256: Chapter 256 A Beast Tide of Two Billion!

As soon as Li Fan said this,

Peng Song and the others were all instantly stunned.

Split up and act separately?

Was Li Fan planning to seize that shelter alone?!

"Huh?"

"Brother Fan, what are you saying?"

"Brother Li, isn't the risk a bit too great if we do that?"

All four of them wore expressions full of confusion.

Clearly, they were extremely bewildered by Li Fan's plan.

Their current situation could be described as extremely favorable.

Along the way, not only had their luck been phenomenal, but they had also fully preserved their strength.

They weren't really afraid of encountering any other team.

The probability of them making it to the end wasn't a sure thing, but it could be said to be very high.

And then Li Fan suddenly proposed splitting up.

Wasn't that just unnecessarily increasing the difficulty for himself and them?

Moreover, they had just witnessed the second strange rampage of the beast tide.

Although it hadn't happened to them this time, there was no guarantee it wouldn't happen to them next time.

Facing such a potential danger, sticking together was obviously the wisest choice.

As for the confusion of the four,

Li Fan responded with a confident and straightforward smile.

"It's fine, don't worry about me. Let's meet in the top five!"

With that,

Li Fan didn't even wait for the four to respond before leaping out and stepping beyond the Golden Shelter.

"Brother Fan!"

"Brother Li Fan!"

Watching Li Fan's departing figure, the four couldn't help but change expressions. It was already too late to stop him.

Meanwhile,

the Sparring Partners in the academy's live stream, the veteran Students, and the already eliminated Students watching from the spaceship outside the planet saw this scene.

Every single one of them widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

"What is he doing?!"

"Am I seeing things? Li Fan ran out?!"

"What's going on? What's this guy coming out for? The beast tide is raging outside now. Isn't running out just asking for death?"

"Giving up on himself?"

"I don't quite understand. Shouldn't the person with the unfair advantage just stay inside the shelter and coast to victory? Why run out? What's the real plan here?"

"No, is he crazy? Going out now is just a free elimination, isn't it?"

"Wait, look. The beast tide seems to be heading in the opposite direction from him. Based on his movement, he probably wants to go seize another shelter!"

"So that's it. He wants to go fight for another Golden Shelter. That makes sense. But he's going alone? The ones over there are Duan Xuan and Fang Tong!"

"Alright, feels like the unfair advantage is about to end. Daring to go alone against Duan Xuan's team, he's definitely getting eliminated!"

"Hahahaha, the people who planned the unfair advantage probably never imagined Li Fan would go and deliver himself, right?"

Regarding Li Fan's extremely risky maneuver,

everyone clearly didn't understand it at first.

But looking at Li Fan's direction of movement, they quickly guessed his intention.

He wanted to solo an entire team!

First of all, the motive for making a move was very reasonable.

They were already in the final circle. Whenever two teams met, they had to fight, striving to eliminate the other to improve their own ranking.

However, Li Fan choosing to go solo was very unreasonable. It could be said he was being overly confident!

Wouldn't the five team members attacking together be much more reliable than going alone?

And of all teams to run into,

it just had to be Duan Xuan's team, one of the favorites to win!

In their view, Li Fan's move was basically no different from feeding himself to the enemy!

But for them, this scene was exactly what they wanted to see.

A Contestant with an unfair advantage like Li Fan should have been eliminated long ago!

"You guys hold down the fort. I'm going to help Brother Fan. The risk is just too great for him to go alone."

Back at the shelter, Peng Song, looking at Li Fan's retreating figure, had a serious expression. He drew his longsword, ready to follow Li Fan's steps and fight alongside him.

Although he didn't know the reason for Li Fan's actions,

he really couldn't rest easy with Li Fan going alone.

"I'll go too!"

Duan Linger beside him also spoke up sternly.

Immediately after, Luo Ling and Duan Ping also had no intention of just watching.

"We're a team. If we're going, we go together!"

"Right, if we go, we go together."

Seeing that the other three shared the same idea, Peng Song wasted no words. He nodded and prepared to set off.

However,

just as Peng Song and the others were about to depart,

a deafening roar from the distance made their expressions change drastically.

Looking into the distance,

a vast, pitch-black, terrifying beast tide was surging forth like a colossal tsunami, its speed reaching an extreme!

They were certain.

This beast tide was definitely the largest wave they had seen so far!

Judging by its scale, it was at least on the level of two billion!

"Not good!"

Peng Song's expression changed dramatically. He rushed out of the shelter, shouting towards the distant Li Fan.

"Brother Fan! Come back quickly!"

The other three weren't idle either. They also flew out of the shelter, wanting to call Li Fan back.

The speed of the beast tide was simply too fast.

Li Fan would likely be swallowed by the surging beast tide before he could even capture the other Golden Shelter.

However, their shouts were already drowned out by the terrifying roars of the beast tide. Li Fan couldn't hear them at all.

The only thing Li Fan could hear was the beast roars behind him.

But for Li Fan,

this was nothing short of heavenly music!!

...

"Big brother, the scale of this beast tide!"

Meanwhile, inside their shelter, Fang Tong also noticed the sky-obscuring beast tide, his expression shifting slightly.

A beast tide of this scale was truly rare.

If it were before, he wouldn't have reacted too much.

But after personally witnessing a beast tide shatter a Golden Shelter, he was genuinely apprehensive.

Duan Xuan beside him was clearly the same, his face full of gravity.

"Be prepared."

In the current situation, if they encountered the same strange phenomenon as the previous beast tide, all they could do was fight desperately, surviving as long as possible within the beast tide!

"Wait, am I seeing things? Big brother, look, is that a person over there?"

At that moment, Fang Tong beside him suddenly spoke with a frown, pointing towards a distant figure.

Duan Xuan focused his gaze and immediately made out the figure.

That was indeed a person!

And that person looked familiar!

"Li Fan?" Duan Xuan frowned, muttering softly.

Hearing that name, Fang Tong was momentarily stunned, then immediately rubbed his eyes and scrutinized the figure. After clearly seeing Li Fan's form, his expression changed drastically.

"It really is him?!"

To be honest, he had almost forgotten the name Li Fan.

In his view, Li Fan should have been eliminated long ago.

Seeing Li Fan again now was an extreme surprise.

"Is this guy planning to come seize our shelter?"

"Isn't that just seeking death?!"

Fang Tong narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of disdain and killing intent flashing across his face.

He absolutely hated Li Fan to the bone.

If not for Li Fan, his reputation wouldn't have become this bad!

He had secretly vowed to take revenge on Li Fan.

But right now was clearly not a good time.

Li Fan was being followed by a terrifying beast tide. It wouldn't be long before he was engulfed and eliminated.

He didn't need to lift a finger.

"His courage is not small, but unfortunately, his luck is too poor."

Duan Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the approaching Li Fan, and spoke slowly.

Li Fan daring to charge out alone to seize a shelter was indeed commendable for its bravery.

But the problem was, Li Fan seemed to have chosen the wrong timing; his luck was just a bit off.

Given the speed of the beast tide behind him,

Li Fan wouldn't even have the chance to engage with them.

And just as Duan Xuan's words fell,

Fang Tong beside him suddenly leaped out of the shelter, shouting towards the approaching Li Fan:

"Li Fan! Come on, let me see if you, this cheap bastard, can even make it to me!"

As he said this, Fang Tong's voice was full of mockery, his face even more filled with derision.

That's right.

Now was indeed not the time for his revenge.

But it was a rare opportunity for mockery!

Since he couldn't get revenge so quickly,

then he'd just disgust Li Fan first!
