The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

Within the projected image.

Ye Chen's face had turned ashen.

"My disciple!"

"Let's go!"

"good!"

Ye Chen and Jiang Liyu simultaneously shattered the ground beneath their feet.

"boom--"

A sonic boom suddenly erupted.

Two streaks of light, one black and one white, pierced through the whistling rocks and headed straight for the center of the valley.

Si Chen turned around and glanced back.

Seeing the two rapidly closing the distance, his eyes twitched violently.

"Damn it!"

If they chased me for a few more seconds, I really wouldn't be able to continue filming my final scene!

No.

We absolutely cannot let them stop us!

Si Chen suddenly turned around, lowered his brows, and forced out an expression that suggested he was blinded by greed for the first kill.

"Don't come any closer!"

"The reward for this first boss kill is mine!"

"Don't think I don't know, the Corpse Tiger leader was most vulnerable during those two minutes when it broke through to the second stage!"

"..."

Ye Chen suddenly stopped and raised his hand to stop Jiang Liyu beside him.

Jiang Liyu's shoes scraped against the gravel, leaving two shallow marks on the ground.

"Master?"

"What's wrong?"

Ye Chen did not answer immediately.

Hong Ge just charged into the beast horde to his death, and John the Monster and the others did not stop him; they even calmly said goodbye to him.

He actually saw it too.

It was definitely not because I was constantly concerned about my disciple's safety that I noticed it.

Si Chen clearly sensed the BOSS's abnormality, yet he still desperately tried to rush upwards.

The moment I tried to stop him, he ran even faster.

They are not fighting.

They care more about a certain outcome that must happen.

"wrong……"

Ye Chen stared at Si Chen's back, his fingers tightening around the knife.

"It's not just the boss who has problems."

"Something's not right with these players either."

Seeing that the two had finally stopped, Si Chen's tense back immediately relaxed.

Finally, they've stopped chasing after it!

He turned around, stomped heavily on the ground, and leaped into the air.

The dark gold halberd was raised high above his head.

Golden light rapidly converged upwards along the shaft of the halberd, causing the blade to emit a blinding gleam.

Si Chen exerted force with both hands and slashed down hard at the white corpse tiger's neck bone!

"Die!"

The pale bone flames on the Corpse Tiger leader's body suddenly contracted inward.

The next moment, its spine suddenly straightened.

With a piercing sound of bones grinding together, its two forelimbs rapidly lengthened, its hind limbs crushed the ground, and its massive body stood upright completely.

In the blink of an eye, a white corpse tiger several meters tall had transformed into a tiger-skull human over ten meters tall.

Si Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.

This is not the second form from the beta version at all!

Of course, the shock was feigned.

If he doesn't pretend, what will Elder Ye be looking at?

The rooster was in mid-air, and it was too late to stop its momentum.

The Corpse Tiger leader raised its giant hand, wreathed in bone flames, and slammed it down on him.

"boom--"

The dark gold halberd flew out of his hand.

Si Chen's chest armor dented instantly, the sound of bones shattering exploded from his body, and he flew dozens of meters away, crashing heavily into the ground in front of Ye Chen.

The soil turned up in all directions.

When the smoke and dust cleared, only a mangled, bloody figure remained at the bottom of the pit.

"Master!"

Jiang Liyu looked up at the fully upright Corpse Tiger leader, then looked down at Si Chen in the pit.

"That monster was definitely not right!"

Si Chen's health bar was reduced to a thin red line.

The damage numbers kept popping up, and the health bar continued to drop.

Jiang Liyu held the [Frost Annihilation] and tentatively spoke.

"Master...should we save him?"

Ye Chen glanced at Si Chen's sunken chest and then at the still-decreasing health bar.

"It's beyond saving."

"His injuries are still worsening. Even if we give him high-level medicine like water, it will only keep him going for a few more seconds."

Ye Chen raised his twin swords again and focused his attention on the Corpse Tiger leader.

"Don't waste the potion, keep a close eye on the BOSS."

"Too……"

Hearing the hushed conversation between the master and apprentice, Si Chen, lying in the pit, was completely dumbfounded.

No.

Why is the development different from the historical records?

With his life force dwindling, Si Chen hurriedly opened a large chat group with 9997 members, his consciousness frantically scrolling across the screen.

[Si Chen]: "That's not right!"

"What happened?"

"According to the plot, at this point, Elder Ye shouldn't have rushed up to me and tried to force-feed me the reagent, but I refused."

"Finally, on my deathbed, I entrusted Elder Ye with this request: Defeat the BOSS and lead everyone out of this deadly game, okay?"

"Shouldn't my role be to leave a deep impression on Elder Ye and become his spiritual guide?"

After the message was sent, the group chat was silent for half a second.

On the other side of the battlefield, John the Stranger suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned sharply to look at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen remained standing in the same spot.

But his shadow was lifting off the ground.

One after another, dark silhouettes rose from the shadows, gathering densely behind Ye Chen.

The black mist spread upwards along his boots and quickly wrapped around the hem of his clothes.

The group chat exploded with messages the next moment.

[John the Strange]: "Holy crap! Holy crap! Look! Old Master Ye... he's covered in black aura!"

"What are those shadows?!"

"And... damn it... I got a notification that I'll be disconnected within ten seconds!"

【Crossing the Galaxy】: "Me too! Damn, I haven't even used my taunt yet!"

"Damn! Could it be that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor has made a move?!"

at the same time.

"Master?!"

Jiang Liyu suddenly supported Ye Chen.

For the first time, an uncontrollable panic appeared on that usually calm and composed face.

The shadows that were originally close to the ground beneath Ye Chen's feet had all stood up.

One.

Ten paths.

Hundreds of dishes.

They had no facial features or voices, but they rushed towards Ye Chen, burrowing into his body through his back, shoulders, and limbs.

"Well--"

A sharp pain suddenly shot through my entire body.

Ye Chen's back tensed instantly, and he let out a suppressed roar of pain.

He could sense that another, immeasurably vast consciousness was pouring into his body along those shadows.

Memory, strength, and emotions are all crammed into this fragile body.

His consciousness was being forcibly pushed to its deepest depths.

"Get out of my way!"

"Don't enter my master's body!!!"

Jiang Liyu's eyes turned cold. She raised [Frost Annihilation] and kept slashing at the shadows.

The icy blue sword light continuously tore through the darkness.

But each time the sword fell, it passed right through the shadow, leaving no trace.

The shadows didn't even pause.

They are still burrowing into Ye Chen's body.

"Click-clack—"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound.

His fingers lost their strength, and the two swords slipped from his hands one after the other, crashing into the rubble beside him.

Immediately afterwards, he knelt heavily on both knees.

"Master!"

Jiang Liyu could no longer hide the panic on her face.

She squatted down, reached out and hugged Ye Chen's convulsing body, holding him tightly in her arms.

Tears quickly streamed down her face.

"Master, please don't let anything happen to you!"

"You haven't taught me how to become stronger yet!"

"I haven't taught you how to fall in love with me yet!"

"I...I only have you left..."

"Please don't leave me..."

The other side of the valley.

The Corpse Tiger leader raised his head.

It seized the opportunity when the two were unable to move, lowered its legs, and the pale bone flames beneath its feet suddenly surged.

"roar--"

The leader of the Corpse Tigers suddenly leaped up.

The ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open.

Its upright body, several meters tall, shot into the air, its bony hands clenched into fists, raised behind its head, and crashed down to the ground with a large amount of pale bone flame.

Its massive body blocked the light from above the valley.

The shadows quickly enveloped Ye Chen and Jiang Liyu.

The next moment, the giant bone fist crashed down!

"Little Jiang..."

Ye Chen struggled to lift his head, wanting her to leave.

But his throat was blocked by the ever-flowing shadows, and he could only make intermittent breathy sounds.

Jiang Liyu raised her head with tears in her eyes.

The giant white bone fist was rapidly enlarging in the field of vision.

This punch sealed off all escape routes in the vicinity.

We can't leave.

Jiang Liyu tightened her arms, holding Ye Chen even closer.

She lowered her head, pressed it against Ye Chen's neck, and greedily inhaled his scent.

"Master..."

Her voice was so soft it was almost shattered by the gale.

"You saved my disciple's life."

"I didn't expect to have to pay it back so soon."

Jiang Liyu tightened her arms, her fingertips digging into the fabric of Ye Chen's back.

"I really want to stay by your side a little longer."

"Forgive me, disciple, for I will no longer be able to serve you by your side."
