The King of Black Fog

"I quit! I quit!" yelled a player whose strength was equivalent to the first level of Visualization.

The game didn't respond.

Unlike usual instance tasks, where you just need to shout "quit" when safe to end the task and then receive a failure penalty, this event had no direct exit option.

To leave, you would only be eliminated, like in this round, by not grabbing a small boat.

"Get out of the way!" The giant beast stepped forward, shaking the ground and mountains, trampling lower-level players who couldn't dodge in time to death.

Many players stayed on the sidelines, silently watching the giant beast approach the canoe.

The giant beast's foot came down, and the canoe suddenly expanded, just big enough to carry the giant beast's massive body.

The watching players fell like heavy rain.

Now that the task had just begun, the number of canoes was plentiful, and the competition wasn't too fierce yet. Players who couldn't seize one wouldn't risk their lives but instead hurried to find another empty boat.

Li Changzhou didn't move, standing with the low-level players waiting to be naturally eliminated.

If he went up now, all the players in front of him would receive a system prompt, recognizing him as the 'King of Black Fog', 'Master', and would challenge him.

"Ah, so unlucky, participating in a task once a month, finally making it to today, and it's actually an all-player event!"

"The Game Coin game is to select the 'winners', so of course, it needs to be more intense."

"Putting us ordinary players with those monster players, it's too unfair!"

"Fairness? Nature never cares about fairness."

"That 'King of Black Fog' actually has the Second Instinct and can use Game Coin to enhance skill levels. How is there such a player!"

"Who knows from which civilization circle."

The giant beast, moving away from the cliff, suddenly turned back and spewed a fierce flame.

Whoosh!

In the blazing fire, one black figure after another collapsed, those were lower-level players instantly carbonized.

The fire licked warmly against the body, Li Changzhou looked at the first level Visualization player who had shouted 'quit' before.

The fire crawled at the opponent's feet, noticing Li Changzhou's gaze, he gave a shy smile, then waved his hand, and the fire's power surged instantly.

"Ah!"

Some players who had managed to withstand the fire were all ignited, turning into living candles.

"Why! We gave up the competition, why kill us!" someone cried in bewilderment.

"Fight for it! Grabbing a boat might still allow survival!" someone gritted their teeth in resistance.

Amidst a sinister laugh, the lower-level players who rushed to grab the canoe jumped off the cliff one by one, committing suicide.

Losing the basic rule of 'evenly matched', those on the frontline could freely slaughter lower-level players.

Bang!

In the next moment, the giant beast, still spewing flames and laughing wildly, let out a thunderous wail as most of its body blasted apart, the flesh and blood turning almost into rain.

The giant beast dared not linger, controlling the canoe, speeding away from shore.

Bang!

The giant beast shattered completely.

Bang! Another sound of flesh splintering, the sinister laughter disappeared.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

From a bird's-eye view, flesh-and-blood flowers bloomed one after another, targeting no one, regardless of those preparing to pass on or those preparing for natural elimination, none could escape.

Li Changzhou lightly blew a breath, sending away a speck of dust that tried to float towards him.

Bang!

The speck fell on a fragment of a shattered corpse, exploding once more.

"Hmph!" A fierce gale howled, sweeping up all the dust.

Not waiting for the dust to gather, this wind suddenly exploded, turning the players standing within it into a pile of rotten flesh.

"Dust isn't a bomb; it's only because I made the dust a bomb that it became one. How can you not see even this much? How did you survive in the game?" a handsome blue-haired man sighed.

Next, the wind turned into a bomb.

Whether natural wind or wind stirred by people's movement, all turned into terrifyingly powerful flesh bombs, exploding upon contact with the body.

Hunting, fleeing, Pursuit, the meat grinder was no less.

The battle was nearing its end, a few players grabbed a canoe and left the cliff, all others perished!

On the cliff, only the blue-haired man and Li Changzhou remained.

Beside them, severed limbs, rotten flesh, blood water, covered the cliff's surface.

"Are you very confident in yourself?" the blue-haired man held his right hand in a virtual grip, drawing out a Weapon from thin air, the blade slowly emerging.

Li Changzhou shook his head: "It's precisely because of my lack of confidence that I stayed."

The blue-haired man slightly frowned: "What do you mean? Do you think there's someone stronger than me among the escaped players?"

"I don't know, but no matter how strong you are, the others will only hide from you, their goal is to enter the next stage. I'm different; everyone will besiege me."

The blue-haired man sneered: "Who do you think you are? Everyone will besiege you? Die!"

Boom!

The ground underfoot shattered, and he turned to flee!

Cold sweat poured down his entire body, his heart pounded, even abandoning the half-drawn blade!

The gale surged entirely towards Li Changzhou, the blue-haired man landed on a canoe, shooting out like an arrow from a bowstring.

With a casual wave, Black Fog extinguished the wind as if snuffing a candle, Li Changzhou stepped forward, casually drawing the blade.

[Name: Flesh Explosion Blade]

[Effect: With each slash, it can explode a portion of the flesh target's body]

[Note: The "explosive aesthetics of natural objects" yields the fruit after a certain degree of flesh explosion, consumable]

Li Changzhou rubbed the blade into a spear with both hands, then raised his arm, Divine Power exploded on his shoulder.

Bang!!

Sonic boom.

Only after getting far enough did the blue-haired man finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"King of Black Fog!" his face was cold and stern, mixed with some lingering fright.
