Chapter 487: Encountering the Demon
In the hunting ground.
Dun Jun was lying in a shadow, his body covered with dirt and moss, and he looked like a small mound of earth.
He has maintained this disguise for several red moons.
Dunjun is like a beast ready to hunt, quietly waiting for its prey to take the bait.
"It's already the seventh day..."
His thoughts wandered slightly.
Seven days ago, Dunjun and all the Lower City players who participated in the Abyss Game were dispersed and sent to this 'hunting ground'.
It has fixed boundaries that ordinary people cannot cross.
Tens of thousands of participants were randomly dropped inside, carrying weapons and two days' worth of food, and began fighting.
And this area will even continue to "shrink". A certain extraordinary person in the upper city used his ability to create a fixed-form poisonous fog that would not be blown away by the wind.
Every once in a while, the fog would move closer to the center, forcing the participants to move toward the center and kill each other.
During these seven days, Dunjun has killed many people, been hunted down, and witnessed all kinds of evil. In order to survive, the participants are willing to do anything.
Once, there was a good-looking woman who wanted to use her beauty to exchange for food and protection from him, but Dun Jun simply cut her throat.
After the other party fell down, he searched the woman's body and found a large number of poisoned needles.
Thanks to the special training in the dream that night, Dun Jun is still alive today, but he is not sure whether he can become the final winner.
Because those damn rich people in the upper town added some monsters to the hunting grounds.
They originate from the wilderness outside the city, have strange shapes, and have disgusting pus flowing on their surface.
Dunjun once encountered one and was very glad that it chose to chase another participant, otherwise he would probably have been killed.
And he heard that these monsters, which were only stronger and faster, were like rats in the wilderness area, and there were even stranger and scarier monsters roaming around.
For Dunjun, this was just another way to interrupt his unrealistic thoughts like fleeing to the wilderness and make him more determined in his plans.
At this time , Dun Jun's eyes narrowed and his mind became highly concentrated.
He saw his 'prey'!
A figure was holding a crossbow and moving quickly, seemingly avoiding something.
This made him relax his observation of the surrounding environment slightly, and he did not notice the well-hidden Dun Jun.
Closer and closer!
Dunjun suddenly had an idea: "Why is it him?"
He recognized this boy, he was his friend, a big blond boy named 'Enke', he had two cute dimples when he smiled.
Unexpectedly, the other party also participated in this game!
For a moment, Dun Jun hesitated.
Do you want to do it yourself? Kill your friends?
Under the gaze of countless 'audiences'?
But even if they don't take action, they are bound to lose personnel as the "poison circle" continues to shrink.
In the end, there is often only one winner , or even no winner at all!
Looking at the approaching figure, Dun Jun made up his mind.
He gripped the dagger tightly and his body began to gather strength slightly.
When Enke came nearby, he suddenly jumped up and pounced on Enke's back.
The next moment, Enke suddenly turned around, and the two men approached each other quickly, and they could see each other's faces.
Dunjun could also see that the crossbow in Enke's hand had been raised up, ready to go.
"Oh no, it's a trap!"
'He noticed me?'
All the pores on Dun Jun's body tightened and his heart was filled with despair, but his body continued to rush forward under the influence of inertia.
clang!
The sound of a crossbow being fired was heard.
Dunjun didn't feel any pain, but he subconsciously stabbed the dagger in his hand into Enke's ribs and twisted him hard.
Bang!
Enke fell backwards to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.
BANG!!
The sound of a heavier object falling to the ground was heard behind him.
When Dun Jun looked back, he saw a disgusting monster with a bull's head and a human body, pus oozing from its skin. It had an arrow in its eye and was lying on the ground.
'I... its target... is me!'
Dunjun looked at Enke with a blank expression: "Enke wanted to save me? And I... killed him? No..."
He quickly squatted down and blocked Enke's heart wound: "No... Enke... I'm sorry..."
Enke struggled twice, and his eyes turned deathly gray.
He is dead.
"ah!"
Dun Jun's eyes were filled with tears. He raised his head and wanted to scream, but he was afraid of attracting other predators, so he could only cover his mouth tightly and struggle on the ground.
…
This scene also turned into a magic picture and appeared in a theater in the upper city.
"Whoa whoa!"
Many well-dressed gentlemen and ladies exclaimed in surprise.
"No matter how many times I see this deepest despair, it always makes me feel something..."
A lady dressed in gorgeous attire shielded her face with a folding fan and laughed like a nightingale.
"Ms. Alice, this is our usual arrangement..."
A middle-aged gentleman nearby smiled and said, "When signing up, give priority to friends, couples, brothers and sisters, and even fathers and sons... and keep it confidential... In this way, there will be such wonderful programs occasionally... The choice of the little guy with the crossbow does not surprise me. I have seen many similar ones, and many opposite choices... Whether they are alive or dead, their death, sadness, pain, despair... are the best fuel!"
"So... the savings are enough?"
Alice asked.
"That's enough. There are about a hundred people left. We can start now."
The middle-aged man said with a hint of enthusiasm: "I bet one of them can survive..."
"Oh haha... Then I bet... There won't be any. After all, ordinary people who are not prepared at all will have to face the real 'hell'!"
Ms. Alice laughed.
"Well, let's wait and see... Let's start the 'Moment of Demon'!"
The middle-aged man stood up and said loudly.
This was kept strictly confidential in the Lower Town area.
The Moment of Demons... It is a magical item with powerful functions. It was discovered from the ruins and is now the main source of extraordinary people in the Steam City!
That’s right!
Since the destruction and rebirth of the universe, the rules of the world have changed to a certain extent, and some extraordinary paths left behind by prehistoric civilizations can no longer be chosen.
Horrible pollution buried underground.
The humans in this world had to fight against all kinds of monsters as ordinary people at the beginning.
Until they discovered a little truth about the world.
Only mystery can give birth to the extraordinary!
And all the mysteries are located underground, in that filthy hell and abyss!
In this world, the only way to become an extraordinary person is to actively sink into the abyss of hell and obtain the "mystery" from the wreckage of the past!
The Moment of Demon is a tool that can make all living beings in an area sink into hell on their own initiative!
