Chapter 60: Caution for Oneself
Shivana and Alice had been silent for three minutes after reading the message.
Although they didn’t understand the meaning behind Enoch’s message, they could feel that he wanted to form an alliance from his words.
“If it’s an alliance, isn’t that a good thing?
“The Intermediate Energy Fruit from last time was simply too great. If we could form an alliance, wouldn’t we not have to worry about that fruit in the future?
“Moreover, even if his innate talent is class A, Enoch has cleared the first dungeon in the world. One can assume that his other two innate talents shouldn’t be bad either.
“If he has three class A innate talents, then it should be comparable to our class S innate talents, right!?”
Shivana was not against forming an alliance with Enoch.
One had to know that his Intermediate Energy Fruit really tasted amazing. Other than that, she was casually stating facts.
“Hmm…”
Alice pondered over it again upon hearing that.
Indeed!
She had not forgotten the taste of the Intermediate Energy Fruit that she had exchanged for the last time even till now.
Not only that but other than the taste of the fruit, there were also many benefits.
Just simply taking it to the trading market was an extremely precious trading item.
Taking a step back…
Enoch’s strength was still a mystery. He was the first to clear the dungeon in Maka Town, which naturally indicated that his strength was not weak.
Now, he had also defeated Netherworld’s third wave of invasion before the two of them. It could be seen just how terrifying his strength was!
“Perhaps, our understanding of him was a little too low.
“Enoch has at least an S-class talent and an A-class talent. If we calculate it this way, he is naturally stronger than us. Such a Divine Tree Master might be the one we need to form an alliance with the most.”
Alice kept guessing the other party’s words in her heart and gave a pertinent analysis. She felt that this matter was definitely not as simple as she thought.
Unfortunately, she could not analyze it any further.
“Then quickly reply to him. Just tell him that we just finished fighting. It’s not a good thing to make him wait.”
“Okay.”
Although Alice agreed verbally, there was no reaction from her hands.
After thinking about it repeatedly, she only then did she reply to the message.
Alice: “It has been a while since my third wave of invasion ended. I saw the message just now. What’s the matter?”
On the side, Shivana looked at Alice’s message and pouted with a mischievous expression. “Aren’t you lying?
“Hmph! You’re such a good person!”
Alice couldn’t help but get angry upon hearing Shivana’s words. She pointed at her head and growled, “This is an intelligence game now. Naturally, I can’t give the other party the most important piece of information. Moreover, I told him a while ago, meaning I am very strong and easily solved it.
“Once the alliance is involved, it’s possible that the other party will want to take the lead. Then, if I want to fight for the lead, what would I use to fight with him? Wouldn’t that be the time it took me, in which case he was faster!?”
Shivana couldn’t understand what the other party was saying at all and just answered casually, “Yes!”
“I have to show that I was faster than him. Since I was faster than him, wouldn’t that mean I am stronger than him? Don’t you understand this!?”
After Alice said that, Shivana suddenly felt like she understood the situation!
“Then tell Enoch that we dealt with the third Netherworld wave in five minutes! He’ll be even more surprised! Hahahaha!”
Alice covered her mouth upon hearing this, indicating that she didn’t want to lose face anymore.
“You’d better watch how I talk to him. As soon as I send a message to him, he’ll know that I’m lying. He can even calculate that I just dealt with the third wave.
“Forget it. You won’t understand even if I tell you so much. I’m too lazy to explain to you.”
“You’re right. I’d better think about what to do with those zombies.”
While speaking, Shivana wasn’t interested in any of this. After all, as long as she followed Alice, she believed that she could live forever in the Divine Tree Realm.
As for who to work with, she didn’t care at all.
At the same time…
Enoch finally received a message from Alice.
“It has been a while… I saw the message just now…”
Enoch looked at the message that was sent 20 minutes later, and his eyes darkened.
Enoch would definitely not doubt the invasion, or he would not have asked Alice.
Now was not the time.
Whether it had ended 20 minutes ago was a question.
20 minutes had passed since then. Not only had he not received a notification from the Divine Tree Realm, but he also had not encountered zombies again.
In other words, these 20 minutes had been very peaceful.
However, this was very disadvantageous for Enoch.
After all, he did not know how long he could last in this highly concentrated state. How long could the pets last?
In other words, the longer he waited, the more problematic it would be for Enoch.
However, now that he received this message, he could at least confirm one thing—his third wave of invasion was not over yet.
Alice had replied after such a long time. She had probably been dealing with corpses or other things because Enoch had the same habit.
This was a must for a cautious person, so the credibility of this information was at 80%.
The remaining 20% was the caution that Enoch had always left for himself!
No matter how long it took Alice to defeat the third wave, Enoch knew that the others had indeed dealt with their respective wave. Yet, he was still dealing with his third wave of invasion!
The timespan was at least an hour. From the first few zombies, there was only an endless waiting period.
The mystery was self-evident.
Naturally, someone or something was behind this!
In other words, this attack was premeditated and planned!
At that moment, Enoch made a hypothesis. There was a zombie outside that could control other zombies and had intelligence.
Then their actions were enough to turn the tables.
It was not uncommon for a good commander to be able to change the situation of a battle!
The zombies in this wave had checked Enoch and his party’s numbers, size, combat strength, and other information. In other words, they knew everything about Enoch.
The long wait was probably because the other side was preparing to do something.
