Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 62 I will definitely wear them down!

Holst raised his eyelids, glanced at him without any emotion, and pointed to Scarlett, "My mistress is over there."

It means that if you want to kowtow, kowtow to Scarlett; if you want to apologize, apologize to her; whether or not she can forgive you is up to her.

Eugene understood, turned around and kowtowed to Scarlett, "Thank you for saving my mistress despite past grievances. I had no choice but to lie just now, and I hope you can forgive me."

Scarlett disliked people kowtowing to her and waved her hands repeatedly in refusal, saying, "Get up, don't be so polite. It's just a small favor, as long as it helps you."

Eugene did not get up, but remained kneeling on the spot, and solemnly said, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will answer everything I know this time."

Scarlett shifted to the side, avoiding Eugene's kneeling, and said gently, "I don't really have anything to ask, I'm just curious how you got injured. The blood coming out of your wounds looks normal, not like the marks of an attack by a poisonous zombie. Were you attacked by someone else?"

Eugene nodded emphatically. "Yes. We were attacked by another team, six of us died, and now there are only three of us left."

As soon as the words came out.

Scarlett felt a distinct tremor in her heart.

The shock made her blood forget to flow, and her hands and feet felt icy cold.

When leveling up in the Lost Continent, casualties are inevitable, but losing six people at once, especially to another team, is a significant blow to Scarlett.

Even if these people didn't die in front of her.

She still had the illusion that the smell of blood was overwhelming.

She couldn't refuse.

She has to accept it.

There was a pause for a few seconds.

Scarlett continued, "Which team attacked you? Do you remember?"

The incident happened ten minutes ago, and he remembers every detail vividly.

The image of that group of people was etched into his mind, and it was hard for him to forget it.

A trace of grief flashed across Eugene's pale face, mixed with a hint of gnashing hatred. He replied, "I remember. It was a team of seven. The female leader was very tall and quite robust, the male was lifeless and didn't like to talk, and there were three small poisonous corpses following at the end of the team. They were very easy to spot. You must be careful if you encounter them."

Scarlett silently thought to herself: We've met before.

But it also felt strange.

Hela encountered them twice without anything unusual happening; although her attitude was cold, she remained outwardly polite.

Why did they attack Eugene?

Is there some kind of unusual phenomenon?

Scarlett immediately asked, "Why did they attack you?"

Eugene was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."

He really didn't know.

They were looking for shelter when the other party suddenly appeared, attacked them without saying a word, and their methods were ruthless and deadly.

If he hadn't been wearing a protective shield...

More than six people died.

They will all die.

Eugene's pain intensified, and Scarlett, unable to bear asking any more questions, pursed her lips and said, "Thank you."

……

……

The poisonous gas dissipated.

The night outside the shelter was even darker.

It was 10 p.m.

We're just waiting for the final wave of poison gas to arrive, then today will be over.

There were no streetlights around, and everything was hidden in darkness. The buildings, rising and falling, resembled a black dragon winding its way to the end of the road, where they met the night sky.

It's hard to tell whether the furthest point ahead is a road or a sky swallowed by darkness.

"There are no poisonous corpses." Chi Ye searched around but couldn't find any trace of them.

This is a very strange phenomenon.

The poison gas gives rise to poisonous corpses, which lurk around living creatures, waiting for their chance to strike.

However, when the poison gas disappeared, they didn't see a single poisoned corpse.

Compared to the previous times.

There were poisonous corpses every time.

Why did it disappear this time?

Chi Ye was puzzled.

Without the poisonous corpses, they can't find the key; without the key, they can't get out, and things will become increasingly complicated.

He hates trouble.

Upon hearing this, Scarlett had a bold idea. Seeing that she was surrounded by her own people, she spoke up: "Could it be that the little poisonous zombies can attract other poisonous zombies? Hela can use them to lure the poisonous zombies to her, and then wipe them all out to get the key. That way, no one can get the key, and they will be the ones controlling this leveling process. We need to follow their lead."

"unreasonable."

Holster raised a question: "If they want to farm exclusive items, the fewer people left here, the better. Why would they want to monopolize the key?"

Chi Ye also said, "That's right. She should have let them out; how could she have left them here?"

Scarlett thought about it and agreed, and dismissed the idea.

But upon further reflection, she had a new insight.

She asked Chi Ye, "Are there any additional conditions for the appearance of exclusive items? For example, does everyone who wants to level up stay here? Or does the chance of the item appearing next to the person who kills more monsters increase?"

Chi Ye hesitated and shook his head: "I don't know."

Bounty hunters are a profession, and only they know the tricks to farming items.

Chi Ye had never farmed for exclusive items, so he wasn't sure; all the information he had came from others.

Holster listened to Scarlett's words, recalled the relevant information, and a flash of inspiration struck him. He said, "Yes. There is a way to activate the double experience item, which is to kill everyone in the leveling area."

"We are orcs, and in a sense, we are monsters after our mental breakdown."

"I guess the reason Eugene and the others were attacked is because someone of low level was bewitched, their mind went haywire, and they turned into beast form."

Unfortunately, Eugene and his team left, so this idea couldn't be verified.

Scarlett suppressed her fear of the word "kill" and looked at Holster. "You mean, they'll attack the orcs who have transformed into beastmen?"

"Yes."

Holts narrowed his eyes and said, word by word, "They will find a way to turn everyone into beast form and then kill them in order to activate the double exclusive items."

His words carried a murderous intent.

Scarlett felt a chill run down her spine.

But she also found a way out, saying magnanimously, "If we don't turn into beasts, we won't die."

Holst curled the corners of his mouth into a slight smile, seemingly laughing at Scarlett's naiveté.

He lifted his eyelids slightly, and beneath his thick, bushy eyelashes, his smoky gray pupils gleamed. "Your Highness, if we can't find the poisonous corpse, we won't get the key, and we'll be stuck here forever. The fog over the Lost Continent will grow thicker and thicker, and our minds will become weaker and weaker. Sooner or later, we'll become their meal."

"No and no."

Scarlett raised her index finger and waved it in front of Holster's eyes. "We're at a standstill, and so are they. It's not certain who will be the prey."

Scarlett glanced at Holst up and down, her chin raised in a defiant gesture. "Or does Captain Holst, an SSS-rank officer, think he can't outlast them and wants to admit defeat early?"

Holster raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by Scarlett's words; he began to wonder.

I'm curious about where Scarlett Johansson's overly open-minded confidence and optimism come from.

His eyes were smiling, but his tone was ruthless: "Don't worry, I will wear them down."
