Chapter 62 – Leave It Here and See Who Dares

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

As soon as Wen Yu finished speaking, the two teammates behind Sequence 29 tugged at him, pulling the Military Uniform Man back into the crowd of Class Holders that had grown to dozens of people just a dozen meters away.

Wen Yu checked the time and pulled Pandora's Box directly from his person.

At the sight of this exquisite, ornate small box, the eyes of the Class Holders surrounding Wen Yu instantly lit up with greed, and they began to stir restlessly.

"Heh, let me give you all a piece of advice. Before you let your hearts be moved, take a look at the corpses on the ground first!"

Wen Yu's threat rang out. With his full power behind it, his voice echoed across the clearing, the sheer volume making the vision of the Class Holders with weaker Physiques go dark.

As these words fell, combined with the overwhelming strength Wen Yu had already displayed, the Class Holders below fell into a sudden silence.

"Good. If this is the attitude you're going to take, then we can have a proper chat. First, let's talk about my strength. You probably all saw it just now, and those who didn't can infer something from these twenty-seven heads. Therefore, I'm taking the first opening of this Treasure Chest!"

No sooner had Wen Yu finished speaking than he flipped open Pandora's Box.

A massive pillar of light erupted from Pandora's Box, shooting into the sky and visible from miles away. The light was so dazzling that every Survivor on Demon Island could see it.

In the distance, those Class Holders who hadn't reached Wen Yu's vicinity in time immediately picked up their pace.

…

The light faded, and Wen Yu looked directly into Pandora's Box.

Inside the box, ten Level 2 Attribute-Less Magic Crystals were lined up side by side.

Sweeping a calm gaze over the crowd, Wen Yu reached in and took the Magic Crystals out, clutching them in his hand and rapidly absorbing them.

Beside him, One-Eye let out a low, vicious growl at the people nearby.

"Anyone who takes a step forward dies!"

This was the threat from One-Eye.

Given One-Eye's massive size, his intimidation factor was arguably even greater than Wen Yu's.

"Captain, do we move?" the teammate behind the Military Uniform Man whispered.

The Military Uniform Man lowered his head in thought for a moment before shaking it.

"Wait. No true powerhouses have appeared among the crowd yet. We won't gain anything by going up now. However, if that guy intends to keep holding onto Pandora's Box, the three of us will eventually have to test him."

A ruthless glint flashed through the Military Uniform Man's eyes. Entering a Treasure Land was for the sake of treasures. Now that things had reached this point, even someone with his character would not show mercy to a competitor.

Besides, while he might not be a match for that man alone, with two teammates, the outcome was uncertain.

Many people shared this thought. Everyone was itching to move, but everyone was terrified that Wen Yu's lightning-fast strike would be unleashed upon them. Thus, the scene fell into a bizarre, tense stalemate.

By the time Wen Yu finished absorbing the Magic Crystals, his Physical Attribute had risen to 47 Points, yet there was still no reaction from the crowd below.

With a contemptuous smirk, Wen Yu closed Pandora's Box.

A string of clear text appeared above Pandora's Box.

The large, blood-red characters were clearly visible to everyone within a hundred-meter radius.

"Distance to next opening time: 29:56. Times opened: 1!"

Under the rules of the Treasure Land, this text was displayed in a form that people from every Country could understand.

"Ahem."

Wen Yu coughed loudly, drawing everyone's attention away from the text above Pandora's Box and back to himself.

"I appreciate you all making it possible for me to open the box. I won't waste any more breath on idle talk."

"Now, this treasure… I'm leaving it right here."

As Wen Yu finished speaking, he placed Pandora's Box atop the pile of corpses at his feet.

Then, with One-Eye in tow, he retreated a full ten meters away!

Seeing the unclaimed Pandora's Box shimmering with a dazzling, magnificent luster under the sunlight, someone finally succumbed to temptation!

It was a Black man, a peak Level 1 Class Holder!

His face was painted with eerie patterns. The moment he saw Wen Yu retreat, he shot toward the box like a hunting leopard.

As the distance closed, the man's eyes filled with hope and joy, his white teeth bared in a wide grin.

However, what met him was not the box, but a blood-stained Steel Blade.

In his Combat State, Wen Yu watched the man lunge for the box. With a Physical Attribute far superior to his opponent's, the man's movements looked like a slow-motion replay.

As Wen Yu exerted his strength, the onlookers saw nothing but a blur. Then, the charging man was pinned to the ground like a nail under Wen Yu's boot!

His chest caved in where Wen Yu stepped. Then, the sharp Steel Blade plunged down. The sheer ferocity of the blow caused the soil beneath the man's head to explode!

The man's skull had vanished, looking as if it had been struck head-on by a sledgehammer.

"Tsk, tsk. Some friends are just so impatient! I wasn't even finished speaking before you tried to grab the treasure. That simply won't do."

Wen Yu's mocking voice rang out, followed by words that made everyone's hearts tighten even further.

"I've put the item right here. If you can take it, it's yours. If you can't, your life belongs to me. Let's see who among you dares to take it."

The scene fell silent. Everyone was cowed by Wen Yu's overwhelming power and terrifying killing intent.

That was until more and more Class Holders began to surround the area, and the truly powerful among them started to appear!

"Move, trash!"

Accompanied by a roar and a scream, a figure flew rapidly toward Wen Yu. Wen Yu simply stepped aside to let it pass.

The figure flying toward him was a Class Holder, though he certainly hadn't intended to fly. He had been kicked through the air by someone else!

The force of the kick was so immense that the Class Holder had died mid-air!

"I thought I heard someone saying something just now, but I didn't quite catch it. Hey, kid up front, could you say that again?"

Accompanied by a playful voice, a figure slowly walked through the crowd and appeared before Wen Yu.

He was a young man roughly the same age as Wen Yu. The difference was that this man was incredibly sturdy; his thick arms were nearly as wide as Wen Yu's thighs.

Wen Yu looked at the man, pointed at Pandora's Box nearby, and then pointed at the newcomer. He then uttered a sentence that left the man's composure in shambles.

"You want the box? You're not worthy. Get lost!"

The smile instantly vanished from the sturdy man's face. He glared at Wen Yu, then lunged forward like a brown bear, throwing a punch!

The wind from the punch whistled past, but Wen Yu had already vanished from his sight!

A mocking voice sounded from beside him: "See? I told you to get lost, but you didn't listen. The price for ignoring my advice is going to be quite high!"
