Chapter 520: The Inner Circle! (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Brother Yu, why don’t we go back…”
“That’s right. Let’s go back first and find the main group before we take the
next step…”
Several people suggested that they should go back and find the main group first before planning their next move.
“We can’t go back!” The two captives were shocked.
Cai Shu Ying was furious.” You two fellows, do you really think that I won’t dare to kill you just because you’ve said so much?”
” Are you two allowed to interfere in our internal affairs?!”
The two of them immediately revealed a terrified expression and hurriedly expressed that they did not mean that.
“That’s not what we meant…”
“Those who leave the novice area and return to the novice area will attract a large number of monsters to hunt them down…
” Especially since there are ultimate fighters among your side. Who knows, you might even provoke a king-level monster…”
After some questioning, they found out that the south are of the boundary road was the novice area. Once they left, they could not return.
Otherwise, a large number of monsters would appear. Moreover, the strength of these monsters far exceeded normal and with ultimate fighters among them. They would even attract king-level monsters.
” King-level monsters? What’s their standard?!” Zhao Yu asked in confusion.
” It’s a king-level monster. It’s said that its strength is comparable to a tier-one monster. It’s not something that any ultimate fighter can fight against…” “When we first came to the inner circle, it was said that one of the five major forces had planned to hunt king-level monsters…” the two of them recalled. “In the end, the whole force was directly wiped out by a single king-level monster…”
“Later, the first-tier token they lost caused many forces to vie for it, eventually being secured by the Scarlet Rose…”
The Scarlet Rose is the only force among the five major forces composed entirely of women.
It is said that the leader, Scarlet Rose, was once like the twenty or so female students on their side, captured by other forces and subjected to inhumane treatment.
Fortuitously escaping, she began to rescue women captured by various forces, gradually growing stronger and more influential.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu’s brows furrowed tightly.
With more than twenty ultimate fighters, the whole force were ultimately annihilated by king-level monsters.
One can imagine how strong those king-level monsters were.
He definitely couldn’t return to the newbie area and create trouble to everyone. At this moment, Xiao Xiao Long suddenly stood up, and asked, “Then what kind of monsters would be attracted if a threshold-level fighter returned to the newbie area?!”
“At least a commander-level monster would appear…
Xiao Xiao Long quickly followed up, “What kind of strength does a commander-level monster have?!
“The strength of commander-level monsters varies with their race; the weak ones are only equivalent to our threshold level, but the strong ones could rival an ultimate fighters…”
Before he could finish, Xiao Xiao Long looked at Zhao Yu with a face full of panic, “Oh no, didn’t our return bring trouble to the main team?!” Everyone immediately realized that Xiao Xiao Long’s return with dozens of people might attract a large number of powerful monsters tonight. And with their strongest members gone, those left behind would have to face these monsters alone!
If any of the monsters were comparable to ultimate fighters, the consequences would be unimaginable!
“I have to go back and save them!”
After this incident, Xiao Xiao Long underwent a significant change in personality, feeling deeply indebted to his classmates and desperately wanting to make amends, even at the cost of his own life.
Zhao Yu quickly stopped him.
“Going back now would only add chaos, increasing the number of attacking monsters…”
Xiao Xiao Long became even more frantic, jumping up and down in anxiety. The others were also uneasy, worried about the situation with the main team. “According to what the two of them said, the number of people returning to the novice area is directly related to the number of monsters they attract…” “SO, we can send someone back to report the situation and stop them from coming here…”
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he went up to the two captives and asked them about the surrounding terrain and situation.
After some understanding, he realized that the monsters in the inner circle were not weak either. The weakest of them were Commander-level monsters that were comparable to fight Zhao Yu head-on, while the strongest were even King-level monsters.
Fortunately, these monsters had their own territories. As long as they did not easily invade their territories, they rarely came out.
” So, the closer the monsters are to the road, the weaker they are. The closer they are to the camp, the stronger the monsters are?!
“That’s right…”
” Then, according to what you said, why are the five major forces so far away from the southern region?!”
According to their description, the powerful forces were basically far away from the southern area. Some were dozens of kilometers away, while others were hundreds of kilometers away.
“That’s because the king-level monsters on the south side of the boundary road will kill indiscriminately…”
After the explanation, Zhao Yu finally understood the whole story. Under normal circumstances, the king-level monsters of the north of the boundary road would rarely leave their territories. As long as they did not provoke these king-level monsters, the danger they faced on a daily basis would be the humans of other organizations.
However, the king to the south of the boundary road were different. As long as they were out, they would killed until blood flowed like a river.
Once these southern king-level monsters were lured out, there were very few restrictions. The most exaggerated record was that there was once a king-level monster that chased all the way from the novice area to the outside of the camp.
Wherever it went, not a single blade of grass grew. Countless ultimate fighters died in vain.
” Therefore, under normal circumstances, how would an organization dare to stay near the boundary road? If an ultimate fighter who joke around and runs to the south of the boundary road and lures out a king-level monster, everyone will die…”
Even if all five major forces had more than twenty ultimate fighters, they would still have to be polite when facing each others. Otherwise, they could just go their separate ways and directly enter the south of the boundary road to perish together.
In the end, Zhao Yu and the others decided to leave this place and head twenty kilometers to the east.
That location was situated between the territories of two commander-level monsters, making it a favorable destination.
As for the person tasked with spreading the word, they chose a student who had undergone twenty enhancements.
He was to return to the newbie area, follow the markers they had left on their way, find the main force and direct them to meet up twenty kilometers away, to avoid being blocked by the people from the Eight Desolations Alliance. Fortunately, only ultimate fighters could attract king-level monsters. A twenty-times enhanced individual could at most draw weaker monsters, equivalent to threshold-level commander-level monsters.
Both parties didn’t dare to linger and split into two groups to leave separately. The two captives were not killed as they knew a lot, and keeping them could prove useful information.
Of course, Cai Shu Ying played a significant role in this decision. She insisted on taking charge of the two men, promising she wouldn’t let them escape… What she intended to do was clear to everyone.
This woman was not only unattractive but also known for enjoying torturing people.
The people who had followed her, albeit classmates, were spared excessive cruelty.
With two captives at her disposal, she could treat them inhumanely, much to her liking.
After a brief discussion, everyone agreed to hand over the captives to Cai Shu Ying.
Zhao Yu made it clear that while they could do as they pleased with the captives, their lives must not be harmed, as the information they possessed was valuable.
Cai Shu Ying immediately assured that she would not let them die.
With that, the group set out again and heading eastward.
Meanwhile, Guo Yang was the first to return to the headquarters of the Eight Desolations Alliance.
“Where’s the leader?!”
Upon entering, he began to shout loudly.
The personnel on duty glanced at him, responding coolly, “Is the leader’s whereabouts something you can inquire about?!”
Guo Yang had no time to argue, urgently stating, “I have important news to report, it must be conveyed to the leader…”
“Hmph, whatever it is, you can tell us. The leader is busy with countless matters; there’s no time to meet you!”
Guo Yang retorted, “Team Seven has been wiped out; can you handle this?! The guards were shocked and angered, “Guo Yang, you better not be joking about such matters, or you’ll pay with your life…”
“Damn it, do you think I’m in the mood to joke? “Quick! Go inform the leader now!” Guo Yang exclaimed in anger. Realizing Guo Yang was serious, the guards hurried off to find the leader without delay..
