The look in the eyes of Pele's teammates behind him changed. More than 20,000 gold coins were indeed enough for them to live on for the rest of their lives.
"What are you trying to do! You believe what he says?"
Sensing a hint of malice, Pele turned to his teammates and shouted angrily.
"Pele, if you ask me, let's just take the money and call it quits."
The one speaking was an archer in the group, who was leaning against a large tree, completely ignoring Bailey.
Their team was never very harmonious to begin with, and morale had long since crumbled.
Bailey's six-man team split into three groups at this point.
Bailey stood with a swordsman named Blue, while Lilia and another swordsman took a step back.
The archer and another person were subtly confronting Bailey, as they hadn't really approved of the kidnapping in the first place.
If this gets out, their adventurer status will be completely ruined, and they might even be hunted down by the Adventurers' Guild.
Once you're on the Adventurers' Guild's wanted list, the outcome is simple: death!
"Pele, I have no interest in wasting time."
The archer pulled the three people on the ground up and shouted to Hao Yun.
"Leave the money, and you can take the people with you."
Hao Yun threw out a gold coin, and under Ye Zi's protection, the three of them walked up to each other. With the time machine in hand, the three of them began to retreat.
"Farewell!"
With a bow, Hao Yun decided not to linger and carried the unconscious Liuwa and Xiaojingang into the forest.
Once out of sight of the other party, Hao Yun began to accelerate.
"Run!"
"Are we just going to leave like this?"
The time machine swallowed a healing pill, its expression one of extreme rage.
"Do you still want to fight them? There are six of them. Don't be fooled by the current conflict. If we make a move, they will definitely unite against us."
Hao Yun saw things very clearly, which is why he was in a hurry to leave.
"Damn it! I never expected there to be such a scoundrel among adventurers!"
The time machine was seething with hatred, but there was nothing it could do.
"Let's go back to the city first, and we can talk about other things later."
Hao Yun is now a little worried that the other party might catch up with them.
In fact, Hao Yunxin panicked when Pelé told them to leave their equipment behind.
Their equipment was all legendary, each piece costing tens of thousands of gold coins. The combined equipment of the three of them was enough to make the opponent fight to the death.
If a fight breaks out, the three people in the time machine will definitely be the first to suffer.
Chapter 216 Battle
"idiot!"
When Hao Yun and the others left, Pele angrily cursed.
The archer snorted and divided the gold coins on the ground into six portions.
"One serving per person, everyone take your money and let's call it a day, goodbye."
The archer and the man with the shield picked up the money bag and left together.
After the two left, Lilia stepped forward, picked up a money bag, and said to Bailey.
"Boss, I'm leaving too."
The six-person team was reduced to only three in an instant.
Pele glanced at the other two and said with a sneer.
"A chance to make a fortune was right in front of them, but they didn't seize it. Let's go, let's catch up and wipe out all the employers."
"Boss, this isn't a good idea. We only have three people left now."
"So what if there are three of them? There are only three of them who are capable of fighting. Do you know how valuable their equipment is?"
Pele's words instantly drew their attention.
"The equipment they're wearing is at least divine artifact level. Since we're breaking up, this amount of gold coins won't be enough for our future living expenses."
More than 20,000 gold coins, divided among six people, means each person only gets a little over 4,000 gold coins.
"Really?!"
Faced with his companions' exclamations, Pele calmly nodded.
"If you want a share of the money, then follow along."
After saying that, Bailey started chasing Hao Yun in the direction he had left, and the other two quickly followed.
In a dark corner of the forest, Lilia revealed herself.
"That old bastard is indeed cunning. Luckily, I came back to take a look."
Lilia returned because she was worried that Bailey would turn on her, lead a group to chase and kill her, and steal her share of the money.
I never expected that when I came back to eavesdrop, I would get such news.
Lilia's eyes lit up, and she decided to follow them to see what would happen. If the two sides started fighting and both were badly injured, wouldn't that be a good thing for her?
"We're almost out of the forest. The carriage is outside. Let's speed up."
Hao Yun carried two people on his back, yet his speed remained undiminished.
They breathed a sigh of relief as they rushed out of the forest. As long as they got into the carriage, they could escape even if the enemy gave chase.
"Get in the car quickly!"
Hao Yun threw the man onto the carriage and turned to sabotage another carriage.
"Haha, we meet again! Where are you all headed?"
Bailey and his two companions slowly emerged from the forest, exuding a murderous aura.
"We'll make our move soon. Ye Zi, protect the Time Machine and the others. Sun Wukong, you go and deal with one of them. I'll take care of the leader."
To put it simply, Hao Yun drew his twin swords. At this point, there was nothing more to say; whoever lost would die.
"The momentum is quite impressive."
Bailey commented on Hao Yun's appearance while drawing his heavy sword and beckoning to Hao Yun.
As a seasoned adventurer, Bailey does have some real skills.
The two engaged in close combat, exchanging several attacks before Hao Yun withdrew and retreated.
With his two swords combined, Hao Yun rubbed his numb hands, thinking to himself, "My opponent is quite strong."
Come on!
Pele nodded, a hint of smugness on his face.
Hao Yong glanced to the other side and saw Sun Wukong entangled with a swordsman, gaining a slight advantage.
As for Ye Zi, he relentlessly pursued the other person, with Time Chicken providing support from the side, making it a close contest.
“I told you, you can leave once you take off your gear, why do you have to force me to do it myself?”
Bailey slung the heavy sword over his shoulder and slowly walked toward Hao Yun.
Ignoring the other party's words, Hao Yun took a deep breath and used his probe to check the other party's health.
"charge!"
Hao Yun shouted and activated his skill with both hands holding his sword.
Using the speed of his charge, Hao Yun quickly approached Bailey, but Bailey reacted even faster, dodging Hao Yun's charge with a sidestep.
Turning around to parry Hao Yun's short sword, Bailey delivered a heavy slash.
Hao Yun did not retreat, but instead pressed forward, splitting his short sword into two blades and stabbing them at Bailey's body.
"ha!"
Bailey interrupted the attack, letting out a roar and unleashing his Rage Burst.
Bang!
Hao Yun flew out sideways like a ball.
As Hao Yunfei went out, Bailey raised his heavy sword and launched a charge.
Rushing towards Hao Yun, Pele swept his arm horizontally, preparing to cut Hao Yun in half at the waist.
With a bent-over roll, Hao Yun dodged the sweeping attack and slashed Bailey's calf with a backhand stroke.
He rolled to his feet and slashed at Pele's right arm from bottom to top with his short knife.
The sharp blade sliced through the armor and severed Pelé's right arm.
"Blood Explosion!"
With a blank expression, Hao Yun let out a low shout, and blood-red mist enveloped Bailey. Boom!
Pele, who had just let out a scream, collapsed and died instantly.
The Blood Explosion skill is very difficult to deal with high-level monsters, but it is an absolute godsend against humans.
With nearly 1,300 points of true damage, almost no one can withstand it.
Pele collapsed and died. The other two panicked and turned to run away.
Seeing that the other party was trying to escape, the time machine was not about to let them go. It fired wind blades at the two of them without regard for the consumption of mana.
"I was forced into this, please let me go, I'm willing to return the money!"
