Chapter 44: The Third Stage of the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb!

At this moment, the other investigators also came to their senses. They looked at Wang Ye and his green sparrow in shock.

He was fine?

“Well, why would a Beastmaster like you join the Investigation Corps?” Wang ye narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “Comrade, there are rules in the assessment. Assaulting an investigator during the assessment is a serious crime. In addition, you didn’t just assault them, you wanted to kill them. That is a capital crime!”

Although Wang Ye’s footsteps were still a little wobbly, he slowly walked toward Lin Lei, “Speak. Why do you want to kill us?”

The other investigators walked over as well, their faces filled with rage as they stared at Lin Lei.

Although they didn’t know why Wang Ye had faked being injured, at this moment, they cared more about why Lin Lei wanted to attack them.

Lin Lei gulped. Looking at Wang Ye, he said calmly, “I was just momentarily blinded by greed and wanted to take this giant tree for myself. The resources generated by this giant tree are worth millions…”

“So, just now, you were using us?” Yun Xiaobei said angrily.

“How can you say that? We were just fighting together…” Lin Lei said slowly, “And all of you simply accidentally died in battle.”

“…” Everyone.

“Wait, why is he so calm?” Yun Xiaobei looked at him and suddenly felt that something was wrong, “Lin Lei, your life and death are now in our hands. Aren’t you afraid?”

The other investigators immediately looked at the cloud dragon, as though guessing whether or not Lin Lei had any other tricks up his sleeve.

They immediately tied him up.

“Afraid? I’ve committed a serious crime. When we get out, I’ll die anyway,” Lin Lei said lazily, “Even if I die here, what difference does it make to me? Do you expect me to kneel and beg for mercy?”

Wang Ye looked at him, as though he was thinking about something.

“How could you do this?” One of the investigators couldn’t help but berate him, “You actually attacked your comrades? How could the Investigation Corps allow someone like you to join?”

“Idiot,” Lin Lei just laughed coldly, “Why can’t someone like me join? You’ve already joined the Investigation Corps, yet you still don’t have an inkling about yourself? Let me tell you, forget about Dongli Country, even in the Xinghai Province itself, do you know how many resources it takes to raise a pet to level nine? Do you know how many resources it takes to train our talents to the highest grade?”

“Even if trash like you pass the assessment after joining the Investigation Corps, with your mediocre talents, you will only live for two more years at most. In the end, all of you will most likely die in some secret realm, or under the claws of some dark fog strange god. You will ultimately just become cannon fodder! How many resources will you waste for nothing?”

“Just like this purple-thunder jacaranda, what value can it have on you? But on me, it’s different. My talent, Lightning Control, is in the top thirty in the Elemental Talent Sequence. My pet is a Supreme class lightning-type pet that will evolve into an Overlord class pet in the future. With my potential, as long as I grow, the value I would create would be far greater than that of trash like you.”

Lin Lei glanced at them, “The resources of the entire country are limited, to begin with. Right now, the dark fog is spreading in all directions. To save resources and nurture powerful pets and Beastmasters is the top priority. To be honest, you people can’t even be considered cannon fodder in the dark fog.”

“If we do fight with the dark fog, do you think you’ll be useful without an elite trump card like me? Being able to be used by me is better than wasting resources on you for nothing since you won’t be able to do anything but become cannon fodder in the end, right? Think about it. There’s a logic to this.”

“You aren’t those elite Beastmasters who entered university, nor are you the descendants of those families with deep social backgrounds. You are just ordinary Beastmasters who joined the Investigation Corps because you had nowhere else to go. Look at the reality!”

…

Silence. Pin-drop silence.

The faces and ears of the investigators were red from Lin Lei’s words. Their eyes were bloodshot, and their hands were tightly clasped together, as though in the next moment, they were going to tear him into pieces.

Seeing this, Wang Ye thought to himself, “Good Heavens. Such profound words that were soft but powerful.”

Even though they knew that this was heresy, the investigators still didn’t know how to refute him.

“Look at all of you,” Lin Lei laughed, “Do you feel that what I said is wrong, but you don’t know how to refute me? That means that in your hearts, you know this very well. You just don’t want to admit it.”

“Are you done with your nonsense?” At this moment, Wang Ye spoke out.

“What? You want to kill me?” Lin Lei said calmly, “I advise you not to do this, though. Because if you kill me, you won’t be able to leave this forest.”

These words immediately stunned the investigators.

“You… What do you mean?” Yun Xiaobei asked coldly.

“Nothing much,” Lin Lei laughed, “I only know some of the more secretive things. Do you know about the third stage? The trial at the third stage is to leave this purple forest and head to the sword catacomb to kill a sword skeleton soldier within. That’s how it normally goes, but if you leave now…”

Speaking up to this point, Lin Lei smiled, “You will die a miserable death.”

The investigators were stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Lei with cold smiles on their faces.

They didn’t believe him at all.

“If you don’t believe me, why don’t you send someone out to give it a try? Even if you don’t go to the third stage, you’ll face the same ending if you head back.”
