Land of Chaos.
The night fell, the sky was dark, yet the colorful sky still emitted magnificent light, not concealed by the night.
At this mont, almost all the human squads had arrived at the destination. The group of over three thousand was not gathered together but was scattered in different locations based on their strength.
Because no one knew exactly when the key would appear or where it would show up, they had to be ready at all tis.
In the night, the battle that had lasted all day did not cease. Instead, it showed signs of intensifying.
Under the cover of the demon beasts’ roars, the sounds of battle and shouts echoed continuously in the forest.
In a core position, Yang Qing and more than thirty others sat quietly around a bonfire.
At this mont, they were located in the most central area, directly beneath the colorful sky, the region where the key was most likely to appear.
Their position was less than a hundred ters from Hai Xiu and the others.
Around them, bodies were scattered everywhere, human and alien alike, and the air was filled with the pungent sll of blood.
Nearby, a massive advanced demon beast lay lifeless on the ground, as two youths moved around, slicing off the essence parts of the beast’s body and skewering them on bamboo sticks to make kebabs.
In the night, the bonfire flickered, accompanied by the enticing sizzling sound of fat, and amidst the sll of blood, a rich aroma of roasted at spread out, forming a strange scent.
While other teams fought desperately, Yang Qing and his group began to have dinner.
In the distance, a series of screams echoed, as so of them looked hundreds of ters away where a human squad was fighting an abnormal squad, with people constantly falling, silently watching without any intention of helping.
They had already fought twice to occupy this core position and even lost a king.
The hundreds of corpses piled around them were enough to prove the brutality of the battle.
They restrained themselves from taking action because the key had not appeared yet.
If they made a move, the chaos could lead to a high probability of falling.
Even if they remained unhard, it would consu soul power and physical strength, and in the end, they might be assassinated by other abnormal people.
At this mont, most of the alien geniuses and kings also did not make a move, so they couldn’t either.
"These damned bastards!"
Listening to the screams, a fat old man seed unable to bear it, angrily throwing down his roasted at, stood up, and wanted to rush in to join the battle, but was promptly held back by his nearby companion, signifying for him to calm down.
"Brother Chen, calm down a bit, rushing in won’t help!"
"Calm down, my ass, if I can kill one, it’s worth it!"
The fat old man was not listening, struggling to join the battle.
Yang Qing ate his kebab, quietly watching the scene with a calm gaze.
Compared to others, he was much calr.
He had participated in nurous key quests.
And he possessed a key, a high-level nine-star key, thus deeply understanding the harshness of key quests.
His acquisition of the key, besides his strength being strong enough, was also largely related to the support of his family.
This key acquisition had cost the lives of over a hundred clan mbers.
"Alright, calm down a bit, how many people can you kill in a suppressed strength state? As a king, don’t get yourself killed by a few piece of trash, that would be truly shaful and not worth it!"
A man said impatiently while eating a kebab.
"Are we just going to sit here and watch like this?"
The fat old man asked, suppressing his anger.
"The key might appear tomorrow, you will have the opportunity to make a move, there’s no need to rush.’
The man said, his tone filled with disdain. Just as the old man was about to retort, soone said, "Jue Tian hasn’t appeared yet, he might be hiding nearby!"
Perhaps hearing the na Jue Tian, the old man’s face slightly changed, quickly calming down.
No one dared to ignore an alien prodigy who could sever the arm of the extraordinary powerhouse Hong Tao, making him flee.
The lifebound demon spirit of Jue Tian, the Night Demon, ranked 18th on the Earth Chart, was a divine level demon spirit most suitable for assassins.
No one wanted to encounter him at night.
"Why haven’t Lin Feng and the others arrived yet?" Soone looked around, asking in confusion.
Although reluctant to admit, in the Land of Chaos, the strength of these young prodigies was not much weaker than theirs.
They are one of the keys to this key quest.
"Don’t know, acting like they’ve gone mad with killing."
....
Two kiloters away from the main forces, deep in the forest, a series of footsteps suddenly echoed, as a group of seven figures swiftly shuttled through the jungle.
This group looked sowhat battered, with many of them injured, yet it did not affect their speed, moving quickly between running and flying.
In their rapid breathing, they constantly glanced at their surroundings and behind them, eyes filled with terror, as if so ancient beast was pursuing them in the darkness.
"Speed up, the main forces are just ahead."
Soone shouted loudly, speaking in alien language, evidently, this was an alien squad.
They had seen the firelight ahead, with a hint of joy on their faces.
As long as they held on a little longer, they would have companion support, the Lin Feng squad, regardless of their strength, certainly wouldn’t dare get close.
The firelight ahead seed like hope, invigorating them, who were originally exhausted, having been chased all the way, their original squad of thirty-seven was now down to seven.
The Lin Feng squad behind them, like demons, slaughtered them madly.
"Ah!"
Just after the voice fell, suddenly, a teammate flying in the air let out a shrill scream, accompanied by a sound like flowing water, then with a "bang", the screams abruptly halted.
The group stopped abruptly, expressions of terror as they looked at the decapitated corpse on the ground, the scene extrely bloody, chilling their hearts.
"It’s spider silk!"
Following the position three ters above the corpse, the group discovered a thread of spider silk connecting the trees.
In the dark, this spider silk was hard to notice even at close range.
This taut spider silk, though slender, was tougher than steel, and if not discovered during a run, the consequences would be dire.
The fate of their comrade filled the remaining aliens with fear, making them want to flee. However, not far away, a dark figure was moving silently between the trees, sotis attaching to the trees with its feet like a giant spider.
In the moonlight, they realized the passage ahead was surrounded by spider silk.
And as they stopped, on the ground, in the tree branches, and in the air, figures appeared one after another.
These figures seed like grim reapers, bringing despair to their hearts, yet they still put up a fierce resistance.
After a few screams, everything returned to silence.
"Soone’s coming."
On the branch, Lin Feng looked coldly at the approaching figures in the distance.
From morning to night, he didn’t feel tired, instead, he was getting into better condition.
Lin Feng couldn’t determine how many abnormal squads he had encountered or how many abnormal people he had killed.
He only knew there were no more abnormal people on the outside, and his martial arts realm had already broken through to the high rank of seventh grade.
The power from the sacrifice not only tempered his body but also helped him clear nine ridians in one day. The Dragon Fish had also grown a lot, but advancing, breaking through the seven-tier, wasn’t easy.
While happy about the strength improvent, Lin Feng worried about the Nightmare, which also grew stronger, and its growth was even faster than the Dragon Fish.
This feeding-back power was sothing he couldn’t control either.
"I’m about to break through!"
Beside him, in a demon transformation state, Zhan Tianyu, over two ters three tall, with a pitch-black body and eerie patterns, and six arms, looked like an evil demon god.
Continuous slaughter gave his eyes a bloodthirsty glow.
The pleasure of quickly enhancing his power made him reluctant to stop.
At this mont, he was already at the peak of sixth grade, just a step away from breaking through to seventh grade.
The Six-ard Celestial Demon he refined had no wings, but breaking through to seventh grade, he could condense spiritual power wings, possessing the ability to fly.
"Continue?" Zhan Tianyu asked.
At this point, the straight-line distance to the main forces was less than two kiloters, if a battle occurred, it might trigger a large-scale battle, possibly getting overwheld.
"Continue!"
Lin Feng looked at the approaching teams, speaking indifferently.
So many sacrifices, such an opportunity, might be the only ti.
Two kiloters away, there were quite a few alien kings.
No matter how many pawns die, it doesn’t matter, but if a king falls, any force would be heartbroken.
Even though over a thousand abnormals were slain, they hadn’t yet killed a king.
The power feedback from a king’s death was highly anticipated by everyone.
As they awaited the prey to arrive, no one noticed, along the road, a figure quietly followed them like a ghost, gradually closing in.
