Chapter 438: A Coveted Treasure Stirs Hearts

Not too far from Waldo’s location, at most a hundred kilometers away, there is a bare mountain top. Halfway up this mountain, a safe house has been constructed.

At this moment, inside the safe house, a bald man is coldly monitoring a chat channel.

"This Waldo is really too arrogant. Even I wouldn’t dare to be this brazen. He should know that acting like this will attract the attention of all the survivors!"

The bald man’s face is covered with rough, intimidating scars, making him look very fierce.

Normally, anyone who saw such a person would probably be frightened and run away immediately.

Because it’s hard to believe that someone with such a fierce appearance could be a good person.

In fact, Perry is indeed not a good person. He has survived countless battles and emerged from a sea of blood and mountains of corpses. He never considered himself a good person.

Sometimes, he was a ruthless killer, devoid of any compassion.

He still remembers the time in the Trial Grounds when he killed a man, and his entire backing force, just because that person looked at him with hatred.

In the Trial Grounds, he was known as the Supreme Killer.

Later, when he arrived in the Dark Lands, he became more restrained, knowing well that the trialists there were very strong. Each one was a talented and powerful fighter, and they all had their own unique skills.

If they unleashed their full power, even as a second-level trialist, he would not be able to withstand it. Not to mention, in the Dark Lands, there were as many as ten second-level trialists!

However, what he didn’t expect was that there would be someone in this world more arrogant than himself.

"This Waldo, he really is not afraid of death! Now he’s famous, but I wonder how many people are watching him. Even as a second-level trialist, I doubt he’ll live for long," Perry thought, shaking his head slowly.

In his eyes, there was a flash of disdain.

Waldo was too arrogant and likely to die young. It would be difficult for him to make it to the end.

Perry was sure that Waldo would meet his demise before the end of the assessment task due to his own folly.

Throughout his journey, Perry had seen many powerful individuals who ultimately died due to their arrogance.

"Five super Source stones! How exciting!"

A glint of greed flashed in Perry’s eyes.

Immediately, he pondered for a moment and decided to go there in person. "Those five super Source stones, I’ll claim them for myself!" Perry thought secretly.

At this stage, everyone has only a few super Source stones in their possession. After all, the current source of super Source stones is the monsters around various safe houses. However, the monsters around the safe houses have been almost completely eradicated. The only way to hunt more monsters and obtain more super Source stones is to venture into the forbidden zones, namely the cities in the Dark Lands.

However, the strength and numbers of the monsters in the cities are formidable. They fear that before even entering the city, they would be torn apart by the monsters, leaving nothing behind, not even bones. Therefore, super Source stones are a scarce resource, and moreover, they are non-renewable.

Five super Source stones can upgrade someone from a first-level trialist to a second-level trialist. Ten super Source stones can elevate a second-level trialist to a third-level trialist. I already have two super Source stones. Once I snatch the five from Waldo, I just need three more to become the only third-level trialist in the Dark Lands, overpowering everyone else!

Thinking of this, Perry couldn’t help but feel excited.

Waldo? According to reliable information, Waldo should be a second-level trialist, powerful and ruthless, a real executioner. Everyone, remember to be careful later!

Elsewhere, a group of four gathered. These four were tall, with a horn on their foreheads, originating from the same trial ground. In other trial grounds, only one trialist would emerge. But in their trial ground, all four of them came to the Dark Lands to participate in this assessment.

The reason for this was mainly that they were all members of the Silver Horn tribe and quadruplets. Their appearances were strikingly similar. Standing together, it was difficult for others to distinguish their individual identities. They looked so alike that those unaware might think they were a single entity with clones.

However, this was not the case. The four brothers shared an extremely close blood relationship.

In the Trial Grounds, they supported each other and helped one another like true brothers. Throughout the long duration in the Trial Grounds, they jointly faced countless strong enemies, went through numerous dangers, were chased to desperate situations, and also led armies to conquer numerous foes. As a result, their strength became increasingly formidable.

Finally, one day, the system teleported all four of them to the Dark Lands. What excited them was that the four brothers were transported to a safe house. This meant that they could once again work together in the Dark Lands, battle against the formidable enemies, and suppress the powerful forces of all directions. They were named: Thunder Light, Thunder Sound, Thunder Electric, and Thunder Fire!

Their abilities were all related to thunder and lightning, making them natural nemeses to the monsters. Due to their remarkable strength, their names began to spread shortly after the chat channel was opened. It wouldn’t be long before many trialists would hear of the four brothers.

At this moment, the four were in the safe house, engaged in a heated discussion about Waldo. They were less than fifty kilometers away from Waldo’s current location. This distance was neither close nor too far. If they moved quickly, they could soon reach the area where Alfred was killed and find Waldo.

According to what Waldo said and how he behaved, this extremely arrogant, presumptuous, and conceited second-level trialist should still be in the same place, not having left yet.

"Our strength, although we are all first-level trialists, when the four brothers join forces, we can definitely match a second-level trialist. Moreover, there should be quite a few others wanting to deal with Waldo. With so many of us working together, we can surely make it impossible for Waldo to escape," Thunder Electric said, his eyes flashing with a fierce killing intent and a hint of greed.

"Five super Source stones are indeed tempting!" added Thunder Fire, nodding in agreement.

"With those five super Source stones, we should be able to get at least two or three of them. Coupled with the super Source stones we already have, that will be enough to first advance to the second level. At that time, our overall strength will reach a new level!!"

The four brothers, Thunder Light, Thunder Sound, Thunder Electric, and Thunder Fire, share a deep brotherly bond and are incredibly close to each other. Unlike Alfred’s team, which is always cautious, they are true brothers. They have an understanding about the use of the super Source stones.

First, the stones will be used by Thunder Light. Then, Thunder Sound will use them. After that, Thunder Electric will have his turn, and finally, Thunder Fire will use them. There is no disagreement among the brothers on this arrangement. They have always handled it this way over the years.

Currently, they already possess two super Source stones. Adding the ones from Waldo, they will definitely be able to upgrade Thunder Light to a second-level trialist. Their strength will ascend to a higher level!
