Chapter 258: 257 Heading to the Ruins!

“Roar~!”

A earth-shattering roar erupted, followed by the appearance of a massive red dragon with enormous wings in the Red Earth region at the center.

This was a creature with a body like a dinosaur, but with an additional pair of wings.

Its dragon form was very different from that of Long Aotian’s transformation. Even though they were both called dragons, the difference was quite significant.

“Just a winged reptile daring to call itself a dragon...”

In the crowd, a young man with dragon horns commented under his breath.

He was a descendant of the Dragon Clan. Every time Big Dragon appeared, he would make a critique, informing everyone that this was not a dragon!

But there was no choice, the name Big Dragon had been passed down from ages ago. No one knew who originally came up with this name but they continued to call it so.

“Kill!”

“Charge!”

The moment Big Dragon appeared, without a shred of hesitation, everyone, be it from the Human Clan or the Demon Clan, charged into battle at once.

“Du Gang, don’t be afraid, follow us...”

Yin Deyu spoke these words with false bravery. Then, as if they were bodyguards, five people surrounded Du Gang, bringing him along as they charged toward Big Dragon.

“Swoosh!” “Swoosh!” “Swoosh!”

Bursts of colorful attacks were launched at Big Dragon by the crowd without cease.

Each person’s attack, at its weakest, had reached the level of one hundred Naers. The strongest even reached two hundred Naers!

“Big Dragon inherently has strong resistance, almost immune to attacks less than one hundred Naers. To defeat Big Dragon, one must be a Controller...”

As Yin Deyu rushed forward, he explained to Du Gang with a laugh, “Moreover, even with three to five Controllers, they can’t overcome Big Dragon. This creature’s vitality is extremely robust. The hundreds of Controllers present must join forces for their attacks to have an effect...”

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

As each Controller unleashed their attack, blasts of colorful energy waves hit Big Dragon. To everyone’s astonishment, attacks that would have obliterated anyone else only caused its scales to vibrate.

Big Dragon was referred to as a dragon not only because it resembled a dinosaur, but more importantly, it possessed dragon scales that only members of the Dragon Clan had. That was why it was referred to as Big Dragon.

The Big Dragon in front of them had strong defenses. It could withstand the attack of hundreds of people without dying. However, its attack power was not particularly strong. Each swipe of its dragon claws was equivalent to the force of a hundred Naer’s divine power. Even the flames it spewed from its mouth only yielded a hundred Naer’s of divine power.

Such a level of attack was challenging to resist for the Controllers, but it was not deadly. With some sacrifices, they could hold on.

“Aim for the vital parts!”

Someone shouted, but even if he hadn’t, everyone else was doing the same.

They focused their attacks on Big Dragon’s eyes, neck, and tail. Each successful attack evoked a roar from Big Dragon.

“Roar!”

As the attacks became more frequent, Big Dragon’s roars grew more agonizing, but it was to no avail. Its wounds continued to deepen, and blood gushed out like it was free.

Among the crowd, Du Gang remained calm. He did not attack and since Yin Deyu and the others shielded him, nobody criticized him.

Three seconds, four seconds, five seconds!

With each passing second, the damage endured by Big Dragon increased exponentially, and its vitality continuously decreased.

“Roar!”

Finally, at the tenth-second mark, a gash was completely torn open in Big Dragon’s tail. It emitted a shriek, no longer able to bear the pain, and died.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The moment it died, its enormous body disintegrated into rays of white light, which randomly fell on the red earth in front of them.

“Charge!”

The Controllers who were observing the battle from a distance ran forward like frenzied gold diggers.

“Grab it quickly!”

Without needing Yin Deyu’s reminder, Du Gang transformed into a streak of lightning, shooting towards the Red Earth on the ground.

Many essences were dropped by the Big Dragon, with countless rays of light, meaning it could drop thousands of essences at once. If a single person absorbed these, they could increase their divine power by a thousand Naers.

However, in reality, these essences were shared among hundreds of people, and they didn’t get much. Stronger teams could grab more, and the weaker ones might not get any.

“Swish, swish!”

Du Gang acted swiftly, grasping two of the nearest essences right off the bat. When he tried to grab a third, he realised almost all the essences around him had been collected by others. Over a thousand essences were snatched in practically an instant.

“Kill them!”

In the instantaneous aftermath of the scramble, members of both the human and demon clans began to fight. In this moment, everyone was after the essences!

Essences couldn’t be stored in one’s internal world, which means all essences held by every person could possibly be snatched away by others.

Each essence represents one Naer of divine power, and this is a form of power that can directly increase an individual’s strength. No one would think their divine power is too much.

Most of the time, when two people have similar divine power techniques, the one with greater divine power has the potential to win.

To ordinary people, the limit of divine power techniques cannot be broken, but the divine power’s limit can always increase. Their only way of increasing their strength is winning by quantity.

“Kill!”

A human team in the center of the battlefield was furious when they saw this. They wished they could rush up and give those guys a good beating, then educate them on the difference between internal and external conflicts.

But there was nothing they could do about it. “Every man for himself” is an unstoppable force in these situations, one can only bear it.

“Run, I’ll cover you, go!”

A top-level controller team couldn’t hold on any longer. The tank on their team immediately made a decision, passed the essence crystal in his hand to his teammates, and took up the fight himself.

“Fall back, fall back!”

The other four teammates, seeing this, didn’t hesitate. Years of familiarity allowed them to act without the need for words, immediately turning around and running.

They were also irritated. Since the people on the outskirts had run, there was no point in them holding on in the center; it was better to escape too.

They did not flee, yet both the humans and demons, who had understood each other for many years, did not form the idea of massacring just one side.

Seeing this, the temporary leader of the Demon Clan’s side instantly had his eyes shine brightly, and excitedly shouted, “Everyone chase, wipe out the human clan today!”

“Hoorah!”

With a loud roar, all the demons became excited, charging wildly like cats that smelled fish.

“Shit!”

“Zhang Yiniao, you damn legend, just running like this?!”

A top-level powerhouse team watched the fleeing team in the distance and roared in rage.

Zhang Yiniao glanced back at them, shrugged his shoulders, and ran even more cheerfully.

The people on the side of the top-level powerhouse team, after seeing this scene, were all helpless.

“Run, we can’t hold on anymore!”

With the strongest Controller team giving up, the entire defensive line completely collapsed.

The human side had completely lost its resistance, everyone started to turn around and flee, almost no one stopped to defend anymore.

At this moment, defending would surely lead to death, because if you don’t run, you would be swallowed up by the Demon Clan army and still die.

“Damn, how did the balance get broken, even leading to a rout!”

Among the fleeing squads, there were those who had fought on the front lines and knew some military theory, they were extremely helpless now.

In fact, the difference in the remaining power of both sides is actually not large, it’s about eight to nine, such a power comparison, in a war, is almost equivalent to evenly matched.

Even, some elite could win with fewer numbers, pulling off counterattacks.

But in front of these scattered people, it had led to a rout. The biggest reason was the lack of unity, each person had their own plans.

“What a disgrace, in so many years, there has never been a situation like this at the Big Dragon Pit...”

Someone was full of indignation, the balance between the two parties is not a balance set by rules, but a balance of strength, it represents the current or contemporary power of their two sides.

Previously, for a long time, no one has heard about the Big Dragon Pit being suppressed by the Demon Clan. The last time it happened, you had to go back to a hundred years ago, but now, their current batch of people encountered it.

“It’s all because of the first wave of people, who knows what they were up to, they ran so many...”

“Yeah, I don’t know where those guys ran off to...”

......

“Where are we going now? This doesn’t seem to be the direction back to land...”

Du Gang, surrounded by five people in the center, didn’t seem to have any doubts about them, and was still in a curious state.

Yin Deyu said cheerfully, “Let’s go to the ruins first, the environment there is complex, like a labyrinth, it’s best suited for cultivation, let’s absorb the essence we’ve obtained there before deciding...”

However, he was privately communicating with the other four people.

“A lot of people are following us from behind, shake them off in the ruins...”

What they were going to do after all was something unspeakable. Although everyone knew very well that we had all accepted the mission from the Demon Realm, but everyone was profit-driven, who knows if someone would record and send this footage to the Ancient City?

These guys, who were willing to attack their own people for Divine Crystals, meant that they could also sell those pictures for Divine Crystals.

So, to be safe, Yin Deyu and others decided to go to the Ruins, shake off the others, and then kill Du Gang.

After all, Du Gang was not weak, possessing the power of a Controller, hard to kill physically, the most important thing was his divine being, they had to catch him off guard and kill him in one shot, otherwise if he escaped, they would be helpless.

Soon, the group of people sprinted towards the Ruins, and after about half an hour of running, they reached the Ruins.

The ruins had a very large area of land, there was only one entrance, and basically anyone could only enter from the entrance because there were restrictions in the ruins that limited people’s jumping and flying abilities.

“Where are we going to cultivate?”

As soon as Du Gang spoke, Yin Deyu smiled and said, “Follow us, we’ve got a secret base in the ruins, it’s safe to decide.....”

After saying this, without any pause, he took the lead towards the ruins.

Upon hearing this, Du Gang turned his head and took a glance, noticing that the four men behind him were looking at him expressionlessly, he returned a smile, and then followed along.

Once they had entered the labyrinth-like ruins, over one hundred teams, around five hundred people, appeared at the entrance of the ruins.

Everyone looked at each other, nobody said a word, as if the others were just like air.

However, one of the powerhouse teams, as if talking to themselves, said a sentence, “Let’s see who gets lucky!”

“Let’s go in!”

Following that, someone softly uttered a sentence, and the over five hundred people on-site, as if they had received an order, quickly entered the ruins.
