“Wait a moment, our strength is not enough. When the Cyclops’ team arrives, we will enter together.” The speaker was the leader of the Indian team.

“Cyclops?” Wu Hai’s face changed when he heard this name.

Since he was hanging around in the Ancient God City, Wu Hai was somewhat familiar with some quasi-Star Realm experts.

Cyclops was very famous among the quasi-Star Realm experts. His real name was Chai Defu, a martial artist from Sand Russia. It was said that he was once a trainee of Huo Luofu’s previous term, coming from the Siberian Training Camp and being the champion of that term. Before Huo Luofu advanced to the quasi-Star Realm, he was already a quasi-Star Realm expert, and at that time, his strength could be called the first person under the Star Realm in Sand Russia.

However, Huo Luofu’s situation was not normal, and he suddenly advanced to the Star Realm, which only then surpassed him.

He also had a deputy named Warsaw, who was the runner-up of that term’s

Siberian Training Camp. These two were top-notch among the quasi-Star Realm, and Cyclops was known for his viciousness and cruelty, easily injuring people when provoked. Over this time, more than ten martial artists had already died at his hands.

Wu Hai was a little uncertain about having to cooperate with such a person.

At this time, a burst of laughter suddenly came: “Hahaha! You’re all still hesitating to enter, that’s fine. Later, just follow behind me and cheer me on!”

“He’s here!” The leader of the Indian team pointed over, and a five-member team from Sand Russia walked over.

Lin Zhen did not look back at the Sand Russian team first, but looked down at the compass in his hand.

On the compass, there were two relatively light black dots, which represented the strong ones among the quasi-Star Realm.

Then he looked back at the Sand Russian team. Among the five members of the Sand Russian team, two were quasi-Star Realm experts. One of them was not very tall, but wore an eyepatch, looking extremely fierce, with loose blond hair and holding a long knife in his hand. The aura he exuded was stronger than the other quasi-Star Realm experts present.

There was also a Spiritual Mind Master beside him, who was also in the quasi-Star Realm. Lin Zhen felt that his mental power was not much weaker than his own.

Lin Zhen didn’t know these two, but he recognized the three followers behind them; they were actually the three Sand Russian warriors from the War God’s Knockout!

Kip, Lanslow, and Adolf!

During the War God’s Knockout preliminaries, these three were eliminated by

Lin Zhen. Now more than three months later, they had reached the peak of Level 9, and it seemed that they were not far from advancing to the quasi-Star Realm.

Upon their arrival, this team immediately overshadowed the other several teams. The leader of the Indian team went forward to greet Cyclops.

Cyclops snorted and then looked around at the surrounding teams: “You all must have heard of the news about the holy artifact to be able to come here. I’ve heard about it too, but I’m not in a hurry. The holy artifacts can’t be taken by just anyone. As expected, none of you got your hands on it. It seems like you’ll still need my help.”

The teams were mocked by Cyclops, and their faces didn’t look good. At this time, Qin Huashang couldn’t help but speak up: “Mr. Chai Defu, since you are so powerful, why don’t you go in with your team? We will not follow.”

Cyclops Chai Defu’s fierce gaze flashed in his single eye, and he looked at Qin Huashang. First, he was amazed, then he sneered: “Woman from Hua Xia, do you know who you are talking to?”

“To you, can’t you hear me?” Qin Huashang, being fearless, didn’t fear Cyclops.

“Hehe, I won’t argue with you for now since you’re a beautiful woman, but I think your team leader would definitely disagree. Now my team is about to join forces with the Indian team to enter the Rage Dragon Beast’s lair. Whoever is willing to follow me, I will reward them. But if anyone refuses, they become my enemy, and I will kill them first before killing the Rage Dragon!”

After saying that, Chai Defu looked at the European Union team: “Are you going

The European Union team knew Chai Defu as well, and their leader was clearly more fearful of him. He hurriedly nodded and said, “We are willing to go in with you.”

Chai Defu nodded with satisfaction and looked at the African Union team: “What about you?”

The members of the African Union team looked at each other and knew it wasn’t a good time to disagree. Chai Defu was the kind of person who easily flipped his temper, so it was better not to provoke him. They also agreed.

“Hahaha, very good. Now it’s just you left, the team from Hua Xia. Would you like to be my enemy or my teammate? The choice is yours to make.”

After Chai Defu finished speaking, Warsaw, the Spiritual Mind Master behind him, also took a step forward. The two quasi-Star Realm experts stood side by side, their threatening intent very clear.

At this moment, Wu Hai had no other choice. He didn’t expect things to turn out this way and had no choice but to nod his head: “Alright, we join.”

“Very good, this is the choice a smart person should make. In that case, I’ll assign you tasks. Our team will be in the middle, with the Indian team taking the lead. I will be responsible for supporting them, the European Union team on the left, the African Union team on the right, and you fellows from Hua Xia will be guarding our rear. Is that acceptable?”

The Indian team was basically a Sand Russian subsidiary, so of course they had no objections. The African Union and European Union teams also didn’t object, and with Hua Xia in the rear, it didn’t seem too dangerous, so Wu Hai agreed as well.

“Alright, let’s get going.”

Chai Defu quickly organized the teams, and the twenty-five of them began to enter the Rage Dragon Beast’s lair.

At this time, it was noon, and the Rage Dragon Beasts were resting inside the cave. As they entered the entrance, they immediately felt the surrounding cold winds and a strong smell of blood.

After walking for about fifty meters, the light grew dimmer and dimmer.

“Watch your heads!”

Ahead, an Indian War God shouted, and suddenly countless giant bats flew out from all around!

Each bat had a wingspan of nearly three meters, with rat-like heads larger than pigs. Their mouths were filled with sharp tusks and they swooped down at the team.

“Hold your positions, fight!”

Chai Defu and his party were in the middle, so they received the least amount of attacks compared to the other teams.

The Indian team was the first to suffer, as countless bats swarmed them. Although a Quasi-Star Realm expert and several War Gods tried their best to counterattack, these bats were at least A-level, with surprisingly powerful strength. After a War God continuously killed several bats, one of them grabbed his shoulder, lifting him into the air.

Wu Hai’s side also began to face bigger pressures when the first Indian War God died. The Indian team dared not linger, so they accelerated their pace and quickly moved forward, further increasing the pressure on those behind.

“An Ming, you are a Spiritual Mind Master, use your flying sword to support us.

Help wherever there is danger!”

Lin Zhen stood in the middle of the five, waving his flying sword mainly to support Qin Huashang’s side. Meanwhile, he also paid attention to the other three people, maintaining a steady speed in line with the identity of a Golden Level Mind Master.

Another scream came from the left, as another European Union War God was grabbed by the bats and dragged away. He was soon torn to shreds.

Afterward, another African Union War God was killed on the right. This person was even a Spiritual Mind Master who tried to escape mid-air but was chased by more than a dozen bats. When he finally fell, only a skeleton remained.

“Damn! These bats are too fierce! How can there be so many creatures inside the Rage Dragon Cave? There are even quite a few Quasi-S-tiers among them.”

“Who knows? Bats are not considered strong creatures in this area, but they are numerous. Since the Rage Dragons don’t eat such relatively small prey, these creatures have gathered here.”

As the fight got more intense, the Indian team, with the support of the two Quasi-Star Realm experts from Sand Russia, finally pushed through the bat-infested area.

Just as the whole team was about to push through, Zhang Zhen’s side finally met danger.

Originally, Luo Fei and Zhang Zhen were quite close to each other to rely on one another, but Luo Fei unconsciously got closer to Qin Huashang’s side, leaving Zhang Zhen somewhat exposed.

Zhang Zhen, seeing he was about to be overrun by the bats, suddenly grabbed Luo Fei using him as a human shield.

Luo Fei couldn’t dodge in time and was immediately torn to shreds by the bats. Zhang Zhen took advantage of the situation to break through the bat-infested area. The bats seemed territorial and did not leave their nest too far behind.

Zhang Zhen showed no remorse for sacrificing Luo Fei. When Wu Hai looked at him, he even spoke self-righteously, “Captain, it was either him or me, I had no choice.”

Wu Hai did not say much. They have all witnessed too many deaths in the wilderness. Especially at the War God and Quasi-Star Realm stages, everyone’s life is extremely precious, and no one wants to die. Such situations were not uncommon.

Lin Zhen did not feel any emotional turmoil. Despite witnessing a lot of carnage, he was primarily concerned with what he could find inside the Rage Dragon’s Nest.

Having just arrived and already encountering various dangers, Lin Zhen believed that the journey ahead wouldn’t be easy, and wondered how many of the twenty-plus members would survive.

After they passed the bat-infested area, the cave was still gloomy and an increasingly strong smell of blood appeared, causing Qin Huashang to frown slightly: “Why does it smell so strong?”

“Blood, lots of blood,” Lin Zhen answered.

“Ah! So many bones!”

Someone ahead spoke. Turning a corner, a massive heap of bones came into view.

Describing it as a bone heap would be an understatement; it was more like a mountain of bones. Countless dragon and beast bones were piled up here, even several human bones.

Some of the bones were still fresh, with blood and flesh lingering on them, emitting a thick bloody smell.

“Everyone be careful! We may be entering the Rage Dragon’s territory soon.”

An Indian man in the front shouted, but before he finished speaking, a rustling sound echoed around.

“Snakes! So many snakes!”

Beneath the pile of bones, wave after wave of venomous snakes emerged. Each snake had a large head and was at least seven or eight meters long, with some even being more than ten or twenty meters. As they rolled and huddled together, their huge triangular heads and fiery red tongues were enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine..
