With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

But why would such an item, which is perfect for people with resurrection abilities and has an excellent effect, appear here?

Her intuition told her there was something wrong, and the fact that she could afford 20 Source Crystals (Large) while she only had 21 was too much of a coincidence.

Narrowing his eyes, Yang Li prepared to buy it. As for whether there were any other mysteries, he would pay the transaction points and let 'Abyss Paradise' appraise it again.

As for that resurrection ability that hasn't fully cooled down yet, it'll have to go to that place to collect evil thoughts...

PS: 1. This is the twenty-seventh update today.

Chapter 538, Section 549: The Arena of Life and Death

Chapter 538: Arena of Life and Death

After exchanging an immortal herb for a potential fruit, Yang Li left the [Home of the Lost], temporarily putting aside his doubts.

Since I can't figure it out, I might as well not think about it for now. After all, if I don't have the ability, even if I know the answer to my question, I might not be able to solve it.

Instead of focusing on improving your own strength, once you have the ability to fight against all enemies, you will naturally have nothing to fear.

The journey was uneventful. Yang Li first had Fenrir consume the Life Crystal Core and then ordered it to return to its 'personal private room' before arriving at a somewhat familiar place.

Arena of Life and Death

She had competed here many times and was quite familiar with the situation. She had also achieved very good results in the earlier ranks.

The not-so-tall building exudes an aura of majesty, as if this were a battlefield where blood and sweat mingle, except that the stalls and vendors at the entrance are rather ridiculous.

"The rules and two modes of the [Arena of Death] are explained in detail. Those interested can take a look!"

"Latest changes to the Tier 3 Arena rankings, leaderboard sold!"

"A guide on how to quickly improve your ranking, now only 500 trading points!"

"First-time use items on sale at a low price! Tiers 1 to 4 are all welcome to take a look. Buy more and get bigger discounts!"

"A guide to sarcasm, covering all your sarcasm techniques!"

Ignoring these silly people, Yang Li strode into the arena. Some people were still waiting before the teleportation started, most of them being beginners.

Since this is my first time here, I definitely need to take a good look at the beginner's guide to avoid making any big mistakes.

He glanced at it and looked away; large numbers of characters floated up in front of Yang Li.

You have entered a combat zone. Please select the next mode.

[Competitive Mode / Deathmatch Mode / Spectator Mode]

Raising her right hand, Yang Li clicked on the spectator mode without hesitation, which was something she had planned in advance.

Although watching others play is a waste of her time, she still has to waste a round for that purpose, and she can also see what the bartender's hell is like.

[Spectator Mode: This mode allows you to watch ongoing matches. Matches not open to the public cannot be watched; other matches require 20 trade points to watch. Note: Currently, there are 4756 Tier 5 arenas available for viewing.]

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

[Special Spectating: This is a special area within the 'Abyss Paradise' where you can watch life-or-death battles. This place is known as Hell by many Contractors who know the truth... (Available to fourth-tier Contractors)]

……

The view before him shifted, from the palace to a vast area, and a fox mask appeared in Yang Li's hand.

He casually put it on, held the King Arthur card in his hand, and replaced his original long coat and tight pants with Lancer-class armor.

Contractors are everywhere, and watching matches at 'Abyss Paradise' is a free choice. You can reach the audience seats through a portal for each match that is taking place in each venue.

Of course, watching a match requires paying transaction points, and the participants in the match must agree to make it public.

"I've heard that Olga Itsuka is the strongest Tier 3 fighter. Shall we go check her out?"

"Only level three? How boring. I'm not going. I'd rather watch a level five battle than go."

Two people passed by Yang Li, and their conversation drifted into her ears, causing her to frown slightly.

Olga Izka?

She felt like she'd heard the name somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it, so she simply gave up trying to remember.

My gaze swept across the hall; it was a high-tech area with a strong metallic feel everywhere.

However, what surprised Yang Li the most was not that contractors could watch the battle regardless of their rank, but rather the dozen or so beast-eared girls in the hall who were there to greet the contractors.

As she walked away, Yang Li completely concealed her imposing aura. She could tell that these girls were all very weak employees.

Her aura, enough to ignite the entire room, would probably scare everyone into a stupor. For the sake of our next objective, we can't do that.

Hello, how can I help you?

A bunny girl bowed slightly to Yang Li, looking at the strange guy in front of her.

The armor and the ordinary fox mask, while concealing his identity, looked very mismatched.

However, her good manners prevented her from showing any abnormality, and she presented herself in her best condition.

However, Yang Li keenly sensed her gaze lingering on the mask for a moment.

"This combination is really weird... Oh well."

"I'd like to ask, how do I get to 'Hell'?"

As Yang Li asked this question, he could clearly sense that the girl in front of him had frozen in disbelief.

Hell is another name for that place, a product of misinformation spread by contractors, but it is still a place that strikes fear into people's hearts.

The cool female voice was like a gentle breeze, but the content it contained made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and even the little rabbit was frightened.

'This is another pervert, even though it's a girl...'

These thoughts floated through her mind, and the young female employee gave Yang Li a deep look, even wondering if the girl had suffered some kind of trauma.

Although that place can only be entered after reaching the fourth level, there are indeed some daring individuals who want to venture in and give it a try.

It was a real hell, but because she had accidentally stepped into it once while leading the way, she had decided never to go back in for the rest of her life...

“Go back. That’s not a place for humans. It’s hell… a forbidden land connected to the Blood Abyss.”

Without saying a word, Yang Li's golden ahoge (cowlick) trembled and curled into a question mark shape, fully demonstrating her bewilderment.

His eyes narrowed beneath the mask, and he said nothing more. The aura he had been holding back was slightly released, and a surge of blood energy erupted from him.

"Lead the way, I have a reason I have to go."

"!!"

The young lady was clearly startled; her rabbit ears suddenly stood up straight, making you want to grab them and play with them.

Without another word, the employee, whose abilities were not particularly impressive, realized that the person in front of him was not a curious young girl, but a monster who had fought his way out of the amusement park.

As her blood energy returned, she patted her chest and turned to walk in a certain direction.

That was one side wall of the hall. As they approached, the two passed through a thin membrane, like an identity verification process. At first, Yang Li could feel the resistance.

After crossing it, everything changed. As the worker pushed open a door, Yang Li saw another area.

The next moment, the girl decisively retreated, turned around and left without any intention of lingering.

"Connected to the Blood Abyss? Interesting..."

Narrowing his eyes, Yang Li's attire began to change, and the card switched to Dragon King Xia Mi. The Face of Calamity was activated, and a golden card was inserted.

With everything prepared, Yang Li stepped into this distinctly different realm...

PS: 1. This is the twenty-eighth update today.

Chapter 539, Section 550: The Strange Unknown Land

Chapter 539: The Bizarre Unknown Land

Stepping through that door felt like traversing countless spaces; Yang Li arrived at a peculiar place that left her completely stunned.

The arena, the torn people, and the crazed monsters that were originally seen from outside the gate have all vanished like a mirage.

The door behind them had disappeared, and beneath their feet lay solid, unidentified soil. This was a dimly lit passage, like a mine.

A faint light shone down from the rock wall, an unknown source providing some illumination and filling the passage with a touch of warmth.

However, in stark contrast to the warmth were the dried bloodstains on the ground and the eerily quiet environment.

A bloodstained rag was located next to the right foot, and there was a fairly large footprint nearby, clearly left by an unknown creature.

Looking up at the height of the tunnel, Yang Li squatted down to measure the length of his foot. If it were a humanoid creature, this thing would be at least 2.5 meters tall.

The Shadow of Slaughter was unleashed. This unfamiliar environment made Yang Li somewhat wary, especially since an unknown creature had stayed here before.

Without touching the tattered cloth, Yang Li walked a few more steps forward and came to a bend in the road. The angle of this place was actually very small.

There were claw marks on the wall. Even the Shadow of Slaughter might not be able to cut through the wall, but it had been scratched deeply by something resembling animal claws.

With four sharp, knife-like fingers, standing approximately 2.5 meters tall, its attack capabilities are extraordinary, but its speed is unknown.

Yang Li had some guesses about the unknown existence for the time being, but of course, if the opponent was not a humanoid monster, then she didn't say anything.

The Shadow of Slaughter was no longer very safe, but Yang Li did not switch to other weapons because the Shadow of Slaughter's convenient spatial advantages were irreplaceable.

Even if an attack does occur, you can use the coordinates you left at the beginning to move to the point where you just arrived in this area.

Of course, Yang Li also tried to teleport away directly, but this area was completely isolated from the outside world, and he could not sense any spatial coordinates.

'This is troublesome. We don't know anything about the situation. Are we just supposed to take it one step at a time?'

She had no idea how she got there; she didn't feel any spatial teleportation, it was as if the space she was in had been moved away.

Or it might be some kind of extremely high-level spatial ability that rendered her unable to react, which is quite strange, but the situation is undoubtedly dangerous.

Conceal your aura, utilize Xia Mi's Word of Power simulation ability to obtain and activate [Word of Power: Netherworld Illumination], then stack 'Ultimate Skill: Extreme Dark Slaughter', Illusion + 'Cognitive Interference'.

Using all available skills, Yang Li finally grew bolder and began to explore.
