Chapter 1312: Chapter 164: I Am Xu Shu, the Social Butterfly—Old Friends and New Faces Everywhere

"This can’t go on! The Fire Giant Wheel appears and kills a limited number at a time, once it hits its quota, it seems to leave. Everyone act separately and run for your lives, whether we survive or not depends on our fate!"

"What?"

"Commander Zhang, what do you mean!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other Holy Knights, including Yan Hui, glared at him angrily, seemingly unable to accept such a betrayal.

However, before anyone could react further, Zhang Runzhi, risking loss of vitality, spat a mouthful of blood onto the center gap of the "Messiah’s Punishment".

Shzz!

He decisively left the formation, withdrew from the cave, found a direction alone, turned into a streak of blood, and moved at the fastest speed of his life.

He was the first to flee!

"Damn traitor!"

The group cursed angrily.

The next moment, the colossal wheel appeared as if by teleportation, directly within sight, less than a mile away.

The imposing blaze roared, as if it wanted to burn everything to ashes.

"Damn it! Everyone for themselves!"

Even Yan Hui couldn’t hold back anymore. He also spat a mouthful of blood onto the palm hollow, broke from the formation, and fled alone. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

This sudden change caused the fighting spirit of the remaining Red Emperor Army to instantly collapse.

All this talk of family, superiors, subordinates—it was all nonsense!

Now, whoever runs fastest survives, that’s the only rule!!!

Quick creak! Crack!

Figures in silver-white armor and blood-red capes scattered like birds and beasts.

"To... to cross to safety...?"

Facing the fleeing Third-rank Powerhouses, the skeleton on the ’Rebirth Giant Wheel’ looked around, seeming to fall into another dilemma.

It was clear it couldn’t eliminate all the escaping Third-ranks in a short time, having only managed to dispose of an unfortunate Female Knight from the Red Emperor Army, transcending her and merging her into the massive wheel as a new skull.

After less than three seconds of spinning, the giant fiery wheel finally followed the rules, selecting a direction towards what it deemed the strongest aura.

...

...

Over an hour later.

In the central continent, amid ruins hazed with fire marks.

"It’s finally over, I really am lucky~"

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, stopped with lingering fear, feeling immensely fortunate.

Come to think of it, it was odd; in fact, shortly after running for just a few minutes, Xu Shu found he couldn’t perceive the surrounding chanting anymore.

This left Xu Shu baffled, unsure of the exact situation.

How could it be so easy? Before, it had chased relentlessly for hours!

Therefore, Xu Shu dared not relax, he continued sprinting along the path the wheel had passed, traveling nearly a thousand miles before he dared to truly confirm his escape.

In terms of posture, he looked as miserable as a stray dog.

But at least the result wasn’t bad; this time, diverting the disaster eastward was quite successful!

The only disappointment was the missed opportunity to sneak a full-charged Chasing Sun Golden Spear at Zhang Runzhi during the chaos, trying to avenge an earlier grudge.

Unfortunately, he missed again.

But Xu Shu merely sighed; after all, there’s nothing that could be done.

Dealing with a peak "butcher" in good condition, with limited external interference—killing is one thing, but even hitting him is a significant challenge.

"The strongest survival means in all of the professions" isn’t just for show; standing still as a target might be suited for "Warriors," but when it comes to escape and survival skills, "Rogues" reign supreme.

"I hope they all fed the wheel so it’ll be better, though given the wheel’s rule of targeting the strongest, some might survive, but Yan Hui shouldn’t get away, right?"

Xu Shu pondered the opponent’s team composition, maliciously speculating.

He quickly cast these thoughts aside.

Ensuring his own safety was the urgent priority.

"Based on my previous path, this place should be in the mid-western continent; I don’t know if there would be more disasters here? Will the wheel return?"

Xu Shu stood by the city ruins, hesitated.

Dig a hole like before and hide? Or keep moving?

This shouldn’t be a difficult decision, but after experiencing the Rebirth Giant Wheel, Xu Shu was less confident.

Stay or go? It seemed that no matter the choice, unforeseen challenges lay ahead.

For some reason, he felt a strong sense of familiarity with the current scene.

It was as if he was back in the days trapped in Black Widow Prison, surrounded by a wasteland filled with enemies, with danger lurking no matter where he turned.

And now, there’s no "Journey Mode" to foresee the future and test mistakes!

He felt targeted, as if danger awaited him wherever he went.

Is this the dilemma of entering a large ruin without a "Rogue"?

Well, it’s possible... Ruins significantly resist human reverse invasion, requiring the lighting of an "incense burner" to enter.

And in such circumstances, if something akin to "ruins world rules" really existed, facing continuous hardships and extreme hazards doesn’t seem so unreasonable.

In some theories, this is referred to as suffering from heavenly jealousy!
