Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Too Much Deception

Under the threat of death, the other party was still concerned about the Evil Crystals on the ground, a fact that Duan Xing truly couldn’t comprehend.

His gaze swept over other figures who were still picking up Evil Crystals; he snapped the neck of the player in front of him, transforming into a blue phantom to begin another slaughter.

But even in the midst of killing, Duan Xing’s confusion remained unsolved.

After slaying all these disruptive lives, Duan Xing just couldn’t feel happy; these lives would turn into black mist and dissipate after death.

The Evil Crystals used for proof in the trial also vanished without a trace along with their disappearance.

Taking a deep breath, pressing his emotions to the bottom of his heart, he turned his expressionless face towards the Evil Life surging towards him.

Click~ Click~ Click~

The clockwork wound up, emanating a crisp sound of gears biting, the Rune Armor relit, Duan Xing transformed into a stream of blue light and once again charged towards the Evil Tide.

While Duan Xing was fighting, the local voice channel was extremely lively; players were discussing this warrior named Duan Xing, as well as the Evil Crystals scattered all over the ground.

Although nearby players were killed and exited the game, many more envious players were on their way here.

The Evil Crystals scattered on the ground were full of temptation in the eyes of the players; in comparison, the loss of 10 points of sacrificial power from death seemed trivial.

Half an hour later, players arrived one after another.

When Duan Xing noticed it, the newly-arrived players had already started a frenzied collection mode, searching for Evil Crystals all over the ground.

This caused Duan Xing, always expressionless, to twitch at the corner of his mouth; he decisively turned around and pounced towards the players.

After he had killed the latest arrival of dozens of players, he noticed that the number of Evil Crystals on the ground had significantly decreased; his fair skin blushed, anger seemed to surge from his eyes.

As the most outstanding Reserve Soldier of the Reverse Tide Army, this killing trial was his last step to prove himself.

Once the trial was completed, he would ascend to become a member of the Reverse Tide Army.

He would never allow himself to fail.

After turning his father’s Energy Core to charge the Rune Armor, Duan Xing turned to face the Evil Spirit attacking him and launched a charge once more.

In a state of battle, Duan Xing’s steps were light, like a ghost moving through the Evil Spirit’s encirclement.

Amid the dance of dual blades, the sharp sound of wind-breaking followed closely.

At that moment, an Evil Life, five meters tall, appeared in front, wreathed in black mist with a fierce visage, its swollen lower limbs supporting its rotting body.

Duan Xing did not pause for even a second; his form crossed paths with it, and instantly an X-shaped light wound appeared in the huge Evil Life’s chest; its body split into four, yet the splattered black mucus did not touch his body at all.

In a killing frenzy, Duan Xing personified death himself, gliding with ease among the Evil Spirit horde, the blades in his hands as if alive—sometimes transforming into sharp swords to cut, other times into spinning storms to tear, every swing accompanied by the death of several Evil Spirits.

During his ecstatic slaughter, Duan Xing roared skywards, his blue hair dancing with the wind.

But when the corner of his eye caught a group of sneaky lives appearing again, his smile abruptly ceased.

"You... deserve to die!"

As a Reserve Soldier of the Reverse Tide Army, he was not given any storage items; all he could do was to kill enough Evil Spirits and then use the "Coordinate Star Stone" placed in the shuttle to summon the Trial Inspector from the Reverse Tide Army for verification, proving the end of the trial.

But these creatures whom he had never seen before had become the biggest obstacle to completing his trial.

Watching the sneaky mysterious creatures in the distance, who occasionally glanced in his direction with a sleazy demeanor, made the rage in Duan Xing’s heart surge.

Death!

He decisively turned his target, pounced toward the group of players happily picking up money.

Seeing Duan Xing pounce, the local chat channel instantly exploded:

"Brothers, pick up quickly, the God of Wealth is coming with two big Choppers."

"This God of Wealth is really petty, just for picking up a few Evil Crystals, why get angry."

"Fella next door, for the sake of picking up Evil Crystals, you’ve lost all dignity, crawling around on the ground, aren’t you ashamed? Stand up, let me pick them!"

Just then, Duan Xing arrived.

But what puzzled Duan Xing was that even though he was right there, the eyes of these mysterious creatures were still focused on the Evil Crystals, as if they didn’t care at all that they were about to be killed.

Watching the Evil Crystals diminishing one after another, Duan Xing’s killing speed suddenly increased.

In just a few breaths, he had defeated the group of players, turning them into black smoke that dissipated.

But when he looked up into the distance, he saw throngs of mysterious creatures attacking from that direction.

This time, Duan Xing chose not to continue the massacre of Evil Spirits; instead, he turned to face the attacking group of players.

Accompanied by the sound of gears meshing, the Rune Armor burst forth with dazzling light, and he turned into a blue streak of light that shot forth.

In an instant, more than a hundred players were slaughtered.

"There, the God of Wealth is right there!"

The cries from the distance made Duan Xing, who was preparing to continue his killing spree on the Evil Spirits, look up, only to see a large number of players attacking from all directions.

This scene made Duan Xing’s scalp tingle.

To him, these mysterious creatures were far more troublesome than the Evil Spirits; although they had frail bodies, the Evil Crystals mysteriously vanished wherever they went, making it impossible for him to complete his trial task due to their interference.

"Kill!"

Taking a deep breath to adjust his emotional fluctuations, Duan Xing once again marched towards the attacking players.

But after continuously slaying dozens of waves of incoming player groups, Duan Xing became completely numb.

The attacking mysterious creatures were not only not decreasing but continuously increasing in number, to the point that they outnumbered the incoming Evil Spirits.

The more he killed, the more appeared; there was no end to them.

Most importantly, these mysterious creatures didn’t all attack at once, but came wave after wave.

This made it impossible for him to wipe them out in one fell swoop. He could only keep an eye on the movements of the mysterious creature group while slaughtering the Evil Spirits.

After repelling 87 waves of players, Duan Xing’s mentality completely exploded.

He looked into the distance at the players rushing towards him, his eyes filled with intense despair, and then leapt up, turning into a streak of light flying towards the direction of the Ancient Battlefield.

Half an hour later, at the Ancient Battlefield North.

Duan Xing, who had rested and recovered his Physical Strength, took out a Lure Crystal and crushed it.

With black smoke rising, nearby Evil Lives were lured and converged towards his location.

A new round of killing spree began.

Just as Duan Xing was immersed in the thrill of slaughter, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, then swiftly turned his head towards the source of the sound.

What he saw were dozens of familiar figures, among which the leading figure excitedly pointed towards him from afar:

"Look, the God of Wealth is right there, brothers, charge with me!"

"Hahaha, finally found it, Zongzi send the coordinates to the guild chat channel, call the bros over."

"Ss~ I can already smell the fragrance of the Evil Crystals dispersing, each one starting at 750 cash, the scent of money all over the ground."

Seeing this, a look of despair flashed across Duan Xing’s eyes.

The Reverse Tide Army’s trial was a random trans-spatial dispatch to the Waning Moon - Waxing Moon scenario.

He once firmly believed that even if he was dispatched to the Waxing Moon scenario, with the strength of the strongest Reserve Soldier, he would have the power to fight, and was certain to complete the trial task, continuing as the strongest new recruit of the Reverse Tide Army.

But the appearance of these mysterious creatures completely disrupted his trial action of slaughtering Evil Spirits.

Choosing to retreat proactively was already a humiliation in his eyes, but he endured it for the sake of completing the trial, only to find that these mysterious creatures were even more aggressive and attacked once again.

His fist slowly clenched, and a hint of blood-red light surfaced in Duan Xing’s pure white pupils:

"They’ve really gone too far!"
