Chapter 29 What Are Those...

"What... what are those things..."

Ge Chan Luo Xing's voice trembled slightly. Just looking at the remotely transmitted images, he could feel the irresistible terrifying pressure emanating from the giant lions.

Inside Tie Ding Neng Ying's balaclava, moisture from his breath fogged the lenses.

He clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly, calming himself before whispering, "Judging from their sudden appearance and the belts they're wearing, they're likely players.

I've reviewed the files of all three hundred players who qualified for the Lost World, and they're definitely not among them."

"Could they be players from other worlds?"

Hei Se Mu Ma forced himself to calm down, saying in a deep voice, "Impossible...

Aren't players from other worlds just urban legends?

And this is only the penultimate stage. The final fifty players to compete for the gate haven't even been decided from the three hundred yet. How could players from other worlds intrude..."

"I don't know."

Tie Ding Neng Ying said softly, "I've already saved the footage I took.

However, they're not speaking any language from Earth, and the system isn't translating for us either.

To understand their conversations, we'll need more language samples, or use the [Comprehend Languages] skill directly in front of them."

"No! No contact."

Luo Ri Rong Jin suddenly said, "Let's go, we're leaving here. To the 11th floor.

They're 1.5 kilometers away in the seven o'clock direction above us, and a passage from the 10th to the 11th floor is 3 kilometers away in the one o'clock direction.

If we head there now, we can get to the 11th floor before they come down, and then go to the 12th and 13th floors."

Ge Chan Luo Xing was stunned, "But this door..."

"No buts."

Luo Ri Rong Jin raised his hand, ordering all the drones to land on the ground and retrieving them into his spatial equipment, while quickly saying, "If they really are players from other worlds, then this is no longer just a matter between guilds.

We need to inform others as soon as possible..."

*Boom!*

A loud noise from above interrupted Luo Ri Rong Jin.

The solid ceiling cracked, and countless stones fell like rain.

*Boom!*

Another loud noise shook the vast space, and the ground beneath the feet of Jin Ge Tie Ma's group trembled violently.

"Go!"

Luo Ri Rong Jin's expression changed drastically, shouting to his companions.

The next second, the ceiling shattered, and tons of rubble crashed down.

————

Lost World, 51st floor.

"Cough, cough—"

A hoarse cough echoed in the vast space. David lay sprawled on a giant brick, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained the surgical mirror fixed in the brick red.

Without changing his expression, he wiped the blood from the mirror's surface, inserted a scalpel into the opening he had already made in his abdomen, cut out the already green parts of his organs, and casually discarded them.

Then, using bio-sutures, he sewed the wound closed.

Finally, he used a healing skill to smooth the scars.

"Huff..."

David exhaled a breath of stale air, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and retrieved the surgical mirror into his backpack.

Standing up, he washed off the remaining blood with water from a bottle and looked at Abel, Cain, and Agares sitting not far away.

It had been more than ten hours since they surrounded Han Shui Shi,

But the jade long saber in Han Shui Shi's hand was still persistently and stubbornly inflicting damage, causing their limbs to become dull, their blood to congeal, and their internal organs to rot.

Every once in a while, they needed to cut out their internal organs to eliminate the toxins that would constantly regenerate.

Not fatal, just a little troublesome.

"Forty minutes left."

Cain glanced at the time on his watch and said softly, "We need to move. The collapse is coming to the 51st floor soon."

"Yeah."

David nodded silently. Having initially descended on the 55th floor, they had already discovered the Lost World's rules.

Every three hours, the uppermost floors would collapse and fall, completely burying the entire floor.

Players on the upper floors had to find the passage to the lower floors within the specified time to avoid being buried alive.

As for the reason for the collapse...

David raised his head, gazing at the dark ceiling, as if he could see through the thick bricks to the fifty giant tentacles above, closing together every three hours...

*Tap, tap, tap.*

Dull footsteps and the sound of metal breaking and twisting suddenly echoed in the empty, silent ruins.

As if some incredibly heavy "thing" was stepping on the metal wreckage and approaching.

David and Abel exchanged glances, with no ripples in their eyes.

They were all among the top 15 players in the individual combat rankings. Even Han Shui Shi, who ranked third, could only choose to flee and retreat when faced with their encirclement.

"Another type of security guard?

Good, I can eliminate them and collect more comics..."

David muttered to himself, single-handedly putting on a brand-new federal Bureau of Investigation Special Incidents Division standard suit.

In the other hand, he gripped a golden spear and slowly walked to the top of the bricks, gazing in the direction of the heavy footsteps.

That was...

David narrowed his eyes.

Five hundred meters away, in the extremely dim light, a burly figure slowly walked over.

It was a bear-like creature more than 4 meters long,

Its body was covered in messy black fur, and its face had a mask-like pattern of short white fur.

It wore a layer of crude, unattractive but heavy metal armor,

Its huge feet stepped on the metal wreckage, leaving clear footprints as if pressing tofu.

A beast?

Or another player's summon?

David tilted his head, weighing the perfect equipment called [Judgement Spear] in his hand, and casually threw it towards the armored black bear.

None of the players from the European Heavy Industries Group faction had such summoning skills, so he might as well attack.

Of course, to avoid the possibility of it being an internal NPC of the Lost World that he could communicate with and exploit for benefits,

David deliberately threw the spear a distance in front of the armored black bear, instead of directly at it.

This would both serve as a deterrent and allow him to observe the armored black bear's strength level.

The Judgement Spear lit up with a brilliant light, instantly crossing the five hundred-meter distance, but it failed to land on the ground.

David's pupils suddenly contracted.

On the back of the armored black bear, a colorful chameleon-like animal quietly appeared, sticking out its long tongue and wrapping around the golden spear.

The Judgement Spear emitted a dazzling light, constantly accelerating forward,

But the chameleon's tongue was as solid as a rock, and it didn't break free even after the spear had exhausted its light and energy.

"..."

The chameleon's bulging eyes, located on both sides of its head, first rotated irregularly for a while, and finally locked onto David in the distance.
