Chapter 818: Team Up! Preparing for Battle Again!

Field

Ye Mingqiu had independently opened up a cave in a remote area, and he was currently in the cave he just excavated.

Previously, the Demon Hunters said, “His wanted level is too high now, general hiding methods won’t work, so there’s no way to bring him over, only offer help indirectly.”

Useless bunch.

He sat alone in the corner of the cave, watching the bonfire burning in front of him, silently pondering.

Although he knew he couldn’t rely on those guys, he didn’t expect the Demon Hunters to be so low in power, unable to resolve even this matter. Clearly, earlier they were handling things discreetly… Is it because the enemies I killed were stronger? My wanted level higher?

Perhaps.

From known information, it’s clear that within Happy Town there is hidden strength, a squad of special powerhouses, each possessing mighty strength, capable of easily killing these outsiders.

If Ye Mingqiu hadn’t killed the gatekeeper, the number of casualties among the Spiritualists/Transcenders would have at least doubled since widespread disabling of actives combined with powerful teammates blocking the door for a massacre, the lethality is still too terrifying.

“Ding!”

The Spirit Realm’s private message alert sounded.

— Private message —

Broken Star: How’s your situation over there? Safe now?

Divine Monarch: Useless Demon Hunters, didn’t take me in.

Divine Monarch: (´-﹏-` 😉

Broken Star: ?

Broken Star: Isn’t this situation off? Previously on Winter Island, even though they blew up the execution building, they forcibly kept people safe.

Divine Monarch: Maybe they are scared, or maybe I killed a Level 4 resident, raising my wanted level to a degree they simply can’t hide.

Broken Star: Level 4 resident?

Broken Star: 666

Broken Star: So what do you plan to do now? The current situation seems a bit too dangerous, should I come over to help?

Divine Monarch: Aren’t you afraid you’ll get caught in danger too?

Broken Star: I’m very strong.

With just three simple words, she effectively conveyed her pride and confidence, causing Ye Mingqiu to feel a touch of warmth in his heart; at least he still had reliable teammates, only unfortunately they were far away, difficult to rely on now.

Divine Monarch: Right now, apart from me, there are likely quite a few who haven’t joined the Demon Hunters but are already wanted; I may not be hunted first, so it’s not particularly dangerous.

Broken Star: Hmm.

…

The two chatted briefly for a while, then each went to do their own things.

At this moment, the number of Spiritualists/Transcenders in the mountain was as many as 18, and all were wanted individuals; to avoid being hunted alone, they kept their distances not too far apart.

But not too close either.

After all, everyone was a competitor; leaning against each other at this time was for mutual warmth, but if too close, they might directly fight.

Everyone clearly knew what kind of nature the other had; too close was dangerous.

“Hoo~”

Ye Mingqiu took out a pure Life Crystal from the package; this was the highest-grade Life Crystal, although the Demon Hunters refused to take him in, they still offered significant help, and this was one of them.

Previously, while digesting the acquisitions, Ye Mingqiu completed a bounty task within the Demon Hunters, earning task rewards not only Order Points but also Experience Value.

He used these experience points to level up and acquire Core Skill Points to enhance [Indestructible].

If not for leveling up to improve his Basic Attributes and gaining [Indestructible] endurance, Ye Mingqiu surely wouldn’t be able to defeat the gatekeeper under normal circumstances.

Level: 4

Experience: 110/400

To the next upgrade, there’s still a long way to go. Now, he continued using the Blood Spear to absorb Life Force from the Life Crystal, increasing the Blood Spear’s intensity to the extreme.

“Knock Knock!”

A clear knocking sound on the stone echoed; someone was knocking at the door outside the cave.

“Forward.”

Ye Mingqiu retracted the Blood Spear into his sleeve, calmly looking towards the entrance, only to see a slender silver-haired girl walking in from outside, her face showing a slightly troubled expression.

She spoke, “What do you plan to do next? Those guys are too troublesome, though if we want, they can’t kill us, but dragging out time like this is no different from waiting for death. Isn’t this just slow suicide?”

“They can track our position, right?”

“Yes, but we don’t know the method. We only know they have this ability. If we knew the exact principle, solving it would be easy… Unfortunately, we don’t have the right talent here, otherwise fighting would certainly be simple.”

“….”

Ye Mingqiu didn’t speak; he just gazed deeply at her, asking, “Are you sure?”

“Currently, we don’t know through which method they specifically lock on, so I can’t be sure either, it’s an unavoidable situation.” The silver-haired girl spread her hands, sighed helplessly, and said.

Ye Mingqiu didn’t quite believe but didn’t directly express it.

He merely said, “Then let’s rush another wave.”

“Huh?”

“I said, let’s charge another wave.”

“???

The silver-haired girl was full of questioning marks; she wouldn’t have dreamt Ye Mingqiu would make such a suggestion — initiating a strike in such a crisis was akin to literally delivering oneself to death.

“I mean not solo, but the kind of fight where we coordinate together.”

Ye Mingqiu continued to explain.

The core reason why these outsiders were repelled was, on the surface, they united, but fundamentally lacked deep coordination; otherwise, with a combination of tactics among the Three-Body People and mechanisms, how could they be beaten by high-stat primitive people.
