Countdown ends

Half an hour later, a group of people wearing black cloaks arrived at the Railway Station.

It was Shao Shuai and the others from the Dark Alliance.

Shao Shuai's group totaled forty people, with four LV7s and one LV8.

The LV8 was a man in his early thirties, lean build, but his pair of black eyes were very bright and spirited!

Qingming Silver Beast, 6th Order Supreme.

The Qingming Silver Beast had a very robust build, looked similar to a Qilin, had unique patterns all over its body, and its four limbs were strong and powerful.

At its thigh joints, there were cloud-shaped carvings, and its whole body was cyan.

Green face and fangs, with two sharp teeth exposed.

Just looking at its appearance gave one a suffocating feeling; it had to be said, the pressure from this Qingming Silver Beast was truly strong.

Some Unaligned Teams, with pets of slightly lower Rank, were already trembling the moment they saw the Qingming Silver Beast.

Ye Chen said, "Let's go, we can head out now."

He took the lead and jumped out of the ruins, with Lin Nuoyi and the others hurriedly following.

Shao Shuai saw Ye Chen from afar and kept waving at him; Ye Chen and the others arrived in front of Shao Shuai.

"Brother Ye Chen, what a coincidence. We just arrived, and you're here too."

"It shows that we two are fated!"

"Haha! Come, Brother Ye Chen, let me introduce you to everyone."

Shao Shuai pointed at the four people and said, "This is Wang Tie, LV7 Amethyst Giant Crab, Captain of the Second Team!"

Wang Tie looked rather honest and simple, and smiled at Ye Chen.

"Li Dongqiang, LV7 Hex-Horned Buffalo, Captain of the Fourth Team!"

Li Dongqiang looked like a man of few words and didn't say much.

"Fang Tianling, LV7 Necromancer, Captain of the Fifth Team!"

This person was only thirty-five or thirty-six, but looked like a little old man, appearing rather frail.

Ye Chen greeted them one by one, and the three responded with smiles.

Shao Shuai's originally playful expression instantly became extremely serious, and he pointed at that person, saying, "This is our Hall Master, Hall Master Guang Ling, LV8, Qingming Silver Beast!"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled at him, "Hello, Hall Master Guang Ling."

Hall Master Guang Ling nodded and smiled, "Not bad, not bad. LV5 solo-killing an LV7, truly not bad. Your future is immeasurable."

Except for Shao Shuai, Wang Tie and the others were slightly stunned.

They knew that their Hall Master rarely praised people!

Shao Shuai pointed at Ye Chen and said to the others, "This is the brother I mentioned to you, the one I just met, Ye Chen, LV5, Blood Asura! And he has a 7th Order Saint Grade pet, oh!"

Following that, the Blood Asura flew out, lifting its head proudly.

When Wang Tie and the others saw the Blood Asura, they were instantly dumbfounded!

"Saint? Saint Grade pet? No wonder! No wonder!"

Fang Tianling thought to himself, "No wonder Shao Shuai values this kid so much; it turns out he has a Saint Grade pet! I was wondering why the Hall Master would praise this kid so much."

Li Dongqiang looked at Ye Chen with envy. Li Dongqiang thought to himself, "Saint Grade, and a humanoid pet too. He really got lucky! To draw such an awesome pet!"

Hall Master Guang Ling's gaze toward the Blood Asura flickered with a sharp light.

Zhu Qiang suddenly stepped out and said, "My Brother Chen is now LV6!"

Shao Shuai was slightly stunned, then laughed loudly, "Right, right, right, LV6! Brother Ye Chen has leveled up!"

Wang Tie and the others gasped, and their previous contempt vanished.

If he were LV5, they could still rely on their own LV7 pets to have the capital to be arrogant in front of Ye Chen.

But now that Ye Chen was LV6, they had to take him seriously.

After all, an LV6 Saint Grade pet was of much higher quality than their LV7 Divine-Grade pets.

Shao Shuai introduced Lin Nuoyi and the others again.

After everyone got to know each other, they stood together, chatting and laughing, waiting for the item to appear.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Just at this moment, a helicopter landed, and a group of people got off.

Zhu Qiang whispered in Ye Chen's ear, "Brother Chen, it's Hou Qinghua and his group."

Ye Chen looked up and saw that it was indeed Hou Qinghua.

Hou Qinghua swaggered over to the Enforcement Team, his small eyes scanning the surroundings. When he looked toward Ye Chen, he was instantly furious and started walking toward him.

However, he was stopped by someone who pointed at Hall Master Guang Ling.

Hou Qinghua snorted coldly and stood where he was.

Ye Chen turned his head and locked eyes with Hou Qinghua.

The corners of Hou Qinghua's mouth curled into a cold sneer, and he made a throat-slitting gesture at Ye Chen.

Facing Hou Qinghua's threat, Ye Chen didn't care at all.

Who doesn't know how to make threats? In the end, it depends on who gets killed.

He who laughs last, laughs best.

Shao Shuai came to Ye Chen's side and said, "Brother Ye Chen, your Blood Asura is fast. When the treasure reappears later, you are responsible for seizing it."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Okay."

Although he didn't know why Shao Shuai was so certain it was a treasure, he didn't feel like asking.

Time slowly ticked away, and the time for the item to appear was getting closer and closer; the atmosphere at the scene gradually became increasingly tense.

Everyone looked toward that location.

Ye Chen knew that a battle was inevitable.

He pondered for a moment and said to Lin Nuoyi and the others, "The four of you must stay together, don't separate, and protect yourselves. That Hou Qinghua will definitely try to ambush us."

Lin Nuoyi and the others nodded one after another.

Ye Chen was still a bit worried, so he spent 200 points in the System shop to buy four light shields.

Four white light spots appeared in Ye Chen's hands. He quietly distributed the light spots to the four of them and said, "These are protective shields. When you encounter danger later, just crush them directly."

The four of them looked at the white spots in their hands curiously, but they didn't say anything, just nodded.

They knew Ye Chen had his own secrets and wouldn't be stupid enough to pry.

Time remaining: 00:09:26

With less than ten minutes left, the atmosphere at the scene had become tense and ready to explode. Everyone summoned their respective pets and sized each other up.

Ye Chen looked at Hou Qinghua and noticed he was still carrying that huge backpack; he didn't know what was inside.

A weapon?

He couldn't help but think of Huang Hu's words; Huang Hu said Hou Qinghua had a powerful killing weapon.

Could that powerful killing weapon be in Hou Qinghua's backpack? It was very likely.

When the time reached five minutes remaining, right at that moment, a loud noise suddenly rang out, and the location on the map suddenly went "bang."

A strong blast of Qi gushed out from underground, and all the gravel around was blown into the air by this intense Qi.

It immediately turned into a beam of light that shot straight into the clouds.

A breeze blew past everyone, and following that, the sky suddenly changed color.

Dark clouds instantly appeared in the vast sky, and the world between heaven and earth instantly became a bit dimmer.

The atmosphere at the scene also suddenly became somewhat oppressive, and everyone's heart skipped a beat at this moment.

Shao Shuai's expression also became extremely serious.

He came to Ye Chen's side and said, "Brother Ye Chen, in a moment, we will have our own things to do and might be held back by others, unable to attend to this treasure that has appeared. Whether you can snatch it depends on you. Although the other factions have heard of your reputation, they don't know your strength. It's all up to you."
