They couldn't help but look at Ruby.

Ruby glanced at Ian with a flash of resentment in his eyes, but it quickly converged. He knew that if he questioned Ian at this time, he would absolutely have no good fruit to eat 1 . Here in the Wasteland, except for Du Dian, Martin and Rosemary were headed by Ian. Even if he was in the right, they wouldn't be biased toward him.

After all, in front of the interests, his problem wasn't even a fart.

He took a deep breath, then whispered, "I got panicked when I saw you were running fast; as a result, I accidentally fell. When I got up and looked back, I saw the big hole on its back. I estimated that it was already dead."

Du Dian nodded after he heard this. Suddenly, his heart moved and his eyes narrowed slightly. Although he didn't turn back, his vision fell on Ian, Martin, and Rosemary. As he was facing Ruby, he saw the three people exchanging meaningful glances.

Du Dian sneered slightly. Secretly gathering the strength, he was prepared to attack at any time.

Even though this Shadow Hunter was already dead, the corpse was a big treasure. Especially the legendary magic mark, the value was priceless. From the three people's look, obviously, their plan was to kill him first.

Ruby noticed the eyes of Ian three people; his face was changed slightly. Clenching his teeth, he said to Du Dian, "Let's cooperate!"

"Cooperate?" Du Dian frowned slightly. Looking at Ruby, he suddenly realized something.

"They want to deal with you. Let's cooperate! This Shadow Hunter's legendary magic mark is for you. When we return, we will report about this nest to the Dragon Family, then we will split the medal reward in half. What do you think?" Ruby stared at Du Dian's eyes — Ruby was pressing his luck. He couldn't have a revenge for what Ian did to him. Even if he passed through the crisis this time, he wouldn't be able to get along with the team and would gradually be marginalized. Even when carrying out the next tasks, the other teammates would probably scheme to let him become a corpse in this Wasteland.

Therefore, he had to fight.

Du Dian glanced at him and nodded, "OK."

Ian three people's expressions changed. Looking at Ruby in anger, Martin shouted, "Bastard, do you know what you're talking about? We are a team! How can we kill each other?"

"Yes, Ruby, don't be silly," Rosemary said hastily.

Ian looked at Ruby, saying apologetically, "I'm really sorry about earlier. I was anxious, and I didn't notice you. I'm really sorry."

Hearing this, Ruby was even colder. If Ian confessed truthfully, he might still be hesitant, but Ian's meaning was "unintentional". If he really believed it, he was an idiot.

Du Dian turned around to look at their sentimental performances, showing a faint smile, "Before, you said 'life and death teammates', but when you escaped a moment ago you unexpectedly used an underhanded scheme. Is this what you call 'team'?"

Ian's face slightly changed, looking at Du Dian and saying coldly, "What do you mean? Do you want to take this legendary Parasitic Soul Worm all for yourself?"

Du Dian said indifferently, "Speaking of this, it's you who want to take it all for yourself. Have you been planning to kill me and Ruby before you deal with other people? Are you going to take this opportunity to siege me and Ruby, saving energy in secret, then kill your exhausted teammates after the battle is over?" He then turned to Martin and Rosemary, "And you two, are you really sure that after this incident he will let you both return alive? He can do this to me and Ruby, he can you do the same thing to you."

"Nonsense!" Ian shouted angrily.

He was trembling with anger, simultaneously, there was a bit of fear at the bottom of his heart. He glanced at Rosemary and Martin; he was secretly on guard. Although he knew Du Dian's words were meant to drive a wedge between them, his heart still involuntarily trembled. He knew what Du Dian said was very likely. At this time, in front of the temptations of legendary Parasitic Soul Worm and legendary monster's eggs, it was hard for them to trust each other.

Martin's and Rosemary's faces turned pale and covered with cold sweat. Looking at the smiling youth in front of them, they felt fear. In just a few words, he could guess what was in their mind and created a crack between them. Such a mouth was sharper than the sharpest sword!

"Don't listen to his nonsense. He deliberately sows discord among us. Alone, we're not his opponents. We must work together!" said Ian, clenching his teeth.

Martin and Rosemary looked at him and nodded slightly, but their hearts were already shaken. They kept their vigilance up and didn't dare to give their backs completely to each other. At the same time, they also didn't dare to go all out. Like Du Dian said, if the other two people were secretly saving energy, they would have no more energy for the fight after they killed Du Dian.

Noticing that Du Dian was about to say something again — Ian knew that he couldn't let him speak again — he shouted angrily, "Ruby, why don't you attack?!"

Both Du Dian and Ruby were startled.

In a normal case, he was estimated to look back or evade instinctively, but Du Dian's eyes were always looking at Ruby. The reason why he was startled was that he didn't expect Ian would suddenly say such words, but at the next moment, he thought of something.

He turned around to Ruby.

The three people saw the opportunity and immediately came forward.

At this moment, Du Dian's 270 degrees of vision played a key role. Although he turned around, he could still see the actions of the three people. His body suddenly turned sharply and became extremely agile. His body swept like a whirlwind toward Ian in the middle.

Bang ! He raised his bladed-hand and cut to Ian's wrist, then a simple elbow struck at Ian's chest. Ian was shocked and stepped back several steps. He forcefully suppressed and swallowed the blood that was welling up in his throat.

Du Dian swiftly avoided Martin's war-knife and Rosemary's one-handed sword attacks; his body was slippery like an eel. Pulling the distance again, he returned back to Ruby's side, then whispered, "Be ready, it's hard to deal with three people alone."

Ruby nodded slightly and took out his battle-ax.

Ian clenched his teeth, roaring, he clashed with Du Dian again.

Suddenly—

Whoosh !

A strong wind blew and whirled around the surrounding trees and grass.

A whistling sound followed from the distant sky.

The five people that were fighting on the ground couldn't help but to divide their attention to the sky; suddenly they froze.

They saw huge bat wings descending from the sky, hovering over them and blocking the sunlight; the terrifying shadow covered all of them, emanating the breath of death.

When Du Dian saw the owner of these huge wings, his eyelids twitched; he was shocked.

This was not a monster, but... a human youth!

"Wing Family!" Ian and the others saw this person, exclaiming in astonishment.

Du Dian was startled. He noticed that this youth's armor design was somewhat strange. It was completely different from the Dragon Family's design; the color was also deeper. On the chest position, there was a distinct golden pattern — two soaring wings.
