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

Now that the treasure-hunting rat has found the treasure, the class monitor naturally has to shut down its extraordinary abilities.

Otherwise, the ever-accumulating frostbite would eventually kill him.

But now...

"Can't turn it off?"

Chen Xi asked in surprise.

If it can't be turned off, doesn't that mean that Paradise Lost, this safe zone, is determined to kill the class monitor?

Combined with the fact that the sixth symbol is unique, the squad leader must also be killed.

What exactly is going on?

What did the class monitor do that warranted certain death?

Or is it that the treasure they are looking for can actually threaten Paradise Lost?

Chen Xi couldn't possibly know the specific reasons all at once, but that didn't mean he had no way to find out.

Since it can't be turned off...

Then destroy it!

Take this elbow strike!

Although the class monitor was only at Tier III, his advancement was too rapid and he had too little experience. He only saw Chen Xi kill those misfortunes in the last few days, which broadened his horizons a bit.

But all those misfortunes were wiped out by Chen Xi with a single punch, so he didn't gain much insight from them. As a result, he still hasn't forgotten his original aspirations and is like a high school senior with a look of panic on his face.

Faced with Chen Xi's murderous elbow strike, the treasure-hunting rat instinctively judged Chen Xi as a danger in the treasure hunt and intentionally wanted to avoid him.

Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and it didn't even have time to react before Chen Xi smashed it to pieces with a "smack".

Damaging the Treasure-Hunting Mouse will have a slight impact on the class monitor, but compared to the class monitor's current situation, this impact is negligible.

"Godfather!"

The squad leader, with a face full of gratitude, shouted out the phrase that represented the highest level of thanks.

But the next second, he frowned:

"not good!"

"The chill in my body is still increasing, but the rate has slowed down considerably."

Is it still increasing, or has it slowed down considerably?

Wouldn't that be the same as us?

Chen Xi immediately realized.

"Never mind, let's go in."

Chen Xi said solemnly.

Although the class monitor is not a combat type, he is still a Level III superhuman and will not be frozen to death so easily.

If the chill increases at the same rate as Chen Xi and the others, they should be able to hold out for a while longer.

If all else fails, there's always the "Harvest" option available.

Chen Xi did not believe that the chill had no limit. If it did, then this safe zone would be too terrifying. Wouldn't anyone who stayed there for too long die?

Just then.

A loud "boom" resounded in the cloudless sky.

As a dark cloud appeared, a tremendous thunderclap resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Um?"

"Chen Xi, the chill in my body has suddenly disappeared. What about you?"

As the person with the most severe typhoid fever, the squad leader was the first to notice this subtle change.

"We are still freezing."

Chen Xi responded, and the others nodded in agreement.

"I see."

Chen Xi glanced at the dark clouds in the sky and suddenly understood something.

"So this is the danger of Paradise Lost, the 'Elements'!"

"It started as 'ice element' and now it's 'lightning element.' I estimate that the maximum power of each element is probably around the same."

"But now they're trying to stop us from advancing, so they've used the faster-acting 'Lightning Element'!"

"Not only that, if I'm not mistaken, the damage here is cumulative. That means the lightning in the sky doesn't start from zero, but from the damage record left by the 'ice element'!"

"Oh no, what do I do?"

"I have no means of defense!"

Upon hearing this, the squad leader's previously cheerful expression instantly darkened. He thought he had escaped one disaster, but it turned out he had jumped from one pit to another.

While Chen Xi was saying these words, he had already walked to the gate that was only one snake-man icon away from the Black Tower Gate.

The appearance of the lightning element is a signal.

Combined with the ever-increasing chill emanating from his body, Chen Xi could roughly deduce...

The method of killing in this safe zone is like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

The way out should be the same as the ascent route you came up from, but the danger here isn't the kind that's triggered immediately. Normally, by the time you realize it, it's too late to go back.

The class monitor is an exception for some reason, or rather, the "treasure hunting expert" is an exception.

Because the last name he was given was "Cleaner"!

But the identity of "cleaner" was a bit strange from beginning to end, and Chen Xi couldn't quite figure it out for a while, so she could only take it one step at a time.

The thunderclap made Chen Xi feel that Paradise Lost desperately wanted to kill the class monitor.

The killing began when the class monitor summoned the [Treasure-Hunting Rat], meaning that Paradise Lost was trying its best to eliminate those who possessed the identity of "Treasure-Hunting Expert".

However, since the killing method itself is slow-paced, it's not hard to see that the other party is speeding up their actions in comparison.

"It's alright, once we go inside, we should be able to avoid it!"

"This lightning is somewhat similar to the previous heavenly tribulation; it will probably take a while to build up."

"Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Chen Xi, are you a cultivator?"

"I guess so..." Chen Xi replied. After all, he now possessed the Seven-Colored Glazed Body, and although he couldn't activate it, he was still considered a half-cultivator.

The lightning tribulation was estimated to be a little longer before it descended, but Chen Xi dared not delay. He spread his arms, pressed his palms against one of the doors, and then exerted his strength.

"Um?"

Chen Xi was immediately stunned; he couldn't push it at all?

Chen Xi could sense that the door could be opened, but he lacked the strength.

It should be noted that Chen Xi, relying on the four principles of infinity, is currently in the amplification mode of the [Overlord Domain], where every breath increases his power.

Although each amount is small, they add up over time.

In addition, he is currently at 100% progress and has five identity cards in hand.

In terms of pure strength, I wouldn't dare say it has reached the level of a saint, but it has definitely surpassed the ceiling of strength.

Furthermore, since he is not a half-step saint, even if the power he displays exceeds the ceiling, he will not be forcibly ascended to the so-called second level of the Black Tower.

This creates an unsolvable contradiction.

Following this logic, no one can open this door!

The person who could push it away wouldn't be here, and here, no one can push it away!

Boom!

Time flew by as Chen Xi and the door remained locked in a stalemate, and the increasingly loud noise from the sky seemed to be telling Chen Xi that time was running out.

"Chen Xi, it looks like the tribulation lightning is about to strike!"

The class monitor seemed to have a premonition and exclaimed in surprise.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

In an instant, a white light appeared in the dark clouds, accompanied by a crackling electromagnetic sound that made one's eardrums ache even from a great distance.

"Oh no, the tribulation lightning is about to descend!"

Yan Mingliang said with a solemn expression.

The class monitor is, in a sense, his rival in love, but he is still clear-headed about everything, big or small. The class monitor, or rather, the "treasure hunting expert," must not die!

Whoosh!

A figure moving with incredible speed, like a black line, shot straight into the sky with the aura of an eagle soaring through the air, and with a "whoosh" sound, pierced through the dark clouds from bottom to top.

After a brief moment of surprise, they all saw the figure clearly.

"Chen Xi!"

Chen Xi punched through the dark cloud in the sky with a pose reminiscent of Ultraman transforming into a giant!

However, the squad leader's excited expression didn't last even a second before his face suddenly darkened, and he shouted in a trembling voice filled with fear:

"Oh no! The lightning tribulation wasn't dispersed!"

As the squad leader finished speaking, the white lightning that had been brewing within the dark clouds also struck!
