Chapter 109 Reencounter with the Blood Spring Gathering
Crimson Dragon World, Calabash Island.
Although it's called an island, it's actually larger than a planet. The island has a complex environment, with mountains, lakes, forests, plains, rivers, deserts, and more. At the same time, a large number of monsters captured by the Space Mercenary Alliance are released here. Among those monsters are the items needed for the assessment, which attracts adventurer teams to gather here to fight.
A vast forest near the mountains stands tall with ancient trees reaching for the sky, their trunks thick and their branches and leaves dense, as if they are about to touch the edge of the sky.
Sunlight filters through layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows and adding a touch of tranquility and mystery to the woods.
A small team is resting on the ground covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.
"We've only just arrived on this island, and two people have already died." The burly man with the tiger-like head, who had appeared at the bar near the mercenary alliance's base, spoke with a hint of anger. "We came in as a team of ten, and two of us died in the water. Then we were ambushed and killed by another team here, and two of us died..." He glanced at the team members present. Originally a team of ten, now, including himself, there were only six left. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the losses were heavy. The others' expressions were also not good. This trainee mercenary assessment was more brutal than they had imagined.
Of course, some people were thinking to themselves, "If you hadn't been so careful with your reputation and hadn't gone to save others, so many people wouldn't have died."
But no one dared to say it.
This burly man with a tiger-like head is the leader of this team and also the strongest, a ninth-level martial artist of the Eternal Star level. He also participated in a cosmic apprentice mercenary assessment once... also in the Crimson Dragon World, but failed. At that time, he was the only one left in the entire team who died, while Wolf Fox escaped back.
However, he had at least actually participated in the trainee mercenary assessment, and his experience was unmatched by others, which was an important reason why others were willing to team up with him.
The burly, tiger-headed man, over three meters tall, surveyed his team members. Not all of them were his men; some had been temporarily assigned to the team. His voice was icy: "It's fraught with danger here. To survive the trainee mercenary assessment, you need not only strength but also experience and luck! So many people have already died before we even got the first assessment item. If you don't listen to me, hmph, I don't think there's any point in continuing this risky journey."
"Don't worry, Captain, I'll definitely listen to you!"
"Captain, you've been through the world of Crimson Dragon before, we believe in you."
The remaining five team members all expressed their opinions, including the bald, pointed-eared, burly man carrying a heavy sword.
On a plain in Huludao, the grass is four or five feet tall and tough, comparable to ordinary Grade A metal.
Many monsters roam leisurely here, or fight each other.
A small squad dressed in matching dark red battle suits was carefully advancing, hiding in the grass.
"We were sent in here primarily to find the last survivor of that adventurer team." The leader, a man with a pointed chin and a receding hairline, said sternly. "Remember, don't engage in battles with other teams or monsters. No assessment items are our objective. Our sole objective is to find that person! Capture him at all costs!"
If you recognize the insignia on these people, you'll know they're members of the Blood Spring Society.
As the only testing ground for trainee mercenaries in the Jialan Star Region, even the elites of the Blood Spring Society usually come here to hone their skills.
However, this team is not here for the assessment. All ten members of the team are at the ninth level of the Hengxing level!
Blood Spring Society urgently mobilized and dispatched several hundred such squads! That is, several thousand Constant Star Level 9 warriors scattered throughout the Crimson Dragon World searching for that bald, pointy-eared, burly man.
Although there seem to be many people, they are only a small fraction compared to the total number of people taking the test to enter the Crimson Dragon World.
Scattered across the vast world of Crimson Dragons, they become rather inconspicuous.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, atop a building some distance from the waterfall, stood several powerful cosmic-level experts of varying appearances. Some wore medals that read "One-Star Cosmic Mercenary," while others were high-ranking experts who had appeared in the Blood Spring Society's lair palace.
"I didn't expect that even after we captured another adventurer, extracted information from him, and rushed to Crimson Dragon Star, we still managed to get him in." A powerful man with a black tiger-headed hairstyle shook his head, his tone somewhat displeased.
During the chaotic battle on Moon River Star, Suk's demonic guards pursued the Blood Spring Society's squad, allowing the two surviving members of the adventurer team to escape!
However, one of them was recently found by the Blood Spring Society! And they were interrogated and extracted important information!
"We'll guard the outside; he definitely won't escape this time." Another woman with jet-black wings and a charming face was full of confidence. "It would be a joke if several of us cosmic-level beings couldn't take down a single star-level being."
"What we fear most now is that he'll die inside. If he does, the information about the treasure we obtained on the abandoned planet might be lost forever," a cosmic-level powerhouse with a face as expressionless as a rock sculpture said coldly. "That's why we urgently mobilized so many elites into the Crimson Dragon World to search for him. We must capture him."
"Now, we just hope he doesn't die inside." Several cosmic-level powerhouses silently waited, looking at the heavily guarded waterfall in the distance.
It's not that they don't want to go in and arrest people themselves, it's that they can't get in!
Only those at the Constant level are allowed to enter the trainee mercenary assessment; those at the Cosmic level and above are prohibited from entering!
Despite the Blood Springs seemingly wielding immense power in their home galaxies, compared to the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, they're nothing but ants.
Therefore, they dared not violate the rules of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance and could only endure and wait outside! At the same time, they tried to send in as many of their Star-level subordinates as possible! No matter how many Star-level subordinates died, they did not care.
On the wasteland, Suk and his group of ten continued their advance, carefully avoiding other monsters. Some monsters weren't particularly frightening, but if they were disturbed, a continuous swarm would be a headache. Suk and the others didn't want to use the power of the Death Star Vine to deal with these monsters; it would be pointless and a waste of energy! "The Crimson Moon Mountains are just ahead." Eloi looked down at the map on the auxiliary computer, her eyes lighting up. "According to the map information, the Azure Beast Pearl, the assessment item we need, can be obtained near the mountains."
"Then let's go quickly." Sakumi said happily.
The group of ten sped up and made their way through the grass, which was four or five meters high. Just as they were about to reach a forest near the mountains, suddenly a series of figures flew out of the forest at lightning speed.
This sudden situation immediately made Suk and the others stop on high alert.
"Ambush us?" Saki, however, became excited. He was already bored from constantly dodging monsters; as for other teams trying to ambush us? Were they afraid?
"No, it looks like a small team is chasing another small team, no, it looks like a whole group of people is chasing a small team?" Suk said with some uncertainty after observing quickly.
As you can see, there are four people flying at the forefront, while dozens are chasing behind! They are clearly numerous and powerful! Moreover, they are all dressed in dark red battle suits. They definitely belong to one faction.
"Naldo! Surrender to the Blood Spring Society now and we might spare your life!" A voice rang out from the back of the group.
