Those who reincarnate must die.

The reincarnators from the Shen clan exchanged bewildered glances.

What are these rats up to?

The leading member of the sub-clan laid out various items before them, including weapons such as swords and guns, props such as potions, scrolls, and talismans, as well as some strange and unusual items that the reincarnators could not identify.

After taking out more than a dozen items, the sub-clan member took out a small briefcase with the research institute's logo printed on it.

"That's..." Even though they were dozens of meters away, Dr. Bard recognized it at a glance: "That's the institute's isolation box, specially used to store important samples and reagents!"

"As expected of Dr. Bard." The leading member of the sub-clan chuckled. "This box contains the original solution of the Eternal Virus. If I'm not mistaken, the Shen Clan members have come here for this, haven't they?"

Seeing the skeptical looks from the Shen tribe's sacrificial offerings, the sub-tribe member added, "If you don't believe me, you can scan it with your badge."

Catherine stepped forward, remotely scanning the box with her glasses, then nodded: "Inside are our main quest items, research data, and the Eternal Virus stock solution."

Ning Chengyu frowned upon hearing this and shouted, "What exactly is your purpose?"

The Zi Clan member put down the box and chuckled, "Although you are merely offerings, those who have made it through the corridor ahead must be among the best of the best. You must have heard of our Zi Clan's style; we are the best merchants among the twelve planes. We have stable business dealings with many other races, and even many heroes of your Shen Clan have cooperated with us."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Ning Chengyu had no time for the other party's long-winded explanation: "Since you know it's a mission item, hurry up and give us the virus stock solution!"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, impatient young man..." the sub-clan laughed, "This world was indeed once ruled by the Shen Clan, but now, with the rampant virus and the collapse of civilization, the remaining Shen Clan is less than one ten-thousandth of its original size, which already meets the standards of an unclaimed world. Our sub-clan discovered this place and took control of its resources, which is in accordance with the relevant rules of interdimensional warfare."

"Therefore, this world, the areas we control, and the items we've collected rightfully belong to us. As for the tasks of your Shen clan's altar, those are none of our sub-clan's reincarnators' concern!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, he added, "However, as I said before, we prefer a fair trade to a bloody battle. If you can offer something of equal value to these items and have a fair fight with us, you will not only have a chance to get the virus source, but also possibly these precious items in front of me."

As he spoke, the sub-clan member waved his hand, setting the attributes of all the props on the ground to be displayed.

The Reincarnators scanned the items with their badges and found that the worst of these rewards were rare, most of which were uncommon, and there was even a longsword that was unique!

These items held little appeal for Zhang Lang, but to ordinary sacrificial offerings, they were treasures capable of significantly enhancing one's strength, causing many to gleam with excitement.

Catherine sensed a conspiracy: "Wait, what do you mean by a fair contest? And even if we win, how are you going to reward us with these altars? Through merchants, right? What if we lose and don't honor our promise?"

"Squeak squeak squeak..." The sub-clan laughed a few times, then raised their hand to display another fire enhancement;

Reward Type: Fire Enhancement

Award Name: Referee

Rarity: One of a kind

Effect: The holder possesses referee authority, allowing them to demarcate playing areas, establish rules, and plan matches. Once other participants agree to the referee's rules, they must abide by them. However, the referee's rules must be fair and impartial, ensuring that the participants' efforts and rewards are commensurate.

Note: The competition is always fair, but the players are not necessarily so.

…………

It's a unique level of fire enhancement, and it's named after the class.

This referee inevitably brings to mind the rare profession of merchant. Both of these are beings who can alter the rules of the altar to a certain extent, and their use is not subject to many restrictions.

"Could there be other professions at the altar?" Zhang Lang's interest was different from others.

"Of course!" Xu explained in his mind, "The enhancements of the altar are varied and strange. Among the fire enhancements, the one with the most authority and the most convenient is this kind of class enhancement. If you have the chance, you should try to get one. It will make many things much easier."

While Zhang Lang was having his internal dialogue, the opposing sub-clan had already listed the details of the match.

Each of the props in front of him is a reward, corresponding to a competition. Each side sends out its own personnel to compete and determine the winner. If the Shen clan wins, they can take the reward; if they lose, they have to pay something of equal value.

Some of the rewards can be obtained in a one-on-one situation, while others require multiple participants. For example, to obtain the virus stock solution, a five-on-five hand-to-hand combat team battle is required.

"If you want to obtain the virus stock solution and complete this main quest, you'd better participate in our competition." The referee sub-clan let out a squeaking laugh. "Oh, and by the way, to leave this place, you also need to participate in a competition!"

As he spoke, he revealed the rules for the final competition:

Three heroes from the Shen and Zi tribes are chosen from among the sacrifices to fight to the death. If the Shen tribe wins, the remaining heroes of the Zi tribe will leave and will not hinder the Shen tribe's mission. However, if the Shen tribe loses, the three Shen tribe contestants will be killed, and the others can also leave.

Three sacrifices against three heroes have no chance of winning. This final match is to allow the sacrifices to leave behind three scapegoats so they can escape.

Faced with the invitation from the heroes of the sub-tribe, the sacrificial offerings of the Shen tribe fell silent.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." the referee from the sub-clan chuckled, "Of course, the referee's competition isn't mandatory; you can choose not to participate. But in that case, we won't be the parties involved in the transaction. Whether you can complete the mission and leave here alive will depend on your own abilities!"

As he spoke, a hint of killing intent flashed in the eyes of the sub-clan referee.

Thirty-six sacrifices against eight heroes seem to offer a significant numerical advantage, but each sacrifice knows that the opponent dared to propose this match because they must have considerable confidence. The sacrifices themselves are weaker than the heroes, and fighting in an arena the opponent has carefully planned for, makes it unlikely they will gain any advantage.

"We need to discuss this..." Catherine said loudly.

"Alright, you have five minutes to consider." The Zi Clan referee took out an hourglass and turned it upside down on the ground, and the Shen Clan began to discuss.
