Trample, trample, trample...
A dense crowd surged forward like a tide. Iron Mountain, Li Bao, and other awakened individuals took the lead, their bodies exuding a fierce aura as they surrounded the dilapidated building Chen Chong had broken into. However, they found the building on the verge of collapse, with debris scattered inside, as if it were empty.
Then, a sharp-eyed lackey shouted, "Over there, it seems like that kid ran away!"
"He rushed into the residential area!"
"Where's the general? Why can't we see him?"
Boom, boom, boom—
"Where are you running, General? You better let me pound you to death!"
At this moment, like a bulldozer operating in the residential area, the sound of bricks and stones bursting continuously rang out, mixed with Chen Chong's wild laughter echoing endlessly overhead, startling everyone who had just rushed over.
The lackeys looked at each other in astonishment, while the faces of Iron Mountain and the other six awakened individuals became unusually colorful:
What's going on? Did the general escape? Could it be... the general is no match for that kid and is being chased by him?
Iron Mountain, Bone Army, and others quickly exchanged suspicious glances. A thought they themselves couldn't believe emerged from the depths of their hearts.
After all, they had witnessed the power of Chen Chong's surprise attack on the Blood General, and the bizarre sight of Chen Chong transforming into a humanoid dinosaur had shocked and impressed them greatly, leading them to entertain such thoughts.
Without firsthand experience, they didn't believe that Chen Chong's strength surpassed that of the Blood General. They thought that the unexpectedness of Chen Chong's previous ambush had caught the Blood General off guard, resulting in his serious injuries and the current situation.
Nevertheless, this also indicated that Chen Chong was far more powerful than an ordinary awakened individual and might have reached the level of an advanced awakened!
Both Iron Mountain, Li Bao, and the other awakened individuals, as well as the lowest-ranking lackeys, were horrified, feeling that the scenes that had unfolded in just a few seconds were simply unbelievable. None of them had expected that Chen Chong, who they hadn't paid much attention to, would dare to hide so deeply! Even their deeply respected Blood General had fallen into Chen Chong's trap!
As Chen Chong's maniacal laughter faded away, everyone was lost in thought for a moment, their eyes flickering with various thoughts.
"Immediately go support the general!"
At this moment, Iron Mountain, a loyal follower of the Blood General, with a fierce look in his eyes, shouted madly, "This scoundrel actually dared to shamelessly ambush us. Once the general catches his breath, this kid is as good as dead! Now, everyone, form groups of ten and block him in the alleyways. Whoever manages to kill this kid will not only receive rich rewards but also take over Yinhu's position!"
Roar!
With great rewards come great brave men. Iron Mountain's roar instantly ignited the bloodlust and fanaticism of over two hundred lackeys present. These lackeys howled like mad dogs and rushed into the narrow, filthy alleys to search for Chen Chong's whereabouts.
As for Chen Chong's astonishing performance just now, it was subconsciously ignored by these lackeys. The Blood General's prestige was too great, and every one of them believed that if it weren't for the shameless ambush, Chen Chong would never have been a match for the Blood General. And with nearly three hundred of them now armed with long spears and short guns, as long as they called out together, they could easily overwhelm Chen Chong with their numbers alone!
Moreover, the narrow and cramped space in the alleyways left no room for evasion. With a bit of luck, it wasn't impossible to kill an awakened individual with a simultaneous volley of spears. No one thought they were unlucky, and no one was willing to miss this opportunity to gain fame, show loyalty in front of the Blood General, and maybe even take his place!
"We'll go in pairs and block that kid separately. Don't let him escape!!"
Turning their heads quickly to Bone Army, Li Bao, Zhang Long, Sun Yimao, Wang Qianlie, and Qian Xu, Iron Mountain stared fiercely and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. You should know something about the general's abilities. As soon as he catches his breath, it's the death sentence for that kid. If any of you act stupid and have any thoughts you shouldn't have..."
As a confidant, Iron Mountain knew very well that the Blood General possessed an extremely miraculous latent ability: absorbing blood as nourishment, accelerating cell division, and undergoing super-fast healing and recovery!
This ability was extremely astonishing. Any injury that wasn't instantly fatal could be quickly healed by the Blood General through the absorption of blood. Even severe injuries like losing a hand or foot could theoretically be regenerated as long as the Blood General had enough time and blood nourishment!
This is where the Blood General's true strength lies. So as long as we intercept Chen Chong and create an opportunity for the Blood General to recover, then Chen Chong is as good as dead!
Although Iron Mountain looked rough on the outside, he was as sharp as a needle on the inside and immediately assessed the situation. Most of the awakened individuals present were awed by the Blood General's power and bloodline control, but they couldn't be considered loyal. Chen Chong's previous laughter seemed to have shaken their morale, so Iron Mountain issued a warning to prevent them from slacking off.
"Iron Mountain, don't worry, we all know the general's abilities. That kid won't be able to keep laughing for long!"
Li Bao couldn't wait to show his loyalty:
"I'll team up with you. Let's go block that kid now, create an opportunity for the general, and make that kid regret being born in this world!"
"Good!"
With time pressing, Iron Mountain immediately shouted:
"Li Bao and I will go together, Bone Army and Zhang Long will go together, and the remaining three will form another group. Once we block Chen Chong, signal immediately!"
With Iron Mountain's command, the other awakened individuals set aside their unnecessary thoughts and dashed out, each heading into the residential area.
...
Huff... huff... huff...
As a large number of lackeys poured into the residential area to frantically chase and intercept, the Blood General at this moment had torn clothing on his upper body, almost naked, lightning flashing continuously in the alleyways.
Burning inside, severe pain in the chest, even the air he breathed carried a strong scent of blood. The bloodstains on the Blood General's face had dried up, blood snakes winding on his face, making the Blood General look like a fleeing ghost.
"Beast! Beast! Beast!"
Listening to the sound of the ground being ruthlessly trampled and burst behind him, knowing that Chen Chong was still relentlessly pursuing him like a maggot on bones, and getting closer and closer, the Blood General, like a cornered beast, had a fierce look in his eyes, roaring with extreme anger in his heart:
"Just give me ten minutes... no, just give me five minutes!"
Until now, his plan to shake off Chen Chong's pursuit using the complex terrain hadn't worked, and now his body was under even more strain due to the intense exertion, approaching its limit. If he didn't shake off Chen Chong's ability to use his powers soon, he would eventually be caught up by Chen Chong, and the outcome would be unpredictable!
His ability was an extremely rare latent ability, which he named "Boiling Blood Burning". This ability could extract the blood of others, convert it into a special life energy, accelerate cell division, and enable rapid healing of any injuries to himself. As long as he was given a few minutes, he could restore most of his combat strength.
The Blood General was fully confident that although Chen Chong seemed invincible and incredibly strong, his combat experience and skills were abysmal. As long as he could regain most of his strength and with the support of his subordinates, dealing with Chen Chong would not be difficult. He would surely make Chen Chong pay a hundredfold for the humiliation and pain he had suffered!
The Blood General was indeed extremely frustrated. Even if he were fighting against an extraordinary person who had unlocked their genetic potential, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state. However, Chen Chong's thunderous ambush had directly left him half-crippled, making it difficult for him to even utilize half of his strength. Even his trump card ability couldn't find an opportunity to be used under Chen Chong's relentless pursuit, leaving him gnashing his teeth under the chase.
Huff.
A sudden gust of evil wind blew from behind, and a vague shadow seemed to be flying towards him. The Blood General, who had originally intended to change direction, suddenly sprang forward.
Boom!
With a muffled and heavy sound, a large hole was instantly blasted out of the wall beside the Blood General. It turned out to be a chunk of earth and stone wall thrown directly by Chen Chong, narrowly missing the Blood General.
The Blood General's face twisted in pain, too busy to even curse, and continued to flee in despair.
"Hahaha, why run, General? Come and play!"
With most laborers working in factories now, this residential area was almost deserted. Chen Chong mocked freely, laughing wildly as he smashed doors, windows, and walls with brute force to take shortcuts, while hurling chunks of rubble towards the fleeing Blood General.
He clearly noticed that the Blood General's speed was getting slower and slower, and he seemed to be getting weaker, unable to hold on for much longer.
"He's here!"
However, at this moment, a large number of footsteps and curses quickly approached. Iron Mountain and Li Bao, accompanied by over a dozen lackeys, suddenly appeared on the path that the Blood General must pass through!
It was precisely because they heard the commotion from this direction that the two of them rushed over with their subordinates in advance.
