Starting with 10,000 times the experience, and you're calling me a terrible player?

The wind on the wasteland has stopped.

On the way to the safe zone, there was a very strange group.

The alien prince, carrying a serrated broadsword, mechanically slashed at Lin Mo every three steps.

Thousands of blade energies exploded, scattering a dense barrage of "-0".

The princess silently followed beside the crown prince, occasionally raising her hand to deliver a finishing blow.

Li Yueyue dragged her staff at the back, her eyes red and swollen under her silver hood, releasing a shower of starlight every ten seconds.

Lin Yao pressed herself against Lin Mo's left side, her head turning left and right like a startled field mouse.

As for Lu Fei...

They disappeared without a trace at some point.

"Lu Fei is hiding," Lin Yao whispered.

"Whatever."

As Lin Mo walked, he shook his shoulders to relax them.

They walked forward for about fifteen minutes.

I didn't meet anyone.

We didn't encounter any monsters either.

Even the chirping of insects has disappeared.

The rubble, bones, and broken weapon fragments lay quietly in the wasteland.

It's as if someone had cleaned this area beforehand.

Lin Yao's heart was beating faster and faster.

She is not a fool.

The safe zone was just three kilometers ahead, and the road was incredibly clean.

The absence of any strange occurrences suggests that someone cleared the area beforehand.

The fact that there's no one there means everyone is waiting ahead.

"Lin Mo... I feel something's not right."

Lin Yao's voice was weak.

"Yeah, something's definitely not right."

Lin Mo nodded in agreement.

Anyone can tell that the atmosphere is very strange right now.

"Number 1, your slash was off-angled just now. It's uncomfortable to hit your back. Try slashing your left shoulder instead."

The foreign crown prince gritted his teeth and adjusted his angle.

Lin Yao was horrified when she saw this, because Lin Mo seemed completely unconcerned.

We walked for another five minutes.

The ground began to change.

The once barren sandy ground now bears numerous marks from being scorched by magic.

In some places, the rocks have been completely flattened, with smooth, reflective surfaces.

In some places, the surface of the ground was overturned, revealing the dark brown soil underneath, as if it had been plowed by some kind of large-scale magic.

"These are the traces left from the clearing."

Lin Mo glanced at it and tossed the apple core into his spatial ring.

"They killed all the monsters within a radius of several kilometers just to surround me."

"They've really gone all out."

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

At the sixth minute, the boundary of the safe zone appeared ahead.

A pale golden wall of light spanned the entire basin, enveloping an area with a diameter of 500 meters.

Within the wall of light, countless figures could be vaguely seen.

Lin Mo stopped in his tracks.

"Number 3".

Li Yueyue reflexively raised her staff: "Yes...yes."

Approximately how many people are inside?

Li Yueyue cast a detection spell, and the silver starlight transformed into several small light birds that flew towards the safe zone.

Three seconds later, her face turned deathly pale.

"Three hundred...three hundred and seventy-seven people."

"Not bad, not bad!"

Lin Mo nodded.

Lin Yao was almost in tears: "What do you mean 'not bad'?!"

Lin Mo did not answer her.

Because the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to shake.

"boom!"

Without warning, the ground exploded simultaneously from all directions.

Dozens of giant rock pillars, each over three meters in diameter, burst forth from the ground with a piercing sound of rock breaking, rising at an unstoppable speed.

The rock pillars quickly closed in, forming a closed rock cage with a diameter of about two hundred meters around Lin Mo.

The interlocking rock pillars at the top completely block out the sky.

The Thousand Rocks are locked down.

This is a terrain confinement spell that requires at least three advanced array masters to cast in concert.

Once formed, those inside cannot leave by any means.

As for Lin Mo's resilience, it certainly couldn't be of any use in controlling the terrain.

Just like Olaf couldn't escape from the Prince's ultimate.

Just like Yang Jian couldn't pass through the wall built by Zhu Bajie.

In this situation, even the highest level of resilience is useless.

Lin Yao was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

The foreign prince stopped swinging his sword.

The princess instinctively took a step back.

Li Yueyue's hand holding the staff was trembling.

"That's good, that's thoughtful."

Lin Mo looked up at the sealed rock dome above him, then looked down at the ground beneath his feet, which was crushed by the raised rock pillars, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This is more grand than I imagined."

At the edge above the rock wall, figures began to appear.

They stood atop the rock pillar, looking down at Lin Mo at the bottom of the cage.

Some crossed their arms and wore mocking expressions.

Some held their weapons, casually wiping the blades.

Some were in groups of three or five, even whispering and chatting among themselves.

No one was looking at Lin Mo.

To be more precise—nobody felt the need to pay close attention to him.

"This is the guy with the billion-dollar bounty? He doesn't look anything special."

"A level 30, unskilled warrior. Can I withstand three punches from my Farmer's Kung Fu?"

"Don't fight over it, I agreed to go first."

"What do you mean 'first'? Everyone has agreed that we should work together to deal with him first, and then discuss the ownership issue later."

"Come on, someone like him? I could beat him to a pulp by myself!"

"Lin Mo's most important talent is his hidden ability. Whoever gets him is essentially getting an unlimited money-printing machine..."

The clamor of discussion came from all directions.

There were more than 300 people, like drinking tea in a teahouse.

Lin Yao froze completely upon hearing these words.

Only Li Yueyue noticed a detail.

A masked man sat atop a solitary rock pillar at the highest point of the cliff face.

The man was dressed in a gray robe and had an iron half-mask covering his face; he had not joined any small group.

He exuded an extremely subtle aura.

It's not magic.

Instead, it was a tremor similar to the resonance of laws that sent chills down Li Yueyue's spine.

She had seen similar descriptions in the ancient books of the Nine Netherworld Temple.

That's an aura that only those who have come into contact with the fundamental laws of the fragmented space possess.

"Who is that person..." Li Yueyue murmured to herself.

But she didn't have time to think about it, because the sounds from the rock face continued.

"Speaking of which, Su Xiaoli's boyfriend is indeed good-looking, but unfortunately, he's a good-for-nothing."

"Waste doesn't matter, the main thing is that it's valuable."

A mage with short hair jumped off the cliff and landed thirty meters away from Lin Mo.

He glanced at the alien prince and Li Yueyue behind Lin Mo.

"What should we do with these two?"

Someone on the rock face answered:

"The Tali tribe already has bounties; the Nine Nether Temple's bounties are kept to exchange for other things."

"What are you barking about? That's our Saintess candidate for the third seat!"

"If you want to die, I'll send you home right now!"

The bald, burly man from the Nine Netherworld Temple cursed loudly.

"Alright, alright, your saintess is yours."

The man took a step back and said.

The bald, burly man turned to face Lin Mo and said smugly:

"Didn't expect that, did you?"

"What are your thoughts on this situation?"

"Aren't you feeling hopeless? Our Holy Maiden is not someone someone like you can insult."

Then came a burst of laughter and discussion.

"You know what, this kid really has guts, daring to bring people here."

The short-haired monk dusted off his hands, speaking in a relaxed tone as if they were discussing what to have for lunch.

"Come on, who wants to go first? Stop dawdling, the safe zone is shrinking again in twenty minutes."

More than three hundred pairs of eyes finally turned to the bottom of the cage.

I looked at the blank-slate warrior whose face always wore a faint smile.

Lin Mo slowly walked forward.

He looked around.

Three hundred and twenty-seven fully armed prodigies, each and every one of them.

Lin Mo smiled.

Have you ever thought about this question?

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried exceptionally clearly within the enclosed rock cage.

All eyes turned to them.

"You went to all this trouble to lock me up inside."

"But you yourselves can't get out either."
