Chapter 692

He quickly spotted Zhao Chi hiding among the ruins, roaring at him, thick liquid dripping from its fangs.

"Damn it…"

Zhao Chi forced another teleportation.

But the system still prompted: 【You are forcibly teleporting back to your territory. This will constitute a violation of the law. Do you wish to continue?】

He hurriedly clicked 【Yes!】

【Teleport Failed】

Damn!

Zhao Chi knew the rebels had jammed the teleportation channel.

This was going to be tricky.

He'd have to fight…

But Zhao Chi was overthinking it.

Those ghouls had indeed spotted Zhao Chi, but their target wasn't Zhao Chi at all.

It was a group of bear riders not far behind him.

"Aaoo—"

The ghouls roared again, charging on all fours toward the bear riders, sending up great splashes of water.

Zhao Chi truly felt he'd narrowly escaped death.

But it wasn't a real escape, because a pack of orcs came howling in.

Dammit…

But those orcs' target wasn't Zhao Chi either—it was a group of black-armored noble soldiers charging in from the side.

Zhao Chi dodged disaster once more.

It seemed he absolutely had to raise his own strength after this.

Those female heroes and female soldiers were indeed formidable once powered up, but the restrictions were too many.

Without them by his side, he felt utterly helpless.

He'd happened to obtain quite a bit of supplies and money this time, so this time he absolutely had to power himself up first!

Zhao Chi ran as he thought.

Suddenly he heard a furious curse.

"You sons of bitches, every last one of you die!"

Zhao Chi quickly stopped in his tracks.

No matter who was making the move now, a battle of this level was not something Zhao Chi could take part in.

Even getting close to them could get him caught in the crossfire and killed.

Looking carefully, the man ahead wore Jin Jia armor—he was the noble Du Li.

Du Li was already gravely wounded.

Even further away, another figure was rapidly approaching.

"Du Li, right? Don't worry, you won't die. We haven't gotten all your good stuff yet—how could we let you die so easily?"

"Die? The ones who'll die are you bastards, lowly trash!"

A phantom image rose from Du Li's body.

But that figure waved a hand, and the phantom instantly dissipated.

"You're already finished. What's the point of struggling? Trash noble."

The temperature plummeted.

The pooled water on the ground instantly turned to ice.

Du Li's legs were firmly frozen within it.

He exerted all his strength, but the ice beneath his feet didn't budge.

Du Li was greatly shocked.

It's just ice—how could he not break free?

"Of course you can't break free. This isn't ordinary ice. If you cooperate a little, your death later will be quicker."

That figure raised a hand.

Vast amounts of ice climbed from Du Li's feet all the way upward.

Within seconds, Du Li was firmly sealed within an ice crystal.

The next moment, that dark figure and Du Li both vanished.

Is it safe ahead now?

No, it's not safe…

A group of fully armed human soldiers came charging in, looking as though they were fleeing for their lives.

He couldn't linger here…

Zhao Chi immediately set off as well.

Fighting was everywhere.

Zhao Chi's target was to the southeast.

But there were many Gao Jie magical beasts all around.

Even mid-tier magical beasts were more than Zhao Chi could handle.

He could only move in stops and starts, constantly dodging.

Before he knew it, Zhao Chi already had run 2 kilometers.

GLOSSARY:

【Zhao Chi, Du Li, Gao Jie, Jin Jia】

But all along the way there were ruins everywhere, corpses everywhere.

Not only the area around the virtual training ground, even ordinary shops and civilian houses had been destroyed.

Those ordinary commoners were either dead or wounded.

Zhao Chi didn't know which side had wounded them.

But reason told him it was probably the Resistance?

After all, the nobles were the ones who had been ambushed, so the nobles' main focus and objective was counterattacking; they wouldn't waste energy attacking civilians.

So… it was the Resistance.

Why?

Isn't the Resistance supposed to represent justice?

Why would they attack civilians?

Not necessarily… maybe it was collateral damage from the fighting?

Quite a few commoners were buried in the rubble, and some were lying by the roadside on their last breath.

Although Zhao Chi had the will to rescue them, he didn't have the ability.

Sigh…

While running, he saw three more high-rank demonic beasts appear ahead.

A Resistance soldier was directing those demonic beasts, also attacking the nobles.

That noble looked a little familiar…

It's Zhao Quan!

Detour!

Zhao Chi decisively turned and ran to the right, but there were demonic beasts on the right too—he couldn't get through.

The surroundings were already completely blocked off, with fierce-fighting demonic beasts everywhere.

He could only retreat and find another way around.

"Where did this rat come from? Oh, you're Zhao Chi!"

A pleasantly surprised voice came over.

Damn it!

Those two words popped up in Zhao Chi's mind.

He had been dodging and hiding all the way, thinking no one had noticed him.

He never expected to be spotted here.

Zhao Chi immediately turned and ran for his life.

But his body suddenly floated up, feeling himself lifted into the air.
