Calamity Messenger-Chapter 77 - 61: Camp Tremors (Part 3)

This time, it took a little longer; it took a full quarter of an hour before they heard the battle inside calm down. They thought that this time they should finally be able to rest, but before long, they heard the eighth wave of the demon tide descending.

"Two Fourth-Turn Demon Fiends..." Jie Zilong appeared worried. "This is almost as difficult as the entrance to the Fourth-Turn Secret Realm..."

"Their scores are growing quickly, too." Qunyu Book glanced at the leaderboard. "After this wave, Jiang Shi’s score will break 9000. Two Fourth-Turn Demon Fiends can’t stop them."

Whether the two Fourth-Turn Demon Fiends could stop those inside was unknown, but it had a significant impact on the camp. The idle people had already retreated more than a hundred meters from the entrance, and even the messengers felt anxious. The pressure of one Fourth-Turn Demon Fiend could make an ordinary person’s legs tremble. The combined pressure of two might cause those weaker in spirit to lose control and collapse.

When the eighth wave ended, Zhou Ye and the others exchanged glances and found everyone covered in a thin layer of sweat. They looked at Jie Zilong and Shang Yue with genuine respect and said, "Congratulations! Your two families truly have an outstanding generation this time!"

Even they were terrified on the outside, but inside the Mansu Forest Land, facing the two Fourth-Turn Demon Fiends, were Shang Xinlei and Jie Yuan Shao. Regardless of their strength, their mindset was undoubtedly extraordinary. Perhaps ordinary people believe talent is most important, but to great families, the ability to face danger without being overwhelmed by fear is the foundation of a strong individual. After all, talent can be cultivated and even acquired directly, but a poor mindset cannot be nurtured.

Jie Zilong couldn’t help but smile and said, "Yuanshao might surpass me soon."

"The eighth level is already this difficult," Qunyu Book sighed. "I wonder how many levels the Mansu Forest Land has."

"It’s said there are ninety-nine levels."

"Ninety-nine?" Everyone was stunned. Zhou Ye shook his head in disbelief and laughed, "Only legendary immortals might be able to get that far, right?"

"I wonder how far they can go... it’s starting again?" Qunyu Book listened intently, "One, two... the ninth level actually has as many as four Foundation Establishment Demon Fiends!"

"Even if they can hold on, this is probably their limit." Chen Linchuan tapped the tea table lightly, "Shang Yue, have you made up your mind yet?"

The pale young man coughed, seemingly unaware that everyone was waiting for his response. He leisurely savored his Biluo Bud tea and said slowly, "Before I see Xinlei, I won’t make a hasty decision."

Chen Linchuan’s eyes flickered, and Zhou Ye continued brewing tea. Under the earth-shaking pressure of the four Foundation Establishment Demon Fiends, his hands couldn’t stop trembling, causing the stream of tea to waver.

At some point, Lu Wangji was already standing outside waiting. Everyone looked at the entrance of Mansu Forest Land, awaiting the end of the desperate battle inside.

Two quarters of an hour later, the sounds of battle slowly subsided. Jie Zilong slowly exhaled as he stood up, followed closely by the others. Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Qunyu Book looked at the empty entrance, his expression gradually turning into disbelief: "No way..."

Jie Zilong’s lips quivered as he stared intently at the entrance. Shang Yue coughed three times and sighed lightly.

Time seemed to pass slowly, as if everyone could hear their own heartbeat counting; but it also passed quickly, as if only a moment had gone by before the tenth wave of the demon tide descended.

This time, even the Third-Turn Messengers dared not linger at the entrance. The grass by the entrance was flattened by the fierce wind, and the sky turned dark, as if a great disaster loomed.

"Fourth-Turn Demon King!"

Zhou Ye, guarding his beloved teapot, spoke with a mixture of fear and excitement, "Even a Fourth-Turn Messenger cannot face the Foundation Establishment Demon King alone!"

"And besides the Fourth-Turn Demon King, there are three Foundation Establishment Demon Fiends as well." Qunyu Book actually laughed, "This might be the closest I’ll ever get to a Fourth-Turn Demon King in my lifetime."

If earlier they all harbored ill intentions, then now... they still had their own agendas, but their hearts couldn’t help but be curious.

It wasn’t about profit, envy, or victory.

They simply wanted to see how far these four young people could go.
