This assassin is upright

Chapter 239: The Remains and the Slate (asking for monthly tickets!)

"Eh eh eh?!"

When Xue Jiajia's eyes met with the guarding stone statue, she realized that something was wrong. A trace of panic appeared on her face. She was about to say something, but she felt that she had been locked by an invisible mechanism.

As the son of God of the second divine zone with a mysterious origin, Xue Jiajia is not completely unable to resist the teleportation ability of the guarding stone statue.

For example, the item [Space Ban] that was just used on Lu Wen, if she used it on herself, it would make the guarding stone statue fail to teleport.

But this disposable prop is very precious, Xue Jiajia herself doesn't have many, and it requires some preparation to use, and it's too late now.

Feeling the irresistible teleportation force coming down, Xue Jiajia's expression instantly became sad and angry.

"My cook—"

With a loud shout, her figure instantly disappeared from the spot under the power of teleportation, leaving only Yu Zhun and a few others in silence.

A pitch-black portal opened, and Yu Zhu walked out of the hidden world. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xue Jiajia leave.

An opponent who could make her unable to use all her skills restrained her so much that she even had a psychological trauma.

Unless her talent level is higher than Xue Jiajia's in the future and she can be immune to the opponent's invalidation, she will never face Xue Jiajia again!
"What a formidable opponent."

Hermod couldn't help but sighed, "I didn't expect that there would be a son of God of Xue Jiajia's level in the Second Divine District."

"The first three divine regions often act together. If the second divine region comes, the first and third divine regions will probably not be absent."

Thinking of this, Hermod's expression became more serious.

Originally, he thought that with the strength of the five of them, they would be able to suppress all opponents in this cross-server perfect first-clear competition.

Unexpectedly, the five of them together could only barely teleport Xue Jiajia away instead of defeating her head-on.

If the people sent by the other two divine regions were also so powerful.

There is little hope for this strategy.

In the 4A copy, the strength of the attacking team itself is ultimately the most critical factor in determining victory or defeat.

Just as he was thinking about it, a hand patted his shoulder.

It’s Lu Wen.

"Don't be so pessimistic!" As the one who was beaten the hardest by Xue Jiajia, Lu Wen was actually smiling at this moment, "Xue Jiajia was hit by the [Unfortunate Flashlight] and was hit by three rounds of [Withered Revolver]."

"The teleportation just now is likely to have teleported her to the Sons of God in the other two divine regions."

"Just let them fight among themselves, isn't that enough?"

"And it's not that we are completely helpless against Xue Jiajia." Yu Zhun smiled and said, "It's just that there is no need."

Without knowing Xue Jiajia's trump card and with still a long time to fully conquer the dungeon, it is not a wise choice to use all your trump cards to fight to the death with such an opponent, which will end up injuring a thousand enemies and causing eight hundred casualties.

Three rounds of [Withered Revolver] plus [Unfortunate Flashlight] were enough for Xue Jiajia to bear.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhun seemed to be thinking about something.

"I wonder who Xue Jiajia will be teleported to?"
-
[Withered Ruins] Another location in the copy.

A man walked in the front with a calm look on his face, and behind him, four players followed closely.

Unlike the calm leading man, the four players behind him had worried expressions on their faces.

More than half a month has passed since I entered the dungeon.

But in the past half month, their progress has not been fast.

The reason is also very simple.

Because their captain has a poor sense of direction.

They have to go around the road that others have walked once four or five times before they can find a new road. With this back and forth, it is natural that they cannot complete the journey quickly.

Fortunately, [Withered Ruins] is a collection copy.

In order to achieve a perfect first-pass across servers, all the [Withered Slate Fragments] must be collected, which means that as long as they have the fragments, other players will never be able to achieve a perfect first-pass across servers.

The only thing they need to worry about is whether there will be a team of raiders who will clear the level by normal clearance before them.

If this is the case, there will be no talk of a perfect first-pass across servers.

However, as far as they know, the other two top three divine areas have also sent divine-level players into this dungeon.

With them around, it would be absolutely impossible for anyone to pass the customs normally.

Therefore, although the four were helpless, they were not particularly anxious.

Since you have a master at home, just let others wait.

"tread--"

The sound of light footsteps interrupted the four people's thoughts.

Ji Chen, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

In front of him was a fork in the road.

The four people who also stopped looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, their eye contact was going on quickly.

"Guess which way he's going this time?"

"I feel like I should go to the right, after all, he ended up stepping out with his right foot."

"Then I guess the left side is better. I've walked the right side twice, but the left side has only been walked once..."

Just as the four of them were communicating secretly, Ji Chen in front of them suddenly clapped his hands, "I remember!"

"We've walked through this fork once!"

The four people behind him: “…”

Strictly speaking, I walked there three times.

But forget it, it's not important.

"Master Ji Chen, which direction do you plan to choose this time?" one of them asked curiously.

Hearing this, Ji Chen was silent for a moment, as if he was lost in thought.

After a moment, his eyes lit up and he had an idea.

Noticing the change in Ji Chen's expression, the four of them felt a jolt in their hearts.

Without waiting for the four to speak, Ji Chen had already pointed confidently to the fork in the road.

"Let's go this way!"

After saying that, Ji Chen drew out the long sword from his back and slashed hard at the fork in the road.

An unparalleled sword light burst out along the sword blade, as if it had the power to pierce through gold and split stone. In an instant, it tore into pieces all the rocks and walls blocking the front, with unstoppable force.

When the sword light faded, a third road that was artificially opened suddenly appeared between the two roads at the fork in the road.

One sword opens a new path.

The power of the Son of God in the First Divine Region is so terrifying!
Even the four people behind him who knew the strength of their own Son of God were stunned when they saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

He is worthy of being the Son of God of their First Divine District. If there is no road, he will make one by himself. This courage alone makes him worthy of the title of Son of God!

Seeing that Ji Chen had already started walking forward, the four of them hurriedly followed him.

Soon, after passing through the rocky passage torn open by the sword light, Ji Chen and his four companions arrived at a completely new area.

but…

After looking around and carefully examining the area, the expressions of the other four people became more and more interesting.

"what?"

Ji Chen exclaimed in surprise, and then fell silent.

"Does this place look familiar?"

"Um... Lord Ji Chen..." One of the four teammates couldn't help but speak weakly, "Here..."

"It looks like we just entered the location of the dungeon."

Ji Chen: “???”

So they walked for more than half a month and then returned to where they started?
The scene suddenly fell into dead silence, with only the wind blowing through the ruins, stirring up the dust all around.

But soon, the silence was broken by a scream.

A figure quickly emerged from the void beside Ji Chen and the other four, and finally became completely clear.

It turned out that Xue Jiajia was forcibly teleported away by the joint efforts of Yu Zhun and other four people.

"Damn it!" Xue Jiajia hadn't gotten over the anger of just being humiliated. The moment she landed, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet.

Next time they meet, she will definitely teach those guys a lesson!

After venting her anger, Xue Jiajia turned around and looked at the five silent people beside her.

In just a moment, her eyes fell on Ji Chen.

"Ok?"

After a moment of shock, Xue Jiajia widened her eyes, "Ji Lu Chi?!"

Then, her expression quickly turned into despair, like a salted fish that had lost its dream.

"It's over!"

"Where did this get me?"

"We've been teleported to a place with a poor sense of direction. Could it be that we're still at the outermost part of the ruins?"

Ji Chen: “…”

The four people behind him: “…”

Everyone who enters the [Withered Ruins] instance will initially be at the outermost edge of the ruins, but the specific locations and routes are different.

Ji Chen and his group, who had entered the copy for more than half a month, just now returned to their original position.

So, as Xue Jiajia said, at this moment she had indeed returned to the outermost part of the ruins.

For a moment, the expressions of Ji Chen and the other four became complicated.

Noticing their expressions, Xue Jiajia's expression froze slightly.

"I just said it casually, and your reaction..."

"Is it really still on the outermost layer of the ruins?!"

She looked at Ji Chen in disbelief, her face full of speechless expression, "Ji Luchi, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have improved a lot."

When she met this guy in other copies before, she had seen how bad his direction was, but it was never this outrageous.

He hasn't taken a single step in half a month. Could this be something the Son of God would do?

Ji Chen: “…”

He clenched his fists slightly, his breathing suddenly became heavy, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes when he looked at Xue Jiajia.

"Xue Jiajia, you talk too much."

"What, you want to fight with me?" Xue Jiajia snorted, with an indifferent look on her face.

Ji Chen’s talent was indeed very strong, otherwise he would not be called the strongest son of God in the First Divine District. He could even fight one against two and suppress the two people in the Third Divine District head-on.

But in front of Xue Jiajia, he is not good enough.

After all, Xue Jiajia's talent is X3 level [Fair Stand]. As long as the talent is not X4 level, it will be invalid in front of her.

As far as she knew, Ji Chen was still some distance away from level X4.

After all, it requires 729 myth fragments to upgrade.

Therefore, even though the 30% erosion of the power of withering on her body has not dissipated yet, Xue Jiajia is not panicked at all.

"Let's fight..." Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, holding a long sword and slowly approaching Xue Jiajia, "Okay, then come on!"

At this moment, he was already a little annoyed because he returned to the original position, and his defense was slightly broken by Xue Jiajia's words. Hearing Xue Jiajia's provocation, he could no longer control his sword.

"tread--"

Accompanied by the sound of slight footsteps, Ji Chen's figure disappeared from the spot, and appeared in front of Xue Jiajia in an instant as if teleporting.

"Little tricks."

Xue Jiajia snorted lightly and suddenly raised the dagger in her hand. Feeling her movements were slightly slow, her eyes sank slightly.

The erosion of the power of withering still had some impact on her.

But...it’s enough to deal with Ji Chen!
Thinking of this, Xue Jiajia displayed her talents without hesitation.

Then, her expression suddenly changed.

"Wait! You…"

Before she could finish, Ji Chen's sword had already slashed across her body, instantly emptying her health bar.

Xue Jiajia's health points dropped to zero, triggering the blood lock effect, but in the next moment, a faint shattering sound was heard.

The blood lock effect is invalid on the spot.

"Ignore health lock... Level X4..."

"How can it be…"

Xue Jiajia stared at the scene in amazement, with an expression of disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible." Ji Chen put away his sword, his eyes calm, "Master Demon has completed the missing pieces for me."

I see…

There was a hint of envy in Xue Jiajia's eyes.

The gap in strength between the Second Divine District and the First Divine District is not that big, but the most powerful lord in the Second Divine District obviously would not do such a thing.

Never mind, it’s better to leave the copy.

This way you can eat delicious food.

It’s a pity that we haven’t caused any trouble to those guys yet.

Thinking of Yu Zhun and the others, Xue Jiajia couldn't help but snort.

Forget it this time, but if she has the chance to meet them again next time, she will make sure those guys are given a good beating!
Without saying anything else, Xue Jiajia turned into a flash of white light and disappeared.

"Let's go." Ji Chen retracted his gaze and spoke calmly, then raised his foot and walked forward.

The four people behind him hurriedly followed.

But soon, as Ji Chen stopped, they stopped again.

"It's you." Ji Chen turned and looked at his four teammates, his eyes fixed on one of them, "Next, you lead the way."

Hearing this, the four people felt as if they had been pardoned.

Heaven and earth conscience!

Before, they had thought about making this suggestion, but Ji Chen was the most powerful son of God in their world, and the status between the two sides was very different. They were afraid that they would be killed by Ji Chen's sword after making the suggestion.

Now, Ji Chen finally realized that he was not suitable to lead the way! ——
"tread--"

Yu Jun and the other four stopped in front of a huge, magnificent but ruined palace.

"Yes, it's here." Yu Zhun glanced at the palace in front of him, and then nodded slightly, "The boss point of the dungeon, the Withered Palace."

When using the [Strategy Simulation Card] before, in order to thoroughly understand the mechanism of [Withered Ruins], Yu Zhun did not use the goal of completing the simulation strategy as the goal, but explored as divergently as possible.

But even so, he had been to this boss point.

Not only that, he also fought against it once in a simulation.

The final boss of the [Withered Ruins] dungeon, the Withered Remnant, is in this palace. It has the ability to summon and control three stone statues: the singer, the guard, and the hunter. It is a very difficult mechanical boss to deal with.

For the time being, the goal of Yu Zhun and his four companions is not to defeat the dungeon boss, but to collect fragments.

"The Withered Slate is right next to the dungeon boss. It will absorb the fragments to replenish itself." Yu Zhun introduced it to the other four people casually, "We must replenish the Withered Slate before defeating the boss."

"Only in this way can we achieve the perfect clearance conditions."

"Besides that, I have some other guesses." Yu Zhun paused for a moment, "After the stone slabs are completed, the dungeon boss is likely to be further strengthened and become more difficult to deal with."

As they were talking, the five of them had already arrived at the palace gate.

As Yu Zhun pushed open the palace door, the dusty palace was exposed to everyone's sight.

In the air at the very center of the palace, there was a broken body that was bound and hung by countless rusty chains. Under the broken body was a huge and mysterious stone slab with countless cracks.

The expressions of Yu Zhun and the other four changed at the same time, and they looked towards the side of the stone slab.

There stood five players.

Leading the group was a pair of men who looked extremely similar.
