Battle for Supremacy Across Realms: From Novice Village to Lord of the Gods

Unfortunately, Chen Jun was slow-moving and was caught by a snake after only a few steps, and was swallowed on the spot.

I awakened my speed talent, and relying on my speed, I led the other snake around in circles several times before desperately escaping here.

"Thanks to your timely arrival and killing of this giant snake that was chasing me, otherwise I would have died here too... This wretched place is full of dangers, it's no place for a human to stay."

At this point, Old Wang's face turned pale, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he trembled slightly with fear, even his voice became a little softer.

Lei Jue stood quietly to the side, his face cold and stern throughout, without any extra expression, but a hint of calculation flashed in his eyes.

In just a few hours, he firmly established himself in this rookie team thanks to his formidable skills.

Everyone willingly respects him as Boss Lei. Even though Old Wang is more than ten years older than him, he still treats him with utmost respect and dares not be negligent in the slightest.

After Lao Wang finished speaking, Lei Jue spoke calmly, his tone sounding peaceful, yet carrying an unquestionable commanding tone.

"Let's go avenge Chen Jun. Old Wang, lead the way."

"Alright, Boss Lei, stick close to me and don't fall behind!" Old Wang instantly stopped looking scared, his face full of eagerness, and rushed ahead to lead the way.

The group crept closer, heading straight towards the bushes where Qin Dilin was hiding.

Qin Dilin, who was hiding in the shadows, heard the entire conversation and immediately understood.

The highly venomous nine-ringed snake he had casually killed earlier had likely swallowed the person Old Wang was talking about, Chen Jun.

The footsteps grew closer, and Lei Jue and his group quickly closed in on their hiding place.

Qin Dilin immediately held his breath, shrank into the dense bushes, hiding himself completely, and even his breathing became extremely soft.

He originally planned to wait until the group of people had gone far away before going out to collect the snake corpses and extract the attribute rewards, but unexpected complications arose.

Just as the group passed his hiding place, a striking-looking girl in blue jeans suddenly turned her head.

A pair of eyes were fixed on the bushes, sharp and wary.

"Who's there?!"

The girl's name is Liu Yan. She has awakened a talent for hearing, making her senses far more acute than those of ordinary people.

The two were less than ten meters apart when she clearly caught a faint heartbeat from the bushes and immediately shouted angrily.

The shout came out of nowhere, startling everyone present. They all turned their heads at once, staring intently at the bushes, and began to reprimand each other.

"Who's hiding in there? Come out now!"

"Stop playing tricks! This place is teeming with ferocious beasts. Hiding here will only harm yourself and others!"

In this perilous wilderness, no one dares to be careless, for fear of encountering ferocious beasts or people with ill intentions.

In the bushes, Qin Dilin clicked his tongue in exasperation, knowing he could no longer hide, and could only reluctantly stand up.

There was no sign of panic on his face; his expression was calm, and his eyes were serene.

Let alone Lei Jue's mere seven people, even if another wave of people came, he wouldn't take them seriously at all.

"It's you?" Liu Yan looked at his face clearly and showed obvious surprise, her tone tinged with astonishment.

Qin Dilin raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at her, and had no recollection of this girl, his expression remaining indifferent.

"Liu Yan, do you know this kid?" Old Wang came over and casually asked.

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, her cheeks inexplicably flushed, and she felt a little flustered.

She didn't know them, but there were thousands of people in the chat channel, most of whom were of average appearance, or even a bit sloppy. There were very few who were handsome and decent-looking, and Qin Dilin was the most eye-catching one among them.

She valued appearances and had already secretly memorized the name and look of the man. Naturally, she couldn't say it directly, so she could only pretend to be calm.

"I... I've seen his profile picture in the chat channel, and I remember his name, Qin Dilin."

After saying that, she turned to Qin Dilin, her tone filled with concern: "Qin Dilin, why are you hiding in the bushes all by yourself? This place is too dangerous."

"Just passing by." Qin Dilin's tone was as indifferent as plain water, offering no further explanation and maintaining a distant attitude.

Liu Yan sighed softly and continued to persuade her.

"There are ferocious beasts everywhere in this wilderness. It's easy for you to get into trouble if you wander around alone. We just lost a teammate named Chen Jun."

She changed the subject and looked at Lei Jue, her tone pleading, "Boss Lei, why don't we let Qin Dilin come with us? It's too dangerous for him to be out there alone. It'll be good to have more people to take care of him."

Old Wang chimed in, looking at Lei Jue with a fawning expression: "Boss Lei, Chen Jun is gone, and our team is short-handed. Bringing him in will replenish our fighting strength, which is a good thing."

Lei Jue nodded slightly, secretly making his own plans.

In the early stages, the gap in strength between humans and ferocious beasts was enormous. Humans of the same level were simply no match for ferocious beasts, so banding together for survival was an inevitable trend.

Before long, all sorts of forces, big and small, will emerge in this area. If he wants to gain a foothold, he needs to gather people, establish prestige, and accumulate his own power as soon as possible.

Having figured this out, Lei Jue looked at Qin Dilin with a condescending and arrogant gaze.

"Qin Dilin, show me your attribute panel and talents. As long as your strength isn't too bad, I'll make an exception and accept you into my team."

Liu Yan immediately showed a delighted expression and hurriedly urged Qin Dilin: "Qin Dilin, quickly open the message and show it to Boss Lei. It's your good fortune to be able to join Boss Lei's team."

Old Wang joined in the boasting, looking smug.

"Our Boss Lei is a genuine Level 2 expert with a powerful Level D talent. Countless people would kill to join him, so you're incredibly lucky to be able to team up with us."

The other team members all had expressions that said, "You got a great deal." In their view, Qin Dilin would definitely agree without hesitation after hearing about Lei Jue's strength.

To everyone's surprise, Qin Dilin merely glanced at the crowd, his tone calm yet firm. "No need. I'm used to being alone."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked away with steady steps, without the slightest hesitation, heading straight into the distance, completely disregarding everyone present.

This scene froze everyone present, leaving them speechless and stunned, their expressions frozen, unable to react for a long time.

Everyone was shocked and secretly exclaimed: Has this kid gone mad? He actually dared to directly refuse Boss Lei? He's simply ungrateful!

Lei Jue also stood there, stunned, watching Qin Di Lin's resolute back.

His face instantly darkened, a hint of anger and surprise flashing in his eyes. He was both angry and puzzled, having never seen such a disrespectful person before.

He suppressed his anger and coldly said, "Go, I won't force you."

After saying that, Lei Jue took the lead and left, his steps carrying a hint of anger.

The rest of the team members quickly followed, whispering among themselves, all thinking that Qin Dilin was out of his mind and had let a great opportunity slip by.
