Chapter 819: Team Up! Preparing for Battle Again! (Part 2)

The silver-haired girl fell into silence. Clearly, she understood the current situation, but trying to bring everyone together was somewhat difficult.

“There’s no need to form a large group. Let people who trust each other form a few small groups. If there are too many people, there will be too many to guard against, making fights too troublesome.” Ye Mingqiu said.

“You also know that we need to be on guard against each other…”

“What else?”

“Then I’ll go talk to them again. I believe they all understand the current situation. If things continue, our situation will be dangerous…. How should I address you?”

“Ye Zhaoxia.”

“Silver.”

Ye Mingqiu watched Silver leave, continuing to absorb Life Crystals within the cave to enhance his own strength. Meanwhile, he carefully observed the Demon Hunter wanted list via the Communication Device, memorizing the faces of those people to avoid future oversights.

Eliminating these people not only grants Order Points but also provides experience for completing tasks. Overall, the rewards are quite good.

[Hint: Blood Spear enhancement count has reached 10 times, gaining an extra Core Skill Point]

Ye Mingqiu casually allocated the Core Skill Point to [Wisdom Life]. Although this effect cannot directly enhance combat strength, it can accelerate the growth speed of the Blood Spear. At this stage, the cost-effectiveness of improving growth speed is higher than increasing numerical values.

After all, upgrading the Blood Spear also increases its values, which means its strength will obviously be much higher later on.

….

About half a day later

Silver was walking among the various caves, holding individual conversations with people, and finally found a few individuals willing to team up with him. Together, they came to Ye Mingqiu’s cave entrance, while the other small teams went their separate ways to form their own groups.

There were four people in the cave at this moment.

Ye Mingqiu, Silver, Carl, and a handsome young man with flamboyant blond hair named Jia Meishu, who was a Space System ability user. His spatial abilities were exceptionally strong, and he was masterful in using teleportation, which Silver had previously introduced to Ye Mingqiu.

“…Everyone should be clear about the current situation, right? Either we charge forward for a fight, or we wait here for death. We have no choice.” Silver said, sitting on a projected chair, legs crossed.

“Indeed, the situation is dire right now, and I don’t want to drag it out like this.” Carl followed her words. Although his safety was currently insured, lurking as a Demon Hunter.

But his goal wasn’t just survival. He aims for rapid growth, and if his growth speed is limited, then what’s the point of just staying alive?

“So, I want to invite you all to cooperate, form a small team, and charge forward again.” Silver said with an incredibly sincere look.

“No problem.”

Jia Meishu smiled and then lifted his head to say, “I would not refuse a lady’s reasonable request.”

Silver nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth lifting.

“….Even if she is a loli.”

“….”

Silver’s smile froze, her chest rapidly rising and falling, and her expression seemed as if she wanted to kill Jia Meishu.

“Pfft~”

Carl couldn’t hold it back and turned his head to laugh quietly.

Ye Mingqiu lowered his head, covering his face with one hand.

Soon after, everyone started discussing their abilities and designing the tactics to be used next.

“I am responsible for the frontal breakthrough. My ability is to enhance my toughness and burn blood to amplify weapon power; I can pre-store blood for battle.” Ye Mingqiu mentioned Blood Spear.

“Yeah.”

Jia Meishu nodded, saying, “I’ll handle the flanking feint. My ability is of the Space System, primarily focused on teleportation, along with other spatial attacks, though activating them requires some time to charge and also consumes a lot, so I don’t often use them.”

“Can you teleport others with you?” Carl asked.

“Theoretically, yes, but the consumption would be significant, and it would also extend my teleportation cooldown. It’s rarely used in actual combat.” Jia Meishu replied.

“Then why not consider teleporting Ye Zhaoxia directly into battle? That might be quite interesting.” Carl said with a smile.

Others might not know, but he was very aware of Ye Mingqiu’s output. A mere touch inflicted severe damage, a direct hit meant death; the attack intensity of the Blood Spear was absurdly high. If this power could be compounded with teleportation, it would be unstoppable!

“Is his attack power really that strong?”

Jia Meishu displayed doubt. As a Space System ability user, he was very confident in his attack power. Though he didn’t often use spatial attacks, when he did, he possessed a lethal trick capable of delivering a fatal blow.

“He can directly eliminate Level 4 residents. What do you think, is he strong?” Carl said with a laugh.

“Level 4?”

Jia Meishu was astonished. The Level 4 residents of Happy Town are powerful beings known as [Order Keepers]. Even with their current strength, they wouldn’t dare face such power head-on.

The disparity in values is way too great, making it too easy to be killed in direct confrontation.

“With Carl providing cover, I can seize the chance to deliver a fatal strike.” Ye Mingqiu replied.

“Hehe.”

Carl just chuckled.

He knew exactly how much his single shot contributed. While crucial, Ye Mingqiu’s combat skills were far more important.

At that time, he fired only once, not because that’s all he wanted to do, but because he could sense the guard’s Perception, and couldn’t find a second opportunity to strike. The opponent was stronger than he had imagined.

It’s hard to fathom how strong Ye Zhaoxia must be to directly confront someone of that level head-on.

You should know…

The opponent possessed a Domain that disabled Actives!

Ye Mingqiu faced them head-on without the use of Actives!

So, when Ye Mingqiu said he strengthened his Attack Power by burning blood, Carl didn’t believe it. However, disbelief aside, Carl wouldn’t expose him because letting others know wouldn’t benefit him. It’s normal to leave some gaps when sharing information.

If no gaps are left in shared information, then it simply means the person is either too pure or way too confident.

“I see…”

Jia Meishu pondered for a moment, looking at Ye Zhaoxia opposite him, continued with a thoughtful expression, “If you possess such level of Power, then teleporting you should be reasonable.”

Silver looked at everyone, saying, “My Ability is Projection, which can create various items, such as Support tools, combat firearms, or devices to paralyze surveillance, suitable for remote support.”

“I have the Support Ability with threads and Domain, which can control enemy’s actions.” Carl simply replied.

A Warrior, an Assassin, Support, and a ranged fighter—thus a four-person team was successfully formed.

The four appeared to be diligently researching, while actually hiding their trump cards, trying to recount their Abilities in ways that wouldn’t impact battle effectiveness, endeavoring to perform as best as they could.

If hiding abilities reduced their effectiveness leading to underperformance, then it indicates the hidden ability was garbage.

That’s not how things are done.

At the very least, the things that need to be done should be done.

After a long while, the four signed a Spirit Realm contract, specifically a [Temporary Team Contract].

Contract contents: During contract time, they must not harm teammates, must not maliciously engage in passive battle, and items gained in battle are to be distributed based on [Contribution Value]rather than who kills whom, aiming to avoid kill-stealing and passive behavior, etc.

Once the contract was fully executed, the four signed it under the Spirit Realm’s witness, officially establishing their four-person team.

Meanwhile, similar situations were occurring in different caves where other outsiders were forming teams. Although they were fewer in number compared to before, they had undergone the baptism of battle, increasing their comprehensive Level, and also enhancing their battle cooperation.

Their overall combat strength became stronger!

In Ye Mingqiu’s cave, the four continued chatting about the current situation, each sharing their intelligence, and speculating on the present situation, corroborating their guesses, and analyzing possible truths together.

A new storm is about to emerge.
