"We make a heavenly contract!"
The mysterious man said bluntly, causing the other party to be slightly stunned.
"You don't have to be so formal, right?"
Xiaorou's expression changed slightly, and she was frightened by the other party's seriousness.
"If there is no contract guarantee, how can our bet be established?"
The mysterious man said with a smile, easily letting down Xiaorou's defenses.
"That makes sense..."
She said with a smile, she felt that God was helping her. If she didn't sign a contract, if she won, she could easily regret it with the strength of her predecessors!
With the guarantee of the contract, her victory is guaranteed!
No matter how powerful the senior is, he should not be able to defy the power of heaven, right?
But she just guessed wrong. With the mysterious man's cultivation level, which was at the fifth level of the Holy King, even if he openly broke the contract, the Heavenly Dao could not do anything to him at this moment.
From the very beginning, he himself was at zero risk, and whether Zhou Tong was capable or not had no impact on him.
The so-called contract is nothing more than a means to restrict the weak.
"Okay, we have a deal. Let's sign the contract now!"
"Xiao Rou, calm down. Don't get carried away. Otherwise..."
The companions and others tried to persuade him in a panic, saying that those who are involved in the matter are confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. They did not believe that pie would fall from the sky!
"Hmph...are you jealous of me?"
Xiao Rou was getting impatient with being advised, so she opened her mouth and made her companions' faces change suddenly.
At this point, it would be embarrassing for anyone to try to dissuade him. No one would feel good if they were accused of jealousy.
Along with these words, there also came a rift between the partners. A word can hurt more than a sword, and they are no longer close to each other!
"Are you going to swear an oath or not? My time is precious. You'd better get your companions' consent. Don't let them suffer a loss and then blame me for not reminding you."
The mysterious man spoke in a calm tone, as if he was mediating, but in fact he was trying to sow discord.
"Senior, don't pay attention to them. These people are not my biological parents, nor are they my brothers and sisters. They are just some familiar people. What qualifications do they have to interfere in my affairs!"
As soon as these words were spoken, her companions were shocked and their faces turned pale.
They never expected that a close companion who had shared life and death with them would evaluate them like this. They were just familiar people, but these six short words were worth a thousand words and were sharper than pointing at someone in the nose and scolding them!
In the past, Xiaorou was not only cute and sensible in the team, but also had a close relationship with the leader. Everyone loved and protected her, and every time they experienced danger, she was always the one who was least injured!
If she hadn't had the protection of everyone, she would have died countless times. But now she wants to cut off ties with them. Does she feel that she has won the game and has completely climbed up to become an unrivaled powerhouse, and no longer wants them as a burden?
No matter which situation it is, it is enough to make people feel disheartened!
"It seems like we were just being too sentimental!"
The companion who initially tried to dissuade them shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling that everything was so not worth it.
"You're smart, Senior... We can start now."
"Haha...I can't wait either."
The two of them hit it off immediately and recited the spells and made vows respectively.
In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky, thunder roared, and mysterious law texts appeared in the void, arranged in an orderly manner, presenting the entire content of the bet between the two parties.
"Confirmed, please execute!"
The two said in unison, and then the contract turned into two rays of light and merged into their bodies respectively.
The contract is done!
"Great, Senior. Let's hurry on!"
Xiaorou said impatiently that the situation was urgent and not a minute could be wasted. She had already been delayed for a long time, which would be disadvantageous to her.
"Where are we going?"
The mysterious man raised his mouth corners and asked casually.
"Of course, we should go directly to the designated meeting point!"
After saying this, the mysterious man smiled even more obviously, while her companions all looked gloomy!
Xiaorou has changed completely!
If there was no bet, she would directly ask the mysterious man to go to the place where Zhou Tong and others went to rescue people. Only in this way could she meet the leader in the shortest time and maximize the possibility of averting the accident.
But now, in order to win, she directly gave up this route. What she was afraid of was that Zhou Tong and others would really defeat the three tribes by chance and reach the finish line before them.
She is racing against time and eager for quick success. She can give up everything for the bet!
"She is no longer Xiaorou."
One of the companions shook his head and said.
"No, maybe this is her true self."
After these words were spoken, the three of them fell silent. This was a great sorrow for them.
Their pampering has produced an ungrateful person!
“Hey…are you guys going to leave or not? Are you planning to kill me by wasting time? You guys are such jealous people. How can I be your companion!!”
Seeing that the relationship was about to be torn apart, Xiaorou's words immediately became unscrupulous. From then on, she no longer needed these useless people.
"The girl is right. We must set off now. Time waits for no one."
The mysterious man held the silver-armored warrior with one hand, and lifted Xiaorou up with his aura with the other hand, urging her with a smile.
This situation made the few people realize something. The mysterious man was even unwilling to touch Xiao Rou. If he didn't have mysophobia, then he would only be disgusted.
Come to think of it, a person who abandons his companions will be despised wherever he goes.
"Senior... please forgive us for our impoliteness. We want to take another route!"
After the three of them looked at each other, they mustered up the courage to speak to the mysterious man.
"Oh... Don't you know how dangerous this is? If you encounter a strong enemy, not only will your leader not be saved, but you will also be killed. I advise you to think about it."
"No, we swore to live and die together. The leader has done us all a great favor. He is our elder brother. If he dies, we will just accompany him. We will never live in disgrace in this world. Farewell!"
After finishing speaking, they left without even turning back, without any trace of reluctance.
"A bunch of idiots!!"
Looking at their backs, Xiaorou showed a mocking expression. In her opinion, this group of people were seeking their own death and did not deserve any pity or sympathy.
"If you ask them to stay, they might stay!"
"That's not necessary. I have no obligation to save a bunch of encumbrances. We can go now, senior. Please move on as fast as you can!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
The mysterious man displayed his extreme speed. Xiaorou seemed impatient, but she didn't know that he was even more impatient!
…
On the other side, the three people walked through the thorns and headed in the direction marked on the map.
"Are you all ready?"
The older man had a hoarse voice, but his expression was extremely calm.
"Why are you saying these useless things? Once the arrow is shot, can it be retrieved? We will never regret it. I can't wait any longer. Don't hold me back!"
The other young man waved his hands irritably, took the lead, and ran at the fastest speed, with a heroic spirit of being ready to die!
"Haha... If the young guys are doing this well, how can we fall behind? Leader, we are here to accompany you!"
The three of them laughed loudly, as if they had let go of everything. Perhaps it was because their minds had become more open-minded, but their speed increased by more than one level, and they soon reached their destination!
However, what was waiting for them here was not the severed limbs of Zhou Tong and others, nor the vicious creatures of the three tribes, but only a large open area.
"What's going on? Are we in the wrong place?"
"No, the place is correct, but the battle is over."
"hiss…"
One of them gasped, his tone becoming uncertain: "Maybe... maybe this is a good thing, the boss and the others might have really joined us up ahead!"
"It's possible that they were abducted and became food for the three tribes!!"
"Pah, pah, pah... Can you shut up and move on?"
With a faint hope in their hearts, the three of them walked forward with heavy steps to investigate, but it turned out to be nothing. The scene in front of them made them shudder.
“What…what is this?”
They saw a large number of corpses, all of which were from the three tribes, and judging from the remaining aura, these guys were all saint-level warriors when they were alive.
What's even more terrifying is that they didn't have any scars on their bodies, and their expressions were all filled with fear. It was obvious that they were killed instantly by an unimaginable and absolutely irresistible force!
How terrifying is the person who attacked? His strength might even be greater than that of the mysterious man!
"So... the boss is very likely not dead. They are just lucky people who happened to meet a powerful person passing by!"
"Is there a possibility..."
The older man had a solemn expression on his face. He only said, "There was no strong person passing by. That man and woman were the strongest beings!"
“How is this possible!?”
For a moment, the other two widened their eyes, trying to deny this speculation.
"Think about it carefully, why did the mysterious man dare to bet with Xiaorou so confidently? Isn't he afraid of a setback?"
"If this is not enough, think about it again. Who came up with the plan to split the troops into two groups...!"
After these words were spoken, the other party suddenly woke up from his dream.
“I understand!!”
"It was that young man who proposed it. He personally drafted the plan to divide the troops. The mysterious man didn't even have the slightest objection and just followed his instructions!"
“Oh my god, isn’t this a bit too scary… Maybe we are all wrong. The man and woman are not the followers of the mysterious man. On the contrary, the mysterious man is their follower!”
"It's possible... but this is just our guess. Isn't it a bit too far-fetched?"
As soon as the words fell, a green light immediately appeared in the void. The three of them looked and found that three talismans appeared out of thin air!
