"Damn it, why are there so many demons?!"
A trial participant, pale-faced and in disbelief, watched as the demons surged like a tidal wave, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Fear!
Cold!
An almost endless terror instantly occupied his heart.
The reason for his panic was that his safe house was not far from the city!
Just under twenty kiloters in a straight line.
At this distance, he could clearly see the vast city in the distance, sward with countless demons.
Like a flash flood, dense and overwhelming, covering the sky and earth.
The deafening roars spread through the darkness, making the entire space tremble.
"How could this happen!"
"It's over! I'm done!!!"
"With my strength as a second-level trialist, normally, surviving wouldn't be too difficult. Why is this happening, why are there suddenly so many demons!"
He was a second-level trialist, one of the few in the Dark Lands.
He had thought that with his strong abilities, even being close to the city wouldn't be too dangerous.
He even hoped to use the geographical advantage to hunt more demons and rapidly enhance his strength.
However, the situation developed far beyond his expectations.
He had anticipated that the ergence of demons would ravage the Dark Lands.
Being so close to the city, he knew it would be extrely dangerous.
But he never expected that so many demons would appear at the sa ti.
More importantly, among them were many terrifying beings that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Oh heavens, oh earth, please protect !"
"Don't see , please don't co looking for trouble with !"
The second-level trialist prayed silently in his heart.
If only he had enough ti.
"I don't need much, just half a day!"
In that ti, he could refine the safe house, significantly enhancing its defenses.
Then, he might have a chance to survive.
Now, what he lacked was ti!
...
However, his wish ultimately could not be fulfilled.
Soon, the first batch of demons, freed from the city's constraints, began to spread in all directions in the Dark Lands.
Outside the trialist's safe house.
More than ten demons running wild in the Dark Lands appeared.
"Damn! So many demons?!"
The trialist couldn't hold back and cursed loudly.
So many demons appeared all at once, could the safe house withstand them?
Moreover, the first batch of demons emanated a terrifying aura.
They were many tis stronger than any he had encountered before.
Most were probably second-level demons!
There might even be higher-level demons...
In front of these demons, the trialist trembled in fear.
"I'm just a second-level trialist, struggling against one second-level demon, let alone a dozen..."
The safe house definitely couldn't withstand them!
"I hate this! Give ti to refine the safe house, I could definitely fend off the demons' attacks and smoothly advance to a third-level trialist, then I would have nothing to fear!"
"But..."
It was too late!
Soon, the demons roared furiously, as if they had discovered sothing delicious, and crazily pounced on the safe house.
In their eyes, the safe house was unique, emitting an alluring scent that drove them wild, making them want to tear it apart and devour it completely!
Amidst the energy surges, there were giant claws as big as a house, rusty but terrifying hamrs, and rotten, decaying palms...
They struck the safe house like raindrops.
Amidst the horrific roars and the cries of despair.
The yet-to-be-refined safe house couldn't hold on and collapsed with a thunderous crash.
The trialist was quickly torn apart by the demons and devoured!
"A second-level trialist, even with a safe house, was killed like this.
The sa thing was happening elsewhere in the Dark Lands, countless tis.
Now, at the onset of the demon outbreak, many trialists didn't have ti to refine their safe houses to boost their defenses, leading to perilous situations.
...
"So many demons? And not just ordinary ones, but many with terrifying strength!"
More than a hundred kiloters away, Waldo's face showed a slight change.
Despite the distance, he could faintly hear the countless demons roaring in the darkness.
Among them, there were even many terrifying roars that traveled extrely far, over a hundred kiloters.
Almost half of the trialists in the Dark Lands could hear them.
Even Waldo looked solemn.
This indicated that the strength of these demons was extrely fearso.
They could be fourth-level demons, or even higher...
If one of them wanted to kill a trialist, no one could survive.
Even Waldo couldn't guarantee his own safety.
"Demons erge, and living beings suffer!"
"Perhaps, this is the true Dark Lands!" Waldo thought to himself.
At the sa ti, he also had to be wary of the strange energy in the Dark Lands.
This energy was too bizarre, constantly eroding his power.
It even nurtured the ergence of countless demons.
This clearly showed the strangeness and terror of this energy.
...
Afterward, Waldo glanced at the chat channel and found that many people were discussing the demon issue.
Many had even taken photos or videos of so of the demons.
All these demons were powerful and oddly shaped.
"The Dark Lands are said to have more than ten cities, the largest of which is the city at the center of the Dark Lands. The number of demons there is not just in the millions but almost countless."
"Now that part of the city's restrictions has been lifted, those demons are rushing to escape, possibly in the millions!"
"Given the speed of the demons, I fear it won't take a day for them to ravage the entire Dark Lands, leaving no trialist unscathed!" Waldo thought to himself.
...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two days, many safe houses near the city were basically breached by the demons.
The survivors inside also t their demise.
The final death toll reached as high as five hundred.
This was a grievous number.
Almost one-sixth of the trialists perished unnaturally in these two days.
This included so powerful second-level trialists.
The reason for such heavy casualties mainly stemd from two factors.
On one hand, the demons were simply too frenzied and powerful.
On the other hand, many people didn't have ti to refine their safe houses and fully activate their defensive capabilities.
Fortunately, as ti went on, more and more trialists completed their refinent.
"The difference between a refined safe house and a non-refined one is still significant."
"I'm just a first-level trialist, and before this, my safe house could at best withstand the attack of one or two second-level demons. But now, I feel like it can resist the attacks of more than five demons!"
A trialist couldn't help but express his feelings.
