The second round’s reward was generous, which meant that the last round would be even more generous.
He checked the item’s attributes.
[ strength pill ]: after consumption, strength +5;
[ experience scroll ], contains 10000 experience points, can be used immediately.
After looking at the item’s attributes, li xiaonian silently handed the [ strength pill ] and the [ experience scroll ] to MA pingchu.
Naturally, MA pingchu did not stand on ceremony and accepted the item. When he saw the details of the item, he frowned.
Li xiaonian thought for a moment and then traded the [ undead gaze ] and the sniper rifle to the other party. He explained,”The big gift bag gave an attribute bonus, [ cultivation speed +2 ], which can’t be traded. I’ll return this sniper rifle to you and give you another 80000 domain coins.”
Without waiting for the other party to answer, li xiaonian transferred 80000 to MA pingchu and returned 100000 to Feng Ling. He explained, ” 80000 domain coins is all I have. If you think it’s not enough, how much more do you need? just tell me.
Cultivation speed +2. This attribute was closely related to the real world. The ultimate goal of the players who fought in the game was nothing more than to obtain the increase in cultivation speed.
Such an attribute could no longer be measured with money.
The two of them didn’t have much contact. In order to increase their trust, li xiaonian sent a picture of the contents of the big mystery bag after opening it, as well as his account balance.
“……”
MA pingchu’s mouth twitched. you’re too serious. You could’ve just left and not given me a single cent. I’m just a stranger.
Although he said that, he was overjoyed in his heart. Such a bountiful harvest was beyond his imagination. He had only been in star field for slightly more than a month, and he had already made a huge fortune that others would not be able to make in their lifetime.
After some thought, MA pingchu transferred the 60000 domain coins to li xiaonian. “20000 domain coins is enough. Without you, I wouldn’t even have passed the first level. I shouldn’t have accepted the 20000 domain coins, but I’m short of money now.”
“If that’s the case, I won’t stand on ceremony,” li xiaonian said with a smile.
After saying that, li xiaonian looked straight at Feng Ling, who had a conflicted expression on her face, and said, beauty, did you see that? he’s short of money now. I know you’re definitely not willing to hand over the treasure you’ve got. It’s not impossible to give him money, but if you give him too little, I’ll seriously doubt your character.
Feng Ling’s face was constipated. She gritted her teeth and said, ” “500000 domain coins, that’s my limit.”
Five hundred thousand?
MA pingchu’s heart was pounding uncontrollably.
On the other hand, li xiaonian had a look of disdain on his face.”You’re willing to spend 100000 domain coins to put a bounty on someone else. Although I don’t know what you’ve obtained, I’m sure it’s worth more than 500000 domain coins.”
Hearing this, MA pingchu wished he could stuff li xiaonian’s mouth with his hand.’Brother, don’t say anymore. 500000 domain coins is already a sky-high price. If I ask for too much, they’ll turn on me and refuse to give me a single cent. I’ll lose a lot of money.’
Ding …
“680000 domain coins have been transferred to your account,” the system said.
With the domain currency in hand, MA pingchu was 180000 more than the promised 500000. He was instantly overjoyed and smiled.”Aiya, you’re too polite. Thank you.”
Feng Ling glared at li xiaonian. I gave him 680 thousand. That’s all I have.
“Hehe.”
Li xiaonian shrugged. I really thought you had an endless amount of money to spend. I didn’t expect you to be so mediocre.
“You!”
Feng Ling wanted to tear li xiaonian’s mouth apart.
Was 680,000 domain coins a small amount? The players in star field were all strong players in the real world. They definitely did not lack money. However, 99.99% of the players would never be able to earn that much in their entire lives.
On the other side.
When the Dragon players heard li xiaonian’s group of three calling for a deal of 500000 and 680000, they were both angry and jealous.
damn it, the bloody road’s rewards are so generous. It’s so cheap for these weak humans. If it wasn’t for shadow, the rewards of the bloody road would definitely be monopolized by our dragon clan.
“What a generous reward.”
if the reward wasn’t generous, the leader wouldn’t have had to stay in the novice village for so many years. But now, with the dark shadow stirring things up, the leader’s hundreds of years of preparation has all been wasted.
it’s not a waste. The leader will definitely not fail in the last round. The netherworld passage is a competition of strength. The leader will definitely win.
……
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Ding …
The system said, ” the bloody path-[ netherworld passage ] has been activated. The first one to reach the end will be the champion.
A void portal appeared in front of each player. As long as they entered, they would be able to step into the netherworld passage.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Dragon players didn’t hesitate and entered the void gate immediately.
A portion of the remaining hundreds of players charged in, but most of them waited where they were, looking at each other.
Li xiaonian and the other two were no exception.
Just from the name, one could tell that the netherworld passage was narrow. If one entered too quickly, they would only be killed by the Dragon race players.
“I don’t think we’ll be meeting the dragon clan so soon.” Windling said, embarrassed.
MA pingchu nodded. I don’t think so. If we encounter the dragon clan so quickly, the last trial would be too unfair.
Li xiaonian agreed. that’s fine. Let’s go in together. I hope we can contact each other inside. It’ll be perfect if we can take the top three again.
There was a flash.
Li xiaonian and the other two appeared in a narrow corridor one after another.
It looked small, but it was actually more than 60 meters wide. However, there were too many players, and it suddenly felt crowded.
Ding …
The system said,’you’ve entered the netherworld passage. All players in the netherworld passage have the same appearance and appearance. Inside the netherworld passage, any information or content that reveals one’s identity will be blocked and can not be transmitted.”
He looked around.
Li xiaonian heaved a long sigh of relief.
There were many players, but all of them had the same appearance, height, and even equipment. He opened his friend list, but the communication function was greyed out and could not be used.
Seeing this, li xiaonian heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, it’s good, it’s good. No one knows who they’re facing here. This way, we won’t be surrounded by the dragon clan. We can fish in troubled waters and maybe even get a ranking.
Li xiaonian’s smile made the surrounding players look very strange.
One of them pointed at li xiaonian and said in a deep voice,”This fellow is definitely not from our dragon clan. Everyone, keep an eye on him.”
Buzzzzzz!
Dozens of people were staring at li xiaonian.
Li xiaonian’s face stiffened, but he quickly responded, shut up! I’m an Ying, so I’m your enemy. You’re just a bunch of small fries, and you want to provoke me? ”
After saying that, li xiaonian’s eyes were fixed on the crowd’s reaction.
In fact, the players around only heard the word ‘shut up’. After that, because of the rules, all information regarding identity disclosure was blocked, and no one could hear anything.
Li xiaonian was overjoyed to see everyone’s confused reaction.
Pa!
A slap was sent flying, and the leading player was kicked away.
Li xiaonian’s actions were completely in line with the reaction of a proud Dragon.
This time, the surrounding people couldn’t help but be confused. Could it be that this guy in front of them wasn’t a human, but a higher-up of our dragon clan?
Li xiaonian didn’t want the dragon clan to be United.
“Ahem.”
Li xiaonian coughed, raised his hand, and shouted, ” “Everyone, shut up and let me finish.”
Everyone looked at li xiaonian in unison.
Under everyone’s gaze, li xiaonian slowly said,”Since we can’t tell who’s a Dragon and who’s a human in the last round, there’s no need for us to be conflicted. We’ll just charge forward and reach the finish line. With the dragon clan’s strength, it’s bound to win the championship. Therefore, everyone should fight for themselves and rely on their own abilities. Perhaps, the champion of this round will be one of you.”
Ying Long’s expression changed drastically when he heard li xiaonian’s words.
“Shut up! This guy must be a human! Don’t listen to his nonsense!” The Dragon roared.
Li xiaonian didn’t deny it. Instead, he laughed.”So what if you’re a Dragon? so what if you’re a human? In this place, no one knew who was who. With the level of confidentiality, even if they won the championship, it would not be announced. So, why did the Kings and Marquises have to stay here and kill each other? Even if you win the championship, as long as you don’t say it, no one else will know. So, everyone’s worries are unnecessary.”
“……”
“……”
“……”
Most of the players present fell silent.
that’s right. Why? why do we have to fight here and waste so much effort to encircle and annihilate the human race while the leader can charge forward without any hesitation? ”
that’s right. We don’t know each other anyway. If I can win the championship, I’ll be powerful and become a noble. Strength is everything.
“Do the Kings and nobles have balls? That’s right, no one is born to be a king. As long as I’m strong enough, I can definitely do it too.”
……
In the crowd, the Dragon saw everyone’s reaction and was so angry that he almost vomited blood. However, he had no choice but to comfort everyone.”Everyone, don’t listen to his nonsense. Whoever dares to disobey the leader’s orders will face the consequences.”
It would have been fine if Yinglong hadn’t said anything, but the moment he did, everyone was instantly filled with anger. In this place, who was who? anyway, no one could recognize who was who, so who was afraid of who?
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
……
With someone leading the charge, the players behind him also charged forward. At this moment, they couldn’t care less.
Li xiaonian wanted to leave, but there were five to six players staring at him. These people were clearly Zhulong’s loyal subordinates who had to carry out all the orders of their leader.
“A divine artifact!” Li xiaonian said in shock as he looked ahead.
His expression was so subtle that many people followed li xiaonian’s gaze and looked over. What they saw made their faces turn black. There was no divine weapon in front of them. It was a crowd of people.
He came back to his senses.
The crowd had already lost sight of li xiaonian. At this moment, li xiaonian followed the stream of people and charged forward.
Ding …
The system replied, [ you have escaped from the safe zone. ]
The moment he left the safety range …
Whoosh!
A fireball spell fell from the sky.
BOOM!
-50
The fireball exploded behind li xiaonian and took quite a bit of damage. However, no one could see the magnitude of the damage, because the players who were caught in the explosion also didn’t have a damage indicator above their heads.
“F * ck, you dare to kill me? I’ll kill you.”
Li xiaonian didn’t get angry. Instead, he felt that he was being attacked by a player for no reason. He was instantly enraged and turned around to fight back.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, li xiaonian rushed out of the corridor. At the end of the corridor, there were three caves. Without any hesitation, li xiaonian turned into the cave with the least number of players.
They entered the cave.
What came into view was a tall mechanical puppet. It was more than ten meters tall and had ten arms, each holding a huge weapon. It was spinning quickly on the spot.
The eighteen weapons spun and cut without any pattern.
Puchi!
BOOM!
……
The players who had just entered were unable to Dodge in time and were immediately hit by a destructive attack. With just a touch, most of the players disappeared, and only a few survived.
Seeing that the weapon was about to scratch him, li xiaonian could only jump up and down on the spot. It was already very difficult for him to Dodge, and he couldn’t move forward at all.
“Little ya, help me think of a way to break this Golem.” Li xiaonian immediately asked Xiaoya for help.
“Captain, please wait a moment. Xiao Ya is calculating.”
A moment later, Xiao Ya said, ” the iron hammer. Rotate the iron hammer to one side and take a blow from the iron hammer. Grab it and swing it over. This level should be related to the profession. The success rate is about 60%.
“Alright, I’ll do as you say and leave it to fate.”
The huge iron hammer spun toward him. Li xiaonian didn’t Dodge it. Instead, he spread his arms.
Bang! Bang!
Li xiaonian’s face turned pale from the pain, but he wasn’t hurt at all. At the same time, he clutched the iron hammer tightly.
The mechanical marionette spun, and Li xiaonian followed the iron hammer, swinging half a circle and rolling forward.
“Phew …”
it’s finally over. Xiao Ya, you’re the best.
Li xiaonian was overjoyed.
When the players at the back saw that li xiaonian had successfully made it through, they mimicked li xiaonian and opened their arms, wanting to grab the iron hammer. With a bang, they were killed.
“Hehe.”
Li xiaonian smiled and continued walking.
In front of them, the number of players had decreased significantly.
For the sake of the championship, everyone restrained each other and didn’t kill each other.
However, as long as they entered the cave, they would definitely face a barrier.
With Xiaoya’s help and no enemies around, li xiaonian managed to overcome the obstacles.
Either answer the questions with intelligence, test your endurance, or test your willpower and endure the pain and torture.
The deeper they went, the more dangerous it was.
The real danger came from the players around them. No one who could reach or enter the depths was weak. In order to reduce the number of competitors, those who were confident in their own strength would mercilessly attack the players around them.
Bang! Bang!
BOOM!
Kachaa!
……
At this moment, li xiaonian was engaged in a life-and-death battle with an enemy.
He didn’t know who the other party was, and the other party didn’t know who li xiaonian was.
Bang! Bang!
Li xiaonian’s rod hit the other party, and a faint lightning flashed.
[ paralyze ]: passive skill. When the weapon hits the target, there is a 20% chance to paralyze the target. Lasts for 0.1 seconds.
When the passive skills touched, li xiaonian’s legs viciously lashed out.
Bang!
The attack was successful, and the other party was sent flying a few meters, rolling on the ground.
“Stop!”
Mo Hu endured the pain and stopped him, ” you’re not weak. I’m sure we’re all on the same side. If we continue to fight, it’ll only benefit others.
It was too brutal. Even though he was a Dragon, his lower body was still a weakness. In particular, his opponent’s long saber had a numbing effect.
It was worth mentioning that in the netherworld passage, all the players ‘weapons were displayed as long swords. Other than the player himself, no one else knew what the weapon’s true appearance was.
Li xiaonian was overjoyed. He said expressionlessly, ” “Sure.”
Of course, he knew what the other party was talking about. The other party must have thought that he was a Dragon. After all, his defense was very high and his HP was not low. He met the standards of a Dragon.
After saying that, li xiaonian took the opportunity to drink a recovery potion to recover his HP, which had almost reached the bottom.
He had been so close to being eliminated. Fortunately, the other party had no desire to continue fighting and did not continue.
Mo Hu glanced at li xiaonian and said, ” “You can go in. I’ll guard here. We can’t let any rats fish in troubled waters and steal our fruits.”
“Yeah.”
Li xiaonian nodded and walked forward slowly. At the same time, he looked at the other party vigilantly, afraid that the other party would launch a sneak attack.
Li xiaonian couldn’t tell why the other party was so calm.
In order to be safe, li xiaonian stopped and sighed.”Forget it, you go first, I’ll go later. You go in first, it’s my turn to guard here. If I run into my own people, I’ll move forward. You’re right about one thing, we can’t let the little mouse in.”
Hearing this, mo Hu finally let go of his killing intent.
The dragon clan had their own pride. If li xiaonian swaggered away like this, he would definitely kill him. The result would be the same even if he was one of his own.
He was in such a hurry to go deeper. Clearly, he wanted to snatch the championship from the leader. He would never allow such a selfish member of the dragon clan.
“You can go in. I’ll stand guard here. You’re not weak, but compared to me, you’re still lacking.” Mo Hu waved his hand, signaling li xiaonian to enter.
“This … Are you sure you’ll be fine by yourself?” Li xiaonian replied hypocritically.
Mo Hu was slightly taken aback. from what you’ve said, it’s indeed safer to have two people. Since that’s the case, you stay here and guard this place with me. When we leave the netherworld passage, I’ll report your contribution.
“……”
Li xiaonian wished he could give himself a big slap.
How despicable, why did I say so much?
