In the Chaotic Lands.
Night fell, and the sky was dark. However, the colorful sky was still shining brightly, unobscured by the darkness of the night.
At this time, almost all the human teams had arrived at their destination. The three thousand or so teams didn't gather together. Instead, they were scattered in different locations according to their strength.
This was because no one knew when the key would appear or where it would appear. They had to be prepared at all times.
In the darkness of the night, the fighting that had lasted for an entire day didn't stop. On the contrary, it seemed to be intensifying.
Under the cover of the roars of the demonic beasts, the sounds of fighting and shouting echoed throughout the forest.
In a central location, Yang Qing's group of thirty or so people sat quietly around a bonfire.
At this time, they were in the most central area, directly below the colorful sky. This was where the key was most likely to appear.
They were less than a hundred meters away from Hai Xiu's group.
Around them, corpses could be seen everywhere. There were humans and aliens, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
To the side, a large high-grade demonic beast lay paralyzed on the ground, dead. Two youths walked around, cutting off the beast's essence and skewering it with bamboo sticks.
In the darkness of the night, the bonfire flickered, accompanied by the sizzling sound of grease. Amidst the smell of blood, the rich aroma of barbecued meat spread out, forming a strange smell.
As the other teams fought desperately, Yang Qing's group began to eat dinner.
Miserable screams came from the distance. Some of them looked hundreds of meters away, where a human team was fighting with an alien team. People were falling one after another. The rest of them watched in silence, not intending to help.
In order to occupy this central location, they had already fought twice, and even lost a King.
The hundreds of corpses piled up around them were enough to prove the intensity of the battle.
They restrained themselves from attacking because the key hadn't appeared yet.
If they attacked, there was a high chance they would die in the chaos.
Even if they came out unscathed, it would consume their soul power and stamina. In the end, they might be assassinated by the other mutants.
At this time, most of the alien geniuses and Kings hadn't attacked, so they couldn't move either.
"These bastards!"
Hearing the miserable screams, a fat old man couldn't take it anymore. He threw down the barbecued meat and stood up. His figure moved, wanting to join the battle. However, he was pulled back by his companions, who motioned for him to calm down.
"Brother Chen, calm down. You won't be of much help even if you go!"
"Calm my ass! Kill as many as you can!"
The fat old man didn't listen at all. He struggled to join the battle.
Yang Qing ate the skewers and watched this scene silently. Her eyes were very calm.
Compared to the others, he was much calmer.
He had participated in many key fights.
Furthermore, he had a key, a high-grade 9-star key. Thus, he knew very well how cruel the battle for the key was.
He was able to obtain the key not only because he was strong enough, but also because of his family's support.
In order to obtain this key, he had paid with the lives of hundreds of clansmen.
"Alright, calm down. How many people can you kill if you suppress your strength?
As a King, don't get killed by a few pieces of trash. That's really embarrassing and not worth it! "
A man who was eating a skewer said impatiently.
"Am I supposed to just sit here and watch?"
The fat old man suppressed his anger and asked.
"The key is likely to appear tomorrow. You'll have plenty of chances to make your move. There's no need to rush."
The man said, his voice filled with disdain. Just when the old man was about to retort, someone said, "Absolute Heaven hasn't appeared yet. He might be hiding nearby!"
Perhaps because he heard the name Absolute Heaven, the old man's face changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down.
A foreign race genius that could cut off the arm of a Transcendent expert, Hong Tao, and make him flee, no one dared to ignore him.
As for Absolute Heaven's Natal Demon Spirit, Night Devil, it was ranked eighteenth on the Earth Ranking. It was the most suitable demon spirit for an assassin.
No one wanted to encounter him at night.
"Why aren't Lin Feng and the others here yet?" Someone looked around and asked curiously.
Although they didn't want to admit it, in the Bedlam Lands, the strength of this group of geniuses wasn't much weaker than them.
This was one of the key fights for the key.
"I don't know. It's like they've gone crazy from killing."
....
Two kilometers away from the core group, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the dense forest. A group of seven figures quickly shuttled through the forest.
This group of people looked to be in a sorry state. Quite a few of them were injured. However, this did not affect their speed at all. They were running and flying at lightning speed.
While they were breathing rapidly, they constantly looked behind and around them. Their eyes were filled with fear, as if there was a desolate beast chasing after them in the darkness.
"Hurry up, there's a large group up ahead."
Someone shouted loudly, speaking in the language of the other races. Clearly, this was a small group of the other races.
They could already see the flames in front of them. Their faces revealed traces of joy.
As long as they could hold on for a while, their companions would come to their aid. No matter how strong Lin Feng's team was, they wouldn't dare to approach.
The flames in front of them seemed to be their hope. It gave them, who were originally exhausted, a boost of energy. After being chased all the way, the team that originally had thirty-seven people was now left with only seven people.
Lin Feng's team behind them were like devils, crazily slaughtering them.
"Ah!"
Not long after the words were spoken, the team member who was flying in the air suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream. Along with the sound of flowing water, there was a "bang" sound, and the scream stopped abruptly.
Everyone stopped abruptly. Their faces were filled with fear as they looked at the body on the ground that had been cut in half. The scene was extremely bloody.
"It's spider silk!"
Three meters above the body, the mutants found a strand of spider silk that was connected to a tree.
In the darkness of the night, the spider silk was hard to find even at a close distance.
Although the spider silk was thin, it was even tougher than steel. If they didn't find it while running, they would end up in a miserable state.
The death of their companions terrified the rest of the mutants. They wanted to run, but not far away, there was a dark shadow shuttling through the trees silently. Sometimes, the shadow's feet were attached to the trees, like a giant spider.
Under the moonlight, they found that the path ahead had been surrounded by spider silk.
At the same time, on the ground, on the branches, and in the air, shadows appeared one after another.
These shadows were like the Grim Reaper. They made the mutants despair, but they still resisted.
After a few blood-curdling screams, everything returned to normal.
"Someone is coming."
On the branch, Linfeng looked down at the approaching figures and said coldly.
From day to night, he didn't feel tired at all. Instead, his condition was getting better.
Linfeng couldn't count how many mutant teams he had encountered and how many he had killed.
He only knew that there were no more mutants in the periphery, and his martial arts realm had broken through to upper-stage Rank Seven.
The power of the sacrifice not only tempered his body, but also allowed him to open up nine meridians in a day. The Arowana had also grown a lot. However, it wasn't easy for it to break through to Rank Seven.
Although Linfeng was happy with the increase in his strength, what troubled him was that the King of Nightmares had also grown stronger. Compared to the Arowana, it was growing faster.
He couldn't control the power of the King of Nightmares.
"I'm about to break through!"
Beside him, Zhan Tianyu, who was in his demon form, was more than 2.3 meters tall. His dark body, strange patterns, and six arms made him look like an evil demon.
The continuous killing made his eyes shine with a bloodthirsty light.
The thrill of increasing his strength quickly made him unwilling to stop.
He was now at Peak Rank Six and was only one step away from breaking through to Rank Seven.
The Six-Armed Heavenly Demon that he had refined didn't have wings. Once he broke through to Rank Seven, he could condense Spiritual Power Wings and gain the ability to fly.
"Should we continue?" Zhan Tianyu asked.
They were less than two kilometers away from the main group. If they were to fight, it might cause a big mess. They might even be surrounded.
"Continue!"
Linfeng looked at the incoming group and said indifferently.
With so many offerings, this was probably the only chance they would have.
There were many Mutant Kings two kilometers away.
It didn't matter how many cannon fodders died. However, if a King fell, no matter which force it was, it would be heartbreaking.
Although they had killed thousands of mutants, they hadn't killed a King.
Everyone was looking forward to the power of the King of Nightmares.
Just as everyone was waiting for their prey to arrive, no one noticed that a figure was silently following them like a ghost all along the way, and it was gradually approaching.
