"Run, he’s not dead yet, everyone scatter and run." Jie Chuan widened his eyes, looking at the monster with a chest pierced through on the ground, shouting loudly.

Dense tentacles were sliding and growing in the hollow of the monster’s chest, replacing the heart of "Ma."

An even more terrifying aura emanated from its body, carrying a scent of misfortune.

The tentacles shot out from the hole in its chest, binding a person nearby and dragging them in.

The monster’s flesh rapidly fused with him, becoming one, leaving only one head behind.

What a strange scene it was, bringing only infinite terror, as if witnessing something that should not be seen, with every cell screaming.

Jie Chuan staggered away without a glance back, fleeing into the distance, moving towards the night under the starlight.

Xu Kai and the others immediately followed from behind.

...

Tao Yi quickly devoured the corpse clean, not forgetting to lick his lips, seemingly very satisfied with the taste.

"That world is probably not simple."

Su Changxing looked up at the stars in the sky, sighing.

The soldiers he encountered should only be cannon fodder level on the battlefield, while those from the Black Crow Battle Group were slightly more elite.

Afterwards, he followed the trail left by Xu Kai and the others, finding numerous corpses along the way.

They seemed to have been hit head-on by a big truck, their bodies deformed, internal organs shattered.

Xu Kai and the others should have escaped in the direction of Donglin City.

"Seems they’re not so stupid, knowing to run this way."

Su Changxing gazed at the corpses on the ground indifferently, speculating what exactly had happened at the time.

The monster’s strength wasn’t particularly formidable at first; Xu Kai and the others could even handle it.

But after the monster was severely injured, its power became even more terrifying, and no one could stop it.

In other words, this was the monster’s true form.

The form of an Order creature allowed it to accumulate power more quickly, while shedding the form of an Order creature allowed it to display its true power.

Su Changxing reached the edge of the forest, through the shadows, seeing a blood-soaked corpse slumped against a tree, with a blood trail over ten meters long on the ground behind.

He crawled for more than ten meters on the ground before he died.

"Jie Chuan?"

Su Changxing immediately recognized the "blood man" as Jie Chuan, not by appearance but by body structure and physique.

He had multiple wounds on his body, two of which were self-inflicted but not fatal.

The most fatal wound was the knife wound on his back, penetrating the heart, leading to rapid organ failure due to massive blood loss.

Even with his strong life force, he still died.

It was obvious that someone had stabbed him in the back.

A very insidious stab.

This stab pierced his heart, causing his death.

Jie Chuan should be a Player, having been enhanced, his body quite strong, not easily killed by minor injuries.

"Who killed him?"

Su Changxing frowned slightly, thinking there was an internal conflict during their escape, leading to mutual carnage.

However, Jie Chuan was already severely injured during the battle with the monster, and someone with a character like Xu Kai probably wouldn’t do such a thing.

So he thought of Ge Yunhua.

It was very likely that Ge Yunhua acted in secret, as he was a Superpower User with such an ability.

...

"Where’s Jie Chuan?"

Ge Yunhua turned his head to look at Chen Qian, who was catching up from behind, and asked.

Though he had lost a hand, his condition was still relatively good.

Chen Qian sighed and shook her head, "I’m not sure, I got separated from him, but he should survive, after all, he’s formidable and a Player."

At this moment, Xu Kai was still unconscious, carried on Ge Yunhua’s back with one hand.

The others had also scattered, leaving only a few of them walking together.

"We’re lucky, that monster didn’t chase us, but others weren’t so fortunate," Chen Qian said with lingering fear.

Ge Yunhua nodded, saying, "Let’s keep moving forward, that monster might catch up, the farther we go the better."

Chen Qian glanced at the still unconscious Xu Kai and said, "Your injuries are severe, let me carry him."

Ge Yunhua thought for a moment, then shook his head, saying, "You lack the stamina, never mind."

Afterwards, the two continued forward in silence.

In the starlight, the monsters in the black mist also hid away, making the surroundings eerily quiet, almost terrifyingly so.

Chen Qian suddenly said, "Do you know what function the pendant Leader Su gave Xu Kai has?"

"I don’t know, but it’s probably related to becoming an Extraordinary, I guess that’s Xu Kai’s luck... Once he becomes Extraordinary, we might have a chance to become Extraordinary too, haha, as the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, even the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven."

Ge Yunhua forced a slight smile. Regarding Xu Kai’s situation, he was quite envious; no one didn’t want to become Extraordinary.

Chen Qian’s eyes flickered as she said, "Once he becomes Extraordinary, we might not be able to follow the same path."

Ge Yunhua affirmed, "Xu Kai isn’t that kind of person, he will take care of us, we are the best partners, right?"

Chen Qian fell into a brief silence, slowing her speed, seemingly struggling to keep up with Ge Yunhua.

Her eyes glowed blue as she looked at Xu Kai, saying, "Does the pendant really have to do with becoming Extraordinary?"

Xu Kai, in a dream-like half-awake state, muttered, "It’s related..."

"Chen Qian, you don’t need to worry. I think if we’re alive, we have a chance to become Extraordinary, that’s what Leader Su meant earlier..."

Ge Yunhua hadn’t finished his sentence when he heard the dull sound of a blade piercing flesh and the sharp pain coming from his back.

Slowly, he turned his head, showing an expression of disbelief, "Why? Why would you do this!"

Ge Yunhua’s spirit and strength were already at their limits, this strike made him collapse to the ground, his body trembling continuously, his face contorted.

Xu Kai also fell to the ground, his head banging against a rock beside him, causing a gush of blood, but he regained consciousness.

Did Chen Qian kill Ge Yunhua?

He plunged into confusion. His mind buzzed.

"Why did you do this?" Xu Kai raised his head to look at Chen Qian, questioning loudly.

This beautiful-faced woman, with a cruel smile, was slowly approaching him, the short knife in her hand dripping with fresh blood.

At this moment, she seemed like a demon walking among mankind.

Chen Qian used her other clean hand to brush back the hair from her forehead, speaking in a low voice:

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do you think I would pass up such a chance?"

Xu Kai noticed Chen Qian’s gaze fixed on the ancient bronze pendant on his chest, exclaiming in surprise, "You want this, hmm, why? Why would you do such a thing? You could have just asked me."

"Ask you? If I told you, would you give it to me? No! I already knew that things have to be fought for by oneself and can’t rely on others’ charity."

Chen Qian, also exhausted, wore a victorious smile; she was the last one standing.

Xu Kai took a deep breath, feeling sorrow, and slowly said, "So our friendship is so fragile... You can have it, let us go, there’s no need to be ruthless."

Chen Qian’s delicate face contorted, coldly saying, "No, I’m afraid of your revenge, after all, you have an Extraordinary teacher... I don’t."

She suddenly reached for Xu Kai’s neck, ripping off the ancient bronze pendant, while the other hand held the short knife, stabbing towards Xu Kai’s chest.
