You guys are still cruel.

The Shadow gagged for a moment, then said with a dark expression, "What the hell, you motherf*cker, why are you so disgusting! *Ugh!*"

Lin Nuoyi frowned deeply, looked at Zhu Qiang with disdain, and said, "Zhu Qiang, why are you still carrying poop on you!"

Zhu Qiang chuckled, "That's not poop, it's a trophy I obtained earlier, called something like a Rotten Heart. It's useless, just smells incredibly awful. I got it from someone under the Azure Alliance. I don't know why such a strange thing exists."

"But you just grabbed it with your hand—ew, stay away from me!" Lin Nuoyi said, frowning in disgust.

Zhu Qiang took off his transparent gloves, threw them aside, and gave a dry chuckle.

The few lackeys around the Shadow subconsciously took two steps back, unable to help but pinch their noses.

The Shadow wiped his face clean, but the stench remained. The Shadow gagged every now and then, until tears streamed down his face.

"It—it really is smellier than Luosifen!"

The Shadow raged, "Kill him for me! After that, throw that guy into the pile of dead bodies!"

With that, the Shadow summoned his pet.

【Black Fiend Prison Hound】

Rank: LV15

Tier: Sixth-Tier Supreme

Attribute: Shadow

...

A three-headed hound exuding black Qi appeared before the Shadow.

Its three pitch-black heads were drooling, looking incredibly disgusting.

The others also summoned their respective pets.

Ye Chen stepped forward, and his Golden Armor appeared.

Blood Asura hovered beside Ye Chen, gripping the Blood God Scythe with an excited smile on her face.

Seeing Blood Asura, the Shadow's pupils shrank violently: "LV16, Seventh-Tier, Seventh-Tier Saint Grade! *Ugh!*"

There was panic in the Shadow's tone.

Upon seeing Blood Asura, the many lackeys were also stunned.

One lackey said with difficulty, "Bo—boss, that... that LV16 Saint Grade pet, can you beat it?"

"Beat your head! What do you think? Stop talking nonsense, attack together!"

With that, more than forty pets lunged toward Ye Chen and his group.

The Black Fiend Prison Hound ran in the lead, its two side heads dangling like pendants, swaying constantly as it ran.

Saliva flowed from its mouth, covering the ground.

The King Kong Ape let out a roar, activated Berserk, and leaped into the center of the pet horde.

Blood Asura chuckled twice and also charged in.

Shadow Assault!

Blood Asura's primary target was the Black Fiend Prison Hound. In the blink of an eye, she arrived above the hound's head. The Blood God Scythe slashed directly onto one of its heads.

Ten Shadow Slash!

Ten red figures burst out from Blood Asura's body, charging toward the Black Fiend Prison Hound with a unified goal.

Swish, swish, swish...

Eleven sounds of wind-breaking rang out.

Eleven blade shadows landed on the Black Fiend Prison Hound. Instantly, eleven bloody wounds appeared on its body.

The Black Fiend Prison Hound's HP dropped directly from 110,000 to 40,000.

The Shadow's pupils instantly dilated, filled with terror.

"What? This—how is this possible!"

Watching more than half of the Black Fiend Prison Hound's HP vanish in an instant, the Shadow wore an expression of disbelief.

It wasn't just the Shadow; the surrounding lackeys were equally astonished, gulping with difficulty.

If this damage landed on their own pets, wouldn't it be an instant BBQ!

Having suffered such severe damage, the Black Fiend Prison Hound was furious, and a roar echoed throughout the entire hall.

The black Qi on its body grew even more intense.

Pets above LV15 have entered their growth phase and will also acquire growth skills.

Hum! A powerful shockwave dispersed from around the Black Fiend Prison Hound.

When the shockwave hit Ye Chen and his group, the five of them felt their vision go dark, and their heads felt dizzy.

Blood Asura was closest to the Black Fiend Prison Hound and was also affected.

She shook her slightly dazed little head, gradually regaining her clarity.

When she opened her eyes, the Black Fiend Prison Hound was biting hard onto one of Blood Asura's Clones.

Blood Asura's Clone only had one-fifth of the main body's HP, which meant it only had just over 20,000.

The Black Fiend Prison Hound also activated a skill: Three-Headed Bite.

Its three heads, as if gone mad, kept tearing at one of Blood Asura's Clones.

Bang! With a muffled thud, one of Blood Asura's Clones instantly vanished.

"Well done!" The Shadow waved his fist, then: "*Ugh!*"

Every time he opened his mouth, that foul stench came rushing out.

Zhu Qiang mocked, "You only bit one of Blood Asura's Clones to death; what's there to be happy about? Look at your pathetic self—why don't you see how many of your lackeys have died!"

The Shadow turned to look. Behind him, of the forty-plus lackeys, only twenty-eight remained. In just a short while, nearly half had been killed or wounded.

King Kong Ape, Flower Fairy, Beauty Snake, and Piggy Dragon were all LV13 now; dealing with these LV10s was naturally a piece of cake.

The death of one of Blood Asura's Clones had also ignited Blood Asura's temper.

Blood Asura let out a cry.

Shadow Assault!

Blood Asura blinked in front of the Black Fiend Prison Hound, and ten Blood God Scythes slashed onto the Black Fiend Prison Hound's heads.

Puff! The three heads instantly fell to the ground.

The Black Fiend Prison Hound was dead!

The Shadow's expression was pained; he struggled for a moment before collapsing to the ground, dead.

Seeing the Shadow die, the remaining lackeys instantly panicked and hurriedly knelt on the ground, begging, "Big Brother, Big Sister, Big Brother, Big Sister, stop fighting! Spare our dog lives! We beg you!"

Looking at the group begging for mercy, Ye Chen didn't feel a shred of softness.

He continued to let Blood Asura attack.

Watching the people beside them fall to the ground one after another, the panic and fear in their hearts grew even more intense.

"Big Brother! Big Brother! Don't kill us! We'll tell you everything! On the fourth floor, we've imprisoned many people, including many Pet Masters. We'll help you release them in exchange for our lives, okay? Big Brother, just treat us like a fart and let us go, please! I beg you!"

"Oh!" Ye Chen was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that Pet Masters were actually being held here; it wasn't written in the intel.

Ye Chen said coldly, "Spare that person's dog life, kill all the others!"

Ye Chen said, pointing at the lackey who had spoken.

Blood Asura nodded and continued to slaughter the crowd.

Before long, only two were left.

Just at this moment, a scream rang out.

Only to see the other remaining person pick up a dagger and stab it into the former's neck.

Shh! The latter pulled out the dagger, and a pillar of blood instantly sprayed out.

The former collapsed to the ground in an instant.

The latter knelt on the ground and chuckled, "Big Brother, I know that for you, having just one person is enough. I know as much as he did. Spare me, spare my dog life, okay?"

Looking at the latter's fawning expression, there was not a shred of unease from hunting down his own teammate.

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh. As expected of the Shadow's lackey, he had perfectly inherited the Shadow's sinister cunning.

This person was truly ruthless; in order to survive, he didn't hesitate to lay hands on his own teammate.

Although it's said that in this chaotic world, everyone is just trying to survive, but to kill one's own long-time teammate with one's own hands for the sake of oneself...

...this kind of thing is still quite despicable.
