Chapter 689: The Game Begins (1/2)

After the body disappeared in the Palace of inheritance, back in King Yao's realm Hou Yi opened the eyes of his original body and he couldn't help but feel frustrated. His aura ran rampant and the whole palace shook.

He really wanted to kill Sam right now. His killing intent made all the maids and servants feel extremely suffocated.

But he didn't dare do anything, he didn't even dare to break the deal with Sam and just escape during the fight when he humiliated by exploding the grenade in his ass.

He is afraid that The Gambler would lose all cordiality with him. He already made enough enemies, there is no need to speed up his own death.

He could only curse his luck before closing his eyes once again. Even after all this happened, he has to give the rewards he promised.

But he didn't have face to do that himself so he handed over everything to the avatar and stayed put.

Sam took the rewards he was promised along with the list of the names.

Actually, the reason he took the list is not solely for pissing them off, but to get the names of the gods participating in this game.

From what he knew the gods didn't want to reveal the information about themselves before their turn in the Palace of inheritance.

Now that Sam has the names of some people, he can not only expect their tests, he can also prepare for them all while estimating their character traits and for starters, the people in the list are easily swayed by benefits.

These people are also someone he has to be careful about in the future Palace of inheritances and their players might become his future enemies.

When they came out, every player and the candidate has three protective charms on them so that they could save themselves in this Undead realm.

After all, as soon as they came out of the cave, the next game would begin and until their three charms are used up they wouldn't be able to return.

They all had a pretty heavy day as they couldn't accept the fact that Arkiv was almost killed by his own patron.

Sam's friends took off on their boards and foot as they searched for a place to stay meanwhile Sam took Arkiv with him to a relatively desolate place along with his friends and took out a bow and three arrows.

”This is the reward Hou Yi prepared. Generally, every Palace of Inheritance is just a platform for the gods to give these treasures to their players and the rest of the players are just competing to snatch them away.

This is prepared by him for you.

Even though I don't feel guilty taking these rewards after winning the competition, I do feel guilty for all the torment you have been through. So, please take this as my way of apologizing.”

Arkiv hesitated a bit before taking the bow and the three arrows.

”Thank you.”

”Even though you are out of danger, it will take a while for you to be ready for fighting. I can get you back home if you want. You can just rest in my city and you will be safe.”

”No don't worry. I am okay. All I would need is fifteen days of rest and I would be as good as new. I can manage.”

”Okay then, stay these fifteen days with me. I have some medicine and pills, you can recover properly. After that, you can go wherever you want.”

”Sure.”

Watt who went around to scout the place to find a place to live came back and said.

”There is a cave nearby. But it is occupied by some Bats. It would need some time to clean up, but it is relatively hidden and wide enough for us to be comfortable. There is not much of activity in that area.”

Meanwhile, Philip and Jack also returned and reported the situation.

”There is some activity there, we saw some wights and some ghouls hunting some undead creatures of this land. They seemed to be looking for some experience. There are really too many traces of battle.

Arman and Chatur also came with similar reports.

Now, only that bat cave seems to be their only option.

They went to the bat cave.

The beasts are mostly Nascent stage ones and a few Pre-transcendent stage beasts, the final one is a middle-stage Pre-transcendent stage.
