In the end, all the roasted liver was eaten up.
Compared to starving, the taste was actually not that bad.
“Two people in a group to keep watch. If there is any movement, wake the others up immediately.
“Fu Zhe and Qi Yi will be on the first shift. Han Ying and I will be on the second shift. Chen Feng and Duan Lang will be in the last shift.”
Wang Chen began to arrange for the night watchers.
Fu Zhe and Qi Yi were the weakest, so they were in charge of the first shift.
The middle shift was the most tiring, so he and Han Ying, who were the strongest, took the shift.
After the arrangements were made, Wang Chen and the others found a place to rest.
Qi Yi and Fu Zhe stared at the nearby movements.
A few kilometers away, the group of Descenders also discovered the traces left behind by Wang Chen and the others.
One of the Descenders examined the corpse of the mutated beast on the ground and said in a deep voice, “A Level 20 Three-tailed Fox was killed in one strike. The attacker wasn’t weak.”
The red-haired Swayne revealed a sinister smile and said, “Very good. Only the strong are interesting. These weaklings who directly surrender are not worth our attention at all!”
He looked at the middle-aged man hiding behind the group with disdain.
Shi Tang, who was carrying a large amount of supplies on his back, flashed a fawning smile.
Within the attack range of the Demonic Tree, he was unlucky enough to encounter this group of Descenders and became a captive.
There were a few others as unlucky as him.
Hearing that the person in front might be Wang Chen, Shi Tang hesitated for a moment and said, “Sir Swayne, 1 know Wang Chen. Perhaps I can help you lower their guard.”
“Lower their guard? What, do you think I’m no match for him?” Swayne’s face revealed an unhappy expression as he glared fiercely at Shi Tang.
Shi Tang was shocked and quickly explained, “Of course, 1 didn’t mean that. However, wouldn’t it be better if they could minimize their losses?”
Looking at his fearful expression, Swayne smiled and said mockingly, “Haha, these Blue Star people are really timid. I don’t know why they were chosen as Descenders.”
“That’s right. In our Katja, such people don’t deserve to live.”
The rest of the Descenders also laughed.
The Descenders came from worlds different from the Blue Star.
Shi Tang’s face flushed red.
He originally wanted to sell a good deal to gain the favor of these people, but he did not expect these arrogant fellows to be so ungrateful and cause him to fall into such a predicament.
At this moment, Swayne changed the topic and said with a smile, “But this is not bad. I’ll leave this matter to you! As long as you perform well enough, I can consider letting you become one of us after the matter is settled.”
Hearing this, Shi Tang’s face lit up. “Don’t worry, sir. Leave it to me.”
“Rollo, Reif, stay behind and watch over these guys,” Swayne ordered in a deep voice.
Wang Chen and the others did not have any experience in surviving in the jungle. The traces they left behind were extremely obvious.
Thus, not long after, this group of Descenders from Katja found the place where Wang Chen and the others were staying.
Swayne looked at the flames in the ruins and whispered to Shi Tang beside him, “Blue Star, go and trick them to come out. Don’t play any games.”
When Shi Tang saw this, he immediately moved forward.
In the ruins, Qi Yi, who was on night duty, immediately saw Shi Tang’s figure.
“Wake them up!” he said to Fu Zhe beside him and began to accumulate his magic power, preparing to fight.
Wang Chen and the others quickly woke up. They quietly went to the entrance and looked outside.
“Shi Tang?”
Wang Chen was slightly stunned. He recognized the person under the moonlight.
At this moment, Shi Tang also realized that Wang Chen and the others had already discovered him.
He stopped and shouted, “Brother Wang Chen, I’m Shi Tang. I was alone and wanted to come over to find shelter. Don’t do anything rash!”
“There’s something wrong with this fellow,” Qi Yi whispered.
“What’s wrong?” Duan Lang was stunned and asked doubtfully.
“We didn’t even show our faces, so how did he know we were here?” Wang Chen sneered. “He doesn’t have any scouting skills.”
When the others heard this, they immediately realized that something was wrong.
“Then, what should we do? Why don’t 1 go over and kill him?” Chen Feng was eager to try. He was an Assassin and had a Stealth skill. He was confident that he could sneak over.
“No need.” Wang Chen shook his head.
He stood up and walked out of the ruins. He shouted in a deep voice, “Shi Tang, are you really alone?”
Seeing Wang Chen walk out, Shi Tang heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
“Just me,” he said with a smile. “I had a few companions, but they were killed by mutated beasts. I ran fast enough to escape. What about the others? Are they with you?”
“How did you know it was me inside?” Wang Chen suddenly asked.
Shi Tang’s expression instantly changed, knowing that he had let the cat out of the bag!
Just as he was about to explain, an orange fireball flew out and landed on his body.
Boom!
The flames exploded.
Shi Tang did not even have the chance to scream before he was directly blasted into a charred corpse.
Wang Chen’s expression was cold. He had given Shi Tang a chance, but this guy did not grasp it.
No matter why Shi Tang lied to them, it was all because he harbored ill intentions. Since that was the case, then he couldn’t blame him for striking first.
Lying led to death!
Wang Chen’s sudden action also gave the Descenders of Katja a fright.
One of the Descenders who was holding a bow lost his balance and immediately shot the arrow out, nailing it to Wang Chen’s feet.
“As expected, there are more people out there!”
Wang Chen’s heart sank.
“Throne Angel’s Defense!”
With a thought, he summoned the angel. The pale flames instantly lit up the surroundings.
“Stick close to the ground!” Wang Chen growled and gave the order to the Throne Angel.
The wheels of the angel rolled forward like a flaming chariot.
As for Wang Chen, he moved quickly and used the protection of the Throne Angel to move forward.
Seeing this, Swayne knew that his chance to sneak an attack had failed.
“Brothers, catch him! Kill!” he shouted, raising his heavy ox horn battle axe and giving the order in a deep voice.
“Katja!”
“Katja!”
The Descenders of Katja roared and rushed out of the forest in an attempt to stop the angel.
However, in the face of a Level 50 Throne Angel, their attacks were somewhat powerless.
Boom!
The angel was unstoppable.
The three Descenders from Katja who were at the front were crushed into meat pies and died instantly.
“Damn it, how can a newbie be so powerful?”
Behind him, Swayne was shocked.
According to the past situation, the strongest among the rookies would, at most, have the same combat strength as the ordinary ones among them.
However, Wang Chen’s summoned creature had actually killed three of his subordinates.
“What are you daydreaming about?”
A cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
The sound of a blade cutting through the air was heard, and an ominous feeling rose in Swayne’s heart.
He subconsciously raised the bull-horned battle axe in his hand to block above his head.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the heavy pitch-black machete slashed at the axe handle.
A terrifying force overcame him, and the bones in Swayne’s arms instantly shattered. His knees went soft, and his knees smashed into the ground with a crack, sending him kneeling on the ground..
