When the tomb robbers were blinded by the bare-chested man's flash bomb and screamed in pain, the bare-chested man and the flaming chicken had already disappeared from where they stood. Sato Kaede, a bystander, had also disappeared.
The duration of the flash grenade was very short. After a few seconds, the strong light that appeared in the scene disappeared. Some of the grave robbers, such as the experienced Arbus, realized that the shirtless man and the flaming chicken that were in front of them just a moment ago were no longer there.
"Damn it, who spoiled my plan? Could it be that this fella has companions? No, according to the intelligence, this fella is a loner with a bad temper. He has no companions, "Arbus said with a gloomy expression.
Although the bare-chested man was a little clever, Arbus was not an undeserved reputation. Although he could not see clearly with his eyes closed, he still ordered the hippopotamus to keep an eye on the bare-chested man and the flaming chicken.
His hippopotamus' characteristic was to blow sand. His ability to control sand was definitely unique. The sand within a 100-meter radius was his eyes and ears.
Hence, even if the hippopotamus could not open its eyes, it could still sense the movements of the bare-chested man and the flaming chicken through the sand. Then, it would chase after the bare-chested man with Arbus.
However, the hippopotamus told him that the bare-chested man and the flaming chicken did not move at all. Instead, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Arbus knew that someone had helped the bare-chested man out of his predicament. Moreover, there was no strong airflow just now. The bare-chested man and the flaming chicken did not escape in a hurry.
In other words, someone had used some mysterious method to help the bare-chested man and the flaming chicken escape.
Thinking about how he did not get the intelligence he had been looking for, and that he had made a strong enemy, Arbus hated the person who had helped the bare-chested man escape.
Speaking of which, he also had the ability to enter and exit the ruins freely. However, ever since he suffered a great loss in the ruins, he did not dare to act alone in the ruins.
In his opinion, since the bare-chested man could attract the pursuit of so many Mud Puppet Giants and Mud Puppet Soldiers, the bare-chested man must have gone deep into the ruins and obtained something good.
"Damn it, just a little more, and that thing would have been mine."
Arbus recalled his experience of escaping from the ruins in a sorry state two days ago. He immediately gritted his teeth and thought.
On the other side, Kaede Sato suddenly appeared on a deserted sandy land dozens of meters away from the shirtless man's original position with the shirtless man and flaming chicken.
A nearby Mountain Pangolin that had just drilled its way out of the sand was so frightened that it immediately drilled back into the sand. Then, it carefully poked its head out and looked curiously at the three creatures that had suddenly appeared.
However, just as he poked his head out, a yellow-furred rat suddenly descended from the sky and looked at him curiously.
For a moment, the two of them stared at each other. Then, both of them scared each other. The former went back into the hole, while the latter flew back into the sky.
"Kid, don't think that I will thank you just because you helped me. Without you, I would have been able to escape. What a busybody."
As a Heavenly King Stage Trainer, the bare-chested man was very arrogant. Although Kaede Sato was a superhuman and had helped him just now, he still did not give Kaede Sato any face. Instead, he said to Kaede Sato in a very displeased manner.
However, the bare-chested man was not an ungrateful person. He did not use his strength to bully Kaede Sato, only looking a little displeased.
Compared to the bare-chested man's ungrateful attitude, the flaming chicken's attitude was very good. He solemnly bowed to Kaede Sato to express his gratitude, and even took the initiative to apologize to Kaede Sato for his actions as a trainer.
The Flaming Chicken was very strong. At Level 78, it was a Fighter-class Elf, and its muscles bulged explosively. Some of its muscles even bulged with bulging veins. Unlike ordinary Flaming Chickens, the Flaming Chicken wasn't as emaciated. Moreover, the flames burning between its hands were dark-blue and extremely hot.
"Of course. Your Excellency is able to freely enter and exit the ruins that have yet to be unsealed. Your Excellency must be extremely powerful. You definitely have a way to escape."
"When I saw Your Excellency being obstructed by that scoundrel Arbus, I felt a sense of solidarity against a common enemy. I actually took action without Your Excellency's permission. I was indeed rash. Please forgive me."
"By the way, my name is Zheping. May I know Your Excellency's name?"
Kaede Sato was not bothered by the bare-chested man's bad attitude. He first smiled and waved his hand at the flaming chicken, who was apologizing to the bare-chested man humbly. Then, he said to the bare-chested man respectfully, "You have a good eye, kid.
As for my name, you can call me Adde. Here, this is for you. Consider it a thank you gift. "
The bare-chested man, Adde, was a little arrogant. At this moment, when he saw Kaede Sato taking the initiative to apologize and flatter him, he felt a little embarrassed. However, in front of Kaede Sato, he still maintained a straight face and spoke in a reluctant tone.
After saying that, he took out an ancient artifact from his Space Backpack and handed it to Kaede Sato.
It was a bronze artifact that looked like a key, but its size was more than ten times that of a normal key. Its surface had been severely oxidized, but it was still very well preserved.
Kaede Sato estimated that if he were to auction it, it would not be a problem to sell it for five to six million Alliance dollars.
He gave away a bronze artifact that was worth five to six million Alliance dollars in one go. It could be seen that the bare-chested man, Adde, had indeed gained a lot in the ruins. The exploration of ruins was indeed a profiteering industry.
"Thank you for your kindness, Adde. I just did it for a moment. I don't have any ulterior motives. You should take this treasure back."
Kaede Sato carefully took the bronze artifact. After carefully playing with it, he used his telekinesis to return it to Adde's hand. Then, he said telepathically, "Go, go, go.
I've never taken back what I've given away. If you don't want it, just throw it away. I don't want it. "
When Adde heard that Kaede Sato didn't want his item, his face immediately sank. He threw the bronze artifact that he had just gotten back onto the sand and said in disgust.
After that, he stopped talking to Kaede Sato and began to call the Flaming Chicken to leave. After the Flaming Chicken waved his hand politely to say goodbye, he quickly caught up with the bare-chested man who was moving forward with a sullen face.
"This man's temper is really weird. Although I didn't succeed in getting the inside information of the ruins from him, at least I got to know him. It can be considered as a good karma. Maybe I can get some help from him in the ruins in the future."
"But the biggest benefit is that I accidentally ruined Arbus's plot and made him an enemy of the same level. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I have to help him."
Sato Kaede looked at Adler's departing figure with a helpless expression. The corners of his mouth curled up as he thought happily.
"Pikachu ~"
After a short while, Pikachu finished playing with the Mountain-Piercing Mouse. He picked up the key-shaped bronze artifact on the sand and brought it to Kaede Sato.
