Chapter 813: Demons and Monsters

【Punishment Dungeon Begins!】

【All members of the Silver Wing Team, teleport!】

In the next moment, accompanied by the vast and mechanical voice of the Primordial God, all members of the Silver Wing Team within this squad space instantly vanished.

The Origin Pool roared, a surge of purple righteous power, like a furious dragon wreathed in Great Luo radiance, flashed out from the main world and vanished into a certain chaotic and complex space.

If it were an ordinary copy, merely a teleportation to a virtual paradise, naturally none of this would be necessary.

But the Punishment Dungeon is different!

It requires the actual teleportation of the Reincarnators into the Inner World, only then can information from there be obtained, so this initial investment is unavoidable.

Although the Inner World is easy to enter but hard to leave, former sixth and seventh-grade gods could directly send sealed evil beings and divine abominations into it. Even with the current anomalies, for Wu Ming, teleporting a few people is still quite effortless.

Buzzzz!

The Great Luo Hall trembled, displaying a series of scenes.

It was a vast black chaos, within which a vortex formed, filled with eerie lights, yet also radiating the brilliance of the main world, existing as its shadow, exuding terrifying suction.

Strands of black and strange light were drawn from the main world, continuously vanishing into the vortex, thick as tangible mist.

“The sins and resentment of the main world are absorbed by the Inner World, thus relieving its burden, allowing it to grow and expand rapidly… but precisely because of this, when the Inner World reaches a certain threshold of burden, backlash forms…”

Wu Ming’s understanding of this was extremely profound.

“And at this time, the Inner World is almost entirely filled with resentment, sin, and darkness, making it an environment where main world beings cannot survive. Almost immediately upon entering, one either dies instantly or gets assimilated into a monster!”

Fortunately, with the power of Great Luo, it is still possible to barely grant the Reincarnators some protection, preventing them from dying at the threshold… however, even if they can temporarily resist the corruption of the Inner World, their situation will not be much better, because for the entire Inner World, living beings from the main world are naturally hated and opposed. Basically, all the monsters, by instinct, will target them as their primary prey…

Those monsters were extremely grotesque in appearance, seemingly offspring of evil gods and divine abominations, further corrupted by negative energy. Even though Wu Ming had only glimpsed them briefly through the Reincarnators’ eyes, he could still sense their twisted and formidable power.

That was just a small area where the Reincarnators had descended, yet there were already terrifying monsters comparable to sixth or seventh-grade beings!

It was easy to imagine how terrifying the overall strength of the entire Inner World must be, a flood capable of submerging the main world if one were not careful!

“Is the Inner World easy to enter but hard to leave, with stronger beings facing greater restrictions?”

Watching the flood of Origin energy accurately project the Reincarnators into the vortex’s center, Wu Ming shook his head, deciding not to attempt entering himself. Instead, he turned his attention to observing the cultivators through the Primordial God Hall.

On a barren land, beside a river of rolling magma, pulsing like a human artery.

With a flicker of light and shadow, all members of the Silver Wing Team appeared.

【Punishment Task: Survive for more than fifteen days in this world!】

【Task success: Reward of 100 contribution points; original evaluation canceled!】

The screen of The Primordial God’s hall briefly displayed the message.

“It’s indeed a survival task!”

Anjelina carefully examined the task details, not wanting to miss a single word: “Only 100 contribution points, it seems the key lies in the canceled evaluation. It means that as long as we survive, we get a fresh start?”

As for task failure, there was no need for the Primordial God’s punishment; they would die a miserable death regardless, making additional penalties redundant.

“Cough! Cough!”

A violent cough echoed, the scorching and highly toxic air immediately making the newbies in the team suffer.

Among them, a girl who appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen years old covered her mouth and nose, her face filled with pain, collapsing weakly to the ground.

In fact, if not for having at least some basic enhancements, they would all be dead by now.

Alternatively, without the protection of the Primordial God’s Hall and the Great Luo Light, they would have been corrupted by endless sins and darkness, transforming into monstrous abominations.

“Indeed, these people are just burdens!”

Doflang licked his lips: “Let me kill them! After all, if we survive this task, we can start anew anyway, right?”

This suggestion seemed quite tempting; even Katelina fell silent.

“Please don’t do that, Mr. Doflang!”

A stir arose among the newbies, then a young man stepped forward, helping the coughing girl to her feet: “I will take care of her. Besides, we don’t yet know the situation in this world. In critical moments, we can be your scouts, bait, or even food… isn’t that good?”

“Haha! Kid, you’ve convinced me!”

Doflang seemed to seriously consider the suggestion, then nodded: “She’s your responsibility now. Remember not to fall behind, or I’ll kill both of you… pity, if I had met you a few tasks earlier, I might have recruited you as our reserve member. What’s your name?”

“My name is Jack, and I’m a butcher by profession, most skilled at gutting pigs…”

The young man named Jack smiled, his appearance clean and fresh, making it hard to associate him with his former profession.

“Alright, our top priority now is to find a foothold!”

Anjelina looked around the environment, frowning.

Undeniably, the environment of this world naturally caused psychological oppression and irritability.

In fact, this was the influence of darkness and sin; without the protection of the Primordial God’s Hall, the situation would be even worse. Even with it, the external environment was still slowly and steadily corroding these Reincarnators.

Gurgle! Gurgle!

At this moment, a faint sound from across the magma river caught Anjelina’s attention.

“Hmm? There’s a creature? Seems to be alone!”

A hint of joy appeared on her face: “Its aura isn’t very strong. Let’s capture it and study the characteristics of this world!”

As a Reincarnator, she had enhanced perception and agility, specializing in the assassin class. At this moment, her figure flickered, directly arriving at the other side of the magma lake.

Then, Anjelina saw the “thing” that had made the sound!

It was a small monster, about the height of a human child, with limbs and a torso, but its skin was fiery red, small horns on its head, scales covering its body, and a pair of deformed wings flapping behind its back, though it was clearly incapable of flight.

At this moment, the monster had obviously noticed them, snarling at these strangers, its triangular eyes filled with unmistakable hostility, its sharp fangs eager to take a big bite out of them.

“This thing is truly hideous!”

Doflang grabbed it with one hand, ignoring the small monster’s furious squawking, which was of no avail.

“Hmm… seems to be equivalent to a first or second-grade Reincarnator. Perhaps a bit of a problem for the weaklings, but we are all enhanced to fourth-grade or above…”

Doflang smirked arrogantly: “Even if more of these trash come, they are still…”

In the next moment, the smile on his face froze, as if a duck had its neck pinched, unable to utter another sound.

Gurgle! Gurgle!

After finding it could not handle these strange enemies, the small monster opened its big mouth and let out a sharp cry.

Immediately, a large number of echoes suddenly emerged from all around.

From the magma river, one small monster after another poured out like ants, densely packed, with a rough count of no less than several thousand, and more were coming from behind!

“Damn… damn it!”

Doflang shouted in alarm and turned to run.

Don’t think he had been so arrogant just now, easily handling a dozen of these monsters with one hand, but facing thousands of them? He would have to be crazy to try!

Before reaching the sixth-grade, even ants could eventually kill an elephant.

Seeing this, Anjelina and the other Reincarnators could only curse and quickly run as well.

At this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

“Gurgle! Gurgle!”

Accompanied by a loud noise, a tall dark shadow suddenly slowly climbed out of the magma.

It was over three meters tall, entirely crimson, covered in scales, and its meaty wings spread wide, actually flying into the sky as if it were the king of the monsters.

At this moment, upon seeing the fleeing enemies, it roared, immediately conjuring a massive fireball filled with negative energy, violently hurling it down.

“Damn…”

The flames hit the ground, exploding into a large crater. Anjelina narrowly avoided it, filled with fury: “Such strength, is it the king of these monsters?”

“It’s very powerful, should be comparable to a fifth-grade Reincarnator. Fortunately, there’s only one…”

Doflang took out a silver spear, a flash of ruthlessness on his face: “Let’s work together and take it down. Once the leader is gone, these monsters should scatter.”

“Gurgle!” “Gurgle!”

Unfortunately, reality dealt the Reincarnators a ruthless blow.

Just as they turned around, preparing to lure the monster king down for an ambush and kill, several more monsters flew up from the red tide of small monsters.

“Those aren’t their leaders, just elite individuals among them?”

Doflang was completely horrified: “Such a big difference?”

“Ahh!”

While he was surprised, several new Reincarnators in the team had already been caught by the small monsters and brutally devoured, dying a miserable death.

Bang!

Another fireball fell, and several unlucky ones were hit, leaving no trace of their bodies.

“Could it be that we are going to be completely wiped out here, dying at the very beginning of the mission?”

Even Anjelina couldn’t help but feel a sense of despair at this moment.

Just as the entire Reincarnator team was about to be completely annihilated, suddenly, an overwhelming pressure descended!

Whoosh!

The small monsters screamed, retreating like a tide.

Anjelina trembled as she looked up and saw a monstrous eagle as large as a hill diving down, grabbing a big monster and swallowing it directly!

The other’s astonishing power left her unable to even think of resistance.

“In such a terrifying world… can we really survive?”

Seeing this, even the most defiant Reincarnators couldn’t help but feel a sense of despair.
