Chapter 826: Chapter 488 - Arrival (4K)_2

Perhaps that Crying Hero is just the defeated self at the foot of the city walls? After all, at that time, one was... truly fearful... fearful of losing....

"It’s unclear whether it’s a coincidence of fate or an inevitability of cause and effect. This scene has actually reappeared...." Li Changhe sighed, "But the outcome will not change at all."

...

In the minutes following the breach of the city, thousands of Terror Devils flooded into the Safe Zone only to be slain by players within a few steps. The houses inside the Safe Zone turned into new meat grinders.

The brutal street fights caused heavy losses for the Terror Devils.

Huge piles of Terror Devil corpses stacked up into burning mounds, and the stench of charred flesh and nauseating blood made it feel like hell.

But this also completely exhausted the Defensive Power along this route.

The Green Lion Demon King, standing over five meters tall, scorned the flames, walking out of the alley full of charred Terror Devil corpses with his massive paws.

Right in front of it was the residential area not far ahead, which was the rest area of this Safe Zone.

If they capture this place, the Duke’s plan will succeed. It would not only capture the humans’ source of food but also open the path to the underground area and test the mysterious strategist to see what he’s really thinking.

Three birds with one stone!

In fact, the Green Lion Demon King was quite hopeful that this strategist would do something; it was very much looking forward to the taste of divine creatures’ flesh.

Unfortunately, it never had the chance to face the strategist.

So tasting the flesh of the strategist’s Shaper could also be good. Besides some differences in temperament, they seemed to be the same person. Maybe they were the same person. The taste should be similar....

But those few humans obviously had no intention of giving up.

In front of the rest area, four players continued their bloody fight, not letting any Terror Devil get close to the rest area. After all, behind them were their own kin and fellow countrymen.

The Green Lion Demon King watched the four people struggling desperately against the Terror Devil siege and grinned. It twisted its neck, making a cracking sound.

Not far away, the One Day Life Loss was already wounded in many places.

He stretched out both hands and the ground nearby instantly softened. Dozens of Terror Devils on it fell into the ground as if stepping into quicksand. Then, with a clap of his hands, the ground hardened once more.

Taking advantage of the lull, he scanned the surrounding area with bloodshot eyes and yelled, "The count is off! Two are missing!"

The only players still fighting were himself, two from the official players, and that player wearing Tang dress. The other two had vanished without a trace at some point.

After the city wall collapsed, the nearest six-person team should have been blocking the Terror Devils. Could those two have been captured?

"Stop looking...." An official player answered, panting after cleaving a Terror Devil dressed in iron armor in two, "They... ran away... You know, if assassin players decide to flee, it’s very hard for the Terror Devils to keep them."

"Damn it!" One Day Life Loss was at first angry, then fell silent.

Yes, under these circumstances, of course they would run... If his sister weren’t in a slumber, he would want to run too. If his sister were awake, she would tell him to get out as fast as possible, right?

Could he possibly flee?

This Safe Zone is very important; here lies the giant carcass of an Abyssal Worm serving as a food source for humans. It is a lifeline for human survival.

This place is also one of only two passages to the underground area. One could say it helps the Insect Swarm Punishment Team protect the rear.

How could this place be abandoned? It can’t be abandoned!

If it’s lost, not only will the food be gone, but it could also leave the Insect Swarm Punishment Team exposed to attacks from both sides!

What shortsighted individual would, just to stay alive, abandon this place?

Especially when... especially when we could still hold out for a while longer. Maybe reinforcements are about to arrive!

If it is breached now, those sleeping kin behind us are doomed. It might even affect the warfare situation within the disaster fog! Damn it, damn it, damn it!

One Day Life Loss let out a low panting sound, and he saw the Green Lion Demon King behind the horde of Terror Devils.

"Is that... a Council Member of the Terror Devil Parliament? From Lion Camel Ridge?" One Day Life Loss asked, panting.

That Tang dress clad player, who had silently hammered to death hundreds of Terror Devils with their bare hands, looked up in a certain direction and said, "Not just it... several have come."

Official intelligence had already proven that there were over a dozen anomalies among the Terror Devils. These Terror Devils all had certain intelligence and incredibly devastating power.

Assassins, spotting their method of communication through holographic meetings, have dubbed it the Conference of Terror Devils.

The Six-winged Gatekeeper and the Faceless Man, whom Li Changhe had previously killed, were also members of the Conference of Terror Devils.

They were respectively the fourteenth seat, the Faceless Man, and the tenth seat, the Six-winged Gatekeeper.

And at this moment, there are four members attacking the Safe Zone!

The one in front is the seventh seat, the Demon King Green Lion.

These guys are the main targets of the killing squad and also the strongest force on the side of the Terror Devils.

Usually hiding so well that not even a hair can be seen, now they are boldly appearing before the players.

Damn it, it will take another twenty minutes or so for Dream Cruise to arrive; otherwise, we’d keep them here for sure!

"Where is General Li Ba? Who has him on their friend list?" One Day Life Loss asked, not seeing Li Changhe arrive. "He has killed a Conference Terror Devil before; he shouldn’t miss this one, right?"

After all, Li Changhe is the only player in the Safe Zone who has killed a member of the Conference of Terror Devils.

No one responded. Li Changhe was defending the southeastern wall alone, where the defense pressure was the greatest. At this moment, the Terror Devils had already broken into the Safe Zone, and it was questionable whether he could make it here on his own.

No one doubted that General Li Ba would flee from here, but nobody thought he would make it in time.

After all... too many Terror Devils had already poured in.

"Let’s be honest... does anyone here have the ability to kill a member of the Conference of Terror Devils?" One Day Life Loss, seeing the Demon King Green Lion already standing up, softly asked, "Stop hiding your capabilities now!"

"Keep buying me time," the woman in the Chinese dress whispered. "The longer the better, I need to gather my strength to deliver... a one-hit kill."

This Chinese-dress player was the one who had previously shaken the Abyssal Worm’s corpse with a single punch. The sheer power of that punch had caught the attention of the players.

While in the defense rest area, she had already been gathering her strength. But to summon the previous earth-shattering punch, she needed more time to build up energy.

During this time, she would not be able to move; her teammates had to secure the time for her.

"For that one-hit kill of yours... I’ll drag it out with my life!" an official player grinned, showing no sign of fear in his words.

One Day Life Loss knew... he was prepared to die.

Yes... after fighting the Terror Devils for so long, every player had sustained great exhaustion.

They were no longer at their peak... and the Demon King Green Lion hadn’t spent any strength. They wouldn’t hold him off for long...

The next second, the Demon King Green Lion reached out and grabbed a huge bone from some creature.

The huge body charged without any delay, while two official players, without any hesitation, both launched their attacks.

One brandished a beheading saber glowing with dazzling fire, fearlessly charging towards the Demon King Green Lion with crimson eyes, determined to detain him at all costs.

The other player, however, sliced his own wrist, his blood spraying over his arm.

A giant phantom appeared behind him, along with a solid-looking arm. This was his Symbiotic Body, a Mountain Beast! Such a symbiotic entity, unlike Brother Ting, had great risks associated with it, as it often costs life expectancy or part of the body to control. But he was now fearless.

The Demon King Green Lion bared its teeth in a smirk; it had seen too many humans fight to the death. But in the end, they all ended up in its belly.

This time would be no exception! They were all prey...

However, the very next second.

The Demon King Green Lion suddenly sensed something wrong.

It abruptly stopped its charge, turning its gaze toward a nearby alleyway.

It abandoned its nearly capturable prey... because a more dangerous creature had made its appearance...

A figure had emerged from somewhere at an unknown time.

The swaying firelight stretched the figure’s shadow long and large.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone."

No sooner had the voice fallen, than in that enormous shadow... a multitude of crimson eyes snapped open!
