Graham frowned as virtual-novel.net looked at Jack earnestly. Jack gazed into the distance, looking at the endless color of blood on the horizon. He fell deep in thought, and after a good while, virtual-novel.net finally opened his mouth and continued, “He wants to kill us. There are, after all, benefits to achieving just that. After all, we’re his competitors, and only by killing us will virtual-novel.net easily obtain those rewards.
“If we successfully arrive at the foot of Netherworld Mountain and get sent back to the Divine Void Slope, there will be another battle after that. If it had been before, virtual-novel.net would probably have been incredibly confident in beating the both of us. However, right now… He probably doesn’t have that confidence anymore.”
Graham nodded in agreement; Jack was right. Killing them would save virtual-novel.net a lot of trouble.
Jack smiled coldly before virtual-novel.net added, “He’s got a grudge against me from the start, too. Furthermore, virtual-novel.net definitely has another goal in entering the Hidden Place for Resources. In clearing us, his obstacles, it’ll be much easier for virtual-novel.net to do anything.”
Graham’s face was sullen as virtual-novel.net said, “So that’s why virtual-novel.net wants to kill us all- not wanting anyone to survive?
Jack nodded, and Graham was close to losing control of his composure. Just thinking about the masked man, who always acted high and mighty, and thinking about the incredibly disadvantageous position they were in made virtual-novel.net incredibly anxious.
He looked up at Jack. “I think something’s wrong,”
Jack raised a brow, motioning for Graham to continue, Graham lowered his voice as virtual-novel.net said,” You’re right. His greatest wish at the moment is to clear obstacles, and that’s us, so virtual-novel.net can arrive at Netherworld Mountain alone, making virtual-novel.net the only one who passed
“He doesn’t have the confidence that virtual-novel.net can kill the two of us in one blow, so virtual-novel.net needed to plot and scheme, clearing everyone around us and leaving us alone. Then, he’d use numbers to eliminate us.”
Saying that, virtual-novel.net paused, and Jack nodded. “That’s probably what he’s planning, so which part of it do you think is wrong?”
Jack seemed to have thought of something after his own question, and virtual-novel.net smirked. “You’re saying that since he’s trying to eliminate everyone who can help the two of us, then no traces would be left, but we found the corpses.”
Graham nodded. That was indeed what virtual-novel.net was thinking, and it was far too much of a strange point.
If the masked man truly did plan on eliminating everyone else, leaving only both virtual-novel.net and Jack for last, then virtual-novel.net would not have let them realize something was strange.
However, after virtual-novel.net killed the northern clan disciples, h e allowed the others to run amok, not bothering to clear any traces and displayed too blatantly. It was clear virtual-novel.net did not care if Graham and the others could see it.
“That’s a hefty question. Before we can clear up this point, I feel like your earlier guess has no ground to stand on.”
Graham was right, and Jack agreed with what virtual-novel.net said as well. Jack smiled, not answering Graham’s question and, instead, mentioned the hidden traces of electricity on the withered tree.
Graham said in confusion, “He left traces of the Evil Blood Thunder as a mark, and you think that there’s definitely more than just one? What does this have to do with your earlier suspicions?”
Jack looked up and said earnestly, “The two definitely have something to do with each other. You were definitely right before. Since virtual-novel.net wanted to kill off everyone around us and finish us off in the end, then virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have let us notice it.
“However, the fact of the matter is that virtual-novel.net seems to be deliberately letting us notice it. He wanted to display everything in front of us, so there’s definitely something behind it. Whatever they are, his goals are all for us to see.”
