Jiang You stood up from the ground in a daze.

In front of him, the field was in chaos.

Remains of trees and gravel were piled haphazardly.

Bodies and debris overlapped with each other.

Blood poured on the bones, some of them were motionless, and some were still breathing.

Amidst the noise, people kept getting up, with confused and frightened faces on their faces.

Most of them stayed there stupidly for several seconds, until they smelled the rich blood in their noses and suddenly came to their senses.

"Mother?"

"Ayu, Ayu, where are you?"

"Juan'er wake up!"

Then, he began to call out the names of his relatives.

They stood up in a hurry, some of them couldn't hold back their tears and were crying and on the verge of collapse.

Who would have thought that one moment they were still on their way, and the next moment the situation suddenly changed and a shock wave swept across the entire team.

A team of ten thousand people who seemed to have a certain amount of strength was as brittle as a piece of paper, easily broken at the touch of a finger.

"Sixth level ancient demon species..."

No one has this kind of luck.

Old Hu looked sad.

There are indeed many high-level people in the abyss, but the sixth level is not that easy to encounter.

What's more, he happened to meet an ancient demon species.

Fortunately, the other party didn't pay attention to this "bug".

I was so busy on my way that I didn't even pay attention to this place.

The shock wave didn't have much of a targeted meaning. It swept past the team. At the critical moment, a sword-wielding man swung his sword...

Even so, the current situation still resulted.

"Save people first."

Jiang You's Adam's apple floated, and he stepped forward and started digging.

The shock wave swept across, and the entire team was knocked to pieces, and many people were buried by the thrown debris.

Even if people are piled up against each other, they can still bury others.

People are constantly being dug up and put aside. If they can survive with ordinary people's bodies, it is also a good fortune.

Didn't survive...

It's also normal, after all, this is an abyss.

Jiang You thought of many ways to reduce the number of members in the team, but he never thought that he would encounter this.

Rescue work is gradually underway.

The personnel are relocated and a separate area is cleared.

Thanks to the remaining momentum of the ancient demon species, probably no alien species will approach this place in the next period of time.

After a few hours, almost everyone who could be saved was rescued.

At a rough glance, the team has been reduced by almost half.

Only a portion of those died directly from the shock wave.

More died from:

If he fell and failed to rescue an important part in time, no one would notice the shock after the fall, which further stimulated alienation and directly led to the disintegration of the body.

Some were buried directly by the crowd and suffocated to death.

"Head count."

Jiang You sat back at the head of the team and said confused.

"Okay." Yu Yanxi concealed her sadness, agreed, turned around and went to execute it.

Jiang You sat quietly and suddenly said, "How much has the soul of the deceased absorbed?"

"They should have absorbed a lot, and the power I can use has increased a lot." Old Hu sighed, "They are not strong enough and have not been included in the personality..."

In other words, these dead people are directly absorbed by the dead souls as nutrients.

Lao Hu patted the young man on the shoulder, opened his mouth slightly, and finally shook his head and closed it again.

Time passed bit by bit until Yu Yanxi finished counting the team's damage.

"We still have 28,000 people left, of which about 3,000 are disabled..."

"The original Reef City garrison has 150 people remaining in the fourth level, 400 people in the third level, 800 people in the second level, and about 600 people in the first level."

"There are two thousand sword holders left."

Ordinary people suffered heavy injuries, but the impact on high-level extraordinary beings was not great.

The sword wielder has good fighting power, but lacks endurance. Every time he swings a sword, no matter how strong or weak it is, his lifespan will be consumed.

They can withstand the shock wave, but they will die at the cost of the sword.

After some tidying up, the deceased were simply buried together, and the team set off again.

The cruelty and impermanence of the abyss are imprinted on everyone's hearts.

The team is walking on thin ice, carefully guarding their surroundings, although this may not be of much use.

Moving forward like this, under the direction guided by Lao Hu, a huge burning mountain appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Almost there."

Lao Hu spoke out.

"Is that the Chang Burning Valley?"

Jiang You's eyes were solid.

Contrary to what he imagined, he originally thought that the so-called Changfen Valley would be shaped like a "Fire Mountain".

Or several alien and strange active volcanoes.

In fact, the overall terrain of Changfen Valley is no different from ordinary mountains.

The so-called eternal burning is a layer of burning black flames.

Pure black flame.

They are attached to the valley, and when viewed from a distance, the whole mountain looks strange and strange.

No wonder there are no alien species nearby. The team was so far apart that Jiang You could already feel the aura coming from the Chang Burn Valley.

"Director Jiang, do we really want to go there?"

Some people couldn't help but ask questions.

"It's called the Everlasting Burning Valley. The flames do great harm to alien species, and we humans can withstand it."

"Director Jiang is real or not, it doesn't look safe there."

"Changburn Valley, as long as we avoid the flames, we can cross safely." Jiang You turned around and nodded.

Thousands of eyes focused on him.

The few people who had spoken before did not speak again and looked at him silently.

Obviously, the ancient demon species showed great power, and more than half of the team was killed or injured.

It had some impact on everyone.

In one encounter, more than 20,000 people were killed or injured, including their relatives, neighbors, and friends... who instantly turned into nothingness.

If they knew that all the "souls" were being sucked away by Jiang You's soul as nourishment, they might not be able to rush up angrily and beat this kid to death.

They are willing to hold on for fifty years, even if they fight alien species to the death.

But I don’t want to die in confusion under the leadership of a wrong person.

It is perfectly normal to have such doubts.

Before Jiang You could say anything, whispers rang out from the crowd.

"Director Jiang, can we trust you?"

Jiang You was slightly startled.

After looking around for a moment, he nodded slightly.

He waved and the team followed his footsteps and moved forward.
To be continued...
