No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

Mu Zhixi roughly understood the situation through the comments: as long as they could defeat this team, they could advance.

While Blood Butcher was still rambling on, trying to impress Eileen with his "terrifying" connections.

[Only two teams remain in the instance; the final showdown mechanism and the bloody arena have been activated.]

[You are about to be teleported to the arena for a 1v1 team deathmatch.]

Blood Butcher was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha! This is truly heaven-sent! It saves me the trouble of making a move!"

In his view, it was as if the system was helping him.

The scene shifted, and everyone was instantly transported to a huge circular arena.

Just as Blood Butcher was about to order a charge, he saw that the elven girl opposite him completely ignored them and instead slowly took out a delicate little conch shell from her bosom.

She brought the conch shell to her lips and blew on it gently.

"Ha, you still have the leisure for such elegance when death is imminent?" Blood Butcher sneered disdainfully. "Once you're here, even if you kneel down and beg me, it'll be too late!"

"So noisy."

The next second, a cold, indifferent female voice, seemingly from the depths of the ocean, ignoring the system and resounding throughout the entire arena.

The moment the woman's voice fell, a gaping rift was torn open in the space above the arena, the crack sharp and fierce, cleaving the entire sky!

The five members of the Blood Slaughter Squad had no time to react.

"Auntie, they bullied me!" The elf girl, who had been holding the conch shell to her ear, seemed to have suffered a great injustice. She pouted and began to complain to the conch shell.

"They even tried to pollute the air around me with their mouths, hoping to kill me! And I could also sense them whispering to me, 'Auntie, your voice sounds old!'"

Blood Butcher: "?" When did he say that?

However, no one gave him a chance to explain.

The next second, rows and rows of blood-red system notifications began to flood the panels of the five members of the Blood Wolf Squad.

You have been gazed upon by the uncrowned lord of the deep sea.

You have obtained the special status: Three Thousand Weak Waters

[Effect: All attributes are reset to zero, the body structure is forcibly disintegrated, and the user is subjected to the water pressure of three hundred million miles of deep ocean.]

Almost at the same time the notification appeared, an irresistible and terrifying pressure swept in from all directions.

Blood Butcher's burly body, along with the battle axe in his hand, shattered instantly under an invisible, immense pressure, ultimately turning into a cloud of blood mist with a very soft "poof" sound.

It seemed like the whole process was over in less than a breath.

Wen Gu, Yue Xi, and millions of viewers in the live stream watched helplessly as an S-level top player and his elite team vanished without a trace.

[The water pressure at 300 million miles underwater? That's interesting, huh? It's terrifying... No tricks, just numbers. Is this what they call connections?]

[The king of connections is really getting in the game! [laughing emoji]]

Excuse me, excuse me, the king of connections is here!

"Tsk," Mu Zhixi, the instigator in the arena, put away the conch shell and sighed with some distress.

"Grandma Siren is still as irritable as ever, but to die at her hands, they must be overjoyed. What a blessing they've earned in eighteen lifetimes."

As she complained, she casually waved her hand in front of everyone.

What appeared out of thin air in front of her was a miniature black hole, the size of a mirror, emitting a faint glow.

Wen Gu and the others could even vaguely see that the other end of the black hole seemed to be a storage space, with all sorts of tokens that were clearly not ordinary items floating inside.

There were pendants radiating dragon's might, stones flowing with starlight, and even... a very familiar six-winged emblem shining with holy radiance.

The emblem on the long blade that Miss Number One used to judge S-class knight Felice was exactly the same as the six-winged emblem.

The girl seemed oblivious to everyone's gaze, casually tossing the small conch shell into the black hole before belatedly turning around.

"What are you little ones looking at?" The girl tilted her head in confusion as everyone stared at her with expressions as if they'd seen a ghost.

"Although I'm still single, I won't consider you humans! Besides, according to your human time system, I'm still 30,000 years away from adulthood."

...Everyone stared at each other, bewildered: "???"

Just then, the cold system notification sound finally rang in everyone's ears.

[No players remain alive in the instance. This round of the preliminary hunt is over. The instance will close soon.]

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the prompt.

But soon, they realized an even more serious problem.

"Wait a minute," Tie Shizhi's expression changed, "Where's Miss Number One? Wasn't she supposed to be intercepting the people from the Old Royal Court?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Yes, where is Miss Number One?

"No," Wen Gu pushed up his glasses and quickly found a reasonable explanation.

"Given Miss Number One's abilities, coupled with her divine backing, she must have obtained the hidden conditions for clearing the dungeon after defeating those enemies, so she left the instance directly."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, finding the explanation to be very reasonable.

After all, having special privileges is perfectly normal for someone favored even by the gods.

Among the crowd, only Yuexi remained calm and composed from beginning to end, and there was not even a hint of abnormality on her pretty face.

However, viewers in the live stream noticed something was amiss.

[Given the beauty's strength and status, defeating the royal court's people shouldn't be difficult, but why... is the beauty's livestream avatar still there? Even though it's a black screen, shouldn't it disappear immediately after clearing the level?]

I don't know, maybe it's stuck?

Just then, a comment on the screen silenced everyone.

You guys... don't actually think that the number one beauty is weird, do you?
