CHAPTER 343: CHAPTER 343: DEMONS ATTACK

The deeper they ventured into the valley, the more shocking the sight of bodies strewn about.

Many had their arms torn off, their heads decapitated.

The brutal deaths stirred discomfort in Ning Qian and Qianren’s hearts.

Jiang Xi was unaffected.

Her extraordinary abilities made her indifferent to the gruesome scenes.

Qiong Xue’s face didn’t waver either.

Despite the inhuman scenes, she was too lazy to feel disgusted.

Preserving energy for the upcoming battle was what’s crucial.

As for Baiyu.

Already accustomed to such scenes from past experiences, he was more seasoned.

Enduring the Hell-like slaughterhouse environment, the five cautiously advanced.

Baiyu released the reconnaissance robots from the Mechanical Realm, gathering data onto his small tablet.

Given the current situation.

He couldn’t concern himself with hiding them.

The bodies on the ground were mostly the "Gladiators" mentioned by the innkeeper, their deaths tragic.

After walking for a while.

Baiyu and his team encountered another Exploration Club member.

The person had perished, only recognizable due to the club’s insignia on his body.

The cause of death... decapitated by a sharp weapon.

The Exploration Club and Kendo Club each had five slots, led by Luo Hou, among whom was Baiyu’s acquaintance.

She was the blonde lady who guided him during his freshman orientation, Annie.

Seemingly a sophomore.

Currently.

Two of the five were already dead.

The situation looked grim.

"The blood on these bodies is still fresh; they’ve died within the past two hours. We should be close."

Jiang Xi’s eyes darkened.

Just as she finished speaking, an earth-shaking roar sounded from afar.

A giant gorilla, as massive as King Kong, leapt into the air in the distance, a resisting man clutched in its crude hairy hand.

With their vision.

They immediately recognized Luo Hou held in the gorilla’s palm.

"It really is a demon..."

Seeing the gorilla resembled human features.

Qiong Xue squinted, disappearing from sight, leaving behind a light statement: "Be careful, I’m going to kill that demon."

Quickly.

The giant gorilla landed in the forest, stirring a storm.

Qiong Xue’s body darted into the wood like smoke.

The remaining four intended to continue advancing together.

However, in the front and back of the valley, after Qiong Xue left, several people emerged from the shadows to block their path.

"Seems we’ve been discovered. They deliberately drew sister Qiong away."

Jiang Xi coldly eyed the two men in black ahead.

The two men’s bodies were brimming with Blood Qi.

In her eyes, they were like two miniature suns, radiating a blistering and terrifying aura.

"Hehe, these students are really bold, coming in here like this. Do you think this place is really yours?"

From behind.

An elegantly dressed woman in green approached.

She was holding two severely injured individuals.

The other two Exploration Club members.

There was also Baiyu’s acquaintance, Annie, now in a wretched state, breathing through sheer willpower.

Three demons.

"These are demons?

They look quite normal, why call—"

Qianren’s question was interrupted.

Suddenly.

The woman’s body began sprouting scales, her eyes turned snake-like, and she repeatedly flicked her tongue.

Qianren swallowed his unfinished words.

Indeed.

There was quite a significant difference!

The three encircled the four.

Baiyu noticed one male demon holding a red wooden box resembling a Buddha Shrine.

Red gas continuously flowed from inside.

The shrine.

Chilling inscriptions emitted eerie light, providing an unsettling view that made one’s scalp tingle.

Baiyu, using Energy Perception, discovered.

Red gas from nearby corpses was absorbed by the shrine, then emitted, blending into the air.

This seemed to be a magical item.

And these demons causing a massacre were likely aiming to activate the shrine.

Some magical item usage requires specific conditions.

This shrine.

Clearly needed fresh human lives as sacrifices.

"The shrine absorbs sacrifices dying with resentment, accelerating its charging speed. These students are prime supplements, Huang Yi, won’t you come out to meet your classmates?"

The male demon extended his tongue with thorns, licking beast-like claws covered in scales.

Upon his words.

A student in Celestial South Martial Arts University uniform stepped forward from behind the valley.

"You guys didn’t expect it was me, did you? Foreigners thinking they can seize our world will have to pay a price!"

The moment he emerged, he began speaking with a cold smile.

However.

Baiyu furrowed his brow, observing this figure intently.

After a while.

When the youth thought Baiyu was too scared to respond,

Baiyu finally asked: "Who... are you?"

Though the figure wore a Celestial South Martial Arts University uniform, Baiyu did not recognize him.

He even searched his memory repeatedly.

This person seemed unfamiliar.

"Kid, are you pretending to be clueless with me here?

A freshman thinking defeating a few sophomores allows for arrogance?"

The youth’s face flushed with anger.

Beside him.

Qianren quietly reminded him: "That’s the vice president of the Martial Arts Club, Huang Yi."

Baiyu then realized.

The Martial Arts Club.

Ranked third among top ten clubs.

Its president was legendary but recently secluded in training.

Regarding others.

Baiyu knew very little.

His knowledge on the Martial Arts Club came from Qiong Xue during their analysis of the top ten clubs.

"Forget it, let’s get rid of these people, nuisance."

Huang Yi glared coldly, eyes void of emotion, as if staring at four dead bodies.

Crack...

A sequence of overlapping bone sounds echoed.

The three demons quickly reverted to their original forms.

The female demon, resembling a snake, her waist slender and pupils narrow, covered in patches of cyan scales.

The two males.

One was covered in white scales.

The other was covered in black hair.

The demons exuded an overwhelming aura, and the presence of a traitor like Huang Yi, the Martial Arts Club’s vice president, meant his abilities weren’t weak.

The four’s side.

Couldn’t possibly match them.

Qianren clenched his fists, eyes filled with fury, shouting at Huang Yi: "You’re human, why ally with demons?"

"Ally?

Hahaha, junior, you’re amusing.

Who told you I wasn’t one of them?

I.

Grew up in this world!"

Huang Yi’s face contorted, yelling at the four.

Qianren was momentarily stunned.

Even Baiyu couldn’t have predicted this answer.

He was a native of this world?

How did he get outside?

How did he deceive the four deans?

As tensions rose.

Suddenly, the two Exploration Club members held by the female demon burst forth with blinding light.

The light temporarily blinded the demons.

"Quickly go, find Luo Hou! Only together can we survive; fighting these demons alone is futile..."

Annie lifted her head.

A ruined Spiritual Technique Scroll slipped from her hand.
