Chapter 242 - 242 The Stigma Returns to Hai Yue
With another loud bang, Chu Yan slammed the centaur to the ground again.
“Crack! Crack!”
Everyone heard the sound of the centaur’s bones breaking again, and they could not help but feel their scalps go numb.
Chu Yan swung back and forth, and the sound of bones breaking rang out.
Bloody!
Shocking!
It was a tragic sight!
In the end, the centaur died a tragic death and became a pile of meat patties.
Chu Yan cleaned up the dust and hair on her hands, took a deep breath, and said, “I’m so tired.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Yan found that Lu Benwei and the other three were looking at her with green faces.
“What’s wrong? Did I scare you just now?” Chu Yan asked, confused.
Everyone nodded subconsciously, but the next second, they noticed the rapid change in Chu Yan’s expression and shook their heads at the same time.
…
Soon, everyone obtained the stigma of the secret realm of the ruins. The energy it emitted was purer than the energy Zhao Xiaoqi absorbed.
After the group of people tried to merge them one by one, only Lin Feng and Hai Yue were able to merge with it.
“Senior Hai Yue,” Lin Feng waved his hand and said, “I’ve just obtained the legacy stone tablet in the secret realm. I’ll let you have this stigma.”
“My level is higher than yours.” Hai Yue waved her hand in refusal. “You should absorb this stigma.”
Lu Benwei gave his opinion at this time. “The energy emitted by this stigma is vast and thick. It’s most suitable for a knight. Hai Yue, you don’t have to be polite. Everyone will have it when the time comes.”
Hai Yue had no choice but to sit down cross-legged and use her divine sense to merge with the stigma. Very quickly, Hai Yue entered a meditative state of fusing with the stigma.
“The fluctuations of the stigma fusion will attract a lot of people,” Lu Benwei said softly, “We’ll lie in ambush here and guard against those who want to rob us.”
Chu Yan and the other two nodded and each found a hidden corner to hide in.
…
After about half an hour, people came in one after another from the secret realm. It was as if they had discussed this beforehand. Five to six teams had joined forces and were heading in Hai Yue’s direction.
Very quickly, they arrived in front of Hai Yue.
“I’ve worn out my iron shoes in a long search, but I found it without any effort.”
The leader of this group was the top student of a first-rate A-level hunter university. His class was the same as Hai Yue’s, a heavy shield knight. The moment he saw Hai Yue, he knew that she was the most suitable person for this stigma.
“Li Yan, something’s wrong. Why is she the only one here? Be careful of an ambush!”
However, Li Yan had long been dominated by desire. His eyes were only fixed on the stigma on Hai Yue’s head.
“What’s the ambush?!”
Li Yan rubbed his hands excitedly, and his eyes glowed with greed.
“I haven’t washed my hands of this stigma yet. I can still snatch it and absorb it myself. Don’t worry, you’ll get your share after I’m done absorbing it.”
After saying that, Li Yan took the lead and went straight to Hai Yue. The others rolled their eyes helplessly and followed Li Yan.
When Li Yan got close, a flying ax spun from the dark and chopped at him. He reacted quickly and immediately summoned a heavy shield.
“Chi!”
The sharp blade cut through the metal, making an ear-piercing buzzing sound.
Everyone stopped in their tracks at the same time and said with a panicked expression, “Not good, there’s an ambush.”
Some of them even had the thought of killing Li Yan. If he had not been so impulsive, he would not have been ambushed. Moreover, to be able to defeat the monsters guarding the secret realm, this team must be strong.
Li Yan shouted coldly in the direction of the flying ax, “Who is it? If you want to fight, come out!”
The most suitable stigma was right in front of him, and Li Yan could not resist at all. The people behind him were anxious. “Li Yan, let’s go. Let’s not disturb them.”
Li Yan was not willing to give up. He stomped his feet and rushed toward Zhao Xiaoqi.
The heavy shield smashed down, and Zhao Xiaoqi’s position was instantly exposed. Everyone was stunned. They vaguely remembered that this person was not a member of the magician’s team.
At this time, Lu Benwei and the others saw that Zhao Xiaoqi had been discovered and appeared one after another, locking everyone together from four directions.
Everyone blinked their eyes again in a daze, and their eyes swept over the four people from head to toe.
“As expected, it really is that team of magicians.”
Everyone was amused, feeling a sense of relief after surviving a disaster.
“Hey magician, wake up your teammates and get lost. Don’t delay us from accumulating points,” someone in the crowd shouted.
The other people’s expressions were also full of ridicule, and some even made a throat-slitting gesture at Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei frowned and said, “I think you’re all mistaken. We’ve surrounded you. If you want to live, you must hand over half of your points.”
When the crowd heard this, they blinked in confusion, suspecting that they had heard wrong. Then, someone in the crowd suddenly laughed out loud. It was like a bomb had exploded in the crowd. Everyone held their stomachs and laughed wildly.
“The four of you are surrounding us?”
“If you were one of the ten great monster-level geniuses, it’s fine. But you’re just a puny magician.” Li Yan pointed at Lu Benwei’s nose and smiled.
...
In the next second, his expression turned impatient. He could see that Hai Yue was absorbing the stigma at an even faster rate. As long as it exceeded 50 percent, he would not be able to take the stigma away.
“Get out of here.” He scolded. “Don’t delay me from absorbing the stigma.”
Lu Benwei looked at him indifferently and said, “You should be the ones leaving. We don’t want to fight with you and affect my teammates.”
Li Yan suppressed the anger in his heart and threw out a slender stick-like object from his storage space.
“Clang! Clang!”
With a soft sound, the slender stick rolled to Lu Benwei’s feet.
Li Yan pointed at him. “I know it wasn’t easy for you to defeat the monsters guarding the secret realm. I got this weapon by chance. Blame your bad luck.”
“You want to exchange a blue-level weapon for our stigma? It should at least be a purple-level high-tier weapon, right?” Lu Benwei sneered.
Li Yan was surprised. Lu Benwei did not even lower his head, so how did he know that the weapon was a blue-level weapon?
“Lin Feng, can I leave him to you?” Lu Benwei asked coldly.
Done talking, Lin Feng let out a strange howl and charged toward the crowd. Li Yan also casually sent out another person to deal with the enemy.
...
That person and Lin Feng were engaged in close combat.
“Slash!”
Lin Feng brandished his sword and flicked his wrist upward. The weapon in the man’s hand was immediately flicked off by Lin Feng, and he felt a chill in his throat. In the next second, Lin Feng withdrew his sword and kicked out, sending the person flying.
Everyone was shocked, thinking that Lin Feng’s strength should not be underestimated, and they all joined the battlefield.
At this time, Li Yan was in a hurry to get the stigma and rushed toward Hai Yue. Just as his hand was about to touch the stigma on Hai Yue’s head, a figure with a powerful aura descended from the sky.
