Chapter 50: Team Conflict
Scarlett glanced at Holster guiltily.

Holster seemed to sense something and looked over directly, a smirk playing on his lips. He then said in a sinister tone, "Strange, we've been in here for so long, why is there no news in the group chat? Did they die as soon as they went in?"

What a venomous mouth!

The moment their lips met, Scarlett was terrified he would poison her.

She wiped a bead of cold sweat from her forehead and agreed, "Maybe."

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the shelter.

A three-story white villa with a garden in front, a swimming pool in the back, flowers on the balcony, and a large rooftop terrace.

It's like a dream love room!

Scarlett walked to the door, about to open it and go in, but then she thought about it and decided she shouldn't do anything dangerous herself.

He turned and gave Holst a wink.

Holst turned the doorknob expressionlessly, pushed the door open, and went inside.

Scarlett followed him inside.

In the large living room.

There are eight people standing here at this moment.

One female and seven males.

They had just arrived and were looking around the living room when they heard the noise outside the door and turned around in unison.

Scarlett felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at by eight pairs of eyes at the same time.

She forced a smile, her lips twitching stiffly. "Hello, did I scare you? I'm here to escape the poisonous barrier too."

She quickly pulled Holster's arm and linked it with hers: "Together with my beast husband."

Holster looked down at Scarlett's hand, frowned, and secretly tightened his grip on her arm, trying to shake her off.

Scarlett noticed his resistance, secretly pinched the inside of his arm, gritted her teeth, and whispered, "Give me some face."

Actually, she wasn't concerned about saving face.

She didn't want others to realize that she and Holster didn't get along.

There is competition in this section.

Any act of discord reveals a weakness to the other party.

Scarlett didn't want to be at a disadvantage.

Holster paused, his gaze settling on Scarlett's profile.

A full forehead, a delicate nose, and a smile at the corners of her eyes, with a touch of soft pink, making her as pretty as cherry blossoms at dusk.

Her lips, like flower petals, slowly bloomed in a delicate pale pink, glossy and radiant, just like they had that day.

That day!

Holster was stunned!
He shook off Scarlett's hand even more forcefully!

As if trying to shake off a huge trouble, his tightly furrowed brows revealed deep disgust.

Holster was too strong, and Scarlett couldn't handle him at all, so she was thrown to the ground.

Her elbow slammed against the hard floor, causing her to gasp in pain.

The eight people who saw this scene were all stunned.

A male attacking a female? That's outrageous! It'll get him in court!

The female among the eight was the first to react, and came over to help Scarlett up: "Are you alright?"

Scarlett shook her head. "It's nothing."

The female glanced at Scarlett and asked tentatively, "Is he really your beast husband? How could he treat you like this?"

In Lost Continent, you can hire someone to lead your team in leveling up.

The females, seeing how Holst treated Scarlett, suspected they weren't a couple.

The power leveling service is usually S-rank or higher, so it's best to ask beforehand.

Scarlett glared at Holster. "He's my beast husband, but he recently suffered a head injury and hasn't fully recovered yet. He often acts like he doesn't recognize his own family."

The female chuckled, "I see."

She helped Scarlett sit on the sofa and introduced herself, "My name is Bella, and they are all my beast husbands. This is our first time in this section; we're still newbies."

Scarlett smiled and said, "My name is Shen Scarlett, and this is my first time here." People from the heavens who come to the underworld all take a disguise pill, which will change their appearance to some extent to prevent their identities from being revealed.

Scarlett cut the trumpet without any burden.

Bella smiled and said, "The poison barrier will be released in five minutes. Where are your other beastmen? Haven't they arrived yet?"

Scarlett said, "They're on their way, probably soon."

Bella's eyes curved into crescent moons as she glanced at Holster in the distance and asked, "Would you like to team up with us?"

"Team up?"

"Correct."

Bellamo was about twenty-five years old, with neat short hair, regular features, and a very approachable demeanor. Her light blue eyes were particularly beautiful, clear and transparent, like the sky after a rain. "You should know the rules of the leveling area, right? This area is only so big, so disputes are inevitable. I saw you only had three beastmen outside, so I'm asking if you'd like to team up with us."

"There are six teams in total. The other four teams will probably form an alliance as well. You can consider it. We can split the loot in half. If we encounter other teams, we can fight them together, reducing the danger and clearing the level faster."

Scarlett listened and nodded.

When it came time for her to express her opinion, she did not speak immediately.

She firmly believed that there's no such thing as a free lunch; if one did fall from the sky, you'd be the filling inside, eaten by someone else.

Scarlett pretended to think seriously and remained silent for almost a minute.

until……

The door to the small villa was pushed open.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Scarlett saw Chi Ye and Sylvia walk in together.

She greeted them with a smile, stood between them, put her arm around each of them, and introduced them to Bella: "They are also my beast husbands."

Then she looked up at Chi Ye and said, "Xiao Ye, Bella said she wants to team up with us. What do you think?"

She blinked.

Chi Ye was stunned by Scarlett's "Xiao Ye" and didn't come to his senses for a long time, so he naturally didn't receive her hint.

Ono.

What is this name?
It sounds strangely nice.

Chi Ye smiled.

She was clearly very pretty, but in Scarlett's eyes, she looked like a silly husky.

Especially when Scarlett gave him a signal but he didn't receive it, he became even more like a silly, goofy husky.

Scarlett pinched and gently tugged at the flesh on Chi Ye's arm. "Chi Ye, shall we team up with them?"

Chi Ye felt a sharp pain in his arm, which brought him back to his senses. He met Scarlett's half-smiling eyes and immediately understood what she meant.

Turning to the short-haired female in the living room, he said, "Sorry, we're used to going it alone. Bringing another person would mean more danger, so we won't be taking you. Go have fun by yourselves."

Chi Ye's words were extremely impolite.

They openly and subtly mocked them as a burden, showing that they didn't take them seriously.

Bella and her group all looked grim upon hearing this.

One of the burly males stepped forward and said gruffly, "What do you mean! We kindly offered to guide you, and you've turned your backs on us! It's only because we females are kind-hearted that we wanted to help you since you were outnumbered. Once you're outside and meet other females, things won't be so kind!"

"is it?"

Chi Ye narrowed his eyes, tossed a large sword over his shoulder, and asked with a forced smile, "How about we try it out outside first?"
