Chapter 1674 - 424: Sorry, You’re Going to Be Disappointed

Chapter 1674: Chapter 424: Sorry, You’re Going to Be Disappointed

A strong sense of spatial distortion enveloped them, blurring everyone’s figures in the light.

In the next moment, the light faded, leaving the teleportation platform empty.

Only spatial ripples lingered, gently wafting.

Soon after the Life Soul Squad teleported away.

Death City, special training ground.

Heavy impacts echoed like drumbeats in the enclosed space.

The towering figure codenamed "Chong Yue" was furiously striking a training post.

His skin, rough as rock, steamed with sweat, each punch leaving a buzzing imprint on the post.

Just then, the spatial barrier of the training ground silently parted.

A nimble figure with sharp ears hurried in, stopping a few meters from Chong Yue, bowing respectfully:

"Captain, the Life Soul Squad has departed using teleportation array number 3."

Thud!

Upon hearing this, Chong Yue delivered a powerful punch to the training post, smashing it inward with a large dent.

The sound of twisted metal echoed in the space, the damaged part began to self-repair.

He gradually retracted his fist, stopping the training, as steam rose from his sturdy body.

Taking a deep breath, Chong Yue turned to his teammate, a cruel smile emerging on his face:

"Finally... they’ve made their move."

Saying this, his eyes ignited with fierce war intent.

The Life Soul Squad was special in his eyes.

In comparison to other Jile Player Teams, their numbers are few.

Yet their task completion efficiency was exceedingly high.

Prior to this, he had several brief encounters with the Life Soul Squad in Monster World.

The feeling they gave him was like they could quickly understand any scene they entered.

Including the abilities of monsters, even the hidden settings on the map, and so on.

This is the reason why his Bengshan Team consistently struggled to match the Life Soul Team’s points acquisition speed.

The gap in rewards between third and fourth on the rankings was significant.

His goal was always set on being number one.

The Life Soul Squad was the barrier blocking his path forward.

Because of this, he had threatened the Life Soul Squad’s captain multiple times.

But the other party simply ignored him.

Since negotiations failed, only force could solve this problem.

Erasing the Life Soul Squad, Bengshan Squad could naturally rise to third place on the rankings.

Then, there would be enough resources to compete for the number one spot on the rankings.

Now, the Life Soul Squad has set out for Monster World, their chance had arrived.

"Summon all members." Chong Yue’s voice suddenly escalated:

"Inform everyone, gather at teleport point 4, make sure they convert all their points to combat power."

The reporting team member immediately took the order, disappeared in a flash at the door.

Chong Yue twisted his thick neck, producing a crisp "click" sound.

Then he walked towards the nearby weapon rack, where a gigantic battle axe, comparable to the size of a door, hung.

He lifted it single-handedly, carried it on his shoulder, and then strode heavily towards the meeting point.

The entire Bengshan Team began to operate at full capacity in this moment.

...

On the other side.

The dizziness from teleportation receded like a tide.

In the eyes of Life Soul Squad members, the familiar purple sky unfolded.

And afar, the boundless ocean of crimson living plants swayed like coral forests.

This was not Yang Xiu’s first time here.

The scene on his map was labeled as: Tears of Crimson.

A plethora of plants, monsters here... he had decomposed these and recorded them in the library’s database.

Considered a relatively safe starting scene, with no hidden opportunities.

Teammates then formed a defense formation around him, weapons outward, eyes cautiously scanning the slowly writhing crimson plants, examining the environment for potential dangers.

Meanwhile, waiting for his command.

Suspecting plans to use the complex environment to set traps, or utilize familiarity with the terrain for tactical shifts, in response to possible incoming Bengshan Team.

Just as they thought, Yang Xiu issued an order:

"Action group, prepare the defense formation... build fortifications... scout group advance five miles to establish an alert perimeter..." Yang Xiu’s command sounded clear in the squad members’ ears, successively issued.

The Life Soul Squad immediately began efficient operations.

Although doubts remained in the teammates’ hearts.

Unable to understand why choose such a harsh environment to confront the pursuing Bengshan Team.

But with long-standing trust, they executed the orders without hesitation.

Power Barbarian led the action group to start utilizing the environment to construct defensive arrays.

Light Shield guided the members of the scout group to nearby areas to establish information feedback alert lines.

Just then, Yang Xiu took out a stack of pale silver sheets engraved with fine runes from his Space Bracelet.

"Here, everyone, stick this on your forehead." Saying this, he distributed the sheets to teammates around him.

Black Snake took the sheets, scrutinized them, discovered that they were "Clear Heart Talismans" purchased from the Jile Store.

The purpose was to calm the mind, resist a certain degree of spiritual interference, though the effect was very weak.

In the current situation, the appearance of this low-level item seemed particularly abrupt.

"Boss, what’s this...?" she asked softly, puzzled.

Other teammates also cast curious gazes.

"Don’t ask, follow orders."

Hearing this, teammates acted decisively, without inquiring further.

The answer to this question, Yang Xiu couldn’t articulate.

Knew all too well how brutal his fellow townsfolk were, having been one of them himself.
