1450: Changes at night

"Roar, roar, roar!!!"

As time reached eight o'clock in the evening, under the night sky, brutal roars echoed continuously.

For a moment, the dark land seemed to transform into a monster's paradise.

If one were to look down from the sky, they would see various Nightmare Ghosts, each exuding monstrous evil Qi, appearing as if they had been hit by a berserker spell, becoming agitated.

"Damn it!"

"Are the competition rules so elaborate?"

Wang Chen, still wandering in the dangerous Realm Four area, noticed the surrounding situation and felt somewhat speechless.

All the Nightmare Ghosts he detected within the range of his Mental Energy were in a berserk state, frantically searching for any living presence around them, and many were even fighting among themselves.

Without even thinking, he could guess that this situation was definitely intentionally caused by the competition organizers.

The purpose was to increase the difficulty for the contestants.

"How vicious. Doing this late at night, they're not giving the contestants any rest time at all!"

Thinking to himself, Wang Chen's eyes moved, and his body instantly shifted one meter to the left in mid-air.

At the same time.

Whoosh!

A spear, condensed from evil power, shot out from the darkness below, piercing through the afterimage Wang Chen had left behind, and continued flying into the distance.

"Roar, roar, roar!!!"

Immediately after, amidst cruel and tyrannical roars, more than thirty Nightmare Ghosts gathered from all directions, their crimson eyes fixed on Wang Chen in mid-air, filled with frantic malice.

"This is really troublesome!"

Wang Chen looked at the gathering Nightmare Ghosts below, his expression somewhat helpless.

Just now, in his Mental Energy perception, the closest Nightmare Ghosts to him were several hundred meters away.

Normally, it would be almost impossible for these Nightmare Ghosts to discover his presence from several hundred meters away.

Now...

Not only did Nightmare Ghosts from several hundred meters away come running, but there were even a few among them that had been lurking at the edge of his Mental Energy detection range.

Clearly, the Nightmare Ghosts, influenced by the night, not only became more irritable but also had their sensitivity to abnormal Qi increased.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Just as Wang Chen was thinking, the Nightmare Ghosts gathered below began to stir again.

These Nightmare Ghosts were all at Realm Four and could not fly off the ground, so facing Wang Chen in the air, they all condensed evil power and launched long-range attacks, trying to knock Wang Chen down.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Amidst piercing whooshing sounds, evil power surged like a tide, and extremely solid crossbow bolts, spears, and sharp blades, overwhelmingly rushed towards Wang Chen.

Moreover, these attacks came not only from the front, but also from the left, right, and even the rear, clearly not intending to leave Wang Chen any room to dodge.

"Hiss, have these Nightmare Ghosts mutated?"

"After gathering, they even know how to use attacks to restrict my movement. The Realm Four Nightmare Ghosts I encountered before weren't this smart, and..."

"These guys are in a berserk state right now!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Chen's eyes showed some surprise.

However, the surrounding attacks had already arrived, and he did not continue to ponder further.

Facing the overwhelming energy attacks of various colors, Wang Chen forcefully activated his Divine Power, covering his body with a layer of dazzling Divine Light, which then suddenly spread outwards.

Bang, bang, bang!

The expanding Divine Light swept across like a great wave. Upon first contact, the incoming energy attacks of various colors were all shattered into dust by the terrifying power contained within the Divine Light.

In an instant, the dense attacks launched by dozens of Nightmare Ghosts gathered together were cleared away.

At the same time.

After clearing the surroundings, Wang Chen did not stop for a moment. With a movement of his feet, his body had already shot out like lightning.

In a flash, he transformed into a golden pillar of light, descending from the sky and smashing into the group of Nightmare Ghosts.

Boom!

As if a meteor had fallen to the ground, the ground instantly collapsed into a deep pit. A violent shockwave swept in all directions, directly crushing seventeen or eighteen Early Stage Realm Four Nightmare Ghosts into blood mist, which scattered with the strong winds carried by the shockwave.

As for the stronger Nightmare Ghosts, their bodies were involuntarily thrown backward, wounds appearing on their bodies, and blood constantly spewing from their mouths.

Only six Nightmare Ghosts, whose strength had reached Realm Four Peak, barely managed to stabilize themselves amidst the violent shockwave, but they could do nothing but protect themselves.

Thump, thump, thump!

At this moment, Wang Chen waved his hand to disperse the smoke and dust, stepping out of the deep pit with a calm expression.

"Their strength has increased by nearly fifty percent in the berserk state..."

He scanned the surrounding Nightmare Ghosts with his gaze, having made his calculations.

Normally, when he descended from the sky just now, even if he didn't directly hit the Nightmare Ghosts, the resulting shockwave would have been enough to tear most Realm Four Nightmare Ghosts into pieces.

However, only the Early Stage Realm Four Nightmare Ghosts were killed, while the others were only seriously injured, and the six Realm Four Peak Nightmare Ghosts only suffered minor injuries.

"I wonder if these guys will provide more experience points after their strength increases?"

Wang Chen secretly speculated, continuing to stride forward.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the six Realm Four Peak Nightmare Ghosts noticed Wang Chen emerging from the deep pit and roared furiously, charging forward fearlessly.

The other Nightmare Ghosts around, who had been thrown back by the shockwave, also roared and followed.

Seeing this, Wang Chen showed no fear in his eyes, continuing forward while casually swinging his fists at the charging Nightmare Ghosts.

Even without activating his secret technique at this moment, his strength was not something these Realm Four Nightmare Ghosts could withstand.

Each punch he threw, though seemingly light, contained enough power to smash mountains. The charging Nightmare Ghosts were all exploded.

Soon.

Wang Chen walked through the Nightmare Ghosts as if strolling in a garden, and when he stopped, all the surrounding Nightmare Ghosts lay dead on the spot.

"My strength has increased, but the experience points haven't. It seems I can't squeeze any more benefits out of these guys."

Casually shaking off the blood on his fist, Wang Chen shook his head and quickly moved forward.

Just now, a Nightmare Ghost carrying a pass key entered the detection range of his contestant card.

...

Roar, roar, roar!!!

Under the dim sky, a Realm Four Peak Nightmare Ghost, five meters tall and resembling a small giant, exuding monstrous evil Qi, locked its crimson gaze on two figures fleeing in disarray.

"Human?!"

"Die!"

The Nightmare Ghost roared, chasing at extreme speed, its feet stomping the ground with a drum-like sound, sending many gravel flying into the air.

"Damn it, these Nightmare Ghosts get stronger after going berserk at night! Are they trying to kill us?!"

The two figures targeted by the Nightmare Ghost were two short-haired youths. One of them, while fleeing, cursed with resentment.

"Stop talking nonsense! If we don't shake off this Nightmare Ghost quickly, both of us will be in danger."

His companion beside him heard this and shouted sharply.
