Chapter 1151: Too Weak

That's also true..

The remaining two Third Rank who agreed nodded their heads.

If they were the ones to kill these insect swarms, they would definitely consume more than half of their strength.

Perhaps Awakened Ones with area-of-effect skills would consume less, but spellcasters are relatively fragile; in battles among Awakened Ones, they actually don't need to worry.

"Sneak over; if we find they're from the same war zone, then we'll cooperate."

"If they're from a different war zone.."

A flicker of coldness flashed in his eyes; Imran made a gesture, directly signaling to kill the opponent!

After a simple tactical arrangement, the entire team instantly entered a somewhat tense, excited state.

Following behind Imran, a Third Rank wielding double daggers licked the corner of his mouth, his figure appearing and disappearing.

"I hope there are more Second Rank on their side.."

"Kill a Third Rank then a Second Rank, the points are quite a lot."

"I dare not even think about a Fourth Stage Card, but I've taken a liking to a piece of Equipment and a Spiritual Energy Fruit..."

As he spoke his thoughts, the other Third Ranks also let out low laughs.

Exactly.

In the Brahma War Zone, where supplies are extremely scarce, this confrontation's exchange system is practically a treasure, attracting them.

Killing someone yields points. Compared to the thankless effort of killing insects, it's obvious that hunting Awakened Ones is the way to go!

Thinking that the opponent might already have occupation points, the desire in several people's eyes grew even stronger.

"I actually want to exchange for several hundred tons of gold to go back and build a golden palace."

"Anyway, that thing isn't worth money; after exchanging for the desired equipment, there's still enough left."

Although gold is worthless after the apocalypse, due to Brahma's traditional notions, as someone of lowly birth, he instead has an obsession with such things.

Several people heard his 'dream,' snorted, and then could understand.

But more so, they fantasized about what they could exchange for after earning points.

In their eyes, the distant gathering place resembled a treasure, waiting for them to uncover.

In no time at all.

Since it wasn't far to begin with, the squad soon reached a yellowish-brown hill.

"A gathering of a thousand people!?"

"It looks quite big.."

Carefully observing the outskirts of the gathering, the double-dagger Third Rank responsible for scouting felt fiery inside, his eyes constantly searching for traces of suspected Awakened Ones.

The larger the gathering, the more points it represents.

Just thinking about how fortunate they were, they had found a ready-made gathering and could hunt weakened Third Ranks.

Like a pie falling from the sky, several people couldn't help but feel excited.

"Looks like there's no one!?"

"Are they hiding in the gathering place, resting?"

After a quick observation, aside from seeing the Heavenly Eye People moving about in the outskirts, they found no trace of suspected Awakened Ones at all.

However, this at least indicates that the opponent is few in number and not very vigilant.

If it were them, after occupying a gathering, they would definitely send some people to the outskirts to guard against other Awakened Ones; they wouldn't hide inside.

"That's perfect!"

"Come on, let's sneak over! If they discover us, we'll go all out and kill them!"

Although excited, Imran still gave another reminder based on basic combat proficiency.

Having numerical superiority doesn't mean there's no risk in battle.

Being fellow Third Ranks, if the opponent fights desperately, they might still have someone to account for here.

"I'll go scout first!"

"My talent allows me to distort light; ordinary Third Ranks can't detect me!"

"But first, let's agree: I want half of this haul!"

Volunteering, the agile Awakened One wielding double daggers shimmered, then seemed to melt into the air and vanished.

Only a faint phantom remained, like the edge of glass, barely revealing a hint.

"No problem, the kill reward goes to you!"

Knowing the double-dagger man faced the greatest risk, although somewhat reluctant, Imran still agreed to the distribution plan.

After deciding on the action, several people held their breath tightly and quickly moved toward the gathering.

In just a few short seconds, even while concealing their tracks, the group reached the outskirts of the gathering in an extremely short time.

"They haven't detected us!"

"Charge!"

No longer bothering to hide anything.

At this distance, if they haven't shown up, it likely means they're inside a building, or they've noticed us and are now panicking and hiding; they might even try to flee soon!

With no more reservations, aside from the perpetually invisible double-dagger man, the others suddenly burst with full speed; amidst the panicked gazes of the Heavenly Eye People, they instantly charged into the gathering, ready to seek out hidden enemies.

Bang!

In the burst of speed, the leading Imran did not dodge or avoid, directly shattering the nearest Heavenly Eye Person. Like a ferocious beast, he charged in.

"Alien species! Again, alien species!"

He shouted in alarm.

The already panicked Heavenly Eye People, upon discovering the assailants, instantly fell into chaos.

They didn't expect to run into Lin An, and then alien species came after them. Moreover, the appearance of these alien species showed they were obviously more brutal than the previous demons.

"No! I didn't see anything!"

"Nothing here!"

They loudly reported the situation.

After the few who rushed in stared around intently, their hearts were filled with anxiety.

Damn it, none of them were mental-type; relying solely on eyesight and perception, they actually failed to detect the opponent's traces for a moment.

"Search!"

"Go there!"

Reacting slightly faster, the leader Yimulan quickly scanned around and immediately saw the trash pile that Lin An had been looking through. It was obvious that this situation could not have been caused by the Heavenly Eye People themselves.

But just as a system notification sounded, several people's hearts jolted.

"Heavenly Eye People, can they restore spiritual energy?!"

"It also has this function?!"

Just as Lin An had just entered the gathering place, several people exchanged glances, suddenly realizing something.

Not good, the opponent might have already replenished their spiritual energy!

But why haven't they come out or fled yet?!

Out of instinctive caution, Yimulan's charging search figure paused; after realizing the opponent might not be depleted of spiritual energy, he still cautiously chose to temporarily group together.

For some reason, a faint sense of danger quickly welled up in his heart.

Where is the person? How come there's no movement at all?!

Without waiting for him to think further.

In an instant, the entire squad suddenly heard a light laugh behind them.

"What are you..."

"Looking for me?"

Instinctively turning his head in haste, in an instant, several people felt their hairs stand on end, and even that third-rank assassin hiding his traces had his soul fly away in terror!

When did they get behind us?! Why do we feel nothing at all?!

Only then did they see Lin An standing behind them, arms crossed, watching them with interest.

Although he gave off no aura, seeing that eerie, terrifying mask caused Imulan's pupils to contract sharply, as if he had thought of something extremely horrible.

"Mask?!"

It appeared silently behind them.

"Who is this man?!"

There was no time to think further.

In an instant, Lin An's figure appeared before him like a teleport, and he casually slapped down with a palm.

Under the enormous gap in strength, Imulan felt his entire surroundings locked in, an irresistible fear nearly shattering his mind.

He was so strong that he was no longer on the same level.

It was as if a top predator had caught him; in despair, Imulan couldn't even utter a sound.

"Bang!"

With a sound of flesh and blood exploding.

After Lin An casually slapped down, the third-rank Awakened One Imulan, leader of a faction, instantly turned into a puddle of meat, dead beyond death.

In an instant, the sudden change frightened the entire squad into fleeing.

"Lin An! He's Lin An!!"

"Run!!!"

Heart-wrenching, they couldn't spare any extra emotion or action; several people fled in all directions without hesitation, feeling utterly unlucky.

They, they actually ran into Lin An!

Standing there, Lin An speechlessly shook off the meat scraps on his hand.

"So weak.."

"I actually accidentally slapped him to death.."

Slightly shaking his head, Lin An was speechless at the bald-headed man's weakness, and his gaze turned back to the several people fleeing in all directions.

With a cold snort, he casually summoned the Nether Shadow Blade, and under the control of Arcane Power, it instantly turned into a sword stream slashing toward several people.

He hit them, yet they still want to run?

He truly didn't know how these small fry had the nerve to scheme against him...

Being this weak, where does he get the confidence to imitate others and launch assassinations?
