"So that's what your causal talent was referring to—the thing that can help me advance to the fourth tier? Hmm?"

Sweet and Sima Yuan didn't know when they entered Wood Soul City. At this moment, he was manipulating space to observe Lin Xiao and the others.

"Sima Yuan, you should know that I have some grudge against Lin Xiao, right?"

Sweet looked at Sima Yuan with a strange expression on his face.

"Hehe, don't worry, of course I know about this. I didn't mean for you to go looking for them!"

"It's not the two of us who are ready to join that number one's operation, it's them!"

As Sima Yuan spoke, she gestured towards the other side of the room with her lip.

On the other side of the room, three survivors were sitting.

The one in the lead was a beautiful foreign woman with long, wavy blonde hair, possessing all three of the aforementioned positive attributes.

Mary Keith, SSS-level talent, Mist Manipulation.

As the name suggests, she can manipulate the mist in the misty world, and even pass through the barrier to go to the area she designates.

This time, she came to the Wood Soul Domain because she hadn't experienced the random teleportation of the territory barrier in a long time. As a result, she was teleported to the Wood Soul Domain and ended up next to Sima Yuan and Sweet.

After discovering the dense fog in the Wood Soul Domain, Mary Keith changed her mind about returning and instead brought her two subordinates with her.

Yes, it's two subordinates, and both of them possess SS-level talent.

Normally, a survivor with SS-level talent would not willingly become someone else's subordinate.

Unfortunately, the activation of these two survivors' talents has a requirement: they can only be activated in the fog.

Rogue, SS-rank talent: Summoning Mist Creatures.

The talent can only be activated in a place with mist, and the types and strength of the mist creatures that can be summoned vary depending on the density of the mist and the user's own strength.

This summoning of mist creatures does not involve summoning vine spirits, grass spirits, or thorn knights—these are the creatures that live in the misty world.

What it summons are creatures that truly live in the mist, such as the Black Scale Mist Beast that Lin Xiao and Sikong Xinyou encountered when they first met and were searching for treasure a long time ago!

Russell, SS-level talent, Mist Spirit.

When Russell comes into contact with the mist, he can transform himself into a spirit form, becoming invisible to the naked eye and immune to any physical attacks. As for elemental attacks, they will be weakened by 99%.

When Russell is in the mist, he can unleash 500% of his combat power and can use the mist to attack to a certain extent.

Both Russell and Rogge are at the third tier in terms of strength.

In fact, Mary Keith originally intended to bring Sima Yuan and the other person over by force, but because Sweet possessed SSS-level spatial talent, Mary Keith also learned about their strength.

She then abandoned her original idea and switched to cooperation.

Although each party had their own ulterior motives in this collaboration, they were still prepared to stand together on some fronts.

For example, it was Sweet who used his spatial talent to teleport them into Wood Soul City this time.

Mary Keith noticed Sima Yuan suddenly looking over, and since she had also seen Lin Xiao and his group through Swett's abilities, she asked curiously:

"Is he the one currently ranked number one in the world?"

Without waiting for Sima Yuan and Sweet to reply, she continued speaking to herself:

"That's right, he should be the world number one. I didn't expect you guys would have a conflict with him!"

As she spoke, Mary Keith looked at Sima Yuan and smiled.

Sima Yuan and Sweet exchanged a glance. Sima Yuan then quietly shook his head at Sweet, followed by a smile. He left Sweet and sat down not far from Mary Keith.

Of course, to prevent her from suddenly turning on him, the two still kept some distance.

"Oh dear ally, to be honest, for guys with SSS-level talent like us, who doesn't feel a bit annoyed looking at the person at the top of the leaderboard?"

"So, Lin Xiao, who's ranked number one, is also a survivor with SSS-level talent. We all have SSS-level talent, so why is it that only he has consistently held the top spot?"

"Even if he had held onto first place for a long time, that would have been fine, but then he actually pulled all his friends into the top three. Isn't that incredibly infuriating?"

"And we... have always been incredibly envious of his behavior, not to mention... based on what I know, that number one's talent level is definitely not SSS-level!"

"As for the exact level of that number one's talent, hehe, sorry, I still don't know!"

Sima Yuan's words, both openly and implicitly, revealed her dissatisfaction with Lin Xiao, who was ranked first.

But Sima Yuan's words seemed to have no effect on Mary Keith.

Mary Keith turned her head and looked Sima Yuan up and down:

"Heh, that was a clumsy attempt at stirring up trouble. Give up. Although I'm indeed a little unhappy that the number one has gotten such a big show of it, we won't bother him until my strength reaches the fourth tier!"

"After all, our primary goal as survivors is to live. I haven't lived enough yet!"

"Besides, although this person saved all four of them, surely no one would be foolish enough to think that he's some kind and easy-going person?"

"If that's the case, that number one would have fallen from grace long ago!"

Mary Keith smiled slightly, not paying much attention to Sima Yuan's instigation.

She stood up, called to her two subordinates, and then walked out of Sima Yuan and Sweet's room.

Just before Mary Keith's figure disappeared, she said something into the room:

"Considering we're still allies, I still advise you two: don't provoke that number one without proper preparation. Last night's fog tells me he's dangerous!"

Mary Keith gave them a final warning before disappearing completely from the doorway. Their room was diagonally opposite Sima Yuan's.

After Mary Keith and the others had completely left, Sweet turned to Sima Yuan and asked:

"Did the attempt to incite trouble fail?"
