Su Ran felt the urge to settle accounts with that NPC.
No wonder that guy couldn’t stay in one place for long before teleporting away—he was afraid of getting beaten!
"Forget it, I’ve already bought it, and I can’t return it. No need to worry about this secret for now, it was a false joy!"
Having banished the thought of decoding from his mind, Su Ran then calmed down and carefully observed the few terrains on the map. Fortunately, he was relieved to see that the map included a passage to the underground palace; his points were not spent in vain.
"How strange, why are those passages marked with the character for ’death’ highlighted on the map?"
Su Ran looked bewildered, murmuring to himself, "Could it be, this is a warning to avoid these dangerous places?"
"Huh?"
When he unconsciously looked at the back of the map, he was stunned by the words written there.
"In death there is life, life begets all things. Those who follow, do not miss the chance!"
"Ai ma, truly ingenious, they’ve gone and put a three-character classic on there!"
Su Ran was quite surprised by the twelve big characters on the back. After a bit of thought, he understood the system’s good intentions—it was telling him that treasures were buried in these deadly places!
"Good heavens, I almost missed such a great opportunity!"
Remembering what Young Master Fa had said, Su Ran silently sneered, what deadly places, these are treasure troves!
With this thought, Su Ran spurred Wang Cai to change direction and hurried towards the previous passage. He clearly remembered that next to the Blood Sword Passage, there was a passage marked with the character for ’death,’ though it wasn’t marked on his map—probably noted on the other half of the treasure map.
However,
When Su Ran arrived at that Death Space, he found the area strewn with broken stones and crisscrossed with cracks—it clearly had been looted, with no sign of any treasures.
Not giving up, Su Ran wandered around the area in the sky, turning a full circle inside. There wasn’t a boss, not even a small monster in sight, and the place had no atmosphere of danger; he finally gave up completely.
"Somebody knows the secret of this deadly place; it looks like the other half of the map is in their hands!"
Su Ran guessed immediately. Only someone with such a map would know what this deadly place signifies. Thinking of this, he felt a sense of urgency as there were only a few Death Passages on the entire map—he couldn’t let the opponents benefit from all of them!
"I must hurry up!"
First, he checked the coordinates of the Death Passages on the map and memorized them. Then he rode Wang Cai and rushed forward, not stopping even if he encountered enemies!
Of course,
If he came across Dai Xuan alone, he might as well take him down first.
...
"Ha ha, brothers, we’ve found another passage, hurry, don’t let others get ahead of us!"
The player team wandering in the Rift Space, upon discovering a new passage, ran towards it excitedly, fearing other players might reach it first. Seeing the word ’death’ inscribed above the passage though, their excitement vanished instantly.
"Damn, it’s just a lethal place, false joy!"
The leading player spit in disdain, strongly expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Captain, look quick, someone is coming out from there!"
As they were about to give up and leave, a female player in black armor emerged, followed by a fierce-looking Bone Devouring Beast. Just the sight of the pet chilled them, dissuading any thoughts of hostility.
"If you don’t want to die, make way!"
The female player didn’t even look these people in the eye, just walked straight ahead.
"Beauty, can I ask you something? Isn’t this a Death Passage, how come you came out alive?"
Despite his fear, the captain’s curiosity got the better of him; this woman managed to conquer the most difficult terrain, she must have gained a lot!
If he could grasp the trick to navigating this passage, he would make a fortune!
"Get lost!"
The female player did not wish to speak much with this person, her gaze ice cold as if it were a sharp piece of ice with aggressive ambitions.
"Beauty, why bother? We are all players here, and we mean no harm. We’ll meet again anyway, right?"
The team leader, relentless, continued, "Since you are alone, why not join our team? Together we can conquer this Death Space and split the loot fifty-fifty, what do you say?"
"Bone-eating Beast, attack, kill them all!"
The female player coldly shouted, pulling out a two-handed great sword that emitted a dark golden glow. With a sweeping motion, she sent the so-called team captain flying before he even hit the ground, and leaping high, she delivered a Jump Cut.
"Vicious woman!"
"Damn it, hurry and save the captain!"
"Stop, let go of our captain, come at me if you dare!"
The dozens of players suddenly erupted in chaos, each drawing their weapons to attack the female player.
Yet, at that moment, the Bone-eating Beast unleashed a terrifying assault, bursting into the crowd like a cannonball and initiating a mayhem. In no time, this group of several dozen players had more than half either dead or injured, and even the team leader died under the multiple strikes from the female warrior without any chance to fight back. The remaining players, lacking the courage to battle, screamed and fled into the distance.
"Cowards!"
The female warrior did not intend to annihilate them completely. After picking up a few scorecards on the ground and pulling out half of a map, she confirmed the next coordinates and hastily left the area.
The space once again plunged into silence, leaving only about a dozen corpses, an unspeakable desolation lingering.
The players who had luckily survived didn’t know how far they had fled before they finally relaxed, noticing that the woman was not pursuing them.
"That woman is really ruthless, slaughtering over a dozen people in less than a minute; she must be a top-notcher recognized on the leaderboards! Does anyone recognize her?"
"I don’t know the person, but I recognize that two-handed great sword!"
The speaking player swallowed his saliva, his eyes still full of fear. After calming his emotions, he said, "This godly weapon, it’s none other than the top-ranking Melting Flame Giant Sword!"
"What? No wonder her attack was so fierce that our captain was done for in just a few hits. So, the captain’s death wasn’t unjustified."
"I know who she is now! That woman is Crane That Doesn’t Dance’s girl, Shuxin!"
"Damn, wasn’t she just a showpiece? When did she become so powerful? And her pet’s strength is freaking fierce; I’ve never seen such before!"
The players had fully recovered, expressing their feelings while moving forward. For some reason, another Death Passage appeared before them.
"Brothers, dare you enter? Maybe we too could find a great opportunity; I feel like Shuxin got her pet from here!"
"Don’t talk nonsense; that’s obviously a finished pet; don’t speak if you don’t know!"
"With our strength, we wouldn’t even suffice to stick between a BOSS’s teeth, go if you want, but I’m not going!"
"Holy shit, look, someone else is coming out from there! When did this Death Passage become so popular?"
As the player exclaimed, the others saw a figure emerging from the Death Passage, draped in a black robe and wearing a mask. From this attire alone, they all realized his identity, Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained!
"Which deity did we offend today? Why do we keep running into masters?"
"Don’t worry, Overturning Water reasons well and won’t kill randomly."
"Don’t be foolishly optimistic, killing isn’t illegal here, and there are scores to gain, who will reason with you? Run!"
Before Su Ran could step out of the passage, these people once again took off, disappearing quickly.
...
"Do I look that terrifying that they flee upon seeing me?"
Su Ran emerged from the Death Passage, quite surprised by the reaction of these players. However, he had no intention of killing them; these few exchange points really were not worth much to him, being wealthy and influential, he wasn’t short on petty cash.
"Ha ha, the system does not deceive me! This Death Space is indeed a place of fortune!"
Pushing this incident to the back of his mind, Su Ran took out a fiery red gemstone, his eyes revealing an excited expression, clearly very satisfied with this newly acquired treasure.
