Dragon City Team – “Demon Slayer”

It turned out that Han Dong’s team wasn’t just ‘lucky.’

The Dragon City Team on another floor found themselves similarly besieged, targeted from the onset by an almost unassailable entity.

Ding-a-ling-ling~~

The life-threatening sound of a metal bell echoes through the corridor.

Following closely behind is a figure suspended in the air, holding a metal bell with one hand, its face like the Abyss itself, deeply sunken in. Let’s call it “The Sunken One” for now.

Whether gazing directly at the sunken face or hearing the sound of the bell, Fear Value would accumulate.

The youngest-looking girl in the team, proficient in the Five Elements Technique, had turned deathly pale with fright.

No matter what kind of attacks were thrown, all would be absorbed by the deep pit of “The Sunken One’s” face… Additionally, the shaking of the bell would disrupt any approaching attacks.

Just when all sorts of hidden weapons, the Five Elements, and even roadblocks failed to stop “The Sunken One,”

a Solar Glare shone directly upon the target, causing “The Sunken One” to cover its deeply indented face with both hands, as drops of Black Water continuously fell from the crevices of its face.

Due to the use of such an advanced Power, the monk Gu Xu immediately fell into a weakened state.

“Found it… It’s right here!”

The one leading was the black-haired young man with a figure better than most girls.

Lively and swift, sharp and observant of the tiniest details.

A flash of silver light.

The young man sliced open the door lock to the medicine room with a dagger and quickly found the “safehouse” inside the medicine cabinet.

All members immediately fell into it.

Xuanyuan Jade, with Trishul in hand, leaned against the wall, panting heavily, “How many teams can withstand such a difficult start? We haven’t lost anyone solely because of the Divine Power you acquired in the City of Gods, captain.”

“Never underestimate others… At least that Demon could hold on.

Looking at it now, the problem with the “promotion competition” is significant, far from what we originally thought.

Let’s hope we don’t run head-on into some other troublesome team.”

…

[Perspective shift back]

Dumps’s memory was astonishing.

Despite being influenced by Fear during the escape, he managed to remember every road they had taken with absolute precision and used it to infer the corresponding floor plan.

Dumps had also specifically chosen the peripheral routes, almost having traversed the entire perimeter corridor of the hospital floor before using parts of the internal pathways to extrapolate a floor map… The drawn map clearly showed four key Nodes.

The room where everyone initially woke up, the [surgery room], was located at the very center of the floor.

The distance between the [safehouse] and the [surgery room] was less than ten meters.

On the farthest left and right of the floor were “stair structures.”

However, these stairs were strange.

The one on the farthest left could only lead upwards, and the one on the right could only lead downwards.

There was no information about an ‘exit’ at all.

Now a question lay before everyone, should they go up or down? A wrong choice could mean moving further away from the ‘exit,’ but it’s also possible that exits exist both above and below.

“Up or down?”

Maritzis, who tended to take the initiative, looked at Han Dong at that moment too.

Perhaps it was due to the few days of interaction that made her see him in a new light, or perhaps because Han Dong had just blocked a fatal blow for her.

“Down… Whether it’s this planet or the City of Gods itself, ‘below’ holds a special significance.

But it could also potentially thrust us into extreme danger.

Based on my past couple of weeks living in the City of Gods, I’m quite certain that at the deepest levels, something terrifying related to the origins of the City of Gods is buried, deemed a top secret by the high echelons in the Black Pyramid and the Pharaohs.

On the other hand, heading upwards could signify ‘evasion,’ more in line with the theme of escape, and possibly the exit is above.

Dumps, do you have any thoughts?”

Dumps shook his head as well, “Perhaps there are exits both above and below, but I cannot make the decision.”

When neither of the team’s ‘Wise Men’ could reach a conclusion, Mia’s voice came from the lower end of the mask, “Since there could be exits both above and below, how about we vote to decide?”

Han Dong nodded, “Alright, let’s indicate our choice with our fingers… I’ll count down from three, and you make your decision based on your first instinct. Once a choice is made, it cannot be changed.

3…

2…

1…”

Without exception, everyone’s index finger pointed downward.

“The formation remains unchanged, with Miss Mary and myself still covering the rear.

Everyone has rested enough, let’s get ready to move out! Although there’s no explicit time limit, if we can finish the race in first place, the Black Pyramid might give us some special reward.”

As all members exited through the safety door, they were startled by the clean and tidy sickroom before them.

The sickroom was back to its original state, without any signs of disturbance, even the iron door Abe had uprooted was restored to its former state.

Han Dong carefully cracked the door open a sliver and slowly extended a finger, then used his distortion ability to grow an eye, complete with visual nerves, on the tip of his finger to observe the situation in the outer corridor.

“There’s no one outside, let’s go…”

Just as Han Dong was signaling to his teammates behind him.

Creak, creak~ The familiar sounds of nails scraping, grinding directly into everyone’s ears, instantly filling them with fear.

The source of the sound wasn’t from the outer corridor, but right inside the sickroom… As Han Dong turned his head, he saw terrifying fingers rapidly crawling out from beneath the nearest sickbed.

This woman, draped in a white hospital gown and covered with aberrant finger-like structures all over her body, had been waiting in the room where everyone had vanished, even taking the time to tidy up the place without taking a single step out.

At the moment, the [position] posed a big problem.

The woman was hiding under the bed closest to the sickroom’s door.

Except for Han Dong, who was at the door checking out the corridor, the other teammates were hiding inside the sickroom… To leave the sickroom, they would have to get past this woman.

Of course, they could also choose to retreat back to the safe zone.

But Han Dong, who was at the door, would also need to pass this woman… and even if they successfully retreated back to the safehouse, they had no idea where the woman might ambush them next time, making the danger impossible to eliminate.

With that in mind.

Han Dong then used ‘John’s Spine’ to specifically strengthen his right arm while also fitting the ring exuding the scent of death onto his right hand’s ring finger and directly grabbed at the woman trying to crawl out from under the bed.

“Seeing through”

At the cost of a drop of blood from the Demon Eye.

Han Dong successfully avoided most of the nails and, while his right arm was still barely intact, forcefully pressed down on the woman’s head… preventing her from getting up.

“Run!”

The opportunity was hard to come by.

His four teammates ran out of the sickroom at top speed…

Han Dong was also preparing to flee.

Little did he know, the moment he pulled his hand away… Ah!! Han Dong’s screams filled the sickroom.

Over a dozen sharp black fingers pierced into his right arm, the flesh turning black upon penetration, and the bones rapidly corroding… Skin and flesh were torn off together, and the entire arm was ripped off alive.

Such intense pain mixed with fear almost made Han Dong pass out.

Yet his firm willpower allowed him to hang on.

With his eyes completely bloodshot, drip, drip~ he covered his arm leaking blood and fled from the sickroom.

Maritzis, who was in charge of covering the rear, was also frightened, “Your hand!”

“Don’t worry about it, we need to escape first… As long as my power recovers, I can regenerate.”

“No way…”

Recalling the scene where Han Dong had reached out to block a fatal attack for her.

Mary bit her lip and suddenly threw out her slippery tongue from her mouth, shooting it accurately into the sickroom.

The severed arm was successfully retrieved…

The light pink soft tongue also ended up with several blackened holes where the nails had pierced through.
