As night fell, the moonlight poured down like a veil. Tian Qing and a group of people sat together.
On the ground ten metres away, two demon beasts had their stomachs cut open. The smell of blood attracted the attention of many demon beasts in the darkness. However, sensing the strength of this group, they quickly retreated.
Someone used a dagger to cut the warm demon beast meat, then skewered it into skewers. The bonfire flickered, and the skewers were roasted in the light of the fire. Along with the aroma, the grease let out a tempting sizzling sound.
Everyone was eating the barbecued meat, but the atmosphere was a little dull. Even the chatter was deliberately lowered.
At this moment, there were people constantly joining the group. At the same time, they brought bad news.
Everyone's face was ugly. They instantly lost their appetite. It was as if their hearts were being pressed by something heavy, making it hard for them to breathe.
From the news that came, it was only a preliminary estimate. The confirmed death toll had already exceeded three hundred people.
There were also some that were not discovered, or were eaten by demon beasts, and died without a complete corpse.
If they were to calculate, there might be more than four hundred, or even five hundred.
Three hundred people wasn't a lot.
In the war between the foreign races and the human race in the Myriad World, millions of people from both sides died every year.
When a spatial gate was sealed, or when a key appeared, the death toll was always in the thousands.
However, these three hundred people were not ordinary. Their average age was no older than twenty-five.
Their purpose of entering the Imperial Jade Seal City was to be baptised in the Spiritual Energy Pond and fight for the Elemental Fruit. Those that were qualified were all outstanding geniuses. Among them, more than half of them refined high-grade demon beasts.
Among them, there was no lack of super geniuses that refined Earth Ranking demon beasts.
However, even such a super genius had died without a sound. His death was not worth a single cent.
Geniuses were above ordinary people.
The value of three hundred geniuses far exceeded thirty thousand, or even a hundred thousand people of the same realm.
This time, the casualties of the foreign races were extremely heavy. It even exceeded the number of casualties during the battle for the key.
And all of this happened in less than half a day's time.
In such a short period of time, three hundred people had died. If Lin Feng's group continued to hunt, the number would only increase.
At this moment, apart from them, many people had already escaped from the Imperial Jade Seal Space Gate. Even the residents of Imperial Jade Seal City, which was very far away, had already begun to evacuate.
Linfeng's team used blood and death toll to prove what he said.
At this moment, even if they killed all of Linfeng's men, they wouldn't be able to make up for their losses.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Tian Qing knew that he was already regretting it.
After all, too many people had died!
There weren't more than ten people in Lin Feng's team. However, every single one of them was publicly acknowledged as a super genius. Other than Lin Feng, the rest of them had refined Grade 9 demon spirits and Earth Ranking demon spirits.
The overall strength of the team was terrifyingly strong. Other than them, if the other teams were to encounter them without any reinforcements, they would definitely not be a match for them.
"Perhaps leaving the Imperial Jade Seal Sect is the best choice."
A thought flashed through Tian Qing's mind as he looked at the flickering flames.
He realized that many people were already scared out of their wits. They no longer had the same imposing manner as before. If it weren't for the fact that they were afraid of the people from the five major forces, many of them would have directly quit.
The morale of the army was obviously shaken.
If the number of deaths continued to increase, even they wouldn't be able to deter them.
"The people from the Dragon King Palace should be arriving tomorrow morning."
Leng Xue said as she took a bite of the barbecued meat in her hand. After a while, she noticed that the atmosphere was a little heavy.
Her words were not only to break the silent atmosphere, but also to give the others some confidence.
"Even if they're here, they might not be able to do much.
In a hunting game, having more people doesn't mean anything. When the time comes, I'm afraid that these damn monkeys will have already escaped from the spatial door. "
Huang Ying shook her head. She didn't have high expectations for the arrival of the people from the Dragon King Palace.
Hai Wei was dead. Without a doubt, the people from the Dragon King Palace would definitely be shocked. The people they would send out would definitely be experts. Moreover, they would be well-trained and good at team battles.
However, Lin Feng could even kill Hai Wei. He had the strength of an invincible Grade 6. If he really wanted to take action, the Imperial Jade Seal Sect's spatial door was so big. Unless he was surrounded, how could he be killed so easily?
The outcome of this battle would most likely end with the humans escaping from the Imperial Jade Seal City.
If they wanted to escape, no one would be able to stop Lin Feng's team.
In other words, if they wanted to kill Lin Feng, it would be very difficult.
"Someone's coming."
Someone suddenly said as he stood up and picked up his weapon. However, he quickly relaxed. Along with the sound of footsteps, many people looked towards the northwest. A team of thirteen people had appeared.
They were all familiar faces, and the leader was Xue Ying.
In the middle of the night, he and his search team had returned.
Nighttime in the forest was dangerous, and if they encountered Lin Feng's team, they would be doomed.
At this time, besides those who had escaped, most of the other teams had either left or gathered here, afraid that they would be defeated one by one.
"Lin Feng has already entered the bounty list. He's ranked 585 with a bounty of 80 billion New Dollars."
Xue Ying brought a piece of news that caused many to exclaim.
The Shenwu Continent had a bounty list called the Human Clan's Bounty List.
From the name, one could tell that it specialized in hunting humans. Those who were able to enter the list were all geniuses and powerful powerhouses.
There were a total of three thousand positions on the list.
This was because China had the most experts. Although the list was published by the Shenwu Continent, the bounties were measured in Chinese New Dollars.
Those on the list ranged from Grade 1 to Emperor Realm cultivators, and it covered the entire world.
The higher the bounty, the higher the ranking.
Almost all of the world's famous geniuses and powerhouses were on the list.
As the top scholar of the college entrance exam, Lin Feng was very famous. However, because he had refined a grade 1 demon spirit, he had not entered the list.
Two years ago, when he had left the Demon Spirit World, he had entered the list at 2,580 with a bounty of 4 billion.
Not long ago, when he had represented the Hongyun Team in the National University Tournament of Glory, his ranking had risen to 2,060 with a bounty of 5.2 billion.
On the other hand, Yunkai's ranking was even higher, at 1,089 with a bounty of 8.9 billion.
Zhan Tianyu and Ye Qiu were also on the list. As people who had refined deity-grade demon spirits, the former was ranked 1,358, while the latter was ranked 1,365. There was not much difference, and their bounties were also around 7 billion.
This time, Lin Feng had killed Hai Wei, which had not only shaken the world, but had also made his name known to the people of the Shenwu Continent.
Now, Lin Feng was ranked 585 on the list.
Eight or nine out of ten people who could enter the top one thousand on the bounty list were ninth-grade and king-level experts.
Those who could enter the top 100 were all Emperor Realm cultivators.
Lin Feng had entered the list, and his ranking was so high. His bounty was as high as 80 billion, which exceeded the bounty of 90% of Grade 9 cultivators and even some King Realm cultivators.
This amount of money was enough to drive people crazy and make them lose their minds.
The bounty list attracted the people of the Shenwu Continent to hunt humans in extradimensional spaces.
At the same time, it also caused humans to kill each other.
Some traitors of the human race, such as the trash from the New World, would also pay attention to the list.
As long as they completed a mission, they could exchange it for resources of equal value even if they did not want money.
Even if they were a human or an assassin on the list, they would not have to worry about not being able to obtain a bounty.
This was also the reason why the bounty list had been able to stand tall for so long.
It was still fine in the base city, where his safety was guaranteed. However, once he entered an extradimensional space, Lin Feng would be like a mobile wallet. Not only would he have to be wary of foreign invaders, but he would also have to be wary of humans, his teammates, and his brothers.
After all, not everyone could withstand the temptation. Such a large sum of money would make many people greedy, and some would even give up their principles.
Many peerless geniuses had died prematurely because they had entered the bounty list.
"What a high ranking."
Leng Xue raised her eyebrows in surprise, but she quickly felt relieved.
After all, Lin Feng had killed Hai Wei.
Such a battle record in exchange for such a high ranking and a high bounty was not excessive.
"Let's rest and wait for the people from the Dragon King Palace to arrive."
Tian Qing closed his eyes as soon as he finished speaking.
This feeling of having strength but being powerless made him feel very uncomfortable. However, at the same time, he also felt relieved.
Hai Wei, who was on par with him, had been killed. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried at all.
The rest of them also rested. After tracking for so long, many of them were a little tired.
"Crackle, crackle …"
In the midst of the bonfire, snoring sounds could be heard. Four of them were keeping watch, but they were not too vigilant.
There were 43 of them here, and all of them were experts. Lin Feng's team could only run when they encountered them previously. Why would they walk right into their trap?
"Feng, when do we make our move?"
Less than 500 meters away from Hai Wei's team, on a treetop, Lin Feng's team of seven looked in the direction of the bonfire, quietly waiting for the time to come.
"43 of them, almost all of them Rank-6 martial artists."
Yang Ningbing whispered, her tone somewhat nervous.
Previously, the seven of them had killed at least 500 foreign invaders. Everyone's hands were stained with blood. In the battle, their teamwork had improved. Even if it was a team of ten foreign invaders, they could easily kill them.
However, this time, there were 43 of them, and all of them were very powerful. They had all refined high-level demon spirits. Among them were famous foreign invaders like Tian Qing and Huang Ying.
"Leave Tian Qing and Huang Ying to me. Later, Yu Qiao and I will approach first. You guys stay a hundred meters away. When the explosion sounds, you guys take the opportunity to attack. The six of you don't split up. Attack as a team."
Lin Feng slowly explained the plan.
"Huang Ying's illusion is very scary, even scarier than Tian Qing's. Can you deal with two of them at the same time?" Zhan Tianyu frowned.
The six-tailed fox demon spirit that Huang Ying had refined was ranked 21st on the Earth Leaderboard.
In addition to being good at mental attacks, her innate skill, Dreamland, could make people fall into the dreamland she created.
In his opinion, compared to Tian Qing and Leng Xue, Huang Ying was a bigger threat and more difficult to deal with.
"Don't worry. Dreamland is useless against me. I'm confident." Lin Feng did not explain too much.
"What if someone gets caught later?
This kind of chaotic battle is very dangerous. "
Yang Ningbing asked uneasily.
In her opinion, this sneak attack plan was too crazy.
They dared to hunt the foreign races and seal the Spatial Gate. Naturally, they had confidence in their strength and courage.
This was a Battle of Glory. They wanted to participate. Even if they had to die, they could accept it. However, that didn't mean that they were willing to die.
"No matter what happens, the six of you don't split up. If there are too many enemies and you get surrounded, you can retreat. Don't worry about me. If I want to leave, no one can stop me."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, they could only suppress the uneasiness in their hearts.
In the middle of the night, a gentle breeze blew. Aside from the occasional howls of demon beasts, the world was silent.
At this moment, everyone was drowsy. Under the cover of the night, seven figures silently moved forward like ghosts.
When they were a hundred meters away from their target, the team stopped.
Lin Feng glanced at Yu Qiao, but did not say anything.
The latter was possessed by a demon spirit and was like a ghost. Along with the release of his soul skill, the two of them were shrouded in shadows and disappeared into thin air. Even their scent disappeared.
Even Yunkai's group of five couldn't find where the two of them went.
In the night, Yu Qiao refined the Demonic Snake. As an assassin, he was like a fish in water. Relying on his demon spirit's innate ability, he led Lin Feng and slowly passed by a foreign race youth who was in charge of watching them.
As for the foreign race youth, although he wasn't sleepy, he was a little listless. He looked around in boredom and didn't notice the enemies approaching. They even passed by him less than two meters away.
Lin Feng and Yu Qiao did not attack. Even if they could easily kill the other party, it would definitely cause a commotion. As long as there was a trace of movement and the smell of blood, it would attract attention.
If it wasn't for Yu Qiao, Lin Feng wouldn't have been able to sneak in. He would have been discovered even if he was a hundred meters away.
They carefully moved forward, not daring to make any noise.
At this moment, Lin Feng and Yu Qiao were less than twenty meters away from the group. In their line of sight, one-third of the people were sleeping. The rest were either cultivating or looking at the bonfire.
At this moment, Lin Feng and Yu Qiao stopped, not daring to get any closer.
Yu Qiao was alone. He was confident that he could get within ten meters without being discovered. However, he had to bring Lin Feng with him.
Furthermore, he didn't dare to get too close. He could only escort Lin Feng to this point.
As Yu Qiao left, the soul skill disappeared and Lin Feng's figure appeared. Almost instantly, he was discovered. Moreover, it wasn't just one person. There were at least three people who discovered the uninvited guest's arrival.
And this uninvited guest was less than twenty meters away from them. Furthermore, he was alone. In the night, they couldn't see his specific appearance.
"Enemy attack!"
After being stunned for a moment, a sharp shout rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Tian Qing opened her eyes and suddenly stood up. At this moment, she saw Lin Feng rushing towards them. In the night, the two of them looked at each other. One was cold, the other was in disbelief.
It's Lin Feng!
And he's alone!
Is he walking right into the trap?
As soon as the thought came to her mind, Lin Feng appeared in the middle of the group like a flash of lightning. Accompanied by the demon spirit's possession, more than two hundred bubbles appeared and gathered together.
"Don't attack, release the defense …"
Tian Qing shouted frantically. However, in the next second …
"Boom —"
Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, a dazzling purple light flashed. In the night, many people squinted their eyes. Immediately, a shrill scream exploded from the crowd. The ground cracked and rocks flew everywhere. The power of the explosion was comparable to bullets. It even penetrated many people's bodies. Dark red blood splashed everywhere. The powerful shockwave sent many people flying. Electric current shuttled through their bodies, accompanied by strands of translucent white flame.
