Chapter 498: Avoiding the Giant Monster

However, the disaster was far from over. More monsters crawled out of the cave. Giant snakes twisted their thick bodies, their tongues flickering in and out, as if searching for prey. Giant centipedes crawled swiftly with their densely packed legs, making a rustling sound that made your scalp tingle. There were even ants as big as humans, their antennae constantly waving, as if sensing everything around them.

These monsters not only attacked humans frantically, but also slaughtered each other. Different kinds of monsters tore at each other, creating a chaotic scene. Blood flowed continuously, forming streams that spread across the ground. The air was thick with the stench of blood, making people sick.

Suddenly, Chen Xin'er's eyes changed, as if she'd seen something. She subconsciously clapped her hands at Lin Feng. Lin Feng was absorbed in watching the chaos outside, thinking Chen Xin'er had something to say. Turning around, he saw a giant ant, which had quietly approached and was staring intently at them. Its compound eyes flickered with an eerie light, and its sharp mouthparts opened and closed, as if ready to attack at any moment.

"Oh no! Run!" Lin Feng's face changed drastically. He shouted, and without hesitation, he picked up Chen Xiner and ran away. Xu Tian and Chen Yu also reacted and followed closely behind. They jumped out of the cave and fled in all directions among the chaotic crowd and monsters, running as fast as they could.

Chen Yu, a half-step Grandmaster, seemed somewhat outmatched in this chaotic scene. Gradually, his strength began to wear thin, and his pace slowed. Panting heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat, he shouted, "Xu Tian, ​​hurry up and hold me! I can't run any longer!"

Xu Tian shouted as he ran: "I want you shameless! You are still joking at this time!" At this time, he was also panting, his face full of anxiety, and his eyes kept scanning the dangers around him.

Chen Yu was shocked and scared, and almost cried out: "Save me quickly, or I will die here! I really have no strength left!" His eyes were full of despair, and his heart was filled with fear as he looked at the monsters approaching him.

Xu Tian sighed helplessly and shouted, "Oh! I don't have any feelings for you. But don't get me wrong, this is just to escape!" After saying that, he quickly stopped, picked up Chen Yu, and continued to run forward.

Lin Feng held Chen Xiner in his arms, and Xu Tian held Chen Yu in his arms, as they struggled forward on this chaotic battlefield. Every step was full of hardship and danger.

"Hiss—" A giant snake, as thick as a bucket, swished towards Lin Feng and his companions like a flash of black lightning, its tongue spitting out its tongue. Its scales gleamed coldly in the dim light, its triangular head raised high, its eyes gleaming with bloodthirstiness. Lin Feng's eyes froze, and he hugged Chen Xin'er tightly, dodging the snake's attack with a sideways motion. The snake missed its pounce, twisting its body in anger, and attacked again.

"Be careful!" Xu Tian yelled, quickly retreating with Chen Yu in his arms. A massive lizard swung its thick claws at them fiercely. Its claws, as big as a palm leaf fan, whirred with the wind. Xu Tian dodged the blow, narrowly avoiding it, but the lizard's claws scratched deep grooves in the ground.

The surrounding monsters engaged in a frenzied melee. A giant snake grappled with a giant lizard, the snake wrapping its body tightly around the lizard, which then opened its bloody mouth and bit the snake. Giant ants and centipedes also engaged in a fierce battle, the ants wielding their sharp claws while the centipedes struggled to break free with their densely packed legs.

"Ah—" A scream echoed from a distance as a warrior was gripped by the pincers of a half-human, half-scorpion monster, blood splattering everywhere. The monsters not only attacked each other, but also hunted humans as prey. The battlefield was in chaos, a terrifying cacophony of shouts and screams.

"Hurry, get into the tower!" A shrill cry pierced the chaotic din. Lin Feng and the others heard it and simultaneously looked toward the tower. The five-story tower stood silently in the center of the battlefield, its surroundings eerily quiet, devoid of a single monster. A half-human, half-scorpion monster seemed to have noticed the tower's anomaly. It sprinted toward it, but just as it approached, as if sensing some mortal danger, its body stiffened, its pincers opening and closing nervously. Then it turned and quickly fled the area.

"Let's run to the tower too!" Lin Feng shouted without hesitation, holding Chen Xin'er in his arms and running towards the tower. Chen Xin'er hugged Lin Feng's neck tightly, her body still trembling slightly, but a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes: "Lin Feng, we must get in alive." Lin Feng nodded vigorously, his forehead covered with sweat, and said firmly: "Don't worry, I'm here, we can do it."

Xu Tian held Chen Yu in his arms, following closely behind Lin Feng. Chen Yu panted heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat. "Xu Tian, ​​this time is all thanks to you. I'll buy you a drink when we get out." Xu Tian rolled his eyes at him. Although exhausted, he still teased, "Let's get out alive first. I don't want to drink your beheading wine." They moved through the monster's encirclement, taking every step carefully, fearing they would be discovered.

The remaining survivors also noticed the unusual situation within the tower and rushed inside. The once numerous group had been decimated by the monster's attack, leaving only a few Grandmasters and a few more powerful Grandmasters. They were all wounded to varying degrees, their clothing tattered and bloodstained, but their eyes gleamed with the desire to survive.

Fang Mufei, sword in hand, fended off the monsters' attacks as he ran toward the tower. His face was filled with determination, sweat and blood mingling as they streamed down his cheeks. His swordsmanship was sharp, each strike imbued with powerful momentum, but facing the endless stream of monsters, he gradually felt overwhelmed.

Chang Jihou brandished his spear, protecting those around him. Like a dragon, he thrust at the approaching monster. The tip of the spear flashed with a cold light, but even that couldn't hide his exhaustion. His eyes revealed anxiety, and he kept urging those around him, "Hurry! Speed ​​up!"

After everyone's desperate efforts, they finally rushed into the tower one after another. As soon as they entered, the monsters outside stopped. They wandered around the tower, attacking each other, but none of them dared to attack the tower.

Everyone had just escaped from the siege of monsters, and their tense nerves finally relaxed. They collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, and the joy of surviving the disaster filled everyone's heart.
