Chapter 197: Cat playing with mouse, I’ll give you victory.

The original altar.

Through analysis and investigation, Qi Sheng already knew the Lord of Paradise's new plan.

Before this, when creating players, the Lord of Bliss faced a series of unsolvable problems.

First of all, it’s the players’ feelings.

Without continuous positive feedback, if you try to create a player army like him, most of the players will run away before you even get started.

The Lord of Bliss's solution is to force players to play the death game, causing them to change from a state of enjoyment to a desire to survive under extreme pressure.

After the mode is changed, there will no longer be a problem of not being able to recruit players who are willing to die.

After all, if you complete the mission, there is still a chance of survival, but if you fail to complete the mission, there is only death.

Given the choice between the hope of living or death, the vast majority of lives will choose the former.

Secondly, there is a certain probability of loss due to transmission and death.

As a result, some players died in the teleportation and recycling stages before even entering the monster world.

The way to deal with this problem is to refine the space tunnel and reduce its structure.

This means that only a few players can be recruited at a time.

Compared with these problems, what the Lord of Bliss cares most about is the deficit in resource expenditure.

The Lord of Paradise originally planned to put this issue on hold for the time being and test the performance of Paradise players in the monster world before making a decision.

Thus, the third round of recruitment testing began.

The Lord of Bliss was furious with this round of recruitment tests.

He gave the players recruited in this round 20 resurrection opportunities and also upgraded their initial level to shieldbow level (hunting level: 35).

The result was that a large number of Paradise players still died.

He was so bad that it was unbearable to watch. He was beaten up in various ways by a family of players whose life strength was even lower than his own.

They are like a bound wild beast, with all the strength but unable to find a point to exert the strength. Every attack seems extremely strenuous and the movements are extremely unsmooth.

The test results of the Bliss players who appeared in this round were simply a waste.

A huge amount of bliss power was wasted.

This test also made the Lord of Bliss realize a problem.

The improvement of strength must be gradual, without forcing things to happen. The players of Paradise cannot control the power bestowed by it.

The third round of testing ended, and the Lord of Paradise restructured the Paradise player system.

After several Gods' meetings and internal discussions, a brand new player system came into being.

The Lord of Bliss calls it: Trial of Death.

This is also the point that made Qi Sheng applaud.

The Lord of Bliss has finally made use of his greatest advantage.

The recruitment method is still to randomly select from the mortals in the Paradise.

However, the recruited Paradise players are not sent directly to the monster world, but undergo death trials in the illusion woven by the Lord of Paradise.

The Death Trial is divided into six rounds, and only the Bliss players who complete the final trial will be sent to the monster world.

At this point, the Lord of Bliss has completely abandoned the "endless" tactics in building the player army and returned to the route of elite training.

The minutes of the Paradise Meeting recorded in the Guidance Records show that there were also voices from the thirty-two Paradise Gods asking the Lord of Paradise that since he had chosen to take the route of elite training, why not spend the training resources on his own people.

Although the number of members of the tribe is small at this stage, that is because they once took the elite training route.

If there is a demand for quantity, we can completely change the way of reproduction and implement family planning to increase the number of new generations.

The answer given by the Lord of Bliss was that he chose cruel competition where the fittest survive and selected the strong ones through the method of Gu competition.

How could one of his own people do this?

The Paradise Clan is a whole, not just its Lord of Paradise alone.

It wants to lead its people to the top of the monster world, rather than standing alone at the top of the monster world by exploiting its people.

It will not give up on the training of its tribesmen, but it still needs a more complete legion system to help.

After the meeting, the plan for the death trial was finalized.

Subsequently, the fourth round of recruitment for the Death Trial officially began.

In the first round of trials after the recruitment was opened, the Lord of Bliss did not provide any combat support to the players.

The overall performance of the Bliss players will be judged through three dimensions: combat performance, teamwork, and task completion. Then the initial enhancement resources that should have been given once will be distributed to the Bliss players in the form of points, allowing them to customize the enhancement.

The subsequent rounds of death trials were also intended to hone the willpower, combat awareness, etc. of the Bliss Warriors.

What seems like a cruel death trial to the players of Paradise is just a training course for novice warriors in the eyes of the Lord of Paradise.

As for those who are eliminated, the Lord of Bliss will wipe them out without hesitation.

Xie Yu, who followed the Lord of Bliss, asked a question during this period:
"There are many fighters with potential among those eliminated, why not give them a single chance?"

Qi Sheng was a little surprised by the Lord of Bliss’ answer.

This video was recorded by the guide.

The Lord of Bliss replied:

"Luck may seem illusory, but it is part of strength. I am sure that there is so-called luck in the monster world. The 'potential' you mentioned is certainly important, but if potential is not blessed by luck, it is like a seed dropped into a crack in a rock. No matter how tenacious it is, it will be difficult to break through the ground."

After saying this, the Lord of Bliss paused, his tone carrying a hint of cold rationality:
"In the monster world, where powerful tribes abound, there are too many forces with unlimited potential, but they fail before they even get started. In my eyes, luck and strength complement each other. Bad luck means failing to seize the favor of fate at the critical moment and failing to make the most correct choice in that ever-changing moment. This in itself is a lack of strength."

"In my eyes, a truly strong person not only has extraordinary talent and hard work, but also has the ability to seize opportunities in the torrent of fate. If you can't even do this, then the so-called 'potential' is nothing but an unfulfilled illusion."

When he said this, purple mist flowed in the eyes of the Lord of Bliss, as if he was recalling those potential forces that fell prematurely in his memory, and then continued:

"I can't prove whether fate really exists by any means, but it only favors those who can control their strength and follow their luck."

At this point, the Lord of Bliss smiled and looked at Xie Yu:

"So, don't complain about bad luck. In this cruel world battlefield, the truly strong never rely on luck, or they can always succeed by luck."

"To become a powerful clan, one must have avoided countless dangers of extinction during the course of growth."

This video footage reminded Qi Sheng of the two souls, Jiyun and Hongyun, in the soul library.

Just as the Lord of Bliss had guessed, luck really exists.

Therefore, his way of selecting strong people seems very reasonable to the guide.

At the end of the scene, the Lord of Bliss tells a short story.

It said that when it looked up the history of its home world, it saw a very familiar racial force.

This force is the descendant of the "Jixing Clan". They were once the slave force of the Jile Clan, and are now the main ethnic group in their hometown world.

Back then, there was a force that showed similar development potential as the Jixing Clan under the rule of the Jile Clan, but it was regarded as a threat by him, and eventually the entire clan was destroyed.

The Jixing tribe is very similar to that race, but today they have developed to the level of ruling their home world.

What is the difference between these two forces?
The essential difference is luck.

One rose to prominence during his development of the Elysium and was seen by him as a threat.

The Jixing tribe rose after he chose to leave, and this opportunity was "fortune".

The struggles and efforts of ethnic groups have completely different destinies in different eras.

Hard work is important, but without the blessing of "luck" at the right time, the potential displayed will only become a factor in the destruction of the group.

In a flash, I made the decision to leave the Paradise, which created a new destiny for the lower class.

When I went to the monster world, I happened to encounter the fight between the terrifying black tide and the four gods, which formed my destiny.

If I had descended into the monster world that was still controlled by the Four Gods, we would have surely died and there would have been no chance for us to gain a foothold in the monster world.

The peak battle in the monster world opened up a new world with thousands of races.

The seemingly illusory fortune is actually driven by higher-dimensional events.

No matter how much potential you have, you will never reach the top without the bonus of luck.

Therefore, when a person with potential as you say dies in the death space, it proves that he does not have enough "potential" to support him to reach a higher position.

With that, the meeting ended and the video footage faded.

The system architecture of the Paradise Players Corps was also further improved in this meeting.

Completely resolve all drawbacks and move towards an elite training route.

Through brutal competition, warriors who can stand on their own are selected.

More importantly, the warriors created by this training model all fight with the team as the core.

And these are all iron-blooded friendships established between life and death.

The team collaboration ability is far beyond the reach of ordinary player teams.

It can be said that when the "endless" characteristic could not be satisfied, the Lord of Paradise found another way and came up with a new legion system architecture.

In terms of resource consumption, the Trial of Death is a scene woven by the power of bliss and can be decomposed and returned at any time.

In terms of ability adaptation, the Trial of Death is a training ground for novices, which can train the warriors' minds and even willpower through cruel tasks.

Even if you bring money into the monster world, you will have the combat power to match the resources paid by the Lord of Bliss.

In terms of quantity, although it tends to be elite training, there are a huge number of reserve creatures in the Paradise as selection objects, and a large number of elite warriors can be created in batches.

There are many other optimizations.

For this player legion structure, the Lord of Bliss combined his most proficient illusion weaving ability.

The idea of ​​dead space was brilliant in Qi Sheng's eyes.

But he still feels that this series of architectures poses certain risks.

Thinking of this, he looked at the guiding water ball floating beside him:

"Guide, what do you think of this legion structure?"

[Very good, but there are also uncontrollable risks. The Lord of Bliss controls Bliss players by branding their spirits, and can decide the life or death of Bliss players at any time, but this is limited to the death space. If Bliss players are sent to the monster world, there are countless ways to crack the spirit brand.]

[Suppose there is such a blissful player who breaks the mental shackles through a method similar to the purification rules, then he will be completely free. ]

[There is even a small probability that this Bliss player accidentally obtained a law in the monster world, and has the growth potential to compete with the Lord of Bliss, just like the protagonist in the novel who kills the behind-the-scenes boss who controls him and completes a comeback against the odds.]

[Of course, what I have proposed are all possibilities. The specific situation depends on the Lord of Bliss's continued improvement of the player army. Perhaps he can find a way to completely solve the hidden dangers.]

Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng couldn't help but nodded.

The idea of ​​guidance is similar to his.

Death Space is a scene that runs under the will of the Lord of Bliss, and everything is under control.

But as long as the players of Paradise enter the monster world, all kinds of uncertainties will arise at any time.

There are so many ways for a Bliss player to break free from control.

For example, being captured by an ancient god and taken to the arena to duel.

Even if the Lord of Bliss has the ability, he will not go to war with the Ancient Gods for a player.

Or maybe the players of Paradise have encountered an opportunity to greatly enhance their growth potential, just like the world rules mentioned by a guide, or they may accidentally find the power of world rules left behind by a certain descending force during a mission.

After the fusion, the players of Paradise formed their own system and completely broke free from the control of the Lord of Paradise.

But apart from the potential risk of losing control, he praised the idea of ​​the Paradise Players Corps.

It is indeed being continuously improved and the drawbacks are being solved.

More importantly, he can also make use of the death space created by the Lord of Bliss, and gain considerable support resources from it.

In comparison of wealth, the Lord of Paradise runs an entertainment city in the Monster World, and the amount of resources produced daily is more than a hundred times his.

In terms of inventory resources, there is no comparison.

He is determined to get the wool from this sheep.

……

Dead Space, the ultimate test.

After the beam of light dissipated, the figures of Lin Xia and his teammates appeared.

What appeared before their eyes was a dead silent battlefield.

The sky was covered by thick lead-gray clouds. There was no sun or moon. Only dark red light seeped through the gaps in the clouds, like solidified blood.

The air was filled with the smell of rotting earth, as if the land had long been drenched in death and decay.

There was a piece of charred land under my feet, and wisps of black smoke emerged from the cracks in the ground from time to time.

In the distance, the broken city wall stood crookedly on the horizon like the skeleton of a giant beast, and the wall was covered with magic runes.

The cold wind blew on my face, bringing with it low whimpers, as if countless dead spirits were whispering in my ears.

The wind swept across the ground and picked up a cloud of ash, which swirled in the air for a long time.

Lin Xia looked at the battlefield where various broken magic equipment were scattered, his eyes swept across the cracked armor, and finally focused on the towering magic tower at the end of his sight.

The information about this mission emerged in my mind.

[Main Mission: Cursed Killing Field]:
Background introduction: The cursed ancient battlefield was once the site of a great war between gods and demons.

Main quest requirement: Destroy the enemy's magic crystal.

Mission duration: 12 days (If the winner is not determined at the end of the time, personnel from both sides will be teleported to the center of the battlefield for a decisive battle.)
Side quests (completing side quests can advance the main quest):
Magic Relics (side quest): Ancient magic devices and runes are scattered around the battlefield. After being collected, they can be used to repair the magic turrets in the area where your magic crystals are located, which can continuously cause damage to the enemy crystals.

Curse of the Undead (side quest): There are undead wandering on the battlefield that cannot die. After killing them, you can collect "Whisper of the Undead", which can be used to increase the strength of your own magic crystals. Each upgrade can bring a 5% temporary attribute gain to the whole team.

Enemy Team Name: Iron Cavalry

……

This time the mission is not that complicated.

Now there are two choices before Lin Xia.

Attack the enemy crystal in one fell swoop, or steadily advance the main line by completing side quests.

Before making a decision, he planned to test the combat effectiveness of the "Iron Cavalry" team first.

According to information collected by his teammates, members of the Iron Cavalry entered the Death Space later than him, but soared to the top of the Death Squad rankings with their amazing performance.

The strength cannot be underestimated.

According to the intelligence description, the Iron Cavalry has 27 Extreme Bliss players.

All we know is that the other team has a very powerful long-range assassin (sniper), and there is very little other information.

Except for the first round of death trials, this team did not add any new members in subsequent trials. They directly purchased the team contract at the stone tablet and signed it. There was no reduction in the number of members in the next four death trials.

But before actual contact, intelligence cannot explain anything.

He decided to test out the true strength of the Iron Cavalry first, and then consider how to advance the main mission.

If you judge that the Iron Cavalry is not as strong as yours, then destroy the magic crystal guarded by the opponent in one go and complete the ultimate trial mission.

“Everyone, check your gear!”

After hearing Lin Xia's instructions, the team members started to get busy.

"Boss, there is no problem with food reserves."

"Boss, there is no problem with the reserve of weapons repair stones."

……

After listening to his teammates' report, Lin Xia nodded indifferently, and then led the team to advance towards the opponent's stronghold.

Any undead encountered along the way will be dealt with and the "whispering energy" will be stored in the space bag.

"Boss, the other party is coming too."

As he spoke, a teammate took two steps forward, put his hand on Lin Xia's shoulder, and shared his perspective.

Suddenly Lin Xia saw a row of figures in the distance.

They all wore dark black trench coats, the hems of their coats fluttering in the wind as they walked, and each of their faces wore a mask with different characters on it.

The most eye-catching thing is the badge on their chest, which looks like a night owl with spread wings, and its eyes are inlaid with blood-red gems, flashing red light.

There was a line of small words engraved below the badge. The handwriting was unclear, but it made Lin Xia feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

At this moment, Lin Xia suddenly turned her head.

Snapped!
After a crisp sound, a fiery red arrow appeared in front of the toes, and the tail of the arrow trembled in the air.

Lin Xia's eyes turned cold.

The attack could have been aimed at his forehead, but it was deliberately missed. It was obvious that the Iron Cavalry was deliberately provoking him.

"retreat!"

Realizing that the Iron Cavalry wanted to start a direct battle, Lin Xia chose to retreat to the defense area protected by magic turrets for the sake of caution.

This arrow made Lin Xia feel the pressure brought by the Iron Cavalry Squad.

The opponent has a very strong long-range assassin who is fully capable of quickly killing members of his own team.

Back in the defense area, Lin Xia gave orders.

Decide on division of labor and cooperation.

Considering that the other side has powerful point-killing personnel, it has been decided for the time being that melee players will go out hunting to complete repeatable side quests.

All other auxiliary-type Paradise players should stay in the defense zone to prevent being killed by those outside.

Before you kill the opponent with a powerful snipe and eliminate this dangerous point, you must act with caution.

But Lin Xia's thoughts quickly changed in the subsequent collision and confrontation.

The first direct confrontation came the next day.

Lin Xia led 12 team members to collect magic turret resources on the ruins battlefield, when a teammate suddenly reminded them:
"Boss, five members of the Iron Cavalry are approaching."

Upon hearing that the other side only had five members, Lin Xia was stunned at first, unable to understand why the other side chose such a reckless way of attack.

Are you really so confident in your own abilities?

With doubts, he decided to try to contact the attacking members of the Iron Cavalry.

Soon, five figures appeared in sight.

The figure in the lead was wearing a colorful mask. His body gradually accelerated as he ran, and his gloved right arm slowly raised.

Lin Xia decisively activated the Berserker talent.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated and his body began to change drastically.

The clothes that originally fit the body were instantly torn into pieces under the impact of the powerful force bursting out from the body.

The muscles beneath the skin squirmed like living things, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The muscles on his arms bulge high like pieces of hard rock, and the blue veins are like winding snakes, clearly visible on the surface of the skin.

The sense of power brought by the expansion made Lin Xia let out a low roar.

His chest heaved violently, and his pectoral muscles expanded outward like two huge shields, squeezing out the surrounding air with a popping sound.

Even the neck became thicker during the frenzy, and the muscles on it were like steel cables, tightly wrapped together.

"Explode!" Facing the figure attacking from the front, Lin Xia chose to collide head-on with his strongest physical strength.

A heavy punch was thrown, and a bloody airflow tore through the air, colliding with the fist of the leading figure.

boom!
The collision of this punch created a violent airflow.

What surprised Lin Xia was that the power he was so proud of did not give him much advantage.

He and the leader of the cavalry squad retreated at the same time, their legs plowing two traces extending backwards on the ground.

"Good!" A voice came from under the mask.

"Since you're here, don't leave." Lin Xia said in a cold voice, and her body was like a tank rolling forward, crashing straight into the leading figure.

But just as he took three steps forward, he felt the sound of wind breaking from the side, and his head dropped sharply.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking wind passed over the head, cutting off several strands of hair.

A pitch-black figure approached him at some point and almost stabbed him in the temple.

Lin Xia twisted her body, grabbed the ankle of the figure beside her, and slammed him to the ground.

But the sound of breaking wind came from the right again.

Lin Xia did not dodge. Instead, he locked the Iron Cavalry melee assassin's ankle with his fingers and smashed him to the ground.

He has confidence in his teammates.

Just as he guessed, the attack from the right did not hit him, but was intercepted by his teammates.

boom!
Lin Xia knocked the assassin to the ground, and then stepped down hard with his thick right leg.

A dent appeared on the ground and the assassin who was hit let out a muffled groan.

"Come die!"

The ability was activated, and a bloody angry dragon wrapped around Lin Xia's right arm and smashed into the assassin's head, causing the Iron Cavalry assassin's head to explode.

He turned his head suddenly and found that the two teammates who had been defending him from the attack had been pierced through the chest.

This made Lin Xia's eyes red, and the anger in her heart suddenly rose.

"kill!"

Faced with the violent Lin Xia, the four members of the Iron Cavalry Team retreated suddenly.

But Lin Xia only chased for two steps before suddenly stopping.

"Boss, don't fall into an ambush. This raid is too strange. I'm afraid it's a trick."

After hearing the reminder from his teammates, Lin Xia suppressed his anger and stopped decisively.

Five death trials made him understand what it means to take a wrong step in a competitive environment.

He must be cautious and must not let his anger control his thoughts.

Looking into the distance, the four members of the Iron Cavalry Team ran away and suddenly turned around and applauded him:
"Very strong, not bad."

Lin Xia did not answer, but stared at the four figures with cold eyes.

The body stopped frenzy and gradually returned to normal. A team member stepped forward and handed over new clothes.

In the initial fight, the Iron Cavalry lost one assassin, but his team lost two powerful melee fighters.

Lin Xia looked at a young figure in the team:
"Yehu, what do you say?"

"The positions of the five members of the opponent are the main melee fighter, two assassins, and two secondary fighters. In terms of ability usage, the fighter who will confront the captain head-on should have a melee talent, similar to the captain's berserk ability. The second abilities to be used should be: Blood Boiling, Bull Charge, Skull Crushing Strike..."

After listening to their teammates’ analysis, the abilities of these five members of the Iron Cavalry Team became concrete.

The final conclusion is that the five members of the Iron Cavalry Team are slightly weaker than the captain, but stronger than the other members of their team.

If all members of the Iron Cavalry were this strong, they would surely be defeated in a head-on confrontation.

After Ye Hu, who was in charge of the analysis, finished the ability portrait, he smiled and said:

"Of course, Captain, you always display extraordinary strength when you are in desperate situations. You should be able to fight against three of them."

Lin Xia did not answer, but watched the members of the Iron Cavalry Team going away.

time flies.

In the following confrontation, Lin Xia's pressure increased day by day.

The Iron Cavalry gave him the feeling that they were playing a game, enjoying the confrontation process with a cat-and-mouse-like sense of humor.

Destroy their confidence through torture and teasing.

There were several times when he could have killed his teammates who were out exploring the battlefield, but he chose to let them go on purpose.

The same was true of the several head-on collisions with him. Each time, they would evacuate urgently when he went into a violent state, which made him feel frustrated that he had the energy but was unable to use it.

As he gradually got to know the Iron Cavalry, the Iron Cavalry were also constantly understanding their team configuration.

The Iron Cavalry's secret long-range assassin was like a sword hanging over the team's head, making him dare not send out his own auxiliary players easily.

Even if you don't take action, it can bring extreme pressure.

The more Lin Xia learned, the more terrifying she felt the Iron Cavalry was.

They are like omnipresent ghosts on the battlefield, always able to launch attacks unexpectedly.

The most terrifying thing about the Iron Cavalry Team, besides its combat capability, is that its members are ready to sacrifice at any time to advance the plan.

For example, in the last round.

They finally forced a member of the Iron Cavalry into a desperate situation, but at this time they received news that the magic crystal in the rear was attacked.

When they killed the Iron Cavalry member and rushed back, they found that they had lost 6 auxiliary players.

Another time, he planned a carefully planned raid.

They even sent out some forces to pretend to engage in battlefield activities, but in fact they quietly launched a surprise attack in a corner of the battlefield where a large amount of debris was piled up.

After receiving clear reminders from teammates, members of the Iron Cavalry Team have already set out.

But when they launched the offensive as planned, they found that the members of the Iron Cavalry who had gone out had returned and were waiting for their attack.

The surprise attack was easily resolved, and another 8 members were killed in the battle.

The Iron Cavalry only lost two members.

The advantage in numbers is getting smaller and smaller in the contest, and our advantage is disappearing.

Faced with difficulties, Lin Xia chose to take advantage of the numerical advantage and change from head-on confrontation to tactical operations.

Collect as many resources on the battlefield as possible and improve the attributes of your own personnel.

But as time went on, Lin Xia discovered that even in the collection of resources, his side, which had the advantage in numbers, was at a disadvantage.

Faced with a desperate situation, Lin Xia knew that she had to make a decision.

There are still five days left until the end of the main mission. If the current trend continues, the Iron Cavalry Squad's battlefield advantage will continue to expand.

When the final battle is forced to begin, there is a high possibility that they will fail.

Instead of waiting for the other party to gradually become stronger, it is better to give it a try.

Bet everything and have a peak contest in advance.

After telling his teammates about this idea, they all shared the same idea.

Faced with the Iron Cavalry Team's cat-and-mouse tactical operations, their situation will only get worse when the final battle begins.

It would be better to start the final battle in advance and target the Iron Cavalry's magic crystal.

That night, Lin Xia led the team like a group of night cheetahs, rushing towards the Iron Cavalry's defense zone.

With the help of the "Wind Howling Array" activated by teammates, the movement speed of team members continued to increase.

But the expressions of all the team members seemed extremely solemn, and their heartbeats were as fast as the roar of war drums.

They all understood what this battle meant.

Even if they can win, it will be a pyrrhic victory, and most of their members will die in this battle.

"If I can survive, I will definitely revive you."

Lin Xia spoke at this time.

He knew what the players were thinking.

Before the final battle, he has to give his team members the courage to continue fighting.

So "resurrection" is a good reason.

In Dead Space, there are special items that can be used to revive team members by spending points.

Although he wanted to eliminate some of the players, he also wanted to keep some of them.

But no matter what, he has to give positive feedback to all team members to boost their confidence.

50 minute later.

Lin Xia led the team to break into the Iron Cavalry's defense zone.

Just as he expected, members of the Iron Cavalry were already waiting there.

The leading figure wore a black mask.

Lin Xia waved her hand and the formation unfolded.

The turrets in the Iron Cavalry's defense zone automatically charged and aimed at them.

"Tsk, it seems you can't wait to die." The figure wearing a smiley mask standing next to the leading figure sneered.

Lin Xia didn't say anything and instantly activated the Berserker talent.

With the surge of muscles, the body quickly rose up and charged towards the Iron Cavalry using itself as a spearhead.

The war is about to start.

This was the first time Lin Xia fought against the captain of the Iron Cavalry Team.

After only a few encounters, Lin Xia found himself completely at a disadvantage in terms of fighting skills.

But in terms of strength attributes, I am better.

what!
With a loud shout, Lin Xia lifted up the captain of the Iron Cavalry with the posture of a king lifting a tripod.

The team member's power-enhancing aura enveloped him at this moment. As his strength increased dramatically, Lin Xia pressed down with both arms. His right knee, which was ready to strike, was like a cannonball, heading straight for the waist and abdomen of the Iron Cavalry captain.

At this moment, the Iron Cavalry Captain's arms tightly clamped around his neck, and he leaned his body backward, destroying his balance and neutralizing his fatal attack.

boom!
A flaming arrow hit his forehead and Lin Xia took several steps back.

The Iron Cavalry Captain took advantage of the situation and punched him on the neck, breaking free when he relaxed his strength.

The players from both teams also fought at this time.

But judging from the combat power, it was a completely one-sided massacre.

Apart from his ability to fight against the players of the Iron Cavalry, his teammates are no match for the Iron Cavalry members in terms of strength.

The number of staff continued to decrease during this period.

At this time, Lin Xia was also surrounded by three people.

Faced with a desperate situation, the ferocity in Lin Xia's heart was activated again. Like a trapped beast, he continued to squeeze out his body's potential.

The three members of the Iron Cavalry were unable to do anything to Lin Xia, who had amazing defense and physical strength, during the siege.

……

After one hour.

Lin Xia, whose strength was almost exhausted, was still holding on, and more than half of the soldiers on both sides had been killed or injured.

Lin Xia's figure headed straight for the magic crystal deep in the defense area.

He didn't dare to look back.

Knowing that teammates are being slaughtered by the Iron Cavalry.

This is the final tactic.

The team member chose to sacrifice himself to delay the offensive of the Iron Cavalry player and buy him time to destroy the magic crystal.

Finally, the magic crystal appeared in sight.

This is a diamond-shaped crystal that is one person tall. It is suspended at the end of the defense zone and is shining brilliantly all over.

Lin Xia raised his head and drank a bottle of potion, then forced himself to enter the berserker mode that was about to be automatically canceled, and launched an attack on the magic crystal.

One punch, two punches...energy fragments flew on the magic crystal, and Lin Xia was covered in blood, looking like a madman.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a sound of breaking wind on the back of his head.

The head jerked.

boom!
The punch hit the magic crystal, splashing colorful debris.

Turning his head, he saw the captain of the Iron Cavalry standing behind him, his expression invisible because of the mask on his face.

Lin Xia twisted her hips to gain leverage and punched the Iron Cavalry captain in the chest, knocking him away, then turned around and continued to beat up the magic crystal.

Snapped!
Lin Xia's lower body was swept up and her body tilted.

He reacted quickly, supporting himself with one hand and pushing forward, then flipping over and landing steadily.

The cavalry captain approached, their fists pressed together, and both sides retreated at the same time.

Knowing that his plan to destroy the crystal would be difficult to carry out if he didn't deal with the Iron Cavalry captain, Lin Xia roared, lowered his head and charged like a beast.

One punch, two punches, three punches...an extreme physical collision, and neither side dodged.

But Lin Xia's fists became weaker during the fight.

The countdown to the berserker state began, and Lin Xia's body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. His weakened strength made his attacks no longer threatening.

Feeling weak, he swung his fist again, but was easily caught by the Iron Cavalry Captain, who then threw him over his shoulder and threw him into the air, smashing him heavily to the ground.

But the attack was not over yet. The captain of the Iron Cavalry grabbed his right hand and did not let go, and pulled it hard with the force.

Lin Xia's body suddenly turned, and was met with a forward knee strike from the Iron Cavalry captain.

Snapped!
Lin Xia's front teeth were broken, and she felt dizzy and smelled the scent of death.

"you lose."

The Iron Cavalry Captain loosened his hand and said jokingly in a light-hearted tone, but he couldn't help coughing violently while speaking, and it was obvious that he was also seriously injured.

"Didn't lose!"

Lin Xia, trembling, tried to stand up.

He has put in countless efforts to get to where he is now.

After each death trial, he would use up points to go to the training space for high-intensity training in order to stay alive.

He wouldn't allow himself to fall here.

Even if you only have one breath left, you must continue to fight.

At this moment, the remaining teammates of the Iron Cavalry Team also arrived and stood beside the Iron Cavalry captain.

All his team members were killed, but there were still 7 people left in the Iron Cavalry Team. The outcome of this battle was clear.

"Haha...you're worthy of being the number one cavalry." Lin Xia struggled to stand up, but his eyes were still burning with the will to continue fighting.

"kill!"

With an angry shout, Lin Xia launched an attack on the cavalry captain.

Snapped!
At this moment, the Iron Cavalry Captain raised his foot and kicked Lin Xia directly in the abdomen, sending him flying several meters away.

But Lin Xia staggered to his feet again, feeling a ball of endless anger burning in his heart.

The Iron Cavalry did not choose to kill him, but continued to tease him like a cat playing with mouse, which was obviously an insult to him.

Just as Lin Xia took a deep breath and wanted to fight again, he heard the teammate next to the Iron Cavalry Captain suddenly speak:
"Captain, let's stop playing."

"Yes." The captain of the Iron Cavalry, who was called the head of the regiment, nodded, then took off his mask, revealing a head full of silver-white hair. At this time, he looked at Lin Xia with admiration, who was still burning with fighting spirit:
"You are a respectable warrior. You never surrendered until your death. Your eyes are filled with determination to face death. You win this round."

"What do you mean?" Lin Xia asked coldly.

The Iron Cavalry Captain turned aside at this moment, making way for the magic crystal:
"What I mean is, you win this game."

This answer stunned Lin Xia.

"Then...what about you guys?"

"With so many members dead, of course we have to go home. We don't have time to play with you anymore."

A figure beside the Iron Cavalry Captain took off his mask, revealing an old face, and then looked at him with appreciation and nodded.

"Stop talking nonsense and get started."

Lin Xia didn't understand, but he still wanted to live.

Struggling to get up, he walked to the crystal and punched it again and again.

Blood splattered and thoughts surged.

When only the last layer of the crystal was left, Lin Xia suddenly withdrew his hand and turned to look at the yawning Iron Cavalry Captain:

"If I punch you like this, you will all die because of mission failure."

"Okay, go ahead. We are used to death, so this time won't make a difference." A team member next to the Iron Cavalry captain urged impatiently.

Although he didn't understand what these words meant, Lin Xia didn't hesitate. He turned around and punched the crystal.

Click!

The crystal shattered, and he heard a voice behind him:

"My name is Li Tie. Perhaps we will have a chance to meet again. Congratulations on clearing the level, Echo."

……

The main hall of paradise.

Looking at the missing resource data information, the Lord of Bliss fell into deep thought.

Dead Space has never been run wrong.

But something unexpected happened just now.

The resources that were supposed to be decomposed and recycled after players failed the trial mission in Paradise actually disappeared.

More importantly, the team that disappeared was the one currently ranked first.

After they died, the resources consumed to strengthen them also disappeared.

Even the consciousness of the Iron Cavalry members disappeared and was not recovered by the consciousness crystal.

This was a team of bliss warriors that he was very optimistic about and had high hopes for.

It was thought that they would become Echoers after this round of trials, but they failed strangely and disappeared strangely.

The sudden change left the Lord of Bliss dumbfounded.

At the same time, the members of the veteran corps who returned to the Tezuka Village space heard a reminder in their minds that the hidden mission had been completed.

Each member gained more than 100,000 sacrificial power.

But their figures did not appear at the resurrection point, but were sent directly into a small dark room.
