Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 479 - 332: Abyss King

As expected, when Latis heard the words "Master," his expression noticeably panicked. He glanced nervously into the depths of the darkness, as if something there was holding his heart hostage.

Li Xin observed it all. She had been secretly watching Latis’ every move, and seeing his unusual demeanor now, she immediately shouted sternly, "Latis! What exactly are you hiding?!"

Latis snapped back to reality, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes. He hurriedly defended himself, "Miss, don’t listen to his nonsense. How... how could I possibly betray the great leader? I am faithful to the great leader, heaven and earth can testify!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

However, his words carried an undeniable hint of guilt. Li Xin stared at him intently, her eyes flashing with cold light. "Latis, the great leader has treated you like family, why would you do such a treacherous thing?!" Her voice was cold and firm, like a sharp sword piercing Latis’ heart.

Latis’ face turned deathly pale in an instant. He knew he could no longer hide, yet he was unwilling to be caught just like that. His eyes flickered unsteadily, and suddenly he leaped up, frantically sprinting into the depths of the darkness.

"Trying to escape?!" Li Xin sneered, her form shooting forward like an arrow in pursuit.

Luo Chen followed closely behind without hesitation. He knew there must be a larger secret hidden behind this sudden upheaval, and Latis was undoubtedly the key to unlocking it.

In the darkness, Latis’ speed reached an extreme. His figure flickered under the night sky, like an agile cheetah fleeing for its life. However, Li Xin and Luo Chen’s speed was equally formidable. They stayed tight on Latis’ trail, constantly closing the gap between them.

As time ticked by, Latis’ breathing started to become labored. He knew he could no longer maintain such high-speed movement for long. And once he slowed down, what awaited him would be merciless judgment and punishment.

Just then, a dazzling light suddenly appeared ahead. Latis’ eyes lit up, and he immediately saw the dawn of hope. Without hesitation, he charged towards the light.

However, as he approached the light, he realized it was no way out, but a treacherous trap! Under the light, a massive abyss suddenly appeared before him. The abyss was shrouded in thick mist, seemingly hiding endless perils and killing intent.

Latis was shocked, but at this point, he couldn’t stop his steps. He let out a desperate scream, his figure plummeting into the abyss like a kite with a broken string.

Li Xin and Luo Chen arrived just in time at the edge of the abyss. They stared into the pitch-black, bottomless pit, their faces showing a heavy expression. They knew Latis had completely vanished. And this sudden upheaval brought them even more mysteries and confusion. Next, they would face even greater challenges and trials. But no matter what, they would persevere until all secrets were unveiled!

The night was as dark as ink, and the wind on the grassland carried a chill, brushing against the hem of Luo Chen’s clothes. He was poised and ready, his gaze locked on the distant darkness, yet was suddenly left speechless by the scene before him.

The place where Latis had just stood was now empty. In the distance, a blue light streaked across the night sky, swift as a meteor. It was an arrow shot by Li Xin, her longbow as calm and determined as she was.

"Hmph, under this girl’s arrow, can you run?!" Li Xin’s cold laughter echoed through the night sky. She calmly and gracefully nocked another arrow.

With a "twang," the sharp arrow streaked forth, glowing with blue light, like the brightest star in the night sky. The arrow’s speed was so fast that it was impossible to track.

Soon after, a heart-wrenching scream emanated from midair, filled with pain and fear. Then came a thud of a heavy fall, like a weight hitting the ground, and then, everything returned to silence.

Luo Chen watched this scene in shock, a storm raging in his heart. He had never seen such fierce archery before; a single arrow effortlessly killing a powerful Mage. He knew Latis’ strength was not insignificant, yet at this moment, he didn’t even have time to react before being defeated.

Recalling his own encounters with Latis, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel a shiver of fear. He was relieved he didn’t act rashly back then. Otherwise, he might have already become a ghost under Li Xin’s arrow.

Just then, a series of sharp whooshing sounds suddenly rang out in the night sky. "Whoosh," "whoosh," "whoosh"... The sound was as sharp and eerie as a specter, unsettling the mind.

Li Xin’s expression changed, and she immediately called out to everyone, "Hide behind the wall!" Her voice carried a sense of urgency and seriousness. Luo Chen and the others did not dare delay and swiftly moved to hide behind the wall.
