Understanding this, Chu Tian smiled and returned to the white, soft mud.
However, the bounty hunters chasing after them were not so lucky.
When they first entered, many people felt a surge of energy.
They discovered they had become much younger.
Some even reverted to their peak physical condition due to the reduction of ten years from their lives.
But upon reaching the second level, many were instantly turned into children of a few years old, terrifying them into fleeing back in a panic.
They gazed at the dividing line, hesitating to proceed.
Only a portion of the older individuals continued forward.
However, upon reaching the chasm, they encountered the same giant hand that Chu Tian and his companions had faced!
When the first person recklessly rushed forward, they were slapped into an infant by the suddenly appearing large hand, causing everyone else to freeze in fear.
"I originally thought this would be a simple matter, just with more competitors. I didn't expect it to be so dangerous!"
A man in his thirties narrowed his eyes, looking at the spot where the giant hand had vanished, his gaze flickering.
Having his years reduced by 20 to reach this point, this man was at least over 50.
As he finished speaking,
A woman of similar age standing beside him.
Gave him a sideways glance and said.
"Well, isn't this Mike? I never knew you were quite handsome in your youth, old man.
Why are you scared now? If you're afraid, hurry up and take your team back to Country D!
Heh heh heh..."
The woman speaking was also a Westerner with blonde hair and blue eyes.
After speaking, she let out a mocking laugh.
The man called Mike.
Didn't even lift his eyes.
He completely ignored the woman as if she were spewing nonsense.
After the woman finished laughing and saw Mike not paying attention to her, a hateful glint appeared in her eyes.
"Since no one wants to give up, then... I think we can cooperate!"
At this moment, someone spoke up.
Many people turned their gaze towards him.
"Cooperate?"
"Hmm... I suppose I'm the only wind-elemental ability user left here, right?"
"So what?"
"I have a skill that can allow everyone to fly!
This abyss is not narrow.
With mere jumping, you won't be able to cross.
However, that hand... we'll have to deal with it together, united.
Only then can we all get across!"
After the wind-elemental ability user finished speaking with a smile, everyone began to frown and ponder.
He was right.
Indeed, many present could not cross by simply jumping or gliding.
Moreover, they couldn't change direction while jumping or gliding.
With the giant hand blocking the way, evasion was impossible.
If they could float and fly gracefully like the wind-elemental ability user,
There was a chance to dodge the giant hand's attack.
"How are the speed and flexibility?"
Someone asked.
"It depends on your own strength. My skill merely converts the elemental energy you release!"
The person explained with a smile.
"I'll try!" Someone suddenly said.
"No problem!"
The other person readily agreed and waved his hand.
Wind elemental fluctuations attached themselves to the person.
The person slowly attempted to float upwards.
Then, in the air, they twisted and turned.
Seeing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
"How long can this skill last?"
"If applied to so many people simultaneously, it should last for 5 minutes!"
The wind-elemental ability user maintained his smile.
"Count me in."
The man who spoke was the one previously called Mike.
As he spoke, others also chimed in.
Almost everyone decided to cooperate and cross together.
However, among the group, only 8 people remained silent.
These 8 individuals stood to the side.
Dressed in long white robes, they remained unmoved.
The wind-elemental ability user glanced at them.
Were they sleeping? They simply turned their backs to him.
The wind-elemental ability user pouted.
After all, this was voluntary.
He couldn't force them.
But he didn't care. Others, however, felt differently.
"You few, do you plan to take advantage? If you don't want to participate, then quickly leave this place, or don't blame me..."
*Whoosh...*
"Ugh..."
This person was one of the previous woman's team members.
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a *whoosh*.
Then, clutching his throat, he looked on in disbelief.
A stream of blood gushed from between his fingers.
However, the arrogant woman's gaze sharpened.
She watched the person behind her fall.
Then she looked at the ground, at the slowly drifting feather.
The feather was stained blood-red.
It was precisely because of this feather that she dared not move.
Even the words that were about to leave her mouth.
Were swallowed back.
Everyone else also fell silent, not daring to speak.
Those who could reach this place were all older individuals.
Having spent half their lives in this world,
How could they not recognize that feather?
It belonged to the number one ranked team on the dark web, a team no one had ever seen... Angels!
It was said that all who had seen them had already become souls of the departed.
There was a description on record.
When Angels appear, blood feathers fall!
This described their method of killing.
Many speculated whether the Angel team was truly composed of angels.
Of course, this notion was questioned by countless people.
More believed they were fallen angels.
Angels symbolized light.
Only fallen angels killed invisibly, treating human lives like weeds.
This was the first time the Angel team had appeared before the public.
These spiritual energy crystals were truly priceless.
Even the Angel team had come.
Upon seeing the blood-stained feather fall,
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
After all, those who had encountered the Angel team before were now all buried six feet under.
Would they kill innocent people indiscriminately?
Suddenly, there was an urge to flee.
However, seeing that the one who had spoken out had been eliminated.
The Angel team members made no further attacks.
Everyone's hearts gradually calmed down.
The crowd exchanged glances.
Finally, the wind-elemental ability user spoke again.
"Let's get past this place first!"
With that, he waved his hands repeatedly.
Everyone was imbued with the flying skill.
Everyone also wanted to leave this place quickly.
Standing next to the 8 grim reapers of the Angel team felt utterly uncomfortable.
Thus, everyone began to float.
All gathering together!
Preparing to break through this abyss.
This was their pre-arranged plan: everyone must unite and unleash their strongest attack.
They were determined to shatter that giant hand.
*Boom...*
As expected, when the first person stepped into the air above the abyss.
The dormant monstrous hand reappeared.
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...*
Countless elemental and magical abilities were unleashed.
There were also mutated individuals and martial artists.
Who drew their weapons.
Only nine people remained at the edge of the great chasm.
Eight were members of the Angel team.
And the ninth was the wind-elemental ability user.
