After Adams used up a Pyroblast Scroll, the outcome of the battle was clear. However, he was not rich enough to squander it freely, so he did not continue using the Pyroblast Scroll to deal with the remaining centipedes.

On the other hand, Vivian, who had been staying at the back, was worried that Adams would do something superfluous again. She hurried to the battlefield and collected the scattered Arrows of Death. Then, she eliminated the remaining centipedes one by one.

“Well done!” Adams gave Vivian a thumbs up in praise, only to see Vivian storming towards him with an enraged expression.

“Do you know what you just did? That’s a B-rank scroll that seals a high-rank spell that even ordinary cultivators can’t cast. Do you know how precious it is? With the current resources of the human race, we can create no more than a two-digit number of B-rank scrolls every year. Every time we use one, we’ll have one less, yet you’re wasting it so nonchalantly!” Vivian pounded Adams’ chest as she spoke like a thrifty wife.

Adams said disapprovingly, “Isn’t it just one scroll? It’s already worthwhile to use it to exchange for all our lives. Now is not the time to feel pity for the scroll. Let’s take a look at everyone’s injuries first!”

Unable to do anything about Adams, Vivians had no choice but to help him carry their injured companions and take out some medicinal herbs to stop their bleeding.

Seeing that everyone except herself and Adams were injured, Vivian didn’t have much hope for the exploration plan anymore. She sighed and said, “What should we do now? We have too many casualties. Not only will we be unable to deal with the dangers that we might encounter next, but it will also be very difficult for us to return!”

Adams, however, was still full of fighting spirit as he said, “It’s because of my rash advancement that everyone is injured. You guys stay here and rest. I’ll go in front to take a look!”

Garen, who was only slightly injured, immediately struggled to sit up and said, “Big Brother! How can we let you take the risk alone? We will follow you even if we die!”

Vivian immediately kicked Garen to the ground, and said in a serious voice, “What are you following for? You don’t have any combat power left. If you guys follow, it’ll be equivalent to sending you to your deaths. Stay here obediently!”

Adams also chimed in, “Miss Vivian is right. You’d better listen to her! I can also move faster on my own. I’ll come back soon!”

Vivian turned around and bellowed at Adams, “Do you think I’m just talking about them? You’re not allowed to act alone as well. It’s too dangerous!”

Adams hurriedly assured her, “Don’t worry. With my strength, I won’t be in any danger!”

Vivian stared into Adams’ eyes and suddenly heaved a resigned sigh. She said, “I’m not saying that it’s dangerous for you to move alone. What I’m saying is that if you move alone, we’ll be in too much danger!”

Adams faltered upon hearing this. Then, he turned to look at the others, only to discover that Garen and the others were also nodding in agreement with Vivian’s words.

Out of the blue, Adams asked, “Garen, can you still guarantee the accuracy of your throwing now?”

“Of course!” Galen promised.

Adams nodded. With a wave of his hand, a large pile of scrolls appeared beside Garen.

“There are 48 B-rank scrolls here. Coupled with the remaining C-rank scrolls in your hands, it should be enough for you to wait for my return, right?” Adams asked in all seriousness, as if he could take out more magic scrolls if Garen said that it wasn’t.

Garen had never come across a scene like that before. Looking at the small mountain of scrolls before him, he did not even dare to reach out his hand.

Vivian was also taken aback by this scene. Although she had thought that Adams still had many scrolls, the actual amount of it had once again shocked her!

The value of these 48 B-rank magic scrolls probably exceeded the Kevin Family’s total assets. They could even easily buy the whole Kevin Family!

Yet, such a highly expensive scroll was casually thrown out by Adams like trash, which meant that he had items that were far more valuable than a B-rank scroll.

Just how many trump cards does this person have? Even if he’s a descendent of a military personnel, it’s impossible for him to possess so many assets, unless he knows the location of all the military resources left behind by the human race! Vivian thought to herself as she became even more curious about Adams’ background.

Adams, who had just taken out forty-eight scrolls, acted as if nothing had happened. He calmly turned to Vivian and said, “Everything has been arranged. You can rest assured now. I’ll leave this place to you. Don’t be too afraid. I’ll be back soon!”

With that, Adams dashed off in the direction where the marker was located, disappearing from Vivian’s sight in the blink of an eye.

“Hey! Hey! I haven’t agreed to let you go yet! Adams, you irresponsible b*stard!” Vivian roared with rage as she looked in the direction where Adams had disappeared.

Lying on the ground, Garen and the others exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

“W-what are you guys doing? Why are you acting so secretive?” Vivian asked when she turned around and saw the peculiar expressions on the faces of Garen and the others.

With a suggestive expression, Garen said, “We can tell!”

“What can you tell?” Vivian asked in confusion.

Immediately, Galen excitedly said, “We can all tell that you and Big Brother are flirting. I believe it won’t be long before we have to address you as Big Sister-in-law!”

“Nonsense! Why would I flirt with him? Although his abilities are indeed very strong and he’s responsible, and his background and looks aren’t bad either, I only treat him as a friend!” Vivian explained in a frenzy.

However, Garen and the others became even more certain and they said, “You’re still denying the relationship between the both of you? We all saw it just now. The way you reprimanded our Big Brother is no different from a couple quarreling!”

Vivian stomped her feet in embarrassment. With no other choice, she drew the Bow of Death and threatened Garen and the others, “I’ll see who dares to say anything more. Believe it or not, I’ll make sure that person can’t speak anymore!”

…

On the other hand, Adams discovered a secret base built on the mountain wall not long after he set off on his own. The thick iron gate was tightly shut, but what was heartening was that it had not been ruined by the Zergs as it was locked.

“How should I get in? Which magic scroll should I try?” Adams muttered to himself as he raised his hand and touched the keyhole on the iron door.

“Hint! There’s a key under the stone beside the door!” the system’s voice suddenly rang out, taking Adams by surprise. He did not expect that the place where humans hid their key would be the same even in different realms!
