After stepping firmly on the ground, Jiang Chen's speed surged, and he quickly shook off that group of ferocious giant snakes.
When he stopped, he indeed discovered traces of a path cleared by human hands.
Needless to say, this must be the trail left by Zhao Youyue's group.
At this moment, the sky was already approaching evening. Jiang Chen followed the footprints forward and arrived at an area between mountains.
Here, the trees suddenly became much sparser, and Jiang Chen finally spotted Zhao Youyue and her group.
This was a continuous stretch of mountainous terrain. To continue forward, one had to cross over the mountains.
On the mountainside ahead, faint firelight could be seen coming from a cave, with several human figures at the cave entrance.
Jiang Chen glanced back at the forest behind him and decided it would be better to spend the night in the mountains ahead.
The mountaintop seemed like a good choice.
Without hesitation, Jiang Chen lifted his foot and headed up the mountain.
"Who's there!" A cold shout rang out.
Jiang Chen ignored these people and slowly continued up the mountain.
"Lao Ying, go check it out."
A figure sped from the cave entrance and blocked Jiang Chen's path.
"Haha, so it's that six-year-old brat. I never thought he'd actually make it here." The youth in front of Jiang Chen laughed loudly. He was the soul master with the flying martial soul.
"Really or fake?"
"Wait for me, I want to see too."
"Big bro, it's nothing. You keep enjoying yourself, hehe..."
Before long, four more people appeared in front of Jiang Chen. Apart from Zhao Youyue and Lin Feng, all five members of this team were now standing before him.
"Kid, tell us, how did you get here?" one of the youths asked with interest.
Jiang Chen ignored them and tried to walk past, but he was blocked again.
"If you don't speak, you're not getting through."
"Big bro is inside eating meat. We might not even get soup. Why not have some fun with this kid?"
"Good idea. A bit of fun isn't bad. Look how tender and fair-skinned this kid is."
As he spoke, the person reached out to pinch Jiang Chen's face.
Courting death!
A flash of ferocity passed through Jiang Chen's eyes. He had already been holding back a stomach full of anger after being ambushed during the day, and now these people were provoking him again. The rage in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
His black nails quietly lengthened, two sharp fangs popped out, and with a flash of his body, Jiang Chen passed by the group.
"Damn, something bit me."
"Me too, ugh..."
"Ugh... ugh..."
All five had their skin scratched by Jiang Chen's nails. The potent toxin was injected, destroying their bodies at an astonishing speed.
Black qi slowly crawled across their faces. They collapsed to the ground, convulsing nonstop, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Jiang Chen.
At this point, how could they not understand how terrifying this child was?
"Spa... spare..." One of them barely raised a hand, hoping Jiang Chen would show mercy.
Jiang Chen stood there with an indifferent expression, watching as the five gradually lost their life force under the intense torment of the toxin.
This was his first time killing, yet Jiang Chen found that he felt almost no fear. Instead, his heart was filled with a kind of detachment.
What he had injected was only a lethal toxin. It would only cause their deaths and would not turn them into zombies.
"Ah!" A panicked scream came from the nearby cave. Jiang Chen recognized it as Zhao Youyue's voice.
He thought to himself, once Zhao Youyue and Lin Feng discovered these five dead, they would surely recognize him as the killer in the future.
In for a penny, in for a pound. Jiang Chen headed toward the cave.
The cave entrance had only faint firelight. As he went deeper, the interior gradually grew brighter.
The moment Jiang Chen entered the main part of the cave, he froze. He had actually walked in on someone else's "good time."
Not far ahead, Zhao Youyue lay limp on the ground, her clothes completely removed. Lin Feng's sturdy body was pressing toward her.
There were also traces of fighting in the cave, showing that the two had battled here earlier.
From the situation, it was clear that Zhao Youyue had lost, and she was now under the effect of some kind of poison, unable to resist.
Jiang Chen felt a bit speechless. In the Douluo Continent, soul masters often developed early due to their martial souls. It was common for people to marry at thirteen or fourteen, but he hadn't expected that Lin Feng, at only eleven years old, already had such interests.
The sudden appearance of Jiang Chen startled both of them. A trace of joy flashed across Zhao Youyue's face, but it quickly turned to disappointment.
"Kid, who let you in?" Lin Feng's face surged with anger.
"Lao Ying, Huo Lang, get in here!"
But no matter how he shouted, there was no response from outside.
"No need to shout. They're already dead," Jiang Chen said mockingly.
Lin Feng's expression darkened. He already believed it was eight or nine parts.
"Who killed them?" He stared coldly at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didn't waste words. He directly released his martial soul. A purple soul ring lit up, and his entire body was covered in ferocious armor.
The pitch-black armor concealed even his face. Sharp black spikes protruded from certain parts of the armor.
"How is this possible?" Lin Feng and Zhao Youyue both cried out in shock at the same time.
Lin Feng couldn't help but retreat several steps. Zhao Youyue's weak face was filled with undisguisable astonishment.
"During the day, you directly told me to scram. How about it? Surprised?" Jiang Chen advanced step by step.
Lin Feng hurriedly released his martial soul. Two yellow soul rings appeared. He didn't even have time to put on clothes, his gaze fixed intently on Jiang Chen.
His martial soul was the Shadow Leopard. After possession, his body was covered in leopard patterns, his hands turned into claws, and dagger-like nails shot out. His body grew taller and more slender and powerful.
"You killed them?" At this moment, monstrous waves surged in Lin Feng's heart. His five subordinates, one at level 19, one at 18, and three at 16, had died silently at Jiang Chen's hands.
The terror of this child was self-evident.
"I admit my attitude toward you during the day was bad. I'm sorry." Lin Feng's attitude suddenly made a 180-degree turn as he directly apologized to Jiang Chen.
"I can give her to..." He stopped halfway through his sentence, awkwardly realizing that Jiang Chen was only six years old.
"Fight. Your only outcome is death!" Jiang Chen stared coldly at Lin Feng.
His anger had been provoked. Right now, he just wanted to find someone to smash and vent fiercely.
The smile on Lin Feng's face instantly froze and slowly disappeared. He said no more words. His first soul ring suddenly lit up, and his entire body shot toward Jiang Chen like an illusion.
His first skill was an acceleration ability. Already excelling in speed, with this skill's boost, his speed became even more astonishing. He dared say that among the trainees in this concentration camp, no one's speed could surpass his.
In an instant, he created several afterimages around Jiang Chen. A cold voice rang out: "You underestimated me too much. The price of arrogance is your life!"
Bang!
A figure flew out and slammed heavily into the cave wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "wah."
Jiang Chen withdrew his fist, slowly walked up to Lin Feng, and looked down mockingly. "The speed you were so proud of is utterly vulnerable in front of me!"
"Roar!" Lin Feng sprang up. His second soul ring lit up, and his dagger-like claws shone with dazzling light as he slashed toward Jiang Chen.
The intense light forced even Zhao Youyue in the corner to close her eyes, but the shock in her heart could not be calmed.
He really was just a six-year-old child?
