Chapter 48: We Are Brothers!

  "This demon, although not yet born, has a very strong demonic nature. It's not that I look down on you all, but with your current strength, the possibility of defeating it is not great. Although this is the best time to eliminate it, we can't let several of you take such a big risk. Even if it's very reluctant, we can't let brave warriors with infinite future prospects put themselves in danger here. You have already come here and saved me and Chris, rescued Halef's soul, and we are very grateful. As for this demon, we can only take it one step at a time. There are many strong people on the main road, hoping they will come to subdue it."

  Ronnie said with a very sincere expression. This is what Ronnie, this NPC, says to Chu Rui and the others, as well as the system's warning to them.

  This task is very dangerous, they can give up, it doesn't matter.

  The lost mine, this hidden task, this hidden copy, the BOSS that clears is Harlev. This unknown demon is a hidden BOSS, absolutely one-of-a-kind. Perhaps not just one team can encounter it, but absolutely only one team can kill it. It's the only one, dead and gone.

  So, facing this only hidden task, even the system borrowed Ronnie's mouth to warn that the difficulty is not to be said, it's quite big. But, in response, the reward is also absolutely extraordinary. The things obtained here, at the very least, can make players who defeat demons take the lead, and the biggest ones can even affect the entire gaming career afterwards.

  So, Chu Rui was unwilling to give up.

  Knowing when to retreat is fine at times. However, in Chu Rui's dictionary, there are no words for fear, cowardice, and escape. What is the point of playing games? It's about having fun, it's about excitement. In reality, choosing to give up due to various circumstances is understandable. But if someone is also timid and hesitant in games, then that person is truly hopeless.

  "How can I miss out on such an exciting thing? I also want to see what that legendary demon is all about."

  Chu Rui shrugged and said with some excitement.

  "Since Brother Gui Shou has chosen to fight, I naturally won't run away either. How about you, Xi Huo?" Ye Zi Feng said with a smile.

  "I'm a man too!" The somewhat slender evening fire shrugged and took a step forward.

  "Don't underestimate women, I won't lose to you." Sa's chin was high and her fighting spirit was strong as she looked at Chu Rui, leaving him stunned.

  "I'll naturally follow SaSa, hehe." Tian'er followed behind SaSa, her round face full of mischievous and playful smiles.

  "Ladies and gentlemen,... thank you, thank you!"

  Roni looked at the people in front of him, his eyes slightly moist. He really wanted to eliminate this demon, for public reasons, if it got out, it would definitely harm others, and the first to be affected would naturally be the nearest Newbie Village; for personal reasons, this damned bastard was the behind-the-scenes manipulator who caused the tragedy of Kris, Harlev, and his own, and his hatred for it ran very deep.

  "Hahahaha... It's really 'heaven has a road that is not taken, hell has no door but they still rush in'. Today, none of you will think about leaving. I, the Emperor, will let you be sucked dry of your vital energy and soul to nourish myself, enslave your souls, and forever become my slaves."

  Suddenly, a gloomy and mysterious female voice echoed through the air, making the dark cave seem even more eerie and terrifying.

  "Who's there? Stop pretending! Come out!"

  Chu Rui's eyes narrowed, and he shouted in a cold voice. At the same time, his gaze quickly swept around, looking for any abnormalities, trying to find that damned monster's hiding place.

  "Run, Lori, Chris, run!"

  A familiar voice rang out, not only did Ronnie and Chris feel like they had been struck by lightning, but even Chu Rui and the others were stunned, their faces filled with incredulity.

  This voice... is actually that of Hallef, who has already died?

  Turning his head, he saw that Haref, who should have been a corpse, was now swaying unsteadily to his feet.

  "Hurray!"

  Kind-hearted Chris saw this scene and was about to run over to support Halef's shaky body.

  "Kris, don't go, he's not Harlev!"

  Quick-handed Ronnie immediately grabbed Chris and looked at Hallef, saying in a low voice.

  "You damned weaklings, dare you still resist me?"

  Suddenly, Hallef's eyes turned scarlet and his expression turned cold. He switched to that mysterious female voice again, raging furiously.

  "...you...guys...hurry up,I...can't...hold...her...much...longer..."

  His expression changed, Hallef's face was twitching, his expression was painful, and his eyes turned into pure azure. He opened his mouth, gritted his teeth, and spoke word by word, enduring extreme pain with each word.

  What's going on?

  Watching the sudden change in demeanor, as if possessed by an evil spirit, Chu Rui and his group were instantly stunned, at a loss for what to do.

  "Damn trash, shut up for me! A stupid and weak human being, dare to resist my will!"

  Halef's expression changed again to a cold face, his hands suddenly opened wide, and a powerful energy burst out, shaking the entire cave.

  "Hmm..."

  Suddenly, a dull thud sounded from Hallef's body, and a puff of blue smoke burst forth. A white, shadowy figure that was almost invisible to the naked eye emerged from it.

  "Hurray!"

  At the sight of the phantom's face, Chris let out a shrill cry.

  That's right, that specter is Halef's soul, the true Halef's soul, and not that unknown creature with a female voice.

  Roni reached out and took Halef's soul, looking at the enemy who had caused himself and his loved ones so much suffering, yet also his best brother, with a complex expression.

  "Ronnie, Chris, sorry!"

  The belated apology finally came out of Harlev's mouth. Without being distracted by the unknown demon, Harlev was actually in high spirits, although his soul was extremely weak, but at least he said it, and there was no danger of dispersing.

  "Although I did hate you at first, but all that's in the past now. The most important thing is that Kriss is safe now and you've recovered too. Let's just forget about those things!" Ronnie said happily as he glanced at Kriss beside him.

  "Thank you, thank you!" Hallef's voice choked: "Although I was deceived, if there wasn't darkness in my heart, I wouldn't have fallen to this state. I don't dare ask for your forgiveness."

  "No need to say more, Hallef, we are brothers!" Heavily patted Hallef's shoulder, and Ronnie grinned.

  We are brothers!

  Just five short words, yet they are said with a resounding and forceful tone. These straightforward five words contain endless meanings. This is not only the ultimate expression of friendship but also the ultimate embodiment of a great love called "tolerance"!
