Chapter 166 Zhou Kai, well done, I will definitely keep my word.
not good!
It's a trap!
"Back up! Everyone back up!"
The Shield Warrior Captain let out a roar, and several defensive skills instantly lit up around his body, leaving no stone unturned.
However, it was all too late.
Om-!
Darkness, came alive.
The next instant, a piercing, distorted scream suddenly erupted from the middle of the line.
The sound was not human; it was more like a throat being ripped open.
"Who?! Who's playing tricks on us?!"
Captain Shield's heart nearly leaped out of his chest. He forcibly suppressed his instinct to turn and run, roaring to bolster his courage.
The response he received was a second tone.
Third tone.
The tenth tone...
The screams, one after another, were like firecrackers of flesh and blood exploding one after another, echoing irregularly in the hundred-meter-long dark procession!
They might come from your left.
It could also come from the back you're pressing against.
"My legs! My legs are gone!"
"Help me! Something grabbed my hand! It's twisting—ah!!"
"Don't come any closer! Get away! Get away!"
In absolute darkness, where you can't see your hand in front of your face and even your senses are completely suppressed, this kind of attack from an unseen enemy is the ultimate terror that can drive a person insane!
puff!
Captain Shield felt a chill on his ankle as an irresistible force gripped him tightly.
Those steel calves, strong enough to support shields weighing hundreds of kilograms, were as if they were being bitten hard by an invisible giant mouth, and then twisted violently!
Click!
The crisp sound of bones shattering clearly pierced his own ears.
A sharp pain shot through his brain, and he could no longer stand. His heavy body collapsed to his knees.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack—!"
He roared with the last of his strength.
The next second, a cold, sharp claw made entirely of shadow silently emerged from the shadows beneath his feet.
It pierced his throat with precision.
The claws did not sever his neck.
They simply destroyed his vocal cords, turning him into a fleshy bellows that could only produce a "ho...ho..." sound.
Within the Shadow Realm.
【Touch of a Thousand Shadows】Activated.
This was the welcoming ceremony that Chen Yifan had meticulously prepared for all the greedy "guests".
Hundreds and thousands of dark shadow hands, like tentacles reaching out from hell, are staging a silent hunt in this cave swallowed by darkness.
Their goals are so clear it's appalling.
It does not attack the heart.
It does not attack the head.
It only attacks the limbs, joints, and non-lethal parts of the torso.
I'll break your legs so you can't run away.
I'll break your hand so you can't use your skills.
It pierces your abdomen, causing you to bleed to the last drop of blood in excruciating pain, yet you cannot find immediate relief.
In just half a minute.
Of the first hundred people to enter the cave, not a single one was able to stand.
This is no longer a battlefield.
This is a living hell filled with writhing, wailing, and struggling creatures on the ground.
The thick stench of blood mixed with desperate cries fermented in the deathly darkness, transforming into the ultimate horror.
Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu stood side by side.
They stared into the darkness ahead, at the pairs of eyes twisted with fear, and listened to the inhuman screams, their faces drained of all color.
"Fan... Brother Fan..."
Wang Fugui's hand, gripping the battle axe, trembled uncontrollably.
The scene before him completely overturned his entire understanding of the word "battle".
This is not a fight.
This is... a massacre.
"Scared?"
Chen Yifan's voice rang out behind them, still calm and undisturbed.
"I...I didn't!"
Wang Fugui suddenly straightened his back, and a fierce glint flashed across his honest face, as if he had been driven to the brink of despair.
"These people came in to rob us, to kill us! I understand!"
He just... hadn't quite gotten used to the slaughterhouse-like atmosphere yet.
Chen Yifan's gaze fell on the person beside him.
The girl who remained silent throughout, but whose body trembled slightly.
"Xiaoyu?"
Lin Xiaoyu raised her head, and on her pale face, there was no fear, only a heartbreaking determination.
She did not speak.
She simply reached out her little hand and gripped Chen Yifan's clothes even tighter.
The meaning is obvious.
I'll follow you no matter what you do.
"very good."
Chen Yifan nodded.
His gaze passed over the two men and landed on the "prey" writhing on the ground, completely incapacitated.
"Go."
His voice was devoid of any emotion.
"Right now, they're just points."
"Use their greed to pave a road to Wuhan University in Longdu for the two of you."
"Remember, there is no mercy in the rules of the college entrance examination."
Wang Fugui took a deep breath, and the last trace of hesitation in his eyes was completely crushed.
He carried his battle axe and began to walk with heavy steps.
Like an executioner walking towards the execution ground for the first time, he willingly stepped into that place of wailing and darkness.
Behind him, Lin Xiaoyu followed silently, the scarlet vines spreading silently beneath her feet like flowing blood.
……
Outside the cave, there was a great commotion of voices.
Thousands of candidates waited anxiously, each staring intently at the score panel.
Zhou Kai stood at the forefront, listening to the faint screams coming from the depths of the cave, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
His confidant whispered:
"Brother Kai, it looks like the fighting inside is fierce! The first team probably suffered heavy casualties."
"Hmph, just as I expected."
Zhou Kai's eyes shone with a confident, masterful gaze.
"That recycling point must have a powerful guardian beast. Letting these cannon fodder consume its power is just right."
He has already made up his mind.
Wait a minute, send in another squad. When the guardian beast is exhausted and Chen Yifan has used up all his trump cards.
That's when Zhou Kai will go in and reap the rewards!
However, at that moment...
Suddenly, a thunderous roar of exclamations erupted from the crowd!
"Holy crap! It moved! The leaderboard moved!"
"It's gone up! It's gone up! Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu's points are skyrocketing!"
Zhou Kai felt a chill and abruptly opened the leaderboard.
The two names he had never paid any attention to were now soaring upwards at an unbelievable speed, as if they were on a rocket!
[99th Place: Wang Fugui (Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School) - Points: 95]
[98th Place: Lin Xiaoyu (Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School) - Points: 98]
……
[69th Place: Wang Fugui (Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School) - Points: 145]
[62nd Place: Lin Xiaoyu (Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School) - Points: 151]
……
[Third Place: Wang Fugui (Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School) - Points: 421]
[Second Place: Lin Xiaoyu (Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School) - Points: 423]
crazy!
Everyone has gone mad.
As they stared at the two wildly fluctuating numbers, the eyes of the thousands of examinees outside the cave instantly turned bloodshot.
"They've redeemed it! They've started redeeming points!"
"Damn it! Where are the top-tier players? A bunch of useless trash!"
"Could it be that Chen Yifan used some trick, sending our people to fight the guardian beast while he sneaked in to exchange for points?"
"We can't wait any longer! There's still over an hour left, and if we wait any longer we won't even get the soup!"
"Charge in! Whoever gets it first keeps it!"
Greed completely triumphed over reason.
The so-called "alliance" is as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of huge interests.
The crowd behind them began to surge forward frantically, trying to break through the defensive line formed by Zhou Kai and his confidants.
"Don't push! All of you, line up properly!"
Zhou Kai's confidants roared, but were instantly overwhelmed by the raging tide.
His face turned extremely ugly at that moment.
but……
As he looked at the two names on the leaderboard that had already surpassed his own, and then at the heavy material bag on his back, he realized...
An unprecedented surge of ecstasy gripped his heart.
Could it be... that the exclusive benefits Chen Yifan mentioned weren't only available to him?
This package of materials... doesn't that mean I can use it too?!
Just as he was overwhelmed by this huge surprise and hesitated whether to be the first to rush in,
A lazy voice drifted from the dark cave.
"Zhou Kai, well done..."
"Don't worry."
"I will never break my promise to you."
