Chapter 464: Chapter 484: The Hunter in the Darkness _1

You?

With your slap, my head might fly off!

Han Xuemei didn’t dare to let Lin Chen do it, so she gritted her teeth and applied more force to her hand.

This time, Han Xuemei truly exerted her strength, causing her face to swell rapidly and blood to overflow from her mouth.

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

...

After several slaps, Han Xuemei looked incredibly miserable with her disheveled white hair and splattered blood, creating a horrifying scene.

Lin Chen just watched coldly.

As Lin Chen didn’t speak, Han Xuemei didn’t dare to stop. Just when her mind was about to collapse, she finally heard Lin Chen’s voice.

"Enough!"

Han Xuemei’s spirit was lifted, and she raised her head, looking at Lin Chen with hopeful eyes.

Lin Chen’s gaze swept over Han Xuehai and the others, who all lowered their eyes in shame and terror, not daring to look Lin Chen in the eye.

Lin Chen walked to the center of the room, picked up his backpack, and said indifferently: "I’m giving you the medicinal materials, and I’ll spare your lives for the sake of Elder Han. It’s best if I don’t see you again."

Although Lin Chen had saved Han Xue Cheng’s life before, and Han Xue Cheng had returned the favor, Lin Chen did not owe him anything. But after all, it was Han Xue Cheng who, despite his family’s pressure, recommended Lin Chen to join. If Lin Chen were to kill all the members of the Han Family, even if he was not in the wrong, it would still be somewhat awkward.

There was no distinction between day and night in the Underground City. As Lin Chen walked down the street for several hundred meters, he didn’t find anything. At a crossroad, he stopped to determine his next direction.

After spending so much time in the city and encountering so many teams, Lin Chen had only come across a team from the Baling Sect, which showed that the city’s range was not small.

"Ah!"

A sudden, sharp scream pierced the night and echoed from afar.

Lin Chen abruptly leapt onto the roof of a building beside the street and looked into the distance. About two kilometers away, there was a faint lamplight flickering.

"Help... Ah!"

The heartbreaking screams continued, and it seemed that the screams were not just coming from one person.

Without hesitation, Lin Chen rushed down the road, sprinting towards the source of the screams.

When Lin Chen had covered more than half of the distance, the heartbreaking screams abruptly stopped.

It seemed too late.

Lin Chen wasn’t going to save anyone; he was going to watch the commotion and take the opportunity to loot if possible.

Where there was fighting, there must be conflicts of interest. In other words, if there were battles, the goal of the battles must be to compete for valuable items; otherwise, who would start killing for no reason?

There was still light up ahead, which was strikingly eye-catching in the darkness.

Lin Chen slowed down and carefully approached the place. As he turned around the corner, he quietly peered at the illuminated area not far away.

With just one glance, Lin Chen’s pupils contracted, and fear appeared on his face.

Blood!

Blood everywhere!

Several powerful flashlights scattered on the ground, with their beams revealing blood all around them. The source of the blood was the several corpses that had been reduced to blood-soaked white bones.

Lin Chen counted them, and his heart sank.

Five!

This was the number of a sect’s small team!

In a short time, something had attacked this sect’s small team, killing them all and devouring their flesh and blood in a short amount of time.

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on scattered backpacks on the ground. There were obviously things inside some of the bags, but they were left untouched.

Lin Chen’s gaze turned serious, realizing that the attacker of this small team was not another sect team, otherwise, these backpacks would not have been left behind.

There was a high probability that the attacker was not human.

There were unknown hunters lurking in the darkness of the Underground City, hunting down the intruders like himself.

The attack had just happened a short time ago, and he wondered if the attacker was still lurking in the shadows, silently staring at him and waiting for a chance to strike and kill him?

The feeling of being watched emerged again, even stronger this time, as if he was in the middle of a crowded square and suddenly, everyone turned their heads and stared at him fiercely.

Lin Chen’s hair on the back of his neck stood up. He shone his flashlight in front of him and leaped into the courtyard, rushing into the room inside.

Lin Chen took the oil lamp in the room, rushed to the woodshed with it, and smashed the lamp onto the firewood pile, igniting it.

The flames rose instantly as Lin Chen grabbed a bundle of burning straw and lit everything flammable in the room.

Everything was dry and caught fire quickly. Soon, the flames swept through the entire interior of the house and spread to the roof.

The whole house was now on fire.

"Boom!"

Lin Chen suddenly broke through the wall from a corner of the room and rushed out.

As Lin Chen landed, his eyes gazed around, and his body suddenly stiffened.

Several monstrous bat-like creatures perched on the ground and rooftops in the distance, layer upon layer, densely packed. Each pair of eyes filled with the breath of death stared intensely at Lin Chen...
