"It's a shame there are no more fierce beasts to fight, I'm not satisfied!"
Chen Shu shook his head, looking as though he hadn't had his fill.
As a day passed, the white mist around them had faded considerably once more.
"Is it about to end?"
Chen Shu muttered to himself, quietly awaiting changes in the ruins.
The rules of each ruin were different, and no one knew what would happen next.
The white mist around him hadn't completely dissipated, but the environments of the other nineteen people had already undergone changes.
"Finally out! I can't believe this!"
A Gold-level Beast Tamer cursed, his four contracted spirits all heavily wounded and exhausted.
Surviving a battle royale involving over a hundred contracted spirits was indeed not easy.
"Don't let me catch whoever is behind this! Or I'll scatter your ashes!"
He sat down and took out healing potions from his bag to treat his injuries.
"Lord Takahashi!"
A voice filled with surprise rang out.
Takahashi Kawaru turned his head and saw a Silver-level Beast Tamer, who was part of his entourage, looking at him as well.
"Hm? The white mist is gone?"
As the two met, the surrounding white mist thinned again.
More and more people appeared…
Eventually, all nineteen people gathered. Although there were no fatalities, their contracted spirits had suffered.
One Gold-level Beast Tamer was left with only one contracted spirit.
Many Silver-level Beast Tamers had also lost one or two contracted spirits.
"No outsiders?"
Takahashi summoned his contracted spirit and kept a vigilant watch around.
If he spotted an outsider, he would strike with lethal force, but unfortunately, no strangers appeared.
Someone grumbled, "Sir, didn't they say the ruins were reward-based and not very dangerous?"
"Hmph!"
Takahashi Kawaru frowned and said, "How should I know?"
"Something's wrong with this ruin, we need to be careful!"
A Beast Tamer wearing glasses spoke up, his eyes filled with caution.
Takahashi Kawaru turned to him and asked, "Inoue-kun, something's wrong? What do you mean?"
"I'm not sure either!"
Inoue shook his head and said, "But I can be sure of one thing, the ruins are definitely not supposed to be like this!"
The current state of the ruins was utterly absurd!
While everyone was talking, a pair of lewd eyes were watching them from the white mist nearby.
"These people can't see me?"
Chen Shu stroked his chin, letting out a 'hehe' chuckle.
"Should I just blow them up?"
Chen Shu's eyes darted around as he took out a bottle of silver-gray potion, feeling a bit tempted.
As he was contemplating, the white mist in front of him had unknowingly dissipated.
His figure was directly exposed…
"Hm?!"
Instantly, all nineteen people looked over, their gazes locked onto him.
"What are you looking at? Keep looking and I'll really blow you up!"
Chen Shu pouted, completely unaware that the white mist had already cleared.
Roar roar roar!
At this moment, contracted spirits stepped forward in unison, their eyes fierce, as if they were about to pounce.
"Hm? What's going on?!"
Chen Shu also realized something was amiss, he touched his body and asked:
"You can see me?"
The expressions of the group were strange; they said nothing, but their demeanor provided the answer.
Yamamoto No bowed deeply and calmly said:
"You were the one who lured the fierce beasts earlier, the one who planted nuclear bombs at the entrance, and the one who changed the ruin's rules, right?"
Anyone could hear the anger in his voice, threatening to erupt at any moment.
"Uh..."
Chen Shu scratched his head and said, "I was just joking, can you forgive me?"
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, countless high-powered skills rained down, wishing to obliterate him.
"Damn it!"
Chen Shu's body tensed, and he turned to flee. Fortunately, he was close to the white mist and successfully entered it.
Hiss hiss hiss!
Countless skills flew towards him but seemed to vanish into thin air, causing no disturbance.
"Hm? This white mist?"
Takahashi Kawaru frowned, his eyes filled with uncertainty and surprise.
"Kobayashi, use a detection skill!"
A Silver-level Beast Tamer nodded, and the bird on his shoulder unleashed a skill, but it detected no life signs.
"Sir, should we chase?"
The group hesitated, fear of the unknown always gripping people.
"Hmph! I will kill him!"
Yamamoto No strode forward, riding his sole contracted spirit, and charged directly into the white mist!
"Yamamoto, don't be rash..."
Before the words were even finished, Yamamoto No had already plunged into the white mist.
Time slowly passed, and no sounds of battle could be heard.
Just as everyone was preparing to mourn him, he reappeared.
"Are you alright?"
"No, there's something wrong with the white mist!"
Yamamoto No shook his head, his eyes filled with killing intent, and said, "I couldn't find that brat!"
"It seems they can't see me anymore!"
In fact, Chen Shu had been staying near the white mist, observing everyone's situation.
Just moments ago, he and Yamamoto No were only a meter apart, yet neither had detected the other.
As the group pondered what to do next,
The white mist in another direction churned, as if some terrifying creature was about to appear.
"Hm? Be careful?!"
The expressions of the five Gold-level Beast Tamers changed, they immediately sensed the danger.
However, no change occurred!
Crack crack crack~~
Eerie sounds echoed from all around, but the white mist gradually subsided.
Two days flew by.
During this time, the white mist churned five times, but nothing happened, as if it were constipated, unable to produce anything…
And the 'crack crack crack' sound persisted.
Everyone looked bewildered, no longer understanding the situation.
"Inoue, what do you think?"
Takahashi Kawaru turned to him, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Based on the current situation, the Ice Fire Ruins follow a mechanism of hunting fierce beasts for rewards!"
Inoue adjusted his glasses and calmly said, "All we can do is wait!"
Another day passed.
A Silver-level Beast Tamer muttered, "Has this ruin been broken?"
