Chapter 133 The System Says Whatever It Is!
He has lost count of how many thousand he has spent.
But he had no choice but to spend the money.
A thousand points per minute—this rate of consumption made his heart bleed.
These are all rare items!
That's all thanks to skill!
But he dared not be negligent in the slightest. He had pushed the "complete concealment" and "environmental resonance" properties of the [Cloak of Concealment] to their limits, and his whole being seemed to be completely integrated into the cold shadow texture of the cave.
Even the faintest vibrations of heartbeat and breath were completely absorbed by the cloak.
His crimson star-like eyes were fixed on the arena.
Wu Yue, Cui Daoxuan, and Wang Yanhua all retreated, each holding a strange object in their hands, clearly preparing to defend against the impending explosion!
Xu Si was stunned. After Cui Daoxuan stepped back, his position became particularly prominent.
He couldn't move, he couldn't retreat, and he didn't have any particularly strong defensive artifacts.
Isn't this killing two birds with one stone, bringing him out in the process?
What should we do?
Xu Si's heart almost stopped!
He looks a bit like he's dead!
The direction Cui Daoxuan retreated was exactly where he was hiding!
The man stepped back, and was only a few meters away from him.
Even if the [Cloak of Concealment] is very effective, at such close range, Cui Daoxuan's inexplicably keen senses are very likely to detect the anomaly!
Do not move.
If you move, you will be discovered!
He couldn't stay still. Once those three activated their defensive artifacts, his hiding place would inevitably be exposed under the combined pressure of the explosion and the defensive energy!
Damn it, all that scheming and plotting has led me into a dead end!
Xu Si's thoughts raced.
[Your mental state is abnormal. Would you like to spend 1000 purification points to correct it?]
[Time limit: 1 minute!]
The system's prompts remained cold and impersonal.
Yes, yes, yes.
The system really doesn't care about other people's lives; it's still messing with him now!
At this moment, the only person in the room more desperate than Xu Si was Cheng Xinyi.
She could clearly feel that her 'motivation' and 'willpower enhancement' traits had been fully activated.
The target was those dozens of cyborgs.
Her heart was finally dead.
Time is like a stretched-out scroll.
The dozens of cyborgs, their eyes filled with a mechanical, blood-red light, leaped up and charged into the central misty area.
Cheng Xinyi's fingers stiffly traced the cold surface of the Time Ring, and the eerie sapphire blue luster on the ring body flickered slightly, as if some sleeping beast had opened its eyes.
"Now!"
hum-
Time seemed to have been paused.
Suddenly, bursts of fireworks bloomed in Cheng Xinyi's eyes.
Without hesitation, Cui Daoxuan and Wu Yue and the others immediately set up their defenses.
The strange object in Cui Daoxuan's hand transformed into a heavy puppet with its shield facing outwards, resembling an upright tortoise.
Wu Yue was enveloped in martial arts aura, with a giant sword the size of a door blocking his way.
Wang Yanhua crushed a spherical object, and a spherical object instantly enveloped it.
Xu Si had no choice but to give up and took two steps to the side, his body glowing with starlight.
To the astonishment of Wu Yue, Wang Yanhua, and Cui Daoxuan, he slipped and hid behind Cui Daoxuan.
Cui Daoxuan felt a chill run down his spine; he truly hadn't expected such a large rat to be hiding at his feet.
His instincts made him want to attack Xu Si.
However, he was still holding Cheng Xinyi's hand and supporting the tortoise shield, so he had no strength left to attack Xu Si.
Moreover, if he were to attack Xu Si, he would be at a natural disadvantage and would also be affected by the blast wave in front of him.
Xu Si could not only use him as a shield, but also deal with his attacks at any time.
He could only gamble, gamble that Xu Si wouldn't make a move against him before the explosion.
I'm betting this rat is here for the [Time Sandbox].
Xu Si indeed had no intention of ambushing Cui Daoxuan, at least not before the explosion ended.
He also tactfully hid two meters behind Cui Daoxuan to prevent Cui Daoxuan from being overly stressed.
After confirming that Cui Daoxuan posed no threat, his Star Eyes focused on the area within the blast radius.
The energy flow was too chaotic; Xu Si's Star Eyes couldn't detect the true form of the [Time Delay Illusion].
"boom--!!!"
An indescribable roar erupted in the cave!
It didn't start from one point, but exploded simultaneously from every corner of the entire foggy area!
Those dozens of modified humans, whose bodies were crammed with high-energy materials and enhanced to the extreme, completed their final moments of life at the same instant.
The firelight was not a fiery red, but a strange, chaotic color that mixed the blue of molten metal with the scarlet of vaporized flesh!
The violent shockwave nearly destroyed the underground cave!
The first to be affected was the semi-transparent fog that shrouded the center.
It twisted and tumbled violently under the terrifying explosion, emitting a silent shriek!
"broken!"
Wu Yue's ever-present upturned smile instantly froze.
He knew what that meant.
The plan has completely failed.
A level 4 eerie awakening has occurred.
[Your mind is being corrupted by something sinister. Would you like to spend 10000 purification points to correct it?]
[Time limit: 1 minute!]
"Yes"
It's a big game!
These few good-for-nothings.
The underground cave was burning, groaning, and collapsing.
Before the chaotic explosion's light had completely dissipated, an even more ancient, profound, and soul-chilling "existence" slowly "awakened" from the torn, misty ruins.
It has no physical form, or rather, its form is this spacetime that has begun to distort.
The light began to distort, and the shadows cast by the searchlight wreckage writhed, stretched, and devoured each other like living creatures.
Wu Yue sheathed his greatsword, braced himself against the aftershocks of the explosion, and fled towards the elevator shaft exit without the slightest hesitation.
Cui Daoxuan's body in front of Xu Si began to disintegrate.
Even Xu Si was fooled; what came down was just a puppet, not Cui Daoxuan's real body. These guys are all incredibly cunning.
Only Xu Si and Wang Yanhua were still putting up a fight.
Is the reason I'm holding on because I've already used up so many purification points?
What gives you the right?
Xu Si couldn't understand why Wang Yanhua wasn't making a run for it.
[Spend 100 purification points to purify your human aura, time limit: three hours]
Yes, yes, yes!
Now whatever the system says goes! Purification points have to be spent!
He no longer has the time or energy to keep track of how many purification points are left!
His crimson star-like eyes were fixed on the boiling, distorted void.
Wang Yanhua's lips twitched as if he had sensed something.
Because he could feel the pressure on him suddenly increase several times over, the awakened [Time Delay Mirage] seemed to only focus on itself.
The blindingly bright thing was right in front of him, but in his perception it was nothingness.
The aftershocks of the explosion raged through the cave, crushing and melting rocks, causing the entire cave wall to collapse.
Having activated his starlight, Xu Si could no longer blend into the shadows.
"Let's join forces!" Wang Yanhua suggested helplessly.
Although it's unclear why this guy was able to withstand the level 4 bizarre mental erosion.
But Xu Si chose to ignore his suggestion.
Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.
