65: A desperate comeback! A devastating blow from the Chinese girl group!

"Huff... huff..."

Her lungs felt as if they had been stuffed with handfuls of scorching gravel, and every breath carried the scent of blood.

Xia Xin stumbled as she fled along the edge of the Bone Forest.

She was rather unlucky; she had encountered enemies the moment she landed and had been chased the entire way!

Her office lady uniform skirt had long been shredded by thorns, and her pair of top-tier, head-turning long legs were covered in bruises and bloody scratches.

The black stockings, once full of allure, were now reduced to just a few threads, instead revealing a beauty born of destruction.

Click.

The high heel on her left foot finally met its glorious demise.

Xia Xin twisted her ankle and fell clumsily into a pile of bone fragments, her palms pierced and dripping with blood.

"Run? Why don't you keep running?"

A mocking voice, like a cat playing with a mouse, came from behind her.

Three men wearing tight tank tops, their muscles built up like pumped-up beef, surrounded her.

The leader, a man with a crew cut and a fleshy, brutish face, was Piao Chang-ho from the Kimchi Country team.

He weighed a thigh bone in his hand, his lecherous gaze wandering unscrupulously over Xia Xin's clothing.

"Aish, this Huaxia chick's legs are really strong; she hasn't gotten tired after running for so long."

Piao Chang-ho licked his yellowed, protruding front teeth: "I just love this kind of feisty one; her screams later are definitely going to be exhilarating!"

Beside him, the tall, thin Kim Min-jae, who practiced Taekwondo, toyed with a sharpened bone spike in his hand and added maliciously.

"Big Brother, after you've had your fill, remember to leave the thighs for me. This is top-quality tenderloin; it'll definitely be delicious roasted."

"Hehehe, I want those two mounds in front..." Li Dong-zhi, another man built like a black bear, had drool practically dripping to the ground.

These animals!

Xia Xin's stomach churned violently.

This is the God-Forsaken Land.

There is no law here, only naked bestiality.

Falling into their hands would truly be a fate worse than death.

"Don't come over...!!"

Xia Xin scrambled backward using her hands and feet until her back hit a giant rock.

There was nowhere left to retreat.

Behind her was a bottomless abyss, and beneath her feet, roiling green toxic mist.

"My Captain is nearby! If you touch me, he will chop you into pieces and feed you to the zombies!" Xia Xin screamed, her voice fierce but weak, trying to intimidate them.

"Captain? Is he tasty?"

Piao Chang-ho acted as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, laughing until he doubled over: "Shibal! Little girl, are you not awake yet? Never mind that he's not here; even if he were, I could still twist his head off and kick it like a ball!"

"Stop wasting time, the toxic zone is about to shrink! Hurry up and get it done!"

Piao Chang-ho lost his patience and reached out to grab Xia Xin's collar: "Get over here!"

It was at this moment!

Xia Xin, who had been trembling, suddenly flashed a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

She had been clutching a sharp piece of flint in her hand.

Talent—【Archer】, activate!

Although she had no bow, everything could be an arrow!

In that instant, her pupils seemed to turn into a fire-control radar; wind speed, distance, predicted trajectory... all calculated!

"Go to hell!!"

The flint left her hand, drawing a black line of death through the air!

The distance was too close!

Piao Chang-ho was still grinning savagely and had no time to dodge.

Splat!!

Like a ripe watermelon being smashed.

"Ahhhhh—!!!"

Piao Chang-ho clutched his left eye and let out a scream like a slaughtered pig!

Blood mixed with lens fluid gushed out between his fingers, splattering all over Kim Min-jae's face.

"My eye! Shibal! I'm blind!!"

Piao Chang-ho rolled on the ground in pain, his arrogance instantly turning into madness: "Kill her! Catch her for me! I'm going to peel her skin off bit by bit to make a lantern!"

Although this strike had succeeded, it had also enraged this group of beasts.

"You bitch! You're looking for death!!"

Li Dong-zhi roared and lunged at her.

This guy had no technique whatsoever; it was all just numerical suppression.

The few stones Xia Xin threw afterward hit his pectoral muscles, making no more difference than a tickle.

Absolute strength suppression!

"No... don't..."

Just as Xia Xin tried to crawl up, her hair was grabbed.

The immense pulling force made her feel like her scalp was about to be ripped off, and she was violently slammed against the rock!

Her back hit the rock, and the pain almost caused her to pass out.

Before she could catch her breath, a body reeking of sweat pressed down on her.

"You dare to cripple my Big Brother?!"

Li Dong-zhi straddled her, his fan-sized hands roughly tearing at the collar of her shirt.

Rip—!!

The sound of fabric tearing was despair-inducing.

Large patches of snow-white, smooth skin were exposed to the cold wind, causing fine goosebumps to rise.

"Let me go!! Get away!!"

Xia Xin struggled like a madwoman, her fingernails clawing bloody lines across Li Dong-zhi's face.

But this only made the beast more excited.

"Scream! Scream louder! Let's see who comes to save you in this wilderness!"

Li Dong-zhi pinned both of Xia Xin's arms above her head with one hand, while his other hand lecherously went to unbuckle his belt.

"I'll get my business done first, then kill you!"

"This skin... it's so smooth..."

Nearby, the one-eyed Piao Chang-ho crawled up with a twisted face and lifted a large rock: "Don't be in a rush to kill her! Hold her down! Break her hands and feet first! I want her to watch herself being eaten alive by us!!"

Despair, fear!

Tears mixed with dirt flowed into her mouth, tasting bitter and astringent.

At this moment, only one name remained in her mind.

That man who was always cold and indifferent, yet could create miracles every single time.

"Chen Du... save me..."

Even though she knew it was impossible, she still subconsciously shouted that name.

"Calling God won't help you!" Li Dong-zhi's stubbly mouth leaned in viciously.

Just at this critical juncture!

From deep within the Bone Forest to the side, a thunderous boom suddenly erupted!

Rumble!

A thigh-bone tree trunk as thick as a waist was actually snapped in two!

Bone fragments splattered, and dust billowed.

A blood-drenched figure, wrapped in monstrous killing intent, came sprinting over!

That is...

A woman?

No, that is a damn Valkyrie descending!

Tang Ran was covered in wounds, the flesh on her left arm was torn open, and half her body was stained red with blood.

But her aura was ten times more terrifying than when she was at full health!

Talent—【Fervorization】!

The lower the HP, the greater the strength, and the weaker the pain sensation!

At this moment, Tang Ran was an untiring killing machine!

"Take your filthy hands—off her!!!"

A roar, like a tiger's, shook Li Dong-zhi's eardrums until they ached!

As soon as he turned his head, his vision was filled with an ever-expanding knee.

"Get—lost!!!"

No frills, all technique, and the ultimate aesthetic of violence!

Sprinting flying knee!

Thud!

In that instant, Li Dong-zhi felt as if he had been struck head-on by a truck going over a hundred kilometers per hour.

Several ribs shattered on the spot, piercing directly into his lungs!

This power was too terrifying; the two-hundred-plus-pound brute was sent flying off Xia Xin like a ragdoll!

Li Dong-zhi slammed heavily onto the ground five meters away!

Without even a groan, he passed out cold, foaming blood from his mouth!

"Cough, cough..."

Tang Ran's landing wasn't steady either, and she rolled to dissipate the momentum.

She knelt on one knee, her neat hair soaked through with sweat, sticking damply to her face.

She raised her head.

Those crimson eyes stared fixedly at the remaining two, her mouth curling into a wild grin.

"Are you okay? Crybaby?"

Her voice was hoarse, but it was incredibly reassuring.

Xia Xin stared blankly at this tomboy, who was always disliked by other girls for being crude.

At this moment, Tang Ran's back wasn't broad, but it looked incredibly cool.

"Wuwu... Tang Ran..." Xia Xin clutched her chest, her tears breaking the dam.

"Stop crying! Hold those tears back!"

Tang Ran spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and stood up unsteadily.

Her wounds were still dripping blood, but the fighting spirit in her eyes was burning.

"There are two pieces of scum left; they'll be perfect for grinding some EXP."

"Shibal! Crazy woman!"

Piao Chang-ho clutched his blinded eye and looked at Li Dong-zhi, who had been taken out in one hit; a chill finally crept into his heart.

This woman... her eyes were too terrifying!

"Kill her, Min-jae! Attack together! She's at the end of her rope and still bleeding!" Piao Chang-ho roared hysterically.

However.

Before they could even make a move.

All sound suddenly vanished at this moment.

Only the scalp-numbing sound of corrosion remained.

Everyone subconsciously looked out over the cliff.

They saw that the green toxic mist from the abyss had risen up at some unknown point!

Like a massive "tsunami" that blocked out the sky, it was about to swallow this foothold!

【Warning! Countdown finished! The first stage of the toxic zone is beginning to shrink!】

【The safe zone is refreshing!】
