The sky was densely packed with monsters as they spiraled in the firmament, blotting out the sun.
The ground quaked incessantly as the sounds of trampling were deafening. It was as though thousands of horses were galloping towards the forest.
Shi Xiaobai happened to be in the periphery of the forest, so he could clearly hear all sorts of roars. Countless monsters were surging towards the forest like a tidal wave.
Shi Xiaobai's expression changed slightly. For these monsters to suddenly gather in the forest, it appeared to be coming for him.
At this moment, the gigantic vulture spiraling in the sky was the first to swoop down and attack Shi Xiaobai.
Shi Xiaobai was naturally unafraid as he raised his sword and slashed at the vulture. A golden sword beam instantly sliced off the vulture's head.
"Roar!"
The monsters spiraling in the sky roared angrily and soon, they swooped down at Shi Xiaobai on the ground.
Shi Xiaobai could not help but sneer. Although there were many of these monsters and they were quite strong, he was best at fighting one against many.
Shi Xiaobai used Crab Steps to ingeniously dodge the monsters' attacks as he constantly slashed out with the Kun Peng Sword Technique. Flames filled the sky, strong winds danced, or ice and snow swirled. All sorts of large area-of-effect sword techniques were at his fingertips. The sword beams that filled the sky slashed down the monsters one after another.
Tragic cries resounded as the monsters spiraling in the sky constantly attacked Shi Xiaobai. However, this was just the tip of the iceberg. The monster horde that blotted out the sky did not seem to decrease at all.
At this moment, the monsters that had surged into the forest finally arrived.
The monsters formed groups and advanced like bulldozers. Trees were knocked down one after another.
These monsters were all different. There were wolves, tigers, gigantic apes, black oxen, crocodiles, pythons … Other than these ferocious beasts, there were also many strange-looking monsters.
The monsters charged into the forest with a murderous aura. They filled the entire horizon and there was no end to them. They were like a tidal wave that was crashing towards the shore.
These monsters surged into the forest and began wantonly destroying the trees, rocks, land, as well as the harmless little creatures in the forest. None of them were spared.
When they saw Shi Xiaobai fighting the monsters that were descending from the sky, they were like beasts that had been starving for a long time. Their eyes turned green as they charged at Shi Xiaobai.
The monsters spiraling in the sky were like their food was about to be snatched as they anxiously swooped down into the forest.
The entire forest was filled with roars, howls, and roars … Killing intent filled the air, and it was like hell on earth.
Shi Xiaobai had transformed into a god of death as he circled the monsters at an extremely fast speed. He constantly brandished his black sword as countless golden sword beams annihilated the monsters that were attacking him like moths to a flame.
However, there were just too many of these monsters, so many that it made one's hair stand on end. After killing a hundred of them with great difficulty, there were still hundreds of them hovering in the sky, crowding the forest.
Shi Xiaobai was naturally not foolish enough to kill all the densely packed monsters that were constantly increasing. There was only one thing he needed to do now.
Living, living safely, allowed Kali to feel at ease, preventing her from going berserk again.
"If you think that you can grind This King to death with numbers, then your wishful thinking is wrong!"
Shi Xiaobai sneered in his heart.
These monsters that blotted out the sky and covered the earth were obviously summoned by the mastermind. It seemed that the mastermind's "authority" was very high, to be able to summon such a terrifying beast tide.
However, they knew nothing about Shi Xiaobai.
If it were any ordinary person, they would not be able to last long against so many monsters.
However, Shi Xiaobai was different. From his past experiences, he had faced skeleton armies and bone dragons in the virtual world. In the Underworld, he had been chased by tens of thousands of bat riders. In the Demon City, he had traversed the mountains and plains of demonic beasts … He had seen too many of such scenes!
Shi Xiaobai possessed tenacious nerves, a calm mind, and a fearless heart. He could always face a group attack calmly. Crab Steps, which he was good at, gave him a huge advantage in dodging. Unleaking Turtle Aura's terrifying endurance allowed him to last a long time under siege.
Trying to use the beast tide to kill Shi Xiaobai was no doubt the most foolish method!
The mastermind had made the worst decision.
Shi Xiaobai constantly circled the monsters. What he needed to do now was to wait for Kali's safe return. Before that, he only needed to ensure his own safety.
However, as Shi Xiaobai constantly retreated into the forest's inner periphery, he suddenly heard a tragic cry amidst the monsters' roars.
Shi Xiaobai's expression immediately changed drastically.
The tragic cry was not the cry of a monster, but a human's scream.
These monsters were not only attacking him, they were also attacking the other rookies!?
When Shi Xiaobai realized this, he immediately felt anger surging in his heart.
He shook off the monsters that were pestering him and ran towards the source of the tragic cry.
Soon, after passing through the collapsed ground and the crisscrossing trees, Shi Xiaobai's pupils constricted slightly.
He saw a rookie being surrounded by dozens of monsters. The rookie's face was pale, and he was angry and terrified. He was doing his best to resist, but his body was already riddled with wounds.
And not far away, there was a tattered corpse. The corpse was being eaten by a few monsters. The head had long been bitten off, and it was unknown who it was. The innards had been pulled out by the monsters, and there was not a single piece of intact flesh on the corpse. White bones could be seen!
When Shi Xiaobai saw this tragic scene, he was immediately infuriated. With a loud roar, he slashed angrily at the dozens of monsters that were attacking the rookie!
Shi Xiaobai naturally showed no mercy to these man-eating monsters. Soon, he killed the dozens of monsters that were attacking the rookie, saving the rookie.
After the rookie was saved, he collapsed to the ground in exhaustion. When he turned his head to see the tragic state of his companion not far away, he could not help but cry.
Shi Xiaobai sighed and asked, "Why didn't you use the exit command?"
The rookie sobbed and said, "It's useless … We have shouted dozens of times, but the exit command has no effect … Compared to our lives, what's a spot for the collective training? Boohoo … I want to go home. "
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaobai's heart immediately turned heavy. The mastermind's "authority" was so high that even the exit command could be disabled. They had gone to such lengths just to kill him!
From a certain point of view, this rookie had died because of him!
The monsters were still constantly surging into the forest. The monsters that blotted out the sky were constantly swooping down, causing the number of monsters in the forest to increase.
The roars were deafening and incessant.
Occasionally, there would be a human scream or two mixed in.
Shi Xiaobai was immediately jolted awake. Now was not the time to blame himself. The monsters had surged into the forest and attacked without regard for their targets. The other rookies were also being attacked by monsters!
Shi Xiaobai hurriedly lifted the rookie who was slumped on the ground and rushed deep into the forest.
"Pull yourself together. We need to save the others!"
Shi Xiaobai shouted at the rookie who had lost his soul.
A wry smile suffused across the rookie's lips. "Save the others? We can't even protect ourselves. "
Shi Xiaobai sighed in his heart and did not speak further. With the rookie in his left hand, he wielded a sword in his right hand and constantly slew the monsters that attacked him.
As he proceeded forward, his heart turned heavier. The anger in his eyes could not be suppressed.
Along the way, all he saw were tragic scenes. The rookies that could come to the sixth level were pretty good in terms of strength and quality, but most of them came from schools. They lacked the experience of actual life-and-death combat. Being surrounded by a large group of hungry and bloodthirsty monsters, they quickly lost their composure and died a horrible death after a short while.
The corpses were all eaten up. Their faces were no longer recognizable. Some of them had already turned into white skeletons.
Shi Xiaobai had also saved a few rookies, but these people had looks of despair. Facing the overwhelming number of monsters, the hopeless situation of not being able to use the exit command, and the tragic reality of their companions dying a horrible death, their hearts were filled with the fear of death.
Shi Xiaobai naturally would not leave them in the lurch. He constantly slew the monsters and like an inexhaustible machine, he constantly advanced deeper into the forest.
However, Shi Xiaobai was not a god after all. With so many monsters surrounding him, there were still rookies dying a horrible death in front of Shi Xiaobai.
Along the way, it was a hellish scene. Advancing forward was becoming more and more difficult. The number of rookies Shi Xiaobai could save were few. Most of them died a horrible death, or had died somewhere unknown.
Finally, Shi Xiaobai saw two familiar figures in front of him.
Mozzie was struggling to hold on with her Magical Silver Shield, and Mu Yuesheng was constantly using lightning bolts to fight the monsters.
The two girls were in a sorry state at this moment. They were panting and it looked like they were about to lose their stamina.
Shi Xiaobai hurriedly rushed forward to save the two.
"Where's Kevin?"
As Shi Xiaobai slew the monsters, he hurriedly asked. He had an ominous premonition.
Mozzie immediately cried, "Boohoo … Kevin was eaten by an invisible monster!"
Shi Xiaobai's face immediately turned pale.
Who else could an invisible monster be other than a dragon?
Shi Xiaobai was immediately enraged to the extreme, but he was also extremely sad.
More than half of the dozens of rookies had died. Kevin was also dead.
Although they had died under the hands of the monsters, they had also died because of him!
This was a crazy operation to kill him. He was still alive, but the rookies that he had implicated were dying tragically one after another.
Shi Xiaobai angrily roared as he charged into the monsters. He was in a frenzied state, as though he was a god of death.
"Clang."
Suddenly, with a clang, Shi Xiaobai's sword was struck down.
Monsters surrounded him as they opened their gaping mouths to bite at his limbs.
"Sorry, Kali."
Shi Xiaobai gently closed his eyes.
Light suddenly bloomed above the forest as the monsters circling in the sky plummeted to the ground. The monsters on the ground shattered like glass as they screamed in death.
Shi Xiaobai sighed.
A fiery voice resounded in his mind.
"Make your choice, youth."
Kali raged.
The choice had failed once again.
…
Shi Xiaobai slowly opened his eyes.
In front of him was a familiar scene. Forty-eight rookies were in the valley. Time came to a standstill as three lines of black text appeared in front of him.
Shi Xiaobai's eyes flashed with a look of confusion.
Choosing the first choice was to save all the rookies, but it would result in Kali raging.
Choosing the second choice was to prevent Kali from raging. The masterminds behind the scenes had gone mad in order to kill him. Many rookies would die because of him.
These two choices were like the two sides of a coin. By choosing one side, the cruelty of the other side would undoubtedly be revealed.
Shi Xiaobai was still immersed in his sad and angry emotions. His mind was in a mess.
He did not know what choice to make.
Make Kali raging? He absolutely would not allow it!
Make so many rookies die because of him? He could not tolerate it!
Was there no choice that did not require anyone to be sacrificed, even if it was only him?
Shi Xiaobai's confused gaze landed on the third choice that he had ignored from the very beginning.
Shi Xiaobai's confused gaze landed on the third choice that he had ignored from the beginning for the first time.
