The smell of blood emanated, making it nauseating. A blood figure that had just taken form appeared in the middle of the crowd's encirclement.
Although the blood figure's face was still blurry, making it impossible to discern its appearance, the blood-colored sickle in its hand left a deep impression on everyone present. Not long ago, the black-robed youth had suddenly appeared. The scene of him nearly killing Sunless immediately surfaced in everyone's mind.
"No good, quickly stop it!"
Someone screamed.
Others had already taken action.
The blood figure was less than ten meters away from Shi Xiaobai. If it were to suddenly attack, who could withstand it?
However, the blood figure's body was coagulating into a blood clot at a discernible speed. It was as though it had yet to completely 'revive'!
Mu Yuesheng's nerves were constantly tense, so she was the first to react. A thick icy-blue bolt of lightning shot out from her feet like a python, striking the blood figure.
Pulp Farmer's reaction was similarly not slow. His spear had already stabbed at the blood figure. The spear thrust was like a dragon, transforming into a cold beam!
"Boom!"
The two attacks struck one after another as the blood figure looked up and roared. It conjured a blood-colored barrier, forcefully defending against the attacks. However, the blood-colored barrier fluctuated a few times like a water curtain, as though it was difficult to defend.
"It's very weak!"
"Its strength has yet to fully recover!"
"Go, destroy it!"
Everyone reacted as they raised the weapons in their hands and began bombarding the blood figure!
"Boom! Boom! Boom …"
The blood-colored barrier constantly flickered and fluctuated before finally shattering with a boom. However, the blood figure's body had already coagulated into a blood clot. A layer of tender skin had only covered half of its body.
"Hurry, it's about to completely revive!"
"Fuck, what the hell is this? It's disgusting! "
"I'm already having goosebumps all over my body. Quickly destroy it!"
The blood figure's appearance looked like it had half its skin peeled off. The blood clots had already turned into sticky flesh. It was nauseating to look at.
Mu Yuesheng frowned slightly as she shot out an Extreme Lightning Cannon that was much thicker than before.
Pulp Farmer's expression was cold as he stabbed out with his Overlord Spear. The gigantic spear shadow was extremely domineering.
Feng Yuanlin shouted loudly as a silver shield appeared in his hand. He did not have any long-range attacks, but he did not dare to get too close to the bloody figure. He actually used the shield in his hand as a hidden weapon!
Liu Yu waved his horsetail whisk, and there seemed to be a faint immortal aura within it. He shouted, "Demon, die!" He suddenly took out a talisman from his bosom and threw it at the bloody man!
An Mo played the flute, and the sound of the flute was melodious. When everyone heard it, they became more and more spirited, and when the bloody man heard it, he became even more irritable.
Zhou Chuchu frowned, looking like she was about to vomit. She angrily lashed out with her whip, sending a surge of power towards the bloody man.
The rookies in the innermost layer mercilessly attacked the bloody figure that was about to fully revive. The black-robed youth was just too powerful and strange. No one dared to imagine what he would do after he revived, so they naturally had to stop him with all their might.
"Boom …"
Explosions rang out incessantly, and dust flew everywhere, obscuring one's line of sight. Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm.
"The bloody man is gone!"
Indeed, amidst the flying dust, the blurry silhouette of the bloody man suddenly disappeared amidst the indiscriminate bombardment!
Had it been blasted into a pool of blood again?
But when they looked at the ground, there were only spots of blood. Where was the blood?
"Dead? It has been completely destroyed by us? "
Everyone's eyes lit up. When they thought of this possibility, they were immediately pleasantly surprised. They never expected the bloody man to be so weak when he revived!
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "No, it's not dead! Look over there! "
Everyone looked in the direction that the person pointed and saw that on the ground in the distance, there was a bright red carpet. At first glance, they didn't know what the red carpet was, but when they looked carefully, they could see that it was a pool of blood!
And it was unknown when the pool of blood had tunneled out of their encirclement. At this moment, it was moving at an extremely fast speed on the ground, escaping into the distance!
"How did it run out?"
"It's about to escape. Quickly chase after it!"
"We can't let it escape. If it fully revives, none of us will be able to stop it!"
The rookies were in a mess. The rookies in the outermost layer hurriedly chased after it, but the pool of blood suddenly tunneled into the ground midway. No one knew which direction it had run off to.
"Fuck, this monster can actually burrow into the ground?"
"We're doomed. We can't catch up to it!"
"Fuck, who knows when this monster will fully revive. Everyone, be mentally prepared."
The scene was in chaos. Everyone could feel the repressive atmosphere. Protecting Shi Xiaobai was not as simple as they imagined it to be in order to draw a perfect end to their journey.
And at the most chaotic moment, a cold and tiny crossbow bolt suddenly shot out from the crowd at Shi Xiaobai's shoulder. The tiny crossbow bolt was nearly transparent in color, and the angle it was shot at was extremely tricky. The timing it chose was perfect. It happened to be the moment when everyone's minds were in chaos!
This arrow had been prepared for a long time. It was shot at the Life Epaulette on Shi Xiaobai's shoulder. Its speed was as fast as lightning, and its intentions were clear!
However, nearly no one noticed the sudden shooting of the crossbow bolt. Even if they noticed it, they were unable to react in time.
The crossbow bolt was about to stab into Shi Xiaobai's shoulder in the next instant. It would explode upon hitting its target, and it would definitely shatter the epaulette. It might even blast the defenseless Shi Xiaobai's shoulder to pieces!
But so what?
In the crowd, a rookie revealed a sneer of success as he silently retreated. He was in the middle of the crowd, so he was not too far away, nor would he be too close to escape.
At the moment the explosion sounded, everyone would panic to the extreme. At that moment, he could easily escape, and in three seconds, he would be sent to the sixth level!
So what if he incurred the wrath of the masses?
The land of trials was a place of competition. The winner was king, while the loser was a bandit. There was nothing wrong with being unscrupulous in order to win!
As the crossbow bolt shot out, a sharp-eyed person noticed the nearly transparent trajectory. However, before they could even scream, the crossbow bolt had already reached Shi Xiaobai's shoulder!
A hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the crossbow bolt!
It was a fair and slender hand. A layer of icy-blue lightning bolts swirled around her fingers. The crossbow bolt was just a few centimeters away from Shi Xiaobai's shoulder!
"Boom!"
The crossbow bolt exploded, but the layer of icy-blue lightning bolts completely enveloped the explosion that was about to spread out like a cage!
The explosion was like an irascible beast in the icy-blue cage. It struggled to break free, but ultimately, it did not even manage to reach a distance of a few centimeters. It was extinguished in the icy-blue cage.
The sound of people sucking in a breath of cold air rose one after another.
They saw that the fair and slender hand that held the crossbow bolt had been blasted into a bloody mess. There were a few spots that were charred black.
Even though she had used Psionic Hardening to protect her hand, with the explosion completely compressed, the force of the explosion on her hand had increased by several times. How could she defend against it?
How much pain was the owner of that hand in that moment?
Everyone traced the fair hand and saw that the girl with short brown hair who had been standing beside Shi Xiaobai did not reveal a pained expression. Instead, she had a look of relief.
Mu Yuesheng heaved a sigh of relief. Something bad had nearly happened. If not for her being vigilant of her surroundings during the most chaotic moment, to prevent any rookie with ill intentions from sneaking up on her, that arrow would have been very difficult to defend against!
Something bad had nearly happened to Shi Xiaobai!
Upon thinking of this, Mu Yuesheng felt a lingering fear. Immediately, she focused her attention to her surroundings.
Slowly, she finally had the time to pay attention to the pain coming from her right hand. Mu Yuesheng only turned her head to take a glance. Her eyes were indifferent, as though it was not her hand. Immediately, she scanned the crowd angrily and warily. She whispered, "Who is it?"
Everyone was jolted awake as they immediately felt endless anger.
"Fuck, which bastard is it!?"
"Fuck, which despicable bastard sneaked up on me?"
"Indeed, some slut did not stay behind sincerely. He's too shameless. We can't let him off easily!"
The scene was chaotic once again, but the rookie who sneaked up on Shi Xiaobai had hidden himself extremely well. When he shot the crossbow bolt, he had chosen a time when everyone was looking in the direction the blood escaped from. Furthermore, the crossbow bolt was hidden in his sleeve, so it was not revealed at all.
The rookie who sneaked up on Shi Xiaobai had pretended to look indignant like the others, so no one was able to find him immediately.
At this moment, a girl who looked very gentle walked out of the crowd and walked straight towards Mu Yuesheng. She was ten meters away from Shi Xiaobai.
Mu Yuesheng immediately frowned and shouted coldly, "Stop, don't come over!"
Everyone hurriedly turned their heads and looked at the girl with scrutinizing eyes.
The girl hurriedly stopped and said in a gentle tone, "You are mistaken. I study medicine. I just want to treat your hand."
Mu Yuesheng shook her head and said, "There's no need!"
The girl hurriedly said, "No, your hand has to be treated immediately, or the injury will worsen … And even if the injury doesn't worsen, if it is not treated properly, it might leave behind a scar. Your hand is so beautiful, so I believe you do not wish for your hand to have a scar, right? Let me treat it. It will be quick. "
When Mu Yuesheng heard this, she firmly shook her head and said, "There's no need. Go back."
The girl frowned deeply and said softly, "Why are you so stubborn?"
Mu Yuesheng looked at the girl seriously and said, "Because I don't believe you!"
After Mu Yuesheng said this, she surveyed the crowd and said in a deep voice, "It should be said that I don't believe any of you here. I don't know which one of you truly wants to protect Shi Xiaobai, or which one of you is a hypocrite, ready to sneak an attack at any moment. No matter how sincere you act, I won't believe you. Because, I can't believe you! Even if there's a tiny bit of risk, I will absolutely not risk Shi Xiaobai's future or even his shoulders! So, if anyone steps within ten meters of me, I will automatically treat him as an enemy. If you truly want Shi Xiaobai's good, stand there quietly. Be wary of the people around you at all times. That will be the greatest help. My hand is fine. Compared to Shi Xiaobai, what's a bit of a scar? "
The girl gaped and gave Mu Yuesheng a deep glance before silently retreating.
Everyone immediately felt repressed as they looked at Mu Yuesheng with eyes filled with admiration.
At this moment, a shifty-eyed rookie rolled his eyes and suddenly said loudly, "You always say that you don't believe us, but why must we trust you a hundred percent? We don't even know who you are, so why are you standing beside Shi Xiaobai from the beginning, to the point of forbidding others from approaching? Who knows if you're faking it too? Are you waiting for everyone to relax before secretly destroying the Death Epaulette? Since you don't believe us, why should we believe you? Everyone, don't you agree? "
With this said, the atmosphere suddenly turned silent.
