Chapter 220: Being a Lone Ranger, Becoming a Captive
“Vincent, wake up!”
“Vincent, we need you!”
After hearing Angelina and Avril’s repeated shouts, Vincent finally opened his eyes.
At that moment, Vincent felt as if he had been soaked in an ice-cold pond. Every pore on his body was filled with water.
Not only did the water imprison his bones, but it also suppressed his spirit and locked his level!
He was no longer a level 17 creature. Instead, he was locked at the level of a level 12 creature.
Vincent sighed in confusion, “What’s going on? Why did my level drop?”
However, at that moment, no one could answer him.
Vincent raised his head in surprise and found himself lying in an alley without an exit. Kurt, Avril, and Angelina were guarding the entrance of the alley. They were constantly fighting with the people outside.
“Flame Extinguishing Gods!” roared Vincent.
The flames of purification in his hands were burning vigorously. Vincent used countless hot threads to seal the entrance of the entire alley. It was like a door covered in cobwebs.
However, Vincent did not detonate the fire threads. Instead, he let it act like a wall to stop the monsters from entering the alley.
Vincent quickly called out to the three of them and said, “Quick! Let’s hide in the house next door!”
The three of them quickly turned around and ran over. Together with Vincent, they climbed over a small section of the collapsed wall and rushed into the house next door.
However, the group still felt that it was not very safe, so they circled around the ancient city a few more times. Finally, they found a very quiet courtyard and hid inside.
After confirming that they had successfully shaken off the monsters and that there was no longer any danger, for the time being, Vincent hurriedly asked everyone, “What exactly is going on? I’ve returned to a level-12 creature!”
Angelina said, “It’s that monster that calls itself the Weak Water Race! The liquid secreted from its body can erode the body and strength of any target! I’ve absorbed a portion of its energy, but I can’t digest it at the moment. If you give me time, I’ll definitely be able to obtain the Weak Water Race’s ability. At that time, I’ll be able to help you remove the water in your body!”
Vincent nodded seriously and sighed, “These guys are indeed very powerful, but if they wanted to destroy the Spirit Race, it’s obvious that they can’t do it with just a few of them! Then, what exactly are they here for?”
After hearing what Vincent had said, Avril and Angelina turned to look at Kurt at the same time. This was because they remembered that Kurt had recognized the identity of those monsters.
Kurt immediately said, “According to the observation of the Esville Race, almost every race in the universe will have some traitors! These traitors ignore the interests of their race. They do not care about the survival of their worlds. They are only willing to serve a high-level race called the Ultimate Evil Race in order to satisfy their own needs!”
Kurt continued, “They usually ride on some shabby aircraft. They will then go to the worlds of various races to plunder resources and rob them. Then, they would trade in the world of the Ultimate Evil Race. These traitors are collectively known as scavengers! The alien life forms that we just met are very much like scavengers!”
Vincent frowned as he fell into deep thought. He then said, “It seems like they are not staying here forever. They are just like us, coming to this world to try their luck. Unfortunately, our luck is not good. We are not their opponent for the time being. We should think of a way to leave!”
Kurt maintained the usual robot’s calmness and immediately said, “I can activate the teleportation array and send us to a nearby node, or a place designated by you!”
Vincent nodded and said, “It seems that this is the only way. Anyway, we have already left the coordinate nodes here. We should temporarily avoid the sharp edge. We’ll wait until this place is calm or when we become stronger. After that, we can come back to explore!”
Avril and Angelina nodded together and agreed to Vincent’s suggestion.
However, at that moment, everyone suddenly realized that the roof above their heads had moved. In the next second, the entire roof was removed. Three spider-like monsters were crouching on the empty roof whilst staring at the people below.
Avril exclaimed, “Why are there three more?”
Vincent, on the other hand, had instantly understood what was going on. He hurriedly said, “Don’t forget about the other half of the aircraft that flew into the city. It seems that this spider-like monster is an ordinary member of the scavengers. The real leader is that stone man and water-wave monster! Don’t wait for them to show up. Run quickly!”
Avril and Angelina naturally listened to Vincent’s orders. They immediately jumped out of the window and ran into the distance.
Just as Kurt was about to leave, Vincent suddenly held his shoulder.
“What’s wrong?” asked Kurt curiously.
Vincent said in a deep voice, “After you catch up to them, immediately activate the teleportation array and take them away! I’ll stay behind to delay the scavengers. This is the safest plan at the moment!”
Kurt said without hesitation, “Logically speaking, your decision is indeed the safest, but I’m afraid that when the two girls find out about this, they will tear me apart on the spot!”
Vincent quickly said, “Give me something that allows you to lock onto my coordinates. This way, even if you escape, you can still find me according to the coordinates. This way, they won’t tear you apart! Time is tight, hurry up and act fast!”
After hearing that, Kurt immediately inserted his hand into his chest. He pulled out an object that looked like an earring in his hand. Before Vincent could react, Kurt had put it on Vincent’s ear.
Vincent felt a sharp pain in his ear. Then, he realized that something had locked onto his ear.
“This is a coordinate lock. No matter where you are brought to in the Black Hole world, I can lock onto your location through this. When we are in the same world, we can also use it to make long-distance calls. I hope you take care!” said Kurt. He then turned around and climbed over the wall.
The three spider monsters on the roof saw Kurt and the other two escaping and were instantly attracted by them. They raised their heads and looked in the direction where they had left.
After seeing the scene, Vincent quickly pulled out his Purgatory Blade. His whole body burst out with a flame-like light. However, it was much weaker than usual.
“Hey! Your opponent is me!”
Vincent shouted softly, and the Purgatory Blade in his hands ignited with raging flames. The flames randomly turned into three long flame whips and locked onto the abdomen of the three spider monsters. With a strong pull, they were all dragged into the room.
“Sunfire!”
As Vincent shouted, a black-purple pillar of fire shot up from the room. It could not be extinguished for a long time, and the hot temperature seemed to be able to burn everything in the world.
In the distance, Avril and Angelina ran to a seemingly safe place. They turned around and saw that Kurt was the only one who had followed behind them. They could not help but ask in surprise, “Where’s Vincent?”
However, Kurt just replied coldly, “Teleportation activated. Target selection, random teleportation!”
“Kurt, what are you doing?”
Both Avril and Angelina shouted anxiously at Kurt.
However, it was too late to say anything else. Their voices were drowned in the light of the teleportation portal.
The flames in the small house had already been extinguished. Vincent was very weak as he half-knelt in the middle of the room. He looked at the three spider monsters in the corner. They had been roasted by Vincent until their entire bodies were pitch black. They were emitting black smoke and no longer had any signs of life.
Vincent panted heavily.
Even though his strength had been locked onto a level 12 creature, he was still on the same level as these spider monsters. He had exhausted all of his psionic power in order to completely burn them to death.
At that moment, Vincent no longer had the slightest ability to resist!
Not long after, three more figures appeared on the top of the wall that no longer had a roof over it. They were the stone man, the water-wave monster, and the last spider monster that had fought with Vincent previously.
“Damn, this Spirit Race member is so powerful. He actually caused us to lose three of our men! We must sell him for a good price, or I’ll skin him alive!” said the stone man angrily.
The Weak Water Race member said calmly, “Although his strength is very low, his combat strength is not ordinary. He can be sold to the capital of Ultimate Evil. Maybe we can sell him for a good price and go on a vacation there!”
“Good idea, let’s do it!” said the stone man whilst nodding.
The Weak Water Race member stretched out its water-like arms and instantly turned into a crystal-clear chain, binding Vincent’s entire body tightly. It then lifted him high into the air.
“Go and call for our backup spaceship. Then send our men to search for traces of the other spirits in the city. If they can’t find them, then forget it. Let’s go to the capital of Ultimate Evil first and sell the goods we have!” said the Weak Water Race member calmly. It then walked out of the house.
Vincent did not lose his consciousness from the beginning to the end. He was very clear-headed as he watched the monsters bring him into a spaceship. They then flew into the Black Hole. They passed through the Black Hole world very quickly. Along the way, they passed by many sceneries that Vincent had never seen before.
Only then did he know that there were mountains and rivers in the Black Hole!
However, other than the color black, there was only the color of blood in these places. They looked very disgusting and evil.
This also meant that the true center of the Black Hole world was very vast. The human’s Black Hole was in a small corner of the Black Hole world!
Finally, the spaceship arrived in front of a huge Black Hole. There were countless flying machines acting as patrol guards. The spaceships and otherworld creatures that entered and left were strictly checked by the patrol guards.
After being checked by the guards, the scavenger spaceship slowly entered the Black Hole. They arrived at an incomparably large and prosperous world.
There were lights, wine, and greenery there. There were also tall buildings everywhere. There was not a trace of war, but it had an intoxicating atmosphere.
The spaceship finally stopped at a wide square. The Weak Water Race member pulled the chain that was tied around Vincent’s body and shouted at him, “Go! Follow us down!”
Vincent frowned. At that time, the psionic power in his body had been restored. It was not impossible for him to resist, but he suddenly changed his mind.
He wanted to see what the scavenges wanted to do for the time being. At the very least, they must understand the rules of this world!
After getting off the spaceship, Vincent looked up at the building in front of him. There were five big words written on the top of the building.
It said, ‘Arena of Life and Death!”
