In the hunting ground.
Dun Jun was lying in the shadows. His body was covered with mud and moss, and he looked like a small mound that wasn't too protruding.
He had maintained this disguise for several Crimson Moons.
Dun Jun was like a beast ready to hunt, quietly waiting for his prey to take the bait.
"It's already the seventh day …"
His thoughts started to wander.
Seven days ago, Dun Jun and all the participants of the Abyss game from downtown were scattered in this "hunting ground."
It had a fixed boundary that ordinary people couldn't cross.
Tens of thousands of participants were randomly placed inside, armed with weapons and two days' worth of food, and began to fight.
And this area would even constantly shrink. A certain Beyonder from uptown had used his ability to create a fixed form of poisonous fog that wouldn't be blown away by the wind.
The fog would approach the center every once in a while, forcing the participants to move toward the center and kill each other.
In the past seven days, Dun Jun had killed a lot of people, been chased, and seen all kinds of evil. In order to survive, the participants were willing to pay any price.
Once, there was a good-looking woman who wanted to use her beauty in exchange for food and protection, but Dun Jun cut her throat.
After she fell, he found a large number of poisoned needles on her body.
Thanks to the special training in the dream that night, Dun Jun had survived to this day, but he wasn't sure if he could be the final winner.
Because those d * mn rich people from uptown had added some monsters to the hunting ground.
They came from the wilderness outside the city. They looked strange and had disgusting pus flowing on their surface.
Dun Jun had once encountered one, and he was very glad that it chose to chase another participant, otherwise he would probably be dead.
And he had heard that these monsters, which were only slightly stronger and faster, were like rats in the wilderness, and there were monsters that were even stranger and more terrifying than them wandering around.
For Dun Jun, this was just another unrealistic thought of escaping into the wilderness being interrupted, making his own plans even more resolute.
At this moment, Dun Jun's eyes focused, and he became highly focused.
He saw his "prey"!
A figure holding a crossbow was moving quickly, as if he was avoiding something.
This made him slightly relax his observation of the surrounding environment, and he didn't find Dun Jun, who was well-hidden.
It was getting closer, even closer!
Dun Jun's heart skipped a beat. "Why is it him?"
He recognized this young man. He could be considered a friend. He was a golden-haired big boy called Enke. When he smiled, there were two cute dimples.
Unexpectedly, the other party had also participated in this game!
For a moment, Dun Jun hesitated.
Was he going to make a move? Kill my friend?
Under the gazes of an unknown number of spectators?
However, even if they did not make a move, they were still destined to lose members as the blue circle continued to shrink.
In the end, there would only be one winner, or even none!
Looking at the approaching figure, Dun Jun made up his mind.
He gripped the dagger tightly, his body already beginning to gather strength.
When Enke got close to him, he suddenly jumped up and pounced towards Enke's back.
The next moment, Enke suddenly turned around. The two of them approached each other so quickly that they could see each other's faces.
Dun Jun could also see that the crossbow in Enke's hand was already raised, ready to fire.
'Not good, it's a trap!'
'He noticed me? '
All the pores on Dun Jun's body tightened, and his heart was filled with despair. However, his body continued to move forward under the influence of inertia.
Dang!
The sound of the crossbow being fired was heard.
Dun Jun did not feel any pain, the dagger in his hand had already pierced into the gap between Enke's ribs, and he twisted it hard.
Bam!
Enke fell backward, blood flowed out of his mouth.
Bam!!
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard behind him.
Dun Jun turned around and saw a disgusting monster with a bull's head and a human's body, with pus flowing out of its skin. It had an arrow in its eye socket and was lying on the ground.
'I … Its target … is me!'
Dun Jun looked at Enke with a blank expression, 'Enke wanted to save me? And I … killed him? No … '
He immediately crouched down and blocked the wound on Enke's heart. "No … Enke … I'm sorry …"
Enke struggled for a while, his eyes turned deathly grey.
He was dead.
"Ah!"
Dun Jun's eyes were tearing up, he wanted to raise his head and scream, but he was afraid of attracting other predators, so he could only cover his mouth and struggle on the ground.
…
This scene also turned into a magical image, it appeared in a theater in uptown.
"Oh, oh!"
Many well-dressed gentlemen and ladies exclaimed in surprise.
"No matter how many times I see this kind of deepest despair, it's always very emotional …"
A well-dressed lady covered her face with a folding fan and laughed like an oriole.
"Lady Alice, this is our usual arrangement …"
A middle-aged gentleman next to her said with a smile, "When signing up, priority is given to friends, husband and wife, siblings, and even father and son … Also, make sure to keep it confidential … This way, there will occasionally be such an exciting show … The choice of the little guy with the crossbow didn't surprise me. I've seen many similar choices, and many opposite choices … Whether it's the living or the dead, their death, sorrow, pain, and despair … are the best fuel!"
"Then … do you have enough savings?"
Alice asked.
"Enough, there are about a hundred people left, we can start."
The middle-aged man said with a hint of fanaticism, "I bet that one of them can survive …"
"Oh, hehe … then I bet … none of them. After all, they are ordinary people without any preparation, they will have to face the real 'Hell'!"
Lady Alice laughed.
"Then, let us wait and see … activate the 'Witching Moment'!"
The middle-aged man stood up and said loudly.
This was strictly kept secret from downtown.
The Witching Moment … it was a magical item with powerful functions, unearthed from the ruins, and it was the main source of extraordinary people in the City of Steam today!
That's right!
Since the destruction and rebirth of the universe, the rules of the world had changed to a certain extent, and some extraordinary paths left by prehistoric civilizations could not be chosen again.
The terrifying pollution was buried underground.
In the beginning, humans in this world had to fight against all kinds of freaks as ordinary people.
Until they discovered a little truth of the world.
Only mystery could breed extraordinary things!
And all the mysteries were located underground, in that filthy hell and abyss!
In this world, the only way to become an extraordinary was to sink into the abyss of hell, and obtain 'mystery' from the wreckage of the old days!
The Witching Moment was a tool that could make the creatures in an area sink into hell!
