Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

"Someone's here?"

After the Icarus disintegrated, Bai Xi heard the wooden figure's voice and looked back in confusion.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a sea of ​​players in front of me...

"Wow, how many people are there?"

Bai Xi froze for a moment, then heard a calm sound beside her ear:

"Don't bother counting. There are sixty-two players in total. I've already counted them. The highest level is only level 4."

"Oh, thank you... wait, who the hell are you? Hey? Jiang Lingyi?!"

Bai Xi was taken aback at first, and subconsciously responded. Then, she realized what was happening and quickly turned around warily.

Then, he and Jiang Lingyi stared at each other in silence for a moment.

"...Okay, I admit I have a lot to say. But wouldn't you say that the Escapists 2 team has reunited after so many instances?"

Jiang Lingyi stroked her chin and finally said this. The wooden figure and the two rabbits beside her were clearly somewhat stunned.

"That really does seem... Wait a minute, damn it, don't change the subject, why are you here now?"

Bai Xi pondered for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, then realized what was happening and asked loudly.

"Ah... I just finished my dungeon and came out to see you guys here, so I rushed over to say hello."

Jiang Lingyi said calmly, while Bai Xi turned around and looked at the players rushing towards him, and fell into deep thought...

Then, turning back to look at Jiang Lingyi, he asked softly:

"And what about these players...?"

"Hmm? We've made a slight grudge, haven't we?"

Jiang Lingyi calmly said, "My dungeon was the type that many players challenged, and it seems quite a few people could clear it. But I used Serpes's Judgment to destroy the dungeon, which apparently caused their attempts to fail automatically, and I was the only one who succeeded..."

"They're probably here to kill me."

"Damn it, why the hell are they attacking us too?"

"Is it so hard to understand that I'm standing with you?"

Jiang Lingyi asked, seemingly puzzled, but Bai Xi had already grabbed her arm and turned to run.

"What the hell are you still saying?! Run!"

Suddenly, everything went black before Bai Xi could catch up with the other players, and he hurriedly fled the scene.

Are you kidding me?! I'm no longer capable of piloting the Icarus!

Although I seem to have quite a few abilities, wait a minute, I seem to have quite a few abilities?

Suddenly, Bai Xi paused, realizing something.

Oh no, the upgrade is happening too fast, I don't even feel like it's real anymore.

"Hiss... Jiang Lingyi, you just said that among those who caught up from behind, even the strongest was only level four, right?"

So Bai Xi stopped, turned around, ignored the players rushing towards him, and asked Jiang Lingyi the following question.

"Yeah, there should have been fewer people... It's a pity that Serpes's Judgment missed its target at the last moment."

"...You actually manage to miss sometimes."

Bai Xi subconsciously made a sarcastic remark, then took a deep breath.

"Thanks anyway. At least now I know what I should do..."

So, in that instant, he raised his hand and glanced back at his MP, which had been fully restored.

"Yeah, I think I'm incredibly strong right now! A mere few dozen players? Watch me annihilate them without even using my mech!"

So, in the next instant, Bai Xi drew his colorful blade and assumed a sword-wielding stance, but the next moment, his other free hand suddenly swung in the air.

"Summoning Thunder!"

In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky. In less than half a second, 10 MP points were instantly evaporated. Then, a thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky and spread wildly in all directions!

Bai Xi suddenly stepped back and raised his hand again:

"Summoning Thunder!"

This time, it's a double whammy!

In an instant, 31 MP evaporated to just a single point. Bai Xi retreated sharply, watching the raging lightning illuminate everything before him, roaring and howling in all directions, leaping ceaselessly among the players.

It was as if the most terrifying thing had descended upon us at this moment!

"As expected... it's so satisfying to use spells that don't take up any time!"

Bai Xi let out a light whistle, looked at his experience points which had skyrocketed to level 8, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He's starting to understand Rongguang a little better now.

Having area-of-effect (AOE) skills and farming other players for experience is incredibly satisfying...

A single, deep-level Summoning Lightning spell deals 6D6 damage, but now, Bai Xi's three consecutive spells deal 18D6 damage!

Even in this event where everyone is a blood cow, most people who get hit by this will be severely injured, if not killed!

"It looks really spectacular."

Jiang Lingyi watched this scene from afar, muttering to herself. Bai Xi shrugged and continued:

"However... it's expected that some will slip through the net."

As he spoke, he drew the blade from his hand once more.

"But these people are relatively simpler..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and cast the spell again.

R'lyeh's fog-making technique.

In an instant, the entire venue was shrouded in thick fog, and Bai Xi's figure blended into the fog with remarkable ease.

[The fog provides a 20-point stealth bonus... Since you already have 89 points in stealth, stealth is considered automatically successful.]

All attacks succeeded automatically.

And so, in the hazy mist, the arc of electricity from the variegated blade silently sliced ​​through the clouds and pierced a player's back.

As the player dissipated into a stream of data, Bai Xi's figure once again disappeared into the thick fog.

So, next up is another round of slaughter...

Just five minutes later, even the mist in R'lyeh was covered with a layer of blood-red color. Bai Xi finally emerged from the mist and looked at Jiang Lingyi.

"Alright, that's almost done here too."

As Bai Xi spoke, he nodded slightly to Jiang Lingyi. Jiang Lingyi looked Bai Xi up and down for a while before letting out a sigh.

Sometimes, Jiang Lingyi couldn't help but wonder if Bai Xi had done the same thing during the Blood Mist incident...

Is that boy from back then still the same as he is now?

Such a thought flashed through her mind, but Jiang Lingyi quickly cleared it from her thoughts.

"Alright, there's nothing more to do. Let's get going."

As she spoke, she raised her head, squinted, and gazed into the distance:

"We should hurry up and wrap up our journey in the Black Forest... let's move on to the next dungeon."
