Blood sacrifice, a skill that strikes fear into the hearts of mages, was something Su Yue had encountered in his previous life.
The Orchid Mantis King will not use this skill if only a few people are attacking it.
It will only activate this skill when there are more than ten people on the battlefield.
The range of a skill is closely related to the total amount of blood that can be gathered on the battlefield.
The damage might not be significant for Su Yue right now, but it could be devastating for others.
Su Yue killed thousands of zombies, and the Orchid Mantis King used their blood to finally expand the range of this skill to a large enough extent.
People began to panic and retreated, trying to escape this blood-soaked prison.
However, the moment they touched the edge of the cage, which resembled a bloodline, their bodies were instantly sliced into pieces, splattering blood everywhere.
Soon, the blood of these people merged into this bloodline, making it even more dazzling.
The Orchid Mantis King was finally able to catch its breath, quietly concealing itself and recovering its lost vitality in the shadows.
At the same time, with the help of a continuous flow of blood, under the effect of the Blood Sacrifice skill, it ruthlessly harvests the life force of the remaining life within the barrier.
Those with higher physical attributes and who carry medicine with them can barely hold on for a little longer.
However, those who plan to switch to becoming mages or Taoists already have low physical attributes. Without potions, they cannot use skills and are essentially waiting to die.
They surrounded the Dragon Group members, their eyes filled with deep fear and despair.
"Sir! Say something! What should we do now?"
"Manager Hao! You promised that the Dragon Group would ensure our safety, so please think of a solution quickly!"
"Hao Weimin! This is all your fault! Lone Wolf clearly warned you not to go, but you insisted on going to compete for that BOSS! ...Pfft!"
One of the men who had followed suddenly spurted blood, which splattered all over Hao Weimin's face, before collapsing to the ground with his eyes wide open in death.
As the first person fell, fear spread like wildfire among the crowd, plunging them into complete chaos.
Every second thereafter, someone collapsed to the ground, was drained of blood, and had their eyes wide open.
When several members of the Dragon Group took out small red bottles, preparing to replenish their vitality.
However, it was immediately looted by the surrounding crowd, making the scene even more chaotic.
Su Yue was already used to such scenes.
In the end times, when life and death are at stake, people's selfish nature is fully exposed.
However, Su Yue was completely unharmed under the protection of the Shield of No Light.
Instead, the corrosive effect on the skin causes continuous poison-based damage to the Orchid Mantis King.
Unexpectedly, it was Liu Mazi who broke the silence first and spoke to Su Yue.
Aside from Su Yue, their third team was closest to the BOSS, and thus became the first victims to suffer damage from the Blood Sacrifice.
"Boss Lone Wolf, please, please make a move!"
The members of the third team echoed each other, beginning to blame Hao Weimin: "Boss Lone Wolf, we were wrong! It's not our fault. The grievances should be attributed to the culprits. It was Hao Weimin who forced us to come!"
They all pointed to Hao Weimin in the distance.
The others quickly realized that seeking help from Hao Weimin wouldn't solve the problem.
Only if the lone wolf defeats the BOSS can the barrier be lifted naturally.
They were extremely anxious, seeing that Su Yue remained unmoved by Liu Mazi's threats, and began to frantically question Su Yue:
"Lone Wolf, you are a hero of Star City. Shouldn't you protect us helpless people?"
"Lone Wolf, stop drinking your medicine and hurry up and attack! Can't you see we're all about to die?"
"Lone Wolf, don't forget there are countless eyes watching outside! If we die here, once word gets out, your heroic image will be completely ruined..."
However, the last person to speak did not die from the blood sacrifice, but was instantly pierced through the mouth by an arrow shot by Su Yue!
"Hero? Let whoever wants to be one be one!"
In the apocalypse, true strong people never care about the opinions of others.
Su Yue, on the other hand, never aspired to be some kind of hero.
Suddenly, the once noisy crowd fell into dead silence. The legendary "Lone Wolf" was indeed so ruthless!
Su Yue remained unmoved. His original force of several hundred men had dwindled to just a few dozen on the field.
Hao Weimin finally mustered up his courage and stepped forward.
At this critical moment, with his life hanging in the balance, he felt he had lowered his voice considerably and said in a deep voice:
"Lone Wolf, although I was in the wrong first and I've already admitted it, what more do you want? Does being in the wrong mean you won't help us? Isn't helping others everyone's duty?"
Hao Weimin was one of the most disgusting superiors to him in his previous life within the Dragon Group.
His hypocritical nature hasn't changed at all!
"Do you know what my name means? Lone Wolf, I live only for myself! Anyone who dares to challenge my bottom line will die!" Su Yue stated calmly with a cold smile on his lips.
As for where exactly this bottom line lies?
The bottom line is flexible, and the right to interpret it rests with Su Yue.
The next second, the crossbow, having completed its charging, unleashed an explosive arrow that shot towards Hao Weimin with lightning speed.
The arrow sliced through the air, leaving a trail of lightning and sparks, completely clearing a ten-meter radius around Hao Weimin!
"Alright! It's your turn!" Su Yue's gaze fell on the Orchid Mantis King, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines in the corner.
Due to the corrosive effects on its skin, the relentless backlash from the poison meant its condition wasn't much better.
