269: Start of trial

Chapter 269: The Trial Begins

At this moment, Kou Qi made no secret of his intentions.

All members of the Blood Alliance also revealed their equipment.

Although the Blood Alliance had fewer people, there were many miscellaneous people on the deck.

But their levels were not very high.

The Blood Alliance had come prepared for this trip, with almost the entire guild's first echelon present.

Everyone was trembling with fear.

"Kou Qi! How dare you!"

"We are human beings, living, breathing people!"

"If we die here, how will you explain it when you go back!"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"I don't want the treasures anymore, please let me go back, I won't say anything."

...

Unfortunately, this idea was too naive.

Kou Qi looked at everyone indifferently.

He said with a sinister smile, "You all are going to die here. After I go back, I don't need to explain to anyone. And even if I did, going to the Forbidden Sea by boat and encountering an accident, isn't that normal? As long as I insist on it, what can anyone do even if they suspect me?"

After speaking.

Kou Qi looked at the surrounding sea.

As far as his eyes could see, the sea seemed to be boiling.

Although he couldn't clearly see the movement below the surface, just by the current scale, any fool would know that a large number of sea monsters were gathering in this direction!

Everyone despaired.

Especially after hearing Kou Qi's words, they despaired even more!

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"Let's resist together! As long as we kill the Blood Alliance members, we can live!"

"How can we live? Even if all the Blood Alliance members die, what about these sea monsters?"

"Damn Kou Qi, may your son be born either without an anus or with two anuses!"

"It's over, it's over, can anyone save me?"

...

For a time, there was crying, shouting, cursing, begging for mercy, and despair—everything imaginable.

Kou Qi seemed very satisfied with the effect before him.

To witness this scene before these people died brought Kou Qi immense satisfaction.

This also showed that he was truly a pervert.

Lu Ran glanced at the surrounding sea.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed.

Lu Ran couldn't see the sea monsters below the surface, but he could see the markings.

That's right.

Those were controllable markings.

Although Lu Ran no longer fully relied on the Bone Throne's markings for dark-type creatures.

Killing hostile creatures could also allow him to resurrect and control them.

But strictly speaking, the Bone Throne's control was still simpler.

And currently.

Lu Ran discovered that all these large groups of gathering sea monsters were dark-type creatures.

"That's strange, are there so many dark-type creatures in the Forbidden Sea?" Lu Ran muttered to himself.

Or rather.

Were all the creatures attracted by the dragon horn protozoa secretions dark-type creatures?

As he was thinking, the sea monsters were getting closer and closer.

The despair of the crowd became even more pronounced.

Lu Ran turned his head and looked around.

Suddenly, he understood the thoughts of Liu Xinxin, Shen Man, and even Nanasheng earlier.

When these people were in despair, Lu Ran stepping forward to save them would maximize the emotional benefit.

It must be said that Lu Ran was still far behind in playing psychological warfare.

The same goal, but different approaches, could achieve different results.

Although Lu Ran wasn't obsessed with this effect.

But Liu Xinxin and the others cared.

"What? All you can do is beg for mercy? No one resists? Is that all you're capable of?" Kou Qi said regretfully.

He wasn't worried about these people resisting.

He had even prepared to make an example of someone.

The Blood Alliance could completely suppress them.

As a psychologically twisted person, he would rather engage in a massacre to bring his emotions to a peak today.

Unfortunately.

No one resisted at all.

In the face of absolute power suppression, under the influence of herd mentality, no one dared to be the first to step out.

Because if one were to step out, regardless of the final outcome, that person would definitely be the first to die!

"Damn it, a bunch of useless people. The time is almost right. Prepare to scatter the bait. If anyone resists, kill them directly! Their corpses can also serve as bait, the effect won't be much worse." Kou Qi watched as the surrounding sea monsters got closer and quickly began to deploy.

The crowd on the entire deck began to stir.

The Blood Alliance members, in batches, began to target the people on the deck, preparing to continuously throw them into the Forbidden Sea.

This was to delay the sea monster's rampage and achieve Kou Qi's goal.

"The time is almost right, now." Nanasheng saw that the Blood Alliance members were about to make their move, so she reminded Lu Ran.

"Alright." Lu Ran nodded.

He simply walked out alone.

Huh?

Lu Ran's actions attracted everyone's attention.

Kou Qi also looked at Lu Ran, and muttered, "Undead Mage? Judging by your age, you should still be a novice professional? What are you doing? Being a trailblazer?"

As he spoke, a sinister smile appeared on Kou Qi's face.

Someone stepping forward, he was very satisfied!

Just in time for some fun!

The crowd was also looking at Lu Ran at this moment.

Their eyes filled with gratitude.

Although they knew that even if someone stepped forward, it wouldn't be of much use, it was already rare for someone to stand out at this time.

"It's you! Damn it, it was you, kid, who was skulking around our dragon horn protozoa secretions earlier. I almost forgot to deal with you myself, but now you've jumped out yourself, how interesting." One of the Blood Alliance members raised an eyebrow and said.

Lu Ran glanced at the other party.

He couldn't be bothered to respond.

He just continued to look at Kou Qi.

He said, "You arranged such a large ship and tricked so many professionals and life professionals to go out to sea, all for the purpose of killing them and achieving your goals. You're quite bold. Maliciously killing Dragon Xia's own professionals is an unforgivable crime, and with so many people, it's enough for you to die a hundred times over."

Kou Qi chuckled.

He was completely unfazed.

He shrugged and said, "You truly are a newborn calf who isn't afraid of tigers. Then let me ask you, I am going to kill you all, and I've said it several times already, you all are going to die here today, so what? Who will know? And who can punish me?"

Lu Ran said indifferently, "I will."

Kou Qi's brow furrowed.

He said, "Ignorance is bliss, but since you've stepped forward, I'll have to teach you a lesson and let you know that in this world, being a trailblazer doesn't end well."

After speaking.

His gaze swept over the Blood Alliance members beside him.

He said, "Come, throw this kid down first!"

As soon as his voice fell.

Several Blood Alliance members surrounded Lu Ran.

Lu Ran looked at them indifferently, his expression unperturbed.

This made Kou Qi feel an inexplicable chill, a continuous coldness creeping up from the soles of his feet.

Why did it feel so wrong?

It felt very, very wrong!

And at this moment.

Several Blood Alliance members had already reached Lu Ran.

Unfortunately, they hadn't even touched Lu Ran yet.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

...

A large surge of Undead energy erupted around him.

Then, it instantly condensed into a dozen Ancient Golems, surrounding Lu Ran like a city wall.

Lu Ran said indifferently, "Now, I will begin your trial."
