What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

"Five lone Thornfeather Clan members?"

Fan Rui's right hand, which was gripping the sword hilt, trembled violently.

His brain, which was already under extreme tension and even somewhat oxygen-deprived, experienced a very brief malfunction at that moment.

Alone?!

Five apex predators formed a perfect encirclement, trapping them here.

You call this "being alone"?!

Hallucination!

It's definitely a hallucination!

When a person faces extreme fear and near-death stress, the brain experiences neurological disruption as a self-protective mechanism!

Yet the shouts of ecstasy were so clear, even echoing, reverberating across the dry, hard yellow earth.

"Could it be...?"

A thought, like a spark in the dark night, suddenly ignited in Fan Rui's eyes, which had been completely silent.

"Was it a powerful human figure who just happened to be passing by?"

We're very close to the human teleportation array area now!

Were those seniors who had been stationed in the teleportation array area for years coming to rescue them?!

That must be it!

Only a big shot of that caliber would have the right to speak in such a nonchalant, even slightly mocking tone when facing five peak-level Thorn Feather Clan warriors!

The hope of survival grew wildly in Fan Rui's heart, like weeds on a wasteland.

A light called "hope" shone in his eyes, and he turned his head sharply, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

The end of the line of sight.

Yellow sand filled the sky.

Five figures were hurtling towards them from behind the distant hill in an extremely wild manner.

They are extremely fast.

Their legs stomped alternately on the hard, dry ground, kicking up clouds of yellow dust that left five long trails of earth behind them.

Their demeanor didn't resemble a rescue mission at all; instead, it exuded a frenzied energy of scrambling to get ahead, as if afraid that if they were a step too late, all the good stuff would be snatched up.

The light in Fan Rui's eyes suddenly went out the moment he saw the five figures clearly.

Did they run here?

Not the Flying Realm?!

Human martial artists can only achieve flight by reaching the Flying Realm.

Although the five people in front of us were running with dust flying everywhere and great momentum, their feet were firmly planted on the yellow earth!

Run on foot!

That's definitely not the Flying Realm!

An extremely harsh reality was laid out before Fan Rui.

If the newcomers are not at the Flying Realm or above, then they would absolutely be no match for these five Thorn Feather Clan members who are at the peak of the Thousand-Jin Realm and possess extremely high intelligence!

This isn't a rescue mission; this is a food delivery mission!

"Don't come any closer!"

Fan Rui's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and the veins on his neck bulged out.

He mustered all his strength and let out a hoarse roar at the five running figures.

Due to extreme anxiety and excessive force, he even tasted a strong metallic taste of blood in his throat.

"Run!!!"

He knew that at this distance, if those people turned back now, they might still have a glimmer of hope.

He couldn't just stand by and watch his unsuspecting compatriots lose their lives here because they misjudged the terrifying strength of these five Thorn Feather Clan members!

however.

The five figures running wildly ignored Fan Rui's heart-wrenching warning.

Instead of slowing down, they ran even faster, like startled horses!

The ground thumped under their feet, and the five of them gave the illusion of a massive army charging forward.

"Sizzle—!"

A harsh, screeching sound rang out.

The five people slammed on the brakes when they were less than ten meters away from the Thorn Feather Clan's encirclement.

The hard soles of their combat boots ploughed five deep furrows in the loess soil, and the dust they kicked up instantly enveloped their lower bodies.

"It's over!"

Fan Rui's hand, which was gripping the sword hilt, fell limply to his side, his teeth clenched tightly around his molars.

A bitter, desperate smile crept onto his lips.

They gave away a few more for free.

Now things are much better; I won't have to worry about being alone on my journey to the underworld.

The yellow dust had not completely dissipated.

Among the five people, the young man standing at the front casually wiped the blood and dirt mixed with sweat and mud from his face, stared at the five enormous creatures in front of him with his eyes glowing green, and laughed eerily.

"Hehehehe..."

"I can collect Princess Candice's bounty again!"

The young man held a standard-issue longsword upside down in his hand, the blade still covered with dried bits of flesh from some unknown alien race.

He turned around and grinned at his four companions behind him.

"One for each person, no one should take it!"

As soon as those words were spoken...

The wind in the wilderness seemed to stand still for a moment.

Fan Rui froze on the spot, his eyes glazed over.

He opened his mouth slightly, looked blankly at the five humans opposite him, then mechanically turned his head to look at the five Thorn Feather Clan members who looked down at him with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

One for each person?

Nobody should take it from us.

Fan Rui's mind was completely in a mess.

Who was he saying this to?

Are they the Thorn Feather Clan?

If each of them has one—

Are you not getting enough to eat?

"elder brother……"

Just as Fan Rui's values ​​were being repeatedly crushed and rubbed into the ground, a slightly trembling little hand gripped his sleeve tightly.

Fan Yue's voice came from behind him, filled with disbelief.

"I think I've seen them before."

Fan Yue swallowed hard, her finger trembling as she pointed at the five men ahead who were eager to fight.

Fan Rui was taken aback.

"Do you know him?"

Fan Yue did not answer immediately.

She stared intently at the young man who had shouted, "One for each person."

His gaze lingered for a few seconds on his dark-colored outfit, which had been patched many times but whose cloud pattern on the chest was still faintly visible.

"Look at the clothes they're wearing."

"It's those guys from Cangyun Martial Arts University."

Fan Yue's voice began to waver, and an uncontrollable memory surged into her mind.

Cangyun Martial Arts University?

Fan Rui's pupils contracted sharply.

He realized it instantly.

More than a month ago, in the outer area of ​​the battlefield of the heavens, the inhumane battle between humans and pigs struck his memory center like lightning.

Fan Yue's voice grew increasingly hoarse. She pointed at the young man carrying the long knife, her tone revealing a deep mix of awe and fear.

"The one speaking... is the one who was riding backwards on the pig's butt back then!"

"These people are still alive?!"

At that time, these people risked fatal injuries such as broken bones and disembowelment to dissect a Rock Ridge Porcupine at the peak of the Rock Realm.

Even when severely injured, he still went to destroy the Blood Demon Wolf Pack's lair.

They're still alive??

"Are these people... as resilient as cockroaches?"

Fan Rui felt that his worldview had been challenged like never before.

Those injuries, let alone the Blood Demon Wolves, would be enough to kill them even with the evil energy in the battlefield of the heavens.

Now, these people are actually standing right in front of him, alive and kicking?

This glance had a significant impact.

Fan Rui suddenly felt that the challenges to his worldview had become less significant.

"The Thousand-Pound Realm?!"

"At least a thousand-pound sixth level? And—"

"Peak of the Thousand-Pound Realm?!"
