HandsomeBoyMe188 asked in a sarcastic tone, "Why didn't you say that when Invincible Black Cyclone was here?"
Instant Noodle Hair Flower Fairy was completely unfazed, and chuckled softly: "When Invincible Black Cyclone was around, did you see Shadowkill dare to show his face?"
Subway Line 5 didn't say anything, but his expression was clearly not as calm as before. They were all the number one players of their respective districts; nobody was willing to submit to anyone except Invincible Black Cyclone.
Master Huixin sighed in frustration, reciting, "Amitabha! Dear benefactors, please do not argue. Discord invites harm; only by trusting one another can you protect yourselves and your companions. If you all trust this humble monk, I am willing to take the lead, and I will—"
"No, no, Master, I can't understand you. I did poorly in school, dropped out after junior high. Your speech is like classical Chinese; how could a poor student like me make sense of it?"
Instant Noodle Hair Flower Fairy was a troublemaker at heart. She might not have made herself an enemy of the entire district, but she had basically offended everyone she could. If not for her strong abilities, she would never have survived this long.
So her earlier meekness was definitely situational.
Master Huixin's face darkened again. Not only did his face darken, but his eyes also reddened, and a violent aura began to emanate from him. Yet he still stared at the crowd with a calm, watery gaze...
Since the two teams split up, the camera view had also split in two.
The stark contrast in team atmosphere between Master Huixin's team and Invincible Black Cyclone's team was broadcast plainly to all the players.
The barrage commentators, as expected, once again outdid themselves.
"Seriously, Invincible Black Cyclone is the one who says everything nice and nasty. Before cooperating, I thought she had a sense of the big picture, but now I realize, she puts on a good act."
"More work equals more reward, what's wrong with that? The era of the communal pot is long gone. History has already told you how many slackers and leeches it fostered!"
"That cooperation with twelve people earlier was so cool! Don't understand why they had to split up. For a little benefit, was it really necessary?"
"Back in the day, teams relying on the communal pot looked 'unified' too, but over time, the hard workers got disheartened, and the group fell apart. I actually think it's best to speak up like Invincible Black Cyclone when you have an idea. Those willing to cooperate can stay, and those with different ideas can leave, avoiding a lot of conflict."
"Bunch of lackeys! Just stay happy as leeks."
"Don't make me curse you out, bitch! A turtle looking in the mirror—all you see is a turtle face! Carrying that thing on your neck, you actually think you're human? With your IQ, even as a leek, you'd lag behind in photosynthesis. Go find a corner to chill and stop annoying people here! Otherwise, report your district coordinates, and I'll teach you a lesson in person. I'm from District 88, come at me! I welcome all trash talkers, whether you want words or a fight!"
Dongfang Yuan was very busy. Now that she didn't lack supplies, she didn't make money by cursing people out every day. She was frantically clicking "+1", working hard to send barrages to support Qi Xu, her fingers moving nonstop.
But when she saw such a troll, she couldn't hold back and unleashed a torrent of abuse!
Sure enough, as soon as offline fights were mentioned, the unpleasant comments immediately decreased.
This wasn't like before the survival game, where you could be an internet troll without consequences. If someone had some magical gadget and managed to locate you, losing your life would be no joke.
And claiming to reveal your coordinates and nickname directly in front of all players on the national server—even a fool could tell it was a pro. Those armchair experts who had been boasting so arrogantly all fell silent one by one.
Only then did Dongfang Yuan feel at ease and continue clicking "+1", thinking that when Qi Xu came out and saw this, she would surely be very happy...
When all twelve had made their choices, the Dense Forest Escape officially began!
From deep within the forest, several roars rang out first, and then the entire ground began to tremble, as if monsters were approaching from all directions...
Within just a few seconds of the roars appearing, the figures of various monsters in the dense forest were already visible.
There were Rotheart Vines and Stone Golems they had encountered before, as well as countless giant jungle pythons and aerial birds.
Because the number of monsters was so massive, looking from a distance, it seemed as if the entire forest itself was moving.
Both teams that had split up simultaneously felt this deadly "beautiful atmosphere."
All members of both teams had already turned their legs into spinning wheels, while their mouths kept reminding themselves, "Damn legs, run!"
Qi Xu had a clear idea and knew what they would face, but...if she wanted the ending of victory to be more memorable, the twists and turns in the process were absolutely necessary.
Besides, only in life-and-death situations could one's potential and fighting spirit be infinitely stimulated. It was rare to have so many number one players from different districts gathered together—what a great training opportunity!
So she didn't choose the completely safe path. Instead, she deliberately took a thrilling and dangerous detour. After all, the breaking point was right in front of them. By playing it a bit more flashy...maybe someone's skill could even level up.
Still, Qi Xu couldn't help but feel a little regret. If Sis Knockout were around in a scene like this, she would definitely blow everyone on the server away!
Since she couldn't let her have the thrill of action, Qi Xu would at least make sure she got a feast for the eyes! Qi Xu gripped her twin blades tightly, ready to have a good fight.
The aerial pursuers arrived first. Over a dozen Iron-Feathered Vultures with wingspans of nearly two meters swooped down, their razor-sharp talons glinting dazzlingly in the sunlight...
Qi Xu went against normal tactics. Instead of retreating, she charged forward!
Even more so, she teleported directly into the air, landing in the middle of the swarm of Iron-Feathered Vultures. Her pink mist blades swirled around her, violently carving a gap through the pack!
With superb skill and daring, she flipped her body mid-air, lying back and spinning upward. Crossing her twin blades before her chest, her rapidly rotating body created a fierce current of air as the blades precisely locked onto the descending vulture talons. With a sharp metallic "clang," the cold light and iron feathers clashed, showering sparks.
Then, taking advantage of the momentum, she twisted her waist and turned over, her twin blades smoothly slashing the left wing of the nearest Iron-Feathered Vulture, sending a stream of black blood splattering.
The other vultures were stunned into hesitation by this unconventional attack. The once airtight encirclement instantly revealed a gap for breathing.
Qi Xu landed, adjusted for a split second, and then launched another sudden strike into the air! Her skills sealed off the paths, and her twin blades hacked wildly, fully illustrating what violent aesthetics truly meant.
Pink mist blades wove into an impenetrable killing net, entangling the vultures' wings as she stepped on a vulture's talon, vaulted into the air, and drove her twin blades reversibly, deep into the vulture's neck. Black blood splattered, and immediately she spun to slash the wings of another vulture, her movements clean and unhesitating.
In just a few seconds, she had directly cut down two of those massive airborne beasts and severely wounded three more!
