Infinite flow is not like that at all

"Someone is watching this place; we must find an opportunity..."

Twenty minutes later.

The withered trees ahead gradually thinned out, revealing a dilapidated black stone building.

Collapsed stone pillars lay scattered on the ground, the wide square was covered with cracks, the steps were covered with blackish-gray moss, and the palace deep inside was reduced to half a wall, revealing dark, gaping windows like the eyes of a giant beast.

It looked abandoned for who knows how long, exuding an old and desolate atmosphere.

"This is it!"

Annan raised his hand to stop the group, his expression turning serious. He turned around and used his psionic energy to transmit his message, word by word, into everyone's ears:

"Listen up, from the moment you step into the plaza, absolutely no one is allowed to release any psionic energy, not even a little bit!"

Annan took the lead, carefully stepping onto the stone slabs of the square.

The crowd followed closely behind, holding their breath as they went inside.

The stone slabs were cool to the touch, and a faint black mist seeped from the cracks. The entire square was eerily quiet, as if even the sound of footsteps had been absorbed, making very little noise.

Annan warned again, "Even if those monsters charge at us, do not use psionic energy!!"

At this point, someone asked in confusion, "A monster?"

And the next moment.

Just as they reached the center of the plaza, a thunderous sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind them! The aura of dark energy was immediately sensed by everyone from afar!

"The monster really came!?"

Someone let out a soft cry and instinctively tried to activate their spiritual energy.

"Don't move!!" Annan shouted sharply.

This person forcefully held back their movements!

All that could be seen at the entrance to the square!

The B-level monster horde had grown in number, and more than twenty A-level monsters created a dangerous aura!

More importantly, those S-class monsters were enveloped in dense dark energy, their auras soaring like rainbows!

"besides..."

Annan looked back with a serious expression.

Those three leaders!

Their figures were covered by dark energy, making their faces invisible, but some figures floated, some held a bag, and some skinless figures stared at them!

This is something that can truly threaten his life!

But the final battle cannot take place here!

They were no match for them!

This is also part of the plan!

"kill!"

The raging dark energy instantly swept across a large part of the square, and its terrifying killing intent enveloped everyone!

Everyone's face turned deathly pale!

But it was at this very moment!

"buzz"

A muffled hum came from underground.

The entire square suddenly shook, and the cracks in the ground simultaneously lit up with a gray-black light!

Countless thick black stone chains emerged from the crack, like awakened venomous snakes, instantly coiling around the monsters.

The monsters roared and struggled, their dark energy erupting wildly, making the chains clang loudly!

The chains tightened more and more, and the ancient runes engraved on them lit up continuously, restricting all dark energy!

In the blink of an eye!

All the monsters were bound tightly, including the three leaders!

The chains are still tightening!

"So that's why we can't use psionic energy. The ritual here... is a trapping array!!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

"Then let's kill them now??"

"??"

"Are you stupid? We can't use any psionic energy here either! Otherwise, we'd be trapped too!"

"It can be done without psionic power..."

Annan calmly replied:

"Let's go, now's the time!"

"The trapping formation can hold them for at least an hour. Let's hurry... the fragments are in another palace nearby!"

Everyone quickly looked away and immediately followed Annan to leave!

But at that moment, the ground at the edge of the square suddenly began to writhe violently.

"scoff"

Countless black, barbed tentacles tore through the soil and surged in like a tidal wave, covering the sky and instantly blocking most of the escape route!

The tentacles did not step into the plaza area; they stopped at the boundary line, their tips swaying slightly!

"...Everyone! Run!"

Annan's expression turned grave. "That's the dangerous characteristic!"

"Don't get caught!!"

If you get caught, you'll be trapped here with these monsters!

That would definitely lead to certain death!

This monster is too cunning.

No one dared to use their spiritual energy, relying solely on their physical bodies to dodge, which immediately slowed them down!

But everyone present was an elite!

and...

Even tentacles can't cover everyone!

The tentacles seemed to know this too, sweeping across the group with a sharp whooshing sound!

Charge towards the last few!

"what!"

Two screams rang out! But three people were instantly ensnared by the tentacles!

"save..."

Unfortunately, he was swept into a horde of monsters before he could even say anything!

"We can't stop!"

Annan's voice was as deep as iron: "They can't save him!"

Everyone gritted their teeth and ran forward, no one daring to look back.

The screams behind them had stopped, completely swallowed up by the buzzing sound of the trapped formation.

Once outside the plaza, everyone instantly activated their psionic abilities and quickly left the area!

No one spoke.

The atmosphere was as heavy as if a stone were pressing down on it!

"It's hopeless..." someone murmured in a low voice, "Those three have been captured by those monsters, they have no chance of survival."

"It's a pity about those two new faces and one old friend."

Annan said softly, "We can't let their sacrifice be in vain. We need to find the fragments and open the exit as soon as possible, so that their deaths won't be in vain."

"besides..."

He looked up at the sky with a solemn and wary gaze: "They are about to descend!"

The team moved quickly toward the ruins where the fragments were actually hidden.

Time is everything.

The sooner you get the fragments, the sooner you can take the initiative.

Of course, Annan had no intention of confronting these monsters head-on; on the contrary, he was waiting for them to arrive.

"No matter what, this is the only plan to escape..."

......

And at this very moment.

The three people everyone thought were doomed... were Xiao, a young man with a buzz cut, and Shen Ye.

The three were bound by tentacles to... the very center.

They were surrounded by terrifying monsters, all of whom were bound by chains, but they all cast extremely dangerous glances at the three of them from all directions.

"It's over..."

Xiao's eyes were filled with despair at this moment: "I'm doomed."

Although the monsters are immobilized now, the tentacles can kill them at any time, and even if they are not killed now... once all the monsters are freed, the most terrifying ending awaits them.

"Can I say my last words...?"

The young man trembled all over: "I...I...my name is Mo Xiaofeng, I'm 25 years old and single...I was planning to travel to another world, but I was unlucky enough to get caught up in this. Mom, I'm sorry, your son is unfilial and can't take care of you in your old age."
