Chapter 2911 Town Infrastructure Construction in Full Swing 33
"Find cover! Quickly!"
Chu Ge, no longer bothering to argue with Huo Zhaoye, gave a stern order.
The other large teams in the vicinity also began to stir, searching for sturdy cover and preparing to deal with the impending beast tide.
Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, listened to the beast's roar, and looked up in the direction from which the sound came. He then gave a playful smile and took Huo Zhaoye's hand again.
Huo Zhaoye's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Jin Chen.
Do you trust me?
Huo Zhaoye was taken aback, not understanding what he meant. "What?"
To everyone's astonishment, Jin Chen did not retreat to find cover. Instead, she pulled Huo Zhaoye and advanced towards the direction from which the beast roars and chaotic sounds came.
"Don't worry, let's go."
The team members from Heping Town were stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances, and without any hesitation, gripped their weapons and followed.
Lu Jun also barely recovered from the blow he had just suffered. Seeing Yan Genggu's pale face, he gritted his teeth and followed closely behind.
Together with the Fire Base, the group of over twenty people from Peace Town actually went against the flow of scattered monsters and people fleeing in panic, heading towards the source of that chilling beast roar.
People from other bases, especially Chu Ge and others from the Five Elements Base, could hardly believe their eyes when they saw this scene.
"Are they crazy?!" exclaimed a member of the Five Elements Base.
"This is no way to court death!"
But looking at the backs of that small team, a sense of humiliation and resentment at being outdone arose in the hearts of these elites from the large base.
They're not even as brave as some small-town team I've never even heard of? Absolutely not.
"Follow them!" Chu Ge's expression shifted, and finally, he gritted his teeth and gave the order.
He wanted to see what this Peace Town was relying on, and... he couldn't just let Yan Genggu go in with those people!
Seeing this, the other teams from the major bases were also spurred on by their competitive spirit. Gritting their teeth, they also left their cover and followed at a distance.
The deeper you go, the more pronounced the effects of the beast's roar become.
Those with weaker willpower have already experienced tinnitus and dizziness, and blood has seeped from their ear canals.
Jin Chen walked in front of Huo Zhaoye, holding his hand. Huo Zhaoye gripped her hand tightly, entrusting her with all his trust.
Just when many people were about to give up and couldn't take it anymore, the road ahead suddenly opened up.
Countless strange crystals, large and small, crystal clear and colorful, grow from the ground, rock walls, and even collapsed metal structures, emitting a faint light and creating a bizarre and wonderful scene.
All the teams that followed stopped at the edge of the crystal area, not daring to take another step forward. They each took up advantageous positions and nervously looked towards the center.
Jin Chen also stopped. He released Huo Zhaoye's hand, turned around, and faced him.
Huo Zhaoye looked at him with a somewhat blank expression.
Jin Chen raised her hand, pinched Huo Zhaoye's earlobe, and planted a light kiss on it.
"Lord Huo, move forward."
Jin Chen gently pushed him away with the hand on his shoulder.
Huo Zhaoye stumbled forward as he was pushed, stepping into the area where the crystals were growing.
In an instant, all eyes were focused on Huo Zhaoye, staring at him in disbelief as if he were a madman.
Has he gone mad?! He actually walked towards that monster alone!
Jin Chen stood just a step behind him, quietly watching Huo Zhaoye's back, waiting for the glory that was about to descend upon Huo Zhaoye.
Huo Zhaoye's heart pounded, and his blood rushed to his head.
Jin Chen told him to move forward, so he did.
He steadied himself, firmly gripped the pistol in its holster with his right hand, and slowly continued forward.
Immediately afterwards, the earth shook violently.
The light and dust were stirred up, and a mountain-like black shadow slowly rose from the densest cluster of crystals in the center.
Like a tiger magnified countless times, it exudes absolute majesty, looking down upon ants.
Just by standing there, its menacing aura alone is enough to make one's legs go weak.
"It's over... He's dead..." someone murmured, their face deathly pale.
People at other bases shared the same idea.
Just looking at this monster makes one lose all will to fight it. Huo Zhaoye is so close to it, he's practically meat delivered right to his mouth.
Jin Chen raised an eyebrow and tilted her head.
The strange creature in everyone's eyes slowly lowered its head and looked at Huo Zhaoye, who appeared exceptionally small.
Amidst the horrified, pitying, or gloating gazes of everyone, it slowly raised its front paws, then lowered them, reaching into the most dazzling cluster of crystals beside it. After skillfully manipulating it a few times, it carefully pinched the crystal with its two claws and then slowly offered it to Huo Zhaoye.
The gestures even carried a hint of...respect.
Huo Zhaoye: "..."
Huo Zhaoye's Adam's apple bobbed as he turned around and glanced at Jin Chen behind him.
Jin Chen nodded to him.
Huo Zhaoye took a deep breath, forcing his violently beating heart to calm down, and slowly released his grip on the gun, holding the crystal in his hand.
"Roar!!!"
After the roar, the monster moved and took a few steps to the side, making way for a passage to the crystal area.
It lowered its head and looked at Huo Zhaoye again.
Everyone: "..."
What the hell is going on?!
Chu Ge of the Five Elements Base had a livid face as he stared intently at the crystal in Huo Zhaoye's hand.
The people in other bases weren't much better off; their worldviews were completely overturned.
In the almost suffocating silence, Jin Chen walked to Huo Zhaoye, who was still somewhat dazed, and said, "Go in."
Jin Chen gently patted his back and stepped onto the passage.
The team members from Heping Town seemed to wake from a dream, suppressing the overwhelming shock in their hearts, forcing themselves to remain calm, and quickly followed.
Lu Jun pinched his thigh hard, then pulled the still somewhat disoriented Yan Genggu along and followed.
The people at the Blazing Fire Base were so excited their faces turned red. They quickly jogged to catch up, feeling honored and even thinking that the former lord's death was truly worthwhile!
People from other bases watched with envy as this small, unknown team swaggered towards the core of the crystal zone!
Why!
Why should we let them in?!
Several teams immediately became eager to join in.
"Roar!!!"
The monster suddenly raised its head, swept its gaze over the restless ranks, and roared again.
The terrifying pressure swept over, sending a chill down the spines of those present.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
Only they are allowed in. Anyone who dares to follow will die.
The arrogant base team members, who had been so haughty just moments before, could only watch helplessly as a pack of hungry wolves watched a fat sheep walk into the safe zone, separated by a sturdy fence.
