"ROAR!!!"
Scar Dog snarled fiercely, his expression twisted with rage.
The next moment—
The massive heavy truck beneath them suddenly felt lighter, as if sprouting wings. It glided through the air for a short distance before plunging straight into the colossal sky pit ahead.
At the same time, they realized the sky pit's diameter was so vast it defied visual measurement.
Within this colossal abyss, countless insect race players swarmed like tadpoles in a teeming pond.
Not just on the ground—
The air above the sky pit was equally congested with insect race players, their numbers impossible to estimate. From the cockpit, all they could see was a nauseating mass of insect race players, leaving not even a sliver of space between them.
The heavy truck beneath them continued to plow through the insect race players, sending them flying as it plummeted downward.
They couldn't even begin to fathom the depth of this sky pit.
Visibility was less than a meter.
The entire area within their sight was swarming with insect race players, like locusts.
"Map manifestation!"
A flicker of panic crossed Li Hao's face as he forced down his fear and roared.
Instantly—
A 3D map composed of white light lines materialized in the air.
Scar Dog wasted no time.
He crushed the energy block in his hand.
Boom!
As the white mist dissipated, a phantom gate materialized before them.
"Move!"
Without hesitation, they dove through the phantom gate.
Their figures reappeared in a wilderness clearing a kilometer away.
Without pausing, they immediately activated another phantom gate.
Five energy blocks were consumed in rapid succession!
Five phantom gates materialized in the night.
In less than three seconds, Scar Dog and Li Hao had escaped the giant pit and arrived at their agreed-upon rendezvous point.
There, standing before the phantom gate, was Brother Jiang.
As soon as Scar Dog and his companion successfully emerged from the illusory gate, Chen Jiang wasted no time. With a swift kick, he shoved them away from the portal.
He then thrust the detonator he had been holding into the illusory gate.
The arm holding the detonator pierced through five illusory gates, reaching the heavy truck deep within the giant pit.
"Goodbye," Chen Jiang murmured with a faint smile.
He pressed the detonator, quickly withdrawing his arm.
The illusory gate vanished almost simultaneously as his arm retracted.
A split second later—
Chen Jiang and the others felt a slight tremor beneath their feet, like the first sign of an earthquake.
Then—
BOOM!!!
A deafening explosion erupted in their ears!
A blinding pillar of fire erupted five kilometers away!
The night sky was instantly transformed into day by the intense light!
Thick black smoke billowed into the sky.
Suddenly, the colossal flames seemed to ignite the smoke itself. The towering plume exploded outward, transforming into a mesmerizing spectacle of fire-tinged clouds that stretched across the horizon.
Even from five kilometers away, they could clearly feel the ground trembling beneath their feet.
"It's... beautiful," Scar Dog murmured, his gaze fixed on the hundred-meter-high inferno. Instinctively, he pulled out his camera, framed the breathtaking scene in the viewfinder, and pressed the shutter.
But at that very moment—
A visible shockwave, moving at an impossible speed, swept toward them!
There was no time to react.
Boom!
The shockwave slammed into Chen Jiang and his companions, sending them flying back two meters.
Huff!
Scar Dog scrambled to his feet, disbelief etched across his face. "Five kilometers away? How can the shockwave still reach us?"
They were mostly unharmed, just stunned by the sheer force of it.
The sky now blazed as bright as day.
The night lacked any of its usual darkness, resembling a young boy eager to show the world that the allure of fireworks could be appreciated in quiet contemplation.
Meanwhile—
Chen Jiang's kill count was skyrocketing at an astonishing rate!
On the race kill rankings, Chen Jiang's rapidly changing kill count was even creating afterimages!
Before the previous number could register, the next one would already flash onto the screen.
[Kill Count: 32,892.]
[Kill Count: 62,910.]
[Kill Count: 78,293.]
And there was no sign of slowing down; the numbers continued to climb relentlessly!
[Kill Count: 80,135.]
[Kill Count: 138,023.]
In just a matter of seconds, the kill count had already reached 210,000.
It continued to rise, though at a slightly slower pace, showing no signs of stopping.
Until—
the kill count finally settled at 270,000.
[Top Ranking: Human Race, Chen Jiang.]
[Kill Count: 273,739.]
[Second Ranking: Mechanical Race, Feng Jiutian.]
[Kill Count: 157,739.]
A crushing lead of nearly 120,000 kills!
The time was 11:12 AM.
Less than fifty minutes remained until the race kill rankings were finalized.
A mere ten minutes.
In that time, Chen Jiang, who had previously been utterly crushed, reversed the situation, overwhelming Feng Jiutian with nearly 100,000 more kills.
It was a number that inspired despair.
Especially with the countdown ticking down to under fifty minutes.
Scar Dog stared at the kill count, which was flickering so rapidly it seemed to be glitching. He swallowed hard and muttered, "The real-time updates on the race kill rankings are truly real-time. The numbers are jumping so fast they're practically bugging out."
When Chen Jiang's kill count surged to 270,000 in just one minute, every race player on the planet fell silent.
One minute. 270,000 alien race kills.
To put it bluntly, even a nuclear strike couldn't slaughter pigs this quickly.
Was this still the Ten Thousand Races Arena? Why not just call it the Chen Jiang Slaughterhouse?
A global speaker slowly echoed in the ears of all race players.
[Global Speaker!]
[Human Player Chen Jiang: "Keep shouting."]
Immediately afterward, a series of global speakers blared across the world.
[Human Player Chen Jiang: "Keep shouting."]
[Human Player Chen Jiang: "Think you're the only one with a global speaker, huh?"]
[Human Player Chen Jiang: "Giving up already?"]
[Human Player Chen Jiang: "Come on, let's talk about what makes the human race special. Speaker spam time! Whoever stops first is a loser."]
[Human Player Chen Jiang: "Where'd you go? All talk and no action? You were shouting all day, now you're silent?"]
[Human Player Chen Jiang: "Tsk, what a waste of space."]
["Tsk."]
Seeing Feng Jiutian's lack of response after so long, Chen Jiang shook his head in mock pity. "Too bad I can't see Feng Jiutian's face right now. That would be hilarious."
The insect race players in this sky pit were far more numerous than he'd imagined.
But just then...
Another global announcement echoed across the world.
[Global Announcement!]
[Congratulations, Player Chen Jiang!]
