Yue Shen had only just arrived at the assembly point. Before he could even greet the teammates he had not seen in nearly a month, someone called him to the front of the group.
He glanced back at the resentful faces watching him and gave an awkward smile.
He had considered taking everyone on his team into Dream Paradise through the Eternal Tower to obtain Spirit Furnaces. However, he did not know whether they might cause trouble, and Long Haochen insisted that he not reveal that he had inherited the Necromancer Legacy. In the end, Yue Shen abandoned the idea of bringing in extra help.
Besides, Yue Shen had plenty to do once he entered Dream Paradise and could not look after all his teammates. This time, after all, the opening of Dream Paradise came with an additional threat from the demons.
When he reached the assembly point for those qualified to enter Dream Paradise, Yue Shen found Long Haochen and Cai'er already waiting for him.
"Brother Yue, over here," Long Haochen called, waving.
"Brother Yue," Cai'er greeted him with a smile.
Is Cai'er only being this friendly because I've helped Haochen more than once? Yue Shen stood beside them, leaving a person's worth of space between himself and the lovey-dovey pair.
After greeting them, Yue Shen looked at the other Demon Hunters nearby who had also qualified to enter Dream Paradise. They, too, were sizing up Yue Shen, the last to arrive.
After looking around, Yue Shen found no familiar faces apart from Cai'er and Long Haochen. Clearly, all the teammates he and Long Haochen had entered in the competition had been eliminated, failing to qualify for Dream Paradise.
His gaze shifted to the two leaders at the front of the group. They were active Demon Hunt Squad members
