Chapter 229: Chapter 197 Infernal Affairs

"David, stop asking, I know what you want to do, but whether it’s demons, priests, churches, cities, or that man we just saw, none of them are entities that you and I can afford to provoke. And you should know, not one of them is a good thing!"

David actually agreed with this.

He didn’t know about the others, but he had already witnessed Jiang Xiao’s "evil."

It could be said that he truly lived up to being a mere mortal who had become a demon’s daddy!

He was even more demonic than the demons themselves!

Of course, if one’s nature wasn’t wicked enough or their strength was mediocre, how could they dare to play so flamboyantly?

David had also traveled around many small towns nearby and had been to a few cities.

The richest and most powerful lords there only dared to buy some maids to cosplay as demons for some role-playing.

Who, like Jiang Xiao, would dare to directly capture a living, real demon to play with?!

Especially since this demon was different from any he had encountered before.

The demons he had met seemed to be out of their minds, where had he seen one as cute as this pink demon?

This was also why Martha felt confident to sell Mu Xitang for a high price.

The old lady leaned by the window, looking out at the distant starry sky.

Things in life were so unpredictable; she had tried her best and could only shrink in this godforsaken little town.

As for the big cities outside, ha ha ha~

"It really isn’t anything good!" Xia Ya spoke righteously.

"That’s right, Park Renmeng, don’t take it too seriously. There’s an old saying in Dragon Country, ’Do not rejoice in things, nor sorrow in yourself,’ I hope you can understand this principle," Jack used an old adage.

"Darn! It’s indeed trash, not even worth giving to dogs!" Lasi Bu Zhan said, succinctly and to the point.

But his unstoppable action of cramming the fragments into his chest was all seen by Park Renmeng.

Indeed.

This bridge-crossing reward was not a one-time thing; every squad that passed could get it once.

Being the fourth to cross the bridge, Park Renmeng naturally ended up empty-handed.

And in order not to make Park Renmeng jealous, the three who received the fragment reward not only didn’t let him touch it, but they didn’t even tell him what its effects were.

This filled Park Renmeng’s heart with jealousy.

Alright, alright...

You three had your fun, and now you’re leaving me to busy myself for nothing?

Xia Ya was the captain and was the first to cross the bridge without knowing whether the chains were safe; so Park Renmeng could accept her taking a fragment.

The same went for Lasi Bu Zhan, right and wrong aside, at least he provided them with fresh and sweet milk.

But you, Jack?

What the hell gives you the right to be the second one to cross the bridge?

From beginning to end, apart from betraying your teammates twice, what else have you done, for God’s sake?!

Just you wait.

See if next time I will still try my best to heal you!

The already disunited team grew more fractured after crossing the bridge once.

You can’t say Xia Ya’s team wasn’t united.

It was just that compared to Jiang Xiao’s team.

After Xia Ya and her team crossed the chain bridge, this round of Kaidan saw its first peak of death.

More than twenty chosen ones died at the hands of their own teammates.

Yes, they were killed by their teammates.

Some were dissatisfied with the order in which their team crossed the bridge.

Like the last one shaking the third one, who was already on the chain, down into the abyss.

Some were unhappy with their team captain’s domineering and assertive ways.

So the three of them conspired to rebel, shaking their team captain, who was crossing the chain bridge, down into the abyss.

Others played at being moles and betrayed each other.

Turning around and telling the ’big brother’ about the others’ plan to gang up and take him down.

Little did they know the other two had the same idea...

Even though there were only four people in a squad, quite a few managed to create seven separate circles...

And the casualties were even greater after the bridge crossing.

Seeing that the top three places came with rewards, it was natural for the one with nothing in fourth place to be unhappy with this outcome.

There wasn’t enough to go around, so it could only...

Even if the opportunity for outside reminders was worn out, it was useless.

They just wouldn’t listen!

You say no in-fighting and we should just stop fighting?

Why should I be the one to suffer?

Snatching treasures for real is more substantial than anything else!

As for getting punished after getting out, that’s even more of a joke.

If you could get out, you’d be a national hero of Dragon Country! How could you possibly be punished?

If you couldn’t get out...

Not getting out meant dying in Kaidan, and there was even less of a chance of the outside world constraining them—as dead as they’d be, why the hell would they indulge your damn quirks?

The main reason this happened was that the level of the team’s captain wasn’t up to par.

Jiang Xiao’s level needed no mention.

Just his name alone was enough to suppress the ulterior motives of the few other teammates.

Although Xiaoya wasn’t as formidable as Jiang Xiao.

At least her talent far surpassed that of Jack, who was the second strongest in the team, and coupled with the fact that she was the younger sister of Naizi who had previously cleared two and a half stages, her teammates were quite convinced by her with the double boost of her talent and blood relation.

But other teams simply couldn’t compare.

Four people in total, and none of them acknowledged the others as better.

Even if a captain was chosen, it was merely like picking a general from the short ones, not much better than the other three.

After crossing the iron chain bridge, even teams without any fatal accidents grew increasing resentments against each other.

The ultimate outcome was either to erupt in silence or perish in silence.

By now, the outside was in an uproar!

"Damn it, so many died just crossing a bridge? They hadn’t even gone into the town yet!"

"Now I finally understand why the rules say the more people in a team, the higher the difficulty. In the end, it’s all because of disunity..."

"Hey! If they had died at the hands of the bizarre, I wouldn’t have said a word, but look! All but the two who got trampled by a bull died at their teammates’ hands!"

"Reminders are useless..."

"Damn these rules, they just exploit people’s envy!"

"The sky’s not the highest, it’s the human heart that’s the most unattainable..."

But there was no choice, that was the rule,

Under these circumstances, whoever ended up as the empty-handed fourth place would have complaints in their hearts.

And of course, those chosen for the fragments would not possibly hand over the precious gains to the weakest fourth...

So conflict was inevitable.

Ugh, tough situation.

...

"Huh? Captain Xiaoya, there’s someone on the bridge!" Jack’s words interrupted Park Renmeng’s envious fantasy.

The four halted their steps and scrutinized the figure carefully.

And the person on the bridge was no other.

It was the Fishing Man, whose belongings had been completely pilfered by Jiang Xiao.

Right now, he was boiling inside with resentment!

His food taken, his drink taken, even the damn firestarter and bait used for lighting and warmth—he’d lost it all!

The most, most, most important thing was that after waiting for so long, he hadn’t even caught a single baht!

In order not to return empty-handed, he had just caught a frog, but in an unguarded moment, it had slipped away.

Damn!

He was just down on his luck to the extreme, seething inside.

The four members of Xiaoya’s team exchanged glances—who would be ballsy enough to probe the situation?

Jack’s gaze landed on Xiaoya and Xi Tang, who were not up to par.

One was the captain and the other the weakest.

Was this just a rerun of another "choose one of two"...

Just as he was about to suggest Xiaoya scout ahead, Park Renmeng spoke up in a sinister tone.

"I think under these circumstances, it’s about time for Jack Oppa to exert some effort; after all, if the body doesn’t move, it might get rusty, right? A person can’t always sit back and reap the benefits, can they, Jack Oppa? Isn’t that right, ssi?"
