69: We can all die, but he can't.

Xie Lin immediately stood up and said, "The arena is about to shrink, which has a lot of randomness. We need to be prepared for battle."

The others also nodded in agreement. The combat power of the small teams here was definitely not bad, and they still needed to be prepared in case they encountered a large team of exotic beasts.

Although the teams in the first stage would not be too large, it was difficult for humans to find people, and it was the same for exotic beasts.

Xun Xiuyuan unhurriedly put away the barbecue grill. This had to be put away, what if he didn't encounter anyone for half a day in the next round?

Soon, ten minutes passed quickly.

The mechanical prompt sounded again.

Remaining life forms: 9453. The arena is shrinking.

Xun Xiuyuan and a dozen others stood in place, feeling nothing.

It was just the prompt sounding again that let Xun Xiuyuan know that the map had already shrunk.

Remaining life forms: 9453. The arena will shrink in six hours.

Li Feihong consciously asked Xun Xiuyuan, "Young Friend Xun, what should we do next? Should we actively go out and search, or continue to wait?"

Xun Xiuyuan didn't know how large the arena would be after it shrank.

So he asked, "How big is the arena after it shrinks? Is it convenient to find people?"

"The arena after the first shrinkage is estimated to be nearly a thousand kilometers in area. It can be traversed in an hour if flying at full speed."

It was still Li Feihong who answered. The Li Family had the most intelligence on the arena's situation.

Xun Xiuyuan calculated that the arena would shrink again in a total of six hours. Even with full-speed flight, it would only be three round trips, and he estimated that he wouldn't even be able to explore half of the arena's area.

He scratched his head and said, "How about we continue?"

Xie Lin and Li Feihong exchanged glances and nodded.

It was precisely because the area was large enough and the personnel were widely distributed that hundreds of humans had the opportunity to enter Ling Tian Pagoda each time they came in.

If the area was very small and they faced thousands of Immaculate Realm exotic beasts upon entering, then humanity would be wiped out every time.

Seeing the two nod, Xun Xiuyuan, without hesitation, continued to take out the barbecue grill and resume the picnic.

However, this time, before the picnic even began, a large group of exotic beasts, estimated to be over a hundred, appeared in their sight.

He didn't know how they found their teammates, perhaps the exotic beasts' ability to find companions was superior to that of humans.

Because human technological products were useless in the ruins, otherwise they wouldn't be so passive.

Upon seeing the exotic beasts, Xun Xiuyuan became a little excited: "You all continue, Uncle Xie and Uncle Li, prevent any stragglers. I'll go get some exercise."

Xie Lin looked at Xun Xiuyuan speechlessly: "You're going alone?"

Li Feihong now had some understanding of Xun Xiuyuan's combat power, but facing a hundred exotic beasts alone, he still said, "We should focus on defense and slowly wear them down."

Xun Xiuyuan had already taken out his great sword: "No need, I have body refining techniques. They can't break my defense at all. You all just take care of yourselves."

After saying that, he charged over alone.

The twelve people here no longer had any thoughts of barbecuing. They formed a circle and watched the battle not far away.

Perhaps it was because Xun Xiuyuan caused great damage to the exotic beast group as soon as he made a move, all the exotic beasts focused their attacks on Xun Xiuyuan, and not a single one came over to their side.

The twelve people were like wooden statues, completely dumbfounded. How could one person be so strong? If he advanced to the Shattering Void Realm, would he be able to sweep through the abyss?

A moment later, Xun Xiuyuan returned to the barbecue stall with a satisfied expression.

He immediately said, "There are four more Firebirds. Let's continue the barbecue; there's plenty of meat."

At this time, on the light screen outside, Xun Xiuyuan's kill count was far ahead, breaking into triple digits.

Ling Jun laughed heartily, "This little fellow is very interesting. The Xie Family has supported a genius; their contribution is not small."

Xie An was also very happy after hearing this. After all, Xun Xiuyuan was the Xie Family's son-in-law.

With such a genius being vigorously cultivated, he would have great achievements in the future.

Mu Ying was also looking at the ranking. He said to the several Shattering Void Realm experts beside him, "After this ruin ends, if this Xun Xiuyuan comes out alive, we must formulate a plan to eliminate this little fellow. For hundreds of years, the human race has never seen such a monstrous talent."

A giant fiery red bird beside him opened its mouth and said, "Xiong Da of the Bear Clan can pass the second floor of Ling Tian Pagoda relying solely on his own combat power, which is equivalent to challenging two hundred cultivators of the same rank. I believe he still has a chance to kill this child."

A giant man with a bear's head and a human body interjected, "Xiong Da's combat power has already surpassed the peak of ordinary Immaculate Realm cultivators. Even ordinary transcendents are not his opponents. He can definitely kill this Xun Xiuyuan if they meet, but I don't know if they will."

Mu Ying also nodded: "I hope they can meet. After the arena shrinks for the last time, it will be less than thirty kilometers in radius, and patrolling the entire arena will only take ten minutes."

As Xun Xiuyuan and the others waited, they once again encountered a team of humans, quite numerous, estimated to be several teams combined, totaling over forty people.

The majority of the forty-plus people were from Flying Dragon City and Qianlong City, with a very small number from Qiulong City.

However, everyone recognized Ling Feihong and Xie Lin, as these two were considered peak experts among the human race's Immaculate Realm cultivators.

Without much dispute, nearly sixty people gathered together, ready to obey Ling Feihong and Xie Lin's command.

Wen Liang, the leading expert of Flying Dragon City and a peak Immaculate Realm cultivator, looked at Ling Feihong and Xie Lin and asked, "What's the next step? Should we still wait here like waiting for a rabbit?"

Ling Feihong looked at Xun Xiuyuan, and Xie Lin did the same.

Xun Xiuyuan said, "Uncle Ling, there are a total of three map shrinkages. The area is still very large right now. I think after the second map shrinkage, you all wait here, and I'll fly out to search and inform them to gather here."

Ling Feihong also nodded after hearing this. After the second map shrinkage, the area would only be one hundred and fifty kilometers in radius, and it would probably be possible to do a rough circuit in an hour.

"Okay, then it's decided. Be aware that flying tools cannot be used in here; only flying is allowed."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded and looked around. There were too many people, so barbecuing was no longer appropriate. He had no choice but to put away the barbecue grill and wait for the second map shrinkage.

Wen Liang was very surprised to see Xie Lin and Ling Feihong's attitude towards Xun Xiuyuan.

He pulled Ling Feihong aside and asked about Xun Xiuyuan.

Ling Feihong recounted his encounter with Xun Xiuyuan.

Wen Liang asked incredulously, "One person fighting a hundred exotic beasts alone? How is that possible?"

Ling Feihong reminded him, "I said one person slaughtered a hundred exotic beasts, not fought them, slaughtered them, do you understand? The exotic beasts' attacks were completely ineffective against him. You know the Savage Bear's sharp claws; they barely affected him."

"Is it some special physique? Or the effect of a body refining technique?" Wen Liang muttered, looking at Xun Xiuyuan.

Upon hearing this, Ling Feihong simply said, "No matter what it is, he must enter Ling Tian Pagoda. We can all die, but he cannot."

Wen Liang did not refute and nodded.
