Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

Perhaps if we don't stop Hell from invading, the world really will be destroyed, and everyone will really die... Fan Xiao doesn't believe in this, but that doesn't stop him from reserving his opinion as one of the possibilities.

Since the dungeon opened, players have encountered far too few dangers.

Or rather... players will encounter too few dangers.

As long as they don't reveal their strength, they won't be labeled as "demons" and won't be captured by the Celestials.

As long as the civilians are not massacred, there will be no retaliation from the Celestial Race.

When the army marches out and encounters players from Obsidian City... the instance does not restrict players from both sides to fight each other. Players are rational and can talk to each other to avoid combat, so it is not a major crisis.

As for being swallowed by the dark space... Jinlian's conclusion is correct. Once inside, using items to help escape as soon as possible can allow you to get out before the monsters make a move.

Even if others don't have a teleportation device like him, and they run a little slower, they'll at most get injured. After they get out, they can cut off the mutated flesh, drink a healing potion, and wait for a while to recover.

Danger... is too little.

Fan Xiao could even foresee that surviving for seven days would be no difficult task at all.

Then why... did that tall player in black uniform conclude that "none of the players from the 019 section who entered the Twin Cities War instance have returned"?

None of them have returned... To put it bluntly, they all went missing after being sent.

why?

Fan Xiao glanced at the number "7" on the back of his hand and vaguely sensed the terrifying crisis hidden beneath the surface.

Therefore, he needs to make use of these players.

"If there are secrets in the dark space, it will definitely be less efficient for me to explore alone than for everyone to go in together. With more people, some pitfalls and landmines will be discovered."

"As for defeating the true king Caesar... if we can really eliminate him in the dark space using items, that would be the best, and we could clear the dungeon directly."

"However... things are probably not that simple."

Chapter 411 I Don't Want a Junior Sister, I Want a Junior Brother!

"Using ranged attacks in the dark space, to gang up on King Caesar together...?"

After hearing Fan Xiao's suggestion, Nei Long pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "It is indeed a good suggestion. The dungeon requires us to survive for seven days, and we don't know what dangers we will encounter... Now that we have a definite plan to clear the dungeon and a direction to focus our efforts, it's better than nothing."

"However, defeating the true King Caesar is the second instance mission, and it's estimated to be quite difficult. With just us, our chances of winning are too low."

After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Let's find the opposing faction players in Obsidian City first, discuss things with them, and then decide whether to take action based on the outcome of the discussion."

"If we fail to persuade them to join this plan, then..."

He shook his head: "I will give up. Caesar the True King is too dangerous!"

"I don't think... it's necessary to go and fight against the true king Caesar, is it?"

A tall player in a black uniform walking not far away joined the conversation, saying, "The second mission in a dungeon is usually more difficult than the first. Wouldn't it be better if we just focused on surviving for seven days?"

"Ah……"

Nei Long sneered, "I really don't know how someone like you managed to become a C-rank player? This dungeon is extremely dangerous, that's what you told us."

"So... instead of having a feasible and tryable solution with specific steps, you actually chose to face the unknown for seven days?"

"..." The tall player frowned and said, "I'm just reminding you that in any dungeon, the second quest is usually much more difficult than the first quest, so you must choose carefully."

"The level of difficulty also depends on the conditions."

Neilong's mocking expression remained unchanged as he said, "If we can really gather all the players in Obsidian City to work together, defeating King Caesar will be much simpler than facing the Seven Unknowns head-on. At least we will have the initiative in our own hands."

"The former involves collective effort with a clear direction; the latter involves unknown dangers and players going their own way... Players are more likely to be defeated one by one by the dungeon's crisis."

"You don't actually think that we just need to pretend to be ordinary people and fight a war for the next seven days, do you?"

"..."

The tall player fell silent, as if struggling with how to choose.

After a moment's thought, he turned to his three teammates and called a team meeting.

Soon, as if he had reached a conclusion, he looked at Fan Xiao and the other four again and said, "The Dark Space Extermination Plan... we can cooperate. However, we have a condition."

"In Obsidian City, we have three of our colleagues, as well as the criminal we are looking to capture."

"That guy is extremely strong, cruel, and very dangerous! If you can help us take him down, we'll agree to join your plan."

"Ha...you wish!"

Upon hearing this, Neilong said sarcastically, "Those with greater strength can become better partners."

"Didn't you say this dungeon is extremely dangerous? With the dungeon in danger, we all have a common goal. Players aren't crazy. Even the most ruthless people will weigh the pros and cons and cooperate with us."

"You actually want us to help you deal with the other side... What's wrong with your brain? What were you thinking?"

"Come to think of it, it seems like we have the upper hand now."

Jinlian suddenly licked her lips, looked at the four tall players, and said with a slightly eerie smile: "There are five of us and four of you, hey... tell me, why should we need to discuss this with you?"

"...What do you want to do!?" The tall player frowned and said, "The human army is right behind us. Do you dare to make a move? Be careful not to expose your strength and be labeled as a demon, and be captured by the Celestial Race."

"Seven days isn't enough time for continuous fighting, is it? There will always be periods of free time."

Jinlian sneered, "Are you sure you want to negotiate with us?"

"..."

The tall player's expression turned grim.

Damn it! Uncle Jian and his gang of idiots! They've already fallen so quickly, giving the cannibalistic players a numerical advantage. They're really five useless guys... He couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Faced with the malicious stares directed at him by the group of cannibals, he had no choice but to agree without further argument.

At this moment, Fan Xiao asked the tall player, "Is the criminal you're trying to capture male or female?"

"Why is it this question again? Have you never seen a woman before?" The tall player thought to himself, speechless, but still answered truthfully: "A woman, a young girl. Although she is young, she is extremely ruthless and powerful. She has committed a large number of murders in our A1 base in the 019 division."

"If she hadn't been injured by a special item, we wouldn't have dared to chase after her."

Fan Xiao: "..."

NMD... no way?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

His junior brother hasn't even appeared yet, and he's already going to be gender-swapped?

"Brother, why are you asking if it's a man or a woman?"

Nei Long looked at Fan Xiao and asked curiously.

"I'm a picky eater, I like handsome guys with good looks." Fan Xiao grinned and said, "Since the other party is ruthless, there's a possibility that we can't reach an agreement. In fact, the other party might not care about the second dungeon mission and attack us directly, since killing players from the opposing faction will allow them to inherit the numbers."

He glanced at the number "7" on the back of his hand and continued, "I don't know what this number is for, but since a number of zero means death, the more the better."

"If it really comes to the point where we have to fight, hey... I need to check if the other party fits my eating preferences first, so I can decide whether to kill it outright or knock it unconscious and eat it alive."

"Since she's a woman... if we can't reach an agreement, we might as well just kill her."

"Damn... how come you discriminate based on sex and appearance when you eat?"

Neilong said speechlessly, "It seems there are quite a few players like you who have a preference for eating people... Tsk, I really don't know what you guys are thinking. Unlike me, I'm not picky at all."

"Hehe, I didn't expect we have the same taste."

Jinlian looked at Fan Xiao with an approving look and said, "I also like to eat handsome men with good looks."

On the other side, the four tall players all looked very ugly after hearing this undisguised discussion about cannibalism.

These guys... are too reckless!

No! I must quickly rejoin my three colleagues to bolster our team's fighting strength.

Otherwise, they would likely be at the mercy of others for the next seven days.

"correct."

Nei Long's expression turned serious at this point, and he asked Fan Xiao, "When you questioned the residents of Silver City earlier, did you ask about the location of the 'Tomb of Guilt'?"

He glanced at the time on his player panel, his expression turning serious: "It's almost dark now, and the dungeon warning says it's extremely dangerous at night. If we don't find the 'Tomb of Guilt,' we'll probably be in a very passive position by tonight."

Upon hearing Neilong's words, not only Jinlian and the other man-eating players, but also the four tall players, all perked up their ears.

"Of course I asked, but..."

Fan Xiao shook his head and said, "I asked ten residents in a row for information, but not one of them knew about the existence of the 'Tomb of Guilt'. They all said they had never heard of it before."

"I guess... either the people of Silver City really don't know, or... the relevant information has been blocked, and ordinary people living at the bottom of society are unaware of it and can only ask people of higher status for information."

"Finding someone of higher status... this probably can't be done until the war on the front lines ends. We can only wait for now."

Nei Long's face was somewhat gloomy: "I don't know what dangers might come tonight... Anyway, let's try to stay together tonight and not separate."

"We could also try to contact the leaders of the Silver City army; perhaps they will know something."

Fan Xiao glanced at the army commander riding behind him out of the corner of his eye, then looked away and said, "Let's wait for our free time. If we make contact with him rashly while we're on the march... given the attitude these local residents have shown towards us players, we might not only fail to get any information, but we might also get a severe beating."

"These guys...!"

Nei Long snorted coldly, then invited Fan Xiao, "Brother, after we successfully clear the dungeon, before we leave, how about we go and slaughter the city together? Have a grand feast?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao looked Nei Long up and down a few times.

That look made Nei Long feel a little uneasy.

"What's wrong?" he asked instinctively.

“That’s a good suggestion,” Fan Xiao grinned. “I love killing people.”

……

"Mercenaries, your mission is to cooperate with the army in the massacre of Longxi Village!"

After the army marched into a valley, the commander rode up to Fan Xiao and his men and said, "Don't let the old, weak, women, or children escape! Begin the operation!"

After saying that, he pointed to a group of a hundred people that had separated not far away, signaling Fan Xiao and the others to follow.

The players naturally did not refuse and followed the hundred-person team.

Leading the group was a burly knight who herded the players behind him to the front, shouting, "You filthy rats! You'll be leading the charge! Don't hide in the back!"

"It's just ordinary people slaughtering a village. Does someone need to lead the charge?" Neilong wanted to ask, but then he thought the other person might slap him and tell him not to ask any more questions, so he suppressed the urge to ask.

Damn it, I'll kill these guys sooner or later!

Looking towards the rear of the army, Neilong sighed, "Gao Lai hasn't followed us yet; he must have really died in the Dark Space."

Gao Lai... that is, the man-eating player with the high nose, still hasn't shown up.

It is likely that Gao Lai is indeed dead.

Jinlian then lowered her voice and asked Fan Xiao, "What is the connection between Longxi Village... and the location of the 'Longxi Coast Lighthouse' you told us about?"

“They’re probably in the same area,” Fan Xiao replied in a low voice. “I’m not too sure about the specifics. We’ll see when we get there.”

"I never expected that Silver City would be playing the villain."

Among the couple of players, the woman with the low ponytail sighed softly, "Speaking of which... are we really going to slaughter the village?"

"Fool! In war, there's no such thing as good or bad. Don't you understand that?"

Upon hearing Low Ponytail's words, Neilong immediately sneered in a low voice, "I advise you not to do anything stupid! If we disobey the army's orders, we'll probably be dealt with. Will you resist then?"

How can ordinary people resist an army?

If they truly achieve this, then they are the "Demon Race".

Once someone is identified as a member of the Demon race, it's like being marked in a game instance; the Celestial race will naturally come looking for them.

Otherwise, Caesar, the true king, wouldn't have appeared so quickly in the events caused by Uncle Jian and his group of five.

To "display one's divine power" in public is a taboo.

Players who don't see this point are definitely going to be in trouble.

“Actually, we don’t have to kill anyone,” Fan Xiao suddenly said, “or rather… we’d better not kill anyone indiscriminately.”

"Oh?" Neilong asked, "Is there any explanation?"

"Humans killing humans is not the Celestial Race's business, so if we disguise ourselves as ordinary people and slaughter villages, we'll most likely get away with it. But..."

Fan Xiao cautioned, "If we accidentally expose our player identities... or rather, our demon race identities, then we might be targeted by King Caesar later."
