I'm Afraid of Pain
Two hours later.
The area within a radius of dozens of miles had been completely reduced to a desolate wasteland. There was nothing intact above ankle height on the ground. The exposed rock layers were broken and fragmented, and huge rift valleys crisscrossed the landscape. The air was filled with a strong smell of burning and even the stench of blood.
In the center of the battlefield, four figures were still fighting, but the rhythm was no longer as Berserk as before, carrying a heavy and suffocating feeling.
The muscular monster had become an indescribable mass of flesh and blood. His enormous body had no intact skin, and was covered with deep, bone-revealing knife marks and festering fist marks. His bones were broken, and his entire body was twisted and crooked.
However, in stark contrast, the aura of destruction emanating from him continued to rise, each strike carrying a heart-stopping power, and apart from Song Shige, no one dared to directly confront his edge.
The Mech Armor next to him, which had been fighting for a long time without saying a word, was also in poor condition. Its armor was now covered with dented fist marks and traces of high-temperature Burn.
Song Shige's body was covered with wounds of varying depths, his skin and flesh torn open, many of which showed signs of being Burn by high temperatures or torn by immense force. Most of them had already scabbed over. About an hour ago, he stopped using the fighting style of exchanging wounds for wounds.
The monster's attacks had escalated to an outrageous level; even Song Shige couldn't guarantee he could withstand them.
Caoyuanshi looked miserable at this moment. His once boundless and powerful Blood Qi had become broken and tattered, like a leaky sack, flickering on his body. His original white coat was now stained with blood.
The four of them maintained a fragile and cruel balance amidst these ruins.
Apart from Song Shige, no one could withstand the monster's attack head-on at this moment, but Song Shige chose to avoid its sharp edge.
Without strong, direct countermeasures, Caoyuanshi and the Mech Armor were unable to inflict fatal damage on the monster.
At the same time, the three were wary of each other, none daring to reveal any weakness first, for fear of being attacked from behind by their "teammate".
A stream of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs welled up in the Caoyuanshi mouth, which he then forced down.
After drinking another mouthful of his own blood, Caoyuanshi suppressed his anger and stood aside, slightly panting.
"Demon King, your defenses are formidable. If you withstand a few blows head-on, the two of us will surely be able to kill him instantly!"
This Demon King looks like he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he exudes a murderous aura, but he just dawdles during the fight!
Caoyuanshi felt a surge of anger.
The Demon King's area has a numerical advantage, so whether the monsters die or not won't affect the ranking. This guy chose the safest strategy!
Doesn't he want more points?
Caoyuanshi appeared to be at his last gasp, as if he would die from Blood Qi at any moment. Only in the depths of his sunken eyes did a glint of brilliance remain hidden.
"I'm afraid of pain," Song Shige said.
"Fuck your mother!"
Caoyuanshi couldn't resist.
Upon hearing this, Song Shige parried the strange man's attack with his Zhanmadao, then withdrew his sword and left.
"This is boring, I'm leaving."
He left behind a casual remark, then his figure drifted backward hundreds of meters like a ghost, cleanly and decisively escaping the battle.
During the high-speed movement, all the wounds on his body, large and small, healed completely in a very short time, looking brand new. If it weren't for the torn clothes and bloodstains, it would have been as if he had never participated in a battle.
The rest of the people, including the strange one, were completely bewildered.
Damn, how can this guy do whatever he wants?
Caoyuanshi nearly ground his steel teeth to powder, cursing inwardly at this act of desertion.
That Demon King is a real bastard!
The Mech Armor hesitated for half a second, glancing at the extremely poor Caoyuanshi and the terrifyingly powerful Monster-chan.
It decisively abandoned the stalemate and, taking advantage of the moment when the strange man's attention was diverted, also broke away from the battle and chased after Song Shige in the direction he had left, but maintained a cautious following distance.
In the blink of an eye, only Caoyuanshi and the irrational monsters remained on the battlefield.
Hehehe!
The monster focused all its destructive desires on Caoyuanshi, launching an attack like a flood bursting its banks. Without the restraint of its teammates, Caoyuanshi faced increasing pressure, and its already dwindling Blood Qi was being consumed rapidly, putting it in grave danger.
Even more outrageous is that without Song Shige's Zhanmadao that tore the monster's mouth and throat apart, the monster's shrill laughter and trash talk started coming out frequently again.
Caoyuanshi, on the contrary, was no longer so panicked. He calmed down, ignoring the terrifying attack that was about to hit his face, and prepared to use his trump card to fight seriously.
At this critical moment, another unexpected Regeneration!
A figure dressed in elegant attire, completely out of place in the atmosphere of the battlefield, rushed into the fray from the side with incredible speed, like a puppet, and precisely positioned himself between the Caoyuanshi and the strange man.
The strange man unleashed dozens of Berserk punches, slamming them down on the "figure."
"Bang!"
Without the sound of bones and flesh shattering, the "figure" exploded like a phantom, turning into colorful confetti flying everywhere and a blinding beam of light, instantly disrupting the strange man's senses and vision.
Without the slightest hesitation, and without even attempting a counterattack, Caoyuanshi lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body drifting backward like a willow catkin, reaching a thousand meters away in just a few moments.
More than ten kilometers away, a figure wearing a top hat stood waiting, with a figure shrouded in demonic energy standing beside him.
As the monster furiously tore apart the scraps of paper and the halo of light, the spot where it stood was already empty. Its scarlet eyes suddenly turned towards the Storm Zone, only to see a blurry figure wearing a hat disappear into the distant dust.
"Hello."
At the edge of the storm, Song Shige stopped and turned to look at the silver-gray Mech Armor that had followed him. This was the first time the other party had sent a communication signal.
"Hello. What's up?" Song Shige asked.
"Cooperation. I'll help you Lock-On first place, and I'll take second," the Mech Armor said.
"Even without cooperation, we are still number one." Song Shige's tone remained unchanged.
"Relying solely on numerical superiority will significantly reduce the final points reward. By voluntarily eliminating someone, you can earn extra elimination points, increasing your overall gains."
The Mech Armor calmly analyzed, getting straight to the heart of the matter.
Song Shige stared at him thoughtfully for a moment, then slowly said, "You're third."
