Madness and Killing

The five members of the Wildfire Team stood in a seemingly random line in the cave prison, shielding Chen Gou and An Zhanyu, who were at the back and in the next cell respectively.

The two of them had secretly made a pact, which was a prerequisite for the Morph Skill to be used.

Meanwhile, An Zhanyu naturally did whatever Chen Gou requested.

After a moment, the strong curly-bearded man who had hijacked the plane earlier walked in with two mallets.

"Let me introduce myself first. My code name is Violent Bear. I have some good and some bad news for you guys… The bad news is that more than two-thirds of you are going to die!"

All the captives turned pale in unison, but someone asked while trembling, "What about the good news?"

Violent Bear grinned. "The good news is that up to 10 of you will get the chance to join us and stay alive. However, you will need to pass a test."

Everyone fell silent again.

Once they joined the Blood Umbrella Organization, there would be no turning back. They would have to live the rest of their lives as traitors!

In a jiffy, a middle-aged man with a face full of pockmarks and a thin figure asked in a deep voice, "What's the test about?"

Violent Bear was over two meters tall and thus taller than everyone there. As he looked down at everyone, he said with an evil grin, "In a moment, I'll open all the cell doors and come back in half an hour. When I do, there must be 10 people or less standing here. These people will automatically pass.

"If there are more than 10 people, then all of you will be sent to the lab to become test subjects for the virus bloodline potion."

"B*stard, you want us to kill each other?" A Demon Huntress snarled.

"How could I have joined the Blood Umbrella Organization unless I was a b*stard?"

Violent Bear's eyes were fierce, and he curled his lips in a bantering manner. "Not only am I going to make you guys kill each other, but I'll also record it with a magical artifact! If any of you are disobedient in the future, this video will be sent to the Covenant."

"Shameless! Despicable! All of you are not humans!"

The Demon Huntress stared at Violent Bear. If her stare could kill, Violent Bear would have been cut into pieces.

Violent Bear, who was not angered by her insults, just looked at her before saying with a smile, "I look forward to you surviving. Alright, you guys still have 10 minutes to prepare. Of course, you are all basically trash. The organization wants to pick a few people among you who are slightly more valuable to cultivate, so to be fair, we will use the Magic Prohibition Ball to suppress the cave's magic fluctuation so that everyone's strength will be below Level 10."

After Violent Bear said that, a few followers behind him opened the cell doors and unlocked the magic prohibition shackles on the captives' hands.

The captives didn't dare to revolt, even if they recovered their powers.

Since Violent Bear had dared to do this, he was naturally fully prepared and had expected every possible reaction.

Besides, they were not united and had no advanced communication. Who would dare do something suicidal at the moment?

Most importantly, when they had been on the aircraft, all their magical artifacts, particularly their storage equipment, had been taken away.

Without these pieces of equipment, their combat power had been greatly reduced, so they couldn't fight back.

However, Chen Gou was an exception, as the storage space of the system had no external carrier.

Therefore, the people from the Blood Umbrella Organization hadn't noticed it. They had only taken away two important artifacts: the silver-grade Deathwalker Armor and the bronze-grade Ghost Cloak.

In addition, he had also secretly put the ancient cross necklace into the storage space.

Violent Bear strutted over to An Zhanyu. "Young Master An, let's go. Don't worry. You'll be able to watch this good show from the outside."

"Hold on." An Zhanyu walked out of the prison cell and said while pointing at Chen Gou, "I like this kid. Take him away. I want him to be my attendant."

Violent Bear's eyes focused on him with a hint of suspicion. He sized up Chen Gou and said, "This kid doesn't even have fully-grown hair, and his level is pitifully low. Why do you want him? I'll find you a powerful and beautiful female guard that you can do whatever you want with."

"I'm tired of playing with women. What do you care if my taste has changed?"

An Zhanyu then said with a sneer, "Cut the crap and release him. I want him!"

Dead silence filled the entire prison instantly, and even the Wildfire Team looked at Chen Gou with strange gazes.

Violent Bear felt a chill and stepped backward.

"No! If you want to make a request, you will need to make some contributions first. The organization is clear about rewards and punishment. Just because you broke the rules, it doesn't mean that he has to rely on himself to pass the test."

Violent Bear wanted An Zhanyu to realize the situation he was currently in and thus coldly rejected his request.

"Don't embarrass me!"

An Zhanyu couldn't do anything about this difficult situation. He could only symbolically encourage Chen Gou before Violent Bear took him away.

After the people from the Blood Umbrella Organization left, the atmosphere in the prison turned even more intricate.

33 people were quickly divided into several small groups based on their prison cells.

Some of them were cellmates who had just met each other and stuck with their cell unit.

Some of them were like Chen Gou and the Wildfire Team, who knew each other and were also locked up in the same prison cell.

The cave prison cells were numbered from one to six from the outside to the inside.

A total of six small groups of people walked out of the cell doors one after another, looking left and right and keeping a wary eye on the others.

In this regard alone, Chen Gou and the Wildfire Team had a bit of an advantage.

After all, they only needed to face the people in Cell Five, who were the nearest to them, and didn't have to worry about any enemies in front of them or behind them.

The human heart could not withstand such a test. Everyone's conscience was rapidly crumbling.

"Time's up. You guys may begin." Violent Bear's voice was suddenly heard.

The prison remained silent, as if they were all sitting on the fence.

As each second passed, the atmosphere in the cave became a little graver.

"I don't want to kill anyone, but I don't want to die either…"

The leader of Cell One, which was the outermost cell, had a pained expression on his face, as though he couldn't force himself to do it. However, he suddenly became hostile and bellowed, "There is only one way to remain alive—Kill!"

Then, he rushed madly toward the prisoners of Cell Two.

Halfway through, his body quickly absorbed dirt from the ground to cover the surface of his skin. In the blink of an eye, his body expanded and he became a giant covered in thick mud and stone armor.

The expressions of the people in Cell Two instantly changed. None of them had any magical weapons. If they faced such a heavily-armored human bulldozer… it would be simply a disaster!

No matter how tough it was, the team of Cell Two had to welcome this battle.

At the same time, the people in Cell Three stormed toward Cell Four.

Naturally, they could choose to sandwich the people of Cell Two, but they might very likely end up being sandwiched by Cell Four instead.

Therefore, the safest choice was to fight against Cell Four.

Cell Five had the same thought, so Chen Gou and the Wildfire Team were involved as well.

There were six people in Cell Five, including the huntress who had snarled at Violent Bear earlier.

However, she seemed to have not figured this out yet. She looked very hesitant as she stood way in the back.

"What a good sign!" Chen Gou was elated.

If the other side actually had noob teammates, his team would have the advantage of numbers!

As he was thinking about it, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

Although the Wildfire Team had the courage and awareness to fight, their strength was limited!

Originally, they hadn't been at the right level to be able to enter the misty area to hunt and had only dared to take a gamble under Chen Gou's leadership.

The other people present, however, were all old hunters who had prepared to enter the misty area right from the start.

Although their levels were temporarily suppressed below Level 10, their combat experience and techniques were still present.

Just a moment ago, the Wildfire Team's Aman, who had been in the front row, had been momentarily frightened and had taken a small step back due to the impact of the killing intent that the other five had gathered from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

The other party had made use of this step and knocked him over with a Berserk Charging Skill!

The difference between a real-life fight and a game fight was that everyone only lived once, so it was more of a test of mentality, experience, and on-the-spot reaction.

Similarly, the formation was extremely important!

This fight had only just started, and the chain reaction caused by the front row's human shield, which was experiencing a problem, was absolutely catastrophic.

The weak teammates in the back were directly exposed to the opponent's attack!

If they immediately aimed at two to three people, one-sided pressure would ensue.

This was clearly the other party's battle plan, but they probably hadn't expected it to go this smoothly either.

Chen Gou could see the cruel, evil grins on the other party's faces.

The situation had become extremely critical. Once the Wildfire Team was finished, he would not be able to defeat them with just his fists.
