Chapter 4680
Benjamin Morgan's tone was tentative, clearly indicating that he too had experienced the chaos and infighting caused by mental pollution.
Zhang Yi's expression remained calm as he gazed into the seemingly eternal darkness deeper within the forest. His tone was flat, revealing no emotion: "Them... I hope we can meet them again later."
He paused, then added meaningfully, "After all, everyone who comes to this forest has their own purpose, doesn't they?"
Benjamin's smile froze slightly, then he laughed heartily, "You're right, you're right! Everyone has their own ambitions!"
He subtly changed the subject, complaining about the eeriness of the forest and the scarcity of resources, and subtly suggested the possibility of limited cooperation, such as sharing some intelligence from the front lines.
Zhang Yi listened noncommittally, occasionally offering a word or two in response.
The brief chat, or rather, the mutual probing, lasted a few minutes, during which the two sides exchanged some non-essential information about the path ahead and potential dangers.
Finally, Zhang Yi stopped exchanging pleasantries with them, citing the need to get on the road as soon as possible. They set off together so they could help each other if they encountered any danger along the way.
Benjamin has many soldiers on his side, and they can be used as cannon fodder for scouting when necessary.
After all, the two hundred Lunarian warriors had already succumbed to the mental pollution and gone astray.
After the two sides reached an agreement, Zhang Yi led his large group to continue heading towards the central area.
As Benjamin followed Zhang Yi and his group deeper into the Black Crystal Cluster Forest, the smile on his face gradually faded. He rubbed the gold coin in his hand, his eyes shifting uncertainly.
"They all have their own purposes... Hmph, that's easy for you to say."
He muttered to himself, "To survive, and then leave with enough power and secrets—that's my goal. Chaos... Last time you obtained a vast treasure in the Eye of the Demon, this time I won't just hand over Samael's treasure!"
The human form of Ling that Zhang Yi obtained from the sealed land of Mammon is the envy of the whole world.
Seeing Zhang Yi's current formidable strength, anyone would make this connection.
He turned and clapped his hands at his remaining men: "Alright, gentlemen, break's over! Cheer up, wealth and power are just ahead, don't let our friends get there first!"
Beside him, Zhang Yi's eyes held only a playful and mocking glint.
For the time being, they will be in a cooperative relationship due to their shared goals.
However, if they encounter valuable resources, they will certainly create an immediate conflict, just as they did in the Eye of the Devil.
But so what? With Zhang Yi's current strength, there is truly no one in the human world that he can be afraid of.
The brief interlude has passed, and Zhang Yi's goal remains clear—to find the Night Witch, find the spark, and unravel more mysteries.
Perhaps there are even more precious resources waiting for them to explore on the moon and stars.
……
In a corner of the Dark Sun Forest, space was slightly distorted, and three disheveled figures stumbled out of a spatial rift that was about to dissipate.
It was Gao Changkong, Gu Man, and Batu.
Gao Changkong's signature white outfit was now covered in dark red bloodstains and black grime.
The combat uniform was damaged in many places, but it had an automatic repair function, so it looked as if it was covered with patches.
The three of them, Gao Changkong and Gao Changkong, were breathing erratically, and there was still a trace of blood left at the corner of their mouths.
The golden holy sword in his hand was somewhat dim, and several fine cracks had even appeared on its blade.
Gu Man was pale, her tight-fitting combat uniform had multiple burn marks and tears, and she was breathing rapidly.
Batu was in the worst condition; half of his armor was completely shattered, revealing a bloody and mangled wound underneath, and he was even unsteady on his feet when he walked.
As a spatial ability user, he opened a passage at a crucial moment, allowing two other people to escape.
