Chapter 65

The rainstorm grew fiercer, as if all the rain from the entire Tianyuan World had concentrated above Devil Dragon Island, attempting to crush this island of beasts into the depths of the ocean.

Amidst the raging storm, a strange change was brewing in the darkness.

"Huff, huff, huff, huff!"

A Blue Team contestant stumbled into a narrow cave, unable to hold on any longer. He first knelt on his knees, then fell forward, his face ashen and devoid of any color, his body trembling as if in convulsions.

An hour ago, he had been pursued by three Red Team contestants. Fortunately, the heavy rain had obscured their vision, allowing him to narrowly escape the encirclement.

However, the Red Team contestants were increasing in number, and he didn't know how long he could hold out.

"Damn it, we were about to win, how did it turn into this!"

The Blue Team contestant punched the rock wall in frustration, his despair reaching its peak. A dark light was gathering in his eyes.

He poked his head out of the cave, squinting as he looked up at the sky.

His Puchi Beast was circling a large tree like a headless fly, making a "rustling" sound, seemingly out of control.

"The rain and thunder are interfering with the control chip of the Puchi Beast. Now, the Puchi Beast and the Liao Yuan have lost connection. If I move a bit more discreetly, I should be able to escape the Puchi Beast's surveillance!"

The darkness in the Blue Team contestant's eyes grew more intense.

The sounds of the Red Team contestants could be faintly heard from all around, the encirclement gradually tightening, and they would soon reach the cave where he was hiding.

The darkness in the Blue Team contestant's eyes turned into a sinister expression.

He extended his finger, bit it until it bled, and used the blood to draw a spirit symbol on the inside of his right thigh.

The inside of his right thigh immediately felt a searing pain, as if something was tearing through the flesh, about to break free!

"Ugh—"

The Blue Team contestant gritted his teeth. Then, the spirit symbol began to tremble, and a strange force tore open the muscles on the inside of his thigh. In the center of the symbol, a fluorescent blue vial of medicine emerged!

"I didn't want to cheat unless absolutely necessary, but now I'm at a dead end, and it's you who have forced me!"

"This vial of 'Ghost Dragon 7 Stimulant' can instantly enhance my body and drastically boost my strength. It can also enhance my brain, allowing me to launch a powerful mental attack, enough to eliminate these damned pursuers and break into the top fifty of the rankings!"

The Blue Team contestant's face twisted into a sinister grin, his expression utterly mad.

Using the "Ghost Dragon 7 Stimulant" would, of course, have severe side effects, but in the face of the temptation of a special university admission, he couldn't afford to care about that!

Blocking the Puchi Beast's view with his body, the Blue Team contestant activated the catalytic symbol of the "Ghost Dragon 7" and was about to inject the stimulant into his body.

Suddenly, a strange laugh echoed from deep within the cave, followed by a fierce, foul wind!

Before the Blue Team contestant could react, everything went black, and he knew nothing more!

His Puchi Beast finally sensed something amiss and instantly sprayed gel, but it only wrapped around a headless corpse.

Then, the gel was forcefully pushed out by a strange force, and a white light shot up into the air, swiftly grabbing the Puchi Beast and tearing it apart with both hands!

The Puchi Beast split into two, the scene incredibly bloody!

Amidst the storm, about one-third of the Puchi Beasts had lost contact with the monitoring center, and this one was among them.

Thus, the monitoring center did not detect this scene in time.

Lightning flashed across the sky, occasionally illuminating the black forest in a snow-white light.

Under the lightning, a white ape over three meters tall stood on a tree branch. Its face was extremely similar to a human's, except for a huge yellow eye on its forehead, which almost took up half of its face, pushing the two normal eyes to the sides.

It looked like a deformed fetus, appearing incredibly sinister and terrifying.

This was a Giant Eye Ape, a mutant that would only appear among a thousand Three-Eyed Apes. It possessed superior intelligence and mental attack power ten times stronger than a regular Three-Eyed Ape. It was a powerful beast released during the final round and one of the most terrifying beasts on Devil Dragon Island.

"Ha ha, ha ha!"

Amidst the lightning and thunder, the Giant Eye Ape emitted a strange laugh, and in its furry hand, the "Ghost Dragon 7" glowed with an eerie blue light.

The enormous yellow eye on the Giant Eye Ape's forehead rotated several times, quickly figuring out the operation method. Without hesitation, it injected the "Ghost Dragon 7 Stimulant" into its thick neck, and with a "hiss," the stimulant was entirely injected into its bloodstream.

"Roar, roar, roar, roar!"

A moment later, the Giant Eye Ape began to tremble uncontrollably!

With a series of strange muscle spasms, its skin split open, and its bloody muscles grew at an alarming rate. Even between the muscle bundles, clusters of flesh buds sprouted, intertwining, swelling, and merging, becoming engorged with blood... causing its body to swell to more than twice its original size, transforming it into a ferocious beast!

The single eye on its forehead turned a nearly solid blood red!

"There, I found it!"

At that moment, an excited shout from a nearby Red Team contestant echoed.

Under the lightning, a sinister smile appeared on the Giant Eye Ape's ghostly face, and it shot toward the direction of the shout!

Immediately, the depths of the forest echoed with the sounds of flesh being torn, bones being crushed, and hysterical screams!

...

Ten minutes later.

In the supply point, Li Yao sat cross-legged, eyes closed, meditating. On his left was a chainsaw sword, on his right a thunder war knife, a burning sky battle axe was stuck in his back, and two black daggers crossed at his waist, fully armed and ready for combat.

If any Blue Team contestant dared to enter the supply point, he would not hesitate to kill them!

"Only one more day, this rainstorm won't stop anytime soon. My points are still in first place, so there shouldn't be any unexpected issues."

Li Yao thought to himself, a hint of relief finally appearing on his face.

Deep Sea University, tremble, Li Yao the Vulture is coming!

At that moment, his eyelids began to twitch violently, and a sense of unease flashed through his brain.

"Something's wrong, there's a strong smell of blood, a very strong smell of blood!"

A familiar figure leaped out of the forest, emitting a pig-like scream, frantically fleeing toward the supply point.

It was Zheng Dongming!

Li Yao was stunned—Zheng Dongming was a top-tier expert from Fengshan No. 2 High School, rumored to be on par with Helian Lie, or even slightly superior!

What could have frightened him to this extent?
