Chapter 388: Intent To Kill (1/2)

The dozens of people in the group were all very touched.

Puff~

The captain blew out another smoke ring, but this time, it morphed into another image. “People should live for themselves, but I can’t force myself to do that. So if we’re going to survive, then we’ll have to do it together.”

“If we’re going to die, we’re going down together!” everyone yelled, their eyes filled with deep devotion as they looked at their captain. This was the person who they believed was worth following for their entire lifetime.

The emotional atmosphere didn’t last for long before it was abruptly cut off. About ten people or so appeared in the air above the group and looked down at them. One of the newcomers was an old man who glared at the middle-aged captain. “Were you further inside? How are things going in there now?”

Before the mercenary captain could speak, a young soldier next to him immediately yelled, “Who do you think you’re talking to? Our captain is amazing! You’d better greet him properly!”

The captain nearly choked on the smoke in his mouth as he hurriedly pushed the young soldier aside. He then smiled sweetly at the old man and politely answered, “Well, hello there, sirs from the Blaze Realm. There are waves of worms in there, and there are quite a number of them. Some people have even died from the shock. There’s basically nothing in this area, but please stay safe on your way further in.”

Up in the sky, the people from the Blaze Realm rushed away, heading deeper into the centipede.

Below them, the dozens of troops stared at their captain in shock.

The captain slowly lit a cigarette and regretfully blew out another smoke ring. “Endure this and you’ll be able to succeed in the future. Remember these words: only people who can endure will become strong. Understand?”

The rest were confused.

The middle-aged captain sighed lamentably. “When I die, I’ll make sure that it happens in front of all of you.”

With just this one sentence, the atmosphere was lifted. Everyone looked at the man in devotion, and the young soldier who had interrupted earlier nearly burst into tears. The captain smiled.

However, the mood was destroyed right away as a young man with a deadpan expression suddenly appeared, staring coldly at the captain. “What happened in there?”

The captain gulped as he looked at the young man, feeling like there was a knife to his throat. “There’s a wave of worms in there, and there are also people dying mysteriously.”

Everyone stared, dazed. The previously jovial mood was gone once again.

The captain looked forlorn, feeling ready to curse someone, Where’d all these monsters come from? He blew out another smoke ring, wanting to say something touching to his soldiers, but then he blinked. Forget it! We need to go!

The flood-like wave of worms had been greatly reduced thanks to everyone working together to drive them into spatial cracks. While there were still many new parasitic worms entering the area, they no longer posed a threat to the group of cultivators.

Lu Yin watched on from the very back of the crowd, ready to carefully observe the phantom pike that appeared. He wanted to see just how powerful it was.

Before long, the people from the Blaze Realm arrived at the front of the expedition.

There were eight large Flowzones in the Innerverse, collectively known as the Eight Great Flowzones. The Blaze Realm was similar to the Blazing Mist Flowzone in terms of its influence, so their appearance caused quite a few people to shudder in fear.

The Eight Great Flowzones had achieved many things that the other tiny Flowzones could not even imagine. The Northline Flowzone had a monster with a power level of over 400,000, but there were certainly other, comparable old freaks like him in the Eight Great Flowzones. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the Northgate family to hide Northgate Taisui’s existence, and they would have just dominated the other families.

Upon seeing so many parasitic worms constantly rushing at the crowd of cultivators, the people from the Blaze Realm were astonished. This was their first time seeing creatures like these. The worms had defenses comparable to an Explorer’s, but they lacked any offensive capabilities and were also unable to move quickly. They almost seemed like regular lifeforms that wore the shell of an Explorer.

“You, come here.” All of a sudden, a familiar voice rang out, and Lu Yin glanced over. Jared?

Jared pointed at Lu Yin. “Didn’t you hear me? Get over here right now.”

Lu Yin froze for a moment, but then, he remembered that he had changed his appearance. Ordinary cultivators would be discovered rather quickly when they changed their appearance, or else they would be able to easily wreak havoc in the universe. However, Lu Yin had cultivated the Invisible Aura Technique, which eliminated most of the issues that occurred when one changed their appearance. It was also why he hadn’t been found out yet.

“What is it?” Lu Yin asked after walking over to the group.

Jared’s eyes were cold and he ordered, “Go and fetch me a corpse of someone who died of mysterious causes.”

Lu Yin was confused. “Me?”

Jared frowned. “I’ll repeat myself once: find me a corpse that died of mysterious causes or die.”

Lu Yin was furious, but after scanning everyone from the Blaze Realm, his eyes lingered on the two elders in front, and fear flickered through his eyes. He then nodded and ran ahead to where there was a body. The man hadn’t been killed by a phantom pike; instead, he had died when a parasitic worm rammed into him. Still, it didn’t matter since Lu Yin just needed to do something for the people from the Blaze Realm.

Soon enough, Lu Yin carried a body back and flung it to the ground.

Everyone from the Blaze Realm glanced over.

“He died from blunt force impact. This isn’t a mysterious death,” an elder said. After that, he eyed Lu Yin coldly.
