Lane felt a bit annoyed upon hearing Macbeth's words and frowned, saying, "Do you think the Fossil of Creation is safer in your hands than in mine?"
"Hmph, that's hard to say. Since players were able to sneak into Novice Village No. 001, how can I trust you people?" Macbeth's expression was cold, clearly not believing this old fellow.
"Fine. If it gets lost while in your hands, it has nothing to do with me." Lane took out a black jade the size of a thumb from his bosom, which was emanating a strange energy.
He stared at the black jade with an almost obsessive expression.
The Fossil of Creation was not only of great use to human players, but they could also make use of it.
However, this Fossil of Creation was bestowed upon humans, and he didn't dare to use it casually.
So this was indeed the Fossil of Creation!
Johnnie, who was hiding in the shadows, stared at this small piece of jade, held his breath, and slowly approached.
"Macbeth, don't forget the deal between us." Lane gritted his teeth and handed the jade to Macbeth.
Huh?
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. Sensing something, a staff appeared in his hand, and the spike at the end stabbed towards his side.
Thud!
Blood sprayed as a damage counter flashed above his head.
-1103
Johnnie's figure emerged, and he was startled.
His current health points were only 1250. This old man's strike almost killed him in one blow.
Ignoring the danger, he snatched the Fossil of Creation and leaped backward.
"Johnnie!" Macbeth exclaimed in surprise. Recognizing him, he said angrily, "So you are here. Attack!"
At his command, countless players rushed over from around and surrounded Johnnie tightly.
"Lord Macbeth, thank you for the Fossil of Creation!" Johnnie was not afraid at all. He sneered coldly, put away the Fossil of Creation, and the Blue Steel Sword appeared in his hand. He unleashed the Sword Shock skill and instantly killed a knight who came up to surround him.
These guys were only at about stage 1, Level 5 and couldn't stop him at all.
He immediately rushed towards the outside of the Novice Village.
"Damn it, stop him!" Macbeth was enraged. The Fossil of Creation was extremely important to him and must not be lost.
Whoosh!
Arrows shot out and fireballs whistled as they crashed towards Johnnie.

...
Damage numbers flashed one after another. These guys barely managed to break through his defense.
"Hmph, a mere ant dares to act wildly in front of me." Lane also reacted and said coldly. He waved the staff in his hand, and skeletons crawled out from the ground. They were eerie and ferocious as they pounced towards Johnnie.
He was a Necromancer at stage 2, Level 10 and the skeleton monsters he summoned were stronger than those in the Novice Village. The weakest among them was a Skeleton Warrior at stage 1, Level 10.
The weak skeleton monsters wandering in the Novice Village also swarmed over continuously, directly submerging Johnnie's figure.
However, he was not afraid at all. He used his exquisite footwork to dodge the attacks of those powerful Skeleton Warriors, killed the players and the weak skeleton monsters, and increased the passive ability of the Great Transformation Sword Technique.
One by one, the players and skeleton monsters were mercilessly slaughtered by him.
"He is indeed powerful!" Macbeth, who was hiding in the distance, was shocked in his heart.
He had watched the videos of Johnnie's battles.
But now, Johnnie's performance was even stronger than before. His strength had increased incredibly rapidly.
The intention to recruit him rose in Macbeth's heart again, and he said, "Johnnie, I'll give you another chance. Hand over the Fossil of Creation." Join the Apocalypse Group, and I'll spare your life."
"Old man, it's still uncertain who will live and who will die. Do you think I don't know about your conspiracy?" Johnnie sneered with disdain, and his hands didn't pause for a moment as he wildly massacred the surrounding players.
"Hmm? Who are you?" Macbeth frowned. He felt that Johnnie seemed to know some secrets.
"Village Chief Lane, we can't let this guy leave the Novice Village. Kill him and get the Fossil of Creation to drop." He had completely developed the intention to kill.
No one who knew the secrets of the Apocalypse Group should be allowed to survive.
"Don't worry. This little fellow won't be able to escape." Lane scoffed. He was too lazy to make a move himself and kept summoning skeleton monsters to besiege Johnnie.
Grunts...
The low growls echoed, and Johnnie felt a great deal of pressure. He had slaughtered all the surrounding players. The attack speed and damage of the Great Transformation Sword Technique had increased by more than double, but he still had difficulty fighting against the surrounding skeleton monsters.
He didn't dare to get entangled with these creatures and tried to break through towards the outside of the Novice Village.
"Little fellow, give up struggling. You're no match for me at all." Lane scoffed and directed the skeleton monsters to firmly block his escape route.
-37
-34
...
Damage numbers flashed above Johnnie's head. Among these skeleton monsters, there were also powerful Skeleton Archers and Skeleton Mages, which posed a considerable threat to him.
Fortunately, he had leveled up and broken through to stage 2, Level 1. Coupled with the tenfold health regeneration, he was not in immediate danger for the moment.
His expression was solemn, and the sword techniques in his hands became even more fierce. One by one, the skeleton monsters were cut down by him, and there were piles of dry bones all around.
"Lane, is his strength getting stronger?" Macbeth noticed something strange and frowned deeply.
"Hmm?" Lane also reacted and exclaimed in surprise, "The Great Transformation Sword Technique! Kid, you're from Novice Village No.103. Wood actually gave you the Great Transformation Sword Technique!"
His expression was filled with anger, and it turned out that he knew the old village chief of the Novice Village where Johnnie came from.
"It seems that I definitely can't let you leave alive!" His expression was cold as he murmured to himself. He waved his staff and conjured up a summoning formation.
"Come out, Dark Warrior!" He gave a soft shout. Black mist churned within the formation, and an evil aura filled the air. Two tall Skeleton Knights emerged.
They were Dark Warriors at stage 2, Level 10 elite bosses!
The fact that this old man could summon elite bosses indicated that his strength was probably even more formidable.
Johnnie's expression changed slightly. He was definitely no match for these two elite bosses at the moment.
He had to break out of the Novice Village!
He gritted his teeth, endured the arrows and fireballs that came flying at him, attacked the Skeleton monsters blocking his way, and rushed towards the outside of the Novice Village.
"Hmph, kid, you can't escape from my grasp. Attack!" Lane scoffed. With a command, the Dark Warrior brandished its long sword, and directly sent the Skeleton monsters in front of it flying, charging towards Johnnie.
Boom!
-540
With a single slash, a damage number flashed above Johnnie's head, and he directly lost more than five hundred health points.
This was just a normal attack from the Dark Warrior.
Johnnie was terrified and leaped backward. He quickly broke through the encirclement of the skeleton monsters and had already reached the outside of the Novice Village.
Whoosh...
But at this moment, a strong wind howled from behind, and the attack of the other Dark Warrior landed.
Puff!
-582
Johnnie's health points were directly depleted, and he turned into a beam of white light.
"Hurry up, block the respawn point. We must make the Fossil of Creation on him drop!" Macbeth didn't see the item drop and quickly reminded.
Lane immediately directed the Skeleton monsters to surround and block the respawn point.
But at this moment, a flash of light appeared, and Johnnie's figure emerged, respawning in place.
"Hmm? The Resurrection Ring!" Lane exclaimed in surprise and said angrily, "Wood really takes good care of you."
"Lane, Macbeth, the next time we meet, you will surely die!" After respawning, Johnnie didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. Taking advantage of the moment when the Skeleton monsters dispersed, he quickly rushed towards the outside of the Novice Village.
"Hurry up and stop him!" Macbeth was greatly alarmed and immediately directed the surrounding players to intercept him.
But these guys were no match for Johnnie at all. A cold light flashed, and with one strike, he killed them instantly.
Lane also reacted and commanded the Dark Warriors to pursue closely.
However, Johnnie had already fled into the mountain forest. He exerted his movement technique to the fullest extent and deliberately attracted the monsters wandering outside the Novice Village to block the pursuing Skeleton monsters.
In the mountain forest, goblins and half-orcs were alarmed and besieged the suddenly appearing Skeleton monsters.
Johnnie seized the opportunity and quickly fled towards the outside of the Novice Village.
"You despicable human, you won't be able to escape." With an angry roar, Lane's figure appeared, and he closely pursued Johnnie.
Johnnie had already fled into the territory of the werewolves and attracted the werewolves to block this guy.
But he was a Necromancer at stage 2, Level 10 with terrifying strength. These weak werewolves were no match for him at all. The power of darkness surged, and the black mist churned and spread.
[Ding, you are being corroded by darkness and losing 100 health points per second.]
-100
-100
...
Damage numbers flashed above Johnnie's head. This turned out to be a skill that caused continuous loss of health.
Around him, one by one, the werewolves were eroded by the black mist, and their health points were instantly depleted, resulting in their deaths.
But Johnnie was not afraid at all. Under the blessing of the Goddess of Life, with tenfold health regeneration, he could recover 10% of his health points, which was 125 points, per second.
This erosion by the black mist posed no threat to him at all.
Soon, he reached the barrier. With a flash of his figure, he easily passed through it.
Whoosh...
The mist surged, like an invisible barrier, blocking the black mist behind him.
Lane was also blocked by the barrier. He stared at Johnnie with an angry and unwilling expression.
"Old man, it seems you're not that great after all." Johnnie looked smug, playing with the Fossil of Creation in his hand and staring at Lane provocatively.
At this moment, Macbeth also caught up. Standing behind the barrier, he said coldly, "Human, going against me will lead to no good end. Hand over the Fossil of Creation, and I can spare your life."
"Hmph, I'm willing to take a gamble." Johnnie scoffed, too lazy to get entangled with these two. He put away the Fossil of Creation and turned to leave.
Now that he had the Fossil of Creation, his strength could be integrated with reality, and he wasn't afraid of the Apocalypse Group at all.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to use it. At the very least, he would wait until he changed his class to Sword Immortal. After his strength increased, he would then use this Fossil of Creation.
