Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

As soon as Wen Yu finished speaking, the two teammates behind Sequence Number 29 immediately pulled him back, drawing him into the growing crowd of professionists about ten meters away.

Wen Yu calculated the time and produced the Pandora's Magic Box from his clothes!

Seeing this exquisite, ornate little box, the eyes of the professionists surrounding Wen Yu immediately lit up, all of them restless and eager.

"Heh, let me offer a word of advice. Before you get any ideas, take a good look at the corpses on the ground!"

Wen Yu's threatening voice, amplified by his full power, thundered across the open space, reverberating continuously. It was so loud that professionists with weaker constitutions felt their vision darken!

Coupled with Wen Yu's words and his display of overwhelming strength that clearly looked down on them, the professionists below suddenly fell silent.

"Well, if you're all going to be like this, then we can have a proper chat. Let me first talk about my own strength. Some of you might have just witnessed it. For those who haven't, you should be able to glean something from these twenty-seven corpses. Therefore, I'll be taking the first opening of this treasure chest!"

The moment Wen Yu finished speaking, he immediately opened the Pandora's Magic Box in his hand!

A colossal beam of light erupted from the Pandora's Magic Box, shooting skyward and spreading far and wide. The light was so dazzling that it seemed even all the survivors on Cacodemons Island could see it.

Professionists in the distance, those who hadn't yet reached Wen Yu's vicinity, immediately quickened their pace.

Once the light subsided, Wen Yu looked directly into the Pandora's Magic Box.

Inside the box, ten Level 2 attributeless magic crystals were neatly arranged!

Calmly, Wen Yu swept his gaze over everyone, then directly took the magic crystals from the box, holding them in his hand and rapidly beginning to absorb them!

Meanwhile, Cyclops, standing beside him, growled fiercely at the crowd not far off.

"Anyone who dares take a step forward dies!"

This was Cyclops's threat.

Given Cyclops's physique, his intimidating presence was even greater than Wen Yu's!

"Captain, should we make a move?" a teammate quietly asked from behind the military-dressed man.

The military-dressed man lowered his head in thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Wait. No true powerful experts have shown themselves among the people around us yet. We won't gain anything by going up now. However, if this fellow intends to keep hold of the Pandora's Magic Box, then we three will have no choice but to confront him!"

A ruthless glint flashed in the military-dressed man's eyes. They had entered the treasure land for treasures. Now that things had reached this point, even he, despite his usual character, would show no mercy to competitors. Moreover, while he might not be a match for that individual alone, it was a different story with his two teammates!

Many people harbored such thoughts. Everyone was restless, yet they all worried that Wen Yu's devastating strike might fall upon them. Thus, the scene fell into a strange stalemate.

By the time Wen Yu finished absorbing the magic crystals, his physical attributes having risen to 47 points, the crowd below still hadn't made a move.

With a disdainful sneer, Wen Yu closed the Pandora's Magic Box.

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

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

"Time until next opening: 29:56. Times opened: 1."

Under the rules of the treasure land, this text was displayed in a universally understandable format.

Wen Yu coughed heavily twice, drawing everyone's gaze from the words above the Pandora's Magic Box back to himself.

"Thank you for allowing me to open the Magic Box. I won't say anything more. Now, I'll leave this treasure right here."

After saying this, Wen Yu placed the Pandora's Magic Box on the pile of corpses at his feet.

Then, he and Cyclops retreated about ten meters.

Seeing the ownerless Pandora's Magic Box shimmering with a dazzling, magnificent radiance under the sunlight, someone finally couldn't resist the temptation!

It was a black man, a peak Level 1 professionist! Strange patterns were painted on his face with greasepaint. The moment Wen Yu retreated, this man pounced like a leopard toward the Magic Box.

As he drew closer and closer to the Magic Box, his eyes filled with hope and joy, a wide grin revealing all his white teeth.

However, what greeted the black man wasn't the Magic Box, but a blood-stained steel saber.

In his combat state, Wen Yu saw the black man pounce directly toward the Magic Box. Due to his vastly superior physical attributes, the black man's movements seemed like slow motion to Wen Yu.

As Wen Yu unleashed his power, all anyone saw was a shadowy blur. Then, the advancing black man was slammed to the ground, pinned beneath Wen Yu's foot like a nail! The spot on his chest where Wen Yu stomped caved in instantly. Then, the sharp steel saber plunged downwards. The ferocious force caused the earth beneath the black man's skull to explode! The black man's head, as if struck squarely by a heavy hammer, vanished.

"TSK. TSK. Some friends are really in a hurry! I haven't even finished speaking, and you're already thinking about taking the treasure. That just won't do."

Wen Yu's teasing voice rang out, followed by words that made everyone's hearts clench. "The item is right here. If you can take it, it's yours. If you can't, your life is mine. Let's see who dares to try?"

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

This lasted until more and more professionists gathered, and among them, true powerful experts began to emerge!

"Get out of the way, trash!"

With a furious shout and a miserable scream, a figure was sent flying rapidly toward Wen Yu, who easily sidestepped. The person hurtling toward Wen Yu was a professionist. Unfortunately, this flight was not of his own will; he had been kicked into the air by someone else! The force of the kick was so immense that the airborne professionist had stopped breathing even before landing!

"Just now, I think I heard someone talking, but I didn't quite catch it. Could the young man in front repeat himself?"

Accompanied by a mocking voice, a figure slowly walked through the crowd and appeared before Wen Yu! This was a young man roughly the same age as Wen Yu. The difference was that this man was very sturdy; his muscular arms were almost as thick as Wen Yu's thighs.

Wen Yu looked at the man before him, pointed to the Pandora's Magic Box not far away, then pointed to the newcomer, and uttered words that would make anyone feel exasperated. "Want the box? You're not worthy. Scram!"

The smile on the sturdy young man's face instantly vanished. He stared intently at Wen Yu's face, then, like a brown bear, swung his fist at Wen Yu!

The punch whizzed past, but Wen Yu was nowhere to be seen!

A mocking voice came from nearby: "See? I told you to scram. You didn't listen. The price for not listening to my words can be quite steep!"
