Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 245: Falling into a trap
As night fell, moonlight poured down like a veil, and Tianqing and his group sat together.

Ten meters away on the ground, two demonic beasts were being disemboweled. The pervasive stench of blood attracted the attention of many demonic beasts in the darkness, but they quickly retreated upon realizing the strength of this group.

Someone used a dagger to cut the warm flesh and blood of a monster, then skewered it into strings of meat. The campfire flickered, and the meat skewers were roasted in the firelight, accompanied by the aroma and the tempting sizzling sound of the fat.

The group ate barbecue, but the atmosphere was somewhat somber, and even their voices were deliberately lowered.

At this time, people kept returning, bringing with them bad news.

Everyone looked grim, instantly losing their appetite. They felt as if a heavy weight was pressing down on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.

According to the news, this is only a very preliminary estimate, but the confirmed death toll has already exceeded three hundred.

There were also some who went undiscovered, or who were devoured by monsters and died without a complete corpse.

If you add it all up, it might exceed four hundred people, or even five hundred.

Three hundred people is not a lot.

The conflict between the aliens and humans in this other world results in over a million deaths on both sides every year.

When a portal to a space is sealed, or a key appears, the death toll is always in the thousands.

But these three hundred people were unusual, as they were generally no more than twenty-five years old.

Many of them entered Jade Seal City with the aim of undergoing a spiritual energy pool baptism and competing for elemental fruits. Those qualified were all exceptionally talented geniuses, and more than half of them had refined high-level demon spirits.

Among them are many super geniuses who have refined eighth- or ninth-tier, or even Earth-ranked demon spirits.

But even such a super genius died quietly and in vain.

Geniuses are above ordinary people.

The value of three hundred geniuses far exceeds that of thirty thousand, or even one hundred thousand, people of the same level.

The casualties this time were extremely high, far exceeding those of the key battle.

And this only took less than half a day.

In such a short period of time, four or five hundred people have died. If Lin Feng's team is allowed to continue hunting, the number will increase.

At this time, besides them, many people had escaped from the Jade Seal spatial gate. Even in the Jade Seal City, which was far away, some residents had already begun to evacuate in advance.

Lin Feng's team proved his words with blood and death.

At this point, even if they killed Lin Feng and the others, they could not make up for the loss.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Tianqing knew that he already had some regrets.

After all, too many people have died!
Lin Feng's team has no more than ten members, but each of them is a recognized super genius. Apart from Lin Feng, the rest of them have all refined ninth-order and earth-ranked demon spirits.

The team's overall strength is terrifyingly powerful. Apart from them, any other team would be no match for them without reinforcements.

"Perhaps withdrawing from the Jade Seal Gate is the best choice."

As Tianqing watched the flickering flames, a thought flashed through his mind.

He discovered that many people had been terrified and had lost their initial momentum. If they weren't afraid of these five major forces, many would have withdrawn directly.

The morale of the troops has clearly wavered.

If the death toll continues to rise, even they will be unable to continue to act as a deterrent.

"The people from the Dragon King's Palace should arrive tomorrow morning."

Leng Xue tore into the roasted meat in his hand. After a while, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, he wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and spoke.

These words were not only meant to break the silence, but also to give others a bit of confidence.

"Even if we arrive, it doesn't necessarily mean we'll be of much use. In a hunting game, numbers don't determine victory. By then, those damned monkeys will probably have already escaped the portal."

Huang Ying shook his head, not having high expectations for the arrival of the people from the Dragon King's Palace.

With Haiwei dead, it's no surprise that the Dragon King's Palace was greatly shaken and sent out highly skilled, well-trained, and adept at team combat.

However, Lin Feng was able to kill even Hai Wei, possessing the invincible strength of a sixth-rank. If he were to actually make a move, the Jade Seal spatial gate was so large that unless he were surrounded, he wouldn't be easily hunted down.

The battle will most likely end with the human race escaping from Jade Seal City.

If they want to escape, no one should be able to stop Lin Feng's team.

In other words, it would be very difficult for them to kill Lin Feng.

"somebody is coming."

Someone said, quickly stood up, and picked up a weapon, but soon relaxed. As footsteps sounded, a squad of thirteen people came into view.

They were all acquaintances, and the one in the lead was Xue Ying.

Late at night, he and his search team returned.

Nights in the forest are inherently dangerous, and if they were to encounter the Forest Wind Squad, their chances of survival would be slim.

At this point, apart from those who were trying to escape, most of the squads, who had either left or gathered here, were afraid of being picked off one by one.

"Lin Feng has been added to the bounty list, ranked 185th, with a bounty of 500 billion Singapore dollars."

Xue Ying brought news that caused quite a stir.

In the Divine Martial Continent, there is a bounty list called the Human Race Bounty List.

As the name suggests, it's a list specifically for hunting down humankind.

Those who make it onto this list are all exceptionally talented geniuses and powerful individuals among the human race.

This list contains a total of one thousand positions.

Although the list was released by the Divine Martial Continent, the bounty is in Chinese New Currency.

The reason for this is likely that China has the most experts, or perhaps China poses the greatest threat.

Those on the list range from the lowest rank to the highest rank of Emperor, covering the entire world.

The higher the bounty, the higher the ranking.

As for the bounty, it naturally cannot be calculated in the form of real currency, but can be converted into equivalent resources, such as demon spirits, pills, and spiritual artifacts.

Almost all the world's famous geniuses and strong individuals are on the list.

Lin Feng is very famous as the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but he did not make the list because he refined a first-order demon spirit.

However, two years ago, after he came out of the demon realm, he ranked 639th on the list with a bounty of 40 billion.

Not long ago, when he defeated Yang Ningbing to participate in the National College Glory League, his ranking rose to 563rd, with a bounty of 52 billion.

On the contrary, Yun Kai ranked higher, at number 369 on the list, with a bounty of 89 billion.

Zhan Tianyu and Ye Qiu are also on the list. The former ranks 472nd with a bounty of 72 billion, and the latter ranks 455th with a bounty of 76 billion, which is not much different.

This time, Lin Feng's killing of Haiwei not only shocked the world, but also made the people of the Divine Martial Continent aware of his name.

Lin Feng has now suddenly appeared on the list, ranking 185th.

Those who make it into the top 300 of the bounty list are most likely king-level experts.

Those who make it into the top 100 are almost all experts at the Emperor Realm.

Lin Feng's inclusion on this list, and his high ranking with a bounty of 50 billion, surpasses the bounties of most King-level powerhouses. This sum of money is enough to drive someone mad and cause them to lose their reason.

The bounty board attracts people from the Divine Martial Continent to hunt down human races in the other-dimensional space.

At the same time, it also caused the human race to kill each other.

Some human traitors, such as the scum of the 'New World,' also keep an eye on the list.

Even if you are human, even if the assassin is on the list, you don't need to worry about not getting the bounty.

This is why the bounty list has remained standing for so long.

In the base city, things are fine and safety is guaranteed. But if he were to enter an interdimensional portal, Lin Feng would be like a walking wallet. He would not only need to be wary of aliens, but also of humans, and even his own teammates and brothers.

After all, not everyone can resist temptation. Such a large sum of money can arouse the greed of many people, and even make them abandon their principles.

Many exceptional geniuses have perished prematurely because they were assassinated after being placed on the bounty list.

"Such a high ranking."

Leng Xue raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but quickly understood.

After all, Lin Feng killed Haiwei.

This record, this ranking, and this bounty are not unreasonable.

"Let's rest and wait for the people from the Dragon King's Palace to arrive."

After Tianqing finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

This feeling of having the ability but being powerless made him very uncomfortable, but at the same time, he also felt a sense of relief.

It would be impossible for him not to be worried at all if Haiwei, whose strength was comparable to his, was killed.

The others also began to rest; after tracking for so long, many of them were quite tired.

"Crackling..."

As the campfire crackled, snores began to rise from the ground. Four men were on guard, but they weren't overly vigilant.

There are 43 people here, all of them are experts. Lin Feng's team could only run away when they encountered them before, so why would they walk into a trap?

"Brother Feng, when are we going to make our move?"

Less than 500 meters away from Tian Qing and the others, on a treetop, Lin Feng and his seven companions gazed at the direction of the burning campfire, quietly waiting for the right moment.

"43 people, almost all of them are sixth-rank martial artists."

Yang Ningbing said in a low voice, her voice tinged with nervousness.

Previously, the seven of them had killed about five hundred superhumans, each of them with their hands stained with blood. In the battle, their teamwork became more and more seamless, and they could easily kill even a ten-person superhuman squad.

This time, however, there were a total of 43 people, all of whom were extremely powerful and capable of refining high-level demon spirits. Among them were renowned geniuses like Tian Qing and Huang Ying.

"I'll handle Tianqing and Huangying. Yuqiao and I will approach first, while you stay a hundred meters away. Once the explosion is heard, you can take advantage of the opportunity to make your move. The six of you should not separate; you should act as a small team."

Lin Feng slowly explained the plan.

"Huang Ying's illusions are terrifying, even more so than Tian Qing's in some ways. Can you handle both of them at the same time?" Zhan Tianyu frowned slightly.

Huang Ying refined a six-tailed fox spirit from the Earth Ranking, which was skilled in illusions.

In his view, Huang Ying was a greater threat and more difficult to deal with than Tian Qing and Leng Xue.

"Don't worry, illusions are useless against me. I'm confident." Lin Feng didn't explain much.

Useless?

Everyone was very surprised. Illusion was the attack they least wanted to encounter, yet Lin Feng said it was useless against him.

"What if someone gets arrested later? This kind of chaotic fight is extremely dangerous."

Yang Ningbing suppressed her doubts and asked somewhat uneasily.

In her view, this attack plan was far too crazy.

Their willingness to hunt down Inhumans and seal the portal to that space naturally stems from their confidence in their own strength and their courage.

This is a battle for honor, and they want to participate, even if it means death, but that doesn't mean they're willing to die.

"No matter what, you must not separate. If there are too many enemies and you are surrounded, you can retreat in advance. Don't worry about me. If I want to leave, no one can stop me."

Hearing Lin Feng say this, the others could only suppress their unease.

In the middle of the night, a gentle breeze blew, and apart from the occasional howl of a monster, the world was completely silent.

At this time, when everyone was deep in sleep, seven figures, under the cover of night, moved silently like ghosts.

The team stopped when they were 100 meters away from their target.

Lin Feng glanced at Yu Qiao but didn't speak. The latter was possessed by a demonic spirit, and like a ghost, with the release of his soul skill, the two of them vanished into thin air as if shrouded in shadow, even their scent disappeared.

Even Yun Kai and his group of five couldn't find out where the two had gone.

Under the cover of night, having refined the Ghostly Serpent, Yu Qiao, as an assassin, was in his element. Relying on the demon spirit's innate skill [Invisibility], he was leading Lin Feng, slowly passing by a young supernatural being who was keeping watch.

The young man, though not sleepy, was somewhat listless, observing his surroundings with boredom. He was completely unaware that an enemy was approaching, even passing right in front of him within two meters.

Lin Feng and Yu Qiao did not attack. Even though they could easily hunt down their opponent, it would definitely cause a commotion. Any slight movement or smell of blood would attract attention.

If it weren't for Yu Qiao, Lin Feng wouldn't have been able to sneak in; he would have been discovered even from a hundred meters away.

They moved forward cautiously, not daring to make a sound.

Lin Feng and Yu Qiao had now reached within twenty meters of the crowd. In their line of sight, one-third of the people were asleep, while the rest were either cultivating or idly watching the burning campfire.

At this moment, Lin Feng and his companion stopped in their tracks, not daring to approach any closer.

Yu Qiao was confident he could get within ten meters of Lin Feng without being detected, even if he was alone.

Furthermore, he dared not get too close and could only escort Lin Feng here.

As Yu Qiao left and his soul skill disappeared, Lin Feng's figure reappeared. Almost instantly, he was discovered, and not just by himself, but by at least three people who noticed the arrival of the uninvited guest.

This uninvited guest was less than twenty meters away from them and was all alone; in the darkness, their exact appearance could not be seen.

"Enemy attack."

After a slight pause, a sharp scream rang out, instantly waking the sleeping person.

Tian Qing opened his eyes and stood up abruptly. Just then, he saw Lin Feng rushing towards them. In the darkness, their eyes met, one cold and the other in disbelief.

It's Lin Feng!
And it was just one person!

Is this like walking into a trap?
The thought had barely formed in his mind when Lin Feng appeared like a bolt of lightning amidst the crowd. Accompanied by the possession of a demonic spirit, more than two hundred bubbles appeared and gathered together.

"Don't attack, activate defense..."

Tianqing shouted frantically, but the next second...
"Boom——"

With a deafening roar, a dazzling purple light flashed, causing people to instinctively close their eyes. Immediately afterward, a shrill whistling sound exploded from the crowd, the ground cracked, and flying dirt and rocks, with the power of bullets, pierced through the bodies of many supernatural beings. Crimson blood splattered everywhere, and the powerful shockwave shook like a tsunami, sending many people flying backward. Electric currents coursed through their bodies, accompanied by wisps of translucent white flames.
