"Hmph!"

Waldo snorted coldly in his heart, then regained his composure, feeling a slight chill.

This woman is not ordinary.

Indeed, those who can become trial participants are not simple individuals.

At this moment, everyone gradually opened their eyes, sizing each other up.

In their eyes, there was a cautious look.

The rough and gruff orc man said, "Hello, I’m the 17th trial participant, you can call me Tristan!"

"I’m Ulva."

"Herb!"

The three of them introduced themselves briefly.

Then, they all turned their gaze to Waldo.

Among them, Waldo was the only one who hadn’t introduced himself.

Waldo nodded slightly and said, "I’m Waldo, the 7th trial participant!"

The four of them had a brief exchange and got to know some information about each other.

During the conversation, Waldo learned that the other three came from different trial worlds.

Before coming to the Eternal Kingdom, they were the strongest in their respective worlds.

In their worlds, there was only one trial participant, just like Waldo.

So, the four of them present were the strongest survivors from their respective worlds.

This news made Waldo’s expression slightly more serious.

Clearly, the strength of these three individuals could not be underestimated.

Even he had to be extremely cautious in dealing with them.

After all, each of them was the only trial participant from their respective worlds, and their strength was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Each of them was no simple individual.

Similarly, the other three, after learning each other’s identities, also restrained their arrogance.

"Do you know what brought us here, and what’s going on?" asked the enchanting Ulva.

Her mesmerizing eyes swept over everyone, revealing a hint of innocence and confusion.

This might be related to her abilities.

With just a glance or a smile, she could easily influence others’ minds.

According to Ulva, she was not human but a member of a race similar to humans, the Shadow Tribe.

The people of the Shadow Tribe were all female, each one breathtakingly beautiful, with a natural, irresistible charm for males.

Especially Ulva, as the only trial participant of the Shadow Tribe, her bewitching abilities were truly terrifying.

Even without using any abilities, just casual conversation could captivate anyone.

Fortunately, everyone present was resolute trial participants who could maintain their composure and not be swayed.

This should be the Eternal Kingdom, but as soon as we arrived here, we entered the Land of Darkness for an assessment.

The energy here is very peculiar, and I believe all of you have already felt it. The presence of this energy is rapidly draining our strength. It won’t be long before we starve to death!

Tristan’s expression turned serious, and his crimson eyes darted around as he spoke in a low voice, "We need to find food or treasure chests as quickly as possible to survive.

However, it seems dangerous in the dark of night, and we’ve just arrived and are not very familiar with this world. Therefore, we can’t easily risk leaving the safe house. Let’s explore the rooms first and see if we can make any discoveries."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room nodded. Although the system had provided a lot of information, they still had limited knowledge about the Land of Darkness and the assessment.

Therefore, they had to take things slowly, especially considering the countless dangers in the darkness. They had to be extremely cautious, even Waldo agreed.

Subsequently, everyone began to inspect the room. It was a small room with a bed, a desk, a chair, and various miscellaneous items. It looked like an ordinary room, and the previous occupant seemed like an ordinary person.

According to the information from the system, this was the so-called safe house. Once they left this room, they would no longer be safe and would constantly face various dangers.

"If I’m not mistaken, where we are should be an ordinary residential house. There’s no food here, and to find food or supply chests, we must leave the safe house and venture outside," said the young man named Herb.

The environment they were in was highly unusual, with special forces invading their bodies constantly, causing extreme exhaustion. They couldn’t continue like this for long. "Do we really have to go outside?"

According to the system, it should be very dangerous outside, and we don’t understand the situation well yet. If we rush out, we have no idea what we might encounter.

A hint of hesitation appeared on Ulva’s face. "In my opinion, we shouldn’t dawdle; we should just go outside! What is there to fear? We are all trial participants, the strongest in various trial worlds, with good strength. Why worry?"

Tristan, with a fiery temper, said, "Danger? Have we encountered fewer dangers on our journey here? His voice was rugged, almost like a thunderous roar echoing in his chest. As he spoke, he exuded a violent aura, as if he were facing an incredibly powerful primordial beast.

With Tristan’s statement, Herb, Ulva, and the others began to show signs of hesitation. Do we really have to go outside?

Everyone was hesitant. Tristan turned to Waldo, who had remained silent throughout. However, Tristan’s keen intuition told him that the quiet young man before him was dangerous, giving him a shiver down his spine, as if he were facing a formidable adversary.

So, at this moment, Tristan looked at Waldo and asked, "Brother Waldo, what do you think?"

"We should go outside to investigate the situation. We can’t stay in the safe house. If we encounter any danger outside, we can always return. With our strength, we can handle almost any danger easily," Waldo said after a brief thought, slowly nodding.

Seeing the others make a decision, Ulva and Herb decided to join them as well. "Let’s agree in advance that we explore together. When we find resources and food, we’ll distribute them fairly based on our efforts. Does anyone have any objections?"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

In the darkness, the room had almost no light. Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth, illuminating the dark room.

"Impressive, my friend, you actually control the power of fire. This is great. In the darkness, having light might deter some dangerous creatures from approaching us. Since you’re the only source of light, how about you lead the way and light our path? When we distribute the food later, you’ll get a bit more, okay?"

The group began to discuss enthusiastically.

Waldo smiled slightly and shot Herb a mischievous glance, then nodded and turned towards the door.

In the depths of his eyes, where the others couldn’t see, a dangerous gleam flashed.
