[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Hot and humid wind, drizzling rain, trees blocking out the sun, and the endless night.

In the huge Kurast harbor, the only sound was the sound of rain hitting felt cloth. The dark sky flashed from time to time, but there was no thunder.

It was midnight when Ximen Chuxue returned.

Shi Guanyin's helmet had obviously been upgraded. The first three punches only caused slight pain in the finger bones, but now it hurt terribly. Ximen Chuxue could still bear it, but Lin Xian'er couldn't. She cried out and covered her hand, her cheek twitching in pain.

"Hi." Shi Guanyin greeted with a smile. Her dress now was no different from that of the locals. She wore a layer of iron armor over a bright red silk dress, a sword and a medicine bottle hung on her metal belt, and her long leather boots had pointed toes and a little heel.

This set of armor is very light but not cheap, costing tens of thousands of gold coins. The defensive effect is very good. After being beaten to death by Mephisto's tail, his arms and legs were gone, but the parts covered by the armor were still intact.

Ximen Chuxue never had the habit of wearing armor, and always wore white clothes. The white clothes were thin, and he carried a black-sheathed long sword on his back, and there was nothing else to worry about.

It is the same now, he carries no baggage.

When she saw his attire, Shi Guanyin's smile disappeared.

"Before I took you back, I seemed to have told you to be ready." Shi Guanyin paced back and forth: "Where are your things?"

Ximen Chuixue looked at her: "Things?"

Shi Guanyin said: "Of course it is something that woman gave you, something you exchanged for your innocence."

Ximen Chuixue: "..."

...No matter what, the fact that he waited for me on such a lonely rainy night is the friendship between teammates. It's not worth getting angry over a few sarcasm.

Although he really wanted to draw his sword and stab a dozen holes in her body.

He walked around Shi Guanyin and went straight back to his own shack. This disdainful attitude made Shi Guanyin so angry that he almost set the shack on fire. It took Lin Xianer's persuasion to persuade him to stop.

The shack was stuffy and the blanket on the floor was damp, so damp that water seemed to be wrung out of it. Ximen Chuxue could only lie down and endure it.

Just when he felt a little sleepy, a faint firelight floated in from outside, reflecting Lin Xianer's extremely beautiful face. She leaned over and came in with a smile, lying beside him very naturally. She hung the kerosene lamp on the roof of the shack, and the small shack was suddenly filled with light.

"Get out." Ximen Chuxue said with his eyes closed.

Lin Xian'er said softly, "Oh, you are such a heartless person. I have been waiting for you to come back for most of the night, but you want me to leave? Don't forget that I was sleeping next to you... Speaking of which, you ignored me after that time. Do you really hate me?"

The "that time" she mentioned was the time when she was cursed by Duriel and stabbed him in the back. If Ximen Chuxue had been nice to her before that, after that, he simply didn't want to even look at her again.

Lin Xian'er said slowly, "I saw everything that happened to you over there. That girl was really nice to you." She picked up a strand of Ximen Chuxue's hair and twisted it in her hands like a naughty cat: "Tell me, who is better, her or me?"

Ximen Chuxue suddenly turned around and looked at her, and the two of them suddenly became very close.

He said coldly: "Tell me, is it better for you to go out by yourself, or for me to throw you out?"

The kerosene lamp swayed slightly on the ceiling, and the warm light also swayed slightly on her face. Lin Xian'er smiled: "Although you refuse to admit it, I know that you don't really want me to leave. You are just afraid that if I stay, you will not be able to control yourself, right? If you really want to drive me away, you won't even say this."

She sat up, and suddenly, like a small fish, she slipped out, her voice ringing outside, full of joy and laughter: "Let me guess, are you already regretting that I left so fast that you didn't even have the chance to lose me."

The sweet voice gradually faded away, and silence returned to the surroundings, leaving only the lonely sound of falling rain.

The long fingers slowly tightened on the felt.

……

After daybreak, the seaport was bustling with noise, and the nearby market gradually became populated. Muddy boots stepped through the puddles, bringing some vitality to the seaport.

The stick figures painted on the white wall of the dark resurrection point were repainted on the only wall in the harbor market that could shelter from the rain.

In the middle of the painting, one can barely make out a gigantic monster, and around the monster's feet are five little men drawn at different distances and nearness, with words written on each man's head.

Ximen Chuixue said: "People with a total of more than 8,000 points should stand in the front and put all their points into health. They are responsible for resisting all attacks from Mephisto and protecting their teammates in the back row." He drew a circle on the second little man in the back row: "People with more than 7,000 points should put all their points into strength and engage in close combat with Mephisto. People with 5,000 to 6,000 points should also put their points into strength and use bows, javelins and explosive potions to attack from a distance."

"For those with less than 5,000 points, their agility and life points are divided equally. They carry healing potions, detoxification potions, and dissolving potions and roam around to provide support."

The more than 0 games in King of Glory were not in vain. Even though the average record in each game was 25-, Ximen Chuixue still summed up a lot of experience. If you want to win a team battle, three professions are indispensable, namely, meat shield, output and nurse. Anyway, the personal values ​​​​in the system can be changed at will, and they can create these three professions themselves!
These words made the thirty people present fall into deep thought at the same time. This style of play was really novel and unheard of. It brought the tacit understanding and cooperation between teammates to the extreme. Everyone did their job. They couldn't say that they would win for sure, but the chances of winning would definitely be greater.

Even if you lose, it doesn’t matter. At most you can go to the resurrection point again. If you win, there will naturally be endless benefits to enjoy.

Most of them were summoned by Lei Chun in the first place, and they were very reluctant to leave. But after staying for a while, even though Lei Chun did not activate his skills to control them again, and even though the game intended to send them back, they were reluctant to leave. What else could it be?
It’s so easy to earn points here!

The conditions are indeed difficult, but you can only get rich if you are in danger, especially after defeating Duriel. Not to mention the points reward, the treasures, weapons, runes, etc. collected by the Lord of Pain are a very generous and huge number. In their own levels, you can't even see these things, let alone own them. And the mission is not complicated, just kill them and you're done. If you die, you can be resurrected. This is a good deal. If you miss this opportunity, who knows if there will be another one!
You know, Duriel, who made them a fortune, is just a subordinate of Mephisto. This sheep scorpion is difficult to beat, but the harder it is to beat, the higher the corresponding benefits!
After deciding on your career, more details still need to be discussed slowly.

It's a coincidence that among the thirty or so people, according to their own points, only four can serve as meat shields - Yuan Shisanxian, Ximen Chuixue, Shangguan Jinhong, and Shi Guanyin.

There were not many warriors, only six - Ye Gucheng, Wen Xue'an, Li Mochou, Xiaolongnu, Wuhua, and Lu Xiaofeng.

There are more shooters, sixteen in total, and the rest are all supports.

"What if... the points are not even 2,000?" Lei Chun raised his hand weakly.

Shangguan Jinhong glanced at her and said, "You still stay outside to support them and prepare water and medicine. This battle will probably take a long time."

Lei Chun nodded very quickly.

"There is still one problem that has not been solved." Shi Guanyin said: "If we all go to fight Mephisto, who will deal with her subordinates?"

Ximen Chuxue had already thought about this problem.

"mercenary."

"Mercenaries?" Everyone was in an uproar. Yes! Mercenaries! Why didn't they think of mercenaries? !
After all, these people are just outsiders. It is true that they fight monsters for points and property, and they do contribute to the survival of human beings in this world. But there is no reason to let outsiders sacrifice their lives while the natives just sit back and watch, right?
Are mercenaries weak? Of course they are not.

At the very beginning of the story, wasn’t Xuewu, who bravely broke into the monster’s lair to seal the demon but was eventually bewitched and corrupted by the demon, a mercenary?
In Lugoin, the king recruited warriors to clean the sewers. Aren’t the people who responded to the call mercenaries?

The people in this world are a combination of angels and demons, they are powerful "Nephalem"!
……

In the dim prison cell, Mephisto received a letter. The letter was written on human skin and brought to him by a crow.

It was her brother, Baal, who wrote to say that he had successfully bewitched the foolish Nephalem and had completely broken free from the seal. He led his demon army to attack the top of Mount Arreat where the Worldstone was stored, and joined forces with his brother Diablo to corrupt the Worldstone together and open up all the passages to the sanctuary. So far, the plan to destroy all the Nephalem has been half successful, and all that is left is her arrival.

After reading the letter, Mephisto laughed so hard that he almost shook the entire prison cell. Just as she was about to leave, a shocking explosion suddenly came from outside the door.

Are those Nephalem coming to harass us again? The ice of hell spreads inch by inch from under my feet.

In the past, she was the one waiting inside, but today she wanted to go out and see if those overconfident guys had any new tricks to deal with her.

I was shocked as soon as I went out.

Outside the prison, there were loud gongs and drums, firecrackers, and red flags waving. There were so many people that Mephisto was squeezed under the table... No, there was almost no place for him to stay!
Mephisto was completely confused. What was wrong with these humans? They came here to die, so why did they set off firecrackers to celebrate in advance? They even hired a band? These people blocked her door, and the atmosphere that should have been solemn and terrifying became inexplicably festive.

The loud and clear singing came from somewhere, echoing in the small space outside the prison.

"I fold a thousand paper cranes and tie a red ribbon. May good luck come to kind people every day. May you work hard and live a beautiful life. May you be healthy and stay healthy..."

In response to the singing, several strings of firecrackers crackled, and several shirtless young men suddenly appeared from somewhere, with colorful ropes tied on their heads and red scarves around their waists. They waved colorful flags in their hands and danced loudly. There were also people playing suona, gongs, and waist drums... If there were not a group of murderous people in armor, holding swords and holding knives standing nearby, people who didn't know would think that Mephisto had given up his job as a demon king and changed his career to become a rural entrepreneur, preparing to attract investment for the Kurast Port.

Shangguan Jinhong's face turned red as blood, and she bit her lip tightly: "This is an accident, just proceed as planned!"

Yuan Shisanxian's face also turned red with embarrassment, and he simply wanted to dig out the music library in his body that kept singing!

Don't be so damn lucky! It's so embarrassing!
The two men took the lead and rushed towards Mephisto's left and right!
A thirty-man team battle begins!
