    Abyss easily pressed Duan Li down so much that he could not lift his head up. Without the stalker impeding Abyss, Duan Li who came out alone could be easily dealt with. But if this feunched his ultimate skills, it would not be good. In fact, even Abyss himself couldn’t move as fast as Duan Li.


    Such moving speed that could almost catch up with the speed of light in a brief moment might even be faster than teleportation.


    Although Abyss had been fighting Duan Li, he asionally paid attention to Luo Jian and Feng YuLan’s situation. Both Luo Jian and Ah Lan merely watched the battle from afar because they were not particrly strong inbat, and if they headed up to battle, it would make the current situation worse.


    Luo Jian seemed to notice that the stalker had been staring at the child on the battlefield. He was a little nervous, so he wanted to traverse through half of the battlefield to reach the stalker’s side, but Ah Lan over here reached out to stop Luo Jian.


    Ah Lan was trying to say something to Luo Jian. With a mere look at Ah Lan’s expression, Abyss understood what Ah Lan was doing. He wanted to tell Luo Jian the existence of Abyss. However, this move was doomed to fail. Abyss had already changed his umbre into another weapon—a dagger. In a sh, he threw the knife like a throwing knife. The dagger charged towards Ah Lan’s forehead.


    He just wanted to stop Ah Lan’s mouth, of course. He did not want to hurt Feng YuLan. A second before the dagger hurt Feng YuLan, he suddenly appeared next to the de and reached out to catch the flying dagger in the air. Then, Abyss grandiosely turned around and immediately walked behind Ah Lan, lying on his shoulder directly.


    Everything happened in just a matter of seconds, but in a blink of an eye, Abyss had easily controlled Feng YuLan, held him hostage, and began to openly threaten Duan Li andpany.


    After that, the next thing he needed to do was very simple.


    If Abyss wanted to open the exit, he must first open the underground passage under the tree so that Clown, who had been guarding there, would be the first to enter the underground passage and the first to reach the exit.


    But the one who opened the door must be Luo Jian because the person who opened the door could only be a NPC or a yer with the identity of the NPC. Now it seemed that the god had passed away. Although he would reviveter, it was also troublesome to look for him, so he simply took advantage of Luo Jian in front of him.


    After all, Luo Jian currently possessed the ghost’s identity.


    So Abyss talked nonsense in in sight and said in a panic that he wanted to make a bet with Luo Jian. He gave both jade pendants to Luo Jian and asked Luo Jian to open the door. The two teams set out at the same time to see who arrived at the end first. He also said that as long as the other party won, he would return Feng YuLan, the hostage.


    Due to the fact that Ah Lan was still in the enemy’s hands, Luo Jian stared at the child in front of him vigntly. Even if the other party was very thin and looked like he would copse under one blow, Luo Jian did not dare to be careless. He also thought about the possibility of winning the bet and began to bargain with Abyss.


    Now, Luo Jian did not know that he and Abyss were going through a very mystifying duel.


    It was a magical urrence. As the past and the future collided, they stood on a stage that no one could reach.


    It was a pity that Luo Jian did not know what was happening at this very moment, and the current Abyss did not care.


    In this special secret chamber that hosted a team battle, Burial Grounds, if any one of the two teams found the exit first and stepped out of this chamber, that team was the final victor.


    After Abyss deceived Luo Jian and lured him to use the jade pendant to open the door of the secret chamber, the huge tree in the god’s tomb vault shook like an animal rising up and began tomand its tree roots to stand like a human being. It was so huge that it almost prated the entire Burial Grounds tomb, and the entire tomb’s ground shook and the sky quaked.


    Because of Abyss deceiving them, Luo Jian andpany thought that climbing up to the top of the tree might lead to the exit. Even the trio in Abyss’ temporary team thought that what Abyss said was true. In fact, to get out, one had to climb into the vacuum inside the tree trunk, entering through the cave under the tree root to find the exit.


    Abyss had Clown guard the exit earlier, but unexpectedly, Specter who was in Luo Jian’s team was left behind earlier on. When he was keeping up with his team, moving at full speed, he identally found Clown and followed Clown all the way to the exit.


    Clown was also very depressed. In fact, he had been squatting under the roots of the big tree to hide himself. He was ready to jump in immediately after the entrance under the tree roots surfaced. As a result, the tree moved so suddenly that Clown could not respond. Then he was swept by the lively roots and fell into the hole he had dug himself. Then afterwards, a handful of yellow soil buried the entirety of Clown, who was counted as a ‘corpse’ now.


    Clown: “...”


    What the fuck! This is simply a self-inflicted injury! He feels like dying! Hello, my body is stiff! I can’t move, hello! Hello, I want to get out of here!


    Fortunately, Clown was still a bit lucky. These moving roots trembled and shook Clown out of the pit again. Clown’s face was very stiff as he climbed out with much difficulty. But as soon as he climbed out, unexpectedly, he met Specter.


    As soon as Clown saw a person from the enemy team, his entire body became stiff, and he began thinking of what Abyss had said before.


    Should he just wipe him out? It seemed like he couldn’t kill him, could he? But his silly figure had been seen by someone! He was so stupid that he should be sent home for falling into a pit that he had dug!


    F*ck, his silliness was still witnessed by others, AHHHHH!


    In fact, Clown misunderstood it. After all, Specter only saw Clown climbing out of the pit. In addition, there were dead bodies everywhere in this tomb. It was normal for something to climb out from pits.


    But Clown did not understand. He was still immersed in his ‘shame.’ He began to disguise himself unconsciously. In fact, as a doctor, Clown was a very kind guy. Although he saw much life and death on the operating table, he still felt that his heart got heavier when he had to kill someone.


    In reality, he was the one who saved the lives of so many patients. Why must he take the lives of others in these cruel spaces?


    It was because he was a doctor who helped the dying and healed the wounded that Clown could understand the weight of life. Human beings were so fragile, yet so staunch. All everyone thought of doing was struggling to survive. No one could deprive them of this belief, no matter how cruel it was.


    The belief that you wanted to survive. And that was something worthy of respect.


    So every time he entered the secret chamber, when he was faced with a situation where he had to personally deal with the enemy, he would flip his personality around, y various roles, turn himself into another person or other creatures, in an attempt to escape from this sense of guilt. Unfortunately, he had never let go of his sense of guilt, but his acting skills had reached their peak.


    As a matter of fact, he acted like a robot in front of Specter. In fact, Abyss told him previously to disguise himself in front of all kinds of people in various secret chambers. His strength should not progress too fast. In short, he should not let the secret chamber’s will seize his little tail.


    Clown would also follow Abyss’smands as he acted, and he and Specter had a carefree and uninhibited fight.


    Specter was quite capable, but his strength was reflected in his long-range attacks. In closebat, he could only allow others to ughter him. Coupled with Clown’s cheat-like transformation skills, it was really easy topletely obliterate Specter.


    However, half-way through the battle, seeing that Clown was about to wipe out Specter, this fool, student Abyss, popped out to hinder Clown again.


    Abyss knew at a nce that Clown had started role-ying again. He took a deep breath and let him do as he liked. However, he repeatedly told Clown not to hurt Specter and asked him to quickly run and head for the exit.


    Willful kid!


    Clown roared in his heart, but in the blink of an eye, he had turned around and jumped into the hole under the roots of the trees. Then, while walking through the tree’s hollow, he wanted to return to request a series of rewards from student Abyss, such as allowing him to pinch his little ws or something simr......


    Oh! Little ws!


    Clown covered his cheeks and swayed.


    However, the swaying Clown did not expect that he would be beaten beyond recognition by Specter. And he still had to endure the pain. He was constantly melted down by his strange bullet, and he had to use his skills to regenerate himself.


    And he still had to reach the exit faster than Specter!


    His current predicament couldn’t be worse! Clown howled in his heart. He did not want to hear what Abyss had to say. Before he exited, if he did not send a knife to Specter, he would be sorry to himself!


    When Clown stepped out of the tomb tunnels in Burial Grounds, the secret chamber decided that Abyss’ side had won, and all the members of the defeated team would be sent out at the same time. They would wake up in a punishment chamber, and it would be hard for them to escape that chamber.


    Abyss no longer cared about the remaining people in the secret chamber. Afterwards, he followed Clown’s footsteps all the way to the exit. However, when he reached the exit, he saw a pool of blood on the ground. He lowered his head and gazed in silence. After that, he lifted his leg and walked out, sighing.


    This time, he did not know what kind of oue they would face.


    If I do not do this in Burial Grounds but let the team of Luo Jian andpany win, will the oue be different? Maybe, because in this way—maybe I would not exist now because I changed history, I changed my own past. After the past changes, the present me will not exist.


    After such a change, Luo Jian andpany might be cheated by the secret chamber’s will again during their next secret chamber escape. Then, Luo Jian might be another person. He might be a good or bad person, be alive or dead, but he would never be the current Abyss.


    One thing Abyss was certain of was that he would no longer have the opportunity to destroy or conquer the secret chamber, and that was a chance that could be obtained once in a blue moon.


    Abyss pinpointed Ah Lan’s location as soon as he left Burial Grounds. Maybe the time he pinpointed was a bit messed up, but he had to head there. He took a deep breath and went to Clown’s side first, giving Clown some props that would allow him to leap over space-time.


    This thing was made using a weapon’s skill, personally crafted by him. It had been tested many times, and he was finally able to craft this final product.


    In fact, the ear studs that Abyss put on Ah Lan were also one of these props. They were used to locate the spatial coordinates and simrly open a spatial door for him.


    Now, he was going to that train to find his team members.
