Chapter 296: From Pa.s.sive to Aggressive and Brony's Compromise

"Oh c.r.a.p! I've been discovered!"

Qin Ruo who has been locked in sight by six eyes broke out in cold sweat was certain that being detected by Cerberus was due to him using Elemental Perception to examine it.

"So strong!"

Fortunately, even though Elemental Perception: Water might have alerted Cerberus, it seemed that the Boss did not intend to immediately come over to him for trouble. Its six eyes had a cold, cruel, and fierce gaze in them—locking down the user of Elemental Perception in a deathly stare.

"Try showing off again and I'll send you packing!"

"F*ck! Don't make a fuss out of nothing to scare people…Get a grip!"

Around Qin Ruo, the two groups of people squabbling could be heard. The person who yelled out first was an Elementalist from Netherspirit's Claw Clan. Back then, he was the first person to make a move, hence, he felt embarra.s.sed and fiercely cursed in rage at the few players that shouted back to alarm everyone. With a glance at the unmoving, huge monster not far away, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in fear, while his mouth continued to curse of not understanding the surrounding situation—causing the few Bowmasters to hang their heads low in shame!

The Bowmasters had indeed died in vain, not knowing how. The Boss obviously had a hostile impulse—its murderous and oppressive intent could not be mistaken! Yet…why was it suddenly not moving?

A few felt like weeping but could not shed any tears, and suffered grievances worse than death.

Upon witnessing this, the Elementalist from Netherspirit's Claw chided with even more vigor.

"Fools!"

"Will the Boss come over from so far away? Do you really think it's that stupid? If the Boss could easily be lured out, then the rewards kept behind the waterfall would have been taken countless times."

As these words were spoken, the concealed Qin Ruo was finally certain…

Sure enough, these people had the same objective as him. Unfortunately, it looked like he was not the first lucky person to receive this kind of information.

Qin Ruo did not bat an eyelid as he retreated several steps back, rationally choosing to temporarily detach himself from the Cerberus' stalemate situation. Firstly, he was not very certain whether the Boss would impulsively come out to kill. Secondly, the Boss' reaction from just a moment ago had at least ill.u.s.trated a problem: Cerberus' had acute sense with its field of vision most likely to reach a distance of a hundred meters. This was not good news, as its field of vision might be able to cover the entire area near the waterfall. It would probably be more difficult to sneak into the waterfall without disturbing the Boss.

When the powerful suppression and the uncomfortable feeling of being locked down by a viper disappeared, Qin Ruo quietly returned to where the confrontation of two groups was…

Tremendously grateful to the Elementalist who had spoken earlier, Qin Ruo found out that these two groups of people had taken an interest towards this lair, and that disputes had arisen among them due to their intention of obtaining the treasure, which had led to their confrontation.

Since these people's objectives were the treasure…then it looked like he did not need to worry about people stalling the Boss, since this would be the concern for members of Netherspirit's Claw and Hall of Heroes.

However, during this time, these two groups of people might have to first resolve the master-servant issue—probably have a discussion for a while.

It seemed that Qin Ruo's speculation was way too mild!

It was obvious that members of Netherspirit's Claw did not intend to share the treasure behind the waterfall with Hall of Heroes members. After that arrogant Elementalist brutally reprimanded the few Bowmasters together, he returned in anger to the thirteen players in front.

"I will say the same words: the Bandit who had killed your people is not related to my party in any way. If you're looking for revenge, then it's best to go find him. And stop messing with me here!"

"Also, you all do not have the right and strength to explore this place. Later when I make my move, you all better stay far away. If you dare to mess with me, you'd better think twice!"

After the Elementalist "Brony" intimidated the person on the opposite side, he gestured violently at the comrade behind him.

"Do it!"

Behind Brony, there were seven ordinary members of Netherspirit's Claw League and nine people belonging to different small clans, but the strength of their equipment seemed pretty good. Almost all of them more or less possessed a few Gold equipment. It appeared that their strength was by far more superior compared to the other side.

Brony's words had only just settled when a Berserker from the opposite side spoke up, "Wait!"

"What? Bizarre Blade? You're still not willing to give up?"

Brony lifted his chin slightly and flared his nostrils, as he fixed a cold gaze at the Berserker "Bizarre Blade" while sneering in his heart.

Even though they were fellow members of the same League, even though the three Leagues of Angel Faction had established an agreement: there cannot be any internal strife in Graveyard of the G.o.ds. However, the strong rivalry between the Clans had existed for a long time, and could not be resolved with mere words. Furthermore, when profits were involved, the rules would not mean anything.

Otherwise, when they had reached this place earlier, they would not have killed off the Bandit that Bizzare Blade arranged to enter the waterfall. If Bizarre Blade insisted on competing, then he would meet a bad end… Along the way, he had already obtained a few Honor Points. Although not be able to annihilate the people from the opposing side, would the people behind him dare to make any move to get rid of Bizarre Blade and trio?

Bizarre Blade looked grim. Looking at Brony and sixteen eager team members backing him, he felt a little apprehensive. How could he not know the aftermath of the result? However, the death of a comrade and the unknown treasure buried behind the waterfall made him unable to let go easily.

However, seeking revenge and competing—both required strength…

Being obviously inadequate, he could only bring out the three great Leagues' agreement established in Vast Frost Palace: "The matters earlier shall be considered as a misunderstanding. I will not pursue it against you further. However, don't you forget that the three great League Masters had established an agreement in the Great Winter Hall. Brony, could it be said that you will go against the words of the three League Masters?"

Brony's expression sank.

"Get straight to the point, no need to twist your words!"

Being an ordinary League member, there is still a deep apprehension toward the superior big shots above. Seeing that Bizarre Blade had suddenly mentioned the three great League Masters, whom he could not disregard so braced himself to ask.

Bizarre Blade snorted and said, "The three great Leagues' agreement is thus—if League members encounter each other in Graveyard of the G.o.ds, they must not kill either side, must not loot, must not rob the treasure and if one party requests to form a party, the other must agree."

Speaking of this, Bizarre Blade's face showed a faint smile as he looked at Brony's increasingly gloomier expression.

"What do you think? What I've just said is comprehensive enough, right?"

Brony glanced at him bitterly, and in an unfriendly tone asked, "What do you want?"

"To team up."

Bizarre Blade's reply made people from both sides feel stumped. Qin Ruo stared blankly, not expecting Bizarre Blade to actually come up with such a proposal. This made him, who had initially wished to see both sides fighting and killing each other, become a little dumbfounded. Later, it can be heard that someone behind Brony had laughed out loud.

"Team up? Haha, stop joking. Just now you were against us, and now you want us to team up with you? You're ridiculous."

"That's right! Why should we team up with you?"

"Moreover, our party is full. You think you can enter as you wish?"

These few people each threw their sarcastic remarks in turn at Bizarre Blade, yet Bizarre Blade remained unmoved. Even the members behind him could not say anything, silently watched the one known as Brony on the opposite side.

Just as the members behind were chattering and some shouting sarcastic remarks, Brony and few of the silent Netherspirit's Claw members' expression kept changing. Suddenly, he turned and bellowed at the top of his lungs, "All of you, shut the f*ck up!"

Several people who had fiercely shouted immediately became quiet, looking at Brony in astonishment.

Bizarre Blade ignored the startled blokes and in contrast with the pa.s.sive nature earlier, smiled at Brony.

"Have you considered it? To team up or not? Hmm?"

Brony's expression paled by few notches, and for a while exchanged glances with the few Netherspirit's Claw members behind him. None of them said anything.

The silent atmosphere finally made the non-League members behind feel uneasy as they stopped their chatter and stared blankly at the two. Brony and the one who turned from pa.s.sive to aggressive—Bizzare Blade.

After a full ten seconds…

"My team is already full."

Brony expressed these words in an obviously less arrogant manner, with a tone which sounded as if open for discussion, seemingly very uncertain.

"Oh, that means you want those players not part of the agreement, and not us? Hey, it seems that Netherspirit's Claw League's discipline is nothing to cry about, even the League Masters' agreement does not have any binding force.Sigh …"

Bizarre Blade's words were like knives held against Brony's neck, making him red-faced.

"That's a shame! Fine, I'll go offline now and upload a video of this in the forum. Let everyone get to know the true reputation of Netherspirit's Claw League."

"Wait!"
Brony's expression had completely changed. He glared at Bizarre Blade then nodded toward the two non-League members behind him.
"You two, retreat."
