Emerson had just become a genetic warrior not too long ago, and he did not have any good equipment in his hands.

He did not even have a single gold coin.

Naturally, the resources on the other genetic warriors were extremely enticing.

“Would you be willing to sell out your captain in order to survive?” Emerson asked.

Emerson looked at Chris with a playful smile. “I suspect that what you’re saying is just to confuse me.”

“He’s not a good person. I don’t really approve of his actions. Is this good enough?” Chris explained.

Emerson shook his head as he said, “In Iron City, everyone lives for themselves. There’s no longer a distinction between good and bad people. The strong preys on the weak. You meet me, the stronger one, and choose to betray your weak captain, right?”

Chris was somewhat angry. “What exactly do you want?!”

Upon seeing this, Emerson smiled.

Emerson changed his tone and asked, “Tell me, what does he have that I am interested in?”

Chris could only answer truthfully, “He’s the captain of our squad and is in charge of all the wealth. There’s a soul eater stone that contains the creature soul of a tier 6 mutated creature.”

Tier 6 creature soul!

Emerson’s eyes lit up. That was something that the poor genetic warriors would never see in their entire lives.

However, Emerson was also somewhat puzzled. “Why would your captain have such a precious thing?”

“I am not sure about that. I heard that my captain has a very special identity. He’s a nobleman.” Chris shook his head.

Emerson pursed his lips in disdain. Some people were really going back to their old ways. It was already the year 2557 of the Blue Planet calendar, yet they were still playing the same old noble game. They gave people different grades and levels.

“Is there anything else?” Emerson asked again.

“Yes.”

Chris answered hurriedly, “The captain also has an identity token from the auction house. This is something that most genetic warriors can’t get their hands on.”

“Everything can be sold or auctioned anonymously through this token.”

“With that, you don’t have to worry about being targeted by others when you sell things in Iron City.”

That was a wonderful item.

It just so happened that Emerson was unable to deal with the valuable things on the Red-scaled Fire Python, especially the soul pills. The pills contained all the elemental energy of the Red-scaled Fire Python. To fire elemental genetic warriors, it was extremely valuable.

After listening to Chris’ summary, Emerson was determined to obtain the token.

At that moment, a miserable howl came from the depths of the dark forest. It was George’s voice.

It seemed that his elemental energy could not hold on any longer, and the mutated creatures had gotten close to him.

An elemental genetic warrior could only die if he could not find a way out.

Chris sighed slightly. “I’ve already told you everything I know. Can you let me off now?”

Emerson chuckled. “Aren’t you going to help me take care of your captain?”

As he spoke, he threw the stinger to Chris.

“When he’s not paying attention, stab this thing into his body.”

Chris looked at the stinger and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he said, “Then can you guarantee that both of them will die?”

“Of course. How can I leave one of the nobles alive so that he can have a chance to take revenge on me in the future?”

Emerson smiled coldly. “Put the stinger close to your body. Go now.”

Chris did not say anything else. He hid the stinger in his robe behind him and staggered out of the dark forest.

He was very clear that Emerson’s words were a response to him on the surface, but in fact, it was a warning to him.

The so-called nobles were not worth mentioning in Emerson’s eyes. They could be killed if he wanted to kill them.

Moreover, the stinger on Chris’ body was also a time bomb that could kill him at any time.



When the captain saw his men coming out again, half an hour had already passed.

Chris ran out of the dark forest awkwardly. He held his chest as blood kept oozing out of his mouth. He looked very miserable.

Alan quickly went up and helped Chris.

The captain frowned. “How did it end up like this? Where’s George?”

“He’s still inside,” Chris lied and explained, “When we went in there, he tried to use the fire element to detect the whereabouts of the hunter, but it attracted mutated creatures.”

“This idiot!”

The captain could not help but be speechless and angry. “Where’s the hunter?”?

“I’m not sure. I haven’t seen him. He might have run away.”

“F*ck!”

The captain cursed and then looked at Chris. “We’re going to save George. Can you still walk?”

Chris let go of his hand and looked at the injury on his chest. He shook his head and explained, “My injury is a little serious. I’m lucky to be able to walk out.”

The captain seemed to have noticed something and asked casually, “You injured your back?”

“Yes.” Chris nodded. “My back got hit, and my lungs are hurt. This whole area hurts.”

“Rest here.”

The team leader patted his shoulder with a smile on his face.

In an instant, Chris made a move. He pulled out the stinger from his back and stabbed at the captain’s lower abdomen.

However, he never expected that he would actually miss!

The stinger only scratched the captain’s clothes, causing a series of sparks.

Obviously, the captain was wearing an armor.

At the same time, an intense pain came from Chris’ shoulder, extending to his heart!

“Captain… What are you…” Alan, who was at the side, was stunned.

The captain sneered. “There are no creatures stronger than him in the outermost region of the dark forest. Are you trying to lie to me?”

“Tell me! where is the hunter?”

Puff!

The sound of a long knife cutting into flesh was heard.

Emerson appeared behind the captain. No one could tell whether he was happy or angry from his cold face.

“I heard that you’re searching for me. I’m here now!”

His voice was deep, but at that moment, he was like messenger from hell.

The captain’s strength was drained in an instant. Before he could even turn his head to see who it was, he had already lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

A 1-hit KO!

Emerson had been waiting for this moment when the captain’s attention was completely on Chris.

The captain might not have thought that Emerson had such speed. At the same time, he also had such a powerful strength that could help him pierced through the armor.

Then, Emerson looked at Alan, who was completely stunned.

Alan met Emerson’s cold gaze. Only then did he react, and hurriedly ran for his life.

However, Emerson caught up with Alan in a few steps. He pierced through his heart with the long knife.

Thump!

With a muffled sound, another body fell to the ground.

When he looked back, Chris was also lying on the ground, unable to get up because of his serious injuries.
