colonel Wester and torment him in the same way?"
Miličić struggled for a good long while before raspily replying.
"Are you guys military police?"
Sheyan scoffed.
"Can the military police rescue you from those devils? If I were military police, I would be apprehending you and locking you up in the prison right now."

Chapter 728: Quiet arrangements
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Faced with Sheyan's interrogation, Captain Miličić lowered his head, and took a long while before answering reluctantly.
"Ushuaia, City Hall. 3rd avenue on the 12th street. The 7th building, 11th floor, 2nd apartment."
Sheyan glanced at Zi and Zi nodded once again. He then laughed heartily and slapped Captain Miličić's shoulder.
"Well done lad, you can go have your rest now. Oh right, remember to get a nice bath and change to a set of clean clothes. The bloodstains on your uniform may be contaminated!"
Seeing the four humans acquiring the information they wanted but not turning hostile, Miličić immediately calmed down. Without adding a single word, he quickly got rid of his remaining underwear, and didn't forget to offer a polite farewell despite being in an unappropriate state. Afterwards, he rushed towards a dark corner, but after 50-60 metres later, he returned and exclaimed.
"Now I believe you didn't harbour malicious intentions, Major Seaman. Someone will ask for a code at the district entrance, you must answer 'looking for Madam Noah'. If the answer is wrong, Lieutenant Colonel Wester will flee immediately."
Sheyan didn't expect this brat to reserve this hand and smiled.
"Many thanks for your trust, my friend. I promise Wester will be safe."
As if relieved from a huge burden, Miličić finally departed.
Frankly speaking, Sheyan was equally puzzled. Why could Captain Miličić recognize that he was Major Seaman? Yet why didn't Abreu and Ache recognize him?
After careful deliberations, he realized this issue – perhaps it was linked to him spontaneously introducing himself to storyline characters. Abreu and Ache didn't even know his name and naturally didn't dare to ask, obviously they couldn't decipher his well-known reputation.
Zi then interrupted with a calm tone.
"We need to seize the time. Ushuaia is nearly a thousand kilometres from here with at least a stretch of 400 kilometres of desert, making it susceptible to aggression from savage dinosaurs. More crucially, those two members of Skull Party are nearly half an hour ahead of us."
Sheyan chuckled in response.
"Oh, not that long actually. If I were them, there would still be many things I need to do; for example, finding a suitable transport or to ruin other modes of high speed transport that we may use…...these would waste about half an hour of time. According to their plan, we have no choice but to traverse the desert with inefficient vehicles, leaving us pathetically tailing behind."
Just when his words faded, a chain of intensive explosions resounded from the southern region of base 13 city!! In a flash, a blazing red eyed the skies.
Zi naturally remembered that that should be the automobile industry region of base 13 city.
This twist of events instantly caused ripples throughout the entire city. Many civilians believed it was a raid by the military and immediately fled with their personal vehicles. The whole city fell into disarray; like a bowl of boiling soup, it became utterly chaotic.
With such conditions, buying a classic antique vehicle would even cost a massive fee.
Zi couldn't help but anxiously glance at Sheyan with her brows knitted. Yet after noticing his rather confident demeanor, an unspeakable sense of security calmed instantly calmed her mind.
On the contrary, she began to feel fear. She had always been the figurehead and pillar, yet why did she have to rely on others to live now? Thinking of that, memories of her childhood slowly overflowed the depths of her heart and pricked her deeply...
"Oh, it's about 1:17 in the morning, we still have adequate time." Sheyan casually muttered. "Zi, do you have anything else you need to prepare?"
The confused Zi answered.
"Us? Setting off now? Those two from the Skull Party definitely wouldn't leave behind any favourable means of transport! Furthermore, what vehicle can we acquire now...even if we reach our destination, it is impossible to obtain the primary clues. We can't possibly be going by foot right?"
Sheyan smiled lightly and replied.
"Of course not, they're probably thinking we would surely be later than them eh?"
At present, Zi was starting to understand something and nodded.
"That's right."
Sheyan snickered as his eyes turned incisive.
"This coincidentally fits our ideal scenario. In this manner, once we arrive at Ushuaia first, we can establish our sequence of ploys and snares without arousing their suspicions, before…...expanding my next arrangement! This is also the main reason I didn't want a confrontation with them! Of course, I still have several doubts I need to clear up with you. I hope you will answer me honestly, if you can't say, then decline to answer."
Zi indifferently replied.
"Ask."
Sheyan pondered a little before starting.
"Do you still have other forces in this world?"
Zi shook her head and responded despondently.
"Not anymore. I had a friend named Aldaris in Glory Party previously. He was the one who rescued me in the nick of time. However, that led to him being surrounded where he was forced to activate an item to leave this world."
Sheyan nodded and continued.
"Glory Party seems to possess the means to track you down constantly right? Otherwise, your party could've divided and escape."
Zi gritted her teeth and resentfully uttered.
"It's Finarsih, also known as Zeus' eyes. He possesses an exceedingly rare prophesying ability, and issued a prophesying curse on each core member of my party. Hence, he can predict each of our estimated positions periodically."
"Good." Sheyan nodded faintly.
"Finarsih is that brat with the nose ring eh? Very good, wonderful. Things are developing perfectly according to my deduction. Zi, I probably have to exploit your secret cell at the outskirts of base 13 city. Apart from that, we need to make some preparations. There'll be a need for some blood to lure their greedy hearts. As long as the incentives are sufficient, we can muddle their eyes to the danger at hand..."
While speaking, Sheyan shockingly produced two items in his hands.
Two invaluable materials!!
The two 'A' rank materials – 'Shadowdrill Claw' and 'Shadowdrill Deinonychus Blood Crystal'!!
Ten minutes later.
With everything settled, Sheyan assembled with the others.
From his personal storage, he retrieved a basin-sized brown egg. Burying it beneath the ground, he proceeded to water it.
Their current location was relatively remote and nobody witnessed this scene.
Very quickly, a large earthen mound protruded up. The mound even trembled with a rhythmic heartbeat tempo.
Two minutes later, the earthen mound swelled up and fissured with a crackle. A foul stench permeated out with the splatter of fishy fluids.
Once again, an arachnid Overlord surfaced before the contestant quartet.
Sheyan climbed into the hollow cavity of the arachnid Overlord first before the rest slipped in like fishes. The climbing tentacles of the Overlord soon retracted, and this horrifying jellyfish-like gigantic creature that lacked offensive capabilities swiftly floated into the air. Then, it swiftly sped towards the city of Ushuaia.
Sheyan was familiar by now. Allowing this Overlord to fly with rapid velocity would undoubtedly consume a massive amount of its energy. Without any means to replenish the Overlord's energy, this was equivalent to combusting its life force.
Nevertheless, such a flying speed would suffice to cover a thousand kilometres. Of course, if the Overmind or the Mother was present, it would be able to further increase its velocity by 40%.
Meanwhile, the two females of Skull Party, Plague and Patrice, though they possessed the most optimal vehicle with the mightiest horsepower, travelling at 200 km/hour over such a harsh terrain would already be heaven defying.
Anyway, Sheyan believed that after settling the affair with Lieutenant Colonel Wester, he would have at least 2-3 hours left to establish his own plans. In his calculations, such an immense amount of time was surely sufficient.
An hour and fifty minutes later, the gang of four was already exploring the brightly lighted Ushuaia city.
After they had descended onto a forest near a highway, Sheyan brutally abandoned the dying Overlord. In a flash, it dissolved into sticky bodily substance and bubbles.
Henceforth, if he ever wanted to replenish this mode of speedy and environmentally friendly transport, he would have to visit the Starship Troopers World or the Avatar World again.
Without expending much effort, the gang flagged a vehicle along the road and sped off for the third avenue 12th street of Ushuaia City Hall's 3rd avenue.
Upon reaching the destination, Sheyan immediately felt that Lieutenant Colonel Wester was definitely sick of living. The place was utterly devoid of any sense of security.
This was also because this residential area was located in a district analogous to China's government compound. Many government officials lived here while a police station was merely a hundred metres away.
Evidently, should any incident happen, the police could rush over at first notice.
The gang of four alighted at the designated residential house. Following Captain Miličić's instruction, they asked the security guard for Madam Noah.
However, the security guard glared angrily.
Indeed, this was due to the time. It was currently three in the wee hours of the morning! Who would visit at such a time of the day?
"You guys are looking for Madam Noah now?"
The guard's hand reached beneath his desk. The suspicion in his eyes was filled to the maximum. Concurrently, few others who were serving the indoor night shift noticed the situation here and appeared additionally cautious.
Of course, to the gang of four, settling this security guard would be effortless. Instead, Lieutenant Colonel Wester was probably an incredibly cautious fella.
Just in case, inadvertently alerting the enemy would bring about a failure at the final hurdle, but instead create further complications.

At this point, Sheyan stepped forward and showed his face clearly under the illumination of the guardhouse light.
"Hey mateys, I'm Major Seaman, you should recognize me, aye?"
The few guards scrutinized him before whispering to each other.
"Indeed, it's him."
"Hoh, I've heard of his name before."
(Author's note: This is due to legend level 1)
"Heard he did a pretty fine job on the battlefield."
"..."
"..."
That security guard became less stern but still inquired with worry.
"Major sir, I feel bad for asking, but it really isn't a suitable time to patronize Madam Noah in the wee hours of the morning."
Sheyan drooped his face and warned.
"Are you intending to pry into classified military affairs? Should I call for the military police to help me out?"
The guard swallowed his saliva and shrugged his shoulders. Finally, he relented.
The following events were needless to say.
The gang of four didn't bother with knocking on doors. They bluntly climbed to the roof before and then entered by room's balcony. The balcony door was completely devoid of guarding mechanisms.
When Lieutenant Colonel Wester finally felt something was amiss and jolted up from bed, Zi's figure had already vanished from the doorway and into the darkness. When she resurfaced, her crescent dagger was curved around his neck.
This performance caused Sheyan to be rather speechless and even felt a certain misconception. It was as if Zi wasn't a mage type contestant, but an agile close combatant...
Nevertheless, Sheyan knew that her experiences vastly outweigh his. In this cruel realm, relying on exterior looks alone was useless in keeping one alive. This was a woman who strove and succeeded in becoming a party leader, what possibilities could arise if she took a back seat instead?
Sheyan closed the curtains and switched on a lampstand. The light bluntly and directly shone onto Wester's face and revealed his features.
This was a male roughly in his forties. He wasn't muscular, uncommunicative and shrewd as they imagined him to be. Instead, he was a fatty with long sideburns...his belly was as round as a six month pregnancy, and his twin small eyes flickered gloriously.
Wester slowly composed himself, and with the dagger positioned by his neck, he slowly sat up and even lit a cigarette for himself. His tiny eyes filtered around before he spoke.
"Let me guess your intentions? Is it money or the goods? Oh oh! Are y'all here to seek vengeance for Kraam. Yes, fine, I did kill him, but someone else forced me to, I couldn't help it. Besides, he didn't pay us after receiving the goods. Listen, friends, killing me will get you nothing but being hunted down by many others. Why not receive a bag of cash and leave? I guarantee I will not pursue this matter..."
The contestant quartet remained silent. They waited as Wester rambled on for half a day. Sheyan then poured him a glass of water and callously offered.
"Drink, drink and continue speaking."
Instead, the Lieutenant Colonel shut his eyes, but one could see his little eyes shuttering around with doubt.
Soon after, Zi retrieved the ruby ring she harvested from Chedeliarchos Skoa, and tossed it before him. She then icily pronounced.
"Recognize this ring?"
Lieutenant Colonel Wester's complexion immediately turned deathly pale and cried out with a sharp tone.
"You all…..how is this even..? I...I….it wasn't me!!"
Zi remained silent as the atmosphere froze with intensity. One could only hear the distinct sounds of Wester's heavy breathing.
Death and horror gripped his body entirely. Deep down he knew, since these guys were here on the affairs of Chedeliarchos Skoa, his chance of living was incredibly minute.
He could sell himself, but such a condition could be effortlessly met by the Chedeliarchos clan as well. Moreover, he definitely couldn't offer as much benefits as th Chedeliarchos clan could!
Right now, Wester was only hoping for this – "Since they hadn't made a move since they entered, they are surely seeking for something. However, the attitude of silence they are adopting is crushing my mind!"
A full ten minutes elapsed. Wester finally broke the silence.
"Fine, what do y'all want?"
Zi coldly declared.
"Listen up, I'll only give you chance to answer. Should I receive a wrong answer, or that you don't know, you know you will die."
Wester's pupils shifted around uneasily.
"But, how will I know if you'll release me afterwards?"
Zi indifferently replied.
"You have no choice. We may be lying or we may not be lying. if you don't answer, you will surely die. If you answer, you still have a shot at surviving. I will ask you now."
Wester casted a bleak smile and replied.
"Okay, ask."
Zi straightforwardly asked.
"Though Chedeliarchos Skoa is an aristocratic wastrel, he is still a learned paleontologist. Alas, his prodigal reputation totally covers this gifted aspect of his. But I know with great certainty, the dinosaur gene carrier, the mosquito embedded in that amber, was in Skoa's hands. However, there wasn't a grain of amber found on his corpse, I would like to know where may it be."
When Wester heard this question, he clearly released a sigh of relief and answered.
"That grain of amber is presently with Hammond. You must know him right? The father of dinosaurs of the legends, the creator of Jurassic Park. Yet bankrupt ever since the park was overrun. But a year ago, he seeked me out and was willing to pay an exorbitant price to procure that grain of amber once again. Coincidentally, I was planning an operation on Chedeliarchos Skoa then, and thus accepted his offer."
Zi emotionlessly replied.
"What you're implying is…..you murdered Skoa for another reason and snagged the amber along the way?"
"Yes." Wester beamed with helplessness. "Of course, I can tell you my objective for seeking our Mister Chedeliarchos Skoa as well, however, y'all best prepare to be hunted down at anytime."
Sheyan abruptly interrupted.
"Don't ramble.Wester, how can I verify what you're saying is true?"
Wester immediately replied.
"I record all my conversations with others."
After speaking, Wester picked up a slipper. The gang naturally wasn't worried about him pulling a trick. Wester then slapped the slipper against the wall. There was probably a chip inserted beneath his slipper which triggered a mechanism. Soon after, Wester retrieved a handphone from beneath his bed, and pressed a few buttons before a voice drifted out.
"I'm Hammond, I need that amber."
"Doctor Hammond? Woah, since you're being so frank, I'll cut to the chase as well. After my investigations, I conclude that the grain of amber you want is with Chedeliarchos Skoa. It'll be difficult to extract it from him."
"Listen, Lieutenant Colonel, those big boys of the Cretaceous era are already showing signs of evolution. They should be now slowly mutating into new variations. There will come a day, the human race will perish under their claws and fangs. Therefore, we must eradicate them now before our race becomes extinct."
"Doctor Hammond, I'm sorry but I don't really understand you. Moreover, what is the link between those darn green lizards as this amber?"
"You aren't aware? The dinosaur gene stems from a droplet of blood from the mosquito in the ember. I need that amber to continue research on the blood. Perhaps, I can find a flaw in the dinosaur gene! If I succeed, we can completely eradicate them before they mutate and complement any genetic deficit. It'll be as simple as pesticide fogging mosquitoes."
"Hey, Doctor Hammond. You should know international calls are expensive, therefore let's be frank here, how much are you willing to offer for that amber. That amber should be just like a toy to the only heir of the Chedeliarchos clan."
"...…."
"..."
:
Sheyan glanced at the nodding Zi.
She then shared the notifications she received into the party channel.
[ You receive relevant crucial information ]
[ Main Mission modified: Please retrieve the prime story item from Hammond – the Mosquito Amber! ]
[ Warning: If Hammond successfully publicises his research on the 'Mosquito Amber', it will lead to terribly dire consequences. It can easily lead to a development of a cheap method to annihilate even the deadliest colossal dinosaurs, leading to the collapse of the whole Jurassic world ]
[ Details: You have 48 hours to complete this mission ]
[ Warning: Mission failure will lead to a 33% penalty of all basic attributes, and prohibited entry of all future Jurassic Park Worlds ]
Zi softly muttered.
"Hammond is now a public figure. He should be easy to locate and 48 hours should suffice."
Sheyan nodded and fished out a 'Perfect Dinocrystal' he took from Zi's secret cell.
He then offered it to Lieutenant Colonel Wester.
"This is your remuneration, but I will need to borrow your apartment. In addition to that, you will board a transport and never cease to move for the next 48 hours. Believe it or not, but count it as I've warned you. Also, let me introduce myself, I am Seaman."
Wester brazenly received that single 'Perfect Dinocrystal'. He then carefully sized up Sheyan before earnestly exclaiming.
"So it's you, Major Seaman. I've read about you in my reports before. Since that's the case, then I shall believe you this time. I can bring my personal belongings right?"
"Not an issue." Sheyan replied.
"Also, you best stay as hidden as possible, the less eyes on you, the better."

Chapter 730: Large handwriting
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Two hours later, a land rover that covered in dust pulled over by the entrance of the neighbourhood.
The voluptuous Patrice extended her ravishing long legs out of the rover. A pair of scarlet red high-heeled shoes and sexy black stockings stepped onto the ground. Swaying her perky buttocks, she sauntered to the security guard. Her outfit was truly blazing, to phrase it crudely, in order to glimpse her underwear, one needed to viciously pry apart her ample butt cheeks...
As usual, she surfaced alone. Plague was nowhere in sight but concealed somewhere in the darkness. This venomous hearted summoner with a girly voice never showed herself, even during operations, she remained noiseless and furtive like a bat.
Strangely, the loyal and disciplined security guard that was stationed by the entrance was nowhere to be seen. Instead, one of those brats from the night shift was still present and was currently lying on the desk, probably dozing off from the weariness of the night.
Patrice snickered to herself as she strolled into the residence with her swaying twin peaks up high.
Their plan was undoubtedly to play it big. At present, passerbys in this tiny neighborhood had been steadily infected by the T-Virus. Just half an hour later, and the population of this place would transform into Plague's most lethal weapons! As for the team that was on their heels (referring to Sheyan and company), they would soon be converted into achievement points, equipments and a puddle of blood.
Everything was exceedingly normal, everything was going accordance to the script they wrote beforehand.
Facing Wester's residence door, Patrice carved out distinct light strands with her finger cot, unleashing 'High-Frequency Slicerays' as they sliced apart the lock noiselessly.
Patrice then quietly trudged in. Her current dressing exhibited her as an alluring milky cow, but yet her movements were as nimble and sharp like a cat.
In the blink of an eye, Patrice had rummaged through every corner of the apartment, and couldn't help but curse, "f*" as her countenance turned gloomy.
Everything was as usual, the only difference was, not a single person was present in this apartment.
"Could it be we've gotten a counterfeit report?" Patrice felt a chill in her heart and decided to swiftly scan the place again. Then, she discovered several fishy aspects.
The bathtub was still wet and warm and a dull cigar aroma lingered in the living room, where cigarette ashes could be found on the ground. Traces of alcohol stains could be seen on the glass on the coffee table while a roasted pizza slice could be seen in the microwave...
"Hmm, he probably rushed out in a hurry." Patrice came to this conclusion. After pondering a little, he pressed the voicemail button of the house phone.
"David dear, how many days has it been, someone has been thinking of you till her fingers are numb you know...seventy percent discount going on for this big boobs club hn."
Patrice's appearance resembled a big boobs club as well, but her expression darkened as she listened to that seductive voice as well. She immediately pressed next.
"This is Kewell insurance at your service. Have you ever wondered that life is always filled with danger and insecurity..."
Patrice immediately pressed next. Very quickly, she found the recording she wanted.
"Oi Wester, I admit that has been certain grievances between us, but I promise that this job will earn your forgiveness. We've found a vital object linked to those mysterious mutants! To them, its value surpassed an entire city. I know you're a blunt man, therefore, to express my sincerity, I'm offering you a deposit first and you can conduct it as you deem fit. I'll be waiting for your answer on the web. Trust me, tis' a job even the devil's eyes would pop out for from envy!"
Hearing this, Patrice immediately glanced towards the main bedroom. She then noticed a super-computer and instantly exclaimed.
"Hoi Plague, it's time you surface, look what interesting news I've found. These storyline characters actually managed to obtain an object vital to us!"
In spite of that, Plague remained hidden as her crisp kiddy voice resounded out.
"I feel that our mission is more pressing, we should clarify where our target went first."
Patrice responded with annoyance.
"Of course, we will. But do you need that long to settle a bloody computer? I just want to see what object they think is vital to us, perhaps by hacking the computer, we can find Wester's whereabouts as well. You never know, Wester may suddenly return home as well."
"Ah, fine, fine. You always seem to be able to drill logic into me."
Very quickly, Plague surfaced before the super-computer. Her body was wrapped in bandages like a mummy. The bandages were filthy, sturdy and filled with pus and blood stains. from her exterior, one couldn't tell if she was male or female, but merely a skinny little 7-8 year old kid.
After booting up the computer, Plague started hammering the keyboard.
Three minutes later, her voice rung out with a solemn tone.
"Patrice, your intuition is truly frightening. Wester seems to be playing it big this time. Do you know what fix deposit that guy offered?"
Patrice revealed her pearly white teeth and chortled.
"I just knew I had a keen sense of intuition. Quick tell me, my lovely Plague."
Plague answered her with the most direct of methods. With a few clicks of the keyboard, an image was projected before Patrice.
Instantly, Patrice sucked in a breath of chilling air.
"10 pieces...of perfect dinocrystals!!! That is enough to exchange for the summit grade dinosaur gene dosage!! Ah shit, that signifies 30 free attribute points!"
Plague rigidly replied.
"Moreover, such valuable objects are merely the deposit…...Patrice, I really am exceptionally curious as to what 'vital' object those guys are referring to. Oh hoh, a firewall protection, does he think this can stump me?"
Time rapidly trickled away.
All of a sudden, Plague released a joyous shriek! Her tone immediately turned deep and low.
"Breached. Now let us see what it holds."
After hammering the keyboard a few more times, the image of a lightless black rock was displayed on the screen.
The two exchanged glances and uttered.
"You recognize what is that?"
"I don't."
"Me neither, but this thing looks excessively bulky, it can be anything."
As she spoke, Plague's eyes didn't wander away from the screen. Suddenly, she clenched her teeth and squeaked.
"Nevertheless, we will soon know what it is, because…...Wester didn't bring it along with him!!!"
Patrice immediately understood Plague's underlying meaning and inhaled deeply.
"You're saying, when he left in a hurry, he left all these objects at home?"
"That's correct. That mysterious Mister A is probably ironing out the details with Wester. Furthermore, Mister A seems to be in possession of more of such objects, that black stone should merely be a specimen, where Wester is likely relying on his connections to find a major client for Mister A..."
"Then what we still waiting for?" Patrice revealed a bewitching smirk. "Although we aren't adept in finding secret mechanisms, it wouldn't take much time to tear apart this apartment."
Crash! Crash!
Rumble! Boom! Crash...
Under the tyrannical violence of Patrice, Wester's master bedroom was rapidly demolished into a garbage dump with dust settling everywhere...
"Wait! Something seems to be fishy." Plague abruptly exclaimed.
Evidently, her observational skills was more elaborate and managed to discover a mechanism; the mechanism activated by Wester's slipper.
"Ah, how secretive! It can actually be designed like this."
A second later, Patrice's silver finger cot ripped out a stand of light in the air. A 'High-Frequency Sliceray' collided against the wall, as she attempted to resolve all complications with brute force.
The next second, a secret safe greeted their eyes.
Cash, gold and gems failed to attract their gazes, but instead a single pouch. Upon opening the pouch, 10 majestically twinkling 'Perfect Dinocrystals' could be seen!!
The two reached forth simultaneously, each grabbing one side of the pouch.
The two then offered a wry smile to each other. In the end, a contract was formed and they split it 50-50...
Next, a case beneath the pouch quickly attracted their attention. They once again reached forth unanimously, and both weren't willing to relent.
The two girls glared at each other before simultaneously counting to three and opening the case together.
Following that, they each shot forth a finger and pressed down onto an unremarkable looking black stone.
"Ah!!!!!!!!!"
"Hol!!!!!!!"
The first voice belonged to Patrice. Her high pitch scream sounded as though she had first taken cocaine, before mingling and finally achieving a never-ending orgasm.
The second voice belonged to Plague. The sharpness of her cry was as though someone had dismembered all her limbs and rubbed table salt over.
"Ne-neglect…... material that neglects defense, true damages! Ah, a worth can seemingly surmount dark-gold grade equipments!"
A silent tranquility followed the conclusion of both screams.
A deathly stillness akin to a morgue lingered in this dilapidated looking room.
Within an instance, the atmosphere seemed to have froze with swords drawn and bows bent. One could even imagine the sounds of ice cubes freezing.
A saturation of killing intent...

Chapter 731: Smells of conspiracy
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Plague, wait a moment..." Patrice ordered with austerity.
"I know comrades and friends are meant to be betrayed and exploited, but only when sufficient reasoning is established. If you turn against me now, then you are truly a massive moron!"
Plague remained quiet but retreated into the shadows. Her frame could seemingly and peculiarly blend into the darkness.
Patrice continued.
"You just told me, this item is merely a sample. Do you know what a sample is? If you don't, let me google it for you…..a 'sample', a smidgen used to represent the quality goods. Perhaps it was drawn from the batch of goods for advertising purposes, or perhaps, it be just a prototype that was introduced before the rest. A sample used to indicate the standard of the load of true products!!!"
When Plague heard the terms 'quality goods' and 'load of true products', she immediately left the shadows. Employing an adorable but silly 'lolita' voice, she squealed pitifully.
"Sister Patrice, I know the error of my ways, don't ignore me okay?"
Instead, Patrice coldly replied.
"We should inform the boss at once. Don't look at me with that disgusting expression, this is my first warning to you. I'm not a silly ass but you are behaving like a dumb bitch that is blinded by greed. Tell me, do we possess the capabilities to deal with a tier-5 legendary creature?"
Plague paused hesitantly before her voice turned raspy.
"Yes, with the suitable place and time."
"What about two?" Patrice questioned.
Plague bluntly answered.
"Nah."
Patrice then coldly continued.
"According to prior statistics, a dark-gold grade equipment may drop for every 4-5 tier-5 legendary creature."
Plague kept silent for a brief while before asking.
"What are you trying to say?"
Patrice answered without hesitation.
"Tell me, what is the common nature of the realm?"
Plague was then enlightened.
"The larger the risk, the greater the reward."
Patrice sternly continued.
"If we can accomplish this matter, then I'm guessing we'll acquire at least ten pieces; pieces equivalent to dark-gold grade equipments! Such a bountiful reward. Thus, haven't you considered the risk we'll have to face? This probably indicates an immense risk of facing tens of tier-5 legendary creature. Regardless how plentiful the rewards are, it'd be worthless to a dead man."
Plague contemplated deeply but still felt rather unresigned.
"But we acquired these crystals and item without facing any risk!"
Patrice snorted and replied.
"This the realm tempting us with a compensation for forsaking the mission regarding the 'Mosquito Amber'! Do you think that after encountering such information, would we care about whatever amber or mosquito? Right now, you should continue digging for information from the computer. We must definitely identify their transaction venue and time!"
Plague became speechless and started searching for more relevant information. Concurrently, Patrice strolled out and made an emergency call to Skull.
Moments later, Patrice returned with Skull's orders.
Plague was to forcibly retract her disseminated T-Virus and prevent Wester from suspecting anything, which could lead to that mysterious Mr 'A' terminating the transaction.
Secondly, Patrice must immediately head over to stall the delayed group of contestants that were similarly seeking out Wester. They absolutely couldn't allow for side issues to arise at this moment. She just needed to drag for two hours and reinforcements would arrive!
Meanwhile, Plague also managed to discover the meeting venue and time – Ushuaia Downtown Plaza basement two, Target Cafe. The deal was set to happen within 10 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon.
At present, there were still 6-10 hours left.
Upon viewing this information, Plague's lips curled into a relieved smirk. Still, she felt rather puzzled by this meeting; why wasn't it a fixed timing but a range?
Nevertheless, she quickly ignored her thoughts and concentrated her focus onto the 'goods' that Patrice mentioned earlier. The more she pondered, the more she realized how logical her reasoning was. Attempting to swallow such a grand amount of fortune would be virtually impossible.
The despicable realm wouldn't act so cordially. Moreover, Boss Skull was a rather impartial person. Since they made a big contribution to this matter, they would be able to receive a an invaluable portion; perhaps even more materials equivalent to dark-gold grade equipments!
Reflecting on that, Plague heated up with passion and immediately reported her findings.
Following that, Skull directly expressed that once he arrived, he would dispatch men to monitor whole vicinity of Ushuaia Downtown Plaza!
Meanwhile, Zi's secret cell at the outskirts of base 13 city.
The Metals Professor and company had actually discovered the secret cell.
Theoretically speaking, the cell should've been disguised meticulously, except, a pack of famished hyena like creatures had cleverly sniffed out the exposed entrance.
Prior to that, learning from the mistakes of Yuan Zhan and Tolui Helenite, the Metals Professor and company had started proceeding with great caution. Yet, the strange sight of a pack of hyena like creatures crowding around a boulder instantly aroused their attention.
Upon entering Zi's secret cell, they immediately noticed a puddle of vomit and blood. Evidently, it was this puddle that lured these hyenas here.
Proceeding from there, to their pleasant surprise, they discovered tens of 'Perfect Dinocrystals' in this secret cell. Furthermore, there were even a few outstanding dinosaur-hunting weapons that couldn't be brought out of this world.
Without a doubt, they had stumbled on an accidental fortune.
After carefully rummaging around, their spirits rose as Sable, following Zi's habits, unexpectedly found an Ipad she used in this world. From there, they managed to acquire the locations of three other secret cells.
This discovery was indeed a pleasant surprise to Glory Party.
To the Metals Professor, chasing her nemesis around like a dog and casually digging mouseholes along the way for profit, was truly a carefree and relaxed sensation...
In this instant, the Metals Professor also received a message from Prophet Finarsih – "Zi is currently in Ushuaia, but Zeus also warns that the members of Skull Party are displaying abnormal movements."
A side note, Glory Party's current transmission method was at the expense of Finarsih's mana. Moreover, their method fundamentally required a notebook, as messages were detailed in morse code, meaning it was unidirectional and required translating.
This communication method seemed rather backward, but it was still constantly employed by Zeus. This was because during the earlier phase of many contestants, many parties were already utilizing phones of the respective world for communication. There were rare cases of special abilities assisting foes in tapping on another's messages which led to the annihilation of a party.
"Zi can really flee, she actually fled a thousand kilometres away." The Metals Professor sneered but gritted her pearly white teeth simultaneously. Her dark green pupils flashes with ecstacy and venom.
"Perhaps she's digging another secret cell there. I'm really looking forward to what surprises Ushuaia will bring us."
When the others heard her words, they laughed in unison.
The Metals Professor then inquired.
"Old Fat, aren't you familiar with Base 13. It's four in the morning, are we able to reach there by ten?"
The illusory master, Old Fat, contemplated a little before answering.
"I'm afraid not. Some accident happened and it's hard to find a good transport in Base 13 now. I suggest first finding a normal vehicle and driving to checkpoint Luke, which is a 100 kilometres from here. We should be able to find a suitable high-speed vehicle for this terrain. I can estimate we'll reach our destination around noon."
The Metals Professor smirked.
"Very well. Once we arrive at Ushuaia, we'll immediately rush to her secret cell and catch the mouse in the mousehole. Oh I love to drown and roast the pesky mouse before seizing it. Sable, where's Zi's secret cell in Ushuaia?"
Sable checked Zi's Ipad before slowly announcing out.
"Ushuaia Downtown Plaza basement two, a cafe called Target."
"Actually, my plan is full of flaws." Sheyan rubbed his chin and lazily uttered.
"Nonetheless, I am 70 percent confident they will take the bait."
At present, the gang of four was idling in Ushuaia's tallest building, Teliga Telecommunications Tower.
The rooftop of Teliga Telecommunications Tower housed a revolving western restaurant. Sitting by the window with coffee, tea and professional service, one could overlook the entire city; especially, a panoramic view of the Downtown Plaza.
Besides, Teliga Telecommunications Tower was merely a straight 3 kilometres away from Ushuaia Downtown Plaza.
Presently, Zi, Reef and Brother Black were leaning lackadaisically against a soft high-back chair and enjoying coffee. It was rare for the contestant quartet to find such solace.
"Flaws?" Zi reflected on his words before speaking.
"Indeed. Our mystery man's arranged time of meeting with Wester is obviously a flaw – around ten in the morning to one in the afternoon. Furthermore, how can it be that Wester's computer offered such complete information. Apart from that, discovering Base 13's secret cell is too excessively coincidental, and why would the Ipad I carry with me be there and coincidentally contain other locations? Why not remember it by heart?"
"Therefore, we needed to sacrifice blood." Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and swapped to a confident tone.
"A whole load of blood."
"Only by inducing greed with such generous profits, can we mask all logic and sight. Only the drive of generous profits, can one make excuses for distinct flaws."
Sheyan sincerely declared.
"Give them a desire and it breeds expectancy. Naturally, the subconscious mind fears shattering this hope."

Chapter 732: Before the collision

Reef was deeply moved by Sheyan's words and muttered.
"Indeed, many extraordinarily clumsy swingers succeed due to their incredibly lucrative bait, thus causing many to disregard the clear warnings. This situation is rather common in the real world as well."
Sheyan laughed and continued.
"Honestly speaking, the flaws aren't that inexcusable. If we consider the various aforementioned flaws, we can still find a reasonable explanation for them."
"For instance, the flaw of the meeting's time. Many scenarios can lead to this, for example, the mysterious man was unsure whether his flight would be delayed, or perhaps he is merely an untrusting individual thus issued a time range instead."
"The excessive information on Wester's computer can be explained by the fact he normally uses the internet for active communication. Moreover, his computer is protected by a military grade firewall and thus wasn't worried about any leakage of information."
"The locations on Zi's ipad could be explained by Zi's personality being analogous to a lil' rodent like animals; frequently scampering into severely dangerous places, and thus digging holes in every world to store up some reserves. Therefore, it would be a chore to remember the locations of each secret cell..."
"Oi oi oi, what lil' rodent like animals." Zi stared at Sheyan icily with a sense of dissatisfaction. One could even notice a glint of force gathering in her palms!
Sheyan hastily released two dry coughs and corrected himself.
"Typo, typo. Wait no, just a slip of the tongue!"
Zi rolled her eyes at him as her lips slanted down slightly. Her expression of a smile yet not a smile contained a rarely seen enchantment to it. This expression was indeed a fairly rare sight coming from ex-party leader Zi.
Yet in the next moment, Sheyan recalled that even the haughty and impressive Zeus couldn't contain Zi, and thus, immediately sipped his coffee and diverted the topic.
"Even if my plan fails, it'll still cause both parties to turn wary like birds startled by a mere twang of the bow. It will still be favourable for our next step. Hence right now, we must think of how to seize the 'Mosquito Amber' from Hammond."
Brother Black doubtfully suggested.
"He shouldn't possess any superpower right, then the difficulty would be merely the guards around him eh."
Sheyan shook his head with a grim countenance.
"Not true. I reckon the 'Mosquito Amber' is truly with Hammond, thus, this should be the final hurdle for Zi's main mission. But speaking in perspective of progressive main missions, its difficulty should inevitably amplify incrementally. Moreover, since they displayed the generous rewards in advance, the difficulty absolutely isn't negligible. Very likely, it ranks amongst the class of hidden main missions. Do you still remember our experience in the Caribbean Sea World?"
"Also, the realm won't randomly alter the storyline or a storyline character's ability. This implies that Hammond is most likely just an ordinary mortal. Thus, the biggest resistance to acquiring the 'Mosquito Amber', should reside in finding him."
Reef doubtfully interrupted.
"In view of our capabilities, wouldn't finding an ordinary person be fairly simple?"
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"Not necessarily. If he is hiding in the White House, would we dare to pay our compliments? Moreover, this world's weapon system is exceptionally advanced, eliminating us isn't an issue. On the contrary, if Mr Hammond really flees to the White House, I will feel more at ease..."
Zi's curved brows knitted as she spoke up.
"I understand what you mean. After getting his hands on the 'Mosquito Amber', Hammond's goal is to analyze that primogenitor blood and create a chemical weapon that can easily eradicate all dinosaurs. However, there is now an industrial era of dinocrystals which doesn't seem inferior at all to the oil or diamond industry."
"Therefore, Hammond's objective is akin to causing all oil fields in the world to dry up. It'll undoubtedly incite the public's fury. As such, Hammond will surely desire for a safe and secured infrastructure that will prevent disruptions to his research. Going by this, a place that satisfies this condition is pretty arduous to find...could it be, you're worried that he'll run to that place?"
Sheyan nodded as he gravely answered.
"Correct, the same place where the story originated. Basically, the most dangerous place in this world! Jurassic Park! Regardless of how the story became modified by you guys, Jurassic Park is still Hammond's creation. After all, he is hailed as the father of dinosaurs."
"For a man of his calibre, it'll be easy for him to find a few assistants and return to Jurassic Park. He can just proceed with experimenting with the dinosaur hormones, while the facilities in the park should be relatively intact. In contrast, for us to capture him now, the difficulty we will face...….is likely to be insane. Putting it bluntly, under normal circumstances, an Awakener would be needed to guarantee success."
Zi clasped her coffee mug with her slender and fair fingers, and lifted it for an elegant sip before speaking.
"Your conjecture is quite logical, but you omitted one fact. We aren't there to slaughter Awakener level dinosaurs but merely, to infiltrate their territory and steal something from an ordinary old man. This disparity is substantial."
Sheyan paused briefly before refuting.
"Yes, but..."
When speaking till here, Sheyan abruptly sealed his mouth.
This was because Sheyan noticed something.
On the rooftop garden of a five-star grand hotel two hundred metres from here, an individual had suddenly emerged.
Instead, the revolving restaurant was situated a few couple dozen metres higher than the rooftop garden. This prosperous restaurant was constantly revolving slowly, making it hard for that individual to notice the gang of four. Instead, it would be relatively simple for Sheyan and company to spy on him, because at this time, there were only a measly few guests on the hotel's rooftop garden.
This was a skinny and tall brat whose head was adorned with an adidas headband. He carried a brown backpack and appeared like a typical tourist. However, when he retrieved a tiny hollow straw in his mouth…...an incomparably incisive air of danger instantly exuberated out from him!
It was as though anyone would get injured just by looking at him!
"Zi, you recognize him?" Sheyan raised his coffee mug to his lips and expressionlessly whispered.
Zi added a sugar cube in her coffee mug and stirred it gently with a spoon. The spoon occasionally clinked against the coffee mug's surface. As she glanced at that individual, she insipidly announced.
"Yes, he's from Skull Party and should be a relatively terrifying peak Growth-Hunter."
Sheyan then glanced at the main clock of this restaurant. The clock hands were pointing at 3 minutes to noon.
His eyes squinted as he pronounced.
"Ah, I can't wait...Zi, if Fu Lyanna encounters imminent fatal danger, would Zeus risk himself to rescue her?"
The two names, Fu Lyanna and Zeus, were a taboo to Zi. Nevertheless, Sheyan just had to bring them up.
Zi instantly transformed into a icy beauty who lived in glacial mountains, her eyes flickered coldly as she scoffed.
"No idea."
Sheyan smiled and jested.
"But if it were you in Fu Lyanna's shoes, would Zeus come?"
Zi instantly bit her lips and issued a deep tone after a long while.
"Shut up!"
"Something's happening!" Brother Black's eyesight was the best. Of course, he interrupted to break the awkward atmosphere as well.
Only Sheyan knew why he purposely rubbed Zi's wound. Some matters could be kept in the heart while some cannot. Just like the death of a former comrade, if one allowed sorrow to continue fermenting in the heart, one would end up with extremely severe psychological damage.
Zi was fine now while being occupied in this trial of life and death. Yet once the calm after the storm ensues, that was when the greatest hurt would erupt.
At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn away by Brother Black.
Amidst the Downtown Plaza below, although the Metals Professor and her group had disguised themselves, the combined imposing aura they exuded was out of the ordinary. Sable was currently leading the way.
Witnessing this scene, Sheyan's lips curled into a smirk. He could pretty much predict a reaction from Skull Party soon.
They had cordoned off and have been monitoring this area and unexpectedly, came a bunch from Glory Party. Yes, even an average person could understand what was going on.
Those scums from Glory Party must've received intelligence on the impending transaction to be held in the Target Cafe! Otherwise, what would they be here for?
In such a scenario, the members of Skull Party would continue hiding patiently in the shadows, and take this opportunity to keep tabs on their opponent. Then, when the mysterious dealer and buyer arrives, they would capture everything in one fell swoop; killing two birds with one stone!
Nevertheless, they only had specific information on Wester. Without Wester showing himself, they would have to continue waiting.
In contrast, the Metals Professor and group wasn't going to maintain this peaceful status quo, because, they weren't aware of whatever dog shit transaction. Instead, they were here in search of a nonexistent secret cell.
The members of Glory Party obviously weren't courteous professionals. When searching for the secret cell, a crude commotion definitely couldn't be avoided. With a commotion resembling that of a demolishing flat, without a doubt, the mysterious dealer and Wester would be scared silly and thus, sensing something was amiss and call off the meeting.
Thus, the group from Glory Party would've pricked the reverse scales of Skull Party.

Chapter 733: Skull's path
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Events unfolded very naturally as the Metals Professor and company wreaked havoc at the cafe. A search transpired into a series of vile behavior, which incited a massive and unruly riot; flocks of humans came pouring out of the area in an unprecedented panic, while many busy-body passersby crowded the surroundings as they attempted to peep and add oil to the commotion.
This scene coincidentally fit the description of 'wanting to enter but unable to, wanting to leave but failing to'. Multitudes of desperate individuals were shoving around, jumping over masonry borders of shrubs and flowers, or blatantly splashing through decorative fountains and ponds to escape. Fortunately, Target Cafe was located at basement two and people couldn't jump down through the windows...
However, amidst the chaos, one could noticeably observe a few individuals blatantly shuffling through the crowd. They squeezed through the crowd as though the human obstacles weren't worth mentioning, and appeared like a heated knife cutting through butter.
Meanwhile, Sheyan suddenly asked Zi.
"What is the degree of Zeus' current prowess? Zi?"
Zi paused for a while before unenthusiastically responding.
"He should've already broken through the boundary of a Growth-Hunter."
Sheyan squinted his eyes and inquired again.
"Wouldn't this mean…...the Skull Party is destined for a massive defeat?"
Zi shook her head in response.
"The commander of Skull Party, Skull, is a mystifying and unknown card. I've crossed hands with him before, hmph hmph, he took my 'Force Wall' as though it was a gentle brush."
Speaking till here, Zi glanced at Sheyan with a look of amusement. Evidently, she just remembered the first time she encountered Sheyan, where a single 'Force Collision Wall' struck him to half dead state.
Sheyan's lips twitched slightly as he recalled that scene, in contrast to Zi's sneering looking.
She gracefully lifted her coffee mug and took another sip, while her eyes flickered with anticipation.
"A clash between Zeus and Skull...that should aid you and Reef greatly right. By watching them battle, it'll aid you in making a conclusive decision for your future path. Ah, strictly speaking, the benefits of spectating this battle is not inferior to a silver storyline grade equipment."
"That...should be Skull."
On a main road leading to the plaza's exterior, a Harley-Davidson motorbike zoomed in with a thunderous rumbling that brimmed with rampant arrogance. Large clouds of black fog puffed out of its exhaust, as the Harley-Davidson motorbike accelerated bombastically before executing a drift and halting in the middle of the plaza.
A brawny male hopped off the motorbike. Every movement he made carried a taste of steel and blood, as his feet trampled deep into the concrete road. Fragments of tar sprayed out from the impact and struck against unlucky passerbys, wounding them gravely and even causing fatal casualties on the spot!
This man of steel and blood then sauntered into the building and towards the cafe, while scanning across with a chilling gaze of explosive fury.
Several members of Skull Party started assembling behind him as they awaited Skull's callous command.
"Since some foolish Glory Party lackeys have decided to scare our prey, they shall replace them. Their lives and honor will suffice to compensate us."
Although Sheyan and his group were pretty distanced from the plaza, as the schemers behind this conspiracy, they had long prepared the plaza and placed spyware equipment around the vicinity of the cafe.
Hence, they could safely survey the scene while lowering the chances of being discovered by enemies with outstanding perceptive sense.
At this moment, the Metals Professor marched out from the Target Cafe. She released a sharp laughter and scoffed.
"What shameless boasting!"
In response, Skull laughed crazily with his head looking towards the sky. Then, he abruptly cut his laughter and boomed awe-inspiringly.
"Splendid, simply marvellous. Judas! Where's Zeus?"
A short old man proceeded to fish out a clock looking object and observed it for a while.
"Currently still around the outskirts of Jurassic Park."
Skull sinisterly continued.
"So, I'm afraid even retrieving your corpses would be an extravagant hope for Zeus after he rushes here."
Upon completing his statement, Skull produced a pair of metallic boots that shimmered with a deep blue brilliance from his personal storage. Evidently, its value wasn't just an ordinary dark-blue grade equipment.
Following that, a flabbergasting scene occured.
Kacha! Kacha! This male unexpectedly enlarged his mouth and devoured the metallic boots with a few chomps! His expression didn't appear as though he was eating a pair of boots, but a jam biscuit.
After devouring the boots, the nightmare imprint in the middle of Skull's brows emitted an incomparably glaring shine!
In a flash, Skull's body mass amplified by several folds and his feet sunk further into the solid concrete ground with crackling sounds; sinking all the way till knee deep!
Two deep blue metallic glows beamed out from Skull's nightmare imprint before linking with two other members beside him!
The beams were seemingly channeling an unknown source incessantly to them, and instantaneously, two sets of deep blue metallic armour shockingly coated the peripheries of the two individuals. Both armours were laced with sharp spikes and one could imagine how indomitable their defenses were.
The two members immediately charged towards the Target Cafe!
Simultaneously, a barrage of coordinated and incredibly powerful assaults struck them. These assaults were undoubtedly unleashed by the members of Glory Party. Similarly, one could imagine how deadly these assaults were.
However, the two Skull Party aggressors looked as if they didn't sustain much damages, and only the blue metal armour coating them was blasted into scattering fragments. Nevertheless, the two deep blue beams from Skull's forehead continued linking to their bodies, and appeared to be restoring their metal armours.
Viewing this scene, both Sheyan and Reef were stunned! Under Skull's enhancement, those two Growth-Hunters could actually fight evenly the bunch of Glory Party members!
How terrifying was his buffing ability? Was this the true extent of an MT's capabilities? Also, what was Zi referring to when she mentioned the path of an MT?
Meanwhile, seeing that their comrades had created an opening, the other Skull Party members charged forth unanimously.
Encountering this predicament, the Metals Professor released a sharp order, as they members of Glory Party quickly withdrew up to basement one of the building.
In this instant, Sheyan noticed that as the distance between Skull and the two members widened, the linking deep blue beam turned relatively thin as though it could break anytime. Furthermore, the metal armour coating the two contestants became covered densely with cracks and looked to be disintegrating soon.
Observing that, Skull cumbersomely pulled out both feet and strode deeper into the building with a speed slower than average humans. Every step he made caused chunks of cement to disperse as his feet sank knee-deep into the ground.
As Skull closed in gap between his two comrades, the two connecting beams regained their usual state. Evidently, the beaming link between Skull and his subordinates didn't possess infinite distance, and was restricted to a fixed proximity.
Alas, the Glory Party members were like mouses in a mousehole without an exit. Although Skull's advancing pace was pathetically slow, it was akin to forcing them into their graves with every step.
All of a sudden, the air around Skull suddenly and strangely rippled like a passing heat wave!
Right now, his party members were all swarming the cafe building and not a single person remained around Skull. Thus, it represented that he would've to fend for himself for this short duration.
In the next second, an incomparably incisive dagger pierced out from nowhere, directly thrusting for Skull's throat.
With both his feet still rooted in the ground, Skull naturally couldn't dodge in time.
Hence, he lazily reached out his hand to block. When the incisive dagger stabbed Skull's hand, it merely scraped out a streak of sparks against a sudden coat of metal over Skull's hand.
In spite of that, this randomly appearing assassin attacked with miraculously rapid pace, releasing another 5-6 stabs in a flash. The last stab even carved out a mirage of a twinkling ivory tooth as it drilled a deep wound into Skull's shoulder, causing blood to pour out instantly.
"Good move, relieving his allies by attacking the enemy's home base." Brother Black praised and continued. "Zi, you must recognize him eh?"
Zi calmly replied.
"Of course, that is Demondream's master, Yake. Rumoured as a man who dances on sword tips, Demondream has never won against him. Hmph, but trying to reverse the situation with just him? Simply impossible. An MT exists for the sole reason of tanking damage for his team, regardless of how powerful Yake's assaults are, he cannot do much to Skull within such a short span of time. On the contrary, he may slip up and die instead!"
Just as Zi's words faded, a 'corpse' lying not too far from Skull abruptly jolted up. Indeed, this 'corpse' was the voluptuous Patrice!
She actually possessed such a unique ability of disguise. Just moments prior to this, she resembled a dead corpse sprawled on the ground with no abnormalities.
Her lips curled into a cold sneer as her left finger flashed with a mournful streak. A 'High-Frequency Sliceray' swerved out from her scorpion tail like finger cot and headed straight for Yake!
Relying on her abrupt appearance, the angle and speed of Patrice's 'High-Frequency Sliceray' was extremely craftly and was simply unavoidable for Yake.
Concurrently, Skull punched forth viciously with his steel fist towards Yake! A dull glow condensed even condensed around his first, which either added an immeasurable killing force to it, or an disastrously vile negative effect!

Chapter 734: Chaotic fight
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yet in this crucial instance, Yake's figure emanated a fuzziness and within a split second, his figure unexpectedly dispersed with a 'shua' into three identical Yakes!
Patrice's 'High-Frequence Sliceray' slashed through one of the Yakes which directly displayed a virtual image dispersing. Evidently, she had struck an illusion.
Meanwhile, Skull's fist accelerated forth with explosiveness and issued a thunderous boom, before colliding into the chest of another Yake.
In this moment, though Yake didn't receive any direct damages, he was blasted by a surge of explosive aura. As though constricted by a rope, he lost his balance and crashed miserably to the ground before rolling for a full 20 metres; his body scraping pitifully across the rough edges of the ground as fresh blood oozed out from the cuts.
"It didn't look like Skull's fist deals any direct damage but is only used to repel the enemy faraway." Reef earnestly concluded.
Zi added indifferently.
"Obviously. When an MT appears, he'll most likely become the focus of fire. With every passing second an MT can remain in the battlefield, the benefits he supplies will carry on for that second; after all, victory or defeat can be determined by just a single second. Thus, the MT's ability should allow him to live as long as possible, even for an offensive nature ability, it should still follow this principle!"
As Yake rolled on the ground with unwavering momentum, he finally collided into a sculpture in the midst of the plaza; causing the sculpture to crumble instantly.
Concurrently, Patrice drew the air with her finger cot and instantly, six streaks of criss-crossing 'High-Frequency Slicerays' volleyed rapidly towards Yake.
Immediately, Yake forced himself back up as he reached out both hands to intersect Patrice's attack.
Ding! Ding! Dang! Dang! With his ten figures all spreaded out, one could hear thumping collisions as though glass pearls colliding into each other.
Closely after, a regiment of grey radiance swiftly appeared amidst Yake's hands. That radiance resembled a cocoon with a pliable but strong surface, and one could discretely notice red glows attempting to pervade out from within.
Then, Yake spat a mouthful of blood onto that greyish radiating cocoon!
After absorbing blood, the greyish radiance gradually dimmed and dispersed into powder form, before contributing to air pollution instead of falling to the ground. Instead, the fledgling within was swiftly revealed. A frame, coated in gold with many interwoven engravings, appearing like a peerlessly gorgeous and exquisite art piece.
In the middle of this frame, was a red crystal mirror that seemingly contained an absorbing visual effect in it. By looking into it, one would feel like he was staring into the deep ocean. Although this red crystal mirror was merely twenty centimetres in diameter, its depth couldn't be seen through but issued a dazzling blurriness instead. Enhanced by its prestigious crown like golden frame, the mirror appeared mystifying yet serene; hiding an untold and shocking power!
"That's Yake's ultimate rank 6 max ability! 'Crimson Ashes'!" Zi coldly announced.
Sheyan noticed her tone contained a fuming rage within, and figured she had suffered terribly under this ability before.
In the next instant, the six 'High-Frequency Slicerays' reached Yake but were abruptly swallowed by Yake's boundless vortex mirror!
"That formidable?" Mogensha blurted reflexively. "His mirror can actually absorb all attacks?"
"No, only long-range assaults." Zi's voice turned frostier. "Except...it absolutely isn't a simple absorption like what you think!"
Evidently, Patricewas extremely surprised by this whereby a speckle of brilliance flickered on her finger cot. A golden eagle phantom could be seen floating behind her, which was probably the accumulation of her next ability strike.
Instead, Yake's mirror radiated and unexpectedly released six 'High-Frequency Slicerays' in the next second back at Patrice. However, this time, those 'High-Frequency Slicerays' were dyed with a crimson luster, making them appear like six blazing streaks.
In the midst of channeling her next ability, Patrice could only issue a scream and forcibly disrupt her ability before darting to the side.
Yet after she darted away, those six blazing 'High-Frequency Slicerays' whizzed in straight for Skull.
Undoubtedly, Skull's mobility remained tragically slow and couldn't dodge in time.
Thus, an incredibly intense explosion occurred, as a fiery inferno engulfed Skull and eventually left a tiny mushroom cloud of ashes in the aftermath.
After the ashes dispersed completely, one could see Skull's charred face as he guarded his head with both arms. Although embers remained burning his body, he glared at Yake with venomous austerity.
"The 'Crimson Ashes' eh? I had my eyes on you since the last battle. What a pain in the arse for my subordinates eh, today will be the day you die!"
While Skull uttered the phrase 'day you die', the gang of four was concurrently observing the individual spying from the rooftop garden of the opposite hotel building.
His aura suddenly rose dramatically as he crouched by the garden porch, and aimed the pipe in his mouth towards Yake. Then, his cheeks swelled up before releasing a gentle blow!
Instantly, a sharp object, bundled with a fingernail-sized glow, whizzed out from his blowpipe.
That object wasn't visually fanciful nor did it release an ear-piercing rumbling sounds. If one must describe its feature, then it was only the light 'Chi' sound it emitted.
Like a thin silver needle, the glowing object hauled a long stretch of light ray which couldn't be differentiated under the glare of the sunlight.
The entire process of ejecting this blowdart seemed utterly insignificant.
Though this hidden individual was blessed with a panoramic view of half the plaza, he actually couldn't observe Yake directly, but was blocked by two shorter buildings, trees, rocks and many random concrete obstacles. Nevertheless, he wasn't aiming at the opponent with his line of sight but through the eyes of his comrade.
As for the blowdart he released, it actually disregarded all concrete obstructions; be it grand buildings, steel, trees or the air, it disregarded them all, vaporizing a tiny needle hole as it punctured through all blocking objects.
The damage of this blowdart wasn't high, so much so that it could be considered weak. The only thing unique about it was its ability to bypass and puncture through all things within a two kilometres effective range. Rocks, trees, water, air, human bodies...it would never fail to leave behind a minute hole.
Despite that, this blowdart resulted in different unique effects from striking different parts of the opponent.
A: Piercing the opponent's leg, the opponent's movement speed would plunge substantially.
B: Piercing the opponent's chest, the opponent would be silenced for 15 seconds, not being able to use any ability or item.
C: Piercing the opponent's head, the opponent would be stunned for three seconds.
The most outrageous aspect was if an opponent receives three consecutive blow darts at the same area within a short duration of time. His HP would instantly drop by 33%! Of course, this effect was ineffective against storyline characters, but would still deal an astonishing amount of damage.
In a flash, Yake's chest was penetrated by that single blowdart. He was instantly silenced of all his abilities and items for 15 seconds.
Right at this moment, Skull revealed a sinister smirk as the 'comrade enhancing' deep blue beam shooting out of his forehead abruptly converged onto Patrice instead!
Consecutively, many nearby corpses unexpectedly jolted and scrambled up. Very evidently, Plague, who could vanish or appear unpredictably, had acted and assembled her zombie army to strike alongside Patrice.
In a sudden twist of events, now Patrice, 'blowdart', Plague and Skull were ganging up on a single Yake!
Although Yake was similarly a powerful Growth-Hunter, he still couldn't sustain for even a minute and died tragically on scene.
Thus, the first to fall of Glory Party emerged.
Concurrently as Yake was perishing, the blowdart male looked rather exhausted from his ability and hastily drank down mouthfuls of drink to quickly recover his MP.
All of a sudden, a fiery bullet kissed his head. His entire body rattled and broke the railing as he directly fell off the building.
From afar, a few incredibly arrogant gunshots echoed in.
While falling in mid air with a face full of blood, that blowdart male received three consecutive bullets. Although he attempted to wriggle himself to retaliate, he utterly failed to decipher the orientation of the hidden aggressor!!!!
When the fourth gunshot resounded, Zi's bodd abruptly trembled as she mumbled word by word.
"It's Aziz. Indeed, it's him, he finally showed up!"
Upon hearing Aziz's name, Brother Black subconsciously clenched his coffee mug handle tightly. Crackling sounds emitted from it as clear cracks could be seen.

Chapter 735: Zeus's path
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Nothing strange happened as Aziz's fourth bullet whizzed in.
However, ten metres away from hitting the blowdart male, the whirling bullet conjured out an image of a diabolical direwolf.
Its mouth drenched with blood, the direwolf pounced forth in mid-air and viciously munched the blowdart male's neck. With a ferocious twist, it ripped out flesh and blood as it devoured his life.
The blowdart male was still living prior to falling off the building. Yet upon landing, he shockingly crashed down as a non-discountable dead man.
With a deflated long howl, the direwolf vanished into thin air.
One could observe how extraordinarily impressive Aziz's offense was!
As the discrete second figurehead of Glory Party, he was indeed worthy of his reputation.
Yet despite his overwhelming offense, as time dragged on, he still failed to close up the disparity between both parties.
It was easy to differentiate the disparity between individual formidability and party formidability. Speaking in terms of football clubs, could a single Lionel Messi carry Argentina to world victory? Or in terms of basketball clubs, could one Kobe Bryant win against a full NBA team?
Thus, as time dragged on, the Metals Professor and her group was forced to the third floor; the highest floor and also the parking area. They were trapped in an impasse and casualties were bound to rapidly surface.
The individuals who followed the Metals Professor were practically mostly elites sent to restrain Zi, yet little did they know, two of them would first be eliminated by Sheyan and gang while the rest would suffer an utter tragedy here.
Calculating in terms of Glory Party's diminishing combat capabilities as more fell in this world, they had plummeted to nearly a third of their original party's strength!
If all of them were to be annihilated by Skull Party, then Glory Party's prowess would definitely not even possess a third of their original might.
Meanwhile, as she spectated her enemy's extermination, Zi didn't appear very happy.
As Sheyan glanced from his angle, he could observe a dull and worried expression; one that contained a fear for the unknown future.
Sensing Sheyan's gaze, Zi abruptly swung around and scoffed.
"You're thinking I'm too soft?"
Sheyan chuckled in response.
"You're a woman."
There was an unspoken but vivid implication in his words, to which Zi sighed and replied.
"Wait until you become an official Growth-Hunter, then you will know how I feel today."
Sheyan was about to answer but he noticed Zi's sudden frown.
"Such a powerful spatial ripple...could it be, Fu Lyanna is this crazy, she actually dares to summon the 'Arbitrary Door' ?"
Sheyan and the others weren't mage type contestants like Zi and couldn't sense any spatial ripple. Nevertheless, they could clearly observe a strange oddity occuring in the surrounding space.
For example, tiny vortexes started swirling in their idle coffee mugs, while a crushed up bill had randomly floated into the air.
A faint humming rung in their ears as though an airplane was about to land…...
Sheyan then asked.
"Zi, can your 'Skywalker Force, Strands of Time' ability disrupt the ripples?"
Zi gazed deep into his eyes as she clutched her silver dagger with her slender fair fingers.
"I'm not sure but I can try."
Sheyan pondered a little before earnestly replying.
"There isn't a need to. Weakening Glory Party to this extent has already met our current objectives, they will probably not pose a massive threat to use anymore. What good will it be if they lose any more? Rather than shaving off more members, why not let Skull and Zeus duel each other!"
After pensively thinking, Reef then interrupted.
"I agree with what Zi said previously. If we can spectate their fight, the knowledge we'll acquire wouldn't be inferior to a silver storyline grade equipment. Let Zeus come, let us witness all his aces!"
"Zeus is here." Mogensha abruptly blurted.
Under the Metals Professor's guidance, a queer blue line sliced through the air in front of her out of nowhere. The blue line then expanded before one could distinctly observe two hands strenuously attempting to push through. Gradually, an unstable radiance that could accommodate the size of one human was formed.
The next second, a figure stode out.
This wasn't a herculean looking figure but could only be described as pretty large. Still, his countenance released a pair of eagle eyes looking out for its wolf pack. It was as though everyone would crowd around him and accept his leadership.
"That must be Zeus eh?" Sheyan calmly muttered.
Zi nodded emotionlessly.
Following that, other subordinates swarmed out of the 'Arbitrary Door' like fishes and the last to exit the door was 'nose-ring' Finarsih.
When Finarsih stepped out, he very bluntly vomited a mouthful of blood before passing out. Sprawled to the ground without a hint of mobility, it was obvious Zi was right; summoning the 'Arbitrary Door' was indeed immensely taxing!
Zeus surveyed his surroundings with an ashen expression. Evidently, he could sense that the grievous rate of casualty of his party had eclipsed his imagination.
Right in this instant, Skull marched in like a pile driver. With every slow step he took, chunks of rock and cement scattered as he ascended to the third floor.
The two stared at each other.
Raging sparks could be seen between the gazes of the two invincible MTs.
"Your guys...have contributed a total of 12 achievement points, a dark-gold grade equipment and a silver storyline grade equipment to us." Skill mocked with a tinge of sincerity on his metallic shimmering face as he continued.
"Although this is far from the compensation we should receive but I have to admit, Zeus, you and your party have truly been generous."
Zeus apathetically replied.
"Your greatest forte is still your mouth, Skull. It seems the lesson you received the previous time was far from enough."
While speaking, Zeus's left arm muscles swelled intensely and ripped apart the sleeves. One could see cyan snake-like veins meandering along his arms as it displayed a deformed vigor.
In a split second, Zeus's left arm smashed down onto the ground like a pile driver; drilling deep into the concrete floor like a hot knife cutting through butter, all the way till his elbow drilled in.
Strangely, the fragmented cement didn't scatter from the impact but instead, congregated fiercely towards his elbow. It was as though a certain sticky but unyielding liquid was formed, as Zeus's left arm released an inexhaustible attraction force, sucking all the concrete fragments onto his arm.
Then with a mighty pull, Zeus pulled his left arm out with a sonorous crunch!
This time, rocks sprayed out as dust pervaded the air. One could now observe a massive pit in the ground before him.
A layer of large concrete rocks now bundled around Zeus's left arm, causing it to be exceptionally gigantic.
Concurrently, the nightmare imprint at his chest emitted a piercing brilliance. Similar to Skull, two dusky grey beams then shot out from his nightmare imprint!
In contrast, the two beams didn't link with anyone. Instead, a beam shot towards the ground beneath Glory Party and the other beneath the members of Skull Party.
Vividly seen, those grey beams created a forty square metre dull greyish zone where they landed.
Like a swarm of bees, the members of Glory Party rushed towards their dull grey zone.
As for the members of Skull Party, they begun segregated as speedily attempted to escape they dull grey zone on their side.
Nevertheless, Zeus could control the positions of his dusky grey beams. Like stage lights, he managed to encompass at least 5-6 members within his dull grey zone.
One could clearly notice, the members of Glory Party moved with a distinctively accelerated speed in their dull grey zone. In contrast, Skull Party members had their movement speed severely impaired within the dull grey zone.
The two Growth-Hunters, who caused Glory Party to suffer dearly after being buffed by Skull, would have no choice but to enter a dull grey zone to besiege their Glory Party foes. Alas, their speed would fall drastically inside the grey zone while their opponents' speed would amplify wondrously.
Moments later, they were battered miserably and wanted to exchange damage for damage wasn't a possibility as well.
Yet the most astounding fact was this. Even bullets that entered Zeus's grey zones had their velocity slowed.
Sheyan even witnessed the mage type Metals Professor effortlessly shielding herself from several bullets in her face. The slow bullets were easily deflected by her magic wand.
Upon viewing the shock in Sheyan's and Reef's eyes, Zi solemnly announced.
"That is Zeus's MT ability known as 'Gravity Rule'.
His allies would receive movement speed bonus in his gravity domains, while his foes would suffer movement and attack speed decline.
At this moment, someone attempted to assault Zeus.
Obviously, Zeus's movement speed had also plunged significantly, but he simply blocked with his rocky left arm; it was essentially like an impregnable barrier!
The effects of Skull Party's attack on him was oddly poor as well.
Sheyan sunk into silence for a brief while before saying.
"I can now roughly understand the key constitutions of an MT."
"Firstly, an official MT possesses an ability that can greatly strengthen his comrades or weaken his foes. This ability definitely carries an outstanding precedence, and its effects would be extremely shocking."
"Next, when an MT demonstrates that ability, he will have to pay a definite price. For example, the glow on his nightmare imprint will clearly reveal his position, or he will experience a massive plunge his movement speed; perhaps, even being incapable of walking!"
"Thus when that happens, enemies will undoubtedly focus fire on the MT. Why so? Because the MT is a living target practice. A clear target that cannot move, one that can only endure damage and also the most crucial core of the party. Once the opposing MT falls, the party would achieve overwhelming superiority!"

Chapter 736: Both sides suffer

Zi then added.
"Guys, don't ever forget that both Skull and Zeus are just beginners of this phase. If Skull can upgrade his ability to a higher level, he'll transform into a metalloid; substantially reducing damage dealt to himself and possibly buffing every member with a dark metal armour!"
"If Zeus's ability can be upgraded to the highest level, he'll turn into a golem himself. Perhaps, he'll be able to shoot out eight rays of gravitational rays that encompass 500 square metres. He can easily envelop opposing parties in gravity zones or abruptly remove gravity to cause opponents to float up! An incomparably master of displacement."
Reef was currently spectating silently, and finally spoke after hearing Zi's speech.
"Looking at the situation now, Skull's MT ability can only be used on his own comrades while Zeus can use his both offensively and defensively. Delving deeper, Skull's ability also requires a permanent equipment sacrifice. Seems like Zeus's ability is stronger."
Zi shook her head in response.
"Not necessarily, even though Skull sacrifices an equipment, he may not need to spend anything else. Furthermore, the better the equipment consumed, the longer the MT ability will last. Perhaps, the quality of armour he bestows onto his comrades is related with the grade of equipment consumed; sacrificing a dark-gold grade equipment in exchange for a dark-gold metal armour. Moreover, you'll realize this after crossing hands with the contestants enhanced by Skull; the metal armour he conjures actually strengthens all aspects. The greatest strengthening is survivability, followed by movement speed, attack speed and others."
"In comparison, Zeus's MT requires achievement points, utility points and potential points to activate once. The wastage of both side is nearly identical but Zeus's ability is more focused towards agility only."
"Thinking in this perspective, both abilities have the same starting point despite their immense differences. The reason you guys think Zeus is superior is due to the narrow area skewing more to his advantage. If that was a broad battlefield, Zeus's gravity influence would minimally be reduced by half."
Sheyan doubtfully surveyed the fight before abruptly inquiring.
"What, you are saying an MT's path…..is chosen by the realm when one advances to an Awakener?"
Zi hesitated slightly before softly answering.
"In most cases...yes."
"Meaning there are some rare cases that differs?" Sheyan captured the underlying meaning beneath Zi's words.
Instead, Zi kept quiet and continued sipping from her coffee mug. Evidently, she wasn't willing to delve more into this topic.
At present, subtle deviations were occurring throughout the battle scene. After Zeus's appearance, his gravity zones effectively guarded his subordinates and prevented the two metal armoured, close combat Growth-Hunters from achieving anything.
As for combatants utilizing arrows or darts, their barrages of projectiles were undoubtedly slowed by the sphere of gravity and failed to threaten.
If Skull Party had more powerful extremely longe-range combatants, they could still bomb indiscriminately into the gravity zone of Glory Party and perhaps achieve some success. Alas, Glory Party possessed the redoubtable Aziz!
After assassinating the blowdart male, Aziz had redirected his focus and unexpectedly managed to suppress three members of Skull Party; leaving 'markswoman' Tristana, 'unpredictably vanishing' Plague, and Patrice gasping for breath!
Furthermore, he still managed to manifest his existence to other fighting members of Skull Party once in a while.
Under the terrifying shadow of Aziz, how formidable could the long-range combatants of Skull Party compare with?
As he witnessed his scene, Sheyan inscribed two names on the coffee table – 'Finarsih' and 'Aziz'.
To him, only those two could be hailed as Zeus's left and right arms. In order to strike down Glory Party, both individuals must definitely be eliminated. It was hard to tell if they were fortunate or unlucky to have their names noted down by Sheyan...
Time swiftly trickled away.
Even though both parties were focusing fire on the MTs, the Skull Party actually occupied the manpower advantage. Thus, after seizing a wonderful opportunity, a five men combined assault succeeded in slaying another contestant of Glory Party.
However, in that same instance, two bullets from Aziz whizzed in with a phantom of colossal snow-wolves.
The first bullet rampantly chewed Plague out from her hiding void, while the other directly shot Tristana into a near-death state. Thus, members of Skull Party had no choice but to deviate their attention to aid them.
Zues quickly ordered the Metals Professor to unleash her horrifying 'Metallic Tempest' upon identifying this opportunity. With this move, he succeeded in breaking through this 'execution ground' and fled the parking area.
In this situation, the Glory Party now had ample space to escape while defending.
Meanwhile, Skull was exceedingly clear that persisting in pursuit would inevitably lead to a terrible fiasco of a war of attrition. Any party of the nightmare realm definitely wouldn't wish to land into such fighting circumstance, even if their party leader had gone crazy, the members absolutely wouldn't accord.
After several attempts of 'probing' offenses, both Zeus and Skull lost their will to continue battling.
Both leaders soon led their parties, each respectively to the north and south, before disappearing into the distant.
Meanwhile, was Sheyan squinting his eyes with a peculiar glint as he observed them leaving.
Zi glanced at him and insipidly uttered.
"Do you feel extremely dejected? Similar to an MT but unable to stand toe to toe with them. Actually, there isn't a need to undervalue yourself. As a contestant, you are already doing a pretty remarkable job, as long as you have ample time..."
Sheyan chuckled and abruptly refuted.
"Your words are wrong from the beginning. Firstly, why should I feel dejected? Even right now, I dare to confront Zeus! Perhaps I can't cope against him, but he can't do much to me either! Secondly, you seem to be forgetting who was it that masterminded this double-side defeat fiasco. No matter how indomitable one is, without a brain for resourcefulness, what can power amount to?"
Zi offered an indifferent smile but refrained from arguing with Sheyan. Clearly, she was rather thrown off by his attitude.
Nevertheless, she noticed both Reef's and Mogensha's gaze.
Gazes that shockingly displayed unwavering certainty in Sheyan's words!
Waves of tremor shook Zi's heart as she failed to repress a notion from welling up her heart.
"Could it be he meant what he said???? How...how's that possible?! A mere contestant dares to contend against the might of an Awakener MT?!"
A moment later, she realized Sheyan created a surprise in her once again. He was truly an existence that broke common sense. It was like an indescribable bewildering fog enshrouded him. Whenever she felt like she had uncovered a layer of fog to see through the real him, she would soon discover that another layer of fog was still masking him...
"Let's go.' Sheyan scanned the chaotic plaza once again before gently ordering.
"Our harvest today is sufficient. Oh yeah, for our next step, we need to gather detailed information on Hammond. Although we can now roughly deduce he is residing in Jurassic Park, we must still amass more information to make adequate preparations. Recklessly wandering into that ghost island would be akin to committing suicide!"
Hence, the contestant quartet proceeded to board the elevator down.
Inside the high-speed elevator.
The sophisticated Zi couldn't resist her urge to question Sheyan.
"Seaman, exactly what ability are you relying on to have such confidence in contesting Skull and Zeus?"
Sheyan burst into jubilant laughter as he answered.
"I was just kidding, you actually believed me a casual joke. Zi, you must've been cheated by others before right?"
"YOU...…"
Sheyan's last phrase contained a double underlying meaning. Asking a woman if she had been cheated before...it was truly an inappropriate statement.
Zi's skin was fair and a blush had surfaced on her cheeks that would take one's breath away. Nobody could tell if it was embarrassment or frustration as she glanced away and ignored him.
Three hours later, the gang of four arrived at Stormfold City.
This was a metropolis nearest to the dinosaur disaster zone. There were three airports and the city was flourishing greatly.
Originally, it had been a medium sized city, but when the dinosaurs came ashore, the government rapidly intervened to develop the scale to leverage on the introduction of dinocrystals. Factories for processing dinosaur leather and other dinosaur related affairs quickly sprouted one after the other. Very quickly, the city expanded and became the largest metropolis in this world.
Presently, above 70% of all dinosaur research facilities were located in this city. As for the Hammond whom the gang was looking for, he was previously a vice head engineer of the Sando TeraTech Company and was in charge of the research on cultivating dinosaur hereditary.
The headquarters of the Sando TeraTech Company was a tremendous 43 storeys building.
The first twenty storeys had rather relaxed security but from then onwards the security became insanely tight with various high tech installations supporting it.
According to Zi's report, weaponry such as laser channels that could threaten a contestant's life were prevalent. Moreover, the guards were equipped with special weapons used for dealing with dinosaurs and were extremely hard to deal with.
Thus, attempting to barge in would be out of the question, and wanted to acquire any intelligence would be impossible.
After some contemplations, Sheyan asked if Zi was relatively familiar with any storyline character here. Zi then brought the gang to a Korean BBQ restaurant.
After entering the BBQ restaurant, they took the elevator to basement three.
The basement was actually a black market workshop for dinosaur meat and reeked of an exceedingly rich blood stench. Many workers were chopping dinosaur meat and sprinkling all sorts of repulsive condiments like Meat tenderizers, reused cooking oil, Sudan Red G and others….

Chapter 737: Tracking down with clues
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Inside the headquarters of this black market, a plump black female placed her hands by her hips as she shouted loudly. It was as though she wouldn't hesitate to swing her butcher's knife at any lowly worker who slackened off...
Clearly, her shouts were rather effective. Whenever a name was exposed, that individual would tremble as if he had just been whipped and increase his work efficiency by a third.
Zi marched towards the plump black female and whispered several words. That woman then strode over before incisively sizing up the trio.
"Which report ya purchasing? We don't do military, government and police."
Sheyan chuckled in response.
"According to online information, there are over ten thousand employees in the Sandro TeraTech company, and the turnover rate is definitely high. What I want, is intelligence on high rankers who recently left the company the previous half of the year."
The plumpy black female nodded while contemplating.
"Fifty grand."
Sheyan then added.
"I hope to obtain it within an hour."
The plump black female frowned and hatefully glared at Sheyan.
"I detest brats who cross the line."
Although she said that, she turn towards a console by her side before retrieving an intercom. While speaking, her expression changed from intimidation to threatening and eventually slamming a chopper down onto the chopping board. After that loud smack, the opposing party on the intercom was finally persuaded.
The plump black female then strolled back and swept a glance at Sheyan. She then flicked her left hand while saying.
"Two hours, fifty grand."
Sheyan laughed and replied.
"Fine, not a problem. Oh, don't you misunderstand, I too, am just an employee. The lady there is my financial backer, get the cash from her."
Following that, Zi directly fished out a dinocrystal to settle the bill. The gang of four was then invited to the side for a rest.
At this point, Sheyan suddenly recalled something.
"Zi, can that nose-ring Finarsih still track you?"
Zi nodded.
"Yes."
Sheyan creased his brows and said.
"There will be slight problem then."
Instead, Zi revealed a crafty glint in her eyes. After a brief while, she slowly uttered.
"Finarsih just expended much MP to initiate the 'Arbitrary Door'. The backlash he received is directly to his HP and spirit, and can only heal up after returning to the realm. Therefore, though theoretically I can be tracked down, he doesn't possess the ability to do so for now."
Sheyan pondered before continuing.
"So, you're now temporarily free from the fetters of the Glory Party. However, this is merely for now."
While puffing his cigar, Brother Black asked curiously.
"Why do you say so?"
Sheyan smiled and answered.
"Ah, because you've forgotten one person...Sable who turned to Zeus! Clearly, Sable has probably received the same main mission as Zi at the start. Under the coercion of harsh penalties, he will inevitably strive to accomplish this mission. Therefore, the Glory Party may still be able to infer out Zi's objective. Hence, we still must proceed with caution."
After an hour and a half of waiting, the plump black female received a namelist from the intercom, which detailed the private information of the men Sheyan requested for. It even contained their contact numbers and addresses.
Actually, obtaining all these on the net wasn't excessively hard as well, however, Zi only had 48 hours to complete this mission. Moreover, nearly 12 hours had passed and they couldn't be stingy over wasting time.
While observing the gang of four walking into the elevator and the elevator rising slowly, a strange sinister smile invaded the plumpy black woman's face. She then pulled out a number.
"Hello, Please connect me with Mister Williams. Code number 'AC981'."
"Mister Williams, someone just purchased information pertaining to your company, perhaps you may have an interest in this?"
"How much? Of course, a fixed price which floats up the previous transaction by 30%. It's fine if you aren't interested."
"Hello, fine then, the valuation is rather low and we aren't making profits anymore. Those individuals who purchased the information are…..their features are...oh? You want a picture, that will cost an additional eight grand to develop..."
After Sheyan and gang left the BBQ restaurant, they attempted to 'identify the fine horse' with the information gathered.
They first visited two places, where they paved their way using money. Mentioning that they were headhunters from a mystery company, they wished to rope Hammond into their company; thus, they didn't incite suspicions in their interactions.
In the end, the two individual they met supplied some news. Alas, they were either incongruous information or news that Sheyan already knew.
Still, the second person managed to offer a crucial lead. Two months ago, the Sando TeraTech company laid off a young person, Yasuda, who seemed to understand Hammond quite well.
Due to his exceptional talents, Hammond recognized Yasuda's work dearly where Yasuda eventually became his secretary. If not for his bad gambling habits and incurring heaps of debts, thus forcing him to divulge some of the company's secrets, he would've become the youngest mid-level executive at the company. Based on Yasuda's stint at the company, he definitely knew certain private affairs regarding Hammond.
With this new direction, Sheyan quickly decided to look for Yasuda. After all, it was easy for a secretary to get involved in certain behind-the-scenes story of their boss. Without a doubt, this individual's working ethics was questionable. Since he already sold secrets once, with just the right amount of money, it should be fairly simply to get him to spew more.
Half an hour later, two of them located Hammond's former secretary, Mister Yasuda.
He was presently drinking beer while dazing lifelessly in front of a computer screen. He wasn't old yet his face was covered with a disheveled beard. His room was a mess and the words, 'frustrated' and 'depressed' were written on his face.
Besides, the Sando Teratech Company was like a dragon chief in this industry. Moreover, Yasuda had committed one of the most unforgiving mistakes in this industry. Of course he would be smothered by other powerful executives of the company. Honestly speaking, other companies weren't willing to recruit this 'stain' of the industry as well.
As he observed Yasuda's vacant eyes, Brother Black picked up a discarded cigarette butt by the side and sniffed it before saying.
"Oh man, this dude was just smoking pot eh? Shit, seems like we can't gain anything from him for now."
Sheyan coldly replied.
"Do we have the luxury of time to waste on him?"
While speaking, Sheyan dragged Yasuda's neck like he was a dead dog, all the way into the restroom. Then, he stepped onto his chest and sprayed his face with a hose at maximum power.
Initially, Yasuda started coughing violently before cursing wildly. Then, came the pleading before it gradually dimmed to a silence.
Only then did Sheyan drag him back into the living room.
After another round of violent coughing and wheezing, before Yasuda could curse in rage, a stack of dollar bills came smacking into his face.
Sheyan then forcefully tugged Yasuda's clammy and oily hair, allowing him to view clearly, the shimmering glint of an ordinary dinocrystal that Zi was pinching. Then, he smiled and begun.
"Give me a satisfactory answer, and it's yours. Of course, in addition to five grand."
Yasuda remained momentarily stunned. His throat emitted baffled gurgles before he quickly composed himself and replied.
"Ask away."
"Tell me all you know about Hammond."
Yasuda was rather astonished as he attempted to retract his memories. He also couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you asking about him?"
Sheyan expressionlessly drew out a stack of American dollars from Brother Black's bag and blatantly lit it on fire. Thirty centimetres before this unlucky brat's eyes, the stack was burnt to ashes.
The pitiful secretary's face twisted. His throat gurgled once more as unrivalled heartache filled his eyes. He wanted to reach forth to stop this but was kicked far away by Brother Black. When he climbed back up, a wound on his forehead miserably oozed out blood onto his whole face.
Sheyan glared at Yasuda like an eagle glaring at a little chick.
"Your answer is unsatisfactory, Mister Yasuda. The next time I become displeased, I will burn the whole bag of cash, which of course, should all belong to you. Continue your stubbornness, and I'll be sorry to throw you off the rooftop. Do you want to try testing my words?"
Yasuda panted heavily as his eyes flashed with utmost complications. Suddenly, he ripped away the filthy necktie at his neck and answered.
"Fine, I'll say!"
After interrogating Yasuda for three times, the gang confirmed they didn't overlook anything. Everytime they swapped a member to interrogate, Yasuda offered a perfectly identical statement.
After leaving, the contestant quartet glanced at each other with bleak smiles. Then, one of them shook his head and exclaimed.
"Really unexpected, we actually still have to make a trip to the Sando TeraTech company's headquarter!"
As it turns out, the main information acquired from Yasuda was that Hammond indeed still possessed an operational lab in Jurassic Park. This lab was located in a strategic location, in the midst of the mountain with complex terrain.
The reason they could freely enter and leave Jurassic Park, was due to an 'Alpha Spraymist' developed by the company.

Chapter 738: Tough dashing!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The 'Alpha Spraymist' would produce a masking odour, thereby reducing the chances of being detected by the dinosaurs.
Of course, the Sando TeraTech company wasn't trying to protect their workers. The only motive for creating the 'Alpha Spraymist' was for profits, sudden huge profits!
Hammond was previously in charge of this project. He told the board members that after spraying this mist, they could theoretically dispatch a person to infiltrate the dinosaurs' lair and steal dinosaur eggs or fledgling dinosaurs; both of which would fetch exorbitant prices on the market. As for the company, they would only have to pay for the worker's salary, the cost of manufacturing the mist, and compensation payments for worker injury.
According to their analysis, the rate of failure still exceeded 70% even after spraying the 'Alpha Spraymist'. Nevertheless, it could reduce other relevant costs by 11.3 times. This was because the normal way to acquire medium or large sized dinosaur eggs or fledgling dinosaurs, a tiny war would undoubtedly escalate!
Without a doubt, the board of directors were all bought in by this project.
Soon after, Hammonds fulfilled his promise and completed the spraymist. After that month, the profits of the company soared by 114% and lowered costs by 300%.
However, what the board members didn't know was, Hammonds harbored an ulterior motive behind this and secretly strengthened its effects for some of the products for himself.
After consecutive stolen dinosaur eggs and fledgling dinosaurs, the board members of the Sando TeraTech company, who were still kept in the dark and tasted the sweetness of profits, decided to endlessly invest in the project. They acceded to all of Hammond's plea but didn't know all their resources were channeled to the secret lab in Jurassic Park.
Of course, the company lab was merely a temporary camp for Hammond that he could abandon anytime. Not a single individual came to perform any in-depth investigation on him.
Hence, upon infiltrating the Sando TeraTech company, the first thing Sheyan needed to do was to obtain the coordinates of this secret lab. Secondly, to steal some of the 'Alpha Spraymist'. Although the current ones weren't modified by Hammond, it would still boost their chances substantially while infiltrating Jurassic Park.
Time was increasingly tight, thus, the gang of four hastily headed for the Sando TeraTech company.
The company was the big shot of the industry. Naturally, her headquarters were extraordinary; a 43 storey twin tower that was constructed with a garden theme flare.
The headquarters didn't appear heavily guarded, nevertheless, the experienced Brother Black managed to scout out forty over surveillance cameras while nearing the place. Moveover, over a hundred security personnels patrolled the building, and were all equipped with equipment superior to even the military.
Without a doubt, the best disguise would be high-ranking businessmen with a strong sense of professionalism. The guys looked at each other in dismay but Zi was a professional herself, leading the guys as they strode into the building interior.
Unbeknownst to them, while they seemed to be acting the part, their features were already being scanned by systems.
According to the plan, they would first ride the elevator to the 19th floor, where the security was still comparatively slack. Next, was to climb the fire escape stairs to the 37th floor.
According to Yasuda, the 'Alpha Spraymist' was stored in that floor. As for the coordinates of the secret lab, it could only be retrieved from the company's core network. Individuals who possess such ability and status could be found only in the 40th executives floor onwards.
Moreover, the appearance of the various magnates of the company were already given to Sheyan and company through Mister Yasuda's network. It would be impossible to not recognize them.
"Eh? Something seems off?" Sheyan watched the elevator doors closing slowly and whispered. "There were clearly many individuals waiting for the lift earlier, why did only us four board it in the end?"
Zi immediately reacted.
"You're implying that we have been watched since we entered? How's that possible?"
Sheyan grinned and replied.
"There's no such thing as eternal allies, only eternal benefits."
Her countenance immediately sank as she remained silent.
The person Sheyan was referring to was rather obvious. Amongst the individuals they interacted with, the probability of two fired workers and Yasuda betraying them was extremely minute. Regardless of being expelled by the company or leaving themselves, they surely harbored grievances in their hearts. More importantly, it would be hard for the three 'former' employees to regain the company's trust or even acquire any benefits.
Therefore, the one with the largest suspicion would be that plump black female. Noticing Zi's icy countenance, Sheyan felt like he wasn't sensible to expose this...besides, an unhappy woman is an exceedingly terrifying creature.
As the elevator slowly ascended, Sheyan's conjecture was indeed correct. They clearly pressed the 19th floor but strangely, the lift started slowing down at the 8th floor.
When the elevator doors opened, eight thick-armed, round-waisted guards were shockingly staring expressionlessly at them; slapping their arms maliciously with batons.
A male with the highest cheekbones marched forward and coldly announced.
"Gentlemen, you are suspected of attempting to appropriate corporate secrets, violating section 7.11 of our company's regulation. I regret to inform you, but we have the rights to restrain the lot of you."
Facing these domineering guards, Reef shrugged his shoulders and responded.
"This is a violation of my personal rights, you do not have the authority to do so, I wish to phone my lawyer."
"Hahahaha!" the group of guards started laughing wildly. "My apologies, we do not provide such services.
A second later, they watched a frosty looking goddess shooting her right palm towards them!
While they were still astonished by this view, a terrifying unknown force slammed against their bodies. A force that was akin to a transparent solid wall that collided in!!!
Force Collision Wall!
Zi remained standing in the elevator with a clear frosty expression. She ignored the guards that were groaning on the floor and directly pressed for the 38th floor.
Sadly, the elevator didn't move. It had been jammed by the control centre.
Sheyan sighed and said.
"We can only barge in, but Zi, do you really have such great faith in us three?"
Zi glanced at him and indifferently answered.
"Didn't you say that you can stand on equal footing with Zeus? Then I trust you, because if I was with Zeus now, we would surely be able to charge in and accomplish the mission without any assistants. What more, you have Reef and AK by your side? Why? Becoming soft?"
Sheyan was stumped by her words, and couldn't help feeling awkward even with his witty mind.
Undoubtedly, he was relying on his A-Virus effects. Even if Zeus and his gang wanted to kill him, they would be affected by the virus and fail to pursue Sheyan. Nonetheless, in a direct confrontation, Party Ace was absolutely not a match for Glory Party.
Yet after Zi's series of words, as a man himself, Sheyan obviously wouldn't acknowledge himself turning 'soft'. He laughed and replied.
"Fine then, but if we charge to the top blatantly, it may give the Sando TeraTech company sufficient time to wipe out their data; simultaneously, wiping out the coordinates of the secret lab as a result. Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? Let's climb up through the fire escape stairs."
Their physical bodies naturally surpassed ordinary individuals. Climbing up over 20 floors would take merely three minutes.
Alas, the building's design indeed exhibited the security classification of the floors beyond the 20th floor of the company. A fingerprint access door emerged which was heavily guarded by guards in strict formation. Evidently, they were already notified.
As Reef charged up, he instantly witnessed a guard pointing up an extremely queer weapon, before opening fire.
Reef was charging up while raising his shield, hence, he didn't notice the guard in time. Upon being shot, he felt an immense force crashing in and couldn't help but stagger a step back. Suddenly, a bullet exploded intensely! The explosion covered the entire area of the stairs, causing his dusty face to look extremely ugly.
"That's the...'Gamma II Revolver'?"
Zi muttered in shock. She could recognise the weapon the guard was using. In this world, this weapon was given a primitive and semi-advanced rating.
For example, the 'Gamma II Revolver' fired with the same gunpowder method as the pistols of earth. However, the 'Gamma II Revolver' uses the surrounding air to create bullets; the bullets not only result in penetrative damages, but also a secondary damage of a detonating bullet! Thus, the destructive power was a hundred folds stronger than normal pistols. Moreover, the bullets of the 'Gamma II Revolver' were infinite.
Of course, the flaws of the revolver was obvious too. Firstly, was its massive recoil. Secondly, it required a definite duration to recreate a new bullet and thus, was ineffective as a cover fire.
Realizing the merciless intentions of those guards, Sheyan's eyes squinted with a chilling glint.
"Since you guys want our lives, then, I'm very sorry. AK, clean em' up."

Chapter 739: Test subject 3
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Acknowledging Sheyan's command, Brother Black sighed while puffing his cigar and marched forward.
His action was plainly visible by the manifold surveillance cameras surrounding them. With a single movement, a voice rang within the ears of those five guards.
"No.5, no.5, prepare to fire. The enemy will appear in your line of sight within 3 seconds. The enemy should be using a cold weapon."
"Determining enemy's identity. Suspected to be a mutant, medium impact killing arms authorized by headquarters."
Guard no.5 sneered as he clutched his 'Gamma II Revolver' and aimed across. Once the enemy reveals his head, he will surely suffer a fatal blow.
Yet in this instant, Mogensha coincidentally halted right at the tip of the guard's blind angle. Shrugging his shoulders as he took a puff of smoke, he pulled out his signature golden AK.
DA! DA! DA! Mongensha unloaded a clip of bullets into the ceiling above. Dust and rubble scattered down as distinct tracer rounds intertwined in mid-air.
Five seconds later, guard no.5 was slumping limpidly on the iron fence above. Blood streamed out profusely from his head, after three steel-core bullets had accurately pierced into his left eye and lodged inside his brain. Although the bullets were like arrows at the end of their flight, it was sufficient to gun down the guard.
In the face of Brother Black's godlike marksmanship, all the guard's defensive equipments were completely futile.
This was the tragedy of storyline characters in this world, because in this world, the dinosaurs played the prominent role. They possessed frightening strength and devastating force, in addition to their incredible defenses and health. Even powerful contestants would have to retreat in the face of such supreme might.
In contrast, the humans were aided with technological advances. Alas, they still couldn't escape from the fate of a frail body.
When guard no.5 was killed, the other guards started opening fire as they cursed furiously. In spite of that, the obstructing large metallic fence rendered their offenses ineffective; like headless house flies buzzing uselessly around.
Several exchanges of gunfire later, Brother Black managed to clear out the broad corridor ahead. Maroon blood dyed the rugs inside and embers could still be seen on the corpses.
Zi lifted her left palm towards the iron gate that obstructed their path to the 20th floor. A transparent wall swept out followed by a sonorous rumble. In a second breath, the iron fence emitted ear piercing cranks and distorted inwards.
Following that, Sheyans stomped against the distorted portion of the iron gate, causing it to release a loud earth-shaking boom as it bluntly flew backwards.
More security guards were rushing in from beneath. As the gang of four didn't wish to be hindered by such small fries, they quickly sprinted up the fire escape stairs.
Moments later, warnings came transmitting into an internal monitor.
[ Warning: The four targets have infiltrated the 21st floor, patrol teams 5 and 7 please swiftly proceed to the emergency fire escape! ]
[ Warning: The four targets have infiltrated the 21st floor, patrol teams 1 and 4 please swiftly proceed to the emergency fire escape! ]
[ Warning: The four targets are suspected to possess supernatural abilities; highest authority granted, guards are permitted to use any weapon ]
[ Warning: The four targets have infiltrated the 25th floor. Patrol teams 5 and 7 were annihilated! ]
[ Warning: The stairway access is in ruins. Patrol teams 1 and 4 are making a detour ]
Such a list of notifications were precisely transmitted all the way to the 40th floor.
At present, two members of the Sando TeraTech company were seated before the surveillance monitor screen. As they spectated the foreigners in combat, their faces exhibited hideous expressions while exclaiming.
"Let's notify the police. These mutants are extremely tough to handle and won't stop until they've reached their goal. Our guards are all collapsing at the first blow!"
"Fool! Can we allow our company's information to be exposed to the public? The police and their greedy government backer have long been infiltrated our headquarters, asking them for aid is akin to giving them a pretext for the future. I've already sent someone to prepare Test-subject 3, we'll dispatch it in straightaway."
"Fine...but Test-subject 3 may not be able to hinder them!"
"Don't worry, we just need to draw them into that 'channel'. Don't forget, that same channel similarly dispatched mutants like them in the past. Worse come to worst, we just have to inaugurate our final trump card."
"Understood."
When the gang of four arrived on the 33rd floor, clamorous rumbling sounds abruptly echoed in from the front.
All of a sudden, a monster crashed out into the corridor from nowhere with a loud bang!
This monster was two metres tall and was entirely coated in protective silver armour. It possessed a pair of dull but radiating electronic blue eyes, and its legs were installed with caterpillar tracks. Its arms and shoulders were equipped with massive loads of weaponry. And released an impression of supreme technological advancement.
Its main weapon in hand was a streamline drum-shaped weapon, where its black barrel appeared terrifyingly intimidating; as though it could suck in the enemy's soul.
One could clearly see the words 'Experiment III' carved on the monster's back. This must be the so called 'Test-subject 3'.
Brother Black directly unloaded a clip of bullets but merely resulted in a thumping shower of sparks. The bullets bluntly ricocheted away as they bounced off to the surrounding walls instead. Evidently, AK's bullets couldn't penetrate this monster's armour.
Right in this instant, the monster's electronic eyes locked onto Mogensha. Following that, two ring-shaped weapons on its left shoulder instantly ejected a pair of blinding tongues of flame!
A second later, Brother Black was immediately bombarded with flames and dust. The area of exquisitely constructed stairs he was standing on was instantly ravaged by a wave of metallic storm. In a flash, one could observe a dense mass of 2-3 centimetres deep pits forming rapidly on the stairs; reinforced concrete fragments sprayed around the area as the entire fire escape echoed with 'DA DA DA' sounds.
Mogensha tumbled down the stairs pathetically with a deep wound across his face. Blood and curled flesh hung along this wound that was caused by a random scattering fragment.
Concurrently, a moss-green round projectile whizzed out from Test-subject 3's back, as it shot towards Mogensha in a parabola trajectory. It looked like a grenade.
Still, the gang was made up of four formidable contestants whose mobility and vision were relatively excellent. They could identify that moss-green round projectile to be the size of a sunflower, but strangely, with numerous short wriggling tentacles at its edges. The incoming projectile twitched incessantly...was it shockingly a living grenade?
The four of them had no clue what it was, but they knew it definitely wasn't something beneficial. Zi's long hair fluttered up as she pointed her fair, slender finger upwards and carved out a formless and abstruse arc.
Instantaneously, 2-3 metres ahead of them in mid-air, a transparent 'Force Wall Barrier' formed like a formless reinforced glass wall.
That peculiar tentacular grenade collided into the 'Force Wall Barrier' like a ripened persimmon. Puchi! It instantly splattered and spilled out incomparably repulsive moss-greenish liquid into the atmosphere. However, it didn't leak down Zi's 'Force Wall Barrier' at all.
Hence, the four contestants could distinctly see; amidst the murky moss-green liquid, multitudes of ghastly white parasitic bugs were jumping feverishly!
Those parasitic bugs were like excited prawns that just left the water surface. They possessed leech-like mandibles with a wasp-like belly. One could decipher how frenzied and rapacious these bugs were just from sighting them.
As it turns out, the Sando TeraTech company had developed a biological weapon; one that specializes in dealing with thick skinned dinosaurs. It looked as if those incomparably repulsive parasitic bugs could easily drill into a dinosaur's solid epidermis, before rapaciously devouring their blood and flesh.
Not only would them not harm a dinosaur's dinocrystal, they could even rapidly chew through a layer of the Tyrannosaurus' skin in half an hour. However, this weapon was currently still in its experimenting phase. Seeing how indomitable the four invaders were, the company naturally poured all resources to deal with them.
As he observed the frantically jumping parasitic bugs 2-3 metres away, Brother Black, who could skin a snake and eat its flesh alive, felt nervous and wiped the trickling blood off his face.
"Zi, I sincerely hope your barrier can withstand for a long, long while."
Zi's expression indicated her shock as well before she replied unenthusiastically.
"Half an hour won't be a problem, of course, that's on the pretext that thing doesn't attack me first."
Presently, nearly half of this flight of stairs was destroyed by the firepower of Test-subject 3.
Following that, it glided towards the edge of the stairs and aimed its main weapon over. One could see blue electric lights violently swirling inside the black barrel of its streamline weapon. Without a doubt, the trigger would be pressed the next second!
Yet in this moment, Sheyan bolted forward like a cheetah! Indeed, he had activated his signature 'Horn-Rage'.
Instead, one massively different aspect between a robot and a human was this – a human ceases from being a threat once both hands are full. Whereas for a robot with full hands, it still possesses an 'n' amount of weapons to combat foes. Moreover, a robot offered no reactionary delay and relied on standard procedure to eradicate its foe!

Chapter 740: Weakness
Translator:Translation Nation
Editor:Translation Nation
Detecting an imbecile delivering himself to die, a ring-shaped black barrel atop the robot's shoulder immediately targeted Sheyan and unloaded a wildfire.
Except, the killing potential of the weapon was also dependant on its target. Obviously, Mogensha would have to flee as far as possible, but to Sheyan, he dared to charge into the tempestuous rain of bullets; meeting his rival boldly with crazy vigor!
Although Sheyan was indeed capable of resisting a head on charge, he was honestly desiring to vent his frustration as well. Why So? It was because of Zi's provocative teasing based on his own phrase 'I can easily confront Zeus...' This was completely unrelated to boy girl relationships but purely human nature. It definitely wasn't a good feeling to be compared like that.
Sheyan endured the metallic storm as he charged into the blind angle of the robot, and finally pulled out his dreadful '7 West' long saber. With a furious grunt, he stabbed in.
Oceanic blue brilliance glittered out as Sheyan's charging momentum was poured into the saber, before forcefully stabbing into the right arm of this warmachine.
Although this robot was crafted with prime materials and possessed incredibly fortified armour, it was impossible for the joints to be perfectly unbreakable. Sheyan's '7 West' was recognized by the realm and undoubtedly surpassed the robot in sharpness. Sparks burst out as the saber stabbed in; one could even observe the internal components spilling chaotically, followed by clouds of smoke and flames.
The robot was just about to fire its main weapon cannon, but with its arm abruptly reduced to a dangling state, the cannon naturally slanted downwards.
Shuuah! A blue beam of unmatched blaze shot out and effortlessly smashed through a surrounding wall into smithereens. The beam continued shattering through the outer dark blue reinforced glass wall with a sonorous crash, and eventually struck a vehicle down in the public square below. Then, a tremendous explosion erupted which resulted in a horrifying ten metre plus deep pit!
"Oh? Just a commercial company and it actually possess a tool capable of such powerful destruction?"
Brother Black couldn't help but draw a breath of cold air. The degree of that attack could possibly threaten the life of a contestant.
Reef frowned and said.
"Probably a corporation that has ties with the military."
Sheyan dully refuted.
"Not possible, according to the information we gathered online, the Sando TeraTech Company is a subsidiary supported by the African Mozambique region, near the Indian ocean. We are currently located in North America. Although negotiations for a world government is underway in this world, the company shouldn't be involved with the military here. Would China allow an American firm to be a military enterprise in their country?"
"Still, this is a good thing. As they secretly possess such transcendent weaponry, regardless of how hard we press them, the Sando company definitely won't request aid from the government. Besides, we will at most cause infrastructure damage or information leakage, but the government investigations may cause the company to shut down!"
At this point, though test-subject 3 couldn't feel pain, it still rendered Sheyan as its greatest threat.
Its electric eyes flickered as countless blue snake currents jolted through its body. Those pressurizing snake currents wrapped around Sheyan's stabbed dagger, and electrocuted him till he shook uncontrollably.
With a rapid spin, the robot heavily smashed its left arm into Sheyan's left cheek!
Sheyan immediately felt his left cheek turning numb as a brittle fracturing sound rung in his ears. Evidently, an ordinary person would have his whole head blown up by this assault. Instead, Sheyan was only smashed flying as he heavily landed against the reinforced glass wall behind.
Crack! Countless cracks emerged along the glass, before it finally gave way.
Fortunately, his reaction was extremely fast. Although still slightly dazed, Sheyan quickly grabbed a steel rod of the building's exterior before he fell; the webbing of his fingers turned white as blood oozed out shortly after from the lacerations there.
Eeekk! Eeek! Cranking sounds emerged from the steel rod as it bent by half a foot downward. Bolts and screws twisted out and some even directly fell out. One could tell how mightily Sheyan was pulling.
Fortunately, his swaying body eventually settled and Sheyan avoided the unlucky fate of falling down the building. One must understand, this was a full 33 floors of altitude, even a contestant may perish from this fall!
Yet the robot remained viciously bent on eradicating him. Detecting the hanging presence of Sheyan, the ring-shaped cylinder on his shoulder automatically targeted over!
Another terrifying round of metallic storm was about to commence. Although Sheyan could withstand it, the steel rod it was holding onto absolutely couldn't and he would inevitably fall to his death.
Concurrently, Brother Black leapt up as Zi created a 'Force Wall Barrier' to support him. Brother Black then opened fire in mid-air. A bullet managed to pierce into the robot's eye, while the intense impact of the gunfire pushed the robot backwards. Amidst the barrage, one could observe sparks and embers engulfing the robot's head. Naturally, the robot lost its precision against Sheyan.
Sheyan obviously wouldn't dangle there foolishly. He endured a suffocating sensation as he swung himself back into the building, before immediately burrowing his head and charging forth. Like a rugby player, he slammed into the robot's waist with his shoulders.
The robot moved with its caterpillar tracks. Thus, after stopping by the edge of the stairs to assault Sheyan, it immediately lost balance when Sheyan came slamming in.
The robot tumbled down the stairs clamorously as black fumes continued leaking out from its dents and joints. With its caterpillar tracks facing skywards, it was now caught in an incomparably awkward predicament.
After battling for mere seconds, Sheyan managed to exploit the biggest weakness of this robot, causing even Zi to secretly admire his observational prowess.
Slumped to the ground like a beaten down dog, the gang of four combined and ravaged the robot for a full minute. Soon after, the electric eyes of this Test-subject 3 dimmed and eventually turned dark.
Eventually, the robot exploded with a thunderous boom as thick black fumes pervaded into the air. Screws and electric components were spilled all over the ground.
Yet, this explosion ejected a greasy equipment as well.
[ Greasy Clothlump ]
[ Origin: Any modernized world ]
[ Rarity: Black ]
[ Equipment type: Cape ]
[ Material: Cotton, oil, dust and horcrux slot ]
[ Addons: nil ]
[ Weight: 4.34 kg ]
[ Equipment usage requirement: Physique greater than 10 points ]
[ Durability: 50 points ]
[ Property: Strength 4 / Physique 4 ]
[ Property: Creates a 2% chance of avoiding your opponent's attack, due to the evasive oiliness of the 'Greasy Clothlump' ]
[ Passive ability: Drytwist – when your opponent attacks you, there is a chance the filthy grease of this lump of cloth will squirt onto the opponent's face. Causes a 2 seconds blindness (only if the target get be blinded). In a state of blindness, your vision increases by 50% ]
[ Property: When receiving a fire element attack, damage received will be raised by 33% ]
[ Property: The awful stench and disastrous sloppy look of this cape will foil your image, lowering charm by 3 points ]
[ Description: A horcrux can be infused into this cape. Heavens, what kind of devilish and exotic horcrux can convert this into a special item? ]
Brother Black and Reef expressed disgust towards it, thus, Sheyan stored it in his storage. Actually, his military rank awarded him a new privilege. Under the status of an ordinary contestant, he will be able to forcibly suppress his own attributes and prevent the sudden 50 points boundary breakthrough. Hence, right now, he didn't have to face the awkward predicament of taking off his equipments.
This was truly a wondrous advantage. Bear this in mind, although one's personal attributes were suppressed, the properties of the equipment would remain effective. Such was the enviable prestige of an official Major rank.
Following that, the contestant quartet continued advancing. Along the way, they encountered Test-subject 1 and Test-subject 2. Furthemore, this time, the robots were supported with 20 plus fully armed guards. The capabilities of the three Test-subjects were fundamentally similar but possessed certain different special abilities.
Test-subject 1 didn't possess that dual-handed energy cannon ability. Instead, both its arms could transform into over 10 metres long feelers that resembled Japanese Creepers. Those feelers whipped around crazily within the stairways, absorbing life force wherever those unbreakable feelers landed. Thus, one guard became the victim of friendly fire and was ultimately reduced into a meat paste.
According to Sheyan's deduction, Test-subject 1 was clearly created to combat aerial dinosaurs. Once a Pterosaur swoops down, those feelers will inevitably constrict them and prevent them from flying away.
