Xuanyue was still in a state of shock. She patted her chest lightly to ease the tension from before.
If Li Xiang had been a step slower, she would have lost her life!
"Miss Xuanyue, no matter who the opponent is, if you show mercy on the battlefield, you will be the one to die in the end!" Li Xiang sighed. Xuanyue's kindness had exceeded his expectations. She was not even willing to kill Xiang Qi, who was about to turn evil. He did not know if such a character was good or bad.
"Mm …" Xuanyue's face was red. She did not dare to look at Li Xiang. Xiang Qi's sneak attack on Yue Xingling had angered her. However, as her anger subsided, she no longer had any killing intent. Her mother had repeatedly mentioned this, but she had been like this since she was young. She did not even want to kill small animals, much less a living person.
"Alright, these Strengthening Points should be enough for you to exchange at the Fog of War. Let's split up and wait until Polar night to contact each other again." Li Xiang stood up. Xuanyue and Yue Xingling nodded and disappeared into the blood forest.
The Strengthening Points they had earned from this battle should be enough to exchange for a few blessings. Xuanyue's personality was a big problem, but Li Xiang's plan was suitable for her. She did not have to kill the enemy, so it would be much easier for her.
Killing Xiang Qi gave Li Xiang five Strengthening Points, no more and no less. Considering that they would gain less from killing enemies under the White Moon Sun, it was acceptable.
Ming Xu slowly walked out from the shadows. She retracted Nirvana, and a rare look of shock flashed across her eyes. Xiang Qi's final attack had caught her off guard!
The two of them leaned against each other and softly discussed the situation of both sides. Li Xiang had already placed Ji Xiaoyi, Xuanyue, and Yue Xingling on his side, so there was not much of a problem. As for the Fallen Angel Faction, it was a battle between two tigers. Fei Yujing and the rest were facing off against Ji Ruoyu and Fenix.
There was also a Disaster in Fenix's body, but it was unknown if it was the main body or a clone. In any case, he was definitely wary of Fei Yujing, who was in the same situation. Calamities were not like human Rankers, they almost never worked together, they were all on their own. When the time was right, two Emperor Rank Calamities would even fight and devour each other!
Even if Ji Ruoyu coveted Fei Yujing's power, she couldn't abandon Fei Yujing and rely on her. Moreover, from Ji Xiaoyi and Ming Xu's description, this woman was very proud and definitely wouldn't be willing to submit to another woman.
"Ming Xu, don't you feel strange? In front of our Holy Angel camp is a blood forest, but in front of your Fallen Angel camp is the ruins of the Holy City. It's the exact opposite. " Li Xiang hugged Ming Xu and whispered, "The Holy Angel's Blessing strengthens things like Magic Weights, which is also very close to our side. The Fallen Angel's Blessing strengthens the physique, which is similar to Calamity."
The humans who fell into the Calamity faction sought to become Calamities and Mutants in order to break through the limits of the human body and obtain greater power. They were often restricted for various reasons and were unable to make breakthroughs in aspects such as weights and magic, so they could only hope to further strengthen their bodies and seek a chance to become a player.
And physique was precisely the advantage of the Calamity faction.
"Yes, those Dark Knights are also very strange." Ming Xu recalled the few encounters they had. The Dark Knights wouldn't actively attack her, but they would passively defend against some very powerful attacks.
"I feel that they were created by imitating the Calamity humans, very similar to that guy today." Ming Xu gestured lightly with her hands. Her way of expressing was strange and difficult to understand. Only Li Xiang, who had spent a lot of time with her, could instantly understand.
The two of them conversed for a while more, then returned to their respective camps and quietly waited for the next environment to descend.
Even with the lesson of the Blood Moon Night, under the bright moon, there were still some people from both camps who couldn't hold back and engaged in a short confrontation. The two numbers hanging at the top dropped to 75 and 91 respectively.
The gap widened once again.
However, the trial-takers of the Fallen Angel faction knew that the main reason for the large number of casualties on their side was Fei Yujing and the others' purging operations. They constantly eliminated dissidents from the three camps and forced the trial-takers to accept the Fire Origin Clone. Those who refused to comply were killed.
As time passed, the trial-takers had to make a choice. They could follow her or seek help from Ji Ruoyu and the others. However, they didn't know that Fenix and Fei Yujing were in the same situation. They were just moving from one hell to another.
After a few fights, both camps stabilized. Perhaps it was predestined, but the Fallen Angel faction, which was stronger overall, split into two factions, neither of them giving in to the other.
The Holy Angel faction, which was relatively weaker, was united, and there was also Li Xiang and the others who were disrupting things in the dark.
Instead, a strange balance was built.
After testing each other out, the two camps returned to silence, silently waiting for the arrival of the Polar night.
In the sky, the white moon gradually set in the west, and the dazzling light slowly disappeared. This time, there was no new moon rising. This land would fall into an eternal night after the white moon set.
Li Xiang soaked in the Brilliant Hot Spring, quietly looking at the sky, thinking about the problem of the blood forest and the ruins of the Holy City.
In ancient times, the Sky Clan assisted the first batch of human players to resist the disaster. In the end, the entire clan fell into the enemy camp and was then annihilated in the dust of history, becoming a paragraph in the textbooks.
Judging from the structure and the various ruins here, it was indeed seriously polluted by the aura of disaster and headed towards destruction.
The Sky Clan's shadow that acted as an exchange character in the fog of war was half holy and half evil. It was like a combination of these two areas. It should be a shadow created jointly by the Goddess of Disaster and the Chronometer Tower.
The Sky Clan's favor and blessings were also used by them in the name of ruins and strengthening to help these Level-3 Magicians advance.
The scholars of the Chronometer Tower had reached a very advanced level of research and application of Origin Substances. They were a group of powerful players and also a group of great pioneers. The two major systems of Magic Apprentice and Magician under the players were created by the Mage players and scholars.
After the continuous improvement of the pioneers of the Chronometer Tower, there was today's systematic training system.
It was not surprising that they had the means to strengthen magic, weights, and other things.
According to Li Xiang's understanding of the Goddess of Disaster, apart from these basic settings, everything else in the ruins of the Sky Clan should have been created by the Goddess of Disaster.
The Chronometer Tower only provided the technology and the venue, and she drew all of these.
Li Xiang always felt that the Goddess of Disaster must have a deep meaning in designing this complicated School Championship Competition. The first [Emerald Forest] seemed to be selecting and cultivating warriors, letting them enter the ancient race's territory to experience and communicate, establishing a bond with them. The students who successfully came out and were rewarded were given dragon eggs or elf eggs.
This was very helpful for their future growth.
The second [Deep Sea Kingdom] revealed the mystery of the human era, and the ancient Loulan that was once buried in history, as well as the scalp-numbing invasion of the Calamities. Finally, by chance, Li Xiang also obtained clues about the secret technique of sealing the Calamities.
Compared to the first selection and cultivation, the second was a real warning and urging.
It made them feel the horror of the Calamities, urged them to become stronger and not slack off. At the same time, it told them some cruel truths as a spur and motivation.
This [Dark Whispers], just from the name alone, could be felt that it was inseparable from the Calamities.
At the same time, the existence of Fei Yujing and Fenix was not rejected by the Goddess of Disaster.
Logically speaking, the Goddess of Disaster was omniscient and omnipotent, and even the players had to follow her instructions. She should not be afraid of Fei Yujing and Fenix, who had not yet formed.
She chose to directly ignore the two of them.
Two opposing factions, similar to the humans and the Calamities, but with completely opposite designs, the blood forest and the ruins of the Holy City, what exactly were they trying to express?
Li Xiang sighed. No matter how he thought about it, he could not understand the Goddess of Disaster's intentions. When he looked up again, the sky was already dark.
At that moment, he almost thought that he had returned to the ancient capital of Loulan, to the day when the Calamities invaded.
In the hot spring, the Trial Takers were restless. After many confrontations, they also discovered that unless they killed the other party in a disadvantageous environment, they could not obtain more Strengthening Points.
And after several battles, both sides had a tacit understanding to not attack in large numbers when the other party had the advantage, which made it difficult to earn Strengthening Points. The design of the Dark Knights and the defensive spires also cut off their way of attacking, so they were in a deadlock. Naturally, everyone's attention was on the Polar night.
The officials had said that the remains of the Sky Clan that appeared during the Polar night could provide a large number of Strengthening Points, and if they wanted to quickly increase their strength in a short period of time, hunting these remains was undoubtedly the best way.
Some people got up and quickly hid in the darkness. When it came to the acquisition of Strengthening Points, even if they were on the same side, they were wary of each other. If not for the fact that the number of people was also a key factor in the outcome, it was hard to guarantee that these Trial Takers would not kill each other.
The possibility of infighting was very low now. After all, no one would be as crazy as Li Xiang and the others, completely ignoring the fact that the sudden decrease in numbers would give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.
Under the Polar night, the cold wind blew. The environment was somewhat similar to the Blood Moon Night, but in the settings, the Trial Takers from the Fallen Angel Faction would also be weakened to a certain extent. Therefore, other than the darkness that made them feel slightly more comfortable, there were not many other benefits.
In just a short while, many people from both sides had moved out, moving closer to the center of the battle zone.
Li Xiang, Ji Xiaoyi, and Xuan Yue looked at each other and set off on their own paths, not moving together.
The plan was very clear. When it was carried out, there was no need for everyone to gather together. That would only arouse suspicion.
Qin Mu had been injured in the last battle, but his prestige was still there. Many people followed him and left the middle lane. A few people were eager to try and follow Li Xiang, who had defeated Luo Chu, but after being glared at by him, they could only leave unhappily.
Boom!
Crack! Crack!
In the battle zone, countless tombstones of the Sky Race shattered one by one. Black light mixed with a thick smell of blood, and a foul smell spread out. Rotting corpses slowly crawled out of the tombstones.
The smell of blood spread across the land.
Li Xiang followed the crowd to the battle zone. Now, everyone was secretly hiding in their own safe spots. Whether it was the Fallen Angel Faction or the Holy Angel Faction, no one rashly appeared to interrupt this scene.
Everyone was quietly observing the changes in the tombstones, waiting for the so-called Sky Race corpses with large amounts of strengthening points to appear.
He looked at the cracked tombstones and felt that this scene was very familiar.
After thinking carefully, he suddenly remembered that the scene in front of him was very similar to the scene in the Forgotten Town!
Death Sacrifice!
On that isolated island, the entire area was a [Living Death Sacrifice]. The flesh and blood of nobles, magic users, and players were used for an extremely evil sacrifice. Under the Polar night, this battle zone gave Li Xiang the feeling that it was a death sacrifice.
It was just that they used the corpses of the Sky Race, not human corpses.
The corpses of the Sky Race that crawled out of the tombstones were rotten. Their bones and flesh were separated. Although they had been buried for countless years, they were like new corpses that had just been buried. The smell of death was so strong that it was nauseating.
Their bodies shook, and black pieces of flesh kept falling. Some of the once white wings on their backs were completely rotten, and some were only connected to their skeletons. Black feathers fell one by one and turned into puddles of stinky black water when they fell to the ground.
"Roar!"
They roared like wild beasts. If it were not for their faces and bodies, no one would associate these monsters with the Sky Race, which was once known as the most holy race.
The corrupted angels were covered in mud and blood. Their expressions were ferocious, and they died with their eyes open.
They crawled out of the tombstones one by one. There were men and women, old and young. There were also a few who were especially tall and stood out under the dim light of the Polar night.
"They're transforming!" Someone exclaimed in the darkness.
Everyone was shocked.
Under the dim light of the Polar night, the corpses of the Sky Race began to glow black. Their bodies were no longer as stiff, and their movements became faster. Their skeletons creaked, and the rotten flesh slowly gathered together, becoming smooth and tight.
When the skeletons were reconnected, the scattered pieces of flesh also began to gather together. It looked like they were coming back to life!
Some of the faster ones even began to form weapons like swords, spears, and halberds in their hands.
According to Ji Xiaoyi, the Sky Race corpses had the combat power of a Level-3 Magician. There were thousands of corpses here, and the ones that were especially tall were probably the Warriors.
Judging from this, the Sky Race corpses were at least as strong as a Magician. There were so many of them here. If all of them came at them, the trial participants would not even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
Not to mention, there was a weakening effect here, so their combat power was lower than usual.
[Kill an ordinary Sky Race corpse. Reward: 10 Strengthening Points. Kill a Sky Race Warrior corpse. Reward: 100 Strengthening Points. Kill an Elite Sky Race Warrior corpse. Reward: 1000 Strengthening Points. Kill a Sky King corpse. Reward: 10000 Strengthening Points.]
The Goddess of Calamity's voice suddenly fell into everyone's ears, causing a thunderous explosion!
Just an ordinary Sky Race corpse was equivalent to killing an enemy from the enemy camp!
The reward was too generous!
10 points could be exchanged for a blessing or favor, and 10,000 points could be exchanged for a thousand times!
A thousand times could basically strengthen a person to the extreme. If they won in the end, this trip to the School Championship was definitely worth more than ten years of training.
No one could resist such a temptation.
Even though he knew that the combat power of these corpses was far beyond imagination, Li Xiang was a little tempted, let alone the trial participants who were hiding in the dark.
No one knew who shouted, but there were already people who wanted to be the first to eat crabs before the corpses were completely transformed.
