Longevity Village Battle Royale 1

Everyone cast a wary glance at the Big Willow Tree, then turned and hurried toward the village entrance.

This time, however, their expressions had grown much more serious.

Earlier, some had been talking quietly, but now everyone fell silent.

The sisters, Zhou Lan and Zhou Xiaoxiao, each saw a trace of worry in the other's eyes.

They instinctively quickened their steps, wanting to stay closer to Chen Ye and the other Sequence Transcendents.

In this apocalyptic world, survivors could only find some sense of security around Sequence Transcendents.

Each survivor had their own thoughts at that moment.

Chen Ye's heart was heavy too.

Their trip to Longevity Village probably wouldn't be so simple.

His suspicion was soon confirmed.

When everyone saw the towering Big Willow Tree again, they fell silent.

Some people's voices already carried a sobbing tremor.

"Why are we still here? I remember us heading in the opposite direction!"

"Are ghosts making us walk in circles?"

"No, I remember we had our backs to the Big Willow Tree! Why are we back again?"

"Fuck! I survived Deer City. There's no way this tiny village can trap me!"

Everyone erupted into an uproar, their eyes filled with panic and terror.

All eyes turned toward the three Sequence Transcendents.

Iron Lion swallowed, his gaze slowly turning vicious.

"Fuck, that Big Willow Tree must be behind this. Let's just chop it down!"

Ordinarily, Titan Sequence Transcendents looked no different from normal people.

But once they entered battle, they became savage, brutal, and bloodthirsty.

"Easy, big oaf. Don't lose your head before we figure out what's happening."

"Chen Ye, what do you think?"

The long-legged girl turned her gaze toward Chen Ye.

She had no good ideas herself at that moment, and time was running out. If they still couldn't get out, they would likely face something extremely dangerous.

Before they entered, Chu Che had said they had to get out before four.

Under the convoy's rules, if Chu Che still hadn't seen Chen Ye by four o'clock, he wouldn't keep waiting.

He would very likely leave with the convoy.

Without a guide leading them around those supernatural horrors, surviving the apocalypse would be almost impossible for Chen Ye and the others.

Chen Ye took a deep drag on his cigarette, forcing himself to calm down.

"How much time do we have left?"

Nana glanced at her mechanical wristwatch. "Twenty minutes!"

"Let's try again. If it doesn't work, we'll go face that Big Willow Tree."

"That's all we can do for now."

Once again, everyone headed away from the Big Willow Tree.

This time, they walked much faster.

When the immense Big Willow Tree appeared before them yet again, despair had crept into many people's eyes.

"How... how is this possible?"

"The Big Willow Tree! It's still the Big Willow Tree! Why? Why can't we get out?"

"Could... could that Big Willow Tree be behind all this?"

A survivor glared at Chen Ye with bloodshot eyes. "Didn't you say we could get out if we walked with our backs to the Big Willow Tree? Why are we still here? Why?"

That survivor had overheard everything Chen Ye had said to the long-legged girl earlier.

Now that they had returned here again, he blamed Chen Ye.

"Aren't you Sequence Transcendents supposed to be so powerful? Why can't you get us out?"

"You useless bastards! Get me out of here! I don't want to die yet!"

By the end, the bloodshot-eyed survivor sounded almost hysterical.

Half out of his mind, he glared at Chen Ye and advanced on him step by step.

If Chen Ye couldn't get him out in the next second, he intended to attack him.

Chen Ye's gaze turned icy, and his left hand was already reaching for the machete at his waist.

He didn't mind teaching this irrational survivor a bloody lesson.

Thump!

A thick leg slammed into the crazed survivor, sending the fairly sturdy man flying over ten meters. He plowed a deep furrow through the ground, his fate unknown.

The towering Iron Lion had struck.

Even with supplies piled on his back, his combat ability remained unaffected.

Such was the power of a Sequence Transcendent.

Iron Lion, usually so good-natured and easy to push around, spoke coldly. "If you want to die, I can oblige."

His lionlike eyes swept over the other survivors' faces.

The others fell utterly silent, hastily averting their eyes.

Iron Lion knew Chen Ye was a Sequence Transcendent from a support sequence, and fighting wasn't his forte.

That was why he had stepped in on Chen Ye's behalf.

The long-legged girl seemed oblivious to what had happened before her. She simply stared gravely at the Big Willow Tree, her expression exceedingly cautious.

"Looks like we'll have to face that Big Willow Tree. Otherwise, we probably won't get out!"

"Heh heh... finally, some fighting. It would've been boring if everything went too smoothly!"

Iron Lion licked his lips.

Every Titan Sequence Transcendent grew inexplicably excited at the prospect of battle.

Chen Ye said nothing either, merely checking the hand crossbow he held once more.

It was his greatest asset.

Iron Lion strode toward the Big Willow Tree, his eyes brimming with excitement, a stark contrast to the good-natured giant he had been before.

It was as though two personalities inhabited that enormous body.

The long-legged girl followed close behind.

As for the survivor who had been kicked away, no one spared him another glance.

Zhou Lan and Zhou Xiaoxiao exchanged a look, each seeing fear and worry in the other's eyes.

The sisters also realized that Sequence Transcendents weren't quite so gentle.

Offending Chen Ye earlier might have been the biggest mistake they had ever made.

"Heh heh... you... don't go to the Big Willow Tree! It's dangerous!"

"Heh heh..."

Just then, they noticed a hunched figure blocking everyone's path. No one knew when he had appeared.

It was the Hunchbacked Old Puppet from earlier!

"Who exactly are you? Why can't we go to the Big Willow Tree?"

Chen Ye stopped the long-legged girl before she could attack.

The hunched figure chuckled. "Heh heh... you stole so many supplies from my house, and you're asking who I am?"

"You're... the village chief?"

The Hunchbacked Old Puppet was actually the chief of Longevity Village. That came as a surprise to everyone.

"I am, and I'm not! Heh heh..."

"Why can't we go to the Big Willow Tree?"

Chen Ye continued questioning him.

There were many kinds of supernatural horrors. Many had lost all normal human emotions, leaving only an urge to kill.

Others still retained some human emotions.

Having encountered one he could communicate with, Chen Ye didn't mind exchanging a few more words to gather information.

"When I say you can't go, you can't go. Young man, do you really think I'd harm you?"

The Hunchbacked Old Puppet struggled to raise his head, staring at Chen Ye with a pair of cloudy white eyes.

Endless terror seemed to brew within those eyes.

Throughout their exchange, Chen Ye kept hearing faint cries for help.

"Tell me, how do we get out?"

"Heh heh... you can't get out. Stay here and keep me company! Heh heh..."

"Enough of your tricks!"

The long-legged girl drew her sword, murmuring under her breath. She formed a sword gesture with her left hand and swept it along the blade.

A layer of shimmering light instantly spread over the ordinary sword, a mysterious power flowing through its blade.

"Die!"

A streak of sword light shot straight at the Hunchbacked Old Puppet.

"Heh heh..."

The Hunchbacked Old Puppet sneered. Clearly prepared, he dodged the sword light with the agility of an ape.

But the sword light of a Sword Immortal Sequence 2 wasn't so easy to evade.

The sword light struck the Hunchbacked Old Puppet's hump.

The clothes covering his upper body shredded into fluttering scraps.

Only then did everyone discover that the Hunchbacked Old Puppet's hump was actually... a woman's head, its hair hanging loose.
