On the way to becoming the strongest, I first became a popular person.

"Brother Chi, are we still going to go inside? I feel like something is wrong here."

"Yes, yes, yes. I also think this place is weird. I have a bad feeling. Why don't we retreat?"

"What are you afraid of? If you can't win, just run away. Besides, I just saw Luo Ge coming this way on the map. What are you worried about?" Chi Di said, touching his crew cut.

Well, although it is a bit strange that Luo Ge came here with a bunch of Kasese people, there is no need to tell them about this kind of thing, so as not to disrupt the morale of the army.

"Then I feel relieved. Let's go straight ahead." Someone breathed a sigh of relief, but for a moment he didn't pay attention to his feet. He didn't know what he stepped on and almost tripped.

When he steadied himself and looked carefully, he saw a slender dark green object with black spots. It looked like a branch or... a tail tentacle or something?

The thing changed rapidly under his gaze, and it grew a hideous and terrible giant mouth that emanated a foul smell and quickly came towards him. He could vaguely see that the sharp white teeth were stained with undigested meat and hair.

"Oh my god!" he shouted, warning his companions, "Be careful, be careful, there's something!"

"What the hell is this? It's so disgusting. I'm going to smash you to pieces with this hammer."

"Star beasts, many star beasts are coming! Keep your formation and don't get separated!"

A huge group of star beasts suddenly appeared from all around and surrounded several members of the team tightly. They were caught in a bitter battle and could not escape.

……

"Did you hear any sound of fighting?" Shi Chu, who was walking in the middle of the team, suddenly spoke up.

"No, senior sister, did you hear it wrong?" Ling Mu listened carefully for a while and did not notice anything unusual.

Luo Yanchuan, who was at the front, stopped and looked back at Shi Chu: "Did you hear which direction it was coming from?"

"About seven o'clock."

He was silent for a while before saying, "It could be Chi Di and the others. Didn't Chen Chunying say that they came in as well? It's very likely that they are being attacked by star beasts."

He looked at Shi Chu meaningfully, as if he wanted to say something but was unable to open his mouth.

"Tsk."

Ling Mu made an impatient sound, looked at him with some dissatisfaction and said: "You don't want us to help you, do you? I am not obligated to obey your orders. If you want to go, go by yourself. No one will stop you."

"Senior Luo, Cassisi and Icles are rivals. We are in a competitive relationship. I think the danger level of this place should have been mentioned on the information network inside Icles' combat terminal. Since they dared to come, they should have made corresponding preparations. We have no obligation to be responsible for the stupid behavior of others." Ji Li glanced at Shi Chu and added.

This world is cruel to begin with. No one will pay for someone who has nothing to do with them. Even if all the people of Ikles died here, so what? That was their own choice.

"Well, if they are in danger, they can press the distress button in time and the rescue team will come." The two female alphas at the back looked indifferent and nodded in approval, and one of them reminded them.

"I..." Luo Yanchuan opened his mouth somewhat embarrassedly. Chi Di and he grew up together and he was one of the few people he could call a friend. He just felt that this place was really weird and for a moment he couldn't wrap his mind around it and forgot about the existence of the rescue team, which was why he had such thoughts.

"Senior Luo, we are here to kill star beasts, not to accompany you to save people. I remember Chi Di was the follower who always followed you before. If you are really worried, just go by yourself and don't drag us along. Don't you think so, senior sister?" Ling Mu rolled her eyes at him, then turned to Shi Chu and said with a smile.

"Hmm." Shi Chu glanced at a few people. They seemed to be waiting for her answer. She thought for a while and said, "We can go over and take a look, but I won't ask them to do anything. It all depends on their own ideas."

She didn't even know that group of people, so why did she pay for them? She was not mentally ill, why would she make things easier for others? She didn't owe Luo Yanchuan anything, so it was ridiculous to use her favor to pave the way for him.

What Ling Mu exchanged with her was helping her kill the star beast in this assessment, but it did not include saving people. She herself was not a kind person. If people who had nothing to do with her died, so what? She was just a cold-blooded and ruthless monster.

So many people die in this world every day, someone dies every minute and every second. Should she always be sad and upset? Then why should she live?

She doesn't live for others, she lives for herself.

"There seems to be something wrong with the energy field in this place. It interfered with the combat terminal. I felt it when I got close, and it became more obvious after I came in. We followed the instructions on the map, but it seems that we have been going in circles. We should still be in the outer area now."

"Since they have encountered the star beast, they must have gotten close to the central area, which should be a breakthrough point," she explained to others.

"Yeah, I felt it too. This place seems a little different from the last time I came here."

"It's really weird."

"The seven teams from the academy were completely wiped out before. It might have something to do with this chaotic energy field. It's hard to tell the direction clearly here."

"Then let's go and take a look." Ling Mu shrugged indifferently, lowered his head and put his face close to Shi Chu's ear, his hot air sprayed on her white earlobe, causing her to tremble, and whispered softly: "I'll listen to you."

"Okay, whoever has any opinions, just speak up. I'm just suggesting, not forcing you." Shi Chu glared at him, pushed him hard, then turned to look at everyone else, especially the two female alphas who came later. After all, they were just acting with them, not joining their team, so there was no need for them to listen to him.

The alpha was pushed by her and seemed to lose his balance. He staggered back a few steps, raised his head and gave her a brilliant and dazzling smile, as dazzling as the scorching sun in midsummer.

Ling Mu: "I have no objection."

Ji Li: "Me neither."

The two female alphas looked at each other and said, "We don't have any either."

"Then hurry over there, and follow the previous formation, with Luo Yanchuan going first."

"it is good."

……

"Oh my god! Why are there so many star beasts? I'm going to die." A man held a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, shooting and slashing at the star beasts that were rushing towards him.

"Isn't this information a bit wrong, Brother Chi? This is too fierce."

"Yes, is there something wrong with this fog? Why do I feel that the strength of the star beasts here is much higher than those outside?"

"Damn it, we can't evacuate. I guess only Brother Chi has a chance to escape. We're going to die here today."

"Stop making sarcastic remarks, and if things really get tough, just press the help button."

"How can that be possible? I'm not dying yet. If I do that now, I'll be embarrassed. My family will laugh at me when I go back." He said this as he was killing the star beast, completely unaware that there was a smaller star beast in the corner staring greedily at his neck, its ugly eyes full of desire for flesh and blood.

Suddenly, it seized the opportunity and pounced at the man. Its speed left a trail of afterimages in the air. It was close in an instant, and no one noticed it. Only Chi Di, who was the strongest, noticed this scene. He opened his eyes wide, his face was ashen, and he shouted, "Lao Zhang!"

Zhang He heard him suddenly calling him and was about to turn around, but the star beast was less than one meter away from him. He saw that the star beast in mid-air had already stabbed out its mouthparts that were glowing black and could immediately pierce through the human's fragile throat.

"Bang! Snap——"

A cold silver light came rushing over and hit its hard scales hard, creating a string of sparks. The huge force carried by the knife knocked it away, and the star beast let out an unwilling scream, as if it was dissatisfied with its good deeds being ruined.

I saw a silver-white long knife shaped like a crescent moon falling from the sky and sticking straight into the ground.
