People Who Love Courting Death Either Died Long Ago or Gathered Together to Wait for Death!

This was too embarrassing!

Song Yuqing's face was crimson. Her hands helplessly clutched the hem of her dress as she lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.

All she could do now was imagine that what had just happened had never happened.

That way, she would not be so at a loss.

"Big Brother, how did you find us?"

Although Wu Yingying and the others had deliberately spread some information on their way to Profound Ice Valley,

it was not easy to find them within the vast Profound Ice Valley.

"The places you passed through carry a special fragrance."

Zhao Chen glanced at Song Yuqing before continuing, "Perhaps you yourselves are unaware of it."

He had arrived here just in time to overhear the conversation between Song Yuqing and Wu Yingying.

He had only heard a sentence or two, but he could infer that Song Yuqing's father had contacted her, likely regarding leaving the Spirit Road early.

However, Song Yuqing had clearly made her own decision and would not leave the Spirit Road ahead of time.

That was why she had specifically told Wu Yingying not to tell Zhao Chen about it.

After all, there was no need to.

"So that's how it is. We don't have any secrets."

Wu Yingying sniffed the faint scent in the air. She had grown accustomed to it before, but after Zhao Chen's reminder, she realized that the fragrance came from Song Yuqing.

It was not from some special sachet, but rather...

"No way!"

Song Yuqing's face had already become scorching hot.

She knew all too well just how sensitive Wu Yingying's nose was.

After Zhao Chen's reminder, Wu Yingying would definitely notice it.

So Song Yuqing hurriedly rummaged through her Storage Bag, found a sachet, and quickly argued, "The scent Big Brother smelled should have come from this, right? I only put it in recently, so the fragrance hasn't faded yet. I originally used it to keep spirit beasts from noticing us, but it seems I overlooked this issue."

In the blink of an eye, the faint fragrance had been covered by the scent of the sachet.

The corner of Zhao Chen's mouth twitched. What a blatant self-deception.

He turned toward Mu Chen, who had been following behind them, and introduced him to Wu Yingying and Song Yuqing. "This is Mu Chen, my classmate—the one I told you about before. He already has a Third-Level Spirit Body."

When Zhao Chen arrived, Wu Yingying and Song Yuqing had already noticed the unfamiliar person.

Only now could they confirm that he was Mu Chen, whom they had learned about back in the Guardian Land.

The two spoke in unison, "Hello, Mu Chen. I'm Wu Yingying/Song Yuqing."

Mu Chen scratched his head, realizing that before entering the Life and Death Trial Arena, Zhao Chen had already told Wu Yingying and Song Yuqing about him.

So they had long been worried about his safety.

A warm current surged through Mu Chen's heart, and his trust in Zhao Chen and the others rose considerably.

"Hello!"

He smiled, then said, "I ran into Brother Zhao Chen by the Corrosive Poison Water River. Are your points enough to get into the top thirty?"

If they did not have enough points yet, they needed to hurry and earn them.

After all, earning points in this Life and Death Trial Arena was simply too difficult!

Thinking of this, Mu Chen felt somewhat regretful.

If he had known, he would have earned more points earlier and would not be worrying so much now.

"Huh?"

Wu Yingying and Song Yuqing exchanged a glance, then said with smiling eyes, "With Big Brother here, of course we have enough!"

Mu Chen was dumbfounded. So he was the only one still short on points?

That should not be the case.

Everyone in this Guardian Land should have been short on points.

It was only a matter of how many points they lacked.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen smiled. "How many points are you short? I can transfer some to you."

He paused, then added, "Of course, if you need to kill spirit beasts, that is not a problem either."

After all, they still had to stay in the Life and Death Trial Arena for half a month.

The rules were right there. Whether they had enough points or not, that would not change.

Zhao Chen was not worried about points. He was simply waiting for some death-seeking fools to come over.

That way, he could stretch his limbs a little.

And pick up some rewards while he was at it.

"Cough, cough!"

Mu Chen nearly choked on those words.

Was he serious? Something that was extraordinarily difficult for the vast majority of people—earning points—was merely a formality to these three!?

If that white-robed instructor, Jiang Jie, found out, who knew whether he would be pleased or what his reaction would be.

"Um, Brother Zhao Chen."

After recovering, Mu Chen said, "For now, I can't take your points. I'll try earning them myself first during this time. Getting into the top thirty should not be a problem."

If something unexpected truly happened, then he could seek Zhao Chen out.

He was not that stubborn. Who would make trouble for their own life?

If he failed to reach the top thirty in the Life and Death Trial, his Crimson Token would shatter, and he would be exiled from the Spirit Road until the Spirit Road ended and closed, resulting in death!

"Alright."

Zhao Chen nodded slightly, then looked beyond Profound Ice Valley.

A group of people was closing in from that direction.

Every one of them held sharp weapons, their faces filled with Killing Intent.

"Are these people here to surround and kill the Ice Crystal Beast!?"

Wu Yingying and Song Yuqing were full of confusion. Even if the Ice Crystal Beast was a fifth-level spirit beast and the sole king of Profound Ice Valley,

it should not have been selected as a target for so many people to kill.

Besides, who had such great ability as to unite so many people?

There was only one Ice Crystal Beast.

There was only one spirit beast essence, and only thirty points.

One point per person!?

No, that was wrong. There was not even enough to divide evenly!

No matter how they looked at it, something was off.

Zhao Chen stared at the people closing in and said thoughtfully, "The fifth-level spirit beast, the Ice Crystal Beast, is only one of their targets. Their true target..."

Wu Yingying and Song Yuqing widened their eyes and listened intently.

They also felt that something was wrong, but they could not yet see these people's true purpose.

Zhao Chen's gaze narrowed as he said calmly, "...is us!"

Only this possibility could explain why so many people had gathered here, each one carrying Killing Intent.

"Ah!?"

Wu Yingying and Song Yuqing were instantly stunned. They had considered the possibility that some treasure existed within Profound Ice Valley, where the Ice Crystal Beast resided.

Perhaps such a treasure could allow someone to pass the Life and Death Trial directly.

But they had never expected that the true targets would be them!

Could it be that, through some inexplicable turn of events, they had become thorns in nearly everyone's eyes?

The final boss was actually me!?

Mu Chen frowned deeply and carefully observed the many people surrounding them. In the end, he fixed his gaze on the three people at the front and said to Zhao Chen, "Brother Zhao Chen, so many people must have been gathered by those three. Their purpose is likely points."

Following Zhao Chen's train of thought and considering that the three of them already had enough points,

the intentions of these people became clear.

Without a doubt, they had learned that Zhao Chen's group had plenty of points and intended to take a share, ensuring that they could leave the Life and Death Trial Arena alive.

Hearing this, Zhao Chen seemed to think of something and actually laughed.

He had thought that people who loved courting death would not have survived until now.

But it seemed they had all gathered in one place.

Ready to wait for death.
