The martial artists were caught in an impossible dilemma.

The infected ground seemed to have become the enemy's domain; no matter where they hid, they would be easily discovered. If they wanted to escape, they first had to face the nearly ten-meter-high pit wall and those bizarre black tentacles. Once caught, it would be difficult to break free on their own. And if they fought to the death, everyone could feel the powerful pressure emanating from the enemy—not everyone dared to step forward and face the challenge of death when facing an opponent with such a vast difference in strength.

The only one who chose this path was Fei Yuhan.

"You go first!"

Her clear voice came through the earpiece, and a white figure rushed out of the darkness, heading towards the magic creature, facing a cluster of blocking tentacles. The light emanating from her body was clearly visible, which was the manifestation of the release of natural power. Before this, she could only make it wrap around her arms.

The writhing tentacles lunged like venomous snakes, but Fei Yuhan dodged left and right, using her footwork. Several times, they brushed past her side. Only when it was impossible to avoid did she turn her fist into a palm, cutting off the tentacles in unison—the white light gathered in front of her fingers into a sharp cone, like a retractable sleeve sword.

Seeing this, the other martial artists fled from their hiding places, running towards the pit wall closest to them.

You Long Gongzi rushed to the front.

"How laughable, you think you can escape my domain like this?"

The magic creature raised its long arm and slapped the captain running in the front—the seemingly unreachable arm suddenly swelled several times, becoming long and thick in the blink of an eye!

Although You Long Gongzi turned around and made a blocking posture at the last moment, realizing the situation was bad, and a dazzling light burst from his hand, it only flickered twice before he was smashed into the dirt along with the giant hand!

After a loud bang, even the bottom of the pit was pressed into a deep gully by this strike, and the concrete rubble lying in the path was turned into a layer of dust.

When the opponent raised its hand again, only a flattened pile of flesh remained in the gully.

The magic creature rolled up the bloody body and mud and stuffed it into the "rift" beneath it. In an instant, the erosion seemed to have expanded a lot.

It was using the martial artists' core cyclones to widen the channel of erosion, Roland realized. For some reason, a sense of inexplicable displeasure arose in his heart, as if someone had taken something of his—those cyclones... should have belonged to this world, to him.

He couldn't tolerate this guy running rampant any longer.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Phyllis and Tyne also appeared behind him at this moment. "This sinkhole is almost full of tentacles."

"Of course, we'll kill the opponent before reinforcements arrive—but this process can't be seen by anyone," Roland patted Ling's head. "Go knock out those guys who haven't been dragged away by the tentacles yet. Be quick, and give me a signal when you're done."

"This is simple, I'm going... glug glug..." Ling responded and dived into the shadows.

"After that, it's a frontal breakthrough." He looked at the enemy's nearly ten-meter-high body—although he had experience fighting similar opponents, and knew that as long as he pulled out the star plate in the center of the magic body, he could disintegrate the enemy, but how to get close to that position was a new problem. After thinking for a moment, Roland pulled Phyllis aside and whispered to her.

"Your Majesty, how can this be—" Phyllis said in surprise.

"I said it's okay, solving the problem is the most important thing right now," he interrupted without容置疑, "That's an order!"

"Yes..." The other party hesitated for a moment, but still agreed. "I understand."

"Then there's only one troublesome guy left," Roland frowned, looking at Fei Yuhan. She had been knocked away twice by the enemy, and blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth and her body, but she still stubbornly got up from the ground and launched an attack towards the behemoth several times her size.

Although she was injured in many places, and her movements were no longer as agile as before, her momentum had not diminished at all. She didn't look like a trapped beast in a desperate situation, but rather a stubborn stone exposing its sharp edges in a torrent.

It's just that there are more and more tentacles blocking her. Just dealing with attacks from all directions is already extremely dangerous. In addition, the enemy's main body has unpredictable hands, so it is almost impossible to get close to the opponent. If the magic creature hadn't put most of its attention on chasing down those escaping martial artists, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.

Because she was in the center of the scarlet blood, Ling couldn't sneak in silently, so she could only hope that she would fall down.

"Your Majesty, I've knocked everyone out." Ling's voice suddenly sounded in the earpiece.

"Well done—" What a load of nonsense! Roland reacted halfway through his sentence. This earpiece channel was for the whole team! Fei Yuhan was also obviously stunned, and staggered under her feet. It was this flaw that caused her to be knocked away by the giant hand for the third time, and the white light covering her body completely dissipated, obviously losing consciousness.

"Now!" Roland shouted, gritting his teeth. Although there was a small flaw in the plan, he finally found an opportunity—

"Sorry, excuse me!" Phyllis opened the magic claws behind her, grabbed his ankles, and then started spinning in place! Roland immediately felt dizzy, and the contents of his stomach were about to surge into his throat—when the rotation speed reached its highest point, Phyllis suddenly released the magic claws. Under the effect of inertia, he flew straight towards the magic creature like an arrow leaving the string!

The enemy discovered the "unidentified object" rushing towards it the moment it left the cover of the "Lightless Curtain". It threw down those knocked out martial artists and reached out to slap Roland, its posture no different from swatting a fly.

However, the feeling of impact did not arrive as expected.

Roland easily penetrated the dark arm and crashed into its chest. Its tall and burly body was no longer indestructible, but seemed to have returned to its original form—a fictional illusion.

The magic creature let out a terrified roar. After a while, it seemed to suddenly understand, "So it's you—you still didn't heed my advice!"

Roland held the spinning star plate in its chest with both hands and pulled hard. The crimson star system gradually turned blue and white, and the power in his body was singing and cheering, as if expecting something. "Could it be that the one last time was your brother? Sorry, he was a bit slurred, and I didn't hear what advice he left behind."

"’We’ are all one—" The voice of the magic creature also began to distort. "Stop your foolish actions, this is the last warning! Otherwise everything will be irreparable—all things will return to nothingness, tens of millions... of accumulations will also be destroyed, such a crime... is not something you can bear..."

Its voice stopped abruptly when the star plate was pulled out.

The dazzling white light rose into the sky, almost illuminating the entire bottom of the pit. An unspeakable sense of satisfaction filled Roland's entire body, as if a request had been answered.

The heartbeat of the earth seemed to be much clearer again.

For a moment, he felt that he had formed a whole with this world.

...

In the chaotic realm of consciousness, the Nightmare suddenly opened its eyes!

Just now, it felt an unprecedented rhythm, like a melody occasionally played by chaotic waves, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding chaos.

When tracking the connection of the fragments of inheritance before, it had a similar experience, but several deep dives ended in failure. After all, the lower consciousness is extremely complex, and one could easily get lost if one was not careful.

But this time it was much clearer.

This proves that the location that triggered the rhythm is nearby.

Lady Vakiris slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

——It had found the other party's trail.
