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

At that time, let alone 5 defensive items overlapping, even 10 items overlapping together... might not be able to stop the pollution from the mutation.

"Could this be... the real, enormous crisis corresponding to the warning 'extreme danger of the night'?"

"The current monster army is only a localized aggregation of monsters, and the number active at any one time is limited. If I'm willing to take some risks... I might be able to solo this place. It's really not extremely dangerous..."

"It's contradictory... Hell is clearly in the middle of the night right now, and this real crisis is buried underground, yet it hasn't happened yet, and most of the monsters are asleep... Why is it so contradictory?"

While releasing blood and unleashing emotional magic in battle, Fan Xiao also multitasked, pondering in his mind.

What caused this contradiction?

His mind raced, and he quickly came up with a possibility.

"Could it be that this real crisis will only truly arrive after Hell has completely invaded the outside world and destroyed it? At that time, will all the monsters awaken?"

"But what's the point of a real crisis occurring when the world is destroyed and all the players are dead?"

"Unless... the destruction of the world itself does not cause the player to die. In the last loop, the reason I died was because of... these monsters?"

"No, that's not right. Even if all the monsters awaken, with my strength, and combined with the strange time-stopping ability that my junior sister just showed, we can probably survive if we cooperate with each other. These monsters shouldn't be able to kill us."

"So... there might be other dangers lurking beneath the surface?"

"Could this be the source of these monsters' appearance?"

Fan Xiao thought of many things in a short time.

Time quickly came to 12:13 AM.

Fan Xiao glanced back at the white light at the entrance to hell and found that the light had shrunk to the size of a door and its brightness had weakened considerably, making it appear somewhat translucent.

The external projections visible in the light no longer appeared real, but rather somewhat illusory and transparent.

"Everyone stop it!"

Fan Xiao immediately issued the order.

If they keep killing, and that last glimmer of light disappears, they might be trapped in hell, unable to escape.

Is this really okay?

The hooded girl suddenly appeared next to Fan Xiao and asked a question.

“The ability to use items in Hell is a huge advantage, and we must preserve this entrance just in case. Moreover, if the entrance disappears completely, we will be trapped here.”

Looking at the light not far away, Fan Xiao said, "The original whole circle of white light has shrunk to the size of a door. The time when Hell completely invades the outside world should be greatly delayed."

"We should have enough time to investigate intelligence."

At this point, he looked at Nelong and the others and smiled, "You are free."

Chapter 430 The baby was curious, but the baby wouldn't say.

Upon hearing Fan Xiao's words, the group of players remained standing still, not only not moving, but becoming even more tense.

They were a little worried about whether the other party would discard them after using them...

After all, once he leaves Hell and returns to the outside world, the items will no longer be usable, and this guy will lose his current huge advantage.

So... could he eliminate them beforehand to remove any potential threats?

If it were me, I would definitely do the same... Every player tensed up at this thought.

"I'm wondering if I should kill you all here beforehand to eliminate any potential threats?"

Fan Xiao glanced at them and asked.

No one answered.

Fan Xiao chuckled and said, "You guys are quite confident. I'm not afraid to tell you that my identity as a cannibal player is a disguise, and my strongest attack method is actually my talent."

"Well, I don't mind if you come looking for trouble with me after you return to the outside world."

"Don't worry, I'll stop short of killing them. At most, I'll cut off their limbs, but I won't take their lives."

"..."

Everyone's eyes twitched.

Fan Xiao waved his hand, no longer uttering any more words, indicating that they could leave.

His relaxed and casual actions did not reassure the crowd.

The 12 players, wary and cautious, slowly retreated towards the entrance/exit.

Seeing that Fan Xiao was standing still and hadn't moved, they felt slightly relieved and jumped into the dim white light, leaving hell.

Once they emerged and breathed in the sweet air of the outside world, all the players breathed a sigh of relief.

The outside world would suppress their spirits, and would seal off their access to the items... but at this moment, the outside world provided them with a great sense of security.

This contradictory feeling made all the players frown involuntarily, and they felt a lot of frustration.

However, all the frustration quickly dissipated with a sigh.

"Damn...!"

The young man with the samurai-like hair clenched his fists.

Thinking back to how Fan Xiao had used him as a scapegoat, picking him up like a dead dog and throwing him to the ground, causing him to lose face in front of everyone... the humiliation and shame filled him with immense anger.

His voice was low and menacing as he said through gritted teeth, "That damned guy... why does he have so many B-grade items? Damn it... beast...!!"

"That's enough," the handsome young man reminded us. "We haven't gone far yet, and he could come out at any time. If you start cursing now... don't drag us into it too."

After saying that, he moved a few steps away from the samurai's head.

The samurai leader frowned, glanced at him, then looked at the others and asked, "Are you all just going to accept this?"

"If they don't acknowledge it, what else can we do?"

The handsome young man sighed, "He dared to let us go so easily because he was confident that his talent could crush us. Even if we return to the outside world, we won't be able to do anything to him."

“Even… if he continues to threaten us, we might have to cooperate with his plan again.”

"Impossible! That guy is clearly bluffing!"

The samurai leader analyzed, "When he was tricking us into going to hell, he was always humble and submissive. There wasn't a trace of toughness in his attitude."

"If they weren't outmatched by us on the outside, why would such a reckless guy lower himself in front of us?"

“What you said makes some sense, so…” the handsome young man shrugged, “What are you planning to do?”

The samurai leader suggested, "If we cooperate, taking him down for revenge isn't impossible. Besides, he has a lot of B-grade items. Aren't you even a little bit tempted?"

"Hmph, someone equipped with a full set of B-grade items, you think you're a C-grade player? Are you stupid or am I stupid?"

Neilong sneered, "He's most likely a B-rank player. His talent has been upgraded one more time than ours, plus the B-rank evolution rate..."

“There’s no restriction that only B-rank players can own and equip B-rank items!” Samurai Head reminded him, “He might be a second-generation player.”

"Have you ever seen a second-generation player go into a dungeon by themselves?"

Nei Long's eyes turned cold: "Idiot! You still want to incite us to take action?"

"If you want to cooperate, that's fine. As long as you're the first to rush in and test that guy's talent, we'll cooperate with you to take him down."

"How about this?"

"..."

The samurai frowned but did not reply.

"So you were trying to trick someone into being the first to stick their neck out, huh?" Jinlian sneered. "Don't show off your pathetic intelligence in front of us. That guy surnamed Fan is much smarter than you. Do you think he wouldn't have thought of this? You think you can scheme like that... Heh."

"Let's go, ignore this idiot."

Neilong said to Jinlian and the other cannibal players, "Let's go to Longxi Village to investigate some information, find the Demon King's twin daughters, and ask them if they know anything about the 'Tomb of Guilt'."

The group nodded and quickly formed a team to leave the lighthouse.

The handsome young man looked at his teammates and said, "Let's go too. We need to find out what happened at the 'Tomb of Guilt.' Besides... it's nighttime now, it's not safe. We need to find a place to stay."

On the other side, the samurai-headed youth stared at the departing figures of the group, his face grim, engulfed in a state of impotent rage.

……

Inside Hell.

There are no more monsters in the area near the entrance and exit.

The monsters in other areas are asleep. As long as the player doesn't move into their territory, they will remain undisturbed and continue to sleep.

Therefore, this area is safe for the time being.

The hooded girl stayed behind with Fan Xiao.

She has questions to ask.

However... asking directly would seem like admitting she was stupid, so she chose a roundabout approach.

She said, "I think the 'Tomb of Guilt' is in hell. Let's go find it."

"Why do you think so?"

Fan Xiao glanced at his junior sister in surprise.

“One of your purposes in entering Hell is to kill monsters,” the hooded girl said. “The second purpose is to find the ‘Tomb of Guilt.’ I can tell, so stop pretending.”

"..." Fan Xiao: "You're the King of Knowledge?"

"The information you used to deceive other players sounds like it might be true, or at least that it's possible."

The hooded girl said coldly, "But you didn't ask the twins where their mother's grave is the whole time."

“You’ve ruled out that possibility outright… I think you already have a more accurate guess about the information regarding the ‘Tomb of Guilt’.”

"Not bad," Fan Xiao gave a thumbs up and praised, "You've seen things quite clearly."

“So,” the hooded girl glanced at him, “where are you going to look?”

Instead of answering the question directly, Fan Xiao brought up something unrelated: "Our first dungeon mission is to survive for seven days."

"Now that we have confirmed the existence of reincarnation, time can be reversed."

"So, if you survive for seven days... how do you think this 'seven days' should be calculated?"

"..."

The hooded girl frowned.

She had been so busy dealing with the monster crisis that she had overlooked this problem.

After thinking for a moment, she offered a guess: "Could it be based on the subjective time we experience?"

“That’s a possibility, but…” Fan Xiao shook his head and said, “It’s too simple.”

"Simple……"

The hooded girl thought for a moment and did not deny it.

She gained 21 loop attempts simply by killing two players from the opposing faction in the previous loop.

If "surviving for seven days" is based on the player's subjective experience of time... even if she can only live for one day in each reincarnation, she can easily survive for seven days.

Even if she doesn't kill anyone, she can barely survive for seven days on her own numbers—if the Hell invasion crisis really doesn't happen until after 3:20 pm tomorrow.

But...is it possible?

That's way too easy.

It's like the player just enters the dungeon pretending to be an ordinary person without any power, experiencing the local customs, and then clears the level.

As long as you're careful not to clash with the true King Caesar, calling this place a "tourist instance" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Thinking of this, the hooded girl looked at Fan Xiao and silently kept watching him.

She wanted to hear the other person's opinion, but she didn't want to ask proactively, as that would make her seem like an incompetent fool.

"During the battle with the monster army just now, I discovered some small ice fragments left on the ground, as well as many gullies and large holes in the earth."

Fan Xiao shared his experience in the report: "Some of the holes are very deep, and judging from the condition... it looks like someone made them with the intention of destroying the entire land."

"You're not suggesting that these marks are from our last reincarnation, are you?"

The hooded girl guessed what he meant.
