Hearing Aoki's words, Soros' face turned ashen. He hadn't expected such a situation. Looking at the dark crows circling above Aoki's head and the pink dazed beast following closely behind him, he understood everything.
He had underestimated Aoki. While everyone else was fighting for their first elf, Aoki had already subdued a second one, and it was so powerful.
Silently comparing the strength of the current battlefield, Soros realised that his side was actually at a disadvantage.
He glared at Aoki. If looks could kill, Takeshi Aoki would have died many times over. Finally, he gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, "We've lost this time. Let's go!"
Saying so, he pulled the dazed person away, intending to retreat.
Aoki laughed disdainfully, "Don't you think it's a little too late to leave now? Dark Crows, raise the wind. "
Hearing this, the dark crows understood and flapped their wings. A whirlwind appeared behind them, blocking their path of retreat.
"Aoki, don't go overboard! At most, we'll fight to the death! "
Soros' expression twisted, his eyes spitting fire. When had he ever been so petty? Even when Gaga spoke to him, he hadn't been so disdainful.
"Hmph, fight to the death? Even if the fish dies, the net won't break. Want to try? "
Saying so, he took a step forward, and the dazed beast followed suit. Others wanted to take his life, and now he wanted to leave without leaving anything behind. This wasn't Aoki's style.
"Caw!" The dark crows cried out. If it wasn't for Aoki stopping them, the crows would have already attacked those who wanted to deal with them.
Soros' expression froze. He glanced at Skye, who hadn't spoken yet, from the corner of his eye, indicating for him to speak.
Seeing Soros' actions, Aoki's gaze landed on this ordinary-looking youth. He glanced at the Abba Serpent beside him, and the A.I. Chip displayed Abba's stats.
Elf: Abba Serpent (Orange)

He looked at Skye in surprise. He didn't expect him to be able to raise this Abel Hydra to level 19. If it weren't for his talent, he would probably be their leader now.
Since Soros was the leader of the group, yet he still needed to ask for his opinion, it meant that this person's strength and methods were decent.
Qing Mu's heart trembled slightly as he had an idea.
"What's your name?" Aoki looked at Sky and asked casually.
Being asked his name in such a situation, Skye was stunned. After a moment of hesitation, he answered, "Skye."
Now that they were at a disadvantage, it was best not to try to provoke Aoki's anger. Moreover, by using words to stall for time, he could think of a way to escape.
As for fighting Aoki? Don't joke around. Don't you see the corpse on the ground?
They had thought that Aoki only had a powerful Dark Crow. Even so, they had only decided to attack after careful consideration.
However, Aoki clearly had a powerful Dazed Beast, while they only had three people left. One of them hadn't even recovered from the shock yet.
There was no comparison in terms of strength! Skye wouldn't do something as suicidal as provoking Aoki like Soros.
However, even after considering all the possibilities, Skye still couldn't think of a way to escape. He felt a little dejected.
He had put in so much effort to bring Soros up. With his strength and status, he had obtained a lot of resources to raise his Abel Hydra to its current level.
Success was due to the same person, failure was also due to the same person. This was probably the situation now.
However, Aoki's next sentence made everyone's jaws drop.
"You're not bad. Are you interested in working for me?"
Aoki's casual words caused the expressions of the people in front of him to change again and again.
The eyes of the follower, who was originally ashen-faced, suddenly burst with the hope of survival. Aoki had recruited Skye. This meant that there was still hope for him.
No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he had been used by Soros. Facing the powerful Aoki, he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resisting.
The one who changed the most was Soros. His face turned from red to green, from green to black, and then from black to white.
He never thought that Aoki would take the initiative to recruit Skye. He had been prepared to fight to the death with Skye against Aoki. There might still be a chance for them to escape. However, Soros's words made him fall into the abyss.
On the other hand, Skye's expression changed the least. He only stared at Aoki, trying to figure out what he was thinking. Was he really trying to recruit them, or was he trying to distract them with his words so that he could defeat them one by one?
However, after a while, he didn't see anything from Aoki's face.
Aoki didn't say anything. He just looked at Skye quietly, waiting for his answer.
In fact, Aoki hadn't recruited Skye on a whim.
As someone who had experience in the Rocket Team in his previous life, he had always understood that in an organization like the Rocket Team where factions gathered together, one person would never be able to go far. There were only two choices. One was to join a faction, and the other was to become a faction. Although the former was much easier than the latter, Aoki still decisively chose the latter.
If he wanted more resources, he would have to make his own decisions.
Although he might not become a faction immediately, it didn't stop him from laying down the groundwork and making plans for the future.
The best time to lay down his chess pieces was now, when everyone was still a trial participant.
In his previous life, after Gaga entered the Rocket Team, his meteoric rise was also because he had built his own team on the trial island, paving the way for future development.
Therefore, Aoki had always planned to build his own team. Even if he didn't need it in the future, it was better to be prepared.
Skye had been chosen by Aoki because of his good luck. Of course, another reason was that Skye's strength wasn't bad. Aoki thought that if he was given a good sprite, he might perform well.
Without making Aoki wait for too long, Skye gritted his teeth and nodded. "Okay!"
Under these circumstances, could he still say no? If he said no, the outcome would be death!
Aoki was very satisfied with Skye's answer. Although it was because of the threat, Skye was able to recognize the current situation. Aoki once again thought highly of him.
If he really had a good sprite, his strength definitely wouldn't be any worse than Soros'.
PS: In the future, I'll try to follow this rhythm. Three chapters a day. I hope everyone will support me.
