Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

The next day, the announcement for the four participating teams in the free battle took place.

Zachary got picked under the Blue Team, and Tracy emerged as the team's leader as her strength was at the ninth grade of Imperial Level. Polly and Pollard belonged to the Red Team and the Yellow Team, respectively. The Blue Team was going to battle against the Yellow Team in the free battle. Interestingly, the Yellow Team's leader was also at the ninth grade of Imperial Level, and he was from the Xiao Clan. His name was Kemp Yu.

Around this moment, in the house where the Xiao Clan members stayed, Vivian, Anthony, Zachary, and the other two Imperial Level warriors participating in the battle were all present.

"This time, Kemp and Shawn are in separate teams and are not opponents. Hence, the two of you have a high chance to enter the final battle. As for the team where Harley is in, they will fight against Kemp's team. I think Kemp will not lose to Tracy," Vivian analyzed.

"That's for sure. By then, Harley, you don't have to compete anymore, unless you ruin the peace between us." Kemp Yu glanced at Zachary. Although he said so, he was quite dismissive of him.

"Yes, of course. I'm not going to overrate myself." Zachary nodded his head with conviction, but in his heart, he said, 'You just wait and see! I will make you regret this later.'

"But Kemp, you should also take on a deceptive appearance. You'd better pretend to attack Harley. Otherwise, people might think he is a spy in the Blue Team!" Anthony said with sarcasm.

"Ha-ha, I know what you mean." Kemp Yu flashed a scornful smile.

After taking a glimpse at Anthony, Zachary left straight away.

To have a stronger alliance in the free battle, the nine warriors of the Blue Team gathered together before the battle began to have an unspoken agreement.

"My dear teammates, tomorrow is the free battle. This fight would be the deciding point if we can enter the final battle. So, I hope that we can all work unitedly and follow the command of our beautiful leader, Tracy," said Zachary with a determined look in front of everyone.

"To win the battle, Tracy and I have made a long list of battle strategies. So, as long as we listen to our leader's instruction, we are sure to win the Yellow Team.

There's no reason for you to be afraid. As long as we act together, we can eliminate the opposing team.

In

onents. If I help you, won't I be inflicting trouble to myself?" Polly frowned, appearing puzzled.

"Well, you're attending the competition to gain experience, right? I don't think it would matter if your team loses," Zachary assured her.

"Do you want to win?" Polly asked after a moment's hesitation.

Zachary nodded without saying anything.

"Well, what do you want me to do?" Polly knew that she owed him a favor in exchange for the Sun-swallowing Pill, so she couldn't refuse him. It seemed that Zachary was so full of determination to win.

Afterward, Zachary whispered something in Polly's ear.

"But I have to make it clear that I will no longer be indebted to you after I help you this time. I won't be under any obligation to repay you anything, and I don't want to see you anymore," Polly said firmly. She discovered that she was unable to calm herself down every time she saw Zachary. This made her feel very uncomfortable.

"No problem." Zachary winked and smiled. Then he left.

On the second day, the free battle occurred in two different areas. The winning two teams will enter the final competition.

There would be a direct elimination, which meant they had only one chance to enter the finals. For any team, the ensuing battle would be equivalent to a life and death battle.

This free battle would be a duel in the form of completing a mission. The first team to finish the mission would be the winner. But this wouldn't be easy to accomplish and could only be completed if the nine warriors work together. This battle would be full of suspense and excitement.
