Ye Xiwen remained silent, but he vaguely understood why Yao Qian had stayed here. She was probably waiting for the Xiong Squad.
And when Yao Qian had said they could find people to form a team with after reaching the Chaotic Demon Sea, she had likely meant the Xiong Squad. Among all possible teams, they were probably the only ones who met their requirements.
Within the Chaotic Demon Sea and Chaotic Demon City, everything was utterly lawless. There were practically no rules—only one simple principle: the strongest fist ruled. There was no city lord to maintain order, either.
This city had gradually formed through scattered settlements. From the very beginning, it had never possessed a powerful ruler. Even if one did emerge, they would have been someone who thrived amid chaos, so naturally they would not bother managing anything.
Influenced by such an atmosphere, the people here were much like the Devil Race—cunning, cruel, and embodiments of every negative word one could think of.
Thus, even temporary teams formed through mutual understanding could face betrayal. A team might fall apart in an instant simply because the spoils had not been divided fairly.
Therefore, choosing qualified companions who would not betray one another lightly was extremely necessary. This Xiong Squad had clearly worked with Yao Qian before, and their cooperation had apparently been quite pleasant.
That was why, when entering the Chaotic Demon Sea again, Yao Qian had chosen the Xiong Squad. The reason she had waited here was also so that they would find her.
At that thought, Ye Xiwen suddenly understood.
As for whom he worked with, it did not make much difference to him. Still, he naturally preferred reliable companions.
If the Xiong Squad truly was as good as it seemed, Ye Xiwen did not mind joining them
