CHAPTER 1014: CHAPTER 1018: DESOLATE ABYSS CHAOS (21)

Xi Yang rarely hesitated, saying, "Could it be that you’ve mistaken the person?"

Su Yu: "Slicked-back hair, bright blue suit, delicate features....."

Xi Yang: "...." He had considered the man as his opponent, not realizing he had already been taken out long ago. This feeling, it’s hard to describe.

"Take us to find that woman." Yuan Changgeng excitedly darted in front of Su Yu, gripping the other’s chin, very eager.

He was so excited that even his hair stood on end.

"I can hardly wait any longer, finally something interesting has appeared."

Unlike Yuan Changgeng’s aggressive nature, Xi Yang’s demeanor was more composed, with a far less curious mind.

Compared to the mysterious oddity of the subject, he placed greater value on the potential danger involved.

Xi Yang pondered deeply for a moment and finally suppressed his own curiosity.

"The Trial field is about to end soon, don’t complicate matters." Xi Yang had been navigating the trial games and had seen many upset situations along the way.

It’s not that he was timid, but rather, one should never underestimate anyone or anything. Additionally, when your abilities haven’t reached an unbeatable level, don’t let your curiosity flourish excessively, or you’ll never know how you met your end.

Take the captain on the train before, for instance, even when he was just a rookie, the captain was already more formidable than Xi Yang is now.

Yet such a significant figure still met a sudden demise, and at the hands of a small character they had looked down upon.

Ever since then, Xi Yang kept reminding himself not to follow in the footsteps of the former captain.

Yuan Changgeng, however, was indifferent, saying, "It’s just a woman, what’s there to fear."

"Captain, aren’t you being a bit too dull?"

Yuan Changgeng didn’t want to miss out on such an interesting and amusing affair, grabbing Su Yu’s arm, he said, "Lead the way for me."

"There are still a few hours left until the end of the chaos, isn’t the Desolate Abyss Arena meant for us to relax....if you ask me, what’s fun about messing with those cop types, better to cut to the chase and just finish them off."

However, seeing Xi Yang’s expression, Yuan Changgeng quickly changed his tune, saying, "Alright, alright, you’re the captain, you make the call....don’t worry, I’ll be back before the train sets off."

Although playing those people like a fiddle was quite satisfying, it only stayed fresh for a while; soon enough, Yuan Changgeng felt bored.

The captain doesn’t mind him killing, but staying within Xi Yang’s line of sight gave a constant sense of constraint, in any case, Yuan Changgeng found it very uncomfortable and unsatisfactory.

Without waiting for the captain to speak, Yuan Changgeng grabbed Su Yu and Da Mang and disappeared into the ruins with a jump.

After Yuan Changgeng’s figure completely disappeared, Tian Yuan approached Xi Yang with a discontented face, saying, "He’s getting more out of line, do you want to...."

Tian Yuan mimicked a slicing motion with his hand as though across his throat.

Xi Yang’s face turned cold, his baby face half-hidden in light and shadow, appearing somewhat grim and menacing.

"No rush, let me find the right opportunity, don’t underestimate Yuan Changgeng’s unpredictability, even his life-preserving techniques are better than mine. No one knows what powerful tools he has hidden on him." Better not to eliminate him and have it turn into a big hassle.

Seeing the captain had his own plans, Tian Yuan didn’t say more, turning instead to charge into the group of trialists at the side.

Like a wolf among sheep, blades rose and fell, scattering pale and deep shades of blood across the ruins.

The air was thick with an acrid blood scent, yet around Xi Yang, there seemed to be an invisible barrier keeping it all at bay within a meter of him.

Xi Yang: "Your methods of killing are still so crude."

The bodies ravaged by Tian Yuan had long become unrecognizable, lying haphazardly on the ground.

Just as Tian Yuan was finishing off the remaining trialists, Yuan Changgeng, running with Su Yu and Da Mang captive, suddenly stumbled and halted abruptly, chagrined.

He jerked his head around, gritting his teeth towards where he came from, "That bastard, all the points went into his pocket."

But he couldn’t really blame anyone, it was his own oversight.

Just now, he heard the mechanical game report starting in his mind.

Over twenty trialists dead, those points were no small amount.

Yuan Changgeng felt particularly remorseful, pounding his chest, feeling like he had missed out on a fortune.

In the instant his attention was diverted, Su Yu seized the opportunity, swiftly activating a tool, instantly transforming into a light shadow with Da Mang and disappearing without a trace.

It was his last-resort life-saving measure, and indeed, it proved effective.

Yuan Changgeng didn’t have time to react before the little prey in his hand escaped.

Now he was left with neither watermelon nor sesame, empty-handed.

Su Yu never placed hope on the promises of the other party. For people like them, with blood-stained hands, their conscience was long gone, they could swear an oath in front of you and turn around to tear up the agreement.

In this kind of situation, not just them, even he had done this more than a few times in the past.

Taking Da Mang along was just by the way.

Su Yu and Da Mang didn’t head into the city but rather veered in several circles before finding a secret place near the spot where they had disembarked three days earlier.

Until the time was right, the platform and train wouldn’t appear, and there was even a chance they wouldn’t be at the same location.

So they had to be prepared for contingencies.

Not to mention the narrow escapades of Su Yu and Da Mang, even Yuan Changgeng standing alone was greatly frustrated.

His angry laughter grew, growing more unnerving by the moment.

"Hahaha, who’d have thought I’d be played one day, well then, very well."

"Just don’t let me catch you, or I won’t rest until I’ve torn you apart, piece by piece." Yuan Changgeng waved his arms frantically, causing several crimson explosions in the nearby area.

Survivors barely escaping the major explosion, clinging to their last breaths, still couldn’t evade the reaper’s scythe.

After venting by slaughtering every living thing nearby, the held-up breath in Yuan Changgeng’s chest finally eased a little.

He soon found a direction and hurried off.

The direction Su Yu had taken was correct, they weren’t far from where Su Li and the others were located.

Even without a guide, it was only a matter of time before Yuan Changgeng found them.

Don’t forget, there were still a few novice rookies alive.

----------

On the third day, as the last of the twilight from Xi Yang disappeared, and as the end of the trial neared, Wang Bai and the others, who had gradually relaxed, began to tense up again.

The waiting period was long and torturous; apart from Xie Yuanyuan, the robust and naive, and Yu Xiaobao, the clueless youngster, everyone else was nearly jumping out of their skins.

Wang Bai racked his brain trying to come up with a better excuse, ideally one that could persuade the bigwigs to give them another ride.

Qin Xiaoshun watched, enviously at his carefree friend hovering around Su Li, playing happily with Yu Xiaobao.

It has to be said, sometimes having a few loose screws is quite the gift.
