One of its massive arms swept casually, effortlessly flattening a large military barracks fortress capable of housing thousands, turning it into a cloud of shattered stones and dust!
A dark energy beam swept across.
A distant stronghold that was still stubbornly resisting, along with the soldiers and weapons inside, instantly vanished without a sound!
The Abyssal Colossus wasn't specifically targeting those tiny, fleeing humans.
The vibrations and energy ripples it generated while moving were enough to cause mass casualties!
"It... it's coming inside..."
Liu Ziming collapsed to the ground, looking up at the terrifying giant figure that almost filled his entire field of vision, his pupils dilated to the extreme.
He had completely lost all strength.
Xu Hao was scared senseless, his mouth hanging open but unable to make any sound, tears and snot flowing uncontrollably.
Feng Jue used his sword to desperately support his body, barely managing to avoid kneeling.
Su Zhan felt a bone-chilling cold.
His Future Vision was filled with desperate futures of being casually crushed by the slightest movement of that colossus!
"No... can't stop!"
Su Zhan bit the tip of his tongue hard, forcibly suppressing the backlash from Future Vision: "It's too big! Its attention isn't on us ants! This is our only chance! Run!! Now!!!"
His words splashed like cold water, waking the others.
Indeed, in the eyes of such an existence, they might truly be too insignificant to warrant special attention!
The desire to survive once again overwhelmed their fear.
"Get up!"
Feng Jue sharply pulled up the collapsed Liu Ziming.
Su Zhan also forcibly dragged up Xu Hao.
The four of them struggled once more.
Like insects struggling to survive at the feet of a deity, they ran with all their might in the direction opposite to the colossus's movement.
The Abyssal Colossus had already entered the city.
The destruction of South Cang Fortress had entered its final countdown.
Su Zhan's squad was like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.
Fleeing desperately.
"Right passage! Three Bone Corrosion Hunters! Reaching the corner in 5 seconds!"
Su Zhan's voice was so hoarse it was almost cracking, nosebleed continuously dripping, the dual perception from Future Vision making his head feel like it was splitting open.
But he didn't dare stop, frantically pushing his potential to the limit: "Left turn! Quick!"
The four of them slammed open a half-closed iron door, rushing into a narrow space filled with thick pipes, steam, and the smell of engine oil.
The next second.
Three roaring Bone Corrosion Hunters rushed past from the right passage, pouncing on several unfortunate fleeing soldiers in the distance, screams instantly rising.
"Cough cough..."
Liu Ziming leaned against the cold pipe, coughing violently, his face deathly pale: "Damn it... endless..."
Xu Hao's body was still trembling uncontrollably.
Feng Jue silently guarded the entrance, his Startling Swan Sword held horizontally before him, ears slightly moving, capturing any suspicious sounds.
Su Zhan leaned back against the wall, breathing heavily.
Quickly scanning this temporary refuge.
"We can't stay here long! The steam pipe pressure is unstable, could explode at any moment! And monsters are tracking our scent! Climb down through that maintenance passage! Hurry!"
Su Zhan pointed to a greasy vertical maintenance shaft in the corner.
They didn't know what was below.
But at this moment, they could only choose to trust Su Zhan.
Su Zhan grabbed the cold ladder first, sliding down.
Feng Jue followed without hesitation.
Liu Ziming and Xu Hao exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and could only brace themselves to follow.
After climbing vertically for about ten meters, they reached an even darker underground maintenance tunnel.
"Thump!"
Xu Hao, exhausted, fell down directly, splashing filthy water everywhere.
"Careful!"
Feng Jue pulled him up.
"Ahead... something..."
Su Zhan panted, Future Vision once again sending danger warnings: "It's lurking Toxic Slime Beasts! Feng Jue! Left front three meters, under the sewage!"
"Swish!"
A flash of sword light!
Feng Jue struck almost simultaneously with Su Zhan's words, stabbing into the seemingly calm sewage.
"Squeak—!"
A sharp shriek.
A slippery monster covered with poisonous tumors burst out from under the sewage.
But it had already been pierced through the head by the Startling Swan Sword, twitching as it fell.
"Take the right fork!"
Su Zhan continued guiding without pause.
They twisted and turned through this underground network.
Sometimes crawling through narrow pipes, sometimes wading through icy sewage, sometimes needing to work together to push open rusted gates.
Along the way, they encountered several scattered groups of monsters, all detected in advance by Future Vision.
Either swiftly dealt with by Feng Jue, or forced into brief skirmishes.
Su Zhan maintained Future Vision entirely by burning his willpower, blood beginning to seep from all seven orifices, his appearance miserable and terrifying.
The ground vibrations and the terrifying roars from the distant Abyssal Colossus's movements never stopped.
They didn't know how long they had been running, or where they were.
Just numbly following Su Zhan's guidance.
Until...
"There's light ahead!"
Xu Hao suddenly shouted weakly.
At the end of the tunnel, natural light different from emergency lighting could faintly be seen, and the sound of wind could be heard.
"It's an exit!"
Liu Ziming's eyes filled with wild joy.
Su Zhan forced himself to concentrate, Future Vision frantically scanning ahead.
"Safe outside the exit for now! But behind us... pursuers are coming soon! Quick! Charge out!"
Su Zhan roared hoarsely.
The four used their last strength to sprint toward the light representing hope.
The four staggered out of the dark tunnel entrance.
Air flooded their lungs, bringing the daze of surviving a catastrophe.
They seemed to be in an abandoned buffer zone on the fortress outskirts, full of broken fortifications and shell craters.
In the distance, they could still see the towering but already badly damaged fortress walls.
And the terrifying outline of the Abyssal Colossus still moving within the city, causing earth-shaking tremors.
But at least, they had temporarily left that hellish steel tomb.
"We're out... we really made it out..."
Liu Ziming collapsed to the ground, greedily breathing, tears mixing with blood and grime as they flowed down.
Xu Hao lay flat on his back directly, looking at the gray sky, his chest heaving violently, unable to speak a word.
Feng Jue leaned on his sword, breathing heavily.
Su Zhan stumbled violently, almost falling face-first to the ground.
His hands clutching his head desperately, feeling like his brain was about to explode.
The continuously overloaded Future Vision completely collapsed!
The perception of the dual-world faded, leaving behind blankness and tearing pain!
His mental energy and spiritual power were completely exhausted, likely damaging his foundation!
Blood flowed uncontrollably from his eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth, making him look utterly miserable and terrifying!
His vision blurred, the world spinning.
Even standing steadily became extremely difficult.
"Brother Su!"
Liu Ziming exclaimed in shock, trying to get up and support him.
Feng Jue immediately stepped forward.
Less than ten seconds of breathing time...
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several sounds of cutting through air rang out.
Three people wearing loose black robes and face masks appeared around them, precisely blocking the direction toward relatively safe areas.
These people had strange auras, clearly not friendly.
"Who are you!?"
Feng Jue instantly raised his sword in front, protecting the nearly combat-incapable Su Zhan behind him, shouting sharply.
Liu Ziming and Xu Hao also struggled to their feet, nervously looking at these uninvited guests.
The leading black-robed person let out a low, hoarse laugh:
"Poor lost lambs... escaped from that cage, have you? Pity... you encountered us."
Before the words finished, the three black-robed people's bodies simultaneously underwent terrifying mutations!
Their bodies expanded and twisted.
Slimy tentacles, jointed limbs with bone spikes, and distorted claws... extended from under their robes!
"Aberrants!? It's the Transcendence Society!"
Liu Ziming screamed in terror, the little color that had returned to his face instantly draining away.
