Chu Ze glanced at the level of these rookies and did not say anything. He just let Chu Ying and Li Manman lead these people behind him.
Little Fox sat on his head. He did not look dignified at all.
These rookies followed behind Chu Ze and did not even dare to breathe loudly. They had long heard of Chu Ze’s reputation. Moreover, they had seen Chu Ze fought when they were in the Island Mythical Realm.
After Chu Ze brought these people to the second level, he said, “I originally didn’t want to bring you guys. It was Li Feng who begged me, so I agreed to bring you guys to the eighth level.”
“In my opinion, bringing you guys to the eighth level now is equivalent to throwing your lives away. Even I didn’t dare to say that I could stay safe in the eighth level. Now, I even have to bring you guys who might act as tail draggers. I really don’t know what those higher-ups are thinking.”
“Now, you have one last chance. As long as you don’t want to go, I can let you go to the first level to do some chores. Your lives won’t be in danger.”
How could these newbies go back? They were all here with a mission.
Before they came, they already knew that they were going to the eighth level. Moreover, their respective leaders had already told them that they were to bring back the Mythical Realm Core of the eighth level.
Only those people who were recruited by the Pioneer were really here to gain experience. They really wanted to help Chu Ze find the Mythical Realm Core.
No matter what, those people would not quit. Their mission was to follow Chu Ze.
These people were arranged by the instructor. The instructor wanted Chu Ze to cultivate some of his trusted aides. When something really happened, Chu Ze would have some way to escape.
The instructor could see what those people with ulterior motives were thinking.
Chu Ze hadn’t taken out anything new in just a few days, and those people were already in a meeting to discuss how to deal with Chu Ze. Some people even wanted to slice Chu Ze up and study him.
By the time where someone wanted to deal with Chu Ze, the instructor and Li Feng wouldn’t be able to make a move at that time. If Chu Ze had some trusted aides by his side, it would be different.
Chu Ze looked around and said, “Alright, since no one wants to withdraw, we’ll start from the fourth level and push forward one level at a time. When we reach the seventh level, I’ll see how you guys perform before I consider whether or not to let you enter the eighth level.”
These rookies all showed a very energetic appearance, afraid that Chu Ze would not want to bring them in.
The third and fourth levels were no longer a threat to Chu Ze. He directly brought these people to the fourth level.
Chu Ze did not know much about the situation at the fourth level. He still had to rely on Little Fox to read the information on the fourth level and then find some places with evolutionary creatures for these rookies to hunt.
After reaching the fourth level, Chu Ze looked at these rookies and said, “I will divide you into groups now. Later, we will rank you according to the results of the group’s hunting of evolutionary creature.”
“With that, I can see the cooperation between you and your strength. It’ll be easier for us to make arrangements later.”
During the grouping, Chu Ze intentionally arranged the people that the Pioneer had recruited together. This group would receive Chu Ze’s special attention.
After the grouping was completed, Chu Ze headed towards the entrance of the fifth level in the mythical realm. Chu Ze only gave these people three hours. After Chu Ze reached the fifth level’s entrance, the time countdown would start.
If these people still hadn’t arrived after Chu Ze reached the entrance of the fifth level for three hours, then they would be ranked last. The others would be ranked according to the evolutionary creatures they hunted.
Little Fox, who was sitting on Chu Ze’s head, smiled and said, “I feel like you’re just letting these newbies do the hard work for you. Don’t you have enough evolution points?”
Chu Ze smiled and said, “It’s a waste not to use the free hard work. Anyway, I don’t plan to bring these people to their deaths.”
“Our main mission to the eighth level this time is to gather information, not to snatch the Mythical Realm Core. Of course, we still have to snatch the Mythical Realm Core when there’s a chance.”
After the rookies had all left, Chu Ying and Li Manman climbed onto Chu Ze’s head. They only showed respect to Chu Ze because of the rookies.
However, Little Fox did not understand the issue of being respectful. She had been on Chu Ze’s head since the beginning.
Chu Ying climbed onto Chu Ze’s head and asked, “Is it really okay for these newbies to explore the fourth level by themselves?”
Chu Ze smiled and said, “It’s no problem. The lowest level of these people is level 20. If they can’t even move freely in the fourth level at this level, then they might as well go back.”
Then, Chu Ze thought for a moment and asked, “Is the Mythical Realm Core of the fourth level still there?”
“It has been taken away long time ago. How would it be still around by now? We haven’t found the Mythical Realm Core of the seventh level yet. Should we go and try?”
Chu Ze pondered for a moment and said, “Forget about the seventh level. I heard that there are no resources at the seventh level. Even if we manage to snatch it, we can only build some bases.”
Chu Ying smiled and said, “We can snatch the seventh level and sell it to those real estate bosses. Hahaha…”
“Stop fooling around. Let’s look at the state of those newbies.”
Although Chu Ze said that he didn’t care about these newbies, he was concerned about them in his heart.
Even if those people weren’t recruited by the Pioneer, Chu Ze was still very concerned. Those people weren’t the ones who wanted to do these things. They were just following orders.
These were all young people with a bright future. He couldn’t let them die in the mythical realm just like that.
Chu Ying turned on her communicator to take a look and then cried out in alarm.
“Brother, something’s going to happen. Some rookies have reached the ant colony zone.”
Chu Ze didn’t know that there was actually an ant colony at the fourth level. He hurriedly asked, “Where is it? Let’s hurry over there.”
Chu Ying extended her hand and pointed. “It’s in this direction. Some rookies are approaching the ant colony zone. Looking at their direction, they should be deep into the ant colony in half an hour.”
Although Chu Ze had never seen an ant colony before, he had heard of its power.
These evolved ants had extremely strong defenses. Normal attacks would not be able to break through the defenses of these ants.
“Hurry up and contact those newbies. Tell them to retreat quickly.”
Chu Ying shook her head. “It’s already too late. It’ll be over the moment they get close to that ant colony.”
“According to previous information, this ant colony is very aggressive. As long as someone gets close, they will move out in full force to chase after the intruders.”
“Those newbies have already started to retreat quickly. It looks like they are being chased by the ants. We have to speed up.”
Chu Ze was already very anxious at this time. He didn’t know how long these rookies could last. However, since they were still running away, there shouldn’t be any danger.
If these rookies stopped, then it would be really dangerous.. That meant these rookies were surrounded by ants.
