Chapter 289 The Sacrifice Begins, an Unexpected Number of Demons

"These guys are waiting too..."

Inside the hollow of a dead giant tree, Lin Ye sat cross-legged, chewing on beef jerky, and opened the map on his professional panel to examine it.

According to the information on the map, many participants had already arrived at the temple ruins in the center of the jungle.

But Lin Ye wasn't in a hurry; he actually knew very well what was going on.

It's hard to say whether it's safe or dangerous for these people to gather together...

If these demons intend to fight to the death and forcibly carry out the sacrifice, then having such a large group of people gathered together would greatly increase their convenience.

But even if Lin Ye didn't do that, letting these contestants scatter outside wouldn't be a solution either.

They will only be defeated one by one by these demons, and then sacrificed.

The result is the same...

It would be better to be more decisive. With so many people gathered together, there's a greater chance of a successful rebellion.

Lin Ye is now waiting, waiting for the moment when these demons will make their move.

Whether these demons can get past him and sacrifice the people at the temple ruins depends on their abilities.

"It seems our initial assessment was wrong. The alliance's staff have either been infiltrated or have already been dealt with..."

Lin Ye muttered.

He didn't trust the Alliance staff, who hadn't yet discovered that any demons had infiltrated the arena.

But they haven't shown up yet to guide the participants.

The only possibility is that these staff members have probably already been dealt with by the demon.

This explains why no staff members have come out to guide the participants until now.

But Lin Ye couldn't help but shake his head again.

There were quite a few of these staff members. If they had all been killed by these demons, how could there not have been a single corpse found?

Lin Ye really couldn't understand what was going on.

"It should be about time..."

Lin Ye swallowed the beef jerky in his mouth and sensed the situation at the temple ruins.

Although his senses were very weak, he could still roughly sense that there were at least a thousand participants gathered around the temple ruins.

These people were not found by Kong Feiliu and Zong Muxue one by one.

They also knew that it was impossible to complete the task given by Lin Ye in this way, so they would appropriately split up their teams to search for other teams.

All that is needed is a small portion of the holy flame as evidence.

That's why contestants keep heading towards the temple ruins.

Gradually, this place, which should have been the most tranquil spot in the entire dense forest, was completely disrupted by the influx of contestants.

At this point, the participants who have arrived here actually only make up a small fraction of all the participants.

But outside, contestants continued to arrive.

It's almost safe to say that if we keep waiting, all the contestants in the dense forest will eventually end up at this temple ruin.

"With so many of us, would those demons dare to come?"

"Once you're here, you're not leaving!"

"Did they all come here to exorcise demons under the guidance of Sage Lin?"

"Absolutely! I'm just waiting for the demon to appear, I can't wait!"

The contestants who had already arrived were filled with anticipation, wishing that a demon would appear immediately so they could have a proper battle.

If they encountered the demon alone, they probably wouldn't have such thoughts.

For most people, they would be no match for a demon in a one-on-one fight... After all, those chosen by the demon god are no ordinary people.

Furthermore, with the added power of the demon god, it's impossible for him to be inferior to even ordinary professionals.

There have even been statistics showing that the vast majority of demons have a win rate of over 80% in one-on-one combat against professionals of the same level!
While such statistics cannot be truly accurate, the absurd 80% win rate does suggest that ordinary professionals are simply no match for demons of the same level.

If demons weren't far outnumbered by human professionals, the entire human world would probably have already fallen.

Inside the temple, a large number of participants have gathered, all eager to face the approaching demon.

Sticking together gave these people tremendous courage.

"Why hasn't Lin Ye arrived yet..."

Among the crowd, Li Fei looked somewhat worried.

And beside her was Zong Muxue.

"Don't worry, Sheng Yan is here. He'll come sooner or later," Zong Muxue said in a low voice.

She had already investigated Lin Ye's affairs, so she knew about Li Fei's existence...

She was quite curious about Lin Ye's rumored girlfriend.

"Hmm..." Li Fei nodded and didn't say anything more.

Just then, a commotion broke out all around.

"Look up, everyone! Enemy attack!"

"It's a demon!"

"What's happening here……"

"How...how can there be so many?"

The scene was becoming somewhat chaotic.

The situation was clearly beyond everyone's expectations; they had all thought that the demons could not possibly launch a large-scale invasion.

At most, there are twenty or thirty, which is already considered the limit.

After all, it's inevitable that a few demons will infiltrate your ranks.

But if too many people sneak in, it will definitely raise the league's suspicions.

However, the current situation left the participants dumbfounded...

Zong Muxue looked up at this moment, and her face turned pale as she looked at the sight.

"How is this possible..." she murmured to herself, incredulous.

Numerous black dots appeared in the sky, gradually expanding, then opening like eyes before bursting open to reveal human figures within them…

Just by looking around, there are at least four or five hundred people!

With so many demons, how are these inexperienced contestants supposed to deal with them?

"It's Senior Brother Zhang!" The girl next to Li Fei exclaimed in shock, pointing at someone in the sky.

"No, I recognize that person. He looks like a staff member of the Alliance!"

"Wait... isn't my brother supposed to be on a mission? How come he's up there?"

The contestants below were now in complete chaos.

The number of demons far exceeds the limit that they can handle!
Most importantly, many people discovered that among these demons, there were familiar faces, even their relatives!
Many people were devastated and simply couldn't accept this fact.

"The sacrifice begins! Hurry up!"

Zhang Zihao immediately shouted to Tao Jun and Niu Zhen.

He, on the other hand, had to be constantly on guard against Lin Ye, who could appear at any time!
