Looking at the golden light in the distance of the passage, the masked man stopped.
At such a distance, he could still feel the life fluctuations coming with the golden light.
Not weak, but a little strong.
The masked man stopped and watched, thinking about whether to go forward or retreat?
In fact, his thinking was unnecessary, but it was his habit.
The road ahead was the only way to return to the ground.
The structure of the underground ruins was similar to that of an ant's nest, with countless branches connecting the rooms of the [Ant's Nest], that is, the safe zone.
These branches were like roots, extending into the depths of the ground irregularly. However, the branches would eventually lead to relatively few main roads.
No matter how many routes there were to the ground, they would eventually pass through these main roads.
In front of the masked man was one of the main roads.
It was a simple passage, not a room.
However, the area of the main road was not inferior to the area of the ruins.
In fact, the place where they reached the second floor from the first floor was also one of the main roads.
No matter how many teams went from the bottom of the ruins to the ground, they were likely to meet in these main roads.
Therefore, the masked man's action of stopping and thinking was superfluous, because he had to pass through this main road to choose which branch to take to return to the ground.
Of course, this was not the only choice.
If he didn't want to take this road, he could go back the way he came, and then take a super big circle to converge to another main road.
But would the masked man choose this?
Obviously not. Even so, he still had to think carefully before making a decision.
He stood there and thought for about three minutes before he decided to move forward.
The life fluctuations coming with the golden light did not feel weak, but it was not enough to make him feel threatened.
And the golden light was Nitro's Hundred Style Guanyin.
The structure of the branches in the underground ruins was still a passage in the sense of the word from the shape.
Length, width, and even height were all in line with the word passage.
Therefore, the team did not face too much pressure in breaking out of the encirclement in the tunnel.
But when they came to the main road, the spacious space suddenly doubled their pressure.
Originally, they only needed to guard the front and back of the two lines of defense, but now they had to guard the front, back, left, and right, and the direction of the top.
In this way, facing a shocking number of copper mechanical life forms, the efficiency of breaking through would naturally be affected.
Nitro controlled the Hundred Styles Guanyin and bore most of the pressure on the team. With dazzling palm strikes, he destroyed the attacking copper mechanical lifeforms one after another.
It was not an exaggeration to say that under the assault of the Hunters' Association, many of the bronze mechanical life forms would fall every second.
Even so, no one in the Hunters' Association felt that the number of copper mechanical life forms had decreased after they broke through the safe zone's encirclement.
This kind of obvious phenomenon that they could not kill would not only bring them mental pressure, but would also dampen their enthusiasm.
That kind of blow was very weak, but it was like a puddle of water that would accumulate over time.
This was a hidden danger. It was like a hidden virus, waiting for the right time to erupt.
Fortunately, there was a two-star Frustration Hunter in the Hunters' Association team. He was Massa Saqiu of the Twelve Earthly Branches.
As the team continued to advance, he kept moving around and used his [Listen to Inner Voices] and [Eliminate Frustration] abilities to eliminate the negative emotions brought about by the copper mechanical life forms.
Therefore, the Hunters' Association team's enthusiasm was not dampened. On the contrary, they were very optimistic and believed that the team could successfully break through the encirclement and reach the surface.
As the Hunters' Association team slowly advanced, the sound of the copper mechanical life forms collapsing could be heard on the main road for a long time.
Although the appearance of the copper mechanical life forms did not match the word 'living creatures', every time Nitro destroyed a copper mechanical life form, the killing intent generated from it would be nourished and integrated into his aura, transforming into a more powerful attack.
This kind of nourishment was similar to a warrior's accumulation of power. It was the main reason why the masked man could sense Nitro's aura from far away.
At this moment, the association team was trying their best to break through the encirclement and had no idea that a maleficent existence was following them.
However, although the association team did not have a telekinesis user with rare abilities like Dongba, they had a telekinesis user like Crook who could set up a simple perimeter.
Due to the pressure of breaking through the encirclement, Mo Laowu had to use all his strength to control the smoke soldiers to join the battle, so he did not have the energy to set up a perimeter.
This task could only be handed over to Crook for the time being.
However, compared to Mo Laowu's ability to turn smoke into small animals and set up a perimeter, Crook's ability to set up a perimeter using the pigeons paled in comparison.
The main reason was that the number of pigeons brought into the underground ruins was limited, so they could not be of much use.
However, the pigeons that were placed at the back of the team were of great use.
The pigeons saw the masked man and their vision was transferred to Crook.
Seeing the masked man and the strange object in his hand, Crook was shocked.
Before he could take a closer look, the masked man suddenly threw an object and exploded the pigeons into a pile of minced meat.
At the same time, Crook's body trembled.
Most of the pigeons' senses before they died were transferred to her, so she could not hold back and let out a low scream.
Her scream immediately attracted the attention of her teammates.
"What's wrong?"
Kita Yoshida asked cautiously.
A thin layer of sweat seeped out of Crook's forehead. He raised his head to look at the rear of the team and said with difficulty, "Behind us, there's a masked man coming this way. He doesn't look easy to deal with, and he's holding a … strange thing."
Kita Yoshida's expression changed slightly and she quickly asked, "Distance?"
"500 meters!"
Crook replied quickly.
So close …!
Because the distance was too close, Kita Yoshida did not have the time to consider whether the masked man was on Bujand's side, nor did she have the time to ask in detail what the strange object was.
She used some of the techniques of the Release School to send this information to the ears of every member.
In less than a minute, every team member knew that there might be an enemy approaching from the back of the team.
Nitro was responsible for defending against the attack from the front of the team, and he also had to deal with most of the pressure of breaking through the encirclement. He did not have the energy to pay attention to the situation at the back of the team. He could only hope that the main combatants in charge of the back of the team could solve this problem.
The main combatants in charge of the back of the team were Ugly Bull Mi Laotun and Ungoat Yinda from the 12 Earthly Branches, as well as two elite hunters with strong combat ability.
They were also paying attention to the situation at the front while defeating the bronze mechanical life form.
After a while, they finally saw the masked man that Kita Yoshida mentioned, and the object in the masked man's hand was very exaggerated.
