Negligence

One of the last reincarnators suddenly screamed as a Corpse-Slasher bit him on the back of the neck.

Sharp teeth tore through the reincarnator's skin, severing its muscles and blood vessels. Pain and fear plunged the reincarnator into utter Despair.

Then, a bone spur pierced his lower back and protruded from his stomach, and a large amount of blood gushed from his mouth. The other reincarnators who witnessed this knew that this guy was beyond saving.

"This is not the time to worry about others, we're surrounded by these monsters!" After firing a few shots, a veteran threw away his Pulse Rifle, flicked his arms, and instantly his two arms transformed into a pair of beast claws covered in thick black fur. He then leaped forward and slammed one of the Corpse-Slasher into a claw.

The powerful force knocked the Corpse-Slasher to the ground. The monster tumbled several times before finally coming to a stop, but it quickly got up again and charged forward, howling once more.

Immediately, those reincarnators without any special abilities could only fire their Pulse Rifle, while those with special abilities or other weapons fought using their most proficient methods.

However, it was clear that they had walked into a trap set by the monsters from the very beginning. The number of Corpse-Slasher was increasing, and for every one they destroyed, two more would rush up. Fortunately, the reincarnators were not to be underestimated. In particular, the few B-level combatants were exceptionally brave, which left Gray, who had been watching in a daze, speechless with his mouth agape.

"Control Gray, don't let him die, don't let him escape!" It was Li Wei who spoke. He had to remind the reincarnators, because according to the mission rules, if they were more than 100 meters away from Gray, they would all be eliminated.

Although it wasn't stated whether the rule still existed after Gray's death, Li Wei couldn't risk his life. After all, no matter how ruthless Gray was, he was still just an ordinary person. If he ran away out of fear, things would get really messy.

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, several reincarnators immediately reacted and two strong men rushed forward to subdue Gray.

The battle continued. The Pulse Rifle had an extremely high rate of fire. Although their power was average, these Firearms Mastery were very effective at close range. With more than 20 weapons firing simultaneously, it was already difficult for the Corpse-Slasher to break through. In Li Wei's opinion, the reason they couldn't break through was also related to the cramped space. If they were outside, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold out for long.

"That Main God won't let us get through so easily!" Knowing of the Main God's existence, Li Wei began to consider the problem from the Main God's perspective.

If I were the Main God, seeing this stalemate, I would definitely increase my stakes on either the side of the reincarnators or the monsters.

Sure enough, after a short while, another type of monster joined the battle.

"The Vomiter retains a basic human form, but its legs have fused together after mutation, and another leg has grown out. Its fingers have merged and sharpened, forming claw-like weapons. Its skin has completely degenerated, its chest is severely atrophied, and its lungs are filled with acid. Its eyes have degenerated and lack pupils. Its jaw has completely atrophied, and its esophagus and trachea serve as the main organs for spraying acid. Its combat strength is C1 level!"

Although their combat strength is not high, the harm caused by these Vomiter is considerable.

They can spray strong acid. One reincarnator, caught off guard, was sprayed all over his face. His screams lasted for more than ten seconds before he collapsed and died. Looking at his face, most of it had been corroded, and his brain was exposed.

The Marines' own armor was completely ineffective against the strong acid, so the veterans immediately took out their own protective armor, which effectively protected them from the Vomiter's acid attack. However, the new recruits without armor were in dire straits.

Although the experienced warriors temporarily held off the attacks from the Vomiter and the Corpse-Slasher, the increasingly loud monster roars coming from the other side of the passage made everyone's hearts sink; clearly, more monsters were on their way.

"We must leave here first, otherwise we'll have to reveal our strength!" Li Wei was confident he could annihilate all the monsters, but that would also expose his identity. If that happened, in the subsequent team battle, if anyone on his side was captured or confessed, the Blue Blood Star Domain Reincarnator who possessed the 'Destroyer of Slaughter' item would kill him.

Looking around, Li Wei spotted a ventilation duct about one square meter in size. He walked over and yanked open the metal baffle, Li Wei a cool breeze coming out of it.

"Everyone, get out of here, quick!" Li Wei shouted hurriedly.

Upon seeing this, the reincarnators were overjoyed. Under the guidance of several senior members, they crawled into the ventilation ducts one by one.

The number of monsters increased, and two more reincarnators met with misfortune, being dragged into the monster horde by the Corpse-Slasher and dismembered in no time, a scene of extreme bloodshed and horror.

Upon seeing this scene, the newcomers who had just become reincarnators were terrified and turned pale. They all entered the ventilation ducts, leaving behind only the powerful veterans to fight.

With his Pulse Rifle ammunition exhausted and unarmed, Li Wei saw the blood-soaked ground and immediately had an idea.

I wonder if the Blood Control Method will work on these monsters.

With a try-it-out mentality, Li Wei used the Blood Control Method on a Corpse-Slasher. Instantly, Li Wei felt a connection established with the limited amount of blood on the Corpse-Slasher's body.

This is the first step in performing the Blood Control Method.

Then, under his own will, he had to control the blood and destroy the monster's body. Soon, one of the monster's deformed arms suddenly broke in two, as if it had been cut by an invisible knife.

"It works!" Li Wei was overjoyed and increased the output of the Blood Control Method. The next second, more than 20 Corpse-Slasher and Vomiter were bizarrely dismembered and fell to the ground, with blood and stones piling up on the ground in a thick layer of limbs and flesh.

The events that had just occurred left the remaining dozen or so reincarnators dumbfounded. Their hearts were pounding with fear; how could these monsters have died on their own?

Suicide? Obviously not. That leaves only one explanation: someone did it behind their backs.

Who could it be?

The most likely candidate is the 'Destroyer' hiding his identity. The reincarnators looked at each other, but they couldn't be sure which one it was, since anyone among the dozen or so people present could be the Destroyer.

But regardless, the other person saved him.

Taking advantage of this lull, the remaining reincarnators also crawled into the ventilation ducts.

The ventilation duct was about 50 meters long, with a food storage room at the other end. As soon as the group of reincarnators came out, a person with superpowers stuck his hands into the top of the ventilation duct.

Instantly, his arms became as hot as magma, melting the metal walls and blocking the ventilation ducts. The reincarnator withdrew his hands, and after the metal cooled, he laughed heartily, "Now, there's nothing to worry about!"

"Even so, we can't let our guard down. After all, the real team battle hasn't even started yet, and we've already lost four people!" Another reincarnator looked terrified, clearly the terrifying scene had greatly affected him.

"Did anyone notice the four dead people just now? Did they drop anything strange?" The B3-level among the reincarnators suddenly spoke up.

Everyone knows what he's talking about. If those two crucial items are on the four dead, then it's all over. Whether it's the 'Destroyer of Slaughter' or the 'Absolver,' if they're lost under these circumstances, the upcoming team battles will put them at a significant disadvantage.

At this moment, everyone is just looking at each other, and no one admits that they are the one who has the key item.

Li Wei was also carefully observing everyone's expressions; the prop held even greater significance for him. However, these guys seemed to be natural-born actors, completely unable to detect the slightest flaw.

"And also, that Destroyer hidden among us, I hope you'll step forward. You were the one who just wiped out those monsters, weren't you?" It was the same B3-level Reincarnator who stepped forward, scrutinizing everyone with his eyes. "As the Destroyer, you're very strong. I hope you can protect us all from death before the enemy arrives. You should also understand the importance of those two items. If anyone else dies, the items might end up in the hands of a deceased Reincarnator, and then you'll be the one who suffers!"

Li Wei listened expressionlessly. How could he not know this? The other party was right. They couldn't let any more of their reincarnators die, otherwise it would definitely affect the upcoming team battle.

Of course, Li Wei had another consideration.

Those monsters only give you a pitiful number of points when you kill them, but you get no benefits at all, which is completely against the rules of the game.

Compared to the reincarnators from the Blue Blood Star Domain, our side is definitely at a disadvantage in terms of combat power. That's why the Main God allowed our side to enter the mission world first. So we should store things or items that can narrow the gap in strength between the two sides.

Initially, Li Wei thought he would get some unique rewards from the monsters, but clearly, after killing so many, he hadn't gotten a single thing. Was it an oversight by the Main God, or was he simply thinking in the wrong direction?

Touching his chin, Li Wei knew that the possibility of the Main God being negligent was extremely small, so he had been thinking in the wrong direction from the very beginning.

Looking at Gray, who was standing there dumbfounded, Li Wei suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Oh right, damn it, how could I have overlooked that!" Li Wei's eyes widened, and at that moment he really wanted to slap himself hard.

From the very beginning, I had fallen into the trap set by the Main God.
