CHAPTER TEXT:
“The third update, sigh, it seems like there's always something happening when a breakout occurs. This afternoon, I had to make an impromptu trip to the bank, which delayed my time. I just got back tonight; let’s consider this a minor update, with a real breakout on the 1st. I hope everyone understands.”
In a certain place, the Hawkins couple suddenly came to a halt.
“Kumar is dead.”
“Ye Zhongming!”
The two of them spoke these words almost simultaneously, then rushed in a specific direction at high speed.
They needed to verify their guess and notify the others to converge with them.
It wasn’t hard to guess; they had been closely monitoring Ye Zhongming's points and were well aware of their teammates' scores. When Kumar died, Ye Zhongming's score increased, and the value added was exactly one-third of Kumar's points. This fool must know what had happened.
Hawkins and Amus believed that with their strength, they should be able to reach the location where Kumar was killed in a short time and track down Ye Zhongming.
This might be a way to kill the King of Cloud Summit today.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhongming's name should soon appear on the novice kill leaderboard because he had already killed three lives.
He had a red name now.
Additionally, today was the second day of the curse of Naka, and Ye Zhongming should have lost one of his five senses; if they could find him, it would be easier to kill him.
They quickly rushed to the scene, as the distance between them and Kumar was not far; they just needed to move straightforwardly.
Soon, they saw Kumar's head on the Inner Heat Stone. At this moment, after several minutes of scorching, the head had carbonized significantly, and the body, without a head, leaned against another Inner Heat Stone. Although nothing was apparent at first glance, the sizzling sounds made it clear to them that this was the corpse of a ninth level expert. Otherwise, a hundred Inner Heat Stones piled together couldn't harm Kumar in the slightest.
Hawkins looked around and briefly examined the traces in the area, quickly reconstructing the situation that had occurred.
“Kumar died without injustice; he was completely schemed against, from psychology to strength.”
Hawkins pulled up his wife, who was squatting in front of Kumar's corpse. He felt a bit regretful; although Kumar ranked among the lowest in their team in terms of strength, his tracking ability was irreplaceable. His death would cause great inconvenience for a series of future plans.
“Today, Ye Zhongming's lost sense still isn't vision.”
Amus had just been examining Kumar's wounds to determine what sense Ye Zhongming had lost this time.
From the clean cut on Kumar's neck and the fatal injury, it was evident that if Ye Zhongming had lost his vision, he could not have delivered such a precise kill.
Hawkins nodded, suddenly puzzled, “Why haven't Wade and the others arrived yet?”
Even if they hadn't rushed over at full speed after receiving the notification, they should have arrived by now.
“Not good!”
This time, both their faces changed dramatically.
They quickly turned around, glancing at the red dot representing Ye Zhongming's position while running back.
…………………………………………
The netherworld region star people really liked others to call them "soul." Because on their planet, this word represented purity and uniqueness.
They were special energy bodies; the purer the energy, the stronger their power.
Once reaching the top level, their yearning for ‘purity’ became even more significant.
This could help them make up for many weaknesses of their race.
Because they were energy bodies, the netherworld region star people possessed several formidable abilities, such as manipulating various elements, which could be used not only for attacks but also for assistance, and they could multiply the power of elemental energy skills.
However, they also had weaknesses, such as not having an advantage in movement speed, being unable to use normal weapons, and could only choose those with soul power. They had a fatal weakness: poor resistance to mental attacks.
