Although the sensing range of this thing isn't very wide, it's definitely very useful in some complex terrains.
Do you know what humans fear most in the apocalypse?
It's not those humans who appear to have turned into zombies.
Nor is it those ferocious, terrifying, disgusting monsters!
It's the monsters that suddenly appear and attack you where you can't see them.
If it's just an ordinary monster, that's fine, but if a zombie suddenly appears and even just scratches you, it could be fatal!
So now that Bruce has the sensing jade pendant to help him and the dark scroll to enslave his war pet to help him explore!
His safety factor has greatly increased.
And with so many things for him, even if he hasn't killed Jesse, it's definitely a big harvest!
"Hey, James, look at my current state, don't you have any thoughts about me?"
Having received so many treasures and even acquiring a monkey king, Bruce's mood is very happy.
He even joked with James and Ignacio across from him!
The reason he pretended to be tired!
One is that he doesn't want others to suspect that he's getting stronger through the system.
And the other is to test James.
"N-No, how could I dare to have any thoughts?"
Looking at the big monkey jumping around beside Bruce, James awkwardly laughed.
At this moment, he knew what he had missed!
So his smile was even uglier than crying.
Treasures!
Absolutely treasures!
James really wanted to vomit blood.
Although he didn't know what the ring and pendant were for! But that scroll is definitely a good thing.
When Bruce and the others exhausted their efforts to defeat the monkey just now!
He thought his chance had come.
Steal Bruce's treasures and then leave this secret realm.
That was his plan at the time.
But before he could make a move, Bruce had already dripped a drop of blood from the monkey onto that scroll.Then a mass of black gas flew out from the scroll, enveloping the dying monkey king.
In less than five seconds, the injuries of this monkey were visibly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye under the influence of that mass of black gas!
In less than a minute, it became lively and energetic again?
Most importantly, this monkey not only changed its previous irritable behavior but also became much more docile, completely obeying Bruce's commands?
I'm f*cking shocked....
Even a fool knows what that scroll is for now.
"I think, if your physical strength is fully restored!"
Bruce leaned against the tree, smiling at James. "Ben shouldn't be able to beat you!"
"Oh, stop pretending to be generous there," James sneered. "I've noted this debt down."
"Oh, are you threatening me?" Bruce flexed his arm. "Aren't you afraid that I'll have Ben keep you here?"
"Hiss!"
Hearing Bruce's words, Ben cooperatively hissed at James from the side!
A 1.8-meter tall golden-haired monkey king?
Who wouldn't be bewildered by seeing that?
James shivered. "Fine, you're ruthless enough!"
"But, is there anything else to do now? If not, I'll be leaving."
"Leaving? Aren't you leaving with me? I've said before that I'll provide protection for you all!"
The secret realm has two entrances, so naturally, it has two exits.
Now that several people are gathered here, they can easily choose any exit to leave.
"No need, I can protect myself! Besides, I don't like depending on others!"
James directly refused Bruce's kindness.
He awakened as a powerhouse, with strong strength and vitality.
As long as he gets a suitable weapon, he can definitely stand alone.
So... isn't it better to be the boss of oneself? Why should he go and be someone else's lackey?
Besides!
Bruce took away the treasures that originally belonged to him, and he can't even kill Bruce.
To watch him every day, isn't that sickening?
"Not leaving together?"
"Why? Do you really want to leave me here?" "That's not the case!"Bruce thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, since you insist on leaving, I won't force it. Ignacio, what about you?"
Hearing James say this, Bruce didn't continue to persuade him!
After all, James has a betrayal rate of up to 70%.
If he really goes with him, Bruce would have to send someone to guard against him, which would be more trouble than it's worth.
As for killing him?
That's completely unnecessary.
Bruce isn't a maniac. Killing him without a conflict of interest is meaningless.
It's not worth the effort.
"Me?" Ignacio looked at James, then at Bruce. "Boss, actually... I don't know..."
"I know you're still upset about what just happened, but what's in the past is in the past. Now is now!"
Seeing James hesitate, Bruce continued casually, "If you're still willing to stick with me, forget about what happened before. I can assure you that as long as you continue to work for me as before, there will be benefits for you in the future!"
"And what happened today will never happen again!"
"This..."
"Oh, by the way, Finnegan is with me now too! If you come with me, you can catch up with him!"
"Finnegan? Alright, Boss, I'll go with you!"
After thinking for a moment, Ignacio nodded solemnly, then turned to James. "James, sorry about this!"
With things being so chaotic outside, having someone particularly familiar can indeed make things easier.
Moreover, Bruce is so strong, and safety is more guaranteed.
"No problem!"
James waved casually. "In that case, I'll be off!"
Originally, Ignacio was Bruce's lackey, and he and Ignacio were only temporarily teamed up!
So now that Ignacio wants to leave with Bruce, he doesn't feel particularly sad about it.
"James, perhaps we'll meet again someday!"
Bruce grinned.
"Get lost, I never want to see you again!"
James cursed under his breath and walked towards another exit of the secret realm alone.
Bruce ignored him, stretched lazily, and sat up.
Following the usual procedure, he dripped a drop of his blood onto the ring.At the moment when Bruce's blood dripped onto the ring, the drop of blood was swallowed by the ring as if dropping ink into a basin of water.
Immediately after!
The ring shrank slightly, fitting perfectly on his finger.
A surge of mental energy also flowed into his mind from the location of the ring.
Bruce could instantly 'see' what was inside.
"A 10-cubic-meter space? Perfect!"
Bruce placed the scroll on the ring.
With just a thought, a blue light flashed across the sapphire on the ring.
The scroll and the pendant disappeared immediately.
Seeing this scene, Bruce smiled.
Cedric lying on the ground also smiled.
And Ignacio's eyes flashed with envy and... jealousy.
In the secret realm, Bruce grabbed three treasures, severely injured Jesse, and captured Ben as his war pet.
Meanwhile, Jesse was still unconscious in the convenience store.
The two situations formed a stark contrast.
6:00 PM!
The outside world didn't stop functioning just because of the conflict between Bruce and Jesse.
In Room 8046 of the Rhine Hotel!
Eight or nine survivors gathered here.
Joanne looked at the situation outside and couldn't help but feel a wave of despair.
"So, this is what you said, that someone would come to rescue us three hours later?"
Jerald said this when it was not even noon yet.
Now it's after six in the afternoon.
More than five hours, a whole five hours.
The people organized by Jamal couldn't even go downstairs to the second floor of the hotel, let alone see any signs of a rescue team anywhere else.
This made her very frustrated.
You know, she only had two buns and a cup of soy milk for breakfast!
Until now, she could hardly say she had even a drop of water.
"Joanne, this is just an accident."
Jerald awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Because the thing about someone coming to rescue us was indeed said by him.
