Hearing Qu Jianlei threaten to leave, a layer of black spread across the stone cavern wall, gradually forming the outline of a human head.
The next moment, a faint sigh echoed through the cavern. "Sigh, little fellow, why must you force me?"
Qu Jianlei had only thrown out that threat casually, but he was serious about moving.
His four comrades had followed him across the stars, entrusting their lives and fortunes to him. How could he betray such weighty trust? It was only a few hundred thousand worth of land. Even if only for the sake of caution, he could abandon it.
But when that human head outline appeared, every hair on his body stood on end. There really was something strange here? Though uneasy inside, his face remained calm. "Sir... Senior, who might you be?"
"You're Stone... no, that's not right. You're actually Metal Attribute?"
The human head outline fell silent. After a while, it finally spoke. "What is your relationship with the Luo family?"
"I don't know any Luo family," Qu Jianlei answered expressionlessly.
He could have made something up, but unfortunately, he had never unlocked the skill tree for lying.
The other party was likely a terrifying existence, so there was no need for him to beat around the bush—at worst, they would fight.
"How is that possible?" The human head outline twisted. "You clearly follow the path of a Primal Warrior!"
"So that's what this is about," Qu Jianlei said, beginning to understand. "You follow the path of a Primal Warrior too?"
"Enough nonsense!" A cloud of black mist emerged from the stone wall and rapidly shrouded Qu Jianlei. "Show me what you can do!"
Qu Jianlei could originally have dodged outside the cavern. The Stone Gate still had a gap of four or five meters.
