Pfft!
Before Jemas could understand what Bai Ye meant, he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen. He looked down and saw that the broadsword in Bai Ye's hand had already pierced his body.
"You..."
Jemas opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. The gushing blood blocked his subsequent words.
"It seems you, like them, didn't understand my meaning. These are two different things." Bai Ye smiled and said, "I really didn't intend to save you."
The moment he finished speaking, Bai Ye fiercely drew his broadsword, bringing out a splash of blood.
Jemas's eyes gradually unfocused, his body swayed, and he finally fell to the ground. Blood flowed from beneath him, forming a pool.
"You have killed a participant (Fantasy World)."
"Due to the first-time completion of killing a Fantasy World participant, you have received a reward: Fairy Horn x1."
"You have obtained a fragment of God Stone."
"You have obtained an Entry Ticket to City of Sin (Gotham) (Item) x1."
Bai Ye didn't understand why those three people thought he killed them to save Jemas, nor why Jemas thought he was killing people to save him.
He was just killing people on the side to see if he could get a God Stone fragment.
Or...
Bai Ye touched his face.
Did he look like a kind person?
Bai Ye shrugged and looked at the light screen.
Killed four, obtained two God Stone fragments. Not bad.
"Wait a moment!" Bai Ye looked at his inventory and casually took out a piece of paper. "What is this?"
Bai Ye unfolded the paper. It was black on both sides, with several large characters on one side: Welcome to the City of Sin (Gotham).
Entry Ticket to City of Sin (Gotham): An entry ticket that allows access to the City of Sin, Gotham. When the number of participants reaches three hundred, a teleportation can occur. Upon the death of this item's holder, it will automatically transfer to the hunter. Current number of participants: 172/300.
"An entry item for a hidden restricted area?" Bai Ye curved his lips. "I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise."
Obtaining an entry ticket to a hidden restricted area was definitely a joyous occasion. One only needed to look at how much Bai Ye and Jin Sha had obtained in the chaotic restricted area of the entire city.
If they didn't split the spoils, at the lowest starting price of fifty million for black-quality items, one hundred million could be exchanged for two black-quality items!
Moreover...
City of Sin?
Bai Ye couldn't help but chuckle. He was familiar with this place!
The World Battlefield was vast. Even though Bai Ye had reached the end in his previous life, he hadn't visited every corner of it. For instance, he had never been to the Jura Great Forest in his previous life.
As for places entered through items like hidden restricted areas, it was even more so. How could Bai Ye have obtained items for all hidden restricted areas?
However, the City of Sin...
It happened to be a hidden restricted area Bai Ye had visited.
After putting away the Entry Ticket to City of Sin (Gotham), Bai Ye glanced again at the reward for the first kill of a chosen one in the Fantasy World.
Fairy Horn (Item) (Green): Can randomly summon a fairy to assist. Different fairies possess different abilities.
A small green-quality trinket, nothing much to say.
In fact, first kill rewards were mostly green-quality, with a small chance of blue quality.
Of course, there were occasional exceptions, like...
Sunflower Manual!
That was a golden-quality martial art, but what was obtained from a first kill reward was only a partial scroll, and it also required castration...
Bai Ye would rather pretend he hadn't killed anyone from the Wuxia World!
As for green or blue quality first kill rewards, they were extremely valuable when first entering the World Battlefield, instantly boosting combat power and increasing the chances of survival. But now, their value was just so-so.
Casually putting away the items, Bai Ye waved to Gengar and continued walking deeper into the forest.
As Bai Ye's figure slowly disappeared, a figure suddenly leaped down from a large tree behind him. It was Li Jiayi.
"Tsk tsk..." Li Jiayi came to Jemas's side, pinched Jemas's chin, and looked at him. "I really don't want to save an idiot like you; it's a pure waste of my items."
Li Jiayi complained, but he still took out a palm-sized straw doll with a yellow talisman attached. The talisman had Jemas's name written on it.
As Li Jiayi tore off the yellow talisman...
"Ugh!"
Jemas suddenly groaned. The wound in his abdomen, pierced by Bai Ye, healed at a visible speed, and his pale complexion gradually regained its color.
"Damn it!" Jemas suddenly opened his eyes and cursed, "That bastard actually went through with it, not giving me any chance at all!"
Li Jiayi stood up and looked at Jemas. "I told you long ago that your idiotic plan wouldn't work. How could someone like him have any mercy? Nor does he have any so-called friends. Besides, did you have any prior dealings with him?"
Jemas gritted his teeth. "I often chatted with him in the Demon Beast Kingdom. Even if we weren't friends, we were at least on good terms, right?"
"To him, there are only two types of people on the World Battlefield: those with interests, with whom he can cooperate, and those without interests, whom he can kill. Hey, what is 'good terms'?" Li Jiayi said dismissively, looking at the corpse beside him. "Because of your naive idea, I lost three people and used a substitute puppet on you!"
Jemas regretted it. "I shouldn't have planned anything. I should have just used a sniper rifle to ambush him."
"It's useless. Didn't you shoot during the previous battle? Did you succeed in sniping him? You are no match for him!" Li Jiayi said. "I didn't stop you because I knew that no amount of words could be as convincing as failing once. Don't provoke him anymore. It's best if we don't see each other again and stay out of each other's way. If we happen to run into him again, then we'll find a way to try and kill him."
After speaking, Li Jiayi turned and walked towards the forest, but in the opposite direction of Bai Ye.
Jemas clenched his fist and hit the ground unwillingly, then got up and followed Li Jiayi. "Since you understand him so well, it means you've seen through him. Don't you know how to deal with him? You know, Kurumit didn't die at the hands of the Pig Head Emperor in the end, but died at his hands, causing our mission to be only half-completed. It's difficult to find the Demon King by this means. Moreover, including this time, he has disrupted things three times. Aren't you angry?"
"Of course I'm angry, but anger is not a reason for me to lose my mind."
Li Jiayi glanced at Jemas, his gaze suddenly turning cold.
At that moment, Jemas felt a strong sense of pressure. Li Jiayi's gaze made him feel fear.
The reason I understand him is not because I've seen through him!
It's because...
I'm the same kind of person as him!
If you weren't still useful to me, do you think you'd be alive?
Li Jiayi sneered in his heart, then slowly shifted his gaze away from Jemas's face.
"Let's put this matter to rest. Don't think about it anymore." Li Jiayi walked forward and said, "The Entry Ticket to City of Sin (Gotham) in your hand should have been transferred to him, right?"
Jemas lowered his head guiltily. "Yes, I forgot about that thing. I should have given it to you earlier."
"Forget it." Li Jiayi took out an Entry Ticket to City of Sin (Gotham) and handed it to Jemas. "Find someone to trade it with."
"Ah?" Jemas said. "Aren't we going?"
Li Jiayi said, "I told you, it's best if we don't see each other again. Since he got the entry ticket, he'll definitely go, so we won't."
Jemas was still unwilling. "Is it necessary to avoid him like this?"
Li Jiayi's face gradually showed impatience. He looked at Jemas and said, "Make it clear, who is in charge now? Have I been too polite to you usually?"
"Sorry!"
Jemas quickly apologized, but his right hand, holding the entry ticket, involuntarily clenched into a fist.
