On the other side, the players had just cleared out a group of Black Wolf Demonic Beasts and were celebrating completing fifteen percent of their Task.

Just then, they saw the distant forest collapse entirely, and the whole Region began to shake violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

"What's going on? Is this an earthquake?" one player asked.

"Holy crap, this game even includes natural disasters? It's so badass!" exclaimed another.

"The earthquake effects are so realistic. Now I'm curious how real it felt for Sister Zhou when she was struck by lightning."

"Something's not right. I don't think this is an earthquake!" a more observant player chimed in, and the other players murmured in agreement, a sense of unease spreading.

The Third Test Players, unfamiliar with the situation, looked around in confusion. They didn't know the specifics. However, the First Test Players and Second Test Players knew very well that even if earthquakes could occur in the game, they definitely wouldn't happen at this particular time.

What version are we in now? Version 3.0, the Cultivation Era! This is a genuine Cultivation Era; how could a natural disaster like an earthquake be normal?

"Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!"

A frantic shout suddenly echoed from the distant forest, capturing the attention of nearly all the players. In the next moment, they saw Dung Beetle burst out from a thicket, sprinting desperately towards them.

The members of the Second Legion watched Dung Beetle, who looked completely panicked, with puzzled expressions.

Why is he the only one running over here? Didn't someone say earlier that he took his fans to hunt Demonic Beasts?

Dung Beetle ran swiftly, finally reaching I, Xuanqing's side. Gasping for breath, he managed, "Thanks… Thank you!" Even as he spoke, he couldn't stop himself from glancing back over his shoulder.

What's behind him?

Curious, I, Xuanqing and the others also looked in that direction. To their horror, a Giant Python Demonic Beast charged out from the trees, heading straight for Dung Beetle with terrifying speed.

"What the fuck?! Is that a dragon?" a player shrieked.

"Are you blind? Since when don't dragons have legs?" retorted another.

"Quick, get out of the way! We can't handle that thing! Run!"

"Could that earthquake earlier have been caused by this Demonic Beast? We're probably going to get Team-Wiped!"

Watching the Giant Python Demonic Beast bear down on their position, I, Xuanqing turned to look at Dung Beetle, only to find that the rascal had already taken off again.

At that instant, I, Xuanqing's expression turned thunderous. "Dung Beetle, fuck your mother!"

His furious curse echoed as the Second Legion suffered devastating casualties. He, the commander of the Second Legion, was subsequently crushed into paste by the rampaging python.

The entire Second Legion was thrown into utter chaos. The fleeing players had no time to dodge. Even some Veteran Players couldn't escape being crushed under the giant python, which plowed through them like a bulldozer. As for the Third Test Players, merely surviving the onslaught of its massive, thrashing body became an impossible dream.

One moment, the Second Legion was celebrating their victory over the Black Wolf Demonic Beasts. The next, they were utterly annihilated. Truly, not a single one survived.

Dung Beetle, blissfully unaware of the Second Legion's fate, continued to run for his life, cursing all the while.

I have no idea what's up with this Giant Python Demonic Beast! Just like those Bees, it's chasing me like I killed its ancestors! Fortunately, the python's appearance made the swarm of Bees stop, surprisingly. If they both came at me, how long could I even last? Should I try to escape the Dense Forest? But if the Sect Leader finds out, wouldn't he team up with the Giant Python Demonic Beast to hunt me down?

A shiver ran down Dung Beetle's spine at the thought, and his legs pumped even faster.

Can't stop! Got to keep running! Death means Resurrection, sure, but I don't understand what's happening this time. I swear I didn't provoke these Demonic Beasts, so why are they so dead-set on chasing me? Figuring this out is the most important thing right now! It's just Escaping, isn't it? As if others can't do the same! Stupid Demonic Beasts, they can't even catch me!

Further ahead, other players who had heard the commotion exchanged uneasy glances. Those led by Flourishing Flowers and Chaotic Dance Steps had already gathered together. Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw a Giant Python Demonic Beast thundering towards them. And right in front of the rampaging beast, a figure was fleeing for dear life!

What in the world is happening? Flourishing Flowers and Chaotic Dance Steps were utterly stunned. They could all feel the overwhelming threat emanating from the Giant Python Demonic Beast. Faced with such a colossal creature, they knew they had no chance of fighting back. In fact, they were so shocked they even forgot to run!

As Dung Beetle sprinted past them, he yelled desperately, "Brother Flourishing Flowers, save my miserable life!"

Flourishing Flowers was about to explode. Save you? My ass! What the hell did you do to attract such a terrifying Demonic Beast? And why the FUCK are you running towards us?!

Too late. In the very next moment, all the players led by Flourishing Flowers and Chaotic Dance Steps were obliterated by the giant python.

When Flourishing Flowers and his group resurrected at the entrance of Taibai Hall, they saw many other players already gathered there. Their faces were grim.

What's going on here? Flourishing Flowers wondered.

I, Xuanqing, who had also respawned, saw Flourishing Flowers and his contingent appear and immediately guessed what had happened. "Wiped out by the Giant Python Demonic Beast too?" I, Xuanqing asked, his expression dark.

Flourishing Flowers stared blankly for a moment, then nodded. "You guys too?"

He looked around. Almost everyone from the Second Legion was present, each person's face a mask of frustration and horror. The members of Cloud Lament also wore cold expressions.

Good heavens, is Dung Beetle trying to get every single player Team-Wiped? someone thought bitterly.

"What on earth did Dung Beetle do to get targeted by such a powerful Demonic Beast?" Chaotic Dance Steps fumed, his face dark. "Couldn't he just have accepted his fate and let that Demonic Beast kill him? Did he really have to drag all of us down with him?"
