TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Slash!!! Slash!!! Slash!!!

Clang !!!! Clang !!!! Clang !!!!

Sounds of cuts and metal hitting something hard are heard.

Liu Yang and the group of newbies were trying to do their best to stay alive amidst the siege of crystal creatures.

Some bodies can be seen on the ground, these bodies were among the weakest newbies, who died. Their levels were not very high, only 100-130, they were not strong enough to survive the attacks of the crystal creatures.

The number of members of the group slowly decreased until there were only about twenty people left, the rest were killed by the crystal creatures.

The group was separate and each had their own goals and methods for staying alive. Some pair up because of the extreme situation, they didn't have much chance of surviving alone, so they decided to stick together to have a better chance of surviving.

But not everything worked out, the smart ones betrayed their teammates and used them as bait for the chance to escape. This scene happens frequently.

The most naive are deceived and killed while the smartest stayed alive and ran towards the city.

With each passing minute, fewer people are left alive in the group.

Liu Yang continued with his indifferent face as he cut with the sword at the joints of the bodies of the crystal creatures.

Slash!!!! Clang !!! Crack !!!

The strength he had was enough to crack the joints, but not enough to break the hard body made of crystal.

"It looks like you really are hiding your power..." The young woman commented again. She was close to Liu Yang and watching him fight.

Liu Yang's actions proved that her guess is correct.

The young woman stayed close to Liu Yang because she feels there is more chance of survival if she does.

Liu Yang didn't care about that comment or the young woman's actions, he realized that she was using him as a shield. As long as she doesn't attack him or make a sneak attack, Liu Yang will not do anything against her.

"I am not hiding my power. I'm just saving my energy, unlike them over there" Liu Yang commented about the other newbies around. They were using all possible forces to try to defeat the crystal creatures or to try to open a path to run.

The path opened by the leader of the former group of veterans has already been closed by the crystal creatures.

"I see ... In addition to being good at fighting, you are also good at making excuses."

Slash!!! Slash!!!

The rapier in the hands of the young woman dances like a snake, her slender arms swing quickly from side to side. Quickly, the joints of the crystal creatures are cut.

The young woman was not only strong but also her equipment was also very powerful. But what is a person like her doing in a place like this?

"You are also stronger than you look." Liu Yang commented. He saw the young woman's agility and precision in attacking the crystal creature's weaknesses without any error.

"I was just lucky." The young woman responded casually.

"Would you like to make a deal?" The young woman finished cutting a crystal creature form and commented. She had a chance of surviving this siege, but getting safely to the city is something she won't be able to do.

Thus, the young woman needs help to get to the city. The only person she realized was the strongest of all at the place was Liu Yang.

"What kind of agreement?" Liu Yang knows that the young woman wanted his help to get to the city. For it is the only reason she would have to try to make a deal with him.

However, she needs to offer something interesting to get him to accept the deal. Liu Yang was confident of getting to the city alive. The problem is whether someone will try to kill him inside the city if he appears with heavy injuries.

For some reason, Liu Yang thinks that entering the city is not an easy thing to do.

As the place was quite dangerous and the crystals are abundant but need to be mined. Liu Yang thinks there is a fee to enter the city and the coins used are the creatures' crystals or mined in the mine.

"I will tell you everything I know about the rules of the mine" The young woman spoke solemnly.

"I see ... It looks like this place really does have separate rules ..." Liu Yang's thoughts were confirmed by the young woman's words. He had already imagined this because the place is closed.

The only way to get out of the mine is through the entrance door, but it can only be opened from the other side. Until that day, everyone is trapped inside the mine.

"You must have thought about it, but it is much more complex than you think" The young woman commented. She knows many things about mine.

"You seem to know a lot about this mine. You look more like a noble than a commoner in search of money" Liu Yang realized that this would be the case.

But who is the girl? Why was she on the spot fighting the creatures instead of going with the veterans?

A noblewoman like her shouldn't be in a place like this.

"You don't have to know about this. I just want to know if you are going to accept the deal or not." The young woman did not explain why she was there. She just wanted to know about the deal.

"Why should I trust you? You can also be like those idiots upfront" Liu Yang did not give his answer. Instead, he asked another question.

"Don't compare me to that group of idiots. They are not worthy to be compared to me. " The young woman spoke in a noble tone.

"These are just your words, but it is not enough proof for me to believe you." Liu Yang did not trust the young woman. Furthermore, he has no reason to accept the deal.

Learning new information about the mine was something that attracted Liu Yang's attention, but the risk isn't worth much.

"What do I have to do to make you trust me and accept the deal?" The young woman had to get Liu Yang to accept the deal because he is the only one who looks to be more reliable and strong enough to help her.

She came to that conclusion after analyzing people on the way to the mine and the struggles so far. Among the remaining newbies, he is the only one who seems to fulfill her requirements.

"I want you to tell me about the city and how to get into it. I also want thirty percent of the crystals you have" Liu Yang showed his demand. He asked for the crystals because he is sure that the young woman had it with her.

If not, she has no chance of entering the city.

"You!!! Are you trying to rob me???!!" The young woman was irritated by Liu Yang's demand.
