If it weren't for Hamel, Bai Ye felt things would be difficult.
After all, this was a Wish Mission. The others whose names Bai Ye couldn't recall, even if they were just cannon fodder, they were still top-tier cannon fodder.
But because it was Hamel, there was no need to choose.
That guy had innate super-regeneration. It was debatable whether Hamel could kill others, but killing Hamel himself would be incredibly difficult.
Therefore, by using Hamel to hold Li Jia Yi in place, Bai Ye felt he might finally have a chance to finish him off.
As for Wei Zhu Xie and Lance Gart, these two with established names, though not as powerful, should be capable of annoying Hamel and Li Jia Yi.
Moreover, not to mention Bai Ye's intention to get rid of Li Jia Yi.
With the ranking finalized, Bai Ye had eliminated four, five, six, and seven ahead of him. Whether Wei Zhu Xie lived or died...
Even if Bai Ye thought Wei Zhu Xie was killed by Hamel, Hamel's pursuit count would be nowhere comparable to his own.
As for Li Jia Yi, Bai Ye felt that ever since the pursuit of Hamel began, this unlucky kid was already finished.
Whether he lived or died was debatable, but with Hamel blocking the way, Li Jia Yi had almost no chance of winning the Wish Mission.
At best, if Li Jia Yi suddenly went berserk, killed Hamel and Wei Zhu Xie, with Bai Ye standing in front of Li Jia Yi, in terms of pursuit count, Bai Ye would most likely still be higher than Li Jia Yi.
Li Jia Yi's only chance of winning was to take down Bai Ye.
If Li Jia Yi could truly do that, then Bai Ye would have nothing to say. He was already wiped out, what else could he say? Any calculations would be meaningless.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye had sorted everything out and attached the number plates below each name.
"Order has been arranged. The Wish Mission will commence in thirty seconds."
"Countdown begins: 30, 29, 28..."
Bai Ye watched the countdown appear, arms crossed, waiting silently.
Meanwhile...
...
In a forest, a deafening roar echoed.
In front of Li Jia Yi was a monstrous beast.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that in the Lin Kingdom, there was a rare beast, as large as a tiger, adorned with five colors, its tail longer than its body, named Zou Wu. Riding it could cover a thousand miles in a day!
As a master, Li Jia Yi also understood the principle that one's own strength was paramount. He didn't particularly like beast taming.
However, like Bai Ye, although he wouldn't deliberately seek out and pursue beast taming, if it was presented to him, he wouldn't mind acquiring it. Bai Ye's Gengar and Goodra were obtained this way.
Therefore, his dislike didn't prevent Li Jia Yi from capturing the Zou Wu, after all, the exotic beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas...
These were truly top-tier existences in the beast taming world!
Even though the Zou Wu wasn't ranked high in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it was already a mid-tier red-quality beast, capable of overwhelming many other beasts.
Of course, the difficulty of capturing the Zou Wu was not low.
After Li Jia Yi coincidentally discovered the Zou Wu, he immediately decided to capture it. However, the Zou Wu's greatest strength was its speed, and it could travel by wind and lightning.
In a fight, the Zou Wu couldn't defeat Li Jia Yi, but Li Jia Yi had chased it for seven days before the Zou Wu was utterly exhausted.
Now, the Zou Wu was finally at its limit!
Li Jia Yi smirked and walked towards the Zou Wu, saying, "My dear, come into brother's arms obediently!"
Li Jia Yi gradually approached the Zou Wu. The Zou Wu seemed to have given up resisting, so tired that it could only lie on the ground panting, its gaze conveying a sense of "do whatever you want."
But at this moment...
Li Jia Yi's expression froze. First, he showed an expression of disbelief, then immense anger.
"Which son of a bitch started a Wish Mission at this time? I will never forgive you..." Li Jia Yi cursed, then quickly made a microphone gesture and called his beautiful, idiotic assistant: "West Cang Mountain, capture the Zou Wu, quick, quick, quick..."
Before Li Jia Yi finished speaking, his figure gradually became translucent and then completely disappeared.
The female assistant looked bewildered. Where was West Cang Mountain? What was a Zou Wu? Could it be eaten?
...
In a dim ancient castle, Hamel sat on a stone throne, holding a glass of red wine and slowly savoring it.
But at this moment...
A sudden notification made Hamel pause, then he curved his lips into a smile.
"Just right. This place is over, and new fun has arrived."
Hamel looked up. In the empty grand hall of the castle, there were dozens of corpses whose blood had been drained by Hamel.
...
High mountains, spiritual springs.
The mountain stream felt cool, with birdsong echoing.
A wild rabbit leaped out from the mountains and stuck its tongue out by the stream, drinking the water.
Suddenly, the rabbit raised its head and leaped away from the stream.
Because...
A wisp of bright red was slowly drifting down the stream.
At the end of the stream, several men were running fast, their faces showing panic, clearly afraid of something.
Suddenly, the men stopped, looking forward with trepidation.
In front of them was a young man, appearing to be only in his early twenties. He wore a half-armor with a strong cybernetic style, a half-face ghost-fang mask, and a mechanical-looking long blade in his hand, which was constantly dripping blood.
One man gritted his teeth and shouted across, "We are from the Hidden Dragon Society. Do you know the consequences of crossing us? You will be hunted, pursued to the ends of the earth..."
*Pfft!*
Before the man's words could even finish, the other party suddenly raised his hand and flicked.
A section of the mechanical blade broke off and shot forward as a silver light. Immediately, the man's eyes widened, his head tilted unnaturally, and then fell from his neck.
"Hidden Dragon Society? You think I'm afraid? Or, who knows that I killed you? Do you think there will be any survivors today?"
The young man sneered. The metal backpack on his back suddenly ejected thrusters.
The young man's body turned into a blur, darting through the members of the Hidden Dragon Society.
Blood splattered, and then one by one, they fell to the ground.
The young man sneered, casually flicking the blood off his mechanical blade.
But at this moment...
The young man's movements paused, then he smiled and said, "There's a Wish Mission. Looks like I'll be getting some good stuff."
The next instant, the young man's body became transparent, gradually faded, and then disappeared.
...
One by one, the participants were sent into the space of the Wish Mission.
Then they looked at the rules of the Wish Mission displayed on the light screen, until they reached the final Wish Mission rewards...
Almost everyone's expression changed at this moment, and they couldn't help but curse.
"Which bastard wished for this kind of mission? Was their head crushed by a door, or did they soak too long in the bath? Damn it!"
Amidst everyone's curses, Bai Ye's figure also gradually faded within the Wish space.
