Chapter 139: Just obey orders?

"Siko, is that something wrong?" Amber faltered.

"Kipo is dead!" Siko said in an indifferent voice.

Amber remains silent for a second before comforting Kipo.

"Why did that buried man have intelligence? He actually had memories of the past." Amber frowned as he shook his head.

"This place is strange! We can't even possibly defeat that monster with five peak foundation Realm experts. How can we possibly clear this legacy tomb?" Siko worriedly said

Siko's heart pounded slightly as he continued, "Nevermind, let's forget about these treasures and concentrate our mind in searching for the inheritance ground."

Everyone was silent. Just as Siko said, their top priority must be to first find inheritance ground. In that place, they would surely obtain some treasure as it is the most important place in any legacy tomb.

However, how can the lust of the Mystic treasure completely fall from their mind?

"Siko, Since we are already here, how can we go back empty-handed? With so many people, how can we not seize the opportunity to obtain some mystic treasures?" A girl's voice rang out, causing many to look at her. She is one of the Peak Foundation Realm experts in their group. Some of the people even nodded their heads, " Tiri is right. Since we are already here, how can we return empty-handed?"

Siko glanced at Tiri before nodding his head. "Okay, let's wait here for the others first. I'm sure there are others that still haven't arrived yet. None of us must do what Yong did earlier. If someone does so, even if he doesn't die in the hands of the buried monster, I shall personally kill him for sure." 

Siko fiercely glared at all of them. 

While all of them were listening to Siko's words, Amber notices a black hair boy looking above as if he is thinking something.

The boy was comparatively taller than him. There is some black blue dot symbol on his back neck. Besides, the injuries in his body were far lesser than anyone as he didn't even participate in any fight.

"Hey boy, why are you spacing out?" Amber arrogantly said.

Kritos glanced at the source of the sound, and immediately replied," Huh!"

"You are a new face here. Which sect are you from?" Amber adjusted his clothes and dominatingly asked.

All the cultivators looked at Kritos and frowned in dissatisfaction as there were bare injuries in his body. 

It seems Kritos hardly participated in any fight and concealed himself.

"This kid really knows how to hide himself in the group."

"Tsk! He was just afraid of being killed by that monster. Coward!"

Kritos ignored their words and calmly replied in a neutral tone, "Loose cultivator."

"Loose cultivator! It is surprising to see you reach this level even though you are only at Rank 3 Foundation Realm," Amber proudly stated.

On the other hand, Siko was just staring at Kritos, he has a feeling that this boy is not normal. The conic violet pupil of his is giving Siko a dangerous feeling.

'Mixed blood?' Siko thought to himself. 

"Boy, where were you previously looking at?" 

Siko has earlier seen Kritos continuously looking above.

"Nothing." Kritos solemnly retorted.

"Mhm? Amber frowned. He glared at Kritos and growled, "Cut the crap, tell me what are you looking at above?"

As the sound of Amber's words faded, a cold light flickered in Kritos's eyes. There was no need to doubt that the status of this Siko must be extraordinary in his Sect. Although it looks like Siko is the leader.

"I said 'Nothing'," Kritos indifferently spoke.

"I saw you were looking above! Just obey orders if you want to leave alive from here," Amber yelled.

"Just obey orders?" Kritos coldly laughed. Earlier when Amber ordered that boy to pick up the floating treasure, he already knew that Amber would definitely treat all of them as cannon fodder, placing them in the most dangerous situations to get the benefits for himself. Kritos wasn't such a selfless person that he would sacrifice himself for Amber.

"Hehe." A light laughter rang out, it was none other than the woman earlier, one of the peak Foundation experts. How could she forget to throw stones at someone who is down? She added in a glacial tone, "How arrogant, it looks War God sect is nothing in his eyes? Hehe… Amber, this boy is really self-centered and ignorant."

This woman was very clear on who Amber was, she naturally wouldn't miss the chance to cause the conflict.

Amber fiercely glanced at Kritos, his expression filled with disdain.

Elsewhere Siko was consistently looking above the island, he saw a hole on the barrier that is protecting this floating island.

The hole is too small as if it is created for only one person.

'Only one person could proceed to the next round. But how can we fly? Only Mystic Realm or Chakra soul Realm experts could do this deed.' 

As Siko was thinking about the solution, Siko saw abnormal energy emanating from Kritos body.

Kass!!!

All of a sudden, black smoke materialized in front of their vision.

'He did this on purpose!' Siko thought to himself.

Siko has a feeling that Kritos have some means to reach towards the hole.

Soon after the black smoke faded, everyone noticed Kritos approaching a strange floating treasure.

The treasure was somewhat unique as it is in the shape of feathers.

Upon looking at that treasure, Siko understands Kritos's goal.

"Quickly Catch him!" Siko ordered everyone. 

He also immediately dash towards Kritos. 

"Swish, swish~!" Several figures flickered as they darted towards the Kritos.

"Kid put away your hands or don't blame me for killing you," Amber ordered Kritos.

Nonetheless, Kritos doesn't have time to listen to his words. He instantly touched the wing-shaped feather floating treasure and immediately activated it.

A raging wind kicked up, as though the golden roc was flapping its wings and floating up to the sky.

The wings of the golden roc flapped on Kritos back as it rushed straight out.

Attack him! Don't let him reach towards the barrier," Siko bellowed.

"Thousand Massacre Sword Art!"

As the sound of his voice faded, his sword qi bombarded the area ahead as millions of rays of light shot out, augmented by the power of the formation. 

Kritos was forced back as he coughed out two mouthfuls of blood. He flies his way back up, as his countenance flickered, his heart shaking violently as he thought back to the monster who was going to soon come before him.

"Quick!"

While all of them were focusing their attacks on flying Kritos, abruptly the ground broke apart and a figure emerged from it.

Upon looking at his precious treasure in the stranger's hands, the yellow-haired figure howled as a beam of yellowish-brown light erupted forth from him. His body flared and actually transformed into the strike of light, completely vanishing from this spot.

Terrifying formless energy forced everyone to retreat. Several people coughed out blood from the after-impact as their countenances turned as pale as paper.

With the use of sudden force, the yellow-haired man instantly appeared just behind the Kritos who was still now far away from the hole.

Kritos has already taken much damage from the attacks of Siko and any attack from the yellow-haired man would be disastrous. It could take his life in seconds.
