"Brother Chen? What's going on? Are we being watched? We didn't buy anything valuable, did we?" Fatty said in surprise when he saw the floating island chasing after them.
"They don't know if you bought anything valuable. Besides, this might be an old acquaintance of ours!" Ye Chen said calmly, steadily controlling the floating island to leave. In any case, there were too many people here, which was not a good place to fight.
Now that I've become a lord, battles are inevitable. Even if it's not a dark creature, there are other lords vying for my territory.
After all, it's much easier and more enjoyable to seize a lord who is clearly inferior to oneself than to fight to the death with dark creatures.
"An old acquaintance? Damn! Lin Ziang? And his underlings?" The fat man was slightly taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise. The only person Ye Chen could call an old acquaintance was Lin Ziang.
“Yes, for scions of such prominent families, compensation is a small matter, but losing face is a big deal!” Ye Chen nodded. Both Yue’e and the Silver Leaf Moon Elf had excellent night vision and had already spotted the people behind them.
"Speak, Brother Chen! What are you planning to do?" Fatty gritted his teeth and asked fiercely, looking at the person behind him.
My family is from a merchant background, and in this world invaded by darkness, ordinary merchants can't survive.
"What are you doing? Let's retreat first. Look how many magic crystal bombs you have left. If you really want to fight, try to blow them back directly!" Ye Chen said irritably.
In the Trial World, the death of a lord only results in failure in the trial, losing the qualification to become a formal lord, and inevitably facing retaliation upon returning to Earth.
Therefore, Ye Chen still doesn't want to kill anyone unless absolutely necessary.
Although he seemed much calmer than the fat man, the peaceful society of his previous life had made him lack the ruthlessness that the fat man possessed.
Of course, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, and if things really come to a head, it won't hold back.
"Okay! I'll listen to you!" The fat man nodded, knowing Ye Chen's concerns, so he didn't rush to make a move.
As the two moved further away from the location of the trade fair, the surrounding space gradually became more open and spacious.
Whether it was them or Lin Ziang and the others, they were all accelerating and flying towards the uninhabited area outside.
"They're speeding up!" As the population thinned out, the fat man who had been watching behind him suddenly shouted. This sudden acceleration meant they were about to make a move.
"How many magic crystal bombs do you have left?" Ye Chen glanced behind him and asked in a deep voice.
"As you said before, only sixty or seventy were reserved! There are only two Tier 1 ones!" the fat man replied.
"Except for those two Tier 1 ones, throw out the rest all at once."
"Huh? In one breath? Throw it out?"
"What do you mean 'huh'? Just throw it away when I tell you to!"
"But wouldn't so many at once be too powerful?"
"Then why don't you wait a little longer, until they get a bit closer? And then we can blow ourselves up too?"
"Uh, I'll have someone throw it away right now!"
...
There are quite a few goblins in the fat man's territory, with sixty or seventy magic crystal bombs. Even two goblins working together can throw them out with perfect accuracy.
Suddenly, one after another, magic crystal bombs flew towards the island behind them like shooting stars in the darkness.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
A tremendous roar resounded behind us, and even from a great distance, we could feel the intense energy fluctuations emanating from it.
The territory where the five people were located was already covered by a large area of fire.
However, Ye Chen only glanced at it, and did not stop on the territory beneath his feet, continuing to fly into the distance.
"Awesome! These bastards, they must have been blown up, right?" the fat man shouted excitedly, but Ye Chen shook his head.
"It's not that easy. Don't forget that these are just some level 0 magic crystal bombs. Normally, they might not even kill a level 2 creature."
These magic crystal bombs are only made using level 0 magic crystals. They have the potential to threaten level 2 creatures, but that doesn't mean they can definitely kill them.
As for the five floating islands behind them, there are bound to be quite a few Tier 2 creatures. In fact, as long as these magic crystal bombs are detonated in advance with ranged attacks, they can be safely destroyed. This is one of the reasons why low-tier magic crystal bombs are not very valuable.
Sure enough, as Ye Chen finished speaking, a floating island burst out from the flames and continued to chase after them.
"Damn! You were right, there really is someone who's alright!" The fat man was on the verge of tears. Couldn't he have been proven wrong a little earlier?
"That must be Lin Ziang, dressed in a flashy Flame Robe. Do you think his territory's defenses can't withstand these magic crystal bombs you made from Rank 0 magic crystals?" Ye Chen teased with a smile, glancing behind him. Only Lin Ziang had chased after him; his four henchmen hadn't escaped the explosion of the magic crystal bombs.
"Oh, that's terrible, now he's all alone!" The fat man said with a sigh when he saw that there was only one person. He wasn't afraid of being alone, after all, Ye Chen's Yue'e was a proper Tier 3 unit, and there weren't many who could deal with him at this stage.
The attack by the magic crystal battle clearly angered Lin Ziang, and the floating island increased its speed even more, obviously wanting to catch up with Ye Chen and the others as soon as possible.
"Is this the burning magic crystal to speed up the territory? We can't let him catch up yet, we need to widen the distance a bit more!" Ye Chen thought to himself as he glanced behind him. He then took out a Tier 2 magic crystal, and the energy inside immediately flowed like a spring towards the ground beneath his feet. The floating island's speed increased even more, and even the clouds and mist on the island dissipated considerably.
