Chapter 929 Settling Points

Isla was extremely uncomfortable.

It had been a few days since she came to the city. Aarav seemed to be very busy and had arranged for

her to stay there. He would only come to see her every night.

Aarav was still very polite to her and hadn’t done anything that would make her feel uncomfortable,

such as trying to force himself on her.

Just like back in Estasate.

Of course, it was different. After all, Aarav was no longer the man from the countryside.

Aarav was very powerful now. Some called him king.

While some called him lord.

He had a very high status in the city.

Isla didn’t know where she was. All she knew was that she had left Earth and arrived in a distant

Nebula. For

her, it was all the same no matter where she was.

Hearing Gurr’s words, she sighed and continued to lower her head.

“My lady, if you don’t eat, I will go hungry too.” Gurr coughed.

He was also very frustrated!

Outside, he was a Flame Decayer. Although he had no background, there were countless powerful

forces that would try to recruit him. In front of most people, he was someone above all others.

He was one of the best among the Treasure Hunters, and many regarded him as an idol.

But now, he had become a servant, and it was a source of great frustration for him.

Even so, he was very good at gauging the circumstances.

He knew that the two people he met were too strong and he will not be able to defeat them. So why not

just

stay put and be obedient? As for the future?

As a Treasure Hunter, he never thought about the future. He had lived his whole life this way, going into

the jungle to explore, and then selling what he found. After a period of time, he would go out again!

Every time, it was accompanied by danger.

Therefore, in his opinion, the future was a luxury for him that he couldn’t afford to think about.

Isla looked at Gurr, sighed, and walked to the dining table.

Meanwhile, back in Havotune, Shannon and the others walked out in a rush.

They were a union of six small teams with a total of 23 people, including Skyler’s team.

Upon seeing them return, the leaders of several forces ran up almost at the same time.

Darion was the main lead of the Archaic Tribe. When he saw Kristian and the others coming out, he let

out a

sigh of relief.

Although he said that he didn’t care about them previously, Kristian’s group was the most talented of

their

generation in the tribe. Hence, it was good to know that they came out safely.

“I heard that there was a beast riot?” Darion asked.

#

“Yeah, there was an attack.” Kristian let out a sigh and looked around. He frowned when he didn’t find

any

trace of Gerald and the others.

Darion’s gaze fell on Skyler Mahoney. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. “Oh, you’ve broken

through the level of Flame Decay? Did the person you brought also managed to break through?”

Skyler scratched his head in embarrassment.

“It seems that you have had some adventure in this Nether Domain!” Darion smiled slightly and didn’t

probe

further.

Skyler Mahoney hurriedly said, “I was lucky, I was just lucky!”

At the same time, he glanced at Sheryl from time to time.

After meeting Sheryl, he had thought several times about asking her why she killed Grant.

But he held back, knowing that Sheryl was not someone that he could mess with. There’s nothing he

can do

about her killing.

“Come over and settle your points!” announced Dewey while he was walking toward the instruments.

With an unpleasant look on his face, Adolf walked over and handed over the card in his hand!

He only got eight cards. Being the first to arrive, a total of 52 points were credited.

Sheryl’s group was the third to arrive. Under Kristian’s and the others’ courtesy, she got third place with

14

points in the ranking. With 10 cards in hand, 54 points were credited, surpassing Adolf.

“Huh, why do you all have so few points?” Dewey frowned slightly.

“We can only run away from the altar because of the beast riot. We were unable to continue expanding

our

gains,” Sheryl smiled bitterly.

The truth is, as far as they’re concerned, the real test doesn’t start until the eighth stage when hordes

of

people will compete in brutal, card-grabbing fights.

But they didn’t have that opportunity to do so.

Following that, the other teams began to settle their scores. Each team made considerable progress,

with

Shannon’s team scoring 50 points, Kristian’s team and Benning’s team receiving 48 points and 46

points,

respectively. Kristian’s team fell just two points shy of Shannon’s team.

He frowned at the result. Out of the six teams that came out, they were currently ranked fifth.

At that moment, Skyler let out a dry cough. He walked over and took out his card.

“Hmm?” When Skyler took out a neat thirteen cards neatly, everyone fell into a moment of silence.

A high score of 56 appeared on the screen as a result of the calculation. Skyler’s team had ranked first,

surpassing Sheryl and Adolf.

“How is that possible!” Everyone was stunned,

“Skyler! You did great!” Darion couldn’t help but walk to Skyler’s side when he saw this scene. He

patted Skyler’s shoulder excitedly.

As the team leader, if these trial participants performed well, he could also receive good rewards within

the

Archaic Tribe.

“Why do you have so many cards?” Kristian looked at Skyler gloomily.

Now, his team was ranked last among the six teams.

Skyler scratched his head awkwardly before explaining. “Our enemies underestimated us and believed

we were weak, which led them to attack us. However, what they didn’t know was that I had recently

broken through to the level of Flame Decayer. This gave me an advantage and allowed me to trap

them.”

“Y-You learned it from Anabel?” Kristian asked speechlessly.

Skyler nodded. “How did you know?”

While they were talking, Dewey looked at Sheryl with regret. “Sigh, sure enough, luck is still needed in

the trial. This time, the beasts’ riot disrupted the trial. I didn’t expect a sideline team for the Archaic

Tribe will get the first place!”

“They’re probably not the first!” Sheryl shook her head.

“Oh? Could there be another team that has surpassed you?” Matt asked. “The Blood Tribe? Or the

seed team

of the other two forces?”

Sheryl’s expression became a little strange as she replied, “It’s still from the Archaic Tribe’s team.”

“Huh?” Darion was slightly dumbfounded.

“They’re coming out.” Just then, Sheryl looked in the direction of the island and said, “You guys can see

for

yourselves later!”

“Oh?” Dewey watched the few people who came out with interest.

The others were also puzzled.

When the trial started, this team was almost unanimously considered the weakest, with one member a

the level of peak Flame Decay and three at the level of Half-Step Flamce Decay.

Gerald and the others appeared a bit disheveled and covered in dirt, and Anabel’s once-neat white hair

was

now a mess. Standing behind her were Gerald and the others, all wearing masks.

“Reached the level of Flame Decay already?” When Brigid saw her, his expression changed slightly.

Then, she walked over to Sylvie and asked, “Sylvie, does Anabel’s team have a chance to be the first?”

Sylvie raised her head and looked at Brigid. ‘Stay away from me. The smell on you makes me sick.”

She didn’t seem to be afraid of Brigid Pierce!

Brigid seemed used to it and was not angry.

It was Kristian who quickly explained, “Yes, they probably Have a good chance of taking first place. We

were

all deceived!”

“Oh?” Brigid looked at Anabel and the others with great interest.

All eyes were fixed on Anabel as she walked towards the beach, yet she remained calm and

composed. While Gerald and the rest of the team headed into the Archaic Tribe’s camp, Anabel carried

her backpack and made her way to the front of the instrument.

Dewey looked at Anabel with interest. “I heard from them that you have a chance to get first place?

Give me your card and I’ll calculate the points!”

“Okay!” Anabel nodded.

Then, she opened her backpack, took out a thick stack of cards, and placed them on the table in front

of the

instrument.

At that moment, the scene fell into silence.
