Si Zang finished speaking in a rambling manner and looked at Tang Hong.

Tang Hong was a little dazed. He had never seen his junior brother so excited before. However, when Si Zang looked at him, he immediately said, "Ahem... Of course, these things are also related to evil politicians... Haha, to put it simply, any young person who is swept up in a similar ideological trend will inevitably develop a more extreme and explosive will."

"And then combine it with popular culture..." Tang Hong shrugged: "The aesthetics of death, the romantic idea of ​​dying like cherry blossoms."

Lin Feng nodded. The ideological deviations caused by environmental differences are extremely dangerous and deserve our attention, especially for the Yin-Yang School.

"In short, we may encounter other people on this mission. If we encounter overly extreme participants, we should not get too entangled with them unless we are absolutely certain of success."

As time went by, after talking about some people they might meet, the countdown gradually approached zero.

"Mandatory mission activated."

"The Pursuit Scroll was successfully used."

"Currently, there are 12 participants in the task."

"Filtering mission worlds..."

"Filtering complete!"

"Mission initiated!"

As the countdown ended, the large, blood-red characters that appeared instantly enveloped the four of them. The moment the number of participants was revealed, their hearts turned slightly cold.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful, shadowy sense of death descended, transforming into a gaping maw that opened from below, devouring their souls.

"!!!"

Startled awake from his daze of darkness, Lin Feng's heart clenched violently a few times before he finally opened his eyes.

Tang Hong stood before him, and it seemed that the other party had already woken up; Si Zang woke up a few seconds later, while Yu sat on the ground looking around them at a blood-red canyon that was piled with countless skeletons and stretched for dozens of miles.

Location: Valley of the Dead

"Task 1: Survive for 15 days and obtain at least 500 Nightmare Points before the mission ends."

"Task Two: Learn Magic (0/2)"

"Mission 3: Defeat humanoid monsters (0/3)."

Mission Four: Kill Merlin.

"Quest completion reward: 1000 Nightmare Points"

A bone, its gums gnawed out, rolled down from above the pile of bones, scattering the pale lettering made of bones in the Nightmare Space.

Caw caw... Several more leg bones rolled off the pile of bones. The monster, hidden behind the eye socket of a withered bone, pushed over the pile of bones, extended a pale, thin claw, and poked out a nose that was constantly dripping black slime.

"Monster - Graveyard Rat"

The fist-sized nose sniffed the air intensely, and the rat-like face, seemingly composed of countless unknown substances, seemed to have discovered something. It crawled over, its body half human and half rat-like.

Lin Feng and his three companions gathered together, and more tomb rats crawled out from the surrounding skeletons, wandering around the area, searching for the source of some intriguing aura.

The eerie atmosphere persisted; the mission start notification didn't appear immediately, and the rats only smelled something but didn't actually spot them.

"Special scroll detected, task generation in progress..."

"Task Five: Loot the Souls of Participants (0)"

"Task Six: Eliminate hostile participants (0)."

"Mission begins!"

New clues scattered from a pile of violently broken bones, and malevolent gazes immediately enveloped them from all sides, as if the supreme will of this terrifying place had revealed a sinister smile and reached out invisible hands towards them.

call!

Another monster emerged from the bones, its body ablaze with flames. It resembled a broken sphere with four limbs, waving its arms and spitting out a tongue of fire.

"Monster Fire Jack"

Fire Jack wore armor with spikes fused into his flesh, and a helmet with melted structure on his chest, flattened and covering his head, which was deformed by his body.

The scorching heat flowed as Fire Jack stood up, and the restlessness hidden in the air subtly disturbed their hearts, stirring up inexplicable desires.

Lin Feng's world blurred for a moment. The crawling tomb rats looked like twisted evil spirits with a savage grin. Behind the giant fire jack was a humanoid black shadow being devoured by desire. Together they were sinking into the world composed of the eyes of demons and howling in pain.

They are all human beings!

These monsters are all transformed humans!

"Explode!" Tang Hong threw a punch, and flowing light flashed from his fist, instantly piercing through Fire Jack.

The red-clad ghost soared into the air, its transparent soul instantly attracting the attention of all the demons and causing even more commotion.

Lin Feng immediately said, "There are no monsters on the cliff, but there is a forest on the left."

Si Zang stopped holding the tortoise shell and immediately added, "Go to the left!"

"You guys go first." Tang Hong made a grasping motion with both hands, then casually threw an even stronger punch towards the pile of bones on the left.

Bang!

With a loud bang, Tang Hong's fist, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, cleared a large area.

Jade immediately rushed out, the restless atmosphere affecting her mood. Her ghostly claws tore apart a rat that pounced on her, and she jumped onto another fire jack that crawled out of a pile of bones.

The monster was covered in more armor, and dripping molten iron began to flow from where it stood. In an instant, its massive body transformed into a ball of molten iron, which rolled toward them.

Just as Lin Feng was about to make a move, Tang Hong transformed into a blur and appeared in front of the monster.

He had already donned a pair of black gauntlets on his arms, and the buzzing sound of energy filled the air as he instantly annihilated the monster's head.

Such a violent willpower!

Lin Feng had this feeling when he first met Tang Hong, and now, looking at it again, it seems to be much more than that.

“In ancient times, some people practiced martial arts by imitating the shapes of animals. Later, some people described martial arts as overturning rivers and seas and bringing peace to the country.” Si Zang ran over and urged Lin Feng to run while explaining, “My senior brother is a nuclear power doctor. He was originally a weak and scholarly man who was preparing to work in science and technology. After going to the Dragon Tiger Gate mission world, he cultivated his martial arts into the form of a nuclear explosion.”

"When the fight starts, stay far away. Once he gets going, he won't be able to stop. If it weren't for the Nightmare Space, he would die every time he uses it."

"hiss!"

Doctor... Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine. No wonder this guy was able to secure a place in this ranking; no wonder his willpower attribute was described as too flat...

Nuclear Explosion Fist Intent...

At that moment, the explosion behind them turned into streaks of intense flashes of light. Just as the three of them climbed to the top of the canyon, Tang Hong clasped his fists together in front of him, creating a small energy circle. His figure then flew out amidst an even more intense white light, catching up with Lin Feng and the others.

Upon seeing the other party appear, Lin Feng and Yu both looked at Tang Hong in surprise. The latter's expression changed, and he casually stretched his shoulders and said, "They're all dead, but there's no kill reward. Judging from their corpses, it must have been after their souls were obliterated that they were considered truly killed."

"Hmm." Lin Feng nodded in response, and took out the data that Ironclad 99 and Digimon K3 had searched: "These monsters come from the world of soul sacrifice. Their magic does not need to be driven by magic power, but requires souls, bodies, special substances and so on to be sacrificed in equivalent form."

"The monsters we just saw were all humans who were driven by desires and eventually turned into monsters due to the backlash of magic."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he took out three tablets from his wing space and handed them to them: "It is worth noting that gods exist in this world."

"Soul sacrifice?" Tang Hong stared wide-eyed at him and asked bluntly, "Do you have some kind of shady connection with the Evil Yuan Dao?"

Si Zang chuckled inwardly and naturally looked at Lin Feng.

Tang Hong followed the gaze and continued, "There are 12 people. Four of us are in the Shadow Squad, four are in the Shadow Squad, and the remaining four are from the Evil Yuan Path?"
