From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 380 - 269 Abyssal Competition Mode_3

Lu Heng and Su Muyu exchanged a look, both revealing expressions of speechlessness.

Alpha personality types are especially confident, acting as though they understand everything, but whether they can be good leaders remains an unknown.

Lu Heng immediately stood up and walked outside, uninterested in forming an alliance with this person.

Naturally, Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu also stood up and followed him outside without uttering a word.

Black Field watched as three people with black hair left, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He looked at three other people with black hair and black eyes and asked, "How about you? Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance."

These three Superpower Users clearly were a team as well; they exchanged glances and stood up to leave together.

Black Field became even more annoyed.

This social event had been very unsuccessful for him.

He wanted to be a leader, but these six black-haired individuals did not give him face.

If it were in the White Eagle Federation, he would definitely have led people to teach these disrespectful folks a lesson.

However, this was the Abyss Battlefield, and those recruited here were certainly Superpower Users of the same tier.

Starting internal conflicts over such a trivial matter was indeed going a bit too far.

He watched as the several individuals walked away, his lips curling into a cold smirk. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

...

Outside the tree house, Lu Heng and his two companions walked slowly along the giant tree forest, observing the environment of this world.

The trees in this forest were very large, some of them with trunks as thick as ten meters in diameter, their tops not visible from below.

That tree house just now wasn’t made from branches but rather carved directly into the trunk of a tree.

"I’ve never seen such large trees before," Su Muyu said curiously, giving one tree trunk a pat.

However, Lu Heng noticed some pitch-black color on these giant trunks, indicating that they had already been contaminated by the Abyss.

But it seemed that the contamination wasn’t particularly severe.

There was also that self-proclaimed Forester Seren, whose identity was very mysterious.

He had mentioned before that the Knowledge Ancient Tree prophesied that a Human guided by the Moon God would come to oppose the Abyss.

Whether this prophecy was true or not was hard to say, but there might indeed exist a Knowledge Ancient Tree in this forest.

Just as the two were observing the forest, the three Superpower Users with black hair and black eyes caught up from behind.

The leader greeted them, "Hello, it’s nice to meet you. My name is Rong Xincheng, and these two are my companions."

Lu Heng turned around and, curious, asked, "You aren’t forming an alliance with that man?"

Rong Xincheng shook his head, saying, "Blindly forming an alliance with someone whose specifics we don’t know might not be a good idea. Moreover, we’ve encountered too many white individuals vying for the leadership position, but they may not necessarily have the ability."

In the Abyss Battlefield, whenever multi-national Superpower Users appeared, it was generally the white individuals who rushed to claim the leadership position in an alliance.

This had already become a common rule.

Obviously, Rong Xincheng had encountered this situation before, and his expression suggested that he might have been tricked.

Lu Heng looked him over and asked, "Then what is your purpose in coming to me?"

Rong Xincheng candidly replied, "To form an alliance."

Lu Heng raised an eyebrow, curiously asking, "Black Field wanted to form an alliance, you didn’t go with him, so why come to me?"

Rong Xincheng didn’t hold back, laughing and answering, "Because I recognized your identity."

"Oh?" murmured Lu Heng, slightly surprised.

"Right, I’ve seen you at Quenching Castle, so I know who you are. So, aligning with you definitely won’t be a loss. You can be assured, we are willing to follow your lead, you call the shots, just don’t trick us," Rong Xincheng straightforwardly showed his intent to follow.

Lu Heng was even more intrigued.

To be honest, Lu Heng appreciated Superpower Users who knew how to hitch their wagon to a stronger force.

Because latching onto someone powerful itself was a skill.

To latch on successfully, one must first recognize which legs truly hold power.

Black Field had initiated an alliance earlier, flaunting his possession of this world’s data, a temptation that was indeed very great.

Having data about the Abyss Battlefield meant one had a head start.

But Rong Xincheng chose not to pick Black Field and instead actively approached Lu Heng to propose an alliance — that was skillful.

Rejecting Black Field, who possessed the world data, and choosing someone who had not spoken a word from beginning to end, this decision required ability, one would not make a casual decision.

Curiously, Lu Heng asked, "Black Field has the data for this world, right? If you teamed up with him and he was willing to share the data with you, do you know how much that would help you complete the mission?"

Rong Xincheng smiled and replied, "If his data were that useful, why didn’t you form an alliance with him? You did not say a word and walked away, which shows that you don’t need his data.

"You can be assured, since I have said I will follow your orders, I will definitely do so. Moreover, we are all Da Xia people, I believe you will treat us well."

Hearing him out, Lu Heng had to admit that he had succeeded.

"Alright, then let’s form an alliance. Come with us and let’s discuss the next steps."

"Sure, however you say we should do it," Rong Xincheng nodded immediately, his smile very sincere.

Lu Heng led the group to another tree house, where they sat down to discuss the current Abyss Battlefield.

"First off, congratulations on picking the right alliance partner. Because we also have this world’s data.

"Regarding the data, we’ll talk about that later. Let’s first analyze the Main Quest and Challenge Task."

"Okay, you speak, we’re listening."

"The first Main Quest requires us to establish diplomatic ties with the Elf Clan, the direction is very clear, forming an alliance with the Elf Clan.

"The second Main Quest is a bit problematic, avoiding pursuers whose motives are unclear.

"This task is a bit strange. In the Main Quests I’ve encountered before, if there was a pursuer, they would specify which power was behind it, but this time there isn’t any."

Rong Xincheng pondered and proposed an idea, "Is it possible, that the power pursuing us, its allegiance is also uncertain?"

Lu Heng nodded, agreeing, "That possibility exists, but I thought of another thing. That’s the third Challenge Task, which requires us to investigate the crisis faced by the Elf Royal City of Keros.

"The emphasis is on investigation, implying that this crisis is unknown and requires us to solve this mystery.

"So, could this unknown power be related to the third Challenge Task?"

Pausing, Lu Heng continued, "Besides that, there’s one more critical piece of information, which is about the Abyssal Competition Mode, this mode is extremely dangerous. Note, I’ll repeat, this mode is extremely dangerous."
