But at that moment, Hou Chengwu, with his keen eyesight, suddenly spotted Xiang Beifei's figure and immediately roared, "He's over there!"
This time, everyone saw clearly, Xiang Beifei was indeed a real person!
The others also saw Xiang Beifei, but because of the flood, it was difficult for them to disentangle themselves.
"Yu Hongbo, you keep an eye on these SRs for us, we'll deal with him!" Hou Chengwu shouted.
"Okay!" Yu Hongbo had to look after his subordinates, otherwise the SRs would be submerged by the flood.
Zhu Xinjue's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness, and he conjured a gigantic glass sphere in his hand, which flashed and transformed into an illusory glow, enveloping this void.
"This time I'll see where you can go!" Zhu Xinjue sneered coldly.
The glass sphere was a UR-grade spatial item that rendered any spatial teleportation useless. Since everyone had a Forfeit Talisman, Zhu Xinjue was worried Xiang Beifei would escape.
Soon, Hou Chengwu, Zhu Xinjue, Chen Baiwen, and He Qiutong had Xiang Beifei completely surrounded, their powerful auras not any weaker than the floodwaters, they stared intently at Xiang Beifei.
"Xiang Beifei, even though I know you're strong, we now have four people, so I still advise you to forfeit," said He Qiutong.
He Qiutong was unaware of Zhu Xinjue's plan, she, like Chen Baiwen, just wanted Xiang Beifei out of the game.
Xiang Beifei looked indifferently at the four people in front of him.
Four people, easier to deal with than five.
"That's correct, we don't want to do anything to you, just exit the game obediently, to avoid trouble." Chen Baiwen said gravely.
Yet, Hou Chengwu and Zhu Xinjue were filled with endless murderous intent.
"What are we waiting for? We need to take him down first before we can make him exit!" Hou Chengwu barked.
This time, facing Xiang Beifei, he had enough confidence, although he didn't know what happened last time in the arena and lost, now with four against one, Xiang Beifei was in his eyes undoubtedly a dead man!
Hou Chengwu said through gritted teeth, "I'll make you pay today!"
That day, as an SSR, he was stuffed into a trash can, utterly losing face, today he must kill Xiang Beifei!
"Three against two, not too bad, could be worse." Beifei said.
Zhu Xinjue snorted derisively, "Have we scared you senseless? Can't you even count properly now? Right now, it's four of us against you alone!"
"With such high esteem and virtue as President Ren has, he's stated, 'Names are not important, strength is what matters.' A senior who can speak like that must surely be open-minded, why would he bother with such minor matters as name-calling with me? You, as President Ren's proud pupil, why don't your principles in dealing with people align with President Ren's?"
Xiang Beifei looked at Hou Chengwu quizzically, then added, "Haven't you learned even the basics from him?"
His words were watertight, first sarcastically commenting on Ren Jianghai, then immediately elevating Ren Jianghai on a pedestal, preventing him from reacting over Xiang Beifei's slight on such a trivial matter, and subtly insulting Hou Chengwu in the process.
Hou Chengwu turned red with anger because of Xiang Beifei.
In midair, Li Zimu stood there, looking down at the scene below, and said, "They actually can't distinguish."
The flood here was the illusion of Li Zimu's Poetry Realm, and his Poetry Realm had reached the point where it was hardly distinguishable from reality. Although Hou Chengwu and Chen Baiwen were SSRs, a higher system level than his, and had higher cultivation levels, they theoretically shouldn't be so flustered.
"Of course, they can't distinguish, none of them are System Awakeners with a mental type." Xiang Beifei said.
Xiang Beifei's spiritual power was attached to the Poetry Realm created by Li Zimu, so even though Li Zimu only had late-stage Qi-Controlling cultivation, the flood he created carried the might of Meridian Opening stage!
As for suppression from system level, with Xiang Beifei present, the so-called superiority of the SSR system was just a display.
He specifically sought Li Zimu's assistance to trap this group of people.
But after traveling for a while, a fork in the road suddenly appeared ahead!
Xiang Beifei's figure reappeared at the fork, but then disappeared once more down this new path.
"Which way should we go?" Hou Chengwu asked Chen Baiwen urgently.
"I don't know, there's no trace." Chen Baiwen shook his head.
"Forget it, let's split up and take different paths, it'll be faster that way." Zhu Xinjue said.
"Splitting up means diluting our strength, if we encounter Xiang Beifei, do you think we'll have a chance against him?" Chen Baiwen inquired.
"Xiang Beifei is clearly being hunted by that desolate beast now, how could we not have a chance if we meet?" Zhu Xinjue replied.
After discussing for a moment, they decided to separate, but all agreed that upon encountering Xiang Beifei, they would first signal the others. If they could not find anyone after half an hour, they would regroup here.
To ensure mutual trust, they decided to mix up their personnel. Zhu Xinjue and Yu Hongbo went one way, and He Qiutong went another, while Chen Baiwen and Hou Chengwu took another route.
Hou Chengwu and Chen Baiwen, with three SRs, took the left path. Chen Baiwen seemed preoccupied, but Hou Chengwu still warned, "Don't forget our agreement."
Xiang Beifei vaguely understood, saying, "Absorbing memory?"
A desolate beast that eats the brain of another can sometimes ascertain the memories of that beast, meaning what one desolate beast has seen and heard can be digested by another.
