Hei Deng Xia Huo
Chapter 856 Fling
Arashi Lion raised his massive head, gazing at the constantly shaking and trembling dome. It was as if he could see the rapidly collapsing floors above through the ceiling.
“Go.”
Arashi Lion turned to look at the three demon generals under his command. “The collapse will soon reach this area.
Starting from the tenth floor, you will sweep clean layer by layer, from bottom to top, leaving no one alive.”
The three demon generals lowered their heads in submission.
Qingqiu Fox waved his rapier, activated teleportation, and his figure disappeared.
The one-horned evil Flood Dragon writhed its massive serpentine body, swimming towards the opening in the dome.
The one-eyed, human-standing giant tortoise named “Shan Yan” bent his knees slightly, and his massive body leaped upward like a cannonball, jumping into the opening in the dome, disappearing into the darkness.
Arashi Lion turned his head to look at the four cultivators. “As for you…”
“Let’s go together.”
Dan Chenzi nodded. “We’ll leave this place to the Demon King and the members of the Order.”
Having said that, the four cultivators also flew into the opening, disappearing from sight.

Li Ang drove the armored vehicle, carrying Liu Wudai and the Zhufeng Society members, speeding through the complex terrain.
Beside them followed a wooden python, with Juzi, Bai Haozheng, and others sitting on its back.
Rumble—
The dome above split and collapsed, the metal skeleton buried within twisting and breaking, chunks of concrete falling onto the ground behind the armored vehicle, raising dust.
The collapse accelerated. Li Ang stepped on the accelerator, releasing divine power, causing a large number of plant vines and fleshy tentacles to grow from all parts of the vehicle body,
Transforming it into a Leviathan chariot similar to the one that appeared in the [High-Dimensional Hacking] scenario mission.
The vehicle's speed suddenly increased, drifting as it drove into a corner.
A massive number of machine beasts suddenly surged out of the tunnel next to the road ahead, led by various types of security guards, charging forward.
Players and the machine beast swarm raced side by side,
Having a tacit understanding not to attack each other, they sped through the collapsing floor towards the passage.
Clang!
The semi-botanical armored vehicle drove over a ramp, flying high, and like a golf ball, accurately fell towards the passage leading to the next floor.
Seeing that the vehicle’s front was about to crash into the passage wall due to inertia, a large number of plant vines suddenly grew out of the vehicle body, supporting the wall and keeping the vehicle vertically descending.
So this is divine power…
The Zhufeng Society members sitting in the armored vehicle silently thought the same thought. The energy fluctuation characteristics of divine power were quite unique, which just confirmed the Global Supernatural Alliance’s guess that Li Risheng possessed divine power and was a divine creature.
At this stage of the Killing Game, divinity was neither cheap nor rare,
Even if ordinary players obtained divinity, it would be difficult to utilize and make it effective.
Only by relying on large organizations could they obtain enough support.
Although Li Risheng had always presented himself as a lone wolf player, his relationship with the Special Affairs Bureau was quite good. Perhaps he had secretly joined the Special Affairs Bureau.
The machine beasts fell like a torrential rain beside them, piling up into a small mountain on the floor below.
The semi-botanical armored vehicle stretched out plant tentacles, landed on the edge of the machine beast mountain, and its tires spun at high speed, continuing to drive towards the next floor entrance.
“According to the map that the Zerg Nest gave us, several elevators on the 38th floor can directly descend to the 31st floor.”
Li Ang turned the steering wheel and said in a deep voice, “The collapse is accelerating. Relying solely on the vehicle, even with a map, we probably won’t make it in time.
We must take the elevator to have a chance of survival.”
Liu Wudai leaned his upper body out of the car window,
Drawing his bow and shooting arrows, blasting apart several falling rocks above, he took the time to glance at the instrument placed in front of the passenger seat, and said calmly, “The sound just now, after being detected by the analyzer, doesn’t belong to any animal on Earth.
The sound comes from all directions in the Lost World, but the loudest and strongest direction comes from somewhere between the tenth and fifteenth floors.”
“…That sound is very likely the cause of the floor collapse.”
Juzi, sitting cross-legged on the back of the wooden mechanical python, took a deep breath,
While controlling the wooden python to swim forward, he said in a deep voice, “If this continues, it will directly collapse to the bottom floor in three hours.
Whether this is a system arrangement or the work of so-called alien players,
It's forcing us to keep going down.
Staying here and being crushed by tons of rubble, even if we don’t die, we’ll lose our combat power and mobility, missing out on subsequent battles, and naturally won’t get any rewards.
We haven’t received any further notification of the Gate Seizing War, which means that the number of surviving players hasn’t dropped below fifty—which increases the possibility that the Zerg Nest isn’t deceiving us,
Maybe there really are alien transcendents kidnapping Earth players and taking them to the lower floors.”
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this,
According to the Zerg Nest's description, the overall strength of the alien players was higher than theirs,
And those aliens seemed to have some understanding of the Lost World and the Gate Seizing War rules.
“I wonder how the Zerg Nest is doing…”
Li Ang frowned slightly and asked without turning his head, “Are Ju Tianfu and the others still alive?”
“Alive.”
Bai Haozheng glanced at the life paper closely related to Ju Tianfu. The paper had not withered or changed color. “The Zerg Nest probably has already transferred them to a safe location,
However, Ju Tianfu's body should still be in a controlled environment—otherwise, he could have used continuously injuring and healing himself to gain an opportunity to communicate with the outside world.”
Having said that, Bai Haozheng glanced at Li Ang almost imperceptibly.
In the last Sheng Nan King mission, Li Risheng used this method to use Xing Hechou as a telephone to achieve ultra-long-distance communication.
However, ordinary people don’t have such efficient and low-cost healing abilities and can't replicate it.
“The Zerg Nest is moving faster than us.”
Alina said softly, “Ju Tianfu's frequency has completely disappeared from the communicator, exceeding the range of two thousand five hundred meters.”
“They can run so fast while dragging their families and belongings?”
Li Ang frowned, stepped on the accelerator again, and said in a low voice to everyone in the car, “Everyone sit tight, I’m going to accelerate.”

Squeak!
The giant elevator shaft twisted and bent, the steel walls on all sides constantly squeezing inward.
A demon named Duan Mian stepped on a floating metal plate, falling in the elevator shaft, chasing more than a dozen human players below.
It raised its arm and pointed remotely at the bottom, releasing gravity.
One of the Earth players pointed at by the finger stiffened first, and his limbs and torso were pulled by gravity in different directions, directly tearing him into several pieces. He didn't even have time to surrender and quit the game, and died on the spot.
Duan Mian pointed again, and gravity, in an unknown form, acted on another player across a long distance.
With a “tearing” sound, the player’s neck broke, and he floated up lightly like a kite, against gravity, along the shaft.
Seeing this, several players beside them showed horrified expressions, and their figures disappeared inexplicably—they chose to surrender and quit the game directly.
“Damn it!”
David almost gritted his teeth.
He looked up, listening to the whistling wind blowing past his ears, and threw the Judge’s Spear out violently.
The lightning-shimmering spear arrived in an instant, stabbing at Duan Mian, but was stopped by strong gravity ten meters away.
Duan Mian flicked his finger lightly, and the Judge’s Spear “dinged” and deeply chiseled into the wall next to it, burying the entire spear in the special steel.
However, taking advantage of this moment of distraction, David had already chiseled his palm into the elevator shaft wall, stopped the falling momentum, and together with Abel, kicked open a gap in the elevator door, allowing everyone to climb out of the elevator and arrive on the 27th floor of the Lost World.
They ran away?
There was no expression on Duan Mian's furry face. If David and the others had stayed in the elevator shaft for a while longer, maintaining a longer period of free fall,
It would have been able to cast a more advanced gravity manipulation ability, allowing these transcendents from Earth to withstand hundreds or even higher multiples of gravitational acceleration...
Too bad.
But it didn't matter.
Duan Mian stepped on the floating metal plate, slowly descending, came to the front of the elevator door, waved its finger,
The thick elevator door, as heavy as a city wall, suddenly popped open and slammed heavily on the ground, raising dust.
Outside the door were David, Abel, and others, facing a formidable enemy.
