Chapter 2146 - 2146: New Friends

'The eliminated participants lose their Elemental Spirits?'

If this information were true, the consequences would be terrifying.

The reason why humans were able to stand against the Demons and the Spirit Beasts was because of the help of the Elemental Spirits.

Even a powerful cultivator would suffer a devastating loss if all their Elemental Spirits suddenly disappeared.

Moreover, the four of them had already obtained substantial rewards from the First Round. They had no particular reason to risk losing everything just to obtain more.

'Brother Ajax, thank you for warning us.'

Thorne took a deep breath and looked at Ajax gratefully.

'Thank you, Brother Ajax and Sister Nyra.'

'We've already obtained a lot of Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals and four Divine Elemental Potions,' Thorne continued. 'We were already thinking about leaving the Elemental Source Land with our rewards. Now that we know about this danger, there is even less reason for us to stay.'

Unlike the other top ten participants, who had secured their rankings through their own strength, Thorne and his team had achieved theirs mainly because of Ajax.

They had already received far more than they had originally expected.

Therefore, even without Ajax's warning, they had been considering leaving the Elemental Source Land after obtaining their rewards.

Now, with the possibility of losing all their Elemental Spirits hanging over their heads, their decision became even easier.

'Brother Ajax, take this.'

Suddenly, Thorne summoned a bronze circular token and tossed it to Ajax.

'A Teleportation Token?'

Ajax was familiar with the Teleportation Token, which, when used, would teleport the user to a particular world connected to the token.

'If my universe can have Teleportation Tokens, they will obviously be in this universe.'

Ajax was not surprised to see the Teleportation Token.

Even though it could teleport the user, it wouldn't work inside the Secret Realms and Treasure Lands, including the Elemental Source Land.

Some might think that they could use the Teleportation Token to directly leave the Elemental Source Land; however, they couldn't.

Forget about the Teleportation Token; they cannot even use the Heavenly Escape Talisman to directly leave the Elemental Source Land because of the barrier of the Source Land.

If not for the barrier, the Quasi-Divine Realm Cultivators would have already forced their way into the Elemental Source Land.

'With this Teleportation Token, you can enter the Greater World of my Iron Mountain Sect.'

Thorne asked Ajax to visit his Iron Mountain Sect after he left the Elemental Source Land.

'I will definitely go and find you.'

Ajax smiled and kept the token away.

'All the best, Brother Ajax.'

After thanking Ajax and Nyra once again, Thorne and his team prepared to leave the Elemental Source Land.

"We want to leave the Elemental Source Land."

Without wasting any time, Thorne and his team shouted out loud.

'Swish!'

'Swish!'

In the next second, a streak of light enveloped the four of them, and they disappeared from the sky.

Ajax watched them leave before shifting his attention to Nyra.

'They didn't lose their Elemental Spirits.'

Without even asking, Nyra knew what Ajax wanted to know. So, she replied, saying that Thorne's team had left safely without losing their Elemental Spirits.

'So, the mastermind can't take the Elemental Spirits of the participants who are willingly leaving the Elemental Source Land.'

With that confirmation, Ajax's confidence increased in dealing with the mastermind controlling the Elemental Source Land.

'Brother Ajax, I think I'll leave the Elemental Source Land as well.'

Hearing that, Ajax was not surprised because he was expecting that.

It is a fact that her battle prowess was the weakest among all the participants in the Elemental Source Land.

Moreover, Nyra had already collected enough Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals to satisfy her immediate needs.

Since she had no particular reason to risk losing her Elemental Spirits, she decided to leave too.

'Nyra, thank you for not revealing this information to the other participants.'

It was Ajax who had asked Nyra not to reveal the information to other participants, and he thanked her for that.

He knew that Nyra made her living by selling information. Therefore, he had asked her not to spread the news about the eliminated participants.

'It's not a big deal, Brother Ajax.'

Nyra shook her head slightly.

'Even if I had revealed it, I doubt many participants would have believed me. After all, the consequences are too terrifying to imagine.'

She shook her head, concluding that it was not a big deal.

'It's a big deal.'

However, Ajax didn't agree with her.

Even though Ajax personally didn't know much about Nyra, he had heard a few things from Thorne.

According to him, Nyra is widely known for selling only the correct information.

With such brand value, if she revealed the danger of the Elemental Source Land, there would be at least a dozen participants who would believe her.

These participants, upon confirming that the eliminated participants indeed lost their Elemental Spirits, would be eternally grateful to Nyra and would generously pay her for her valuable information.

'If you say it's a big deal, why don't you give me the Divine Elemental Potion?'

Nyra jokingly asked for the Divine Elemental Potion that Ajax had.

'That's right!'

To her surprise, Ajax really tossed her the Divine Elemental Potion.

'T-this….this is too valuable.'

Although Nyra really wanted to take this, she had always believed that she should not be greedy, as it might lead to unnecessary consequences.

'It is indeed valuable. So, after I leave the Elemental Source Land, I will need your help with some things.'

Ajax didn't take it back; instead, he said it was an advance for the services he would need in the future.

Since Ajax was completely new to this Universe, hiring someone like Nyra, who was in the information business, would be of great help to him.

'Alright then.'

Nyra kept the Divine Elemental Potion and added, 'You can contact me with this communication talisman.'

Soon, a talisman appeared in Ajax's hand, and with that, Nyra also left the Elemental Source Land.

Soon, Ajax was left standing alone among the remaining participants.

He looked around and noticed that almost everyone had decided to stay.

'It seems no one else wants to leave.'

Ajax wasn't particularly surprised.

After all, the rewards offered by the Elemental Source Land were simply too tempting for most cultivators to abandon.

Just then, the Ancient Voice resounded once again.

[The participants who wish to leave have been permitted to do so.]

[Now, we shall begin the Second Round!]

Ajax's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to the announcement.

'Let's see what you have prepared for us this time.'
