Under Xia Fan's care, Sarah's body was getting better day by day. Her mental state and energy reserves had been restored. The only problem was her dislocated spine. This was a serious injury to the bones and muscles. Without sufficient medical resources, the only way to treat it was to rest. So, Sarah still could not withstand strenuous activities.
But Sarah was very anxious. A few days had passed. Since he could not use his speed, Xia Fan had to carry Sarah with him. They had to escape from the monsters at a very low speed. On average, every three hours they ran, they would get an hour of rest. The continuous escape had put a lot of pressure on Xia Fan. If not for Sarah, who was a burden, Xia Fan would have already gone to find his brothers.
"You should go! Leave me here and go find your brothers. "Sarah looked at Xia Fan and said in a hoarse voice. Xia Fan was resting.
Xia Fan was resting. When he heard this, he raised his head and smiled brightly. "Don't talk nonsense. I promised you that you just need to rest and don't worry about anything else. My brothers are very strong, so they shouldn't be in any danger. At most, they will be trapped in this endless Black Forest."
"What did you promise me?!" Sarah shouted anxiously. "My spine won't recover in a short time! We can't go on like this. When you are exhausted, we will still die! I can control flying blades now. Leave me here. I can deal with the monsters alone! "
Sarah was still curious about why Xia Fan insisted on bringing her along. Xia Fan scratched his head and said with a smile, "Actually, it's nothing. I just said that if you let me go, I'll take care of you or something like that."
"Grandpa Scourge said that you should not make promises easily. But once you make a promise, you must keep it. So, I will bring you along. Whether you are willing or not, I will not leave you behind."
Sarah was confused. What kind of existence was Grandpa Scourge? If he was a grandfather, why was he called Grandpa Scourge?
But Sarah knew that none of that mattered. What mattered was that they had fallen into a vicious cycle. Xia Fan was like a bird with broken wings when he could not use his speed. He could not use his abilities at all. He could have easily escaped, but now he was trapped.
As Sarah's anger grew, the two of them began to argue over their differing views. In the end, neither of them spoke. Sarah lay on the ground, her chest rising and falling as if she was sulking. She had a stubborn personality, and Xia Fan, who seemed to be smiling, was actually a stubborn fellow.
Xia Fan's mind raced. Suddenly, he thought of an idea. He said to Sarah, "Did you just say that you can control the blades again?"
Sarah nodded lightly. "Yes, I can. Controlling flying blades depends on the mind, not the body. My spine is dislocated, but my head is fine."
Xia Fan slapped his thigh and said, "If that's the case, we might have a way to leave this place."
"What do you have in mind?" Sarah asked curiously.
So, Xia Fan told Sarah his idea. Sarah's eyes widened after hearing it. It was indeed a good idea. Why didn't she think of it?
.....
It had been a full seven days since the black hole had appeared.
At that moment, the world above the black hole was filled with a murderous aura. Tens of thousands of warriors from the God Slaying Society stood at the edge of the black hole with all kinds of weapons on their faces.
It was obvious that a large area was missing from the entrance of the black hole, as if it had been bitten by some giant beast.
The gap was caused by a directional bomb. Taking advantage of the midnight, the God Slaying Society activated the directional bomb they had buried and created a man-made collapse. Nearly 200,000 warriors from the outside were forcibly sent into the black hole without anyone noticing.
Above the black hole, there were many modified frigates hovering. There were huge capstans on the hull, and alloy ropes extended into the black hole.
Commander An You stood at the edge of the black hole and looked down. Then, he waved his arm and gave the order to retract the ropes. The frigates began to fly into the sky. As they rose, they turned the capstans to retract the ropes.
Not long after, the first rope was retracted. There was no one at the end of the rope. There was only a corpse that had been bitten. Clearly, this scout had been killed by the monster in the black hole.
An You frowned and gestured for the other ships to continue retracting the ropes. As more and more ropes were retracted, scouts who were still alive began to appear. Their faces were pale. As soon as they were released from the ropes by the lifeguards, they grabbed water bottles and gulped down water.
Thirty-six ropes were used to send thirty-six scouts into the black hole. In the end, less than half of them returned. The rest were all killed by the monster during the investigation.
These scouts rested for a while and then came to Commander An You. This man with a huge hooked nose glanced coldly at the dirty and wounded scouts. Then, he asked in a deep voice, "How's the situation in the devil's den?"
Devil's den?
If Xia Fan and the others were present, they would definitely be shocked by An You's choice of words. He directly used the word 'devil's den'. Obviously, this place was the place where the devil lived.
"Just as we expected, although more than fifty percent of the aliens died on the spot when they were thrown into the devil's den, there were still many warriors who survived. These warriors performed well and served as cannon fodder for us. Not only did they kill many Demonic Ants, but they also caused the Demonic Ant Army that was gathered at the entrance to scatter. If we go down now, we definitely won't encounter too many obstacles! In short, we succeeded! "A tall and thin man who looked like the leader of the scout group said excitedly.
Demonic Ants?
This was another strange name. Those monsters looked like they had grown fangs and were humans who had turned evil due to genetic mutation. Why would the people of the God Slaying Society call them Demonic Ants? Could it be that these monsters belonged to a race that was similar to ants?
"Very good!" An You nodded and stretched out his right hand. "Give me the map!"
The leader of the scout group immediately took out a hand-drawn map that was stained with blood. He and his brothers had exchanged their lives for it. He treasured it and hid it under his armor.
An You unfolded the map. There were two maps. The first one was the entrance of the devil's den. There were hundreds of thousands of Demonic Ants guarding the entrance. Once humans came down, they would be devoured immediately. The huge red circle was the distribution of the Demonic Ants.
However, the situation on the second hand-drawn map had changed greatly. There were only a few Demonic Ants guarding the entrance. Most of the Demonic Ants had gone after the escaping humans. The red circle that represented the distribution of the Demonic Ants was a dot. It was obvious that the Demonic Ants had completely dispersed.
In addition, there were gray marks at the entrance of the devil's den. Those were the dead Demonic Ants. The collapse of the cave had not only killed a large number of foreign warriors who had been used as cannon fodder, but it had also crushed many of the enemies who had been guarding there. It seemed like killing two birds with one stone. An You did not care about those unlucky people from the inner region. The God Slaying Society was a group formed by defectors from the inner region. An You had never planned to recruit a large number of foreign warriors into the organization.
An You looked a little excited. He kept the map and stood at the edge of the devil's den. He raised his voice and said, "Brothers! The moment we've been waiting for is finally here! The last obstacle has been cleared. As long as we take down this devil's den, we will have the ability to fight evenly with the Three Major Alliances!
"After so many years of waiting, victory is right in front of us!
"The old god is dead, the new god shall rise!
"We've bypassed the heavy surveillance of the Three Major Alliances. We've secretly gathered here just for today!
"Now, I announce that the biggest and craziest battle since the establishment of the God Slaying Society, the Devil's Den Crusade, will begin immediately!
"Brothers, follow me!"
After saying that, An You took a few steps back and took a deep breath. Then, he sped up and rushed toward the devil's den!
* Swoosh! *
His figure leaped high into the air, followed closely by tens of thousands of carefully selected elites from the God Slaying Society, all leaping into the demon's den!
These people were once the investigators of the Three Major Alliances, the spies of the intelligence department, the main force of the army, and even the five-star generals who commanded thousands of troops. They were extremely powerful!
