The pawnshop owners are ruthless not only to others but also to themselves. This can be seen from the mummified corpses. These sixth-tier experts guarded the burial site with their lives and even after death, they did not remain idle. Instead, they integrated themselves entirely into the seal of the burial site, completely becoming a part of it.
What Fang Xiu could understand, everyone present except Yang Ming could understand as well.
After all, the spatial separation sensation emanating from the heart was too obvious, making everyone feel that this was the key to leaving the burial ground, but this power was too weak, and only by collecting all the keys could they leave.
For a moment, everyone had different thoughts and looked at each other in the room, and the atmosphere gradually became strange.
A battle where only one person can survive means that everyone is the enemy.
At this moment, Lu Ziming took the initiative and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, you must all understand that only one of us can leave the burial ground alive. If we don't unite, the only one who will survive is Fang Xiu!"
He directly targeted Fang Xiu, and instantly all eyes were on him.
He continued, "Now everyone's spirituality has recovered a little, although it is very weak, but it is enough to make up for the gap between our physical qualities and Fang Xiu's. As long as we rush at him together, we may be able to kill Fang Xiu!"
"After we deal with Fang Xiu, the strongest one, how about we each rely on our own abilities?"
The people at the burial site didn't need to say much; they simply echoed their sentiments.
"good!"
"If Fang Xiu doesn't die, no one else will live!"
"I'll give it my all! The chance to leave is right in front of me. If I don't fight for it, I won't die in peace!"
"I've had enough of living a life worse than death in this burial ground. Even if I die today, I want to die out here!"
Seeing that the people's hearts were with him, Lu Ziming nodded in satisfaction. The situation was now in his favor because after Fang Xiu died, he would be the strongest person, and he would likely be the last one to survive and leave the burial site alive.
At that time, no one will know about the filth and darkness of the burial site, and Lu Ziming will still be the bright and upright captain!
"Qingxin, Xiao Lizi, Xiao Xiong, you should also recognize the situation. I know you have a good relationship with Fang Xiu, but only one of you can leave the burial site alive. No matter how good your relationship is, it's useless! Are you going to give up your only chance to live to Fang Xiu?"
The best course of action is for us to join forces and eliminate Fang Xiu!
Lu Ziming's words did not win the approval of Luo Qingxin and the others; instead, they glared at him angrily.
Yang Ming went even further and cursed, "Do you think everyone is as cowardly as you? Of everyone here, only Brother Hugh's survival is truly valuable; only he can lead all of humanity to defeat the supernatural!"
After saying that, he turned to Fang Xiu and said, "Brother Xiu, remember to burn me two packs of cigarettes after you leave!"
Li Xiaoru and the others looked at Yang Ming, a look of emotion flashing in their eyes. They never expected that Yang Ming, who was usually unreliable, would be so reliable at this crucial moment.
"Hmph!" Lu Ziming sneered, "That's pure bullshit. Fang Xiu's life is his life, but ours isn't? Don't pay any attention to this fool. At this point, the only right thing to do is for everyone to unite and deal with Fang Xiu!"
He still tried to win over Luo Qingxin and the others, but he had already given up on Yang Ming; that guy had no brains.
Without the support of Luo Qingxin and the others, Lu Ziming was not very confident in fighting Fang Xiu. Although everyone had regained some of their spirituality, it was barely enough to unleash a decent ability, let alone a domain.
The only effect of this spirituality is to narrow the gap between him and Fang Xiu.
Because the recovery of spirituality is based on a percentage, for example, everyone has recovered one percent of their spirituality at this moment, but one percent for a fifth-tier expert is very different from one percent for a fourth-tier expert.
Fang Xiu was the lowest level among everyone present, so he recovered the least amount of spiritual energy.
It was thanks to the restoration of his spirituality that he was able to defeat Fang Xiu in hand-to-hand combat, even if everyone attacked him at once.
"Lu Ziming, you want us to help you deal with Brother Xiu? You're dreaming!" Li Xiaoru said angrily.
At this point, the two sides were divided into two camps.
On one side was the Burial Ground camp led by Lu Ziming, and on the other side was the Headquarters camp led by Fang Xiu. The two sides looked at each other across the distance, and a fierce look of fighting to the death flashed in their eyes. A grim atmosphere filled the scene, and a fierce battle was about to unfold.
Just then, Fang Xiu, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "Give me your hearts."
These words were spoken to Yang Ming and the others.
Yang Ming and the others were immediately taken aback.
"No, Hugh, even if you want our hearts, you have to defeat them first, right? If we die, are you going to fight them all by yourself?"
Fang Xiu shook his head: "Who told you that you have to kill people to collect all the forbidden hearts?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and the tense atmosphere in the room immediately froze.
Could there be... another way?
"Brother Xiu, you mean there's another way?!" Yang Ming was overjoyed. Compared to being burned after death, he would rather smoke while he was alive.
"What is the purpose of the burial site?" Fang Xiu did not answer, but instead asked the question.
Everyone was slightly taken aback, and a vague guess formed in their minds.
Yang Ming said bluntly, "Of course it's so he can get us to make money for him!"
Li Xiaoru rubbed his forehead, speechless: "If you don't have a brain, then shut up. What use is money to the Burial Ground? Money is just a means to control our killing of monsters. The real purpose of the Burial Ground is to make us kill monsters so that the seal can continuously gain power."
"You're the one who's brainless! That's exactly what I mean! Making money is all about killing monsters!"
Fang Xiu ignored the farce between the two and calmly explained, "The purpose of the Burial Ground is to kill the ghosts, and the death of everyone is not in the interest of the Burial Ground. Therefore, the real purpose of this level is not to kill each other."
Everyone was overjoyed, as no one wanted to die in vain.
"Hugh, you mean, we can all get out of here alive?"
Fang Xiu shook his head: "Only one person can leave the burial ground, because if everyone leaves, it will not be in the interest of the burial ground. The reason I asked you to offer your hearts is not to take your lives, but because the power of the forbidden heart in your hearts should be able to be transferred."
At this point, everyone finally understood.
This was the true purpose of the final challenge: everyone transferred the power of the Heart of Forbidden Ghosts to one person, who could then leave the burial ground while the others remained to work there.
