At present, the trio's faces were drenched in sweat and blood, looking extremely wretched. Fortunately, the people of the base were used to such situations. Hell's Gate's healing facilities were also very comprehensive, and their treatment of injuries was also very efficient.
Apart from the viciously tortured Mogensha who had to spend more time and money to heal, Sheyan and Reef only needed to take a shower and hastily bandage their wounds. After that, they felt extremely relaxed and refreshed. They then proceeded to the base's internal dining hall to order some food. Not even 10 minutes later, Brother Black arrived whistling as he joined them.
Today, the sun was high in the sky and the weather was scorching hot. Previously, Mogensha didn't have the twin tanks of Reef and Sheyan by his side, and was incomparably nervous and lacked a sense of security. In addition, he had expended all his effort in rushing back, causing him to be unbearably thirsty. Spotting an emerald green freshly squeezed beverage in front of Sheyan, Mogensha immediately gulped it down cleanly.
At present, the dining hall was already serving dishes to the trio. It was nothing more than steak sandwiches and borscht etc. As Sheyan wolfed down his food, he conveniently shared the RDA company's information with Reef and Mogensha. Anyway, examining it in detail now could be considered as sharpening the axe rather than cutting firewood.
The trio sat in the air-conditioned dining hall for a while. Soon, they noticed several discomfited and discomfited contestants fleeing back to Hell's Gate. Many of them were severely injured, and one of them was roasted like charcoal, with layers of frost condensing on his back. Fortunately, it was unknown whether his willpower was strong or his luck was good, but he persevered and survived till now.
As time elapsed, the surviving contestants successively returned. Finally, even Zi of the Illume-union returned with a gloomy expression, bringing along a group of people with ashen faces. Amongst them, Archeaphill's condition appeared to be the worst. He was actually carried back while his body was drenched in blood and unconscious. This was a tropical climate, yet Archeaphill's coughs were bursts of cold air. He appeared to be stuck in a state of near death.
"What's going on?" Sheyan curiously asked.
Mogensha pondered a little before replying.
"I heard that when one enters a state of near death multiple times within a short period of time, the effects of medicine will gradually deteriorate until it becomes ineffective. For Archeaphill to actually return in such a state, one can imagine the intensity of the battle ….. "
"Eh? Yuan Zhan hasn't returned yet, and we don't know if he was directly eliminated, or if he used an item to forcefully abandon all benefits and leave this world. Looks like those bastards have targeted us with underhanded methods, and are single-mindedly focused on dealing with summoners. Because summoners are able to communicate with flora and fauna, they are a huge aid in accomplishing missions on Pandora. Looks like their hidden mission has failed, and those bastards want to turn our mission into a complete mess! "
At this moment, Mogensha and Reef could feel a chill creeping up their backs.
Back then, Mogensha had won a 1v3 duel with those guys, and had used the reputation of others to establish his golden AK's prestige. Reef was also a mainstay in the group battle, and had roared out a decisive 'Shattering Cardiac Roar'.
The final defeat of that group of Growth-hunters could be said to be due to the two of them. At present, Prince Stalo had led his party to lay in ambush outside, naturally for the sake of revenge. If not for Sheyan calling them back in time, and foiling the enemy's ambush plan, forcing them to hastily ambush, their corpses would probably be being whipped right now.
Something worth mentioning was: those bastards' ambush not only resulted in casualties, but also caused those who had snatched several 1st class missions to be caught in a cocoon of their own. Missions received from the laboratory had a time limit, if one failed to complete it, the punishment would be extremely heavy …..
Basically, a mission failure was equivalent to announcing one's withdrawal from the competition! Furthermore, with Prince Stalo's party blocking the way outside, who dared to step out?
As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Those contestants who had snatched multiple 1st class missions could only cry in such a situation. On the contrary, those contestants who failed to snatch a 1st class mission were rejoicing in others' misfortune. Hence, even though there were people shouting and organizing, saying they would kill their way out and teach those bastards a lesson, there were only a few who responded. Some even scolded, "Why didn't you think of unity when snatching 1st class missions?" Under such a mentality, the contestants' internal divisions were extremely severe. Obviously, mobilizing everyone to kill their way out was a waste of effort.
Sheyan didn't care about them at present. Previously, when they killed 3 contestants, 2 of them had dropped blood keys. That archer regretfully didn't contribute anything to them. From this, he could basically confirm that the 'Ruby Card' was indeed a rare drop item. If not, Zeiss. Carl was also a Growth-hunter, yet he still dropped a blood key.
Even though there was a military mission to hand over a blood key, after a round of discussion, Sheyan still decided to activate Zeiss. Carl's blood key. After all, a Growth-hunter's blood key wasn't a small matter. Not only was his offensive prowess extremely valiant, his equipment was probably top notch.
That day when he consecutively defeated 7 contestants, that was true strength. Even the core member of the Illume-union, Demondream, was defeated under his hands. If not for the fact that he was using the guise of 'support' to plot against the unsuspecting Zeiss. Carl, as well as the fact that Zeiss. Carl's situation had been thoroughly investigated beforehand, killing him definitely wouldn't be as easy as it seemed on the surface!
But this time, the surprise brought by Zeiss. Carl's blood key was much lesser. Reef usually didn't involve himself in such matters, but for some reason today, he was suddenly very interested in this round's loot draw. After the 3 of them discussed, they felt it was more worthwhile to draw equipment. In the end, Reef didn't fail, but unexpectedly he pulled out an unexpected equipment.

Because this equipment was to be equipped in the long range weapon category, Mogensha was the first to pass on it. As for the ambitious Sheyan, he could only express his regret. Instead, Reef's long range weapon category was merely an agility + 1 light-blue grade pistol, which he almost never used. This item coincidentally filled in his regret of lacking offensive methods, and was thus kept by Reef.
Zeiss. Carl hadn't used this item in the previous battles. Because to him who pursued speed and destructive power, stopping to hurl a dart was a waste of time, and even more so, a waste of his life. What he pursued was to end the battle in the shortest possible time, and was only interested in the 4 points of basic attributes.
But to Reef, he would have to slowly grind his enemy down, exhausting his strength for a long time … … .furthermore, this dart could possibly inflict various negative effects, which Reef valued greatly. Hence, without a doubt, this item was allocated to Reef.
Following this, the trio naturally wouldn't leave the RDA base, but instead visited various major departments. Something worth mentioning was that the three strands of direhorse's nerves that they previously acquired were exceedingly valuable. Indeed, it was worthy of being labeled as a valuable item. They actually brought it to the research facility, and exchanged it for 250 reputation points.

Due to the abundance of luminous vegetation on planet Pandora, even at night, it was rare for one to encounter a situation where one couldn't even see one's five fingers. Instead, the lush vegetation of the forest sparkled with brilliance, creating a magnificent sight. It was like a neon city in the human world.
At present, the trio was strolling through this dense forest. Their ears were filled with fantastical cries of insects, and their eyes were filled with grotesque and variegated sights. Compared to the daytime, the visual impact was more than 10 times greater.
If the daytime of planet Pandora was 70-80% similar to earth's tropical rainforest, then the nighttime forest was an entirely different world. Sheyan suddenly halted his footsteps, squinting his eyes as he exclaimed.
"….. Stop!! Right right right, ahead should be the Striped Fern that the mission requires us to excavate. Reef, take note. The manual clearly states that this plant lives near water, and its roots are extremely developed. You have to be careful not to cut off too much, or it will affect the mission evaluation.
