Chapter 265: Chapter 172: Divinity Energy Vessel
Swish!
The wind swept through the forest, stirring up waves of green.
A few leaves drifted down.
Evans sat under a tree, his face pale, looking somewhat listless.
He didn’t know how much time had passed when he suddenly looked towards the clearing on his left with a change of expression.
A figure had inexplicably appeared there.
It was the long-absent Hunter.
“Didn’t you leave the Southeast Domain? Why are you back again?”
The Hunter spoke in a low tone.
“Where’s that Kessler Clan kid who was following you?”
“I left him in the Northwest Domain,” Evans replied, looking at the Hunter with a complex gaze. “I’m back this time specifically to find you.”
“What’s the matter?” The Hunter’s tone was indifferent.
“You still have the key to the Star Tower, don’t you?”
“Why are you asking about that?” The Hunter’s tone finally showed a hint of fluctuation. “Do you want to take back the Star Tower key?”
Evans shook his head and said, “Not me.”
Upon hearing this, the Hunter immediately realized something was wrong and quickly retreated.
But in the next instant, several scarlet beams of light suddenly attacked from all directions, hitting his body almost simultaneously.
With a pop, the Hunter disappeared like a shattered bubble.
“A mirrored clone, huh? Quite cautious.”
A man in a gray robe appeared out of thin air.
“It’s okay.”
Another man in a green robe slowly emerged from a tree trunk ten meters away.
His skin was brown like the trunk, covered in crack-like grooves, resembling dry tree bark.
“The mirrored clone can’t be too far apart; he’s still in this forest. From the moment he stepped in here, he was destined not to escape.”
As if to validate the words of the man in the green robe, a dense rustling sound suddenly came from four or five hundred meters away, as if numerous leaves were rustling down.
Looking up, countless branches rose up as if alive, thrashing wildly in the air.
Among the flying branches, the Hunter was dodging left and right, trying to break out of the encirclement.
As if a switch had been flipped, a dozen figures rushed out from the surrounding woods to surround the Hunter.
Watching this scene, Evans sighed deeply under the tree and closed his eyes.
A moment later, a cry of unwilling anger came from afar.
Immediately, the sound quickly faded.
The wizard apprentices involved in the attack returned, led by an ordinary-looking man with scales on both cheeks, who wore an unmistakable smile.
“As expected, that guy had the keys to the Star Tower, and he had four of them, even more than we had anticipated.”
“Now we’re only one short of filling the gap.”
The man in the green robe nodded in satisfaction, then turned to a gloomy and small-framed man, asking in a deep voice, “Fabio, what information did you extract from the Hunter’s soul?”
The man called Fabio weighed the Soul Crystal in his hand, speaking in a hoarse voice, “This guy resisted intensely, so I had to use some methods. His soul is quite shattered, and the information gained isn’t much, but it’s just what we needed.”
“As you guessed, the Eternal Life Association is already destroyed, and it was the Forest Cabin that killed them.”
“However, now the Forest Cabin only has six people left, oh, excluding this unlucky guy, so now there are only five.”
“They all have keys to the Star Tower, especially a Wizard Apprentice named Sunan, who likely possesses more than one.”
The scaly man licked his lips and said, “Then why not target Sunan directly?”
“I think it’s better to change the target,” Fabio suggested.
The man in the green robe raised an eyebrow, “Why?”
“From the Hunter’s memories, that Wizard Apprentice Sunan is very strong. Saulo died at his hand, and he controls a powerful force called the Star Alliance. Even if we could take him down, it would probably cost us some casualties.”
Upon hearing this, the others shook their heads.
“A Wizard Apprentice who can take down Saulo is not to be underestimated, better not.”
“Anyway, we just need one more key, anyone will do.”
“Change the target.”
They weren’t willing to be part of Fabio’s ’casualty cost’.
The man in the green robe followed the advice, “Then let’s change the target.”
Evans secretly regretted it when he heard this.
If these people made a move against Sunan, there might be a chance for mutual destruction, giving him an opportunity to escape.
But unfortunately, they were too cunning and cautious.
At this moment, the man in the green robe turned to Evans and asked:
“Evans, where is the Star Tower?”
Evans replied with a bitter expression, “I’ve said many times, I can only roughly sense the general area where the Star Tower will appear, I can’t be more specific.”
The scaly man snorted coldly, “A radius of three or four hundred kilometers is too broad!”
“There’s nothing I can do; this sensing ability is related to my power level. If you help me break into the Tier Four Legendary Realm, I could sense it more clearly.”
The scaly man squinted his eyes, his gaze coldly fixed on Evans.
Evans stared back fearlessly.
The man in the green robe interrupted their tense atmosphere, speaking in a somewhat calmer tone.
“Evans, we signed an Oath Contract; as long as you help us enter the Star Tower, we won’t trouble you afterward and help you break through to become a Tier Four Legendary Knight, so it’s best if you don’t have any other thoughts. It’s better for both of us.”
Evans sneered inwardly but outwardly acted as if he was aggrieved and helpless.
