Chapter 639: Survival in the Mist 116

Wang Li became more alert after hearing this. She knew that trust takes time and experience to cultivate. But this mysterious man suddenly appeared in front of them and asked them to trust him unconditionally. This made her feel very uneasy.

However, just when she was hesitant, Xiao Zhang suddenly said, "I believe him. Since he can appear here, it must be related to the artifact and treasure. Why don't we listen to his thoughts first."

There was a hint of eagerness and desire in Xiao Zhang's words. He seemed to be eager to master the power of the artifacts and treasures. However, his eagerness made Wang Li more alert.

She looked at Xiao Zhang, her eyes full of worry and warning: "Xiao Zhang, don't be blinded by greed. We can't trust a stranger easily."

Xiao Zhang was displeased when he heard this. He knew he was a little too eager, but at this moment he could not take back what he had said. So he said, "Wang Li, you are too cautious. Sometimes, we need to take risks to succeed."

Wang Li secretly shook her head when she heard this. She understood that Xiao Zhang had been blinded by greed and had become blind and impulsive. She couldn't let him continue like this, or he would ruin himself.

So she raised her voice and said, "Xiao Zhang, please stop talking. We can't trust a stranger easily. This is a matter of principle."

Xiao Zhang's face showed anger when he heard this. He seemed to have lost his patience and respect for Wang Li. So, he snorted coldly and turned to walk towards the mysterious man: "Humph, if you don't believe me, there will always be someone who does. I am willing to cooperate with you."

Wang Li was shocked when she saw this. She didn't expect Xiao Zhang to make such an impulsive decision. She wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Xiao Zhang had already walked to the mysterious man and stood side by side with him.

The mysterious man looked at Xiao Zhang, with a hint of satisfaction and approval in his eyes. He seemed to have seen the result he wanted. So, he slowly said, "Very good, Xiao Zhang. You made the right choice. I will help you master the power of the artifacts and treasures."

Xiao Zhang was excited when he heard this. He seemed to have seen the day when he would become a strong man. However, he did not notice the worry and anger on Wang Li and others' faces.

Wang Li looked at Xiao Zhang and the mysterious man, secretly thinking of a countermeasure in her heart. She knew that this conflict was inevitable. She had to find a way to stop them, otherwise the whole team would be in danger.

So, she took a deep breath and said loudly: "Xiao Zhang, don't be blinded by this man. He is our enemy, not our friend. We can't cooperate with him."

Xiao Zhang heard this and showed a look of disdain on his face. He had been completely blinded by greed and became blind and impulsive. He didn't want to listen to Wang Li's nonsense anymore, and just wanted to master the power of the artifacts and treasures as soon as possible.

So, he snorted coldly and said, "Wang Li, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I have made a decision. I want to cooperate with him."

Wang Li sighed inwardly when she heard this. She knew that Xiao Zhang was beyond help at this moment. She could only find a way to stop the mysterious man in order to save the entire team.

So, she held the sword tightly and walked towards the mysterious man: "Who are you? Why are you helping Xiao Zhang?"

The mysterious man looked at Wang Li, with a hint of teasing and provocation in his eyes: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can help Xiao Zhang master the power of the artifacts and treasures. And you can only stop him here."

Wang Li was furious when she heard this. She gripped her sword tightly, and the tip of the sword trembled slightly, as if telling of her anger and determination. She couldn't let this mysterious man continue to do whatever he wanted. She had to stop him to save the whole team.

So she shouted, "Prepare to die!" and swung her sword at the mysterious man.

Seeing this, the mysterious man dodged Wang Li's attack easily. His movements were light and agile, and he shuttled around Wang Li like a ghost.

Wang Li's sword flashed through the air like lightning, but only left a trace of the mysterious man. She was shocked, she didn't expect this mysterious man to be so skilled. But she was not discouraged, but became more determined to defeat him.

She turned her body, the tip of her sword drew a graceful arc in the air, and stabbed at the mysterious man again. However, the mysterious man seemed to be able to predict her movements and was always able to easily avoid her attacks.

"Hmph, is this all you're capable of?" The mysterious man sneered, his tone full of contempt and provocation.

Wang Li's anger intensified when she heard this. She gritted her teeth, held the sword tightly with both hands, and concentrated all her strength on the tip of the sword. She swung the sword again, and this time the sword light was even more fierce, as if it was going to split the air in two.

However, the mysterious man just smiled and dodged her attack with another flash. His movements were light and agile, as if he was not restrained by any force at all.

"Who are you? Why do you have such powerful skills?" Wang Li asked breathlessly. She was beginning to lose strength.

The mysterious man did not answer her question, but said slowly: "You don't need to know who I am. You only need to know that I can help Xiao Zhang master the power of artifacts and treasures. And you will only become a stumbling block for him."

Wang Li became even more angry when she heard this. She said nothing more and swung her sword at the mysterious man again. However, this time her attack was easily resolved by the mysterious man.

"Enough!" The mysterious man suddenly shouted, and his figure flashed and appeared behind Wang Li. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the hilt of Wang Li's sword, taking her sword away.

Wang Li was horrified. She didn't expect the mysterious man's skills to be so terrifying. She wanted to break free from the mysterious man's control, but it was too late. The mysterious man pushed her lightly, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"Wang Li!" Xiao Zhang was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect the mysterious man to treat Wang Li like this. He wanted to rush over to save Wang Li, but was stopped by the mysterious man's eyes.

"Xiao Zhang, don't you want to master the power of artifacts and treasures?" the mysterious man said coldly.

Xiao Zhang's heart trembled when he heard this. He looked at the long sword in the mysterious man's hand, and a trace of desire and fear flashed in his eyes. He knew he couldn't give up like this, but he was also worried about Wang Li's safety.

"You...don't hurt her!" Xiao Zhang said in a trembling voice.

Hearing this, the mysterious man sneered, "Don't worry, I won't hurt her. But you have to make a choice. Do you choose to cooperate with me, or watch her get hurt?"

Xiao Zhang fell silent after hearing this. His heart was filled with struggle and pain. He wanted to master the power of the artifact and treasure, but he didn't want to see Wang Li get hurt. However, driven by greed and fear, he finally chose to cooperate with the mysterious man.

"Okay... I'll cooperate with you!" Xiao Zhang said gritting his teeth.

The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. He turned to look at Wang Li, his eyes full of provocation and pride: "Look, Xiao Zhang has made his choice. Do you have anything else to say?"
