Chapter 1053 A Stalker Behind
On Promise Island, about 12 miles from the harbor, there is a forest. At this moment, it’s noon, and the
sunlight is just right, not too glaring. After all, the red mist above Promise Island has filtered it once. In
the forest, a hover car was parked, surrounded by more than a dozen people. Suddenly, a loud scream
shattered the tranquility of the woods.
Kaleb stared at the disappearing arm, which began to turn pitch black from the shoulder down. You are
a Flame Decayer!” Beside them, the captain of the Treasure
Hunter team exclaimed in shock. Gerald glanced at them with a faint smile and said coldly, “If you want
to kill someone, be prepared to be killed!” Buzz!
At this moment, the aura of the supreme Flame Decayer suddenly surged from Triston standing nearby.
“Supreme Flame Decayer!” Everyone on the other side cried out in shock.
Their captain went even further, dropping to his knees and pleading, “Pal, we were wrong, it’s all our
fault. Please, spare us this time.”
“Spare you?” Gerald sneered, “If I spare you, will you just continue to oppress and kill weaker people
when you encounter them in the future? Killing a few of you could save countless others. I think it’s
worth it.”
“If we’re going to take action, we need to be quick. Taking too long will attract the attention of wild
beasts or mutants,” Lucinda’s voice came from inside. “Ten seconds!” Gerald exclaimed.
As the sound faded, Kaleb, who stood before Gerald, didn’t even have the chance to scream before he

But at that very moment, streams of water suddenly rose into the air, twisting and turning like vines,
trapping those people in place. In an instant, Triston appeared in front of the opposing team’s captain.
The captain’s body rapidly began to swell, his attribute-related ability likely involving the strengthening
of his own physique. However, it was to no avail. As Triston’s spear struck down, the captain’s body
was suddenly pierced through!
Gerald’s magma flowed, swiftly melting those who were trapped by Kristian’s water currents! The entire
process happened in the blink of an eye! After dealing with everyone, Lucinda in
the car was shocked. She had guessed that the strength of this team might be very strong, but she
didn’t expect that all of them would be above Flame Decayer level, and even the momentum Triston
had just shown was that of a supreme Flame Decayer.
Among these people, she only received information about Kristian. As for the others, including Sylvie,
she wasn’t quite clear about them. Are all these people young members of the Archaic Tribe? she
asked with doubt in her heart.
However, she didn’t mention anything about it. Instead, she said, “It’s a pity that you burned everything
on those Treasure Hunters. Usually, many of the items they carry could have been useful to us.”
Gerald chuckled and said, “No worries, let’s go ahead!” They got in the car, and then the vehicle started
up once again.
The car continued its journey through the desolate countryside. Not long after they left, a figure leaped
down from a distance. He touched his chin and said,
“One of them is indeed Kristian Pierce from the Archaic Tribe. The other two who took action are a
Flame Decayer expert with a magma attribute and a supreme Flame Decayer who didn’t reveal his
attribute.” After finishing his statement, he smiled slightly and said, “It’s not impossible that they have
two or three supreme Flame Decayers, but overall, the problem isn’t too significant.”
After he finished speaking, he pressed his lips together and let out a loud, impressive whistle.
As the whistle sounded, silhouettes of people leaped through the trees, darting back and forth in the
surrounding woods. In the car, Gerald sat not far from Lucinda, who was driving. Meanwhile, Gerald
was humbly seeking her advice.
“On this island, there are people who show kindness outside of the wilderness, but they are very few.
Once we venture into the wilderness, we don’t know how long it will take to return to the base. For
example, this time, in theory, it should only take us a day or two to reach the base of the Archaic Tribe.
However, there might be quite a few unexpected incidents along the way,” Lucinda explained.
“Plus, the plants and animals on this island are not suitable for consumption, so food is quite scarce in
the wild,” Lucinda explained. “And since it’s all about treasure hunting, incidents of murder and theft are
quite common.”
“In short, we need to be cautious out here and try not to trust anyone, right?” Triston asked from the
side.
“Not quite right!” Lucinda said, and then thought for a moment before adding, “Sometimes, even our
own people! Betrayals and such are not uncommon!” “Understood!” Gerald nodded.
“We’re about to pass through one of the most dangerous areas on our way back,” Lucinda suddenly

Gerald looked ahead and indeed, there was a vast marshland in front of him. A type of green plant
grew all around, with leaves that appeared to be quite sturdy.
“This plant was cultivated by the Promise Group in the past. Over the years, it has undergone
numerous mutations. Its leaves are now as sharp as blades, and if cut by them, toxins will enter the
human body, paralyzing the nervous system,” Lucinda explained.
“There are also many wild beasts and mutants lurking inside, making it extremely dangerous!” At this
point. “Is this Misty Mound Forest?” Kristian asked.
“Indeed!” Lucinda nodded, “It seems you’ve done quite a bit of homework.” Kristian laughed and said, “I
know this place mainly for another reason, because it’s the birthplace of the Seven-Colored Cat.”
“Hmm?” Gerald looked at Kristian in surprise and asked, “Seven-Colored Cat?”
“Ah, that type of cat can change its color according to the environment, and it’s very good at
understanding human nature. It seems that Ms. Cat has several of them,” Anabel explained to Gerald.
“So, this is where the cat comes from,” Gerald said with interest, stroking his chin. “If possible, I’d like to
bring one back for Belinda.” Belinda is also a cat lover who adores cats immensely. Back on Earth, she
was even nicknamed “Cat Lady.” “Catching this creature is too difficult.
The one Ms. Cat has is a domesticated Seven-Colored Cat that grew up in the wild. Its wild nature
makes it extremely hard to tame!” Anabel shook her head and said, “The cat that Ms. Cat has was
raised by her since it was a kitten.” During their conversation, the car had made its way into the
marshland. In the marshland, the car hovered close to the ground, as if it were floating over the swamp.
“There’s someone up ahead!” At that moment, Triston looked out the car window and saw two vehicles
parked on a patch of land in the swamp. One was something like a motorcycle, and the other was an
off-road hover car, somewhat similar to the one Gerald and his friends were driving.
