Chapter 299 They are all monsters!

Fan Te Xi moved forward cautiously.

In front of him stretched a dense jungle, where the weeds on the ground reached up to his thighs, and the tall shrubs and banana trees grew dozens of meters high, so tall that even looking up, he couldn’t see the tops. Everything had become gigantic!

Next to him ran a small stream, about three to four meters wide, but the water wasn’t clear—it was murky and carried a foul stench. Every now and then, he spotted half-eaten skeletons or carcasses drifting downstream, luring weak scavenger beasts to jump into the water.

Sadly, what awaited them wasn’t a feast, because as they approached the center of the stream, countless palm-sized, sharp-toothed fish would burst out of the seemingly shallow water. Like leeches, the fish swarmed and latched onto the scavenger beasts, pulling them under in seconds.

Just moments ago, another demon wolf had fallen prey to those fish, which made Fan Te Xi give up on crossing the stream again. But...

Bzzzzzz!

It was a mosquito the size of an arm. When Fan Te Xi looked up, he saw it diving down at him from about three to four meters above.

His eyes widened, and he shouted.

Boom!

Fan Te Xi’s soul power erupted instantly. The giant mosquito, aside from its size, was just an ordinary insect and couldn’t withstand the pressure of soul power. It spun drunkenly in the air, disoriented, and Fan Te Xi leaped up, fists clenched, and smashed down.

Boom!

The giant mosquito was reduced to a bloody pulp on the ground.

Fan Te Xi landed, gasping for breath. There were many giant mosquitoes in this jungle. Though they were just mosquitoes, Fan Te Xi had seen a bull-sized beast swarmed by a dozen of them earlier that morning, and within minutes, it was drained to a skeleton.

Honestly, Fan Te Xi was terrified. Even though the one at his feet was already dead, the stench of pus and blood oozing from its belly, and the still twitching mouthparts, reminded him of crab pincers...

He fought back his disgust and stomped on it, crushing the mosquito to bits.

Tense, scared, and not daring to look more, what kind of place had he been transported to? Mosquitoes as big as dogs, ants as big as calves, mantises as big as elephants—damn it, how was anyone supposed to survive here!

Fan Te Xi didn’t dare to stay in one place for long, fearing that the blood from the dead mosquito would attract more creatures. The area infested with giant mosquitoes was clearly not a good hiding spot, but he also didn’t dare to cross the stream, so he decided to follow the stream upstream.

He took one step and stopped three times, his entire body on high alert.

Other Holy Sanctuary disciples or War Academy cultivators might only be wary of each other here, but Ah Xi had to be cautious of so many things—mosquitoes, flies, ants...

Rustle rustle rustle...

A sound came from the bushes ahead, and Ah Xi's already tense heart leaped even higher. He suddenly stopped, quickly hiding behind the nearby bushes, and listened carefully.

It seemed there was no further sound?

Fan Te Xi held his breath, not daring to make a sound, and slowly turned his head to peek at the spot where the noise had come from.

It seemed quiet.

He only glanced briefly before turning back.

Ah Xi frowned, remembering the "survival mantra" Feng had taught him—to live long, one must always be cautious!

Don’t panic, wait a bit longer! The other party might also be, be...!!!

When Ah Xi turned back, his pupils contracted, his mouth forming an "O," and his already red, chubby face turned purple in an instant.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

A face was right in front of his eyes, staring at him with wide-eyed enthusiasm: "Hi."

Ah Xi's throat moved, and he made a few guttural sounds before his eyes widened, and he fainted straight away.

"Damn it! Fatty!"

Winnie was just teasing him, but the guy's courage was too small, making her both angry and amused. She thought to herself, "Am I not adorable? Why is he so scared?"

She gave him a hard kick on his fat butt, waking him up. Just as he was about to scream, Winnie glared at him and scolded, "Fatty, what are you yelling for? Don't you recognize me? It's me, Winnie Lee!"

Ah Xi was stunned, his mouth agape, and it took him a while to snap out of it. Then he was both shocked and delighted, almost unable to believe his eyes: "W-Winnie! How did you get here?"

"Attracted by your idiocy," Winnie said irritably. "You were so worked up about killing a mosquito, even howling like a wolf. You're just lucky it was me. If it were someone from the War Academy nearby, you'd be feeding the fish in the river by now!"

Ah Xi's face turned red. It wasn't excitement when he was killing the mosquito; it was fear! The roar was just to boost his own courage...

This wasn't the time to keep talking about this with Winnie. Ah Xi coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject: "Winnie, where's Feng? Have you seen him? Let's go find him!"

"Find what? Staying alive is the main thing," Winnie said, her eyes narrowing. She might be reckless usually, but she had good judgment in critical moments: "Old Wang doesn't look like someone who'd kick the bucket early, and he usually delivers on his boasts. Let's not panic. Just wait for him to find us when we move to the second layer!"

Winnie being cautious surprised and delighted Ah Xi. In his impression, Winnie seemed like the type who would drag him into enemy traps.

"Damn it, do you think I'm that dumb? Especially with you as a burden! Of course, we should find a spot to hide here and wait for the chance to move to the second layer." She looked around at the dense bushes and squinted: "Those mosquitoes only go after moving targets. If we don't move, they won't bother us. With them buzzing around, this place is actually more secure."

Ah Xi broke into a cold sweat. He hadn't thought of that, but now he felt much more at ease. Afraid Winnie was being sarcastic, he volunteered: "I'll set up a tent!"

"A tent, my foot!" Winnie glared at him and kicked him aside: "Do you want to be spotted by everyone? Move aside and watch me show you how it's done!"

The Lee family, one of the League of Blades' eight great families, might not be the best at direct combat, but when it comes to stealth, camouflage, and traps, they are the absolute masters of the entire alliance.

She cut a few thick branches and skillfully propped them up in the bushes, creating two small spaces. After some camouflage, it looked like a messy bush from the outside, but from inside, they could see out through the dense gaps. It was enough for hiding.

Winnie let Ah Xi go in first, then she fumbled around outside, removing all traces of their presence before slipping into the hiding spot.

Surrounded by dense bushes, the quiet and enclosed space gave Ah Xi a rare sense of security.

The two small spaces were separated by a few bushes. They chatted for a bit, exhausted from the day. Ah Xi, who had been on high alert all day, yawned and drifted off to sleep.

He didn't know how long he slept when suddenly, a scream echoed from afar.

"Ahhh!"

The scream was so horrifying that it jolted Ah Xi awake. He instinctively lowered his voice and called out, "Winnie, Winnie!"

"Shh!"

Winnie's voice calmed Ah Xi's racing heart a little, and his mind cleared.

The scream was quickly approaching. Peeking through the gaps in the bushes, they saw three cultivators wearing different War Academy uniforms. They must have met along the way and teamed up. Two of them had just entered Ah Xi's field of vision when they collapsed straight to the ground, unnoticed. The remaining one kept running toward Ah Xi and Winnie's hiding spot, looking back in terror and crying out, "Help! Help!"

He was getting closer, but he was losing strength. His voice grew weaker, and his running slowed.

Gurgle, gurgle... His throat made strange noises, and he suddenly fell to his knees, his eyes wide open, his hands clutching his throat.

His entire body turned green, and egg-sized blisters began to spread from his neck to the rest of his body, swelling and bursting, oozing pus. Soon, his entire body turned into a pool of green, pus-filled liquid...

Then, a bizarre-looking figure ran over from the distance.

"Running so far and so scattered, what a hassle to clean up!" He ran over cheerfully, standing in front of the pool of green liquid. He dipped his finger in the pus and licked it: "Hmm, this one tastes good!"

"Ugh!"

Fan Xixi couldn’t hold back, his throat contracted, and he gagged.

But Maxwell seemed not to hear it. He stood up with a smile, shook the huge tumor on his left shoulder, and a gas escaped. From the green pus, countless tiny green dots crawled out, like little bugs, then flew back into his tumor following the scent.

Maxwell stretched out his arms with satisfaction, breathing in the air, as if letting those green dot-like bugs enter his body was a great pleasure, making him more excited and energetic.

Fan Xixi tightly covered his mouth and stared. Although Maxwell was also from the Holy Sanctuary, truth be told, aside from Ye Dun and a handful of others, other Holy Sanctuary disciples would never want to contact this repulsive, deranged lunatic, even if they had contact with the people from the Dark Demon Island.

Over there, Maxwell quickly finished the cleanup work.

Let’s go, let’s go, get out of here after the kill!

Fan Xixi silently prayed in his heart. Seeing that Maxwell indeed turned to leave, Fan Xixi also breathed a big sigh of relief. But unexpectedly, the next second, Maxwell suddenly turned his head, his huge green eyes staring in the direction of Fan Xixi’s bush.

"The game is over!" he declared with manic enthusiasm, "Will you come out by yourselves, or..."

The bush remained silent, with no response.

Maxwell laughed. He shook his shoulder, the huge tumor like a volcano slightly opened a small hole, green smoke sprayed out from the small hole, and he pranced around gleefully, "Run poison, run poison, run poison..."

They’ve been found out.

Fan Xixi only saw those faintly visible tiny green dots in the green mist that had killed the man and turned him into pus. He was terrified out of his wits. It would be better to be chopped to death immediately than to die like this ten thousand times!

He was about to rush out of the bush, but Winnie’s voice had already sounded before him.

"Maxwell, it’s me!"

The green mist floating in the air instantly solidified, and Maxwell’s excited expression instantly fell.

He frowned towards Winnie, paused for a few seconds, as if wrestling with a tough decision, and finally shrugged helplessly.

Swish!

The tumor shuddered, and the green mist withdrew.

Rustling...

The sound of branches shaking hundreds of meters away was sudden and urgent, clearly someone had just dashed through there.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Maxwell obviously heard it, his expression immediately turned excited again, his face split into a wide grin, his little pets had a new target!

He lifted his left leg, leaned back slightly, and prepared to sprint in that direction.

Boom!

Like a souped-up motorcycle roaring to life, he shot off in that direction. For some, this place was hell, but for others, it was paradise.

"Whoo-hoo!" Maxwell shouted excitedly.

Boom boom boom!

From a distance, the sound of bushes being smashed through echoed. The bushes were in disarray, collapsing in swathes, as if a freight train had plowed through!

Maxwell was gone in the blink of an eye.

Fancy, hidden in the bushes, was nearly scared out of his wits. It took him a moment to recover: "This, this person is terrifying... Isn't he from the Holy Sanctuary? He clearly heard your voice just now, but from his hesitant expression, it seemed like he really wanted to kill us..."

"Not just wanted to," Winnie Lee was also a bit shaken. She wasn't afraid of direct confrontations, but she was truly apprehensive about Maxwell, a disgusting poison expert: "If it weren't for the consideration of the Lee family, if it weren't for what Yakray said before we left... we probably would have been done for today!"

Rules?

Honestly, after entering the Soul Illusion Realm, rules no longer exist. Even Yakray's threats are somewhat powerless here. As long as there are no survivors, who knows who did what?

"Be careful!" Winnie finally let out a long breath, then fiercely said to Fancy: "This place is crawling with maniacs, don't give us away again!"
