The slaughter was still going on.
Though these alien races were showing signs of banding together, and their strength had grown greater as well, there was still a certain distance between them and Feng Buzhi.
Feng Buzhi shuttled ceaselessly through the blood-colored mist like a ghost, harvesting the lives of one alien after another.

As the beings present kept dying, the numbers in the sky kept jumping, and when the headcount dropped to 1,000, the words and map in the sky abruptly changed.
[Million-Player Battle Royale has entered the second stage] [Please reach the target area within the time limit. Those who fail to reach the target area will be erased] [Time remaining 04:58]
The remaining time kept ticking down, and the map below changed at this moment as well. The map's range became smaller and clearer, while a red highlighted area was marked out. That was the target location.
At the same time, a strong Eerie Whisper also came to Feng Buzhi's ears.
The whisper faintly told him that if he wanted to win, he had to go there.
"So that's how it is. Is this a hint for ordinary aliens? It's just that there are a few too many of these hints. There are four in total."
Feng Buzhi said softly.
Yes, there were four eerie whispers, representing four directions; one was real, three were fake.
As for the way to distinguish the true from the false, if one could interpret the eerie in detail like Feng Buzhi, one would be able to discover that the three false whispers each had their own loopholes.
For example, although the first whisper said that if he wanted to win, he had to go to where it was, before those words, it had also said another sentence, the meaning of which was that the words it spoke next would be lies.
Feng Buzhi did not continue staying nearby to hunt aliens. He was relatively far from the marked location, so he had to move as soon as possible.
He quickly began running at full speed...
[Time remaining 01:03] [Current participating beings: 769]
After casually killing a few aliens loitering on the road, Feng Buzhi successfully reached the target area in the final minute.
This was a ruin of stone buildings, seemingly a town that had been abandoned for many years.
The ruins were covered in unknown brown moss, and some aggressive carnivorous plants were hidden in a few cracks between the rocks.
Through sonar feedback, Feng Buzhi soon discovered a figure hiding beneath a pile of rubble more than ten meters away. Its appearance was somewhat like a lizardman, but also somewhat different; the limbs on its body gave off a sense of disharmony.
"A snakeman?"
Feng Buzhi was somewhat puzzled. In the next instant, he had already charged above that pile of rubble, then punched down toward the crevice.
There was no feeling of hitting a solid body at all. His fist was like it had struck a lump of rotten mud. A suction force appeared, and his entire body seemed to sink into a mire.
The snakeman's body coiled and twisted inconceivably, wrapping Feng Buzhi's entire body tightly. Its head appeared near Feng Buzhi's neck, then bit down fiercely.
—It could not bite through.
A metallic sheen appeared where the snakeman's fangs struck. It was precisely the Steel-Hardened Keratin Feng Buzhi had mastered not long ago.
Feng Buzhi gave a cold laugh, seized the snake head, and quickly tore the snakeman down from his body. Then his palm exerted force, intending to crush the snakeman's spine, only to find that the snakeman's body was like mud.
The area near the snake head had clearly been pinched out of shape by him, but before long, it returned to normal.
Seeing this, Feng Buzhi grabbed the snake tail and slammed the snakeman around like he was swinging a whip. Finally, he stomped the snakeman's head to mush.
This time, the snakeman did not recover again. It died completely, and soon began to rot, turning into a puddle of juice.
From the look of it, this snakeman's recovery ability had some limitations.
[All beings that failed to reach the target area have been erased] [Million-Player Battle Royale has entered the final stage. Fallen Plains blood mist effect increased] [Current participating beings: 129]
As the words above changed, the blood-colored mist permeating the ruins abruptly grew dense.
The blood-colored mist seemed to turn into real fog, completely blocking the surrounding line of sight. Visibility was less than ten meters.
Not only that, the whispers in the blood mist clearly became noisy, and the range of his sonar detection began to shrink.
Originally, he could probe a range of two hundred meters, and if he pushed it somewhat, he could even detect up to two hundred and fifty meters.
After a few breaths, his sonar detection range had already dropped to a hundred meters. Then, after another few breaths, his sonar detection range finally fell to around thirty meters.
Not only that, the prompt text in the sky also became blurry. Feng Buzhi could only vaguely see the final line of text.
[Current participating beings: 127]
Faintly, a subtle sound came from his left.
Feng Buzhi quickly moved to the left, then, through his thirty-meter sonar detection, discovered a birdman with red eyes wildly waving its claws in every direction.
The birdman had a human head and legs like eagle talons, looking something like a harpy. From the looks of it, because of the changes in the blood mist, it had already fallen into madness.
Feng Buzhi punched through the birdman's skull, helping it find release.
[Current participating lifeforms: 121]
Soon, another sound appeared. Feng Buzhi once again discovered a foreign race that had entered a frenzied state. It looked very similar to a human, but its pupils were vertical slits, and there was a rhinoceros-like sharp horn on its forehead.
This time, before Feng Buzhi could make a move, the frenzied foreign race repeatedly smashed its head into the stone ruins and killed itself.
Feng Buzhi did not pay it too much mind either, and soon chose his next target.
[Current participating lifeforms: 101] [Current participating lifeforms: 83] [Current participating lifeforms: 36]
It seemed to be because the blood-colored mist had grown denser, but many of the remaining foreign races had fallen into a state of confusion, and the surviving foreign races also began to dwindle rapidly.
Only when the remaining participants numbered around thirty did the rate of decrease begin to slow.
Feng Buzhi constantly wove through the dense blood mist. The shackles on his body had already been opened by him, and crimson paths of light flowed continuously over the surface of his skin with his breathing.
Bang!
Another foreign race had its skull smashed apart by his fist.
Of the million foreign races, only the final few dozen remained. Their strength grew increasingly formidable. In terms of strength, every single foreign race left here was a cut above Pei Chao.
The only shortcoming was that these foreign races handled life-and-death situations somewhat poorly. Basically none of them could compare to Pei Chao's eruption in desperate straits. Feng Buzhi felt that one-on-one, Pei Chao had a certain chance of fighting one to the death.
However, being able to fight one to the death was far from enough. With Pei Chao's strength, if he were not extremely lucky, he might not even be able to make it to the second stage of the [Million-Player Battle Royale].
Feng Buzhi tested the last remaining foreign races. As their numbers decreased, the strange powers of these surviving foreign races became more and more peculiar, worthy of him drawing some reference from them.
Just like that, in the process of continuing to kill eleven foreign races, Feng Buzhi successfully witnessed two peculiar abilities.
A horned foreign race's eyes turned blood-red, dragging him into a black-and-white world. He spent some effort before breaking free from the illusion.
As for another, a blood-colored pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky and transformed into a terrifying giant bear five meters tall. That giant bear's explosive power was very strong; caught off guard, he had one of his arms bitten and torn off by it.
However, afterward, as he used his speed to pull away, that giant bear soon could no longer hold on and exploded with a boom into a pile of rotten flesh.
