Marvin looked at Milo as favonovel.com prepared to leave with Miriam and the others. He could not understand what they were talking about. What did setting up camp here have anything to do with waiting for death?
“What do you mean?” Marvin asked.
“Wasn’t the ambush at this place devised by the Pyro Company?” Milo asked.
“Of course it was. Who else could it be other than them?” Marvin said.
“And what is the Pyro Company after?” Milo asked.
What the Pyro Company wanted was the DNA samples of supernatural beings!
That was why the Pyro Company members immediately went to collect the DNA samples after the tarantulas attacked the group. But this time, all of the teams had suffered heavy casualties. If they were to set up camp again on the spot, they would probably be attacked immediately by the Pyro Company. This was not speculation but a certainty.
It wasn’t like the rest of the people were stupid either. Something clicked in their minds the moment Milo said that.
No matter what injuries they had sustained, they still got up from the ground.
Miriam watched this unfold quietly. Back in the Marador Mountains, if the private troops had listened to Milo’s suggestions more, they would not have been completely wiped out.
No, wait!
They were not completely wiped out. Raphael had still managed to survive.
As they were about to leave, Bruce led his subordinates to do something in the forest nearby. However, no one had a clear look at what they were up to.
Curious, Marvin asked, “I saw you all holding some grenades just now. What are you all trying to do?”
Bruce smiled and said, “We’re leaving a surprise for the Pyro Company, of course.”
The route Milo chose to leave by had slightly deviated from the original plan. They did not head directly towards the interior of the Pyro Company’s Sacred Mountains in order to avoid encountering the Pyro Company’s combat troops.
Before they could get far, those who had doubted Milo earlier heard an explosion come from the direction of the canyon. Bruce’s grenade trap must have been triggered by the Pyro Company’s members.
At this moment, everyone felt a sense of relief. They were fortunate to have left beforehand. Otherwise, the team would have lost even more members.
Marvin found a spot downwind and sat down.
One of the wounded suddenly said, “Many of you here are superhumans. Actually, even if we encounter the frontline troops of the Pyro Company, I doubt you all have anything to be afraid of. It’s just that none of you are willing to do anything about it. We haven’t even entered the interior of the Sacred Mountains yet…”
“I’ve calculated that it will take at least another two to three days before we can get there. It wouldn’t be a good thing for all of you if we lose too many people now, right?”
Another wounded person was placed on the ground by his teammates. The wounded person was panting heavily and looked like favonovel.com was on the verge of dying.
“They’re the ones who were injured today, but we might be the ones to get injured tomorrow. In a place like this where we can’t even call for backup, the consequence of getting injured is death,” a middle-aged man said.
“Why are you saying such depressing things now?” Daniel curled his lips. “We’re all here for our own interests, so don’t make it sound like we’re martyrs.”
But no matter what Daniel said, it would not change this fact. Even though they were all from different forces, everyone came here with the same purpose. The deaths of the others would also somehow cause them to feel depressed.
Suddenly, Milo heard the voice from the palace say in his mind.
Quest! Show the wounded there is hope.
Milo frowned. The definition of this quest was way too vague.
How was favonovel.com supposed to show them there was hope?
He looked at the wounded personnel, then at Daniel before suddenly taking out a small vial of black medicine and pointing at the wound on Daniel’s leg. “This is a secret ancestral remedy. Daniel was also shot just now, but his wound has already started healing. In another eight hours, favonovel.com will be able to move freely again like a normal person. The wound will fully recover in two days.”
When everyone heard this, they immediately turned to look at Daniel. Indeed, the gunshot wound on Fatty Eastwood’s leg had already stopped bleeding
Earlier, some people noticed Milo had secretly applied the medicine for Daniel. However, they did not expect the medicine to be so miraculous.
Everyone’s eyes lit up. Immediately after, they saw Milo put the black medicine back into his pocket.
Marvin wondered, “Didn’t you take the medicine out for everyone to use? Why did you put it away again?”
“Oh?” Milo replied, “I just wanted to show it to you all…”
Marvin was confused. So, were the wounded.
Based on Milo’s understanding, the palace had only issued a quest for favonovel.com to show his teammates hope. Since they had seen it, favonovel.com felt it should be enough.
The voice from the palace said.
Quest complete. Awarded Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll!
Hearing this, Milo was stunned for a moment.
He wondered that if the palace’s reward criteria had a correlation to the quest’s completion level, then did it mean the palace thought favonovel.com had done a good job this time?
For a moment, Milo could not figure out what the palace was really trying to get favonovel.com to do.
But no matter what, the reward was still a Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll. He had not received such a good item in a long time!
Daniel’s power that allowed favonovel.com to summon his dead friends had been on Milo’s mind for too long now. He really had very high hopes for this power.
In the current times, the lives of humans were as worthless as weeds. One minute, you could be chatting with your friends, and the next, danger and disaster might befall everyone.
Perhaps those friends might lose their freedoms after they became the golden figures that protected the user, but this was the only power Milo had come across so far that could “extend” life. Moreover, Daniel’s dead comrades clearly still retained consciousness.
As Daniel’s mental strength was limited, favonovel.com could not keep those golden figures outside for long. But it was different for Milo. He could!
It could be assumed that Daniel had only awakened such a power because favonovel.com sincerely cherished the lives of those soldiers.
Superpowers were an extension of a person’s willpower.
But just as Milo was about to use this Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll on Daniel, favonovel.com hesitated again.
That was because Milo knew that Daniel was someone who always pretended to be weak, so favonovel.com must have many other master-level and above skills on him. What if favonovel.com could not pick that specific superpower to copy?
Would life be that smooth-sailing?
Could favonovel.com always get what favonovel.com wanted?
In the past, favonovel.com might have managed to duplicate the right skills because of Donti’s luck enhancement on him. But now that favonovel.com did not have the luck enhancement anymore, Milo had to be more cautious.
Milo looked at Daniel and wondered if favonovel.com should first incapacitate all of Daniel’s other master-level skills before using the scroll on him?
But how should favonovel.com incapacitate him?
Break his hands and legs?
Daniel realized that Milo was sizing favonovel.com up, but favonovel.com was a little spooked by it. He got an ominous feeling.
But at this moment, the voice from the palace said.
You may choose to learn a specific skill using three Perfect Skill Duplication Scrolls.
Milo’s eyes lit up. Although it was a little wasteful to use three scrolls to learn a specific skill, it would definitely be worth it when said skill was especially important!
