161 Chapter - The Strength Of Other Channel Leaders
The opponent's target wasn't Bai Cheng, but Zi Yuan, who stood before her, also exuding a War General-level aura.
Clang!
In the darkness, blades clashed, and a dazzling shower of sparks instantly erupted.
At the same time, Zi Yuan's domineering aura spread outwards, stunning all the surrounding ants.
The two suddenly clashed; Zi Yuan stood rooted to the spot, unmoving, then with a fierce burst of strength, she directly forced the attacking figure back several meters.
The opponent landed steadily, and only then did Bai Cheng react.
"It's also War General-level! Is it this guy's employee?"
But when the flashlight beam hit the figure, Bai Cheng was immediately startled.
She saw the opponent, clad in dark black general's armor, quietly standing with an ancient Tang saber in hand.
And at the moment the light shone on him, the opponent also threw a strangely shaped unknown object to Bai Cheng, which traced a black parabolic arc in mid-air.
Zi Yuan caught it first, and after confirming there was no danger, she handed the item to Bai Cheng.
She looked closely, her expression growing even more puzzled, because the item was none other than the spoils of the Demon Ant.
"The spoils are obtained from killing the Ant King and Ant Queen; there are only two items."
The man in black armor spoke, but his voice surprisingly revealed a hint of youthfulness.
Bai Cheng frowned, and before she could ask, the opponent continued: "As leaders of our respective channels, everyone is indeed outstanding. I see kindness and integrity in your face; I wonder if you have any intention of cooperating?"
As he spoke, he voluntarily removed his armor, and behind the bronze mask was a youthful face full of heroic spirit.
At the same time, the moment the opponent's armor dissipated, it re-converged into a human figure, causing both Bai Cheng and Zi Yuan's pupils to contract.
The two exchanged glances; they were intimately familiar with this aura, and they were even more certain that the figure formed by the armor was indeed one of the youth's employees.
"Although the recent attack carried no killing intent, merely as a test, I still apologize for this rude behavior."
Then the opponent stepped forward, completely revealing himself in Bai Cheng's flashlight beam.
The youth was dressed in a black fitted suit, with a slight smile on his face.
"Why should I cooperate with you?" Bai Cheng retorted.
She wouldn't feel indebted just because the opponent gave her spoils; after all, she could handle this herself.
"You're right, that was indeed a bit presumptuous," the youth chuckled, then began to introduce himself, "I am Ye Liangchen from Channel #521."
"Bai Cheng," Bai Cheng replied out of politeness, as the opponent bore her no ill will.
"Because of strength," Ye Liangchen also replied, "I can unleash War General-level strength, and I'm only one step away from breaking through. Even your employee alone cannot defeat me."
These words were somewhat arrogant, but the fact that the opponent could temporarily break through such limitations was truly surprising.
His talent and abilities must surely be extraordinary.
Most importantly, Zi Yuan did not refute the opponent's words at this moment, which was what concerned her most.
"How about this, I acknowledge your strength, but since I made the request," Ye Liangchen's lips curved into a smile, "how about we make a bet?"
As he spoke, he pulled a pack of gum from his pocket and handed it to Bai Cheng.
"Want some?"
"No, thank you."
"And this one?" He then turned the offered gum towards Zi Yuan.
The latter glanced at Bai Cheng, and only after receiving permission did she accept: "Thank you!"
Then Ye Liangchen tore open the packaging for himself, gave a piece to his employee beside him, and continued.
"We'll bet on who reaches the Advancement Platform first. If I'm first, we'll be friends; if you're first, I'll give you a small gift, and there's no need for us to be enemies, what do you say?"
"Of course, regardless of who wins or loses between us, we'll both obtain this advancement slot."
Bai Cheng hadn't expected the opponent to say that.
The youth before her, though seemingly kind and simple, actually had a very clear line of thinking.
Both of them had now activated their advancement missions, and reaching the Advancement Platform was a necessity, so neither party needed ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) to pay anything for this so-called bet.
Moreover, regardless of whether she won or lost the bet, for Bai Cheng, it was almost a win-win situation.
The opponent was also clever to emphasize becoming friends and didn't mention cooperation again.
Bai Cheng could guess the reason: perhaps as the earliest Survivors to activate advancement missions, coupled with their War General-level strength, they simply didn't want to create a powerful enemy after comprehensive consideration.
Bai Cheng's interest was also piqued; she twirled a loose strand of white hair on her shoulder and smiled, "Alright."
Ye Liangchen returned a smile, then took his employee and left the cave first.
Watching the opponent's disappearing figure, Bai Cheng's gaze had actually remained on the opponent's employee.
She turned to Zi Yuan: "The aura I sensed should be correct, right?"
Zi Yuan also nodded, her eyes deep: "Miss, Zi Yuan is very certain that the aura emanating from this guy's employee is completely identical to Huang Yu's."
"A Demonic Human race employee's assistance can boost his strength so much?"
Bai Cheng was greatly surprised by this, but she could also confirm that the auxiliary abilities among different Demonic Human race varied greatly.
At least Huang Yu didn't have the ability to directly transform into armor to increase combat power.
"Also, Zi Yuan, with your strength, you couldn't even defeat him?" Bai Cheng thought of the opponent's arrogance earlier.
Zi Yuan immediately explained: "Miss, he definitely can't defeat Zi Yuan, but with that armor for protection, Zi Yuan wants to kill him... it's difficult."
And if they were just sparring rather than fighting to the death, it seemed they could indeed be evenly matched.
Bai Cheng's gaze sharpened; it seemed she needed to re-evaluate Huang Yu's auxiliary abilities as a Demonic Human race.
"I didn't expect that the Survivors who could become channel leaders and enter the Deadly Rainforest would all be freaks."
Ye Liangchen was the first Survivor Bai Cheng had encountered in this public area, and his strength had completely exceeded her expectations.
"It seems I can't underestimate enemies anymore."
Bai Cheng also became serious.
"Zi Yuan, let's go. We need to complete the advancement mission quickly."
"This miss is quite curious about his gift!"
Meanwhile, outside the cave, Ye Liangchen was equally surprised by the strength Bai Cheng displayed.
"The Survivors in the public area are all monsters; they're completely not on the same level as the opponents in our own channel."
As he spoke, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.
"Excellent, only an area like this is worth challenging!"
Soon, two trains, from different locations in the Rainforest, quickly sped towards the next trophy collection point...
