Evans looked at Jiang Chen. "Level 110. Hero, you haven't met my standards. And as for your female companion, we don't need a Priest for a rescue mission."
"You might not be aware of how terrifying the Cannibal Tribe are; they move incredibly fast, have high Offensive Power, and their Defensive Power is frighteningly strong."
Evans tried to persuade Jiang Chen to give up on this mission.
Although Legendary Sets are tempting, they're not something just anyone can obtain.
Our task is to delve into the Different Worlds and head to the Pokala Region for a rescue.
"I have excellent equipment and ample strength."
"Really? Then show me your equipment."
Jiang Chen displayed his gear.
A bright blue glow emanated from his entire body. Everyone was dumbfounded; even Evans was astonished.
"Is that a Legendary Set?"
"It's not just individual pieces; it's a Set with Set Attributes."
"Isn't it only Sons of God who have Set Attributes? How does he have them? Could he be a Son of God?"
"Uh... With such good equipment, why is he even participating in this mission!"
"With such powerful Set Attributes, why would he go rescue people for some scattered pieces?"
Evans looked at Jiang Chen's equipment. Beyond his initial astonishment, he remained utterly amazed. He's already got Set Attributes; why does he need more equipment? He must be crazy!
Evans asked, "Are you a Son of God?"
"No."
Evans looked at the name on the Badge: Jiang Chen.
The others also turned their gazes toward that familiar name, and exclamations rippled through the group:
"He's Jiang Chen, the Swordsman from Xileruo World!"
"Indeed, it's him! It's said that he held off the Underworld Army and was granted a set of Legendary Equipment; turns out it's true!"
"He's a big shot!"
"Is he famous?"
"Nonsense! Dubbed the strongest Swordsman of Xileruo World, the one who single-handedly held back a million-strong army—do you think he's strong or not?"
"With him joining, our mission this time is almost a sure win!"
The hundred people looked at Jiang Chen's name and instantly understood who stood before them: a man who had single-handedly staved off a million-strong army and had also claimed first place in the Battle of Geniuses.
All one hundred of them grew excited. With Jiang Chen joining, this time there would undoubtedly be no problems.
Evans eagerly said, "You already have such equipment; why are you still taking part?"
"My female companion doesn't. I'm doing this mission to get her a set of Legendary Equipment."
Evans understood. So it was to prepare equipment for his girlfriend!
Jiang Chen asked, "What's Bartley's status?"
Evans explained, "He's a member of the Trex Family of the Titan World and also a Son of God. He's the son of the Chief Prosecutor of the Titan World and is also a prosecutor-in-training himself."
"The Cannibal Tribe found out his identity but didn't eat him. Instead, they locked him up in Pokala Prison."
Jiang Chen's face was filled with confusion. Locked up? Could it be the Cannibal Tribe has turned vegetarian?
Evans pulled Jiang Chen aside and explained in a low voice, "The Cannibal Tribe is planning to exchange Bartley for a suppressed Cannibal, whose identity is extremely mysterious and said to be a descendant of a god. Our mission is to rescue Bartley and safely return him here."
"Alright, let's set out!"
"With you joining us, I believe this mission will definitely be completed perfectly."
Jiang Chen looked puzzled. "Have others tried to rescue him before?"
Evans nodded. "Yes. The Titan Tribe once attempted a rescue, but their towering figures were easily spotted by the enemy, which is why other members need to be involved."
Evans also explained the reason. Imagine: members of the Titan Tribe stand eight meters tall, some even a terrifying ten meters. Their mere presence is enough to make them a target. Moreover, many in the Titan Tribe are warriors specializing in close-quarters combat, which is extremely disadvantageous in a fight against the Cannibal Tribe. Therefore, Evans decided to forgo the Titan Tribe and instead chose members of the Divine race to participate in the rescue, including various professions, to cope with any unforeseen circumstances.
Jiang Chen asked, "Do we have a plan?"
"First, we will establish a hidden Teleportation Array near the rift. If any danger arises, we can immediately teleport to the vicinity of the rift. As long as we find Bartley, we just need to roll up his sleeve, and he can be teleported back."
"The problem is that Bartley is in Pokala, within the inner parts of the Different Worlds, a city teeming with members of the Cannibal Tribe. Don't worry though; we have found a way to mask our auras."
Jiang Chen inquired, "What do you mean?"
"Members of the Cannibal Tribe look very similar to us, and their noses are extremely sensitive. They can sniff out whether or not we are Cannibals. With a certain Potion, we can adopt the scent of the Cannibal Tribe and avoid detection."
"That way, we can enter the Pokala Region without being noticed."
For a rescue mission, the first rule is that numbers must be limited. Evans explained that the Titan Tribe once organized a force of ten thousand to enter the Pokala Region, attempting a forced assault via a Teleportation Array, but they ultimately failed. To rescue Bartley, we must blend in. That's the main challenge.
Evans led the hundred people towards the rift. They had not gone far from the city gates when Evans took out many Potions and instructed, "This is a magical liquid, a Magic Potion made from the Cannibal Tribe. Pour these Potions over your bodies, and they will mask your own scent."
"In a short time, you will carry the scent of the Cannibal Tribe. Also, store all your Weapons in your Spatial Warehouse. The Cannibal Tribe don't use Weapons."
No one dared to delay; they promptly put away their Weapons and took up the Grey Potions.
They poured the Potions over themselves.
Jiang Chen sniffed the Potion, detecting a familiar smell. Uh... Why does this smell just like stinky tofu!
Evans poured the Potion over himself.
"Ugh, it stinks!"
"Stop complaining and pour it on, or you'll become food for the Cannibal Tribe!"
"How long will this Potion last?"
"About four hours. But don't worry, I have plenty. I brought over a thousand bottles. For now, everyone gets three. If you run out, come to me for more." Evans distributed three bottles to each person.
Angelina poured the liquid over herself. She sniffed the scent, and a wave of nausea hit her; she almost retched, nearly vomiting last night's dinner. Her brows furrowed tightly. "Ugh, this is foul!"
Jiang Chen smelled the odor. "It's quite fragrant, actually."
"Fragrant my ass! It's horrific! You must be a Cannibal in disguise to actually like this smell," Angelina said, rolling her eyes.
I'll try making stinky tofu when I get back. It stinks but tastes delicious!
Evans commanded, "Be careful, everyone. We are now entering Cannibal Tribe's Territory. Many Cannibals enter the Titan World to capture Titan Warriors and members of the Divine race. We are their food."
"But don't worry; with this Potion, we won't be detected."
"If we encounter trouble, try not to engage. Their combat style is completely different from ours, and it's easy to reveal ourselves. Once we're in the Different Worlds, let's all head towards the small hill to the north. We'll rendezvous there."
"I will lead you via side paths on our way to the Pokala Region."
