"Feast?"
The rest were unfamiliar with the term, only Yan Qiu Ren covered his mouth.
"No way..."
"So what exactly is a feast?" Bai Ye asked, scratching his head.
Wu Suo Wei looked at Yan Qiu Ren, who understood and explained, "It's a grand gathering of heretics. You can think of it like that. Feasts are held irregularly. It's been decades since the last one was held by the heretics!"
"That long?!" Wu Suo Wei nodded.
"Normally, heretics have no contact with each other. But once they decide to prepare for a feast, they will elect a leader, the chief organizer. This chief organizer must be a sentient heretic and must be very powerful."
"What's the chief organizer's responsibility?" Sheng Chen asked.
"It's simple. Like a pyramid, the top is the chief organizer. Below him are several powerful heretics, and then their subordinates. It's a layered selection, and finally, the chief organizer and those few powerful heretics decide the venue for the feast."
"Don't tell me... it's here?" Sun Xiao Xiao shrank back.
"That's right. What they're doing now is clearing all humans from the beach and turning this place into a paradise for heretics!"
"So what do we do now?" Wu Suo Wei looked at Zhu Ke, who was unconscious in his hands.
"Let's start with this guy."
Zhu Ke woke up, but his intelligent eyes and profound remarks made everyone feel at a loss for how to proceed.
"What is your mission?"
"Follow my big brother."
"Who is your big brother?"
"My big brother... is my big brother."
Bai Ye, enraged, slapped him. He thought the guy was intentionally provoking them, but clearly, he wasn't. He was genuinely stupid.
"Then what is your big brother's mission?" Yan Qiu Ren asked in a different way.
"My big brother's mission is to complete the task assigned by the boss."
"What task did your boss assign?" Zhu Ke scratched his head. "I don't know, I'm just responsible for following my big brother."
"You mother—"
"Master, calm down!"
Helplessly, Wu Suo Wei realized this was a true simpleton. He sat opposite him and asked a few irrelevant questions.
"What is your race?"
"Blood sucker."
"Are you, your big brother, and your boss all of the same race?"
"Mm!"
"Did you come here because of the feast?"
Regarding this question, Zhu Ke didn't know and just shook his head vigorously.
"Damn, it would be great if Duan Chen were here."
"Forget it, that guy doesn't have much brains. Even if he read minds, he wouldn't get much."
"Speaking of which, where is Duan Chen?"
This question reminded everyone that Duan Chen and Niya didn't seem to be around.
"They've probably run into trouble too." Wu Suo Wei could sense a barrier around the hotel, and Duan Chen and Niya might not be able to enter easily.
Just as he guessed, Duan Chen was indeed facing trouble. It wasn't a big or small problem.
"This beach seems to have no end." Duan Chen and Niya had been walking for a full ten minutes. He was sure he was following the path towards the hotel, but no matter how they walked, all they saw was endless sand and sea.
"It's a Void Domain, and it's not quite like ordinary Void Domains." Duan Chen realized that the owner of this Void Domain didn't want to kill them, but merely trap them.
"It's just sand and sea, where do we find the core of the formation?"
"How about we try jumping into the sea?" Duan Chen's face twitched. "You're fine, but I can't swim."
"Then how about you try firing a railgun into the sea?" This was feasible.
Duan Chen gathered his strength.
"Sequence 012: [Pseudo·Railgun!]"
"Boom!" The railgun hit the sea surface, but instead of creating ripples, the sea surface, like a shattered mirror, cracked and broke with a "kaka" sound.
"Bang!" The sea turned to dust, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed from a beach to a forest.
"Tsk..."
"It's a chain of Void Domains."
Somewhere Duan Chen and Niya didn't notice, a man was hiding in a corner. Upon seeing Duan Chen's move, he flinched violently.
"Damn, this power is too terrifying!"
"Are they really ordinary psionics?"
"Could they be Spirit Hunter Agents?"
"No, I have to report this situation!"
Duan Chen had broken through the fifth Void Domain. He was losing patience, and with these ones appearing one after another, they might be endless.
"Eye of God!"
"Eye of Truth!"
Swish! In an instant, the man hiding in the corner felt as if he had nowhere to hide, as if he were standing naked in the icy snow, a chill creeping all over his body. It felt as if a deity were watching his every move from above.
Something's not right! Duan Chen almost instantly locked onto the figure attempting to escape.
"Death Sight!"
Buzz! Niya's expression changed. Even though he was an Apostle and possessed some of the power of an evil god, his body began to tremble uncontrollably when he saw Duan Chen's eyes! A fear from the depths of his soul!
"No, no way!" The man fled desperately, sensing the aura of death from that gaze. At this moment, he regretted only having two legs, his running speed was too slow!
"Hmph..." Duan Chen endured the severe pain within his body. In his eyes, all rounded objects had acquired sharp edges. The man's flaws were too numerous, with countless straight lines appearing on him.
"Sequence 035: [Raven Barrage!]" Rustle! A flock of ravens flapped their wings in the sky and swooped down directly at the man.
"No—!" The man's eyes were wide with rage. He didn't want to die yet! He hadn't participated in the feast!
Unfortunately, Duan Chen had no intention of letting him live.
"Bang!" An explosion echoed, and the Void Domain instantly disappeared. Duan Chen found himself and Niya walking in the sea, the water reaching their waists. If not for the help of his pupils, and if they had broken through a few more Void Domains, they would have been fish food in the sea.
"This person's ability is quite good." Duan Chen smiled faintly. He had silently activated his Eye of Theft and directly copied the man's ability.
Niya shook the water and sand from his shorts, his expression peculiar. Duan Chen took a deep breath. He had simultaneously activated three or four pupil techniques, his internal organs burning painfully, and his spiritual energy depleted by more than half. He planned to rest on the beach for a while before heading to the hotel.
"Mm, the situation at the hotel is probably similar." After all, it had only just begun.
