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

"you……!!"

Enraged, he immediately wanted to unleash his talents and items to retaliate.

However, the next second, a look of confusion appeared in the eyes of the samurai-headed youth: "What talents and tools did I have again...?"

"Brother... what are you doing...!?"

Nei Long quickly retreated several meters.

He felt an extremely strong sense of crisis!

The oppressive aura emanating from Fan Xiao at this moment even surpassed that of the roaring and writhing monster army outside the defensive perimeter.

The others were also startled by this scene. They quickly realized what was happening and retreated several meters to the outermost edge of the defensive perimeter, becoming wary and on guard.

"You bastard... what did you do to him!?"

The female player, dressed in a pure and innocent style, glanced worriedly at the samurai-haired youth, then angrily rebuked Fan Xiao: "Stop right now! Otherwise, don't blame us for killing you!"

“You’d better not say anything too arrogant,” Fan Xiao said with a slight smile, “that would make you look weak.”

The innocent-looking girl gritted her teeth and said, "You..."

"Brother Fan!" Nei Long forcefully interrupted the innocent-looking woman, his eyes flashing coldly as he looked at Fan Xiao: "You just said you lied to us... what exactly do you mean?"

"Literally, there is no clue about the 'Tomb of Guilt' at all."

Fan Xiao smiled and took a step forward.

Nei Long quickly retreated several steps until he was pressed against the defensive perimeter like the others, with nowhere left to retreat, before he stopped.

It's no wonder he reacted so strongly; the atmosphere surrounding Fan Xiao completely changed from the moment he made his move.

The air seemed to turn icy cold because of his murderous intent, and everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines... Just how many people had this guy killed to cultivate such a terrifying killing aura?!

"Why keep your distance? Do you think that greater distance will make you safer?"

Fan Xiao's lips remained slightly upturned, his expression seemingly gentle, but in reality revealing a calm and arrogant disdain for everything: "If that's what you think, then it's just unnecessary trouble. The distance in battle is only meaningful when both sides are of equal strength."

He looked at Nelong: "So between you and me, the fighting distance is meaningless."

"Make your move!! Cripple him first!!"

Nei Long shouted, his voice filled with intense fear.

Upon hearing this shout, apart from the five players who were setting up a defensive perimeter and the dazed young man with the samurai head kneeling on the ground, the other six players all chose to join in the attack.

Fan Xiao gave them a feeling that he was extremely dangerous!

However, in the next instant, three of the six players knelt on the ground like the samurai-headed youth, unable to get up again.

The remaining three players looked bewildered.

What was I about to do?... How many items did I have?... What level of player am I?... The three of them briefly forgot some of their memories and stood there dumbfounded.

The B-grade item "Land of the Vanished Gods" had already enveloped the entire defensive perimeter, and everyone was within the range of Fan Xiao's mental suppression and forgetfulness attacks.

The B-grade item "Master Tailor" has some limitations in its use—although it can conceptually connect four people at once, it can only be used to connect to the same person once a day.

To connect a second time, we'll have to wait until tomorrow.

At this moment, Fan Xiao is using the "Master Tailor" in combination with the "Blood Duke" to control the blood of the four people in real time.

Once he relinquishes control, it will have to wait until tomorrow to reconnect.

but……

This isn't really a problem.

Fan Xiao then released small blood blades formed from his own blood, which pierced into the bodies of all the players he controlled, merging into their blood.

The blood connection was established in the next instant.

After "Blood Duke" is upgraded to a B-grade item, as long as his blood successfully merges into the target's body, he will have control over the target's blood for 5 hours.

This is a five-fold increase compared to the previous one-hour time limit.

Of course, other players are unaware of these restrictions.

All they knew was that they were easily subdued by Fan Xiao like ants, and all their resistance... no, they didn't even have a chance to resist; it all became a joke.

Six players attacked together, but they were all killed in less than a moment.

This scene deeply affected the remaining five players who were maintaining their defensive equipment.

Their instinct was to flee this place...

"I advise you to behave yourselves."

Fan Xiao's voice was calm, yet unusually authoritative: "To walk on an ant without crushing it requires very precise control of the force. If you add a few of you to that... hey, I can't guarantee that everyone will survive."

Although it didn't have the effect of hairspray, after saying that, he still reached out his right hand and flicked his bangs back.

Under the effect of "Blood Duke", his black pupils turned red, making him even more oppressive.

Even the hooded girl standing not far away subconsciously tensed up and became alert, her brows furrowed... The situation was somewhat beyond her expectations!

She had originally planned to salvage the situation if Van Miguel's career went wrong.

result……

She instinctively felt a strong sense of defensiveness.

At this moment, the players affected by the "Land of the Fallen Gods" recalled the memories they had just forgotten. The confusion in their eyes disappeared, replaced by great fear.

This method of attacking memories... is truly terrifying!

Their spirit is being suppressed, making it difficult even for their talents to function.

In addition, the irregular flow of blood in their bodies also brought them great weakness and pain. In their dazed state, their heads felt heavy... as if a mountain was pressing down on them.

If they don't grit their teeth and persevere, they could lose consciousness at any moment.

Is this guy in front of me really just a C-rank player?

Why is the gap so huge...?

"It's already so difficult to deal with the blood abnormalities... It seems that the evolution rate of C-level players is just like this."

Fan Xiao looked at the kneeling crowd, his words laced with sarcasm.

He squeezed out a tiny blood blade from his fingertips and cast an emotional spell.

Boom! A violent explosion of flames descended, instantly raising the temperature of the air within the defensive perimeter.

Seeing this scene and feeling the terrifying heat, all the kneeling players trembled with fear.

"Very good, it seems you have come to understand your situation."

Fan Xiao grinned and said, "Now I can make you explode or catch fire from the inside with just a flick of my finger, leaving only a clump of ash in the blink of an eye."

"Why are you……"

The handsome young man's voice was somewhat broken.

He struggled to stay alert and avoid losing consciousness... This consumed almost all of his energy and even affected his language skills.

"I'll only say this once, so listen carefully."

Fan Xiao's tone became more serious: "Next, you'll have to cooperate with me to eliminate the monsters near the entrance to hell."

"As for how many to eliminate... Hell is invading the outside world, and the extent of the invasion can probably be judged by the amount and brightness of the light at the entrances and exits. Killing monsters can stop Hell from invading."

"Therefore, we must keep fighting until the light at the entrance diminishes and dims to a suitable level before we can stop."

"I will decide what is appropriate."

Next, he proposed a battle plan—to wage a protracted war intermittently through the coordination of defensive layers.

After revealing his battle plan, his voice turned cold, regaining its oppressive quality: "Let me warn you in advance, I possess an item that grants me physical immortality, as well as items that provide mental protection and suppression. You can try to resist me, but if you fail to kill me in one go... hey, I'm a very petty person, and I take revenge almost instantly. If I can kill you, I'll kill you on the spot. As for those who want to run..."

Fan Xiao revealed a cold smile.

The next second, he disappeared from the spot and reappeared behind the samurai-headed youth.

He grabbed the samurai by the back of the neck and lifted him up as if he were a dead dog.

"A teleportation device...!?"

The handsome young man looked surprised.

The others' eyes widened for a moment, then their faces turned extremely grim.

Now there's no way to run away...

This guy's prop lineup is way too luxurious!

Are they all B-grade items?

This……

Now they can't fight back, and they can't run away... The other side could ignite their blood in an instant and burn them to ashes... In order to survive, they have no choice but to submit.

"If I find out who dares to run away..."

Fan Xiang tossed the samurai-headed youth aside as if he were trash, saying, "I don't mind killing a few people first to give you a warning."

"Alright, let's begin the operation."

As soon as he finished speaking, all seven players who were being controlled felt their blood return to calm, no longer burning or raging.

The intense dizziness subsided, and after regaining their composure, they all stood up and cast extremely wary glances at Fan Xiao.

"Get to work," Fan Xiao said with a smile. "As long as you listen to us, we'll still be good teammates."

I have to say, bullying the players is quite fun.

The monsters in this hellish space were very incompatible with him, and when they fought, he felt a sense of frustration, as if he were being targeted—because item combos and forgetfulness attacks had no effect on these monsters.

He's forced to be submissive when facing monsters, but when it comes to players... he can definitely deliver a powerful blow!

"You... are a B-rank player?"

The handsome young man mustered his courage and asked Fan Xiao a question.

"Hehe..." Fan Xiao said, "Guess?"

"..."

The handsome young man didn't ask any more questions.

The samurai-haired youth glanced at the spot where the hooded girl was standing.

"What, getting naughty again? Trying to drag her into fighting me?"

Fan Xiao glanced at him and said sarcastically, "What a pity, she's one of my people too."

The hooded girl didn't reply, which was taken as tacit agreement.

This scene filled everyone with despair.

In this instance, is there no one who can keep this guy in check?

……

Forced by Fan Xiao's tyranny, the 14 players had no choice but to unite and use the defensive layer formed by the 5 items to fight intermittently against the gradually closing monster army.

Not all defensive items have the ability to retract freely.

Most defensive items have a fixed and unchangeable form once activated—for example, a fixed-size energy barrier cannot be manipulated by the player to create a hole in a certain part of the barrier.

This type of protection will undoubtedly hinder many players from launching attacks.

Therefore, in order for the annihilation battle to proceed smoothly, Fan Xiao and the others had to withdraw their defenses from time to time, enduring the monsters' aberration damage and physical attacks, and forcibly take action.

Fortunately, Fan Xiao's judgment was correct—when multiple players act together, the increased number of targets does indeed help to distribute the aberration damage caused by the monster army.

If you get hit a little, and I get hit a little, the damage won't be fatal in a short time, allowing us to fight for longer.

When you can't hold on any longer, set up defensive structures and hide inside to recover, take some medicine, and you'll be ready to fight again with renewed vigor.

Using this method, they steadily cleared out the monsters in the area surrounding the entrance and exit.

During the battle, Fan Xiao also noticed a detail—wherever they moved, the monsters in that area would awaken and attack them.

He guessed that this was a kind of "care" the dungeon gave to players.

Otherwise... if the monsters beneath the earth were to awaken at the same time, hell would likely witness a grotesque spectacle.
