Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

The group exchanged glances, their shock gradually replaced by solemnity; they knew very well what this meant.

If the strength of a purple experience pet represents Tier II, then red must represent Tier III!

Chen Xi is indeed not afraid of Tier III opponents in a 1v1 situation, but he is helpless in a 1v4 situation.

However, Chen Xi was puzzled as to why there was a red category.

Theoretically, the strongest experience pet should be purple, because Tier III requires leveling up in the Doom Zone. If it could be leveled up here, wouldn't that violate the rules of the Black Tower?

Logically speaking, the power of the safe zone should be less than that of the black tower, so the safe zone could not possibly have the power to break through the rules of the black tower.

At most, the transitions from I to II and from II to III are relatively easier.

III. There is no shortcut to sainthood.

Therefore, Chen Xi had always assumed that there were no experience pets corresponding to a Tier III powerhouse.

Unexpectedly, four red characters suddenly appeared.

At this moment, the four experience babies had already crawled out of the ground by a third, their two tentacles twitching like eyes, locking onto the four of them.

"I see."

"Just like there's no such thing as a free lunch, there's also no such thing as free experience points."

"The danger in this safe zone is being ambushed!"

"Most of the people who make it here can get through the fifth wave of the purple wave."

"Perhaps it was out of curiosity or a desire to take shortcuts, to see if they could use the rules here to escape their misfortune outside, but obviously that wouldn't work."

"In other words, the experience points we've gained so far are nourishment left behind by those who failed before us!"

"This place probably has some kind of ability to convert enemy corpses into experience points."

At this moment, the four red experience babies have already emerged halfway from the ground.

Under pressure, Tyson Bolt, who is simple-minded and physically strong, couldn't withstand the pressure and forced himself to make a move.

He activated the [Powerful Mode] directly. With a "bang," he leaped high into the air, descending from the sky to unleash his signature move, which he had practiced diligently for many years.

"Thai elbow strike!"

Tyson Bolt's strike, imbued with the force of gravity, slammed into one of the red experience babies that was climbing upwards.

Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Tyson Bolt's full-power attack only caused his opponent to tremble slightly.

Let alone stopping the other party from crawling out from underground, it wouldn't even be possible to delay them by a second or half a second.

Chen Xi watched all this expressionlessly. If nothing unexpected happened, these red experience babies were at least 100% ahead of Tyson Bolt in progress.

It has already crossed a stage, and the gap is too huge, so it's normal that it can't be shaken.

"Boss, hurry up and buy one!"

"If you can take one down in a second, you'll definitely reach Tier III immediately, and then we'll all be saved!"

Yang Wei slapped the author's thigh and quickly reminded him.

"It's useless." Chen Xi quickly dismissed the idea. "If Tier III can be leveled up using experience pets, that violates the leveling rules within the Black Tower, which is unreasonable."

"Even if I could gain experience points, I'd need to be at Rank III. Have you forgotten? Their experience points are subject to a matching system."

"But that would be putting the cart before the horse."

"This mechanism is probably designed to prevent a skilled player from carrying a newbie all the way up the ranks."

"If this novice ventures here alone and doesn't stop in time... he'll surely die!"

"This place may seem like a holy land for advancement, but once someone truly meets the requirements enters, it becomes their addictive graveyard!"

Chen Xi said in a deep voice, not too flustered, as if he was confident.

Although the Black Tower is officially known as a place where only Tier III can enter, powerful Tier IIs are also welcome, and even Tier Is can enter if there happens to be a vacancy for a Tower Slave!

There are also people like Tyson Bolt who have risen from there, so these safe zones are not deserted.

"So what do we do now?"

The author nudged Yang Wei and asked Chen Xi, his expression rather urgent.

Even though it's true that tall people should hold up the sky when it falls, short people still want to ask a few questions!

After all, it concerns his life.

"It's alright, I'll take care of it!"

Chen Xi said seriously, without the slightest hint of joking.

At this moment, the four red experience babies had completely crawled out of the ground.

Putting aside the color, everything else—shape, size, behavior, and so on—is exactly the same as the previous four experience babies.

As for retreating, that's not an option.

Chen Xi and others had previously conducted experiments on this.

The moment the ground loosened, even before their arms were outstretched, these experienced players had already locked onto Chen Xi and his group of four.

Once they escape, these four red experience babies will engage in a 1v1 chase. Chen Xi doesn't care, but Yang Wei and the other two will definitely die!

"Everyone back off!"

"I'll take on four of them!"

Chen Xi waved his hand, and his pupils burst forth with extreme blue light.

Fully filled!

This is the state your eyes will have after you've reached 100% progress in Stage II!

......

......

Inside the Triangle Building.

"30%..."

"20%..."

The death rate has dropped so much, and it's still falling... Is this guy playing dumb to fool everyone...?

Lin Fan looked at Jia Siwei and murmured to himself.

"Is this your purpose?" Lin Fan asked Jia Siwei, raising his drawing board.

Although the drawing board was given to Assam before, Lin Fan took it back for safety reasons during the subsequent retreat.

The four of them stopped, and their "classmates" were rapidly approaching from behind.

Although danger is constantly approaching, the danger level is constantly decreasing...

Judging from the rate of decline, the mortality rate will probably drop to 0% once these "classmates" get closer!

Lin Fan naturally believed the answer given by the "Auspicious Day," so he was much calmer than Wang Qingqing and Assam.

"You've got the wrong Lin Fan."

"My goal isn't the canvas in your hand, it's you!"

"You are my target!"

I......

Lin Fan suddenly remembered what the other party had said before: "Because I must let you use your exclusive forbidden items in battle."

"What do you want to do?"

"A forbidden item...you mean the Heaven-Slaying Stone Crown?"

"So that's why you wanted me to head towards the Black Tower. But so what if you saw me fight?"

"At this stage, you're much stronger than me..."

"Hahaha!" Jia Siwei laughed. "Well said. It seems that you subconsciously believe you can definitely surpass me at this stage."

"But that's not wrong, after all, you are the emperor of the first rank, while I am just an actor of the eighth rank."

"Judging by your identity alone, you are better than me, no... better than anyone else, but you must never underestimate the identity of an actor."

"Because of the limitations of an actor's role..."

"It's the highest among all the overlords!"
