Although Jiang Chen was very strong, and the people around him weren't weak either, there were just too many praying mantises. As the saying went, many ants could bite an elephant to death. They might very well be bitten to death.
"I can't, Jiang Chen, I can't hold on much longer!"
"I can't either. Am I really going to die here?"
"Damn it, after climbing this mountain and crossing that ridge, there's another pit in front of us. It's too hard for me."
After experiencing so many dangers, their situation would only become more and more difficult. These praying mantises had once again become the death god's sickle of their fate.
Seeing that Tong Ling was also injured, Jiang Chen frowned. These guys were really persistent. The monster beasts here had already become their greatest threat. No one knew how many monster beasts there were in the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest. There might even be an endless number of them.
…
Outside the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest, Tong Yao and a dozen Horsemen of the Apocalypse were standing guard. There were still four days until the end of the trial, but there was still no news. Her heart was pounding, as if something was about to happen.
As she gazed at the ancient bamboo swaying in the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest, Tong Yao felt that this trial wasn't going to be so simple.
The dusk light shone on the bamboo forest, making it gloomy.
Suddenly, several figures tore through the air. Tong Yao's expression tightened, and she held her breath. The newcomers were the vice-captain of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Zhang Tiance. He was also a Star rank powerhouse!
Zhang Tiance was clad in silver armor, and his eyes were like bronze bells as he stared straight ahead at the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest with a grim expression.
In the entire Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Zhang Tiance was an existence below only one and above everyone else. He had absolute authority and was a Star Grade powerhouse. Even in the Apocalypse Milky Way City, he was second to none.
Tong Yao didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent. She had only seen the vice-captain twice, and she only knew that he was a true Star rank powerhouse with unfathomable power.
Beside Zhang Tiance, Yu Huan was also there, along with two other guards. All of them had extremely gloomy expressions on their faces.
"Greetings, vice-captain."
Tong Yao and the others bowed cautiously.
Zhang Tiance nodded his head slightly and closed his eyes, causing the surrounding air to solidify. Tong Yao frowned her brows as an ominous feeling arose in her heart.
"There's a change in the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest. Let's go back."
Zhang Tiance said calmly.
"But, vice captain, all of the candidates are in the Hundred Ghosts Bamboo Forest. They … "
Tong Yao asked in a low voice.
After all, his sister was still inside. How could he go back now?
"It's impossible for them to come out again."
Zhang Tiance sighed.
Tong Yao's expression changed drastically as if she had been struck by lightning. She stared at Zhang Tiance in a daze.
"This is impossible, Vice Leader. This … this is impossible, right? My sister is still inside. "
Tong Yao said with a trembling voice.
"There's a change in the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest. Therefore, we must leave this place. They no longer have any chance of survival. Staying here is futile."
Zhang Tiance said solemnly.
"How could this be? How could this be? Please, Vice Guild Leader, please save them. My sister is still there. Please, Vice Guild Leader."
Tong Yao bit her lips, her expression extremely grave.
"Tong Yao! Don't forget who you are. A soldier's duty is to obey orders. As a member of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, how can you let your emotions affect your decisions? Hurry up and leave this place to avoid being implicated! "
Yu Huan shouted sternly.
Tong Yao was stunned, speechless for a moment. It seemed like this was the reason why she had been panicking for the past two days. Sister! Are you alright? Are you still alive? Could it be that there's been a change in the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest? Are you really …
"The city lord's mansion has issued a secret order to retreat fifteen kilometers from the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest and observe the situation. Even I can't enter. What I received was only an order from the city lord's mansion. Right now, the demonic energy in the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest is soaring into the sky, and the world has been turned upside down. We can't enter just for a few dozen disciples of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Even if the Horsemen of the Apocalypse are inside the forest, we must leave. This is an order from the city lord's mansion! "
Zhang Tiance's words made Tong Yao despair. The city lord's mansion was the core of the entire Apocalypse Planet and controlled the entire planet. Their orders were equivalent to the highest order. No matter what the reason was, they were completely abandoning them. Even the Horsemen of the Apocalypse were no exception. This was enough to show how dangerous this crisis was. The iron rule of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse was to never abandon anyone, but the city lord's mansion's decision made everything clear.
"Ling 'er, I'm sorry, I'm sorry …" Tong Yao muttered.
She didn't know how to explain this to her father or how to face herself. The demonic energy in the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest was soaring into the sky, and the black demonic energy was shrouding it. This was definitely a great omen.
"Retreat!"
Zhang Tiance's expression was solemn as he stared at the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest. It was like a bomb that could explode at any moment. Danger could descend at any moment.
Tong Yao was filled with unwillingness, but there was nothing she could do. Despair and grief were slowly growing in her heart!
At this time, the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest was already burning with the flames of war. Jiang Chen was leading Tong Ling and the others, preparing to break through the encirclement for the third time!
"Black King, make your move!"
Jiang Chen roared. The Black King stepped out and stood beside Jiang Chen, helping Jiang Chen as they began to break through the encirclement. This was already their third attempt. Jiang Chen didn't know if he could lead them out of the encirclement. However, there was no longer any chance for them to stop. If they did, they would only be sitting ducks. Hundreds of praying mantises forced them to retreat again and again. Apart from Jiang Chen, the others were once again in a deadlock.
The Black King's figure was like a black shadow wielding a dragonbone spear. He advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, killing without hesitation. At this time, the Black King had already recovered to the half-step Star rank. During this period of time, he had been silently cultivating at Jiang Chen's request, waiting for the day when he would amaze the world with a single brilliant feat!
The Black King's aura was like a rainbow. He stood beside Jiang Chen, helping Jiang Chen to cut through the enemy's rear, seizing cities and territories, killing over three thousand enemies.
"What a terrifying fellow. Who is this person? Why haven't I seen him before? "
"It's obvious that he's Brother Jiang's helper. Can't you tell? If we still can't break through this time, it means that we have reached the end of the road. "
"That person's strength doesn't seem to be any weaker than Brother Jiang. With the two of them leading the charge, we will definitely be able to break through this time. Do your best! "
"Yes, there will be no victory without bloodshed. If you dare to drag the emperor down from his high horse, we will be done!"
