The battle was intense. To be honest, the gnomes weren't that strong.
But they didn't have no advantages at all.
Their numbers were their biggest advantage.
Secondly, they weren't afraid of death and were savage by nature.
They were willing to pay any price, even if it was just to bite a spiritualist or stab an enemy with a stone spear.
There was another important point.
These Stone Tyrant Gnomes had very high magic resistance.
Low-level spells couldn't work on them at all.
The spiritualists here were all high-level.
They had a bunch of mid-level and advanced spells.
But using mid-level and advanced spells to kill the gnomes was impossible.
It was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
It was purely a waste of mana.
One or two would be fine, but the problem was that there were countless Tyrannical Stone Gnomes.
Even the high-level spiritualists couldn't maintain such a high mana output.
So, casualties started appearing.
Even Becky Lu Lisha couldn't guarantee her own safety.
Only Chen Zhao and Gaia watched the show.
Or rather, they were ostracized. They weren't attacked at all.
"Come and help." Becky Lu Lisha had no choice but to ask for help.
But her attitude wasn't so peaceful.
"Sorry, I think we've been kicked out of the team. Are you ordering us or asking us?" Chen Zhao smiled at Becky Lu Lisha.
"Do you think you can stay out of this?" Becky Lu Lisha yelled, gritting her teeth.
Chen Zhao shrugged with a smile. He took out a can of beer and handed it to Gaia. "Want one?"
Gaia took the can. "Snacks?"
"Ms. Becky, you should think about your own situation first. You don't have to worry about our safety."
Becky Lu Lisha was furious. Her pride wouldn't allow her to lower her head to Chen Zhao.
"Do your best and I'll pay you more!" Becky Lu Lisha said hatefully.
Money was often the best thing to stimulate a human's potential.
As expected, Becky Lu Lisha's words ignited everyone's fighting spirit.
The spiritualists didn't hold back anymore. They all used their best skills.
The situation, which was originally at a slight disadvantage, was instantly reversed.
After fighting for half an hour, everyone used up 70% to 80% of their mana.
They finally chased the gnomes away.
Fortunately, the gnomes weren't really unafraid of death.
Otherwise, they would really suffer.
However, Becky Lu Lisha obviously could not accept this result.
She stared furiously at Chen Zhao and Gaia.
"Capture them for me." Lu Lisha was furious at the moment.
Although they had just gone through a huge battle, her side still had the absolute advantage. They had the advantage in numbers.
Therefore, she was not worried about any accidents at all.
But an accident … really did happen.
A spiritualist in his seventies stood up.
"Sorry, I'm not your fighter," the spiritualist said. "I reject your request."
Chen Zhao remembered that this spiritualist was called Old Ankh.
But along the way, Chen Zhao didn't interact with this old Ankh at all.
The two of them were basically strangers.
But Chen Zhao did not expect Old Ankh to speak up for him now.
Chen Zhao looked at Old Ankh in surprise.
Old Ankh looked at Chen Zhao from afar and nodded slightly.
This old man knows me?
Becky Lu Lisha and most people didn't expect this.
There was actually someone here who was openly disagreeing with her.
"Who else disagrees with me?" Becky Lu Lisha could no longer contain her anger.
Everyone could even feel that Becky Lu Lisha was going to kick Old Ankh out of the team.
Normally, no one would choose to continue disagreeing with Becky Lu Lisha.
But two more people came out. One was Familati, and the other was also a passerby. They didn't talk to Chen Zhao at all.
However, they were together with Old Ankh.
"Miss Becky, I think you're really mistaken," Familati said calmly. "We accepted your employment, but that doesn't mean we're your fighters."
Becky Lu Lisha's face was green with anger. She really didn't expect so many people to disagree with her in the team.
Moreover, this kind of dissenting behavior had already threatened her authority in the team.
"Anyone else?" Becky Lu Lisha asked in a low voice.
The others didn't want to disagree with Becky Lu Lisha, but they didn't want to fight either.
Becky Lu Lisha was like an enraged lioness. She looked at Chen Zhao with fury in her eyes.
"Let's go." Becky Lu Lisha finally suppressed her anger. She chose to compromise and endure for now.
The others were surprised that the aggressive Becky Lu Lisha would choose to endure and retreat.
The three people who'd disagreed with Becky Lu Lisha walked up to Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao looked at Old Ankh and another spiritualist.
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Zhao said, "Old Ankh, you recognize me?"
The other spiritualist also looked at Old Ankh with a confused expression.
He'd made this choice because he was familiar with Old Ankh.
Just now, Old Ankh had secretly sent him a message, telling him to believe in his choice.
But why would Old Ankh make this choice?
Even he didn't know.
So, he also wanted an answer.
Old Ankh lowered his head and said, "I just came back from the Hundred Ku Islands a month ago. I'm also one of the participants in the World Supernatural Competition, although I didn't get a good ranking."
Chen Zhao realized that Old Ankh had probably seen him in the Hundred Ku Islands.
Familati was even more surprised. If Old Ankh could participate in the World Supernatural Competition, he should be one of the top ones.
So why did he choose to go against Becky Lu Lisha?
For justice? Stop joking. Old Ankh wasn't like that.
Familati knew Old Ankh.
Old Ankh was a greedy old man with no bottom line.
Why would someone like him stand up against Becky Lu Lisha in that situation?
Unless there were benefits, or he knew Chen Zhao and felt that working with Becky Lu Lisha against Chen Zhao wouldn't give him an advantage.
Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't make such a choice.
"I see." Chen Zhao nodded and didn't continue asking.
Old Ankh's companion and Familati were even more confused.
Was it because Chen Zhao was also a participant?
Moreover, he was one of those contestants who ranked very well.
So Old Ankh knew Chen Zhao and knew that he was strong?
That was possible.
"If you're kicked out of the team by that rich lady, you won't be able to get your reward. Don't you think it's a pity?"
Old Ankh chuckled. Get my reward?
Then I have to be alive to get it.
Others might not know, but he knew how terrifying Chen Zhao was.
It wasn't worth risking his life for that bit of reward.
