Chapter 72

Holding hands tightly with Qin Shuang, Mu Feng led the girls in the team to the tomb exit. Due to the use of helmets, they had already lost a lot of sensory perception. Now, with Qin Shuang's hand in his, and after completing the difficult task and returning with a full load, they were even more relaxed. They had no idea that danger was already approaching.

Although it was early morning in real time, the sun was still shining brightly in the game, especially on the Flashing Plains, where the white sand reflected a blinding white light that almost made it impossible to open one's eyes. After emerging from the hole in the tomb and discarding the torches in their hands, Mu Feng and his team took two seconds to adapt before they could clearly see everything outside.

However, what they saw outside the tomb shocked the five of them! They were surrounded by over a thousand people! At the front of the crowd was a warrior in pitch-black armor. His name was Qiu Shang Bie Lian!

"Melancholy Wind, we finally meet!" Qiu Shang Bie Lian's face was filled with a proud smile. Melancholy Wind was finally caught in the net!

"Are you from Ten Directions Annihilation?" Seeing that all the players around him were dressed in black, Mu Feng had already guessed the situation.

"I'll count down from three to one; those who can escape should try their best to do so, and don't let them catch all of us!" Mu Feng quietly said in the team channel.

"That's right! Melancholy Wind, do you know how much I've been despised because of you?" Qiu Shang Bie Lian said with a laugh.

"Hmph, what does it have to do with me?" Mu Feng was indifferent. "Three..."

"You..." Qiu Shang Bie Lian was speechless, feeling frustrated by Mu Feng's words and retracting his arm. "Given the current situation, you should know what I'm going to do, right? I advise you to come over and let me kill you, or else... you will all die here today!" Qiu Shang Bie Lian took out a long black weapon from behind his back.

"Mephisto's Spine!" Although it was dyed black, Mu Feng immediately recognized the weapon as the purple weapon he had obtained during the 25th-level second-class mission! It had been sold to Ten Directions Annihilation by the fat merchant!

"When have you ever heard me admit defeat?" Mu Feng's right hand was tightly pressed against Qin Shuang's, preventing him from equipping a weapon, but his left hand still drew out the Dagger of Destruction, another weapon he had obtained during the 25th-level second-class mission! Unlike Mephisto's Spine, this was a legendary orange weapon filled with mystery and legend! "Two..."

"Since that's the case, die then!" Qiu Shang Bie Lian shouted with a show of bravado!

"One, run!" Mu Feng immediately shouted.

"Boom!" A cloud of black smoke enveloped Mu Feng and his team, which was precisely Ye Luo Cheng Die's smoke bomb! They immediately retreated toward the tomb. Once they entered the narrow tomb passage, the advantage of numbers would be minimized, and they would still have a chance to fight!

"Whoosh!" With the teleportation skill, Bai He was the first to flash into the tomb. As Mu Feng and the others were still running toward the tomb entrance, a bright and intense firelight suddenly appeared, and a massive explosion occurred at the tomb entrance!

"Boom!" The scorching heat wave almost knocked Mu Feng and his team over. The intense explosion had completely flattened the tomb entrance, sealing off their only escape route!

"Ha ha ha... Do you think I wouldn't prevent you from escaping back into the tomb? I had people plant explosives long ago!" Qiu Shang Bie Lian had learned from his mistakes and made thorough preparations!

"I was killed by thieves!" came Bai He's angry roar in the team channel.

"What! Didn't you successfully teleport in?" Mu Feng thought that Bai He, who had successfully teleported in, would have already started reading the hearthstone to return to the city, but she was killed!

"I just teleported in when the tomb entrance exploded. I was blown away and fell to the ground. When I tried to stand up, a few thieves ambushed and killed me instantly!" Bai He said dejectedly. The thieves acted decisively, giving her no chance to resist.

"I'm dead too!" followed by Ye Luo Cheng Die.

"Didn't you escape using stealth?" Qin Shuang asked in shock. Since Bai He had been ambushed, Ye Luo Cheng Die, who could use stealth, was the most likely to escape, but she didn't...

"There were a few hunters with Eagle Eye around, and they detected me!" A detected thief had no chance to fight back. Ye Luo Cheng Die was killed by a group of Ten Directions Annihilation hunters!

"Damn it!" Mu Feng clenched his fists tightly. They had just enjoyed a big meal in real life and completed such a difficult task together. In the end, his teammates died right before his eyes!

Smiling Paladin, this was Mu Feng's earliest nickname, given because he always wore a warm smile and was easy to get along with. But those who knew him well knew that there was one thing he would never tolerate: as a defensive paladin, he would never allow his teammates to die before him! Never!

"Ten Directions Annihilation, Qiu Shang Bie Lian, you have successfully angered me! I will make you pay for angering me!" Mu Feng's left hand, holding the Dagger of Destruction, trembled with anger. This grudge must be repaid tenfold!

"Ouch!" In his excitement, Mu Feng unconsciously increased the force of his grip, and Qin Shuang, whose hand he was holding, could feel his anger.

"The consequences of angering me? Ha ha ha... I'm waiting! Now that your escape route is sealed, you will have to fight your way out from here. I'm waiting for you. Attack!" Raising Mephisto's Spine, Qiu Shang Bie Lian's face was full of provocative smiles. The positioning of the thousand elite players was deliberately arranged, with the weakest point being where he stood, waiting for Mu Feng to charge through a barrage of spells and then finish him off with a single move!

Spells flew toward Mu Feng and his team from all directions. Mu Feng immediately used a clone! A perfect clone separated from him, while his original form entered a 1.5-second invisibility. Unexpectedly, due to the Heart Connection, Qin Shuang also entered invisibility!

"Whoosh!" All the spells hit almost simultaneously, and Mu Feng's clone was instantly killed without a doubt! However, dozens of spells were still flying toward Xiao Jiu, who was standing in place!

"Xiao Jiu!" Mu Feng desperately wanted to shield Xiao Jiu from the spells, but he couldn't!

"Master!" Gao Sen stepped forward again, standing in front of Xiao Jiu. However, the spells were locked on, and unless they could forcibly change the target like Mu Feng's clone, they would inevitably hit! The spells completely ignored Gao Sen and hit Xiao Jiu's small body!

"Brother!~" Xiao Jiu only managed to call out this one word before being overwhelmed by the spells. Mu Feng's team was reduced again, leaving only him and Qin Shuang!

"Let me go first! If I die, you will definitely be able to escape!" Xiao Jiu and Bai He were all gone, leaving only Qin Shuang and Mu Feng. The two, bound by the Heart Connection, were like two people tied together in a three-legged race, unable to fully utilize their combat power! But if Qin Shuang died, the Heart Connection would be broken, and Mu Feng's right hand would be freed. With Mu Feng's strength, there was a chance to escape!

"No, I won't let this happen again! Now it's just you left, and I won't believe I can't protect even one person! I will definitely get you out of here! No one will harm you before I fall!" Mu Feng clenched the Dagger of Destruction in his hand tightly. There must be a way, there must be a solution!

In the previous boss battle, Mu Feng had used all his best tricks. His demon points were down to a pitiful 80, and his most powerful burst ability, which he relied on, had already been used and needed an hour to cool down. How would he deal with the threat from Ten Directions Annihilation? Qiu Shang Bie Lian's face was filled with a smile, and he did not order his subordinates to attack all at once. Instead, he activated the video recording function, waiting for Mu Feng to fall into the trap!
