Bai Ye heard the other party's conversation clearly and could tell that they seemed to have designs on him.
Bai Ye was not surprised by this. He had made a grand exit from the Huainan King's tomb, so it was normal for someone to target him if they thought he possessed a treasure.
However, from the dialogue, it seemed that quite a few people were after him, and they had already gone to blockade the mountain passes.
This made Bai Ye a little perplexed.
It was possible that a group of people were targeting him; there were many people in the hall at the time. But for a group to be organized and targeting him felt strange to Bai Ye.
Generally speaking, after struggling in the World Battlefield for a while, some people would gradually adopt a strategy of mutual support to survive better, as humans are, after all, social creatures.
Of course, these people usually did not fare well. Because, as time went on, as everyone accumulated more fragments of God Stones, someone would always have ideas. Everyone hoped to be the one to leave the World Battlefield, and the outcome was predictable.
These were not mere speculations for Bai Ye, as he had personally witnessed all of this happen in his previous life.
But the World Battlefield had not been open for very long, and even cross-regional activity was rare. Most people were still operating within their randomly assigned areas, and the World Battlefield was still in the exploration and discovery phase. How could people start banding together so quickly?
With a sense of doubt, Bai Ye waited until the voices approached him and then gradually drifted away before peeking out his head to take a look. xxs壹贰
The two men appeared to be in their early twenties, and their attire…
Bai Ye's eyebrows shot up. "So they're from the Hidden Dragon Society. No wonder they're gathered together."
The World Battlefield had appeared sixty years ago, and it opened once every ten years. Therefore, the World Battlefield had actually opened six times.
So, in these six openings of the World Battlefield, has no one ever managed to collect ten God Stones and climb to the top of the central tower?
That was impossible!
Bai Ye himself had stood before that so-called Gate of Gods, only one step away. If it weren't for that damned "Try Again" note, Bai Ye felt he should have returned to his own world by now.
So, what would those who left the World Battlefield and returned to their own worlds do?
Bai Ye wasn't very clear about this, because the world Bai Ye belonged to was not a powerful one. In the previous five openings of the World Battlefield, everyone who entered had disappeared, or more directly, they had all died.
However, Bai Ye knew that the Hidden Dragon Society was formed by these people.
The Hidden Dragon Society came from a certain world of supernatural abilities. Because they had "seniors" who had left the World Battlefield providing information, they would gather together as much as possible after entering the World Battlefield and were well-informed about many things within the World Battlefield, thus gaining significant advantages.
At the same time, these individuals were extremely ruthless. Before most people had figured out what kind of place the World Battlefield was, they had already been rampaging, killing, and looting while everyone was still in a state of confusion.
Those who found treasures in forbidden zones were inevitably primary targets. Secondly, in the early stages of the World Battlefield's opening, chosen ones from certain specific worlds would also become their targets. For example, chosen ones from cultivation worlds, even if they were new to the World Battlefield, could yield good items brought from their cultivation worlds after being killed, such as flying swords, talismans, and occasionally decent magical artifacts.
Bai Ye had some grievances with the Hidden Dragon Society in his previous life. He had been targeted by these people three or four times, and had even had a near-death experience, being forced by members of the Hidden Dragon Society to jump into a river. If it weren't for his good luck, Bai Ye might have been chatting with Yama at that time.
Thinking to himself, Bai Ye watched the retreating backs of the two men, curled his lips, and slowly followed them up the mountain path.
Bai Ye's temperament was always tit-for-tat. The grudges from his previous life were not settled, and he would continue to settle them in this life.
Moreover, judging from their previous conversation, the mountain passes on both sides of the mountain path were ambushed by their men. Therefore, unless Bai Ye intended to traverse the mountains and cross the ridges, he would inevitably have to confront the members of the Hidden Dragon Society.
It was at this moment…
While Bai Ye was contemplating how to deal with the members of the Hidden Dragon Society and successfully leave Bagong Mountain, the quietly receding footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Huh?"
Bai Ye quickly pressed himself against the mountain wall by the side of the mountain path. Soon, the footsteps grew closer until they stopped.
Before Bai Ye could figure out what was happening, about two meters away, two streams of water suddenly appeared and poured down from above, carrying a strong, foul odor.
Bai Ye cursed inwardly, immediately realizing what these two fellows were doing.
"Bastards, what did you eat." Bai Ye tried his best to hold his breath, cursing in his heart, "You're so full of fire, it's suffocating!"
After enduring until the two finished urinating, Bai Ye hesitated for a moment. A fierce look suddenly appeared on his face. He peeked out to take a look, and then, while one of them was preparing to pull up his pants, he suddenly leaped up and grabbed the man's pants.
The sudden appearance of someone startled the man, but his shock was short-lived.
Because…
A cold glint flashed.
Bai Ye grabbed the serrated blade and swung it.
"Ah!"
The man immediately clutched his lower body and let out a pained scream, then fainted from the pain.
Bai Ye also felt a bit awkward. He had intended to slash at the abdomen, but unexpectedly, with one strike, he sent the man to practice the Sunflower Manual. However, the outcome was the same; it was all about getting rid of him.
The next moment, Bai Ye pushed off with his feet, leaped onto the hillside, and looked at the other man, saying, "You were looking for me, weren't you?"
The man was also startled by Bai Ye's sudden appearance. It wasn't until Bai Ye jumped up that he reacted and unhesitatingly threw a punch towards Bai Ye.
Feeling the strong wind approaching, Bai Ye nimbly retreated half a step and raised his arm!
*Bang!*
A dull thud of flesh meeting flesh.
The opponent's strength was considerable, but Bai Ye's body had been enhanced by the T-virus, so taking this punch was effortless.
But at this moment, the man in front of Bai Ye smiled strangely and suddenly shouted, "Savage Physique!"
Bai Ye's heart sank.
Damn it, he forgot that the guy in front of him was from a world of supernatural abilities.
In an instant, the muscles of the man in front of Bai Ye swelled like a balloon. His height, which was originally shorter than Bai Ye's by a head, around 1.7 meters, instantly grew to over two meters.
At the same time, the force transmitted through his fist also surged, and then…
With a *bang*!
Bai Ye was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a large tree.
