Chapter 470: Chapter 490: How... Is This Possible? _1

Lin Chen hid in the shadows, watching the people fighting and feeling secretly astonished.

The temptation of the Dongtian Gate Attraction was just too great for cultivators in this world!

Even if they knew it was just a ticket to enter the cave world and didn’t guarantee longevity or cultivation techniques, they still couldn’t suppress their fervor, involuntarily joining the fray.

What if?

Lin Chen thought of his own Heaven Opening Jade, which was once contested by the five sects. In the end, his father snatched the jade, and the five sects went mad hunting and killing, but the intensity was far less than it was now.

Some were injured, some fell, and some were bloodthirsty...

The jade pendant was like a vicious curse. Whoever it fell into the hands of would be the first to be attacked madly by the people around them, either dying or being seriously injured.

After four or five people fell in a row, the crowd began to team up to fight.

Everyone realized that no matter how powerful they were individually, it was practically impossible for them to snatch the jade pendant and fight their way out among so many people.

To seize the jade pendant, they would have to defeat the majority of people.

As Lin Chen watched with great interest, he suddenly felt a change and looked up, his face turning pale.

Ghost-faced Bats!

It’s over!

These ghost-faced bats silently surrounded the area without attacking, just like hunting.

Since he couldn’t run anyway, Lin Chen found a blue brick house, crawled into the room inside, blocked the door with a heavy solid wood wardrobe, and then removed a square brick to observe the outside.

"What is that!"

"Oh, my God!"

"Stop fighting, look up, look at the sky!"

The fighting people didn’t notice, but those who were injured and lying on the ground were looking up at the sky, the first to notice the strange surroundings.

At the same time, the ghost-faced bats in the sky began their attack.

"Ah!"

"What the hell is that!"

"Get inside! Get in the house quickly!"

Some screamed, some fought back, and some reacted quickly, shouting loudly. For a moment, everyone who could still move, regardless of the consequences, directly rushed into the nearby houses, breaking through the walls and continuing to run inside, seeking a sealed space to hide.

The injured, slow-moving, and unresponsive adventurers were instantly enveloped by the ghost-faced bats.

The screams stopped abruptly.

Within a few dozen seconds, all the adventurers who hadn’t escaped into the houses had turned into bloody skeletons.

The ghost-faced bats devoured all the flesh and blood they could eat and flew away, searching for their next target.

Lin Chen saw this scene through the gap and was horrified. These ghost-faced bats were so numerous and fearless, even a Great Grandmaster’s Gang Qi Body Protection couldn’t block their bites and claw attacks. It was terrifying.

The ground had returned to quiet, only littered with white bones, backpacks, and scattered flashlights. One of the flashlights illuminated a bloodstained jade pendant next to a skeleton.

Cangshan Cave Gate Attraction!

Lin Chen’s heart suddenly stirred, it seemed like a good opportunity now!

Lin Chen noticed that there were no ghost-faced bats around the house where he was hiding, meaning the mysterious deterrent effect bestowed by Liu Sansheng earlier was still in effect!

However, there were still quite a few survivors hiding in the surrounding houses, and he would be in big trouble if he was recognized when he went out.

Lin Chen glanced around the room and saw that it was a bedroom, full of clothes in the spacious, heavy wardrobe, and he immediately had an idea.

...

"Bang"

A piece of blue brick was knocked out, revealing Zhao Zongsheng’s face, with a bloody gash on it and muscles turned outward, looking quite terrifying.

Zhao Zongsheng’s eyes searched the open space. The earlier escape had been too chaotic, and he didn’t know who had taken the gate pendant.

The feeling of losing something and then losing it again angered Zhao Zongsheng to the point of madness.

He glanced outside and his eyes instantly filled with horror and lingering fear from his close brush with death.

If he had been just a little bit slower, he would have become one of the skeletons on the ground by now.

What on earth were these ghost things?

Zhao Zongsheng’s gaze swept across the ground unintentionally, suddenly stopping at the jade pendant lying next to a skeleton, his eyes widening.

Gate pendant!

The jade pendant lay beside the white bones, its faint radiance shining under the flashlight.

It’s still there!

Zhao Zongsheng’s heart pounded, he wanted to rush out immediately and pick it up, but he didn’t dare.

The sky was filled with black, swarming monsters that circled above and squatted on the rooftops. Who knew how many thousands or tens of thousands there were? Whoever went out at this time would be doomed, wouldn’t they?

As Zhao Zongsheng hesitated, suddenly, footsteps echoed on the bluestone slab road in the distance.

A man wearing a green cloth robe and cloth shoes appeared at the end of the road. His head was wrapped in a black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes visible.

The dark, dense monsters rose and rushed toward the man.

Zhao Zongsheng’s heart skipped a beat, this man was done for.

The next second, Zhao Zongsheng’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

How...how is that possible?
