Death Train: SSS-level talent right from the start!

After parting ways with Jiang Ning, Chen Ye and his group had been traveling through the underground passage for more than ten hours. They had killed quite a few insects and all of them had changed into green-quality weapons, but the exit still hadn't appeared.

Now there are three more passages in front of them.

Chen Ye accessed the system trial panel.

[Trial Setting: Insect Hive]

[Trial Difficulty: ★☆]

[Kill Points: 2870]

Survival Points: 0

Countdown: 4:30:18

He turned off the panel, his brow furrowing slightly: "Time is running out."

Zhao Hai walked to his right, his gaze sweeping over the three passages ahead: "This place is like a maze; finding other exits depends entirely on luck."

Zhou Yating walked up from the back of the group: "If it doesn't work, we can only go back the way we came. I've marked the way. If we can't find any other exits, we'll have to go through that area of ​​elite facehuggers and go back the way we came."

Chen Ye shook his head: "There are over a hundred elite facehuggers there. Even I wouldn't dare say we could definitely get through. It's too dangerous."

"I should have followed Jiang Ning yesterday. They came down from another entrance, and they must have left marks along the way."

Wang Shuo's voice came from behind.

"It's too late to say all this now. There are too many forks in the road below. We're basically in a maze right now."

Li Zheng also frowned deeply.

"Didn't you hear anything?" Qin Zhaoyang stood still, his head slightly tilted to the right. "It sounds like fighting..."

The passageway fell silent.

Chen Ye walked to the right-hand passage and listened carefully. There was indeed a sound, the sound of metal clashing, mixed with a sharp hiss.

"It looks like someone is there."

Zhao Hai walked to Chen Ye's side, his gaze fixed on the direction from which the sound came.

"It's good that someone's here. Let's go take a look."

After Chen Ye finished speaking, he strode towards the direction from which the sound came.

The others followed closely behind.

The six people moved quickly along the edge of the cave wall. There was a corner ahead, and the sounds of fighting came from behind the corner, becoming clearer and clearer.

Chen Ye peeked out from the rock face and saw another wide space ahead. A team of six was fighting two huge scorpions. There was an acquaintance among the six.

Zhao Hai also poked his head out: "Isn't that Wen Ning?"

Chen Ye glanced at Zhao Hai and said, "It's her. She's traveling with Su Jin's team. Those two scorpions are quite big; they must be elite monsters."

Zhao Hai asked, "Do you want help? Su Jin suggested suppressing levels in the group chat before, and he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be unreasonable. Wen Ning also provided us with a lot of information about Tang Jingxin's team when we were in Infinite City."

"Of course we'll help. I'm counting on them to get us out of here." Chen Ye turned to look at Zhao Hai and the others. "But you don't all need to go. You guys wait here. I'll go. It'll be a good opportunity to test this spear."

Zhao Hai opened his mouth as if to say something, but seeing Chen Ye's relaxed expression, he swallowed his words and simply nodded.

Qin Zhaoyang stopped in his tracks and obediently squatted behind the rock wall.

Chen Ye moved quickly, spear in hand, heading towards Su Jin and the others.

The closer the distance, the clearer the sounds of fighting.

The sound of weapons clashing was so dense it was like raindrops hitting a tin roof.

The scorpion's hiss was sharp and piercing, carrying a kind of dying madness.

Chen Ye reached the edge of the battlefield and stopped.

The battlefield is divided into two areas.

On the left, Wen Ning and Su Jin were dealing with a giant scorpion. The scorpion was over five meters long, and its dark red carapace was covered with black patterns.

Its two forelimbs, like giant scythes, swung through the air with a sharp, whistling sound. Its tail hook was raised high, the venomous stinger at the end gleaming with an eerie green light.

But its condition was already very poor; its shell was covered in cracks, and dark red fluid seeped from the wounds, pooling on the ground.

Its movements were noticeably slower, and the speed and frequency of its tail hook thrusts were much lower than normal.

Su Jin held a silver longsword, with a light green halo flowing around its blade.

Her movements were agile, and each dodge was perfectly timed to avoid the scorpion's attacks, while her long knife left wound after wound on the scorpion's carapace.

Wen Ning stood about ten meters behind Su Jin, her hands wreathed in black energy as she slammed them against the ground. Several black spikes burst from the ground beneath the giant scorpion, piercing its carapace and pinning it to the spot.

This scorpion won't last much longer.

But the situation on the other side is not so optimistic.

Su Jin's team of four members, three men and one woman, is dealing with another scorpion.

This scorpion was a size larger than the one on the left, with a darker, almost black, carapace, and its two forelimbs were waving around powerfully.

The four of them worked together fairly well, but their talent, level, and equipment were clearly inferior to Su Jin and Wen Ning.

Their attacks hit the scorpion's carapace, causing no effective damage whatsoever, and two team members were already injured.

Chen Ye joined the battle without hesitation.

"Chen Ye?"

Wen Ning was the first to notice him. Her gaze lingered on Chen Ye for a moment before quickly returning to attack the dying scorpion in front of her.

Su Jin also noticed him. Her silver-white longsword drew an arc in the air, blocking the scorpion's tail attack, and then she turned her head to look at Chen Ye.

Chen Ye wasted no time; he dragged his spear and charged towards the larger scorpion. The spear tip carved a fissure in the ground, sending sparks flying.

The scorpion seemed to sense a new threat and temporarily abandoned its attack on the four team members.

Its massive body turned towards Chen Ye, its two forelimbs raised high, its tail hook drawing an arc in the air, and the eerie green luster on its poison needles shining even brighter.

All four of them turned their gazes to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye didn't look at them.

His gaze was fixed intently on the scorpion.

The distance is rapidly decreasing.

Twenty meters, ten meters, five meters.

The scorpion's right forelimb slashed down with astonishing speed, its sickle-shaped limb tearing through the air with a sharp hiss.

Chen Ye held the gun in his right hand, holding it horizontally above his head, and took the blow from Scorpion head-on.

"clang--!"

A deafening clang of metal colliding echoed through the empty space, sending sparks flying.

The scorpion's forelegs slashed down on the gun, the immense force pressing down, but Chen Ye's arm remained completely still.

With a base strength of 30 points and an additional 10 points from the Demon-Slaying Halberd, his current strength is as high as 40 points.

Chen Ye thrust his spear upwards with a sudden movement.

He forcefully pushed the scorpion's right forelimb back, causing the scorpion to lose its balance and tilt to the right.

Chen Ye slammed his right foot into the ground, his waist and hips rotated, and his spear changed from a horizontal stance to a straight thrust.

The spear tip tore through the air with a low whistling sound, passing through the gap between the two pincers and precisely piercing the gap in the carapace below the scorpion's head.

"puff--!"

The gun tip penetrated nearly thirty centimeters, and dark red liquid gushed from the wound, flowing down the gun barrel.

Chen Ye immediately spun the gun, and the scorpion's head armor shattered, sending fragments flying in all directions, revealing grayish-white muscle tissue and dark red bodily fluids underneath.

The scorpion's body stiffened abruptly, all eight legs straightening simultaneously, then it convulsed violently twice before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
