Marvin’s voice calling out to White Mask rang through the white fog. Everyone held their breaths as they wondered if White Mask would agree to travel with them. If there were such a supernatural being in the group, it would definitely be safer for everyone.
No one doubted the strength of White Mask. After all, while everyone was busy saving themselves in battle just now, favonovel.com went to the spiders’ nest to rescue more than a dozen of their teammates.
But how could Milo possibly let Old Durkin stay in the team to protect this group of people?
Old Durkin’s most important role right now was to be a scout. An undying scout that traveled alone in the wilderness could help Milo avoid a lot of danger.
As time ticked by, Marvin felt a little disappointed when White Mask did not show up even after a long time. “Although I don’t know who favonovel.com is protecting, since we’re all on the same team, I hope we can still look out for one another in the future.”
An assistant next to Marvin muttered, “When White Mask appeared just now, that young man who’s always jumping rope also went off somewhere. Could White Mask be here to protect him?”
“That’s impossible…” Marvin shook his head. “Why would such a person be protected by an expert like White Mask? However, we can’t underestimate this young man either. I think favonovel.com has a very close relationship with Daniel. When Daniel encountered danger, his first reaction was to stand behind him.”
“Then should we still persuade White Mask to join us?” the assistant asked.
“Forget it.” Marvin sighed and said, “It’s not like we can force someone like that to do our bidding.”
But even though Marvin had given up, it did not mean the others had as well.
A middle-aged man looked at everyone in the group and said, “I know White Mask must have something to do with one of you here. Why don’t we do it this way instead? I’ll offer five million perak for favonovel.com to join the group. I won’t ask favonovel.com to deliberately protect anyone either, but just travel together with us.”
This was an extremely strange request. Milo pondered it for a moment. The other party seemed to be spitefully offering five million yuan for White Mask to appear, but other than that, favonovel.com had no other conditions.
Wouldn’t this money be given away for nothing then?
Could the middle-aged man have an ulterior motive?
At the side, Bruce said with a smile, “Old boy, your offer is too petty. Would such an expert care for that five million perak? If White Mask really shows himself for this five million perak, I, Bruce Lennox, will walk doing a handstand for a day.”
Suddenly, the palace in Milo’s mind started speaking. His expression also became very weird after favonovel.com heard what it said.
Quest! Fulfill the wishes of your teammate.
Milo pondered it. The palace did not explicitly say which of the teammates’ wishes to satisfy.
Was it the middle-aged man’s wish to get Old Durkin to join the team, or was it Bruce’s wish to do a handstand?
However, this quest seemed very easy to complete.
In the white fog, everyone heard the sound of approaching footsteps. They turned their heads to look in that direction and saw the silhouette of a figure become clearer as it got closer.
Bruce was surprised.
Old Durkin walked up to the middle-aged man and stretched out his hand. The middle-aged man did not break his promise and took out a small box. “There’s a Stelaria Consortium bank card inside to access an anonymous account with exactly five million perak in it.”
Old Durkin nodded and looked towards Bruce calmly.
Bruce felt uncomfortable at that moment.
Why did favonovel.com get the feeling that the other party had suddenly appeared just so favonovel.com could make favonovel.com walk while doing a handstand?
Actually, if the palace had announced the quest was completed after the middle-aged man paid up, Milo would not have needed to make Bruce do a handstand. But as it stood, the quest was still not completed.
With everyone’s attention on him, Bruce gritted his teeth and sneered. “Fine, you’re targeting me, right?!”
After that, favonovel.com really got upside down and did a handstand. In fact, Bruce’s balance was not only good, but favonovel.com also seemed to be able to walk upside down very naturally.
Marvin looked at Old Durkin in bewilderment before looking at Milo, who was standing not too far from him. He found White Mask’s style felt quite familiar.
At some point, Marvin even felt a little scared. He was afraid the other party would suddenly start singing nursery rhymes together with Milo. However, everyone felt a little more at ease now that Old Durkin had joined the team. It was as though their group was boosted by someone really strong.
The main reason was that Old Durkin’s reputation had been soaring recently. There were still too few supernatural beings who could take a T5 combatant head-on and win.
Milo quietly sized up Bruce. He realized Bruce’s expression was unusually ferocious like favonovel.com was bearing a grudge. But favonovel.com did not care.
It was Old Durkin that made favonovel.com do a handstand, so what did it have anything to do with him?
The relationships between the various teammates in the group were becoming clearer. Daniel and Milo were in the same group, and Bruce had four other companions hidden within the group. One of them might even be a supernatural being.
The remaining people were roughly divided into six groups. The largest group was made up of nine people, while the smallest group had three.
When they did not encounter any danger, these people would act as though they did not know each other. But earlier, they had subconsciously banded together to fight the spiders. This was an instinctive reaction when facing danger.
The wounded in the cocoons had been rescued. Although they could not move yet, there were already people volunteering to take care of them.
In a place like this, who would be so kind as to take care of someone not related to them?
It would definitely have to be their friends who stepped forward to help.
While everyone was taking care of the wounded, Bruce quietly walked upside down into the white fog. Since the fog had not dispersed yet, no one would realize that someone had stepped away.
After leaving the group, Bruce somersaulted forward and landed firmly on his feet again. He sneered, “I will definitely get revenge for suffering such humiliation!”
As favonovel.com quietly made his way back, favonovel.com made two markings, a horizontal bar and a concentric circle, along the trail of hardtack crumbs favonovel.com had left.
The first marking meant the danger ahead had been temporarily resolved, while the second marking was favonovel.com requesting a replenishment of supplies.
Along the way, in order to leave a trail, favonovel.com had scattered most of the dry rations favonovel.com had brought with him. Bruce had calculated his provisions would last another day at most. But this was where the advantage of having support troops behind favonovel.com came in. He did not have to worry about his provisions like the others.
But come the following night, Bruce was sitting by the campfire and watching as the others ate their food while favonovel.com had run out of rations.
Milo even asked favonovel.com why favonovel.com was not eating anything, but Bruce just smiled and said favonovel.com was not hungry. He could not possibly tell him favonovel.com had used up his rations to leave a trail.
For the entire day, Milo and the others remained onsite as they waited for their teammates who had been paralyzed by the spider venom to recover.
During this period, Bruce ventured into the white fog alone on more than one occasion. He took out a small bamboo whistle that favonovel.com used to produce the sound of insects flapping their wings. However, favonovel.com still did not see the reinforcements favonovel.com had been waiting for.
Bruce felt that something had gone wrong somewhere, but favonovel.com did not know what exactly happened.
Could his comrades have retreated because they thought it was too dangerous?
No, they were still very trusted comrades of his, having traveled extensively together for all their missions. Otherwise, favonovel.com would not have entrusted his life to them either.
They must have been delayed by something. Who knew, they might just arrive by tomorrow!
