"Congratulations everyone for reaching the ninth level of the dark abyss. The rules for this round are the same as the previous round. Only 256 contestants are allowed to enter the next level of the abyss." A mighty voice came from the sky, and Xu Jingming and others had already begun looking for weapons.
Although he had a dagger in his hand, Xu Jingming still hoped to get a more suitable weapon!
For example, swords and spears are definitely more powerful than daggers! Of course, the spear is the most coveted one.
"This girl in the hat must be an eighth-level star life." Suddenly a voice sounded, and a silver-haired man pointed at the petite girl "Tata" who was a little confused. Of course, Tata's actual age was much older than anyone present.
"I am an eighth-level star life?" Tata pointed at the silver-haired man and laughed dumbly, "There are only two eighth-level star life in this competition. Are you so confident that I am one of them?"
The surrounding contestants immediately began to move away and keep a sufficient distance from Tata.
"Because during the previous team battle, I was in the same team as you." The silver-haired man said, "I am quite good at the mind, but I found that I was unconsciously influenced by someone! After screening and eliminating, I determined that it was you who influenced my mind! Among the seventh-level star life, my mind secrets are top-notch. You must be an eighth-level star life to be able to influence me silently."
"Keep making it up." Tata curled his lips.
"There is another way to verify it." As soon as the silver-haired man finished speaking, he rushed towards Tata with a rapier in his hand.
He turned into a phantom and approached Tata. The dagger in his hand had disappeared, and only streaks of light enveloped Tata.
This scene shocked the contestants present.
Xu Jingming was also secretly surprised: "This silver-haired man is much stronger than me. In the Blood Rain World, he is considered to be top-notch."
Faced with such terrifying swordsmanship, Xu Jingming felt that he would be killed in two or three moves.
The cute little girl Tata was unarmed and had no weapons. She sighed and said, "You have a good eye."
As she spoke, her figure mysteriously avoided all the stabbing swords.
At the same time, she ran towards the tall man holding a sledgehammer. The tall man dodged in panic and used hammer skills to block.
call.
The figures of both sides intertwined!
The tall man's eyes widened, and there was a hole between his eyebrows. The 'sledgehammer' in his hand was now in the hands of the cute girl 'Tata'.
The Tata girl, who was about 1.5 meters tall, held a sledgehammer that was more than 1 meter long in one hand. She looked at the silver-haired man and smiled, "Since you have discovered me, I will satisfy you."
After saying that, Tata came forward with a sledgehammer in his hand.
"Everyone, come together." The silver-haired man retreated, and other contestants surrounded him.
Anyone can see that this girl is incredibly strong!
Anyone who wants to win first place in the competition wants to eliminate this 'eighth-level star life'!
There are more weapons on the ninth level of the Dark Abyss. At this moment, there are five "top-notch masters" holding weapons and rushing to the front. Even though it is the first time for them to cooperate, they cooperate perfectly and besiege the girl Tata.
Tata holds a sledgehammer in his hand, yet he has a tremendous spirit, like a demon god. When he uses the hammer, he has both speed and strength, and his skills reach an incredible level.
On the field, it was one against five, and Tata actually had the upper hand.
"One!" Tata suddenly shouted, and the sledgehammer exploded rapidly. Under the siege, it still mysteriously penetrated the obstacles. The edge of the sledgehammer swept across the abdomen of a contestant, directly blasting the contestant into nothingness.
"retreat!"
"Escape separately!" Upon seeing this, the other four top-notch masters dispersed without hesitation and fled in all directions. While running away, they also attacked and killed other contestants along the way.
Tata was holding a sledgehammer and chasing the silver-haired man!
"Don't even think about running away." Tata chased after him with a smile.
"How come this eighth-level star life is so strong? I was too reckless! I should have waited until everyone obtained weapons before besieging her." The silver-haired man was very annoyed, mainly because Tata had only shown her mental terror before, but not her actual combat strength.
The silver-haired man himself was also in the super first-rate realm, which was pretty good among the seventh-order star life forms. He felt that if he cooperated with others, he would be able to deal with an eighth-order star life form.
Who wants...
Tata's strength far exceeds that of an ordinary eighth-level person.
As the top masters fled and killed, the fight became more and more chaotic.
"Get to the eighth floor as soon as possible! Otherwise none of us can stop her." A contestant shouted.
After all, the silver-haired man was not as fast as Tata. After being caught up by Tata, it only took three blows from Tata to kill this top-notch master.
"Haha..." Tata carried the sledgehammer and smiled as she glanced at the other contestants. No contestant dared to approach her.
The other contestants fought quickly, and soon there were only 256 people left on the field! Xu Jingming, holding a dagger, successfully survived again. After all, holding a weapon still has a great advantage. The other contestants were unwilling to fight with the masters with weapons when they could not figure out the real situation.
"Buzz." Dark red light beams descended and enveloped every living contestant.
Xu Jingming became more serious: "It's time to enter the next round. The next round will definitely be crazy."
…
On the eighth level of the Dark Abyss, out of the one million cosmic citizens who originally participated in the competition, only 256 are left!
256 people stood on the vast land.
"Congratulations on reaching the eighth level of the Dark Abyss. Each of you can choose a weapon at will. In this round, only 128 people are allowed to enter the next level." A voice came from the sky. Everyone 's body was covered and protected by light, and everyone was choosing weapons.
Xu Jingming also put away the dagger and chose a spear, which was three meters long!
"I was exposed in the last round." Tata said to the tens of millions of viewers in her live broadcast room, "My chances of getting through this round are less than 10%! Because all contestants will choose the weapon that suits them best. And the top masters among them will definitely join forces to get rid of me first! Because they know very well that in the final stage, they can't stop me."
There are still a lot of contestants now, and they can still deal with Tata.
When it comes to the final few rounds, when there are only 20 or 30 contestants left, it is almost impossible to eliminate Tata.
"I still can't hide my strength." Tata said. She had thrown away the sledgehammer in her hand and replaced it with a larger six-sided sledgehammer.
This hexagonal hammer has a larger hammer head and sharper edges.
Tata held one in each hand, which was the weapon she was best at.
"It's Tata!"
"Double Hammer Tata!"
Many of the contestants recognized it immediately.
After all, in the entire Hunter Universe, Tata is one of the top 100 celebrity anchors in the live broadcast of "Escape from the Abyss"! When she took out her iconic six-sided double hammers, many contestants who have been following "Escape from the Abyss" for a long time knew who she was.
“It’s Tata.”
"Besiege her."
"With her strength and her psychic skills, once she reaches the fifth level of the Dark Abyss, none of us will be able to stop her. She will definitely take first place."
Although the later stage of escaping from the abyss will affect the mind on a large scale, but Tata is famous for his strong mind!
"Wow, hahaha... my fans, come on, I'll give you a ride." The moment the protective light covering the body of every contestant dissipated, Tata took the lead in launching an attack with two hammers!
“My only chance of survival is to rush into the crowd of contestants,” Tata explained to the audience in the live broadcast room.
"attack."
"Besiege her."
At this moment, all contestants received weapons. Archers shot arrows, and some attacked with hidden weapons. They all surrounded Tata.
And among the 256 contestants, more than 20 masters who had reached the top level almost all surrounded them!
"My fans are so enthusiastic." Tata changed his body movements, dodging arrows and hidden weapons, and also resisting with a pair of sledgehammers. Many top-notch masters have already surrounded him, coordinating their moves! Not giving Tata a chance to breathe.
Tata performed hammer techniques, and he and the pair of hammers had become one, with a strange rhythm.
Xu Jingming was far away, and he felt that Tata's figure seemed to have disappeared, leaving only two sledgehammers colliding with each other. With the cooperation of the two sledgehammers, they were unpredictable and attacked in all directions! The siege formation of more than 20 top-notch masters was torn apart again and again.
But these top-notch masters, although their formation was torn apart, were able to make up for it immediately.
They are all top-notch talents in actual combat! Their cooperation also made Tata feel suffocated.
The two sledgehammers that were madly colliding and fighting were finally completely submerged by the siege after half a minute.
Tata, was killed! Knocked out!
In her terrifying counterattack, three top-notch masters were killed and other top-notch masters were injured.
"How terrifying! More than twenty top-notch masters besieged us, and there were archers and hidden weapon masters cooperating in the attack. Three top-notch masters were killed like this? According to the rules of escaping from the abyss, everyone has the same physical fitness." Xu Jingming was shocked.
Once Tata died, the besieging top-notch masters naturally separated and attacked other weaklings.
They want to ensure their promotion! They are not willing to fight with other top-notch masters and both sides will suffer losses. After getting rid of Tata, these top-notch masters are already among the strongest.
…
Xu Jingming also encountered a strong enemy, a three-eyed man holding a shield and an axe rushed towards Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming held the gun in one hand and stared at his opponent.
The three-eyed man came at him fiercely, and when he was less than ten meters away—
call out!
A cold light suddenly shot out from Xu Jingming's sleeve. The distance was too close! The speed of this hidden weapon was too fast! The three-eyed man used to block his upper body with his left hand shield, but this cold light shot towards the alien's calf.
He immediately pressed down with his left hand shield, and at the same time forced a change of footwork! In fact, within a distance of ten meters, it seemed that they were about to fight, and at this moment, forcibly changing the footwork... also made the three-eyed alien's body movement a little chaotic.
As Xu Jingming swung out the dagger with his right hand, he rushed out and stabbed it swiftly!
When the opponent dodged the dagger, Xu Jingming sensed the opponent's state, seized the node of the opponent's chaotic body movement, and stabbed out with the spear in his hand! Swish! When the spear touched the axe, it spun slightly and changed direction to pierce the three-eyed man's shoulder, tearing! One arm flew up.
"ah."
The three-eyed man cried out in pain and hurriedly resisted with the axe in one hand.
With the shield and axe, he might be able to fight Xu Jingming, but after his arm was broken, he was obviously much weaker in defense with only one axe. Xu Jingming's spearmanship, integrated with the mysteries of "Flowing Water Scroll" and "Time and Space Scroll", shot after shot, making the momentum more and more fierce. With only five consecutive shots, he pierced the chest of the three-eyed alien.
"If there wasn't a dagger, the outcome would be hard to predict." Xu Jingming breathed a sigh of relief after killing his opponent.
Not long after killing the opponent, a dark red beam of light descended!
128 people survived.
…
"Congratulations on reaching the seventh level of the Dark Abyss. You are getting closer and closer to escaping the abyss. The rules of each subsequent round will be different. The rules of this round: Kill one person, and you can enter a higher level." The voice echoed in the sky.
Xu Jingming was holding a spear. As soon as he heard the voice, he saw a woman holding two knives coming towards him.
"Is it her?" Xu Jingming's heart trembled. Among the top-notch masters who besieged Tata, there was this woman.
The double-blade woman's eyes were cold. She knew who were the top-notch players, so if she avoided them, she could easily enter the next round. She just chose a contestant who was closer to her.
She dodged twice and was already close to Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming used his shooting skills to close the distance.
"clang."
The sword broke Xu Jingming's spear move, and Xu Jingming immediately pulled his spear to defend himself! But the woman was already close, with two swords whistling. Xu Jingming rolled his spear to barely block one sword, and the other sword swept across Xu Jingming's body.
Xu Jingming's body turned into illusion.
"You only made three strikes and I'm gone?" Xu Jingming was a little confused. The gap between the two sides was too big.
Xu Jingming was eliminated!
Finally stopped at the seventh level of the dark abyss!
"oh."
“That’s amazing.”
"I escaped all the way to the seventh level of the abyss."
"One of the 128."
Director Zhou and other senior executives of Blue Star also breathed a sigh of relief. They had been very nervous watching the game. They were all quite impressed. Xu Jingming's performance was excellent.
"Xu Jingming has only been practicing for a short time. Looking at the vast universe, there are many people who are stronger than him. It is rare for him to reach the seventh floor of the Dark Abyss. This is the result of the official preference of the game." The senior executives of Blue Star are also very clear about this. Novices will have better luck when they play for the first time. Of course, in addition to luck, strength is also required to escape to the seventh floor.
At the same time, the top leaders of Blue Star also felt a little powerless.
Xu Jingming is already the highest level of military force on Blue Star! The most evolved form of Blue Star right now is the sixth level of star life.
As the highest level military force on Blue Star, they all seemed mediocre in the 'medium-sized' escape from the abyss activity!
This shows how weak Blue Star's overall strength is on the road to evolution!
"In more than half a year, the protection period for the newly emerged civilization will end, and we will truly face the storms in the universe." The top leaders of Blue Star felt increasingly pressured.
…
Eliminated.
Xu Jingming appeared in a dark and empty place.
"Xu Jingming, you escaped from the 20th floor of the Dark Abyss all the way to the 7th floor. Although you failed in the end, you can still get a considerable bonus for your outstanding performance."
"As of now, the bonus pool amount is 25.39 million Universe Coins! Because this 'Escape from the Dark Abyss' is still going on, the total amount of the bonus pool is still increasing. You can withdraw 25.39 million Universe Coins first, and the game official will make up the remaining amount later. You can also choose to receive the total amount in one lump sum after the escape from the abyss is over."
Xu Jingming nodded gently: "Extract."
Immediately, 25.39 million cosmic coins were credited to the account.
"Reminder: Please be careful with your spending. According to the regulations of the Universal Human Alliance, after each universal year, all citizens of the universe need to pay corresponding taxes."
Xu Jingming saw this scene and sighed secretly.
The Universal Human Alliance collects taxes from every citizen of the universe.
The corresponding tax will be calculated according to your expenditure and income in a "universe year"! Don't even think about tax evasion. Even the high-ranking members of the Universe Human Alliance dare not evade taxes.
"After the Universal Human Alliance collects taxes, it will also give part of the taxes to the Star Alliance." Xu Jingming thought, "I heard that the civilization in my hometown also has the right to collect taxes."
For example, the Blue Star civilization has the right to collect taxes from the "cosmic citizens" of this civilization.
"But the Blue Star civilization is temporarily exempt from taxation for space citizens." Xu Jingming secretly sighed, he knew the reason very well. This is very common in the universe. Many weak civilizations are tax-free for their own "space citizens"! They dare not impose taxes because... they are afraid! They are afraid that space citizens will immigrate.
It is very easy for space citizens to immigrate. Many powerful civilizations welcome the immigration of space citizens. Looking at the entire universe human alliance, only the immigration of advanced civilizations in the universe has many restrictions.
Others, including medium-sized civilizations in the universe, welcome "space citizens" to join.
Most weak civilizations are exempt from taxes on space citizens, but they will encourage "space citizens" to donate to their home civilization.
"I got more than 20 million universe coins this time." Xu Jingming was very excited. "It's a big profit! But my luck is really good. I won every time in the three rounds of team battles! In the early stage, I didn't encounter any masters around."
Apparently when the game officials released the contestants, there were no powerful experts around Xu Jingming in the early stages, so they took all-round care of this 'rookie' who was participating for the first time, making his gaming experience very good!
"Escape from the Dark Abyss, limited to five times a day?" Xu Jingming opened the interface and took a look. "Calm down, calm down. I was just lucky this time. Don't sink."
…
However, having earned a huge bonus once, how could one resist not trying again?
In the next half month, Xu Jingming played a total of ten times! Each time was a "Medium Escape from the Abyss" event. In these ten times, the game officials no longer showed favoritism and began to be fair and just. The position where Xu Jingming was placed was also in the crowd, with contestants in front, behind, left and right.
The result is that I failed to make it past the third round four times! I often encounter "first-class masters" around me, and occasionally I encounter "super first-class masters".
Two times I only made it through three rounds! Get the entry fee.
There are four more times...the highest one stopped in the seventh round!
"Ten times, no one made it past nine rounds. In total, I didn't lose money, and even made a small profit." Xu Jingming reviewed the past. "After all, this is just a cosmic game. I heard that the main storyline of 'Dark Abyss' is about truly struggling in despair and honing your mind."
"However, the focus of my early training was in the Blood Rain World."
…
Time passed, and finally it was time to meet with the Fei family.
"Blood Rain World." Standing in the spaceship, Xu Jingming lightly tapped and descended into that vast world again - the Blood Rain World.
