[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

In order to fight monsters this time, everyone had made detailed arrangements the night before departure.

First of all, everyone agreed that they would never use any skills unless it was a life-and-death situation - even if it was a life-and-death situation, it was best not to use Xiaolongnu's skills.

Secondly, if you draw a skill during a battle, be sure to inform your teammates to avoid the embarrassing situation of drawing a skill but not knowing how to use it or accidentally injuring your teammates.

Finally, tactical master Shangguan Jinhong put forward his own suggestions for personnel deployment.

Everyone should act separately, especially those who have drawn skills. The group with the highest martial arts skills should follow the Taoist priest who is tying his shoelaces to lead the charge. They don't need to use any tactics, just rush in and kill people. Tian Boguang, who is collecting weapons, is with those who are good at light skills or boxing and kicking skills. They should mainly attack by scattering and sneaking, and run away if they encounter tough guys. Hu Fei, who is playing the game of eagle catching chickens, will lead some people who are not very good at martial arts but are good at hidden weapons. This way, they can fight and protect themselves at the same time, which is the best of both worlds. When facing the demon king Duriel, everyone will gather here and rush up to beat him up.

As for Miss Lei Chun, she should not go in but stay outside the palace to provide support.

Before entering the palace, Shangguan Jinhong specially connected with Shi Potian live. This innocent boy got the script of a concubine who suffered from bullying in the general's mansion, and it was really worthy of his script. When Shangguan Jinhong saw him, he was cleaning the toilet in the servant's room, and he was quite happy while doing it. He was also muttering the formula of teaching the original owner the Snow Mountain Sword Technique.

Shangguan Jinhong barely suppressed the urge to beat him up and told him that he had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well keep an eye on this side during the live broadcast. If things went wrong, he would notify Lei Chun and ask her to use the dad summoning technique to get everyone out.

Shi Potian agreed readily, as excited as a happy dog.

Li Mochou was even more busy. She had given up on such an inefficient and stupid task as handing out flyers and directly wrote the best wishes for herself on her clothes. On her sky-blue Taoist robe, there was a row of words written in neat, tiny calligraphy.

"This is a secret unknown to the public. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Li Mochou, a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, is known as the Red Snake Fairy, but few people know her true identity. She is the world master of the Infinite Chamber Game, and the game exists because of her. On the third day after entering the dark world, she awakened her memories and magical powers. Wherever she went, monsters were wiped out with a wave of her hand. She also comprehended great magical powers and great magic power, and her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. She also cast a curse that her junior sister would step on dog shit whenever she went out."

There are only a dozen people in the live broadcast room at present, plus teammates, the prerequisites for triggering skills are enough. Now it's time to gamble on luck.

Not sure if it was good luck or bad luck. Li Mochou tried again and again, but couldn't achieve the effect of making the monsters turn into ashes by just raising her hand. She asked the game for a cup of honey tea, but the game didn't even say a word. It was obviously not the right attitude to treat a master. But when she went out this morning, Xiaolongnu really stepped on a pile of dog shit, and kicked one at a time. Seeing her pupils trembling and her face flushed, Li Mochou laughed out loud, and regretted why she didn't write that a meteorite fell from the sky and smashed her to death. What a mistake.

But at least one of her skills worked, which gave Fairy Chi Lian a lot of confidence. When she returns, she can still perform the skill however she wants, right?

Everything was ready and the palace gate was open. After looking at their magic boxes and staffs, Jerhain said that these things were very useful and asked them to keep them well. Then he made way for the stairs leading to the monster's lair behind him.

……

Ximen Chuxue walked in the eerie and mysterious palace.

This was supposed to be the residence of the women, but now it has become a monster's lair.

The palace was actually quite bright, with copper pillars burning with blazing flames everywhere, making the golden furnishings even brighter. But it still made people feel palpitating, perhaps because of the strange sound that echoed in the empty palace, which was so sharp that it made people feel nervous. It was mysterious and lonely, like the desperate howling of a person who was tortured and dying.

Or perhaps it was because, in the darkness where the firelight could not reach, there was dried blood and body parts.

Shi Guanyin was pierced in the shoulder blade and was seriously injured. Ximen Chuxue was also suffering from the pain. He did not take the potion because he was torturing himself.

His steps were firm and steady, with a sense of sacred solemnity, but his heart was already crawling and wriggling in the dark and twisted state, spasming, rolling, splitting, and growling eerily... He recalled the confrontation over and over again in his mind.

He drew his sword against her with the intention of dying together with Shi Guanyin.

Over such a long time, he really had endured her too many times. He thought that his patience would be exchanged for superficial peace, but he didn't expect it to be an even more severe conspiracy!
She actually stuffed worms into his clean clothes! His clothes were crawling with earthworms! She also gave him laxatives! Poor him, he thought there was something wrong with his stomach!
None of the monsters here had dealt such severe critical damage to Ximen Chuixue, and the damage was second only to the raw materials of the red potion. In addition, he had endured the humiliation he had endured in recent days - being humiliated by his old enemy - being watched and laughed at by more than 200 people - being controlled by a skill and breaking down and crying... After all, the pressure a person can bear is limited. When the pressure reaches a critical point, people will always do something irrational.

For example, dying together.

Of course, dying together and dying together are also different. Ximen Chuixue thought that he would kill Shi Guanyin and then die because of the connection between his teammates, but the fact is that he gave his all, but the other party did not.

He didn't want to live anymore, but Shi Guanyin still wanted to live very much. She only defended herself and didn't fight back. If she hadn't been determined to snatch Ximen Chuxue's sword, she probably wouldn't have been injured.

So what will it look like when she actually takes action?

Ximen Chuxue had never seen it, but he was certain that without the game points, he would most likely not be her opponent.

No match for her!

In fact, failing to kill her was already a defeat, and being alive after defeat was even more of a shame!

As we walked deeper into the palace, we saw fewer and fewer human limbs and more and more corpses left by monsters.

Skeletons, minotaurs, goat-headed monsters, wizards in robes, monsters with insect lower bodies and upright human upper bodies, and piles of corpses with blood and smelly dark green slime beneath them.

This is the thirteenth limit of the Yuan Dynasty.

He killed these monsters, so where is he? Is Lin Xian'er with him?
Below the women's residence is a secret prison. A marble staircase with patterns and gold inscriptions spirals down. It is so quiet down there that one can hear the whistling of the cold wind passing through the hall.

Ximen Chuxue clenched the sword in his hand.

The cold light chilled his brows.

No matter what the road ahead holds, he must fight his way through here, or... die here in battle.

The underground was very vast, so vast that Ximen Chuxue seemed to think that the people of Lu Gaoin actually lived underground, and they lived on the ground because it was occupied by monsters.

He walked for a long time before he encountered a living monster.

The monster was similar in shape to a human, with long hair that reached down to its waist and was messy like straw. Its exposed arms were blue, and its black nails were like awls embedded in its fingers. On the back of its hands, the blue veins completely protruded, coiled on the skin, making it look extremely hideous.

When Ximen Chuxue found it, it was lowering its head and cutting open the abdomen of a female corpse tied to the torture bed. Its sharp black nails were still hooked on a section of intestine.

"Turn around." Ximen Chuxue said.

He would not stand behind and draw his sword, even if the opponent was a monster.

The monster paused, then slowly turned around, revealing her face.

Ximen Chuxue's breathing suddenly stopped, and his heart felt like it was hit hard by a hammer.

The monster actually had Lin Xianer's face!

The monster, or Lin Xian'er, had a blue face with black, cracked streaks all over it. Her eyes were originally beautiful and passionate, but now, those bright eyes were gone, replaced by a lifeless paleness like a dead fish.

But she is indeed Lin Xianer!
When she looked at Ximen Chuxue, there was the same horror in her eyes. She was trembling. She grabbed her long hair with her hands and screamed heart-wrenchingly.

Ximen Chuxue put down his sword.

There was already sticky sweat on his palms.

A few months ago, when he killed the Blood Crow, he had had such a dream. He dreamed that he turned into a monster, crawled out of a coffin, threw away his sword, and attacked humans with a pair of claws. In the end, his head was chopped off by the assembled warriors and nailed to the sarcophagus. His soul broke free from the ugly body and dissipated before dawn, wailing in pain.

Now, this terrible dream has become a reality, except that the one who has degenerated into a monster is not himself, but Lin Xian'er.

It’s Lin Xian’er…

"Do you understand me?" he asked.

Lin Xianer nodded.

Ximen Chuixue asked: "How did you become like this?"

Lin Xian'er fell into pain again. She raised her head and let out a desperate howl. The rusty voice squeezed out of her throat: "I... curse... the curse of the King of Pain... the ancient tomb, the room... is full of torture instruments... ah——" She screamed in pain, and a pair of black claws scratched her face, leaving bloody marks.

"This is not my face... This is not! This is not me!"

She howled and attacked Ximen Chuixue with her claws like a real monster.

Ximen Chuxue did not move, nor did he draw his sword. Instead, he grabbed Lin Xian'er's hand with his left hand, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly.

"calm."

This action affected his injury. Ximen Chuxue frowned. His voice was already hoarse, and coupled with the pain, his words were broken as soon as they came out.

He continued to ask in a broken voice: "Where is Yuan Shisanxian? Where is that monster?"

Lin Xian'er was trembling all over. After a long while, she said, "I don't know, I don't know! The yellow stone... yes, the stone. He inserted the stone into his heart..."

Do you remember the legend that circulated in the Rogue Camp? Three warriors went together to kill the Demon King, but they found out in despair that the Demon King could not be truly killed, but could only be sealed, and the thing that sealed them was the Soul Stone.

One of the three warriors was chosen by the devil, who bewitched him into stabbing the soul stone into his forehead. As a result, the warrior became the devil's vessel. He used the knife that killed the devil to kill his companions, causing them to degenerate into demons.

Ximen Chuxue's heart gradually sank.

He really didn't know what to do. Although Lin Xian'er was not dead yet, she had become like this. Humans would no longer accept her, and even she herself would not accept herself.

What is more troublesome is Yuan Shisanxian. He has become a vessel for the devil. Where is he now? Is he still alive? If he dies, can his teammates still survive?

Hasn't Ye Gucheng been gone for a long time?

For a moment, her thoughts were in a mess, but Lin Xian'er couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Do you want to kill me? I don't want to die, I don't want to die! I survived with great difficulty! I didn't turn into a monster... He cursed me... A curse! Yes, a curse!"

She seemed to wake up from her trance, and then seemed to go crazy, shouting, "I'm cursed! I'm not a monster! I'm not a monster!"

Ximen Chuixue said: "You are not."

After a while, the person who was firmly clamped gradually calmed down. She lowered her head and looked at her hands - her fingers.

That night when they were alone, she put a piece of crispy candy into his mouth, along with her finger, and gently swept her tongue over the fingertips... Lin Xian'er always felt that finger was often hot.

She suddenly stopped crying, slowly turned around, and looked up at Ximen Chuxue.

"You're here to save me."

"No." Lin Xian'er looked at his face: "You cried, didn't you?"

Ximen Chuixue said nothing.

Lin Xian'er continued: "You did this for me..."

"No."

"I don't believe it!" Lin Xian'er said, "I don't believe it! I know, I know everything, you actually love me! You have me in your heart! When you see me with others, you are so jealous that you are almost going crazy!"

She wiped away her tears. Under the monster's skin, under those dead fish-like eyes, it seemed as if something was struggling, popping up like mushrooms after rain.

"You are worried about me, you are sad for me, but you refuse to admit it! You don't allow yourself to fall in love with a woman like me!"

Ximen Chuxue remained silent, and there was some pity in his eyes when he looked at Lin Xian'er.

He knew what kind of person she was. He had always known that in her eyes, everything about herself was tradeable, her body, emotions, youth, and beauty. She had always set a very high price for herself.

The reason why she could do this, the reason why she could trade her body without any burden, was because she seemed to be born lacking a certain kind of emotion.

She can't love others, let alone herself.

This is no longer the case.

She seemed to be crying, laughing, and also crazy: "But I have fallen in love with you..."

Sometimes, even we ourselves cannot distinguish between love and hate.

Lin Xian'er felt that she should hate him. She hated the man in front of her for never being willing to succumb to her temptations, for being so cold and heartless, and for being so high and mighty and insolent!

Sometimes she really hated that he couldn't die immediately!

Even she herself realized only later that all her hatred came from love.

"I have always... always loved you... but I have become like this..."

She cried, covered her face, and almost fell down.

Ximen Chuxue just watched, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Even he himself was not sure whether he would become like this in the near future.

"In my opinion, you haven't changed at all." Ximen Chuxue said seriously: "You are still you."

Lin Xian'er suddenly raised her head, a hint of surprise and astonishment flashed across her eyes. Soon, when she understood this sentence, her eyes turned completely into loss.

"I knew you would never admit it, not before and certainly not now."

Ximen Chuxue no longer looked at her, his eyes fell on the darkness ahead.

"Perhaps... I have found a way to break the curse." Lin Xian'er lowered her eyes and murmured, "I should have known it."

She said, "I'll take you to find that monster, okay?"

Ximen Chuxue walked in front, and Lin Xian'er followed behind him, giving instructions from time to time: "I was in a daze when I woke up. I only remember that there was a door there, and there was a glowing magic circle inside the door. Yuan Shisanxian led me through the magic circle, and I don't remember what happened afterwards very clearly."

She seemed very scared. The underground cell was so dark. From time to time, she could see the bodies of monsters under her feet, with their mouths wide open and their sinister fangs exposed.

She had been walking next to Ximen Chuxue, very close. In front of a closed iron gate, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Ximen Chuxue.

Hug him from behind.

A sharp knife had protruded from Ximen Chuxue's chest, and drops of blood were sliding down from the blade.

The hand holding the knife was still as ugly and weird, with fresh and sticky blood still on the nails.

But just after the knife was stabbed out, the hand had changed. The dark blue skin faded and turned into jade-like white, and the withered long hair became smooth and shiny black again, like a piece of fine brocade.

The pale, lifeless eyes were like green hills after rain, empty and hazy, and the dark pupils seemed to be covered with fog.

The sharp knife was pulled out, Ximen Chuxue spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered two steps, knelt down, and then fell slowly onto the icy ground.

There is actually more than one way to break a curse: killing the caster. Another way is to let the curse come true.

The curse given to her by Duriel, the Lord of Pain, was that you will kill the one you love most.

She already knew how to get rid of this ugly body, and she was determined to do so, even if the price was death.

Lin Xian'er looked at her hand and laughed. Of course, she would not survive the stab with the knife, but there was a mad fire burning in her eyes. Blood flowed back, overflowed from the corners of her mouth, and slid down her beautiful face, adding a touch of poignant beauty.

"So... I really do love you..."

Of course, she was able to successfully launch a sneak attack because of the curse.

Because of the curse, if you stab the person you love the most, he or she will definitely hit you and die.

……

"When the happy pond is planted, the dream becomes the ocean~ The bulging eyes and big mouth sing just as loudly! Lend me a pair of small wings, and I can fly to the sun..."

When a happy, childlike song sounded from Chu Liuxiang's body and echoed in the quiet night of the hospital, Chu Liuxiang suddenly woke up from his sleep. Because he got up too quickly, the gunshot wound on his back was bleeding, but he didn't care. He struggled to get up from the bed, holding on to the IV stand beside him, and moved out step by step.

By the time he reached the door of the ward, cold sweat was pouring down his face.

The music was really loud, and soon, the sound of a baby crying could be heard from the next ward. Shen Bijun hurried out in her coat, and was shocked when she saw Chu Liuxiang standing at the door of the ward: "What's wrong? Who is that sound..."

Her face was equally pale, because she was enduring the same pain that Chu Liuxiang was suffering.

Chu Liuxiang knocked his hands against the door frame and said with pain, "Wake up everyone and leave immediately, quickly!"

His skill is infinite inspiration. When he is in danger, his body will automatically play a song to warn him!
Shen Bijun did not dare to hesitate. Lin Shiyin had been awake the whole time, but she had just had a caesarean section, so how could she just leave? In addition, she had to share Chu Liuxiang's pain, so she couldn't even move in bed despite the pain, and her face was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Guan Minghui was the first to pack up. She was always alert and never took off her clothes before sleeping, sometimes not even taking off her shoes. As soon as she heard Chu Liuxiang's voice, she immediately picked up the child and put him on Lin Shiyin's bed, and threw bottles, diapers and other things on the bed, then pushed the bed out in a hurry.

"Brother Chu, we are ready. What happened? Where are we going?" He paused and said with a strange expression: "This sound...isn't it your cell phone alarm?"

Chu Liuxiang said, "There's no time to explain. Let's go! Go to the elevator and the underground parking lot."

Neither Shen Bijun nor Guan Minghui said anything more. They went from room to room to call people. After a while, Dong Jianhui's family, Zhang Runcheng and his daughter, and Mr. He and his grandson all came out. The lights were on in the corridor. Everyone was in a bad mood and complained one after another. The corridor was noisy.

The cheerful song had stopped, but Chu Liuxiang's expression became uglier, because even without using his skills to sound the alarm, he could hear where the danger came from.

Soon, everyone heard the sound of danger.

Late at night, the zombies rioted, roaring as if they were desperate for food, and swarmed towards the building.

The lights in the elevator lit up one by one, and everyone's heart was hanging. Dong Jianhui suggested that the door of the underground garage was sturdy, so why not everyone hide inside now and go back after the swarm of zombies dispersed.

Half of the people agreed, but Mr. He opposed.

"Don't forget, there's no door at the garage exit! Even though it's hidden there, there's no guarantee that zombies won't break in! It's pitch dark here, drive out quickly before you're surrounded by zombies!"

Guan Minghui objected.

"How do you know the zombies haven't surrounded us? If they have, we'll be dead if we get out!"

Zhang Runcheng had already started cursing, slapping his legs and jumping up and down, saying, "Damn it, I've only had a few days of peace! Can God please give me a chance to live? What should I do?"

Her daughter was frightened and started crying loudly. When she cried, the baby started crying too, and everyone was upset by her crying.

Ding—the elevator door opened, and the underground garage was dark. Everyone was about to leave when Chu Liuxiang suddenly said, "Wait! Go back!"

"Go back?" Shen Bijun looked at Chu Liuxiang in surprise.

Chu Liuxiang had already closed the elevator door and pressed the button for the top floor.

"This is no coincidence."

In the elevator, Chu Liuxiang said, "This is a busy city, and zombies may pass by occasionally, but there won't be so many of them, and they won't come so suddenly."

"You mean... someone deliberately..."

Zhang Runcheng said: "But even if we get to the rooftop, we can't escape. I heard the noise outside..."

boom--

There was a loud bang, the sound of a glass door shattering.
