In the forest, Zhang Jie, limping and holding a triangular metal object, walked forward with Daniels and Fang Yu.
After seeing the information change on his wristband, Fang Yu sighed, "Finally, someone's been eliminated?"
"Huh?! Yan Huiqian?!" Zhang Jie exclaimed in surprise, "Did the Demon Team find our Covenant hidden in the underground current?"
"No," Fang Yu said, based on his understanding of Meng Yao. "That woman is extremely cunning. She never puts all her eggs in one basket. Yan Huiqian's death likely has another reason."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a single piece of information."
"Although I don't know what you're talking about," the female lead, Daniels, looked dejected, "I just feel like we're going to die."
"Don't be discouraged, I'm about to make my move!" Fang Yu patted Daniels' back. "You're a female war god, how can you fall?"
"I'm glad you call me that, but I haven't been much help..."
"No, you are our hope for survival. Please make sure to use this thing..." Fang Yu looked back at the metal triangle in Zhang Jie's hand, "...well."
"I can only activate this crudely; it's uncontrollable!"
"I will guarantee your life won't be affected, absolutely."
"Okay, okay..."
"What! What is that!"
Zhang Jie's loud cry interrupted Fang Yu's comforting words. He looked up, his heart filled with dread!
Above the forest, a giant sword carrying a figure sliced through the sky at astonishing speed, flying rapidly.
The sword body emitted a cold light, and the figure on the sword appeared particularly aloof under the sunlight.
"Quick, hide!" Fang Yu whispered, reacting quickly. He pulled Daniels and Zhang Jie, and the three of them quickly bent down and hid behind a nearby large tree.
The man riding the flying sword was clearly headed somewhere with purpose. His target was the Engineers' ruins they had just left.
"Who is that?" Daniels' voice trembled slightly. She had never seen such a supernatural sight.
"I can't tell you, or I'll lose Reward Points," Fang Yu replied in a low voice, his gaze fixed on the man on the flying sword, quickly calculating his options.
"Sword Flight?" Zhang Jie swallowed. "The Demon Team's strength..."
He immediately clamped his mouth shut after saying that.
Saying such things next to the female lead, Daniels, would result in a penalty of -10 Reward Points.
"The basic requirement for Sword Flight is the Golden Core Stage..."
Thinking of this, a look of joy actually appeared on Fang Yu's face!
"A Golden Core Stage member of the Demon Team! Hahahaha!"
Zhang Jie looked bewildered and said, "You, are you crazy?"
"Golden Core Stage!" Fang Yu slapped Zhang Jie's back. "No matter how cunning that bitch Meng Yao is, can she handle someone in the Golden Core Stage? She's dead for sure!"
"That's true, but..." Zhang Jie clutched the triangular metal object in his arms. "Doesn't that mean we're all destined to be slaughtered?"
"Hmm~ You try your best to survive. As for me..."
"As long as I can confirm that Meng Yao will be obliterated by someone in the Golden Core Stage, I'll die without regrets!"
Zhang Jie's mouth twitched as he nodded.
He thought to himself, I absolutely must not offend Fang Yu...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the sky.
The Marauder's speed slowly decreased.
The Mental Controller, Dio Brook, crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes locked on the location below.
"How clever, their hiding place is underground where Arno is fighting..."
"The impact of the battle will severely interfere with my Mental Scan." He lightly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "But you would never have imagined that someone would enhance their Mental Scan to B-rank, would you?"
With a thought, the spaceship's autopilot system was activated, and the ship slowly lowered its altitude, landing smoothly on the ground.
The trees in the forest swayed gently, and the Marauder's metal hull reflected a cold light under the sun.
With his Mental Scan fully activated, Dio Brook's ability was pushed to its limit at this moment.
His mental energy was like an invisible net, covering a vast area, capturing every faint life signal.
His target was clear, and he quickly locked onto the entrance of the underground river not far from Arno and Da Qiang's battlefield.
He leaped from the spaceship, his figure quickly moving through the forest. Before long, he saw the massive spaceship hidden in the valley.
This spaceship lay there quietly, its size enormous, its shape peculiar. It was the origin of the movie's name—the Covenant.
The Covenant was blocking the middle of the current. Behind this spaceship, there were signals of several weak life forms...
Just as Dio Brook was about to approach, he suddenly frowned.
Under the effect of his Mental Scan, he actually detected multiple powerful life forms.
The energy fluctuations emitted by these life forms were unusually strong and completely different from humans.
"Aliens?" A hint of vigilance flashed in Dio Brook's mind.
Under his Mental Scan, he "saw" these Aliens moving rapidly through the Covenant.
This also seemed to indicate that there were no living people left on the Covenant.
And to pursue the rest of the Central Continent Team members, he had to find a way to get past the Covenant, this obstacle.
A clever move, using the Aliens to intercept and driving the Newcomers to a safe zone.
If I want the kill reward for the Newcomers, I'll have to deal with such a massive number of Aliens.
Dio Brook thought for a moment. Without the Alien Queen for mind control, it's going to be difficult for me to handle this many Aliens alone.
I need to call the captain to collect the Reward Points!
Not far from this location, Da Qiang and Arno's battle had reached a fever pitch.
As the fight continued, Da Qiang began to feel his strength failing.
Every one of Arno's attacks was like a heavy hammer, making his defense increasingly difficult.
At this moment, Arno suddenly unleashed even greater power. His muscles became more swollen, and each strike carried the sound of tearing air.
"Do you feel it? This is the power of the Second Order Genetic Lock!" Arno sneered, his eyes revealing absolute confidence in his strength.
"You, a member of the Farming Team who only knows how to exchange Reward Points for high-level abilities, will never understand the true meaning of life."
Da Qiang's breathing became ragged. His body was already covered in wounds, but he didn't hold back with his words.
He spat fiercely and cursed, "You should be thankful you're a foreigner! If your main body appeared in the Central Continent Team, I'd definitely dig out your eyes! And snap your neck!"
Da Qiang's body suddenly erupted with a powerful aura. His Toguro ability was pushed to its limit in this desperate situation!
His speed and strength saw a qualitative leap, and every attack was more precise and deadly!
He began to attack proactively, attempting to break through Arno's defense.
Arno sneered. With the enhancement of the Second Order Genetic Lock, his body had completely surpassed the limits that humans could reach.
He easily blocked Da Qiang's attacks while counterattacking even more fiercely. "Your strength is nothing but child's play in front of me."
Da Qiang was just about to charge again when his ears twitched, as if he'd thought of something. He suddenly lunged forward, enduring five direct punches, and gritted his teeth as he hugged Arno!
Arno's pupils constricted. Under the calculation of the Second Order Genetic Lock, his brainpower also reached its peak, but he couldn't understand his opponent's reason for doing this.
A test of strength?
Wouldn't that rapidly deplete his stamina?
"Quick! I've got him!"
Da Qiang suddenly roared, making Arno realize he had to break free immediately, or he'd be in danger!
But Da Qiang was like he'd been injected with adrenaline, hugging Arno tightly and refusing to let go!
"Bang bang."
"Bang bang."
Arno could feel his heart racing. The sense of crisis brought by the Genetic Lock made his hair stand on end!
He used all his strength and forcefully broke free from Da Qiang's embrace!
He quickly looked around, trying to figure out the reason for Da Qiang's actions!
The next second!
Sharp, blade-like weapons continuously sliced through Arno's body!
Arno initially tried to block with his arms, but gradually, he stopped moving!
When the flashes of blades ended, Meng Yao, wearing high heels, stopped her attack.
"Tap."
A piece of shredded flesh fell.
Soon after, countless finely shredded pieces of flesh fell to the ground!
Arno's face was unrecognizable, with only remnants of bone left!
His internal organs flowed out through the gaps in his abdomen...
He was deader than dead!
Meng Yao stepped on Arno's head with her high heel, a flash of disdain in her eyes. "They're used to throwing their weight around. They even dared to fight me separately. Besides that sword-riding one, who can't I kill?"
Da Qiang didn't respond, lowering his head slightly.
He had no doubt that if he hadn't dodged fast enough just now, he would have definitely been caught in that storm-like attack...
