Chapter 974 - Exposed (2/2)

Besides, the energy level here was twice as thick compared to the outside.

However, this place was filled with rotting evil.

Hehehe!

A somber, eerie laugh arose around them. It belonged to the resented specters.

More than a hundred specters revealed themselves out of thin air. The specters must have sensed the presence of the SS-tier. They lingered aimlessly and did not approach the party.

“Who wishes to go first?” Zolls glanced at the eight S-tiers maliciously.

Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai were plotting to kill Qin Feng as quickly as possible. Thus, Shao Tai could not wait to suggest, “This guy is only an A4-tier. He would be useless later on. Let him go now and he would still have some use.”

In fact, if Qin Feng was really that useless, then Shao Tai could be considered hopeless.

Nevertheless, Zolls agreed with what Shao Tai was saying. He nodded and ordered, “You will be the first.”

“Wait!” Qin Feng spoke through his consciousness. Shao Tai and Voodoo Lord became tense. They were worried that Qin Feng might use some gimmick to direct the arrow at them instead.

Without the weird sunray, Qin Feng’s dark runes were in action again. He could once again conceal his true form.

But what had been exposed could not be reversed.

“You are not willing to comply? You should know that I can kill you anytime and take over your body as I wish. Go immediately if you still treasure your life. If you do well, I will have someone replace you.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to comply. But this is my first time here. Do you expect me to succeed without telling me anything? Should I just go and waste my chance?”

Zolls was stunned. Qin Feng coming here without knowing anything did surprise him.

At least, he was still being reasonable and explained it to Qin Feng, “Lure the specters and keep running for ten thousand meters. I will have someone replace you once you have succeeded.” Zolls did not want Qin Feng to feel despair, so he suggested a change every ten thousand meters. But his consciousness became fierce and he warned Qin Feng sternly, “Don’t you dare play any tricks. Petty tricks always don’t end well under my watch, remember that.”

“Alright, alright!”

While they were talking, more specters had gathered and they were growing restless. Finally, the specters could no longer resist the temptation of human scent and charged at them.

“Go now, or I will kill you!” Zolls shouted.

Even to an SS-tier, being surrounded by hundreds of specters in this dark place was rather dangerous. That was why they needed a relay of cannon fodders.

These specters would not pursue too far. However, they were everywhere in this pitch-black darkness.

Right now, a lot of S-tiers had been worked by their respective SS-tier abusers to lure the specters. In Zolls’s group, Qin Feng was the first cannon fodder sent out. He did not tempt fate and ran obediently at the front to draw away the specters.

After one week, Qin Feng had studied the behavior of these specters well. He had killed thousands of them during the night. This number chasing him now was not enough to dazzle him.

That was why he seemed oddly relaxed despite being hounded by a large band of shadows. Zolls did not bring along the Shuttle Whale and jogged closely behind him and the specters.

Though the Shuttle Whale was also a spatial beast, it was not as skilled as Bai Li. The best it could do in this high-pressure environment was to open a spatial tunnel. It was Zolls’s last resort to escape if things got dire.

Like Zolls, other SS-tiers had something up their sleeves to get away in the direst of moments. But whether an S-tier could escape unscathed largely depended on luck.

Qin Feng continued to sprint forward. The surrounding was still shrouded by impenetrable darkness. However, it did not obstruct Qin Feng’s vision. In fact, he could see clearer in here.

Indeed, he was running through a valley. However, the sensation on the ground was a little different than a normal mountain route. There was also no vegetation around this valley.

‘This place is called Dragonspine Valley. Am I running on the spine of Bahamut now?’
