"Those wanting Waldo’s life are definitely not just us. Other trialists are likely to take action too. Let’s head to the destination first, but we shouldn’t make the first move. Let’s wait and see how things unfold!"

"Right, after all, Waldo is a second-level trialist with formidable strength. He won’t be easy to deal with."

After a discussion, Thunder Light nods and makes the final decision.

"Alright, to avoid any unnecessary complications, let’s set off immediately and reach our destination as soon as possible! The super Source stones, we four brothers, are determined to obtain them!"

"Okay!"

"Let’s go!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

In the Dark Lands, there is no distinction between night and day. There’s no sun here, and it’s always dark. But for the trialists, this isn’t a problem. They all have excellent vision, and the difference between darkness and daylight is not significant for them. Especially after a few days, they have become accustomed to the darkness and the harsh and complex environment of the Dark Lands.

Leaving the safe house, the four brothers of the Silver Horn tribe move swiftly and gracefully, like the most agile cheetahs, running wildly across the vast land. They move as fast as the wind, with a gust swirling around them.

Meanwhile, in Waldo’s villa safe house, Tristan is nervously observing the developments. Because of Waldo’s actions, Tristan doesn’t dare leave the safe house. Moreover, even if he went, he probably wouldn’t be of much help. Waldo has provoked too many people this time. Almost all trialists know about Waldo killing Alfred and others and that Waldo carries five super Source stones.

Moreover, Waldo doesn’t bother to explain why he killed or conceal the fact that he possesses valuable treasures. This has alerted most of the trialists in the Dark Lands. Everyone is eager to kill Waldo and seize the treasures from him.

"Five super Source stones! They can turn any first-level trialist into a second-level one. From obscurity to becoming one of the most powerful entities in the Trial Grounds. How can this not tempt people?!"

"Oh, sir, you’ve been too impulsive!" Tristan thinks anxiously.

In the chat channel, countless people are attacking Waldo, and many are claiming they will go after him. This makes Tristan very nervous. Even though Waldo is powerful and can overpower ninety percent of the trialists in a one-on-one situation, the current circumstances are far from simple.

"But this time, Waldo is facing an attack by numerous trialists at once! Among them, there might even be second-level trialists. How will Waldo cope? Does he really have a way to break through this situation? It’s highly uncertain! At least, Tristan doesn’t think so."

"Sir, you’ve been too impulsive! You shouldn’t have revealed your treasure, and you definitely shouldn’t have stayed in the same place, waiting for others to come and trouble you!" Tristan is frantic with worry.

As Waldo’s subordinate, if something happens to Waldo, what will become of him? Moreover, Tristan doesn’t have any food. If Waldo dies, even if the other trialists don’t come after him, his survival would still be difficult due to the lack of food.

Multiple thoughts flicker through Tristan’s mind in this tense situation. The five super Source stones are tempting enough. For every trialist, they are a fatal attraction!

On the boundless wilderness, Waldo’s shadow clone sits on a large rock, a cold smirk appearing on his face. Underneath that smirk lurks a chilling intent to kill. At this moment, Waldo is like a viper filled with deadly poison, the strongest, most lethal, and most skilled hunter in the jungle. He remains still, but when he moves, it’s like thunder, striking fatally.

"There’s no other way. I have ten special abilities and need a large number of super Source stones. The usual methods of obtaining super Source stones are too difficult and slow. As time goes by, it’s hard to widen the gap between me and others. So, I have to resort to some unconventional methods," Waldo thinks to himself.

What way can quickly obtain super Source stones? Of course, it’s plundering. Waldo doesn’t feel any sense of identification with the so-called trialists. Even though they are trialists like him, they come from different races and don’t have much in common. Moreover, they are competitors to each other. The number of people who can pass the assessment task is limited, and sooner or later, conflicts between them are inevitable — the kind that’s a fight to the death.

Therefore, when Waldo plans to take action against the other trialists, he doesn’t feel any psychological burden at all.

"Compared to others, he sees further and more clearly. He understands what he wants and the true nature of the relationships among trialists. If you dare to come, I dare to kill you! Kill one if one comes, kill a pair if a pair comes! The super Source stones are great, but they’re not something you can touch!" Waldo’s shadow clone whispers.

The voice is very soft, not carrying far before being dispersed by the howling wind. Who is the prey and who is the hunter is still unknown.

Time passes. In the blink of an eye, an hour goes by. Apart from the roaring of the wind, there is no other sound. It might even seem to the careless observer that this area is devoid of people. However, in reality, Waldo’s shadow clone has been sitting on that rock for over an hour, motionless, waiting for something.

At that moment, Waldo’s shadow clone suddenly looks up. His gaze is like a torch, like a burning flame, scanning in all directions. It seems that nothing is detected. However, Waldo’s heart is filled with cold laughter. It appears quiet around, as if no one is present, but Waldo’s senses are sharp. Even though this is just a shadow clone left in place to attract attention and fire from other trialists, it still possesses remarkable sensory abilities.

He has noticed that people have appeared, silently. Not just one or two. A preliminary estimate is that at least five or six people have appeared. They are very cautious, hidden in the shadows, not exposing themselves. It’s unclear whether they plan to ambush or for some other reason.

Meanwhile, the chat channel has become even more lively. Waldo’s unbridled killing of other trialists has ignited everyone’s anger. His challenge to all trialists has made countless people unable to contain their fury. What’s more fatal is that he has even revealed the valuable treasure he possesses.

In no time, Waldo has become the first focal character since the opening of the chat channel!
