After hearing Ye Chen's words, everyone pondered for a moment before making up their minds. One after another, they rose from their lounge chairs.
"All right, since you've put it that way—"
Oko was the first to respond to Ye Chen, wearing a smile of complete trust.
"Then let's have ourselves a good fight~"
Firona clenched her fists, her face brimming with fighting spirit.
"That's right! Even if the sixth Nightmare realm really is as absurd as Ye Chen says, those arrogant remarks earlier were still seriously irritating! We have to make him learn just how formidable we are!"
Erigat straightened his massive back.
"Mm. To be honest, I really want to have a serious fight with Ye Chen too! After all, this means challenging an Apex Hunter! Who would be willing to let such a precious opportunity slip by!"
Weimeng let out a relieved chuckle.
"Hehe, since it's the captain's order, I couldn't refuse even if I wanted to. So I'll truly accompany you to the very end, consequences be damned."
Xiya solemnly reminded everyone present.
"However, everyone must remember this: if anyone encounters an unexpected situation, or feels that their body or mind has suffered a severe blow, they must immediately call off this contest. No matter what, we cannot fight until we lose our minds!"
Seeing that all his teammates had accepted the invitation, Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good."
As soon as he spoke, he gave the Black Ring around his wrist a light shake, and a full set of hunter uniform instantly replaced his clothes.
Oko, Weimeng, Xiya, Firona, and Erigat followed suit, each of them immediately reverting to the appearance of battle-hardened assassins clad in black.
Thus, the leisurely and cheerful atmosphere by the sea turned taut with drawn swords in the blink
