[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

A drizzle floated in the gloomy sky and fell into the river, making the faint stench of decaying corpses lingering in the Rogue Camp a little stronger.

Rogue Camp.

This is a camp built together by the survivors after the monster massacre. It is also the only place with living people in the entire bloody wasteland.

Every night, lying in the makeshift shack with my head resting on the rough wooden stakes, I could still vaguely hear the creepy growls of the corpse demons emanating from their throats.

Everyone in the camp was busy with their own things. When it was time for dinner, they would kill a chicken, put it into the pot with all the feathers and internal organs, and cook it together with wild vegetables and potatoes in a clay pot. Everyone of them ate with relish, and the sound of them wolfing down their food was very similar to the sound made by the demons wandering outside when they were tearing into corpses.

Ximen Chuixue, Lin Xian'er and Shi Guanyin were in the camp. They sat on a piece of freshly cut wood, in front of them was a bonfire that was about to burn out. A loud rumbling sound came from someone's stomach, and the three of them were embarrassed when the sound came out.

It's not that there was no food. Although the people in the camp were very cold towards their arrival, they didn't refuse to give them anything to eat. In front of them was a clay pot and a few broken bowls covered with mud. These were what Lin Xian'er had exchanged for a pair of earrings from an arrogant woman. In addition, there were a dozen or so pieces of black dry food. According to the people here, this thing was called "bread" and was very delicious.

Lin Xian'er was almost going crazy with hunger. She grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth. She took two bites and then naturally handed the remaining bread to her dearest teammate with her other hand.

"You must be hungry too. Even though this thing doesn't taste very good, it can at least fill your stomach."

When she said this, she hadn't completely swallowed the food in her mouth, but her eyes were moving, very gentle and sincere.

Shi Guanyin took it first, smelled it, didn't eat it, and passed it to Ximen Chuxue.

Bread may not taste good, but it definitely smells bad. But in this place, it's good enough to have something to eat, so why would you care about the taste? Besides, Ximen Chuxue is not a person who cares about food and drink.

He took a bite.

The bread was rough and dry, and it absorbed all the moisture in his mouth in an instant. It didn't matter. What mattered was that it was really sour and smelly! It was as sour as a bamboo lady that had been patinated by a naked man sleeping on it in the dog days of summer, and it smelled as if a wooden stick had stirred a dung bucket that had been settled for three hundred years.

As his lips and teeth opened and closed, the sour and stinking smell swept through his mouth and went straight to his head, reminding Ximen Chuxue of the time in midsummer when he passed by his own stable and smelled from afar a mixture of horse manure and urine, steamed by the scorching sun and wet by the dew... That's right, he felt that what he was eating was not food, but a bundle of straw that had been fermented for several days!
He swallowed a mouthful of straw, no, a mouthful of bread with great difficulty. He could no longer tell whether the sour smell in his mouth was from the food or from the stomach acid coming up from his esophagus.

Turning around, I saw that Lin Xian'er had already eaten three slices and was using a wooden spoon to scoop up the soup from the clay pot.

Ximen Chuxue really admired her. He could hardly swallow dry food, let alone the soup. There was no way he could think of spices as even salt was a scarce commodity here. He didn't know what was stewed in the earthenware jar. He could smell the smell of boiled chicken poop from two meters away.

The drizzle fell on the fire, making a continuous sizzling sound. Finally, Shi Guanyin couldn't bear it anymore, so she stood up and walked around twice, saying angrily: "How long are we going to stay here!"

She turned around twice more, sneering: "I never thought I would fall to this point, being with people like you!"

Lin Xian'er buried her face in the bowl and drank the soup wholeheartedly, while Ximen Chuxue's pale face was almost the same color as the chicken poop soup.

He also stood up, but his eyes fell on the distance: "It said that the three demon gods of hell must be killed and the World Stone must be destroyed, otherwise..."

Otherwise they would be trapped here for the rest of their lives, eating sour and smelly straw and drinking boiled chicken feathers.

After finishing her dinner, Lin Xian'er took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her mouth. She smiled and said, "I have just asked the people here. Going north from here, across a strait, there is a small country called Lugaoin, which is known as the Pearl of the Desert."

"The man in blue in front is called Warriv. He takes a ship to Lugain to deliver goods every once in a while."

Her beautiful eyes turned and she said, "Since this place is so desolate, why don't we..."

She said no more, for her meaning was clear enough.

Shi Guanyin was obviously tempted. A small country, the pearl of the desert, isn't this a coincidence? Before being brought here by the damn game, she had been planning to become the queen mother of a wealthy small desert country.

Now... although it was a game world, but thinking about their mission, to kill the devil of hell? She might as well conquer that country and live the rest of her life comfortably.

"What do you think?" Shi Guanyin looked at Ximen Chuxue.

Ximen Chuixue said: "I won't go."

"You're not going?" Shi Guanyin laughed sarcastically, "Do you want to stay here and kill those monsters? Is that what you mean? Am I understanding correctly?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "That's what I mean."

Lin Xian'er took a deep breath, lowered her head, and quickly raised it again, carefully choosing her words: "Did you not hear what the purple-robed woman said just now?"

The purple-robed woman was called Akara, and she escaped from a monastery. According to her, the demons had occupied the monastery, tortured and killed her sisters, and some of them were cursed by the demons. When they thought they had escaped, they did not hesitate to use their weapons to brutally kill the people around them. Lin Xian'er asked her tentatively: What if, what if, they wanted to kill the Hell Devil, what hope would they have of success?

Akara perked up when he heard this and immediately told him about the past of his predecessors. He said that the three demon gods of hell were called the King of Destruction, the King of Hatred, and the King of Sin. They had existed in hell since the birth of the world and were immortal.

Not to mention how difficult it is to kill them. Even if you have the ability to know everything, as soon as you kill them, they will be resurrected in hell and you will have killed them in vain.

There were three people who teamed up to fight against these demons, but they were not fighting against the three demons of hell, but their subordinates. After going through untold hardships, they sent them back to their happy hometown. But when they came back, it was terrible! It is said that one of them stabbed a stone carrying a demon into his forehead and was successfully possessed and became a vessel; one was resurrected by the demon after dying in the battle, and was forced to become a kind of demon, killing anyone he saw; one was also bewitched by the demon, studying black magic day and night, and then successfully upgraded to a new generation of demon king, taking over the baton of slaughtering mankind.

Akara was talking babble there, and Lin Xian'er was shaking as she listened, and tears were falling as she was shaking.

At that time, Ximen Chuxue was carrying wood in his left hand and holding a hammer in his right hand, and was concentrating on building a shack. There was no other way. It was getting dark and it was raining. If they didn't work quickly, the three of them would have to sleep in the wild.

Shi Guanyin was not idle either. She strolled around the camp and killed two red-skinned demons. She came back and shared her experience:
"It's not easy to kill. It took four stabs in the fatal part before he died."

Even the small monsters are like this, let alone the big monsters.

Lin Xian'er thought that Ximen Chuxue might have been too focused on his work and didn't hear anything. She was about to say it again, but Ximen Chuxue said, "I heard everything."

Shi Guanyin mocked, "Do you think you can win?"

Ximen Chuxue looked at the sword in his hand.

Of course he knew that his chances of winning were slim, but...

"If you fight, you may not win, but if you don't fight, you will definitely die."

Lin Xian'er immediately said: "It's really not safe here. We can go to Lu Gaoyin, where maybe..."

"No maybe, it's just as dangerous there." Ximen Chuxue looked at her and said coldly, "Now that you're here, do you think you have any other choice?"

He said, "Didn't you hear what that woman said? The monastery used to be a very safe place, but what about now? As long as those demons are still in the world, there is no safe place in this world."

"It's just the difference between dying in battle or waiting to die."

I don't know if it was because the rain was too cold, or because the words were too cold, but Lin Xian'er shivered and her calves were cramped, but she smiled sweetly and well-behavedly. She walked over step by step, gently pulled Ximen Chuxue's sleeve, and said softly, "Since you choose to fight, I will accompany you."

She slowly pulled her sleeve into her palm until she was almost touching Ximen Chuxue's hand, but she didn't continue. Instead, she let go of her sleeve and said, "No matter what you want to do, no matter where you want to go, I will be with you. Even if it means death, I am willing to die with you."

These words were of course extremely sincere and touching. In addition, Lin Xian'er was a stunning beauty. Even the most hard-hearted person would be moved by her.

This is of course also the method Lin Xianer uses most often. Her eyes, expression, posture, and even her breathing, every part of her is coordinated. With this method, no matter how dangerous the situation is, she can always use these words to send herself into an absolutely safe barrier.

She knew that any man would stand in front of her and fight for her until his last breath.

Ximen Chuxue was indeed a man, and was obviously moved by these words. He was looking at her, his pure black pupils were as black as ink and seemed to be beating.

Lin Xian'er almost cried out, how difficult it was! This zombie man who had been frozen for a thousand years finally started to look at her straight in the eye!

"I understand your intention," he said.

Lin Xian'er nodded slightly, then raised her eyes shyly, looking at the man in front of her shyly and timidly with her soft yet strong eyes.

Ximen Chuxue continued, "I was planning to meet those monsters tonight. Since you are willing to go with me, that's great!"

The soft yet strong eyes widened instantly.

"What weapon do you use?" Ximen Chuxue asked very seriously. It seemed that no matter what weapon Lin Xian'er mentioned, he could find it for her.

Lin Xian'er finally called out the voice in her heart:
Gan ah!
