Chapter 917
Chapter 917 I Love Divination
Gerald and the rest did not linger after entering the second level. They were most likely one of the slowest teams to enter the
second level.
They evaluated that it was unlikely they could catch much even if they were to set up an entrapment here, so they quickly rushed
toward the third level. They did not face any obstacles along the way. When they were about to reach the third level, they
stopped to fish.
However, this time, Anabel and Carolyn became the fishermen. Carolyn took the initiative to conceal Anabel’s aura. They stood
in a very conspicuous spot where it was easy for anyone to notice them.
The result turned out to be equally effective!
Not long after, both of them gained attention from other people.
Soon, four figures approached Gerald and his team.
“Huh?” A weird voice rang out. “You guys managed to reach the third level without harm?”
Gerald looked over and frowned slightly. The people who came this time were Kristian and Reuben and their team members.
Anabel quickly became alert. She stood up, looked at Kristian and the others, and said, “Are you... thinking of fighting us?”
Kristian shook his head and said, “I won’t lay hands on people from the same tribe. Wait, how did you reach the level of Flame
Decay?”
In a moment of hastiness, Anabel’s hand left Carolyn when she stood up earlier. As a result, she could not suppress her aura.
That was how Kristian caught a whiff of her aura of a Flame Decayer.
“Yes, I broke through!” Anabel hurriedly said.
Kristian frowned and said, “No, no. You undoubtedly just reached the level of peak Flame Decay, but when your hand left that
woman... She’s the one who helped to suppress your aura... This...”
Kristian was an intellectual man; he instantly realized what was happening. He looked at Carolyn in shock and asked, “Are you
also a Flame Decayer?”
Carolyn would not be able to help Anabel suppress her capability if she was not a Flame Decayer.
Therefore, he quickly determined that Carolyn was also a Flame Decayer. However, her capability showed she was only a Half-
Step Flame Decayer.
“Anabel... You’re playing dumb!” Kristian looked at Anabel with a wry smile and said, “I was wondering why you both are
standing in such a conspicuous spot when you have such weak powers. You’re trying to entrap us, aren’t you?”
Seeing her plan was exposed, Anabel could not help but show a hint of embarrassment on her face. “She’s just a Half-Step
Flame Decayer, but she’s better at concealing auras, so...”
“You don’t need to explain!” Kristian pursed his lips and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone anyway. It’s good to have another
team from our tribe in the top ten spots.”
Only then did Anabel relax and nod..
At that moment, Sylvie, wearing a veil, walked out. She looked at Gerald and Valery and asked, “So... are they Flame Decayers
too? They deliberately suppressed their auras and only showed the strength of a Half-Step Flame Decayer?”
After she threw out the question, Kristian and the others immediately took a step back.
Various scenarios ran through Kristian’s mind. That’s right. Gerald and Valery only showed their strength as half-step Flame
Decayers. Could it be that they have reached the level of Flame Decay? If Anabel and the others are a team of four Flame
Decayers, then this is a weird situation.
“We’re genuinely just half-step Flame Decayers,” Gerald said awkwardly.
Sylvie looked at Gerald suspiciously. Obviously, she did not believe them.
“All right. You guys continue fishing. We’ll be taking our leave now.” Kristian felt something was amiss, so he decided to leave
first.
Gerald took a step forward and said, “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. Let’s talk for a while!”
“Stop right there!” Kristian saw Gerald approaching, and he hurriedly took two steps back and said, “There’s something wrong
with you. Were you trying to kill us just now?”
Gerald was speechless. This guy is being too cautious.
“No, I was not. I only want to seek information,” Gerald replied helplessly.
“If you have something to ask, just do it there and then. Don’t take another step forward. For certain, you’re not a Half-Step
Flame Decayer. I don’t trust you at all.” Kristian glared at Gerald.
Gerald was dumbfounded. He stood still and said, “All right. On your way here, have you met any beasts?”
Hearing his question, Kristian stroked his chin and said in a deep voice, “Did you notice that too? After we arrived at this level,
our journey had been smooth without any obstacles. We did not encounter any beasts with the level of Flame Decay. Instead,
there were several signs of beasts moving toward the center.”
“I performed divination!” Sylvie chimed in, “If we continue to advance, it will be treacherous.”
“Divination?” Gerald looked at her puzzledly.
“Yes.” Sylvie nodded and said, “I’m interested in these things.”
Gerald never believed in divination. Moreover, it was obvious that further advancement would endanger their lives since the
beasts were moving toward the center.
Gerald and the rest had a pretty good impression of Kristian’s team.
Firstly, they did not attack people within the Archaic Tribe, unlike Kameron’s team. This was how a family should behave
Secondly, Sylvie had helped Gerald before, although he did not understand her intentions for doing so.
Thirdly, Kristian might be arrogant, but from the earlier conversation, he was rather easygoing and humorous.
Gerald stroked his chin and asked, “Have there been similar situations in the previous trials?”
“Not that I heard of. Beasts have their habits; they normally don’t move away from their territories. It’s very unusual to have so
many high-level beasts disappearing suddenly!” Anabel shook her head and said.
Gerald looked at Carolyn and thought of a possibility.
There was a woman called Brigid.
Gerald had previously witnessed Brigid launching a beast attack, which she admitted was her doing. Subsequently, she was
wounded by Gerald, and it brought an end to the beast attack. If it were not for Gerald, nobody knew how long the attack would
have continued!
And now, Brigid was outside! Could she be thinking of wanting to launch this beast attack? The more Gerald thought about it, the
more possible it seemed.
Brigid was from Nether Palace and was most probably sent to be undercover in the Archaic Tribe. Nether Palace and the Eight
Forces were absolute enemies, representing the alternation in power between the two dynasties.
As someone serving Nether Palace, it was natural for her to want to gather the future talents of the Eight Forces in one place
and send them to their deaths.
Although he had that thought in his mind, Gerald did not say it out loud.
“Anyway, you all be careful!” Kristian said. “I shall not get in the way of you guys fishing. We’re heading to the fourth level first
and see if we can get some points!”
As he spoke, he slowly retreated while facing Gerald and the others. He cursed while retreating, “Damn it! Why didn’t I think of
your strategy before? I should have made myself look less powerful, and then come in here to fish. We can earn more points this
way!”
