At present, on Alice’s side…

After killing the last zombie, she stopped what she was doing and panted heavily. She hadn’t expected that the third wave of invasion would be so terrifying!

Even she was almost unable to pass it!

For the S-talent Divine Tree Masters, this time wasn’t considered fast. If they were compared to the Divine Tree Masters that hadn’t explored the other areas, and more zombies had invaded their territory than the other Divine Tree Masters’, then it could only be said that the time was just right.

There were still a lot of hidden bosses who hadn’t spoken yet. However, they couldn’t tell what was going on from the conversations in the world channel.

Alice covered her nose and looked at the world channel. There was a pungent stench in the entire Divine Tree Island, which made Alice very uncomfortable.

“There’s no useful information from the information we shared.

“As expected, bosses don’t easily expose themselves…”

Alice’s eyes trembled slightly. She urgently needed to know about the next invasion, or to be more precise, the information of the Divine Tree Masters, whose exploration progress was also 80%.

Their situation was most likely the same as hers. If she could share information with those bosses, she could make herself stronger.

This was a post-apocalyptic world, and their situation was one where access to information was half-closed. If she didn’t think of a way to obtain more information now, she might be the next one to be killed.

However, after reading the news on the world channel, she didn’t find any boss-level characters. At the very least, there was no boss on the same level as her or stronger than her.

“What are you searching for? Why are you so nervous? I thought the third wave had been dealt with, and I can finally relax!”

At that moment, Shivnan appeared at Alice’s Divine Tree Island again and jumped over the corpses of a few zombies, as if she had already gotten used to all of this.

“What else could I be searching for? Intelligence, of course. It will be helpful for our future plans.”

Alice’s eyes were fixed on the world channel. She did not want to miss any piece of information at the moment. Although most of them were useless, what if she chanced upon something useful?

Upon hearing this, Shivana pointed at her chin with her index finger, acting like she was thinking. Then, she pondered for a long time.

In the end, she gave up. She did not want to work hard on such a difficult matter. Anyway, it was not wrong to follow Alice.

“Forget it. I should think about how to deal with the stench.”

As she said that, Shivana jumped up and down again, looking for a way to get rid of the stench.

Ding!

At this moment, Alice received a message.

Enoch: “Alice, is your third wave of invasion over?”

This message stunned Alice.

Why did he send this message at this time to ask her this question?

Alice had a good impression of Enoch from their previous cooperation, but this question seemed more like a casual excuse to chat to her.

However, based on her understanding of Enoch, he wasn’t someone who would casually chat. This was especially the case when the Netherworld invaded.

This was simply against his style of doing things. Still, Alice wasn’t very clear on what the other party was thinking. 

After pondering over it, she could only come to one conclusion—that was that 20 minutes ago, Enoch had already cleared out his third wave of invasions!

Like them, Enoch had clearly explored more than 80% of Maka Town.

Why was his speed so fast!?

According to her deduction, Enoch’s talent was only class A, and what’s more, it should be a support-type talent. His production talent should not increase his combat strength at all!

Yet, why was he so much faster than her? If it was only 5 or 6 minutes, they could completely accept it. But… he had resolved the crisis 20 minutes faster than them!

This was clearly a crushing defeat in terms of strength.

Could it be that her previous understanding of Enoch was inaccurate?

His other talent was at least an S class, and it was one that was purely for battle. Otherwise, he couldn’t have been so fast!

At that moment, Shivana suddenly took two bundled blades of grass and inserted them into Alice’s nostrils.

Alice, who was caught off guard, was shocked.

“What are you doing, Shivana!?”

“Hahaha! There’s no more stench but a faint smell of grass instead now, right? Isn’t that good!?”

Although a burst of fire almost made Alice explode, the stench’s intensity had indeed been reduced after taking a careful sniff. It was just that it was very uncomfortable.

“It is indeed better, but can you be more serious? This is a critical moment.”

Alice held her forehead with a helpless look on her face. Although Alice had lost her temper, Shivana was still as nonchalant as ever. If she had not met her, she would have been like the other Divine Tree Masters who would have hit a wall everywhere.

“A critical moment? What is it?”

“Enoch sent me a message to ask if we have dealt with the third wave of invasion.”

“Just reply to him directly and tell him that we have finished fighting.”

“How can it be so simple?”

“What’s wrong?”

Alice shook her head again upon hearing Shivana’s question and sighed, explaining, “You have to know that the other party asked this question 20 minutes ago. We were still dealing with the third wave of invasion at that time, and I did not see it.”

“So what?”

“So… his strength might not be as simple as A-talent. It might be even higher. Have you considered this?”

“If that’s the case, what did he ask you if you dealt with it?”

Shivana was very confused about this.

What did Enoch’s strength have to do with them?

After all, being strong was just a means to forge a partnership. They didn’t need to care about it at all.

“So, this matter is bizarre.

“I just analyzed it. Since the other party asked me this question… Well, my ultimate goal in asking others this question would be to estimate the other party’s strength.

“In other words, this sentence seems very casual, but it should be Enoch’s way of questioning our strength. He is trying to confirm the extent of our strength.”

Shivana showed an even more troubled expression upon hearing this.

“Even if he knows our strength, what can he do?”

“You are really a little fool!” Without saying anything else, Alice knocked on Shivana’s head. The other party held her head and showed a pitiful expression.

“If he knows our strength, there are many things he can do! The most intuitive thing is to form an alliance!”

Shivana blinked her big eyes and asked, “In other words, when he asked this question, he wanted to form an alliance with us!?”

Alice looked at the message and nodded.. “Most likely…”
