◎【Polar Abyss】(2) “Those worthless guys are not worth my effort”◎

Chronos.

This name appeared in Xia Li's eyes several times.

The first time was found inside the wall of the holographic chamber, with red text evenly arranged within a seal-like symbol; the second time was at the end of the game manual, also with a seal-like name.

Before the Eye in the Sky appeared, she had often wondered who was behind the "Miracle".

After all, this is a large-scale game covering the entire planet, and as the game's producer and director, they have never appeared in public.

It was not until she officially came into contact with the Eye in the Sky that Xia Li finally resolved the many doubts she had in her mind.

The Eye in the Sky is Chronos, and Chronos is the game system that supports the operation of "Miracle".

It was born in the universe tens of millions of years ago, and feeds on energy fragments remaining in every corner of the universe. Over time, the energy fragments merged into a huge core.

This core is the original form of "Miracle".

"In the initial stage, there was actually only one continent, because my core was not strong enough to support the simultaneous operation of multiple continents." The Eye in the Sky continued to explain.

"Later, as time went on, I absorbed more and more energy fragments, and the power of my core gradually grew stronger. The continent was then split into two, the Shia Continent and the Saye Continent that you are familiar with today."

Speaking of the mainland, Xia Li suddenly remembered something.

In her previous life's "Miracle," there were only two continents: Shia and Saye. But in this life, the southern continent of Rose suddenly appeared. She hadn't figured out why before, but now, through the information provided by the Eye in the Sky, she finally understood.

When the planet Tost was attacked, a large number of players registered and logged in, providing huge energy to the core. With enough energy, the core split off a new continent for players to settle down.

All doubts have been basically cleared up, so the only question left is the last one.

"Why was I reborn?"

No, to be more precise, it should be why the time in the game was reset, and why she was the only one who retained the memory before the reset.

The look in the Eye of the Sky suddenly became vague, and Xia Li had a hunch that there was something fishy going on.

"Emm, this..."

Sure enough, the Eye in the Sky began to hesitate.

Xia Li: "Speak."

Eye in the Sky: "Actually... besides being the guardian of the universe, I... I am also the god of time..."

The Eye in the Sky spoke the last few words in a voice almost as soft as a mosquito.

Xia Li pricked up her ears hard and barely heard the word "time".

"The Space Hunter is chasing me, isn't he? After I sensed he was getting closer, I planned to reset the game time and pack up and escape, just like I did on other planets before. The result..."

Xia Li raised her eyebrows, and a sense of oppression emanated from her whole body.

The Eye in the Sky whimpered in fear. "I, I was a little sleepy at the time and I dialed back the wrong time... And then, your character died at the exact moment I dialed back. So... maybe the Core didn't notice and left you out, so you're the only one who retained the memories before the reset..."

Ha, she really is the chosen one. Xia Li curled her lips.

"No, but this is also good. You see, you remember everything from your previous life. You know how to trigger the plot and how to play the dungeon. The game virus was eliminated by you very quickly, and the core is very satisfied~" The Eye in the Sky tried to rationalize the situation.

But no matter how much rationalization is done, it cannot conceal the fact that the space hunters have chased us to the mainland.

According to the Eye in the Sky, if the players don't get rid of the alien monsters brought by the pursuers and don't block the crack in the sky, the continent will be bloodbathed sooner or later, and the core will be swallowed by the pursuers sooner or later.

So she was just playing a game, how come there were so many accidents?

Xia Li sighed long and deeply.

Sky Eye thought she was giving up and panicked. "Hey Alchemist, you're not going to change your mind all of a sudden, are you?! I'm telling you, to fight the pursuers, I racked my brains, exhausted all my spare energy, and worked all night to create this elite dungeon! And now, when it's released, no one's interested. You're one of the few pioneers, and I won't let you leave!"

Xia Li said lightly: "Then you can give me a chance to revive?"

Although she knew from Zi Teng that as long as teammates used the resurrection skill on the dead player within 3 minutes, the player could be resurrected, but who knew whether Murphy, the priest, would really save her?

Unfortunately, upon hearing about resurrection, Sky Eye blushed. "It's not that I won't give you a chance, but I can sense that the energy in my core is being rapidly devoured by the pursuers. I don't have any extra energy left to save you... so... hmm."

It turned out to be true. Ever since the goblins in the Ceylon Mountains discovered the parts of guns in the back mountains, the pursuers have been slowly devouring the core of "Miracle".

However, Xia Li didn't really intend to have any chance of resurrection. She just wanted to find out the reason behind it.

Now that she has tested it, the polar abyss should be opened.

The blue light circle flashed slightly, and the next moment, the person who had been standing in front of the light circle disappeared.

At this time, in the copy, Murphy, who had not seen Xia Li enter for a long time, couldn't help but start to doubt.

"She wouldn't have escaped at the last minute, would she?"

"Maybe he saw that the level of the dungeon was too high and he felt he couldn't beat it, so he just left the battle?" Yamato Mitsuyo clicked her tongue, thinking that this alchemist was just so-so. He really overestimated her back then in Ite Ice Land.

However, Che An interrupted the two: "She is not out of the battle, she is still in the team."

Her ID was still lit in the team list.

"Why hasn't that guy come in yet? Maybe he wants to come in but is so scared that he'll pee his pants, hahaha!" The male soldier who had been silent before suddenly burst into laughter.

Che An gave him an ambiguous look.

Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in front of them.

The male soldier's smile froze.

Xia Li glanced over lightly and said with a smile, "Sorry, I was just sorting out my equipment and potions outside."

cut.

Before entering the dungeon, Xia Li heard a very light sound of the male warrior behind her.

The Polar Abyss is indeed an elite-level dungeon. As soon as the five people stepped into the dark passage, the first wave of monsters rushed up from all directions.

The light in the elite dungeon is much lower than that in the normal and difficult dungeons. Although the group can hear the monsters approaching, they cannot identify their specific locations.

"Fire a flare." Che An ordered.

"Okay!" Yamato Mitsuyo took out the props and threw them forward.

The red light suddenly illuminated the small passage, and five gray fat worms thicker than human waists were crawling towards them.

"What a disgusting fat worm!"

Yamato Mitsuyo stood back with a look of disgust, but he did not hesitate at all in drawing the bow.

Five arrows shot out from the bowstring in an instant, heading straight for the five huge soft worms that rushed towards their head.

Then Che An swam out from a corner, waving his staff above his head, and his group attack skill instantly knocked down the health bar of a soft worm.

The sickly corpse lay in the dark brown blood. Surprisingly, the blood and the corpse did not emit a disgusting smell, but instead had a faint scent of pollen.

As Xia Li passed by the insect corpse, she clearly noticed that something seemed to have changed on the dark and damp ground.

But she did not stop and continued to throw the poison gas forward. There were two loud bangs in the passage and another soft worm fell down.

This wave was just some small monsters. Although the five soft worms looked huge, their health was actually not very high. Except for the priest Murphy who did not attack, the remaining four people quickly dealt with the soft worms on the spot.

The passage was suddenly filled with a strong fragrance.

The male warrior was always in the front and closest to the insect corpse, so he naturally smelled the smell first. He sniffed his nose.

"It smells so good, maybe there's something hidden inside this fat worm."

He walked forward while talking.

"Don't go forward." Xia Li, who had keenly noticed some changes in the ground, warned, "It might be a trap."

The male soldier turned around and laughed heartily. "No way, no way, the summer pear blossoms that are praised as gods in the world are actually going to get scared one day?"

He then revealed a look of disdain. "Excuse me, but the Alchemist is trash. You're not suited for a dungeon team. You'll only drag your teammates down. I don't know what those idiots can't fathom praising you to the skies. Isn't it just a few first kills in dungeons? Everyone knows your teammate is a powerful priest. He always brings several healers with him to dungeons. Even a worthless person wouldn't be able to die."

"Then why don't you bring a few Fengyuntianxia pastors with you next time?" Xia Li crossed her hands on her chest and asked slowly.

"I don't want that crappy guild. It's full of nannies, and the output has no status at all. They are not taken seriously at all. Going to that crappy place is simply courting death."

"It sounds like you've joined Fengyun Tianxia before?" Xia Li looked at the ID above his head again, Brave Niu Niu, but she didn't have much impression of it.

The other party snorted and did not answer her question.

She has Baili Xi's guild management authorization and can see personnel changes.

Enter the other party's ID, and the historical record will pop up almost instantly.

"Brave Niu Niu, joined Fengyun Tianxia a month ago and quit the guild three weeks ago." Xia Li read out the record slowly.

Brave Niu Niu's expression changed instantly: "How did you know?!"

He had only been a member for a week, and he hadn't seen her during that week. How could she know?

Xia Li remained calm, her eyes fixed on the text. "Because of maliciously provoking trouble in the world and on the forums, which seriously affected the guild's image, and despite three warnings, he still hasn't corrected his behavior, he has been expelled from the guild."

Brave Niu Niu's eyes immediately turned fierce, as if that would only make him more powerful. "I don't understand your crappy rules, but none of you in Fengyun Tianxia are good people anyway! You take advantage of your power to bully us newcomers, deliberately excluding me and preventing me from joining the group. You only act nice on the outside, but you're actually disgusting!"

Hearing this, Murphy couldn't help but throw a smiling face at Yamato Mitsuyo, who also lowered her head slightly, with unstoppable joy in her eyes.

Xia Li knew very well that the people in front of her had an attitude towards her. She sighed softly and had no choice but to pull out the team list and click on the panel of Brave Niu Niu from her teammates' perspective.

"What are you doing?" Brave Niu Niu stared at her movements with a wary look on his face.

In the same team, players can see some basic personal information of their teammates, including level, occupation, combat power and weapons.

Xia Li ignored him, her eyes quickly scanning the panel and the ground, then closed the page and chuckled lightly: "You can continue even if one of you is missing."

"What do you mean?" Brave Niu Niu met Xia Li's eyes, which were smiling but cold, and he couldn't help but shudder all over.

However, before Xia Li could speak, Brave Niu Niu suddenly felt something tightly wrapped around his ankles! Then, that thing climbed upwards at an incredible speed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Murphy and the others found that his whole body was covered with a disgusting and sticky substance.

"ah--!"

"Save me! Pastor, save me!"

Screams continued to come from the inner layer, and even under the isolation of the film, they sounded particularly miserable and harsh.

The health bar of the brave bull in the list was rapidly decreasing. Yamato Mitsuyo clenched her fists nervously: "Sister Fei, can you save me?"

Murphy frowned, as if thinking.

The wailing continued for a few more seconds. Seeing the health bar about to reach 0, Xia Li saw Murphy coldly raise his eyelids and said with the disdainful look he gave to a dead person: "No, I won't save you. This worthless guy is not worth my effort."
