240: Chapter 240 Celestial Dragons? Kill them all without hesitation!

World Center, Block 777.

The total area of this region was about three hundred thousand square kilometers.

It was originally a vibrant oasis, but now it was filled with a heavy stench of blood and scorched earth.

The southwest corner of Block 777.

A narrow and barren stretch of ruins.

More than twenty ragged figures were fleeing desperately in the night.

They were not survival players, but the indigenous inhabitants of this labyrinth sector—the Elf Tribe.

Pointed ears, snow-white skin, and slender builds.

These once-noble Elf Tribe now had their faces covered in dirt and blood.

In the group, there were only two elderly elven elders.

The rest were all underage elven children.

"Great Elder, where on earth are we fleeing to?"

A wounded little elven girl tightly clutched the elder's hem, her large eyes filled with confusion and fear.

"Daddy, Mommy... will they come back to find us?"

Hearing this, several young elven children nearby could no longer hold it in and began to sob softly.

A dark cloud of grief and despair tightly enveloped these homeless children.

Once, this vast Block 777 was the home where they had lived and multiplied for generations.

Until those "Squid People" players wearing small black round caps descended.

These outsiders claimed that this place was the "Promised Land" granted to them by God.

Subsequently, a horrific massacre befell them.

Countless Elf Tribe had their families torn apart and their territories forcibly seized.

What was even more terrifying was that...

...the Squid People players discovered that the blood of the elven race contained massive life energy, which could rapidly heal wounds!

Thus, the surviving Elf Tribe were captured on a massive scale.

They were locked in pitch-black basements, kept like livestock.

Forced to have their blood drawn daily, they became a continuous supply of "mobile blood bags" for the Squid People players.

As for the female Elf Tribe, they suffered an even worse fate...

What awaited them was endless abuse and torture...

...

"Don't be afraid, children, run forward!"

"As long as you survive, your fathers and mothers will definitely come to find you!"

The elder's voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with deep grief as he desperately pushed the children forward.

"I'm not afraid!"

In the group, a slightly older elven youth fiercely wiped away his tears.

He clenched his fists, his thin body trembling uncontrollably from fear.

But in his eyes, there was a deep-seated, unforgettable hatred.

"Great Elder, I have memorized this path!"

"One day, when I grow up, I will definitely come back!"

"I will kill all those black-hatted demons! I will use their blood to pay tribute to our deceased clansmen!"

The youth's words were childish, yet they carried a desperate determination.

However, just as he finished speaking...

...on the pitch-black wilderness behind them, the blinding beam of a searchlight suddenly swept over.

Immediately after, the roar of engines followed closely behind.

Ten heavily armed off-road vehicles painted with Hexagram logos roared over.

Kicking up a cloud of dust, they instantly surrounded the young and old Elf Tribe.

There was nowhere to run.

The car doors swung open.

A group of Squid People players wearing small round caps jumped out of the vehicles, holding high-tier automatic rifles, their faces full of mockery.

"Run! Why aren't you running anymore?"

The leading Squid-man Captain walked forward with a smirk, his eyes reflecting a high-and-mighty cruelty.

"Lowly natives!"

"To be able to nourish us with your blood is your greatest honor!"

"Since you refuse to do this the easy way, we'll break your legs and take you back to be pure blood-producing machines!"

The Squid-man Captain raised his automatic rifle and racked the bolt.

The two elven elders, filled with grief and indignation, desperately shielded the children behind them.

They closed their eyes, waiting for death to arrive.

Boom—!

At this critical juncture...

...a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the sky!

A massive blood-colored meteor tore through the black mist above the labyrinth, descending from the sky with a terrifying whistle of wind!

The earth trembled.

A violent shockwave swept across the surroundings.

The massive recoil flipped several heavily armed off-road vehicles onto the ground.

Dust and smoke soared into the sky.

Once the dust had slightly cleared...

...a colossal steel beast, akin to an ancient primordial monster, stood impressively in the center of the battlefield!

The red wolf heavy tank!

The dazed Squid People players scrambled to their feet, staring at the heavily armored tank before them, which exuded a terrifying pressure.

Seeing the striking red paint and the Sector C logo, they were first stunned, but then quickly realized.

"A Sector C player!"

"The ones from the Dragon Kingdom who were randomly scattered, as announced by the system-wide notification just now!"

The Squid-man Captain patted the dust off his body.

The fear in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by the arrogance and contempt of a Celestial Dragon.

This was their territory!

He strode forward, raised his gun, and aimed it at the heavy armor of the Red Wolf Tank.

"A Dragon Kingdom player?"

"Consider it your bad luck to be randomly teleported to our territory!"

The captain held his chin high, his tone arrogant to the extreme.

"Listen up carefully!"

"This is Block 777! The Promised Land granted to us by God!"

"Sacred and inviolable!"

"And our race is the only Celestial Dragons of this region!"

The Squid-man Captain threatened with a fierce glare.

"Now, you have illegally trespassed into our territory!"

"If you know what's good for you, get out of your iron shell, leave the vehicle and all your resources behind!"

"And then get out of our sight immediately!"

"Otherwise, I'll make sure there's nothing left of you today!"

Creak.

Accompanying the Squid-man Captain's clamor, the heavy top hatch was slowly pushed open.

Xia Li's stunning figure emerged from inside the tank.

She wore a tight-fitting combat suit that perfectly outlined her flawless curves.

As the night wind blew past, her long hair fluttered, making her look incredibly cold and elegant.

The originally arrogant Squid-man Captain's voice came to an abrupt halt.

He stared intently at Xia Li, his eyes widening in fixation.

Greedy and lustful eyes swept over her body without restraint.

"Yo, I didn't expect such a top-tier beauty to be hidden inside this big iron shell!"

The Squid-man Captain swallowed hard, rubbed his hands together, and grinned lewdly.

"Beautiful, this World Center is full of dangers!"

"As long as you come down obediently and please us..."

"I guarantee that in this Promised Land, no one will dare touch a single hair on your head..."

Swish—!

Before the captain could finish his sentence...

...a cold, silver flash of light swept through the air.

It was so fast that the naked eye couldn't track it at all.

The Squid-man Captain only felt a slight chill on his neck, and then, the entire world began to spin wildly.

As his vision tumbled...

...he saw his terrified companions around him, and he saw the dilapidated ruins.

Finally, he saw a body standing in place, holding a rifle.

Eh?

How strange.

Why does this body look so familiar?

Wait, why is there no head on the body?

Thud!

A head wearing a small black round cap slammed heavily onto the sandy ground.

The headless corpse stood stiffly for two seconds before falling straight to its knees with a thud in front of the Red Wolf Tank.

Blood sprayed wildly.

The entire place instantly fell into a dead silence.

The surrounding Squid People players were scared out of their wits by this instant-kill. Just as they were about to raise their guns and shoot...

...a lazy yet icy male voice slowly drifted out from the crimson tank.

"Who gave you the courage to stare at her?"
