Chapter 327 First round (5)
When it was all over, everyone just picked up the items that dropped.
Since we were in a dungeon, the monsters all dropped items when they were defeated.
We had left the items from before because they were normal goblins, but not this time. This was a goblin camp, so the drops that came from this place were much better than drops from normal goblins.
After picking them up, we were about to decide where to go next.
But then we heard a cry.
"Stop it! Why are you doing this?"
It was clear that this was a human voice.
Julius and Alex immediately looked over at me and I just gave a nod.
Then our groups headed off without any hesitation.
We went in the direction of the voice, but we made sure to hide ourselves as well as we could.
My group was covered in Long Shui Ling's illusions.
Julius' group was covered in a barrier that seemed to make them blend into the background.
And Alex's group was covered in a dome of water that refracted the light shining on them to make them invisible.
We quickly found the source of this voice.
It was a group that was currently being besieged by another group.
As for who they were, they were all humans.
They were all contestants that were also participating in this tournament.
It was clear that the group that was surrounding the other group was attacking them.
None of us were surprised to see this since we had already expected something like this to happen. Even the host had clearly stated that this kind of thing was accepted and it was clearly written on the rules that one could get points from other contestants.
It was just that we never thought that it would be happening so early.
It was only half an hour since this first stage had begun. Continue your story on empire
It didn't seem like enough time for people to gather points, so it seemed pointless to attack people now.
But there were still people too dumb to realize that I guess.
When we came closer, we were surprised to find that it was a group that we recognized.
It was Cheng Hui and the group from the Beijing Tigers.
They were the ones that had surrounded this group of people who seemed to be unaffiliated Awakeners.
The group of unaffiliated Awakeners seemed like they were in a very bad position right now.
One of them was even missing an arm, which they were now holding in their other hand.
It seemed that the fighting had been quite intense before we arrived.
As they stood there facing each other, one of the unaffiliated Awakeners shouted, "Why are you doing this? Why are you attacking us when there's no grudges between us?"
Cheng Hui and the rest of his group suddenly began laughing when they heard this.
After laughing for a bit, Cheng Hui said with a nod, "Indeed, there's no grudge between us."
The unaffiliated Awakeners couldn't help revealing a confused look.
It seemed that this was the first time that Cheng Hui had actually responded to them, so they were naturally caught off guard by this.
But then the one who had spoken before couldn't help asking, "Then why are you doing this if there is no grudge between us?"
Cheng Hui looked at him with a wide smile and said, "Why does there have to be a grudge for us to attack you? Maybe we're doing it just for the points?"
The unaffiliated Awakeners immediately knitted their brows when they heard this before their representative said, "You've been following us from the beginning, you should know that we don't have any points."
Cheng Hui gave a shrug and said, "Does it really matter? Just the chance that you have points is enough for me."
Looks of disbelief appeared on the faces of the unaffiliated Awakeners.
They never thought that someone would be this unreasonable, but here was Cheng Hui acting this way in front of them.
The representative of the unaffiliated Awakeners couldn't help shouting, "How could you be this unreasonable? You're representatives of a large guild and you're acting this way? Isn't this letting down the fame of your guild?"
Cheng Hui gave another laugh before his face turned cold and said, "Are you slandering our guild? Do you understand the consequences of these actions?"
The other members of the Beijing Tigers group all suddenly had cold looks on their faces as well as they looked at the unaffiliated Awakeners.
The unaffiliated Awakeners immediately felt the pressure that came from their group when their faces all turned cold.
The representative quickly said, "No, no, we weren't slandering your guild."
But Cheng Hui wouldn't listen to them anymore as he said, "For slandering our guild, the only fate left for you is death."
As soon as he said this, the members of his group started attacking again.
The unaffiliated Awakeners did their best to block these attacks, but they were pushed back even further.
It seemed like it would only be a matter of time before they were crushed by Cheng Hui's group.
As we stood there watching, we saw all of this.
As Cheng Hui's group attacked, Julius and Alex both looked at me as if they were asking what I thought about this.
I shook my head as if saying that I didn't know what to do either.
Our three groups just stood there watching this, but I was slowly thinking about doing something.
Seeing them bully the unaffiliated Awakeners like this, there was a feeling that was rising inside of me.
But I could justify it since they were enemies of Elementia in the first place.
If we were to take them out now…it would actually be good for us…
So I was very tempted to just take them out here.
Julius and Alex could see this, so they looked at me with looks like they were saying, "We're behind you if you do this."
In the end, I gave a nod and we made our move.
