The man who was holding the woman turned his head back, his eyes filled with despair. His forehead was hit by Joy's palm and exploded, turning into blood-red ice shards.
At the same time, the woman was also frozen into an ice cube, falling to the ground and rolling a few times.
Joy deftly took off the two's Space Rings and quickly searched their bodies, finding some miscellaneous items and keeping them in his arms. Only then did he get up and look at Garon who was running towards him.
"You're a little late." He chuckled.
Garon rushed to the two corpses, his expression ugly. He was slightly injured while chasing after the two, he did not expect Joy to take advantage of him. It was also because he was too poor as an Energy Machinist and did not investigate the Energy Machinery nearby, otherwise, how could the other party take advantage of him.
"You're good!" Garon stared coldly at Joy. He knew that he was in urgent need of resources, yet he still snatched them. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He had always been a lawless person. To him, rules were just things set by the strong. Whether he followed them or not depended on whether he could fight against the strong.
"What? You want to fight? "Joy noticed the ruthlessness in Garon's eyes and sneered. When it came to killing, he had never been afraid of anyone. "You're not good enough and you want to blame me?"
Garon snorted and turned to leave. As for the reason why he was closer to Joy before, it was only because Yi Ling was more infuriating compared to him. In reality, the two of them were just a union of interests. He would remember this and settle it when he had the chance in the future.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from behind him, it was Yi Ling's signal.
Garon's eyes flashed coldly. He was not going to act with the two of them anymore. He was not as experienced as the two of them. If this continued, he might be tricked again. It was better to do it alone.
He did it as soon as he thought of it. He took out a small item from his body and crushed it. It was the communication device and locator that Yi Ling gave them.
After a few leaps, Garon directly jumped into the sea of trees and disappeared.
Joy was left to squat down and search for the last of the resources beside the two corpses.
After Garon left, a joyful expression appeared on his face.
"Tsk tsk, it's been a long time since I've found such a rich guy. With these resources, I can definitely break through to the tenth floor, Level 5 Chixue Kung!"
As for Garon, to him and Yi Ling, if it weren't for the fact that he was a newcomer and had decent strength, they wouldn't have sought him out to work together. Now that he had obtained such a fat sheep, he was prepared to cooperate for a little longer. He didn't expect that the final battle would begin so soon. Garon, this brat, was actually lucky enough to encounter two fat sheep who were seriously injured. If he didn't snatch them now, even he himself wouldn't be able to stand it.
"He left?" He raised his head and looked in the direction that Garon left. "How stupid and inexperienced. He actually dares to act alone in a place like this. He doesn't know what's good for him. And that woman, Yi Ling, if she can hold back the Berserk Beasts, we'll be in big trouble. This time, all the powerhouses of the Dragon Eye Sect are here. We have Master San Yue, so there shouldn't be any big trouble. When the Spirit Mothership arrives, we'll definitely be able to get a place to enter. If you leave now, let's see how you're going to enter! "
Even if Garon left, the team that he registered with could still enjoy the newcomer's benefits. So it didn't matter if he was there or not.
*****
The Dragon Eye Sect and Chixue Sect had a final battle in the public area. The top twenty Berserk Beasts of the Dragon Eye Sect escaped with serious injuries. Nora was forced to retreat by San Yue. The rest of the low-level Energy Machinists suffered heavy casualties. The Dragon Eye Sect's strength was greatly damaged in this battle. At least they were at their lowest point in the ranking competition that happened once in a while.
The news spread throughout the surrounding area. In a deep cave in the sea of trees.
A few young men in black were squatting by a bonfire and whispering. A tall young man stood at the entrance of the cave with his hands behind his back. He looked at the big yellow birds that flew by outside silently.
These people all had a silver owl symbol on their sleeves.
"Nora of the Dragon Eye Sect sent a letter and wants to join forces with us. Senior Brother Wade, what should we do?" A woman in black walked out from the depths of the cave and asked the young man at the entrance of the cave directly.
"Nora? He's ranked third in the Dragon Eye Sect. San Yue is also ranked third in the Chixue Sect. After so many years, he's still being suppressed. This time, the people from Scarlet Snow seem to be very strong. " The young man turned his head. His cheeks were inlaid with two diamond-shaped silver metals, one on each side of his face. He looked a little strange and cold.
"The fight between Scarlet Snow and Dragon Eye has been going on for thousands of years. Our Nine Owl Sect doesn't need to get involved. We just need to stay neutral. The quota for the Spirit Mothership is important. Nothing else is important. "
"Senior Brother Wade is right. The people from these two sects don't have enough brains to break out at this time. It's a waste of the Spirit Mothership's quota." A strong man chuckled.
"Although Nora's strength is weak, his IQ isn't low. This isn't stupidity. I'm afraid that the Dragon Eye Sect found some secret treasure and the people from Chixue Sect knew about it. That's why the two sides fought." The woman in black shook her head and said softly, "Although the Dragon Eye Sect isn't as united as our Nine Owl Sect, they're much better than Scarlet Snow. Among the three major sects in the Northern Yu Province, Scarlet Snow is the most insane. Even within the sect, the competition is bloody. They're number one in terms of cruelty. "
"Then what should we do? The Dragon Eye Sect has suffered heavy losses. Other than the top group of people, the rest of the newcomers are either dead or injured. Should we … "A thin man chuckled.
"There's no need. Let them fight. My goal this time is to enter the mothership and comprehend the Spirit Card. As long as I succeed, I'll go back and cultivate in seclusion for fifteen years. There's definitely a chance to break through the resonance stage. Let's ignore these meaningless fights for now." Wade said lightly.
"Yes, Senior Brother." The crowd responded.

Garon moved quickly in the jungle. It had been more than five days since the battle between the Chixue Sect and the Dragon Eye Sect. He kept wandering around the area, trying to find the Energy Machinists who were alone to hunt. Unfortunately, except for a four-person Energy Machinist team, the rest were all medium-sized teams with more than ten people. There was at least one Level Four and Level Three Energy Machinist. Plus, there were many who had experimental physical fitness machines. This was a powerful force.
Garon thought that he had to use all his strength to deal with the Level Four Energy Machinist. If there were a few more, even if they were low-level Energy Machinists, he might not be able to defeat them. So he did not make a move.
The people of the Dragon Eye Sect seemed to be on high alert because of the previous attack. There was no way to sneak up on them.
Garon's concealment ability was not considered strong. Although it was extremely strong for a normal person, it was normal for an Energy Machinist. They had too many methods that Garon had never seen before to investigate.
After a few failed sneak attacks and almost getting attacked, Garon gave up on the idea of hunting alone. Instead, he found a place to hide and wait for the right time.
He scattered miniature listening devices around him in a radius of a few thousand meters. After covering them with his Willpower, they were not easy to be discovered by electronic devices.
However, as waves of Energy Machinists passed by, most of his listening devices were discovered and destroyed. Only a few escaped because the Energy Machinists were careless and did not use scanning devices.
Garon squatted on top of a big tree branch and quietly adjusted the frequency of his earphones, converting the signals of the listening devices.
Soon the sound of a small, valuable group passing by attracted his attention, and the sound of conversation.
"… Where did they go?"
"The direction where the Mothership landed. He asked us to hide as much as possible and not act rashly."
"With Senior Sister, as long as we follow Sir Nora, there should be no problem. It's just that this time, I wonder how many resources Sir Nora can protect? "
"The three sects are working together. Don't think too much. It's good enough if we can keep half of it. The Spirit Mothership has always been ruthless. If it wasn't for the agreement with the elders of the three major sects, it would be lucky to come out alive, let alone protect the resources. "
"Are these foreign races really that arrogant?" Another young voice sounded.
"It can't be helped. They are a mobile resource merchant alliance. We local sects can't afford to offend them. We can only accept their requests. Otherwise, we won't even be able to enter," the previous voice said helplessly.
Hearing this, the team gradually left.
"Spirit Mothership?" Garon frowned. He had heard of this organization before. It was a huge battleship owned by a small race that did not belong to the human race. It was famous for inviting disciples of various sects to enter and test their potential in exchange for resources.
They had always been kind to others. They had always supported and nurtured the real top geniuses. They had a long history, so many big shots of the top forces of the human race had received their favor and were ordered to protect their safety.
The people of this race were very good at business. They had sharp eyes and the connections they gathered were also very scary. Their origins were also very mysterious.
Garon did not expect the Spirit Mothership to descend at this time. It was no wonder that the three major sects of the Northern Yu Province would choose this time to hold the qualifying competition. It turned out that there was a reason for this. Presumably, the talents that were valued and ranked by the Spirit Mothership would be an absolutely fair and reasonable ranking. Sending out disciples to borrow the Spirit Mothership's method to select talents that were not discovered in their own sects was probably the best plan of the three major sects.
Garon instantly figured everything out. However, he did not receive any information about this. The Spirit Mothership's descent was short and fast. Those who were qualified to receive information immediately would definitely not be lower than Level Four Energy Machinists. However, Bänstad and Selina who helped him to collect information did not have this qualification. Naturally, they would not have access to it.
However, Yi Ling and Joy definitely knew about it. However, they did not tell him at all. It was obvious that they did not plan to cooperate with him at all. These two people's strength and trump cards were very strong. In addition, the Chixue Sect itself was cruel and merciless. The sect was like the Blackboard Region back then. For the sake of competition, all kinds of methods would be used.
Garon could understand. It would be strange if the two of them told him everything. He reckoned that if he did not have the qualifications to be a newcomer, the two of them would not have brought him along. After all, compared to the two of them, Garon's strength was still a little weak.
At least, Garon himself felt that if he were to go against Joy, his chances of winning were probably less than thirty percent.
This time, he could not find a suitable target in the wild at all.
"Looks like I can only go and take a look at the Spirit Mothership." Garon's heart skipped a beat. That place was a territory where one could exchange one's qualifications for resources. It was said that more than half of the resources obtained would be divided by the local inspectors. However, even after the division, the remaining portion would be enough for everyone to break through. This place was fair to any Energy Machinist. As long as one had enough qualifications, ability, and potential, they would be able to obtain the investment of the Spirit Mothership.
If Garon wanted to quickly stabilize his realm and even obtain the resources to break through Level Five, this might be his only opportunity.
