I will burn books and slay gods.

After the signal was lost, they found themselves in a scene of devastation, with cars overturned and dead and injured everywhere.

Gazing at the Throat of the Scorching Sand before them, its wide, spiraling maw covered with countless teeth, it roared at the remaining Nightbringers.

"Everyone! Try to avoid the attacks!" Gong Zhan shouted. "My abilities may not be able to cause any real damage to the materialized Nightmare."

"Yes!" all the team members answered in unison.

"Old Li, take a picture of one of your team members in the car and lead Hou Hong to a safe place," Gong Zhan then instructed. "The rest of you, come with me to fight this giant!"

Then Old Li walked over to Chen Ye, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "Old Hou's safety is in your hands."

"But..." Chen Ye was about to speak, but then swallowed his words again, simply because...

"Chen Ye, you only need to look after Senior Hou, leave the rest to us!" Wang Xiaoming said with a smile.

Chen Ye hummed in agreement, then turned around, went to Hou Hong's side, and helped Hou Hong up and moved him to a safe place.

After seeing that Chen Ye had helped Hou Hong to a secluded spot, Old Li led Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming forward!

In everyone's eyes was such determination, such an upright spirit that feared neither life nor death!

Yellow sand filled the sky, covering the entire sky in darkness. Standing on the sand, looking up at the starry sky, one could see countless stars.

Apart from Chen Ye and Hou Hong, the eighteen Night Watchers formed an arc towards the throat of the hot sand.

They glanced at each other, then stared straight ahead, their eyes fixed on Nightshade.

"Go!!"

With Gong Zhan standing in the middle, he gave a command, and the eighteen Night Watchers charged towards the throat of the hot sand!

In an instant, the battle began!

Although everyone was worried that the conceptual abilities wouldn't be able to harm the physical Nightmare.

But everyone still believes in that slim chance.

Just then, as Lin Su rushed towards the Throat of the Hot Sands, a dark red flame condensed in his hand. The instant it solidified into a fireball, he hurled it towards the Throat of the Hot Sands!

All eyes were fixed on the ball of flame, which, like a dark, arcing meteor, was indeed so bright in the night sky!

The moment that dark red flame touched the throat of the hot sand, it exploded like fireworks!

After the "fireworks" exploded, the throat of the hot sand let out a painful roar.

When the Maw of the Scorching Sands emitted a painful cry, everyone's eyes lit up instantly. Gong Zhan asked, "Has this Nightshade not evolved into a physical form yet?"

Old Li also witnessed this scene. He noticed that the place Lin Su attacked was the very half that had been cut off by the mysterious expert!

"Everyone! Listen to me, the Nightmare before us might still be a conceptual entity, not a physical form, in its latter half!"

Old Li loudly told everyone what he had discovered, and when everyone knew about it, they all looked at the Throat of Hot Sand in front of them at the same time!

Almost simultaneously, all the Night Watchers unleashed their conceptual abilities, targeting the Nightshade!

Aside from Lao Li, Gong Zhan, and Wang Xiaoming, all the other conceptual abilities like fire, ice crystals, and lightning are elemental!

All the attacks struck the rear half of the Sands Throat the moment they were released, perhaps because this conceptual body had just been formed.

Under the fierce attack of the Elemental Night Man, the half of his body actually began to disintegrate and even flickered frequently, like a malfunctioning machine.

Almost instantly, the latter half that had been attacked by the elemental force exploded like a burst of liquid under everyone's watchful eyes!

But what happened next was even more shocking: the original half-conceptual entity began to absorb elemental attacks.

Everyone who witnessed this scene had their pupils dilate and their faces contorted in horror.

After absorbing the elemental attacks into its body, the Throat of Hot Sands began to writhe, and from beneath its surface, energy pillars of different elements shot out.

Perhaps because it absorbed elemental power, the Throat of the Hot Sands, having lost the latter half, used the absorbed elements to rebuild its tail in different colors!

It also resembled the hot, sandy throat of a sandworm, growing out from both sides of its body, along with two arms stained with pus and sharp claws.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, the Night Elf closest to the Maw of the Sands swung down directly under the Nightshade's sharp claws!

Almost all of the team members led by Chen Chen and Cao Chu were among them, chopped into pieces by the materialized, sharp claws, and scattered across various locations.

Among these team members was Chen Chen's younger brother. In the instant he was being cleaved in two, his brother was still shouting to Chen Chen, "Run! Brother!"

Chen Chen knelt on the yellow sand, trembling all over, still trying to "assemble" his younger brother.

Looking at his own creation, Hot Sand Throat couldn't help but burst into wild laughter!

"You scum, you are no match for me. Let this end here!"

When only a dozen or so people remained, they were filled with panic and disbelief when they saw the Nightmare begin to speak human language!

"Is it a level eight Nightmare?" Old Li couldn't help but wonder.

Because Old Li had learned from headquarters that once a Nightmare reaches level eight, it can speak human language, which means that the Nightmare in front of him is about to reach a level that only the headquarters chief can rival.

Looking at the tragic scene before him, Old Li realized that nearly twenty people had been lost in this mission. At this moment, none of them knew the outcome of their current predicament.

Of the current team leaders, only four have survived, including Hou Hong, who is injured. There are only eight surviving team members.

Meanwhile, Dean Wang, who was speeding towards them, thought to himself, "Hang in there, everyone! Wait for me!"

"Faster! Drive faster!"

Old Li, who was on the battlefield, glanced at Gong Zhan and said, "This is probably our last battle."

"What are you saying? Get back alive!" Gong Zhan said sternly. "No one can stay in a foreign land!"

Gong Zhan looked at the enormous thing in front of him. Who wouldn't want to leave here safely? But how long would it take for Dean Wang's support to arrive? And could they hold out until they got home?

Just then, a figure slowly emerged from behind the two, emanating a powerful aura from his body!

"Chen Chen, stop thinking about the past," Gong Zhan advised.

"Don't try to persuade me! It killed my only brother, and I will tear it to pieces!" Chen Chen roared in anguish at Nightmare.

When Chen Chen shouted those words in anger, the energy released from his entire body expanded to nearly three times its original level!

Gong Zhan and Lao Li looked at the shocking scene before them, and then looked at each other in astonishment.

"Old Chen, you're about to break through to a higher realm!" Gong Zhan exclaimed in shock.

But what Chen Chen said next made Lao Li and Gong Zhan feel heartbroken.

"Old Li, Gong Zhan, I'm sorry, but I have to do this. I forcibly raised my cultivation level, which consumed my life force. Perhaps after I get rid of it, I will leave you too."

"Feel sorry……"
