Crisis Upon Crisis

The sudden change startled Li Wei, who jumped in surprise. The Iron Maiden didn't even have time to react before being swept into the Jungle by the dark figure. Immediately afterwards, a rustling sound came from the Jungle.

It sounded a bit like the sound of bones breaking and flesh being torn apart.

The other Iron Maiden also reacted at this moment. It seemed to have encountered a natural enemy. It bent over, looked around, and then leaped away, actually escaping.

"What's going on?" Nina tried to come over, but Li Wei stopped her. "Don't come any closer!"

As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, he felt a foul gust of wind. Li Wei saw a dark shadow approach and instantly felt himself being swept up by something powerful. By the time Li Wei reacted, his body was already being pulled into the Jungle like that steel dragon.

Seeing all this, Nina screamed and rushed forward recklessly, but her speed was far inferior to that of the shadowy figure.

After a brief period of unconsciousness, Li Wei's eyes widened as he tried to see what could be so powerful. But what he saw was a giant mouth filled with sharp teeth.

Now, Li Wei panicked.

Are we going to get eaten before we even see our opponent?

What kind of mess is this?!

Instantly, Li Wei became enraged, or rather, he was truly anxious. He immediately circulated all his true energy and unleashed the Explosive Qi Burst Sword technique from the Upper Clear Sword Marrow. However, this time, the sword energy that surged from his body's hundreds of acupoints was not invisible true energy, but hundreds of Flame Qi Swords.

The scorching sword energy instantly shattered the thing binding Li Wei, freeing Li Wei from his restraints. As soon as he landed, he quickly retreated several steps, and only after he had stood still did he carefully examine the dark figure hidden in the Jungle.

When Li Wei saw it clearly, his expression became much more serious.

What kind of monster is this?

It shouldn't exist in this world, at least that's what Li Wei thought.

What Li Wei saw was a pitch-black octopus-like creature, but it was clearly not the kind of octopus found in the ocean. Its skin was much tougher, and its appearance was much more terrifying and frightening.

"Red-level creature, the Devil Satan!"

Its name is even more shocking than its appearance. If Li Wei's understanding is correct, Satan should refer to an angel who has fallen to hell, that is, a fallen angel.

But this thing doesn't look like an angel at all!

Moreover, this guy was actually a Level 3 creature. After Li Wei learned that the Iron Maiden was only a Level 3 creature, he had already made some guesses about the power of Level 3 creatures.

Even just considering the fact that this Devil Satan could easily devour the Iron Maiden, its power is undeniable.

It's obvious that Li Wei's current combat strength is no match for this thing.

The burst of fiery sword energy had just cleaved one of the monster's tentacles into pieces, but Li Wei saw that the damaged tentacle was rapidly healing. Perhaps for the first time, prey had escaped its grasp; this Satan stared intently at Li Wei with its dozens of eyes covering its entire body.

At this moment, Li Wei felt the hairs on his body stand on end. Since advancing to the highest level of combat power, he hadn't felt this scared in a long time. Just looking at those dozen or so eyes of different sizes was enough to make any normal person feel terrified.

And there's the enormous mouth on its head, filled with a dozen or so rows of sharp teeth, some of which still have fresh flesh and blood clinging to them.

It's that unfortunate Iron Maiden!

Li Wei felt nauseous, especially when he thought about how he had almost had intimate contact with that big mouth just now, which made Li Wei feel uncomfortable all over.

Suddenly, the tentacles of the Devil Satan moved again. This time, Li Wei only saw a fast trajectory and quickly jumped to the side. With a loud bang, the spot where he had just stood was smashed open by the tentacles, creating a crater more than a meter deep.

"Such powerful strength!"

Li Wei's eyes widened. He knew that he was no match for this monster in terms of speed or strength, and even if he went all out and wore the Ring of the Lord of Destruction, he still wouldn't be able to defeat it.

Are level 4 creatures really that powerful?

Li Wei gathered his inner energy, leaped backward, and jumped out of the Jungle. Upon seeing Nina, he grabbed her hand without saying a word, and the two of them ran out quickly.

The "Devil Satan" was hot on their heels, its speed undiminished by its massive size. Even after running for thousands of meters, they still couldn't shake it off.

Therefore, Li Wei had no choice but to use his ultimate escape technique: Shifting Forms and Changing Positions.

Bang!

He and Nina vanished into thin air.

The next second, Li Wei returned to the spot where he had just fought his opponent, where only broken trees and bloodstains remained.

The bloodstains were likely left by the Iron Maiden that was eaten. Several steel bars, each over a meter long, were also left on the ground; those were the Iron Maiden's weapons.

Li Wei glanced at them and was surprised to find that these iron rods were actually quite good weapons. So he casually put them into his storage space.

Open the Yellow Paper, identify the direction of Sand City, Li

On the way, Li Wei told Nina about the power of the level 4 creature and repeatedly instructed her that if she encountered a level 4 creature in the future, she should run away immediately without any hesitation.

Fortunately, Li Wei's Shifting Forms and Changing Positions successfully freed him from the Devil Satan; otherwise, the consequences would have been dire.

After passing through a woodland, Li Wei and Nina saw the magnificent Sand City.

"There are people ahead!" Nina vaguely heard some voices.

Li Wei nodded; in fact, he had heard it long ago. The sounds included shouts and fighting.

As the two drew closer, the sounds became clearer, and the exact number of people could be discerned.

"Be careful, don't make a sound," Li Wei instructed Nina, then held his breath and quietly crept over.

In this Jungle fraught with danger, every ounce of caution is necessary.

A battle is currently taking place in a clearing in the woods.

This is a small team of about a dozen people.

All team members had consumed at least one magic crystal, gaining Superman abilities. They were now fighting five towering giants with green skin dressed in animal hides.

These giants had a chilling name. "Orc!"

They were born warriors, wielding enormous iron maces that could easily flatten a car when swung. These five Orc had put more than a dozen magic crystal warriors in grave danger.

A magic crystal warrior whose ability was to transform his arms into bone shields was careless and was hit on the head by a spiked club. With a muffled thud, the unlucky man's head exploded like a smashed watermelon, splattering red and white matter all over the ground.

The body then collapsed to the ground with a thud, twitched twice, and remained motionless.

"Sixth son?"

The deceased's other companions were all filled with grief upon seeing this. One of them, the strongest fighter, used a large sword formed from the bone of his arm to unleash a powerful sword technique, slashing at the Orc who had committed the crime.

With a swift, sharp flash, the blade left two deep, sturdy wounds on the Orc's body.

This attack, while severely injuring the Orc, also enraged the beast.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the Orc suddenly sprang to life, its movements doubling in speed as it swung its spiked club at the man who had injured it.

The latter was shocked and barely managed to parry with his bony greatsword. However, he was thrown several meters by the powerful force, his arm throbbing with pain. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the bony blade had cracked.

This person was utterly horrified. As a reincarnator whose combat power reached the Ao level, he cultivated the Gale Saber Technique, his internal energy was the Primordial Chaos Primordial Force Qi, and with the ability to ossify his arm by consuming magic crystals, he could be said to have been riding high at one time.

Upon seeing the mission posted on the Yellow Paper, he led hundreds of men into the Jungle, intending to seize the city lord of Sand City. However, they suffered countless casualties along the way.

Besides him, the other two reincarnators had already died from the attack of several highly Poison Spider. He himself fought desperately to lead a dozen or so warriors who had been enhanced by magic crystals to escape.

In that battle, the team of over a hundred men suffered more casualties.

He realized he had been careless; his initial high spirits had turned into deep fear. But no matter what, they were only one step away from Sand City.

But fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on them. At that moment, several more Orc rushed out of the Jungle. To be honest, at this point, he even contemplated suicide, especially after the fight. He knew all too well that even if they risked their lives, they were no match for these Orc.

With a snap!

Another person had their spine broken. The person went limp as if their bones had been removed, and then their head was crushed by a stomp.

It's over, everything is over!

Seeing an Orc charging towards him like a ferocious demon, the reincarnator closed his eyes. The bone blade that his arm had transformed into had shattered, and he was essentially powerless to fight anymore. After waiting for a while, the spiked club he had imagined didn't hit his head. When he opened his eyes, he found that the Orc had been stopped by someone.

From a treetop not far away, Li Wei watched helplessly as Nina, overflowing with sympathy, jumped out.

According to Li Wei's thinking, since the other party is one of the reincarnators vying for Sand City, there is no need to lend a helping hand. Besides, this is a post-apocalyptic world fraught with crises, and without strength, one has no right to survive.

This idea might be extreme, but Li Wei genuinely believed it. If he were in a dangerous situation, would any kind person come to his rescue?

I'm afraid that's unlikely!

Even if they are saved once or twice, if their strength is insufficient, they will still die at the hands of other monsters in the future.

It's cruel, but that's reality.
