In the wild.
Bloody Aquatic Dragon, a Class One Hall member, had just logged in and returned when he noticed that the atmosphere around him was off.
He could no longer hear the endless chatter of his party members. In fact, there was not even a hint of light. The small bonfire he had lit earlier was only left with the smell of ashes after it was extinguished.
There was also the smell of other people in the air, and it was a little unpleasant.
"That's not appropriate, right? Boys, I just logged off to eat and pay the fee, and you're slacking off and extinguishing the bonfire? Aren't you afraid that I'll report you and ask the branch master to deduct your contribution points?"
In the pitch-black wilderness, only his voice could be heard echoing.
It was so empty and desolate that it was terrifying.
A few seconds later, Bloody Aquatic Dragon frowned, and he subconsciously raised his voice.
"Alright! Stop fooling around, boys! Come out, someone has to stay here, right? "Once he finished speaking, he called out the names of the three people in his party.
No one answered him in the wild.
At that moment …
As time passed, Bloody Aquatic Dragon gradually became familiar with the dark environment, and he could see some outlines around him.
Xue Jiao jumped in fright when he saw it!
"Who is it?!"
He could see three people lying on the ground, and their postures were very off.
He bent down, and a pungent stench of blood rushed into his nose.
Unease and fear instantly rose in his heart. Cold air mixed with the stench of blood rushed into his chest, and Bloody Aquatic Dragon nearly fell on his butt.
He fumbled around and brought out a torch from his Universe Bag.
Whoosh!
The torch was lit when it was blown by the wind.
The light from the burning flames could be seen from ten miles away in the wild.
The devastating situation in the camp caused him to feel an astonishing chill from his bones. He felt as if his heart was gripped tightly by something, and he held the torch tightly while he looked at his three companions on the ground. They were in different postures when they were ambushed and killed. Their faces were already blurry, and their blood had dried up. Only the bonfire, which had been extinguished by people's messy footsteps, still exuded a faint warmth.
"Hiss …"
Bloody Aquatic Dragon sucked in a cold breath.
Then, he quickly extinguished the torch he had just lit, as if it was on fire.
When the fire was extinguished, the area instantly sank into darkness again.
From light to darkness …
Instantly, the Gorefiend Dragon lost its vision.
However, when his body returned to darkness, it washed away some of the fear in his heart.
He quickly came to a realization.
His three companions might not be old, but they were pretty strong in Class One Hall. Unless they ran into incredibly powerful elites, they would not be ambushed and killed before they even noticed the enemy getting close to them. Besides, none of them managed to escape.
Mu Clan!
In the entire Chinese server, only Mu Clan had this sort of strength.
Besides, Bloody Aquatic Dragon suddenly remembered that there was more than one bonfire in the wild. Class One Hall had set up a sentry point every two to three miles.
But now, when he looked around, the entire wilderness was pitch-black. There was no sign of life at all …
This meant that the people from Class One Hall were all dead.
"…"
Bloody Aquatic Dragon brought out a snow-white messenger pigeon with a pale face. Then, he gave up on it dejectedly.
"Darn it, Black Bear even said that we'll definitely be fine over the next two days. Mu Clan and the four sects are still waiting for the final charge. Now, something's wrong, isn't it?"
"… What should we do?"
'The people from Mu Clan might still be nearby and haven't left yet. If I light a fire and write a letter right now, I'll just be asking for my own death.' Bloody Aquatic Dragon thought about it very quickly. While he quickly left the place where he was previously, he thought of a plan. 'But there's no need for that. The person who died must have already sent a messenger pigeon to notify the people in the hall to be on guard.'
When he thought of this, Xue Jiao heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he sucked in a sharp breath.
'The people from Mu Clan should have gone to the Town of Kui. There aren't any shops within dozens of miles from here. Where should I go?'
Before he could finish his words, a cold aura suddenly assaulted him from the side.
Oh no!
Xue Jiao's reaction was relatively quick. Sensing the incoming killing intent, he opened his eyes and activated his protective barrier without hesitation, pushing his cultivation to the limit! His body shot in the opposite direction like a cannonball.
Hu!
The heavy sound of clothes rustling could be heard.
Thud! Thud!
The sound of two hidden weapons sinking into the ground rang out.
Xue Jiao had successfully avoided the sneak attack.
But before he could heave a sigh of relief, an even faster sword gleam pierced towards him …
The sword light brought with it the sound of wind and thunder!
An expert!!
Xue Jiao sucked in a sharp breath, and blood rushed to his head.
Unfortunately for him, this sudden explosive attack had practically used up all the strength in his body. In an instant, he could no longer mobilize his qi a second time, and he did not have the chance to dodge. He felt as if he was facing a saber, and his chest crashed into it!
Thud!
The sound of flesh being pierced was incredibly clear in the dark wilderness.
Xue Jiao only had time to let out a short grunt before he hung from his enemy's sword.
"Big Brother Knife! You're amazing! "
In the darkness, Xue Jiao could vaguely hear an unfamiliar young man cry out in surprise. "That person really pounced on you, Big Brother Knife."
"…"
Xue Jiao nearly coughed up blood again. 'I'm already dead, and I'm still being looked down on?'
But the person known as Big Brother Knife, who made Xue Jiao's heart tremble in fear, did not say a word. He waited until Xue Jiao's consciousness was completely destroyed …
Thud!
Knife pushed Xue Jiao's corpse away from him in a lackadaisical manner, and his gaze landed on his follower.
It was a freshman from the University of South China.
"Remember this! Since this is an ambush, before the enemy dies, shut up! "His tone was cold and firm.
The new boy was so terrified that he quickly nodded to show that he would not do it again.
Knife did not lecture him. He swept his gaze over the barren land before his eyes landed on the corpses. He mumbled under his breath.
He mumbled, "Thank goodness I stayed behind, or else, if you figured out that we don't have a lot of people on our side, all the people from Class One Hall will run out, and things will get really interesting!"
"Big Brother Knife, where are we going now?"
"We'll wait!"
Knife came from the military, and he was an incredibly strict person. When he faced the new boy, he did not have any desire to speak. His conversation with him was as simple as it could be.
But the newbie idolized the elite from Sky Demon Branch even more.
'An elite!
He should be colder! '
A few minutes later, the sound of a messenger pigeon rose in the wilderness.
Then, Knife's voice rose again.
"Let's go! Town of Kui! "
"Alright!"
The new boy was already familiar with Knife's style of speaking, and his words became simple and concise. He did not ask about the situation over there.
…
Town of Kui!
More than thirty Class One Hall elites held torches in their hands and surrounded five Mu Clan elites who walked out of the darkness in the dark street.
Even though the vice branch master had ordered Silver Extinguisher and the others to immediately break out of the encirclement and get a clear idea of how many people Mu Clan had, when he saw that there were only five people from Mu Clan when the torches illuminated the street, he still chose to get rid of the five people in front of him first.
Even though Mu Clan was the strongest sect in the Chinese server and had quite a number of elites, the five people in front of him looked very unfamiliar, and they should not have any background.
"The people from Mu Clan should have gone to the branch!"
"Let's end this quickly!"
Right when the vice branch master finished speaking, the five people in the encirclement put on thought-provoking smiles at the same time.
"We've been underestimated, Thunder."
