Mad Escape part 3

In Ryan's heart, a blazing determination ignited. As long as he could accumulate enough points, he could surely escape the Blood Mist Forest alive!

However, the BloodClan monsters around him didn't give Ryan a moment of peace to devour souls and convert them into points. They released countless blood-red wind blades, swooping towards Ryan from afar!

Seeing the onslaught of wind blades, Ryan snorted disdainfully, forced to abandon the progress of system devouring. He threw the headless corpse in his hand and dashed away. In the next moment, the headless corpse was sliced into countless pieces by the sharp wind blades, eventually turning into a mist of blood.

Although the devouring was incomplete, Ryan's points on the system panel had increased to over a thousand at this moment. Almost without hesitation, Ryan exchanged for a bottle of Primary recovery potion and quickly drank it down. After all, dragging around a heavily injured body would make it difficult to survive in this dangerous place!

As the cool liquid of the Primary recovery potion flowed down his throat, a refreshing sensation surged into his body, instantly aiding his heavily wounded body to recover once again. The wounds on his body, constantly oozing blood, gradually began to heal.

Ryan had a massive black vortex hovering above his head. His gaze swiftly swept over the countless BloodClan BloodClans swarming towards him. Only coldness and killing intent remained in his eyes. Ryan once again wielded his Silver Serpent and charged into the midst of the BloodClans blocking his path, displaying extraordinary agility and swordsmanship!

In the blood-red sky of the Blood Mist Forest, Ryan swiftly maneuvered, becoming a ghost on the battlefield. His sword, like the scythe of death, harvested lives among the BloodClans. With each of his movements, the sword light traced a brilliant trajectory in the air, resembling shooting stars in the night sky—beautiful yet deadly. Some lower-level BloodClans couldn't even capture his figure before meeting their demise under his blade. Their bodies fell from the sky like autumn leaves, powerless, and were ultimately devoured by countless others on the ground, leaving no trace of flesh or blood!

This scene was undoubtedly extremely terrifying. The brutal scenes of cannibalism among the BloodClans made Ryan's scalp tingle. It was not only a confrontation with the cruel reality of all life in this place but also a profound awakening to his own potential fate. Here, the law of the jungle was demonstrated to the fullest extent, where every life could become food for others in the next moment.

Fortunately, with countless BloodClan bodies falling from the sky like raindrops, many BloodClans were temporarily attracted by the flesh and blood of their own kind, temporarily giving up the chase for Ryan. This alleviated a lot of pressure on Ryan's breakout. This gave Ryan a flash of inspiration; perhaps he could use the BloodClan nature of these lower-level BloodClans to aid his escape!

Ryan didn't linger in battle. Once again, he grabbed a BloodClan corpse and swiftly escaped the encirclement, dashing away. He was well aware that he couldn't afford a moment of rest. If he were entangled in battle with some powerful BloodClans behind him, he would soon be overwhelmed by the tide of BloodClan monsters rushing in, ending up with no remains left!

While escaping the encirclement, the huge black vortex above Ryan's head was also frantically absorbing the souls and energy from the corpses he had just grabbed.

However, accompanied by a piercing and eerie roar echoing in the sky above the forest, Ryan's heart trembled, and a thick sense of unease instantly enveloped him!

Indeed, he was shocked to discover that the lower-level BloodClan clans, who were originally frenziedly gnawing on their own kind's corpses, abruptly ceased their actions at the eerie roar. Their gazes turned towards the Advanced BloodClan clan emitting the piercing roar, as if understanding the command conveyed. Once again, all the flying BloodClans around surged madly towards Ryan, ensnaring him in a heavy encirclement.

"This is..." Ryan's expression grew solemn as he followed the source of the scream, instantly grasping some understanding.

It was a BloodClan elf with pointed ears, whose strength roughly equated to level 39 among humans. He emitted a ghostly, piercing scream in the air, sharp and ear-piercing, yet containing an undeniable authority and commanding power. Ryan's heart sank as he realized that this advanced BloodClan elf seemed capable of commanding and manipulating the surrounding lower-level BloodClans.

"Damn it! You beasts! Die!" With no other choice, Ryan threw the corpse in his hand, once again interrupting the system's devouring process, drawing his sword to break through the encirclement.

As time passed, Ryan's breakout became increasingly difficult due to the continuous onslaught of BloodClans from all sides. His attempts to utilize the system to devour and convert points also became increasingly challenging.

Eventually, Ryan gave up on devouring altogether, focusing solely on strategizing amidst the ongoing battle.

He found himself in the southwest region of the Blood Mist Forest, belonging to its peripheral areas. Although the BloodClans' strength here wasn't formidable, mostly under level 30, it provided no sense of security. The BloodClans, like locusts covering the sky, were endless. Among these BloodClan monsters were also entities approaching level 40, capable of easily rallying the surrounding lower-level BloodClans. This was undoubtedly a disaster for Ryan!It left him no room for slack; a slight mistake could lead to a more dangerous situation.

However, Ryan felt that continuing to flee was not a solution. He couldn't escape the current predicament. After all, the more he attracted, the more BloodClan monsters would come. If he couldn't quickly accumulate enough points, there would be no hope of escaping this forest. He would soon perish from exhaustion in battle!

With these thoughts, Ryan's expression grew even more solemn.

If he didn't want to be prey, he had to become the hunter! At this moment, his point balance on the system panel exceeded 5000 points, perhaps enough to make a gamble!

Having made up his mind, a resolute gleam flashed in Ryan's eyes, a fierce expression on his face. He silently spent over 5000 points in the system store, purchasing five bottles of Primary recovery potions.

"You damn beasts, listen up! From this moment on, I am the true hunter!" Ryan's voice echoed in the sky above the Blood Mist Forest, filled with challenge and indomitability. Flames burned in his eyes, each word uttered like a vow bursting from between his teeth, firm and domineering. In this decisive moment, Ryan completely halted his previous fleeing. Empowered by the Wings of the Gale, his body was poised for action.

Amidst the bewildered gazes of all the monsters, Ryan was like a shot fired, charging directly towards the Blood Clan monsters following closely behind him with an indescribable speed and strength.

In an instant, a deep chasm seemed to tear through the midst of the monster horde. The weaker Blood Clan members surrounding him were like fragile paper before his power, easily torn apart and swiftly eliminated. Ryan's target was locked onto the powerful BloodClan elf possessing commanding authority. His figure darted through the enemy ranks, with the force of a thunderbolt, unwaveringly charging towards the formidable adversary.

Watching the humans charging fearlessly towards him, the BloodClan male BloodClan elf, locked in Ryan's killing intent, revealed an excited expression on his face, full of mockery. He couldn't help but extend his long tongue to lick his crimson lips. Then, he casually extended his hand, conjuring a blood-red magic array in front of him. Immediately, the magic array shot out countless blood arrows, piercing through the bodies of numerous low-level BloodClans ahead and heading straight for Ryan.

Seeing the blood-red rain of arrows rushing towards him, Ryan didn't choose to confront them head-on. Instead, he quickly released a vast amount of magic to gather the corpses of the surrounding lower-level BloodClans and continuously threw them forward, offsetting most of the blood arrows. He then swiftly took out a large number of magic crystals from his magic storage ring, crushed them, and infused them into the Wings of the Gale behind him. With extremely agile speed, he dodged the remaining blood arrows and rapidly approached his target, wielding his sword.

The BloodClan elf's excitement grew more apparent upon seeing Ryan easily evade the arrow rain he unleashed. Because the stronger this human was, the more his strength would increase after being consumed later!

Watching the human rapidly closing the distance between them, the BloodClan elf didn't continue his attack. Instead, he awaited Ryan's arrival with a smirk, ready to tear him into shreds with his bare hands and then feast on him eagerly.

In the blink of an eye, Ryan's figure arrived before him. His sword swung fiercely towards the BloodClan elf's head, carrying boundless killing intent.

Faced with the gradually enlarging blade before him, the BloodClan elf casually reached out and grabbed the sharp longsword in his hand. Just as he contemptuously prepared to kill the human before him, his vision inexplicably was obstructed by a mysterious black hole. Then, his head buzzed, stars bursting before his eyes, briefly losing consciousness.

As it turned out, Ryan had long anticipated that his sword alone wouldn't pose a substantial threat to the monster. So, using the sword as bait, he secretly released a basic devouring skill, infusing half of his body's magic into his other hand to conjure a massively powerful black hole. Seizing the moment when the BloodClan elf relaxed his guard and underestimated him, Ryan mercilessly smashed the black hole in his hand towards the enemy's head!

Obviously, everything happened so suddenly that the BloodClan elf paid the price for his underestimation!

Taking advantage of his opponent's weakness, Ryan swiftly drew out the Silver Serpent that the BloodClan elf had grabbed, channeling all his magic into the blade. With a dazzling flash of sword light, the BloodClan elf before him instantly became a headless corpse, its head thrown away!

At the moment of death, the BloodClan elf regained consciousness, but it was already too late. His face filled with horror as he watched his body drifting further and further away, only then realizing that he had been killed by the seemingly weak human before him.

"It can't be..." Amidst endless remorse, the BloodClan elf lost consciousness, his head falling from the sky, eventually disappearing without a trace amidst the countless lower-level BloodClans fighting over it.

Having successfully killed a nearly level 40 BloodClan monster, Ryan quickly took action. He grabbed the headless corpse with his left hand and continuously swung his sword with his right, unleashing sharp sword light to kill the approaching low-level BloodClans one by one. Meanwhile, the huge vortex above his head crazily devoured the soul and energy of the BloodClan elf.

With the loss of the Advanced BloodClan's influence, the low-level BloodClans immediately descended into chaos. They eagerly rushed forward to scavenge the falling corpses, allowing Ryan to once again break free from the thick encirclement of BloodClans.

However, the respite was short-lived. In less than a minute, another BloodClan monster, this one exceeding level 40, charged towards him from afar, emitting a thunderous roar akin to a rallying call. In an instant, the disorderly low-level BloodClans from all directions were organized once again by the monster's command.

Seeing this, Ryan reluctantly took a deep breath and once again crushed a large number of magic crystals to replenish his magic reserves. Then, with a cold sneer, he condensed dozens of black holes in his hand and hurled them towards the approaching monsters behind him, halting their advance. Immediately afterward, the Wings of the Tempest behind him surged vigorously, grabbing the headless corpse and plunging fiercely towards the forest floor.

Realizing that his magic consumption was too high in the air, perhaps he could use the dense jungle on the ground to buy some time for the system to devour!
