Along the way, the originally oppressive atmosphere became even more oppressive due to the slaughter that had occurred earlier.
No one was in the mood to chat and laugh. While they were silent, their expressions revealed their confusion.
In the end, they were all young men and women who had just graduated. They were still young, and they did not have any deep hatred for the other races.
At this moment, the eyes of some of the more fragile girls were red, and their voices were choked with sobs. They could not forget the struggle and pain that had remained in their eyes when the other races had died.
The cries and screams of the children seemed to echo in their ears.
Although they didn't do anything to the non-human children, they killed their parents!
They had made those children orphans!
Had they become cold-blooded executioners?
In many people's eyes, this was not the martial path that they wanted.
Many people began to doubt themselves.
This included Dong Xiaomei and Yue Mingming.
Both of them had confused expressions. Yunkai was still alright, and he appeared relatively calm compared to the other two. However, his mood had also been affected.
Only Yu Qiao remained calm. When he saw Linfeng's indifferent expression and that he did not say a word, he looked at the three people who had fallen silent. He deliberately revealed a disdainful expression and laughed.
"You bunch of rookies are already in your third year. Don't tell me that you haven't killed a foreign race before?"
"Don't think too highly of yourself. Xia Ming's side is a good example."
"The Shenwu Continent is forcefully merging with Earth. The goal of the foreign races is to invade, and there is no room for compromise. If there comes a day when your friends and family die in front of you, you will no longer have such childish compassion."
Yu Qiao spoke a lot. He had originally intended to persuade them, but unknowingly, his expression had become nostalgic and sorrowful, as well as an unforgettable hatred. However, these emotions quickly disappeared.
Those who had never experienced such hatred would not be able to understand it.
Dong Xiaomei and the other two did not refute Yu Qiao's mockery. They just looked at each other and remained silent.
Yu Qiao did not intend to continue persuading them.
They were all adults.
They all understood the logic, but it was difficult for them to accept it.
If they could not accept it, then it was better to end their martial path early so that they would not be a burden to their teammates.
In the group of adventurers, there was a young girl in black sportswear who was around 23 or 24 years old. She stood in the center of the group and was silently observing them under the protection of four figures.
From time to time, her gaze would stop beside Lin Feng.
"This Lin Feng is too calm!"
A trace of doubt flashed through her eyes.
This time, Linfeng had the best performance. He had killed the most outsiders, and his face was the calmest. His black eyes didn't seem to show any emotion.
If there were no accidents, he would receive the highest evaluation in this preliminary round.
As the observer for this preliminary round, not only did she need to record everything that happened in the preliminary round, she also needed to record every member's performance.
For example, the people who had withdrawn from the competition earlier, other than those who were injured, it was almost impossible for the rest to be put in an important position.
There were very few exceptions.
It was even more impossible for these people to enter the military and political system.
The benevolence of these people could very well become a member of the New World in the future. Even if it wasn't absolute, the higher-ups wouldn't take the risk.
The oppressive atmosphere did not last for long. His self-doubt also disappeared without a trace in the dark streets, under the various malicious gazes.
In the territory of the Outsiders, one had to be vigilant at all times.
If they were not careful, they would pay the price of death.
They didn't have time to be emotional.
Along the way, all kinds of sneak attacks and assassination methods emerged one after another. Other than two unlucky fellows who had mysteriously disappeared near the periphery, there were no casualties.
Although there were more people and it was safer, it was also because of this that the target was too big and it was impossible to hide.
The only consolation was that Linfeng's archery skills never missed, which made the Outsiders extremely wary.
Those who sneak attacked couldn't escape Linfeng's arrows.
After a few attempts, the Outsiders gradually began to give up.
"The Outsiders' geniuses are still not making a move. Are they waiting for the right time?"
Looking at the shadows disappearing at the corner of the street, Linfeng thought to himself.
These sneak attackers were all Outsiders in their thirties and forties. Although they were strong, with many of them reaching the peak of the Sixth Stage, it was obvious that the demon spirits they refined were not of high ranks. Their soul skills were also very ordinary. Almost all of them were of the Bronze and Silver rank. Even the Gold rank soul skills were rare.
It seemed that the Outsiders were planning to wait for a large group to enter the secret realm and then defeat them one by one.
At around one o 'clock in the afternoon, after a simple meal of prepared rations, Linfeng's group encountered a group of thirty to forty people.
This group was a little special. Their average height was no more than 1.3 meters, and they looked like dwarves. Their heads were large, and their eyes were large and pitch-black. Their limbs were short, and their skin was brown.
"The Earthwalker Tribe."
Dong Xiaomei was surprised.
This was the first time she had encountered the Earthwalker Tribe.
The Earthwalkers were also known as the Goblins by humans.
Shenwu Continent had many mysterious races.
There were three major races: the Outsiders, the Devils, and the Earthwalkers.
The Outsiders had the largest population, numbering in the tens of billions, and their overall strength was the strongest.
However, the Devils were different from the Demonbeasts.
The Devils were the descendants of emperor-grade Demonbeasts, and they could transform into humans. Of the three major races, they were ranked second in strength and had the fewest members, numbering less than a million.
However, the Devils were good at fighting, and their difference in strength gave them the ability to control other Demonbeasts. Even the Outsiders did not dare to provoke them.
The Earthwalkers numbered over a billion, and they were the weakest of the three major races. On Shenwu Continent, the Earthwalkers had their own country and city.
However, they preferred to live underground, just like their ancestors had.
When they saw Lin Feng's group pass by, this special group looked over with vigilant eyes and slightly tightened their grip on their weapons.
However, they did not make a move.
Although there were many Earthwalkers, they were not very strong, and they were often bullied on Shenwu Continent.
They were good-natured and did not like to fight, so they were considered a neutral race.
"Are they also planning to enter the spirit power pool?"
Lin Feng's eyes scanned the Earthly Tribe and then stopped on two Earthly Walkers.
These two Earthwalkers were a man and a woman, and they were about 1.2 to 1.3 meters tall. They did not look very old, and Lu Yin estimated that they were about 16 years old.
These two Earthwalkers were in the center of the group, and they were surrounded by the other Earthwalkers. They looked at the uninvited guests in front of them with curiosity and fear.
"Brother, it's a human!"
Gurman whispered to her brother beside her.
At this moment, she was hiding behind her brother, and her big round eyes were filled with curiosity and fear. This was the first time she had seen a human, and there were so many of them.
"Don't speak, and don't look at them. These are all geniuses from the human race, and we are not their match."
As the older brother, Gurman whispered to his younger sister.
Although the Earthwalkers were neutral, that did not mean that they maintained a friendly relationship with the human race.
Being neutral and being friendly were two different concepts.
This was because the Earthwalkers were the weakest of the three major races, and they were often bullied by the other races.
Although they were not slaves, they still had to pay tribute to the other races every year.
Sometimes, under the threat of the other races, the Earthwalkers would join in the battle against the humans. Furthermore, there were times when the humans did not care what kind of neutral race you were. If you encountered them, it would be difficult for you to escape.
Fortunately, the group in front of them had the same goal as them, which was to enter the secret realm. Thus, they should not attack.
Lin Feng's group did not stop under the cautious gazes of the Earthwalkers. Two hours later, they finally arrived at their destination.
This was a place that looked a little desolate, like a wasteland.
At the center of the ruins was a huge transparent barrier that was like a barrier that covered an area of a few kilometers.
Under the sunlight, the barrier reflected a sparkling light, but it was impossible to see what was inside.
"We're finally here."
Lin Feng slowly stopped in his tracks.
According to the records, although this place looked desolate, it was once the land of a flourishing sect.
Lin Feng did not observe carefully. His attention was attracted by the many figures outside the barrier.
There were at least three hundred of them.
Seeing Lin Feng's group arrive, these Earthwalkers, who were chatting and laughing, looked at them with cold and murderous eyes.
"They're all here …"
Lin Feng looked around and saw a group of young men at the center looking at them with playful eyes.
One of them was an old acquaintance of Lin Feng's.
Hai Wei!
After not seeing him for two years, Lin Feng recognized him at a glance.
Other than growing a little taller, he did not change much. Beside Hai Wei, there was an even more muscular red-haired young man who attracted Lin Feng's attention.
Hai Wei was already very tall, but in front of this young man, he was still a little short.
The young man was topless and had a rough face. He held a large saber in his hand and looked very domineering. From this young man, Lin Feng felt a fiery and violent aura.
Tian Qing!
It was hard not to recognize this peerless genius of the Earthwalkers.
Like Yunkai, he had the talent of Atavistic Demon Transformation.
Back then, it was through Tian Qing that the human race knew what Atavistic Demon Transformation was.
The Earthwalkers had been keeping it a secret. If it wasn't for him telling them, this secret would only be known after seven or eight years.
Beside Tian Qing stood a long-haired young lady.
The young lady looked to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old. She had a slender figure and wore a yellow dress. She looked gentle and quiet.
"Huang Ying!"
Lin Feng's eyes were a little serious.
This young lady did not look strong and looked harmless. However, she had refined a six-tailed fox on the Earth Leaderboard. This demon spirit was ranked 15th on the Earth Leaderboard. This demon spirit's talent was called Dreamland. It was a type of illusion that could cause people to unknowingly fall into a dream and be unable to wake up.
She was a rare Soul Sorcerer and was much harder to deal with than a Mental Energy Sorcerer.
She had the ability to kill people without them noticing.
In Lin Feng's opinion, this young lady was even more dangerous than Hai Wei.
He had the King of Nightmares in his body and had a strong resistance against mental attacks and illusions. Lin Feng was not worried about illusions. However, the others would be in danger.
The figures standing beside Hai Wei and Tian Qing were not simple characters either.
Leng Xue, Xue Ying …
Every one of them was a top expert among the younger generation of the Earthwalkers.
Tian Qing was not bothered by Lin Feng's gaze. He only glanced at Lin Feng slightly before his gaze stopped on Yunkai. It was as if he was interested in him.
Yunkai also felt the gaze as if he was looking at prey. He was no stranger to this genius from the Earthwalkers who had the same talent as him.
Their gazes met quickly. One was as sharp as a sword while the other was as violent as a volcano. Neither of them avoided the other.
"Interesting!"
Tian Qing's expression changed slightly as his lips curled into an amused smile.
Few people dared to look him in the eye. This time, there were two of them.
"Peak Grade Six!"
Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a trace of seriousness.
Hai Wei and Tian Qing had both reached Peak Grade Six.
The Divine Fist Realm could release spiritual power and perform the Hundred Step Divine Fist. They were obviously stronger than them.
Their only advantage was that they were stronger as a whole.
After all, they had gathered all the geniuses in the country. Compared to the Earthwalkers, although there were more of them, their overall strength was not much different.
If they did not want both sides to suffer, no one dared to start a fight.
"There are so many people from the Earthwalkers!"
Yu Qiao's expression was gloomy. "More than half of them are over 30 years old. They are not qualified to undergo the Spiritual Power Baptism at such an age."
Seeing so many figures from the Earthwalkers, the battle teams were surprised and became more vigilant.
The youths from the Earthwalkers were obviously up to no good.
At this moment, many of them were already regretting their decision and wanted to retreat.
The atmosphere outside the barrier was extremely oppressive and suffocating.
The Earthwalkers and the Earthwalkers were at each other's throats. However, no one made a move. It was as if they were all waiting for the Arcane Land to open.
They waited in silence.
An hour later, as the earth trembled, the barrier that was originally enveloping the Arcane Land gradually disappeared. When the Arcane Land dissipated like a bubble, everyone began to rush into the Arcane Land.
"Be careful of sneak attacks."
Lin Feng reminded them as he looked at Hai Wei and the others in the distance.
They were not in a hurry to enter the Arcane Land. Instead, they looked at Lin Feng and the others with interest in their cold eyes as if they were looking at prey.
