Wang Sheng Tang Gu Ye

Chapter 57 Weeping and the Unforeseen Changes Beneath the Smoke

The terrifying monster, five meters tall, had grown another two meters after its berserk rampage, in addition to the heavy black armor covering its body.

Just standing on the ground, these ten fearsome monsters exuded an oppressive aura that felt insurmountable!

And now, these ten terrifying monsters simultaneously raised their heads, their dark eye sockets fixated on Chen Luo, who sat high upon the Mage Hand.

This human, facing the pressure of our full power, showed no sign of faltering?

He was merely watching us unleash our skills, not even attempting to stop us?

That look? Was he watching a show?!!

"Roar!!!!" Rage surged!

Simultaneously, the frenzied effects of Bloodlust Berserk took full hold, reason vanishing from them!

They would now use the most brutal means to torture and kill this arrogant fellow!!

But in the next moment, from the center of the wolf encirclement, a crisp sound echoed:

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

On the massive Mage Hand, surrounded by the wolves, Chen Luo was actually clapping his hands gently, his eyes filled with admiration.

His golden pupils gazed at the black-armored wolves, which shone with a peculiar luster under the firelight, his eyes full of appreciation:

"Not bad! Much cooler than before! If you weren't opponents, I’d really want one as a mount!"

But the berserk wolves paid no heed to Chen Luo's words. Their minds were filled only with the thought of destroying Chen Luo.

Until their objective was achieved, or their blood completely burned out, they would not regain their sanity!

Boom!!!

Heavy wolf paws stomped fiercely onto the ground, the solid concrete cracking into a large pit under the wolves' strength.

The colossal Night Wolves leaped into the air, opening their mouths and swiping their claws towards Chen Luo!!

They didn't even need to hit! Even a mere collision! Chen Luo would surely die!!!

In his golden pupils, the arcane patterns suddenly flashed, and the monsters' terrifying speed slowed down in Chen Luo's eyes.

He stopped his clapping hand and sighed helplessly:

"Beasts..."

Boom!!!!

A violent collision resounded across the arena. The movements of the ten colossal beasts kicked up immense dust, and under the radiance of the suspended fireballs, the scene was completely obscured by the dust!

Chen Luo's figure was swallowed by the monsters!!!

Everyone in the safe zone watched this scene, stunned into silence.

The next moment, a figure with twin ponytails rushed out from the crowd, her small fists striking the thick blue barrier.

"Chen Luo! Chen Luo!! You mustn't be hurt!!!"

Her excited cries made the girl's clear voice crackle, but no matter how excited the girl was, her meager strength could not budge the barrier in the slightest!

The crowd behind her was jolted awake by Hu Tao's actions. They looked at the dust rising into the sky, their minds replaying the scene of Chen Luo being engulfed by the monsters.

"How? How is that possible?!! How could Boss lose?!"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!!! Boss!!!"

"Wuwu! Boss!! My Boss!!!"

An indescribable sadness surged in everyone's hearts. Chen Luo, who had always protected them, was dead?

He had created so many miracles, he had led them to survive until now, he had promised them!

Their bodies moved faster than their thoughts. One by one, whether warriors, priests, or survivors of other professions, they began to surge towards the gate.

They wanted to shatter this barrier and reach their Boss!

At the forefront of the crowd, only a white-haired older sister remained composed. She looked at the agitated crowd around her, at everyone's uncontrolled emotions, and frowned, speaking loudly:

"Quiet down, everyone!! Idiots! Boss is still alive!!"

"Look at this magical barrier!! Look at the fireballs suspended in the sky!! If Boss were dead, who could precisely control these things?!"

The anxious crowd gradually calmed down upon hearing Su Xiao's voice.

Su Xiao then pushed through the crowd, walked to the agitated Hu Tao, and took her tender little hand.

Seeing the blood marks on Hu Tao's hand from her excessive force, Su Xiao's frown deepened.

Hu Tao looked up, tears welling in her eyes, and sobbed, "Su, Sister Su Xiao, Chen Luo isn't dead, right!"

Looking at the faintly trembling girl, Su Xiao sighed and patted Hu Tao's little head:

"You silly child. Besides being a bit stronger, a bit more handsome, and a bit more responsible, what else is good about him."

"Don't worry, have a little more faith in him, our Boss is very strong."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Hu Tao's face finally showed a relieved smile, but seeing her face, a mixture of crying and smiling, made Su Xiao's heart ache.

She turned to the other still-nervous priests and said, "Please heal this silly girl quickly."

Watching Hu Tao's hand quietly recover under the healing white light, Su Xiao turned her gaze to the dust outside the barrier and shouted:

"Chen Luo!! Stop playing around!!!"

The rising dust had yet to dissipate...

But Su Xiao's voice had already reached him.

Whoosh!!!

A colossal, indigo hand suddenly emerged from the dust. As the giant palm swung, it completely blew away the rising dust.

Beneath the dust, massive indigo hands easily grasped the black-armored wolves!

The terrifying monsters, over ten meters long and seven meters high after their berserk transformation, were completely unable to break free from the giant palms.

The colossal indigo hands, as if forged from solid metal, pulsed with faint blue magical light as intricate arcane patterns moved within them.

The wolves, unwilling to be restrained, struggled and bit fiercely, their terrifying strength surging with boiling blood-colored steam!

But the colossal Mage Hands, seemingly cast from blue-gold, did not waver in the slightest, and these massive palms were continuously tightening!

Under the pressure of the Mage Hands, the black armor on the wolves' bodies began to manifest dark, night-like power to resist.

But this dark power, capable of withstanding all damage, was visibly weakening!
