Chapter 113, "Burning the Boats," seemed to have him completely trampled underfoot...
In order to make a clean getaway, Chen Dixin prepared a lot of good things.
As the ship drew closer, Shen Dixin sensed something; it was the feeling of being watched, and the malice detector in his chest was burning hot.
There were seven players in the range of the gold-rimmed glasses. The "tea egg rice" that Coffee had told her about was not among them. It seems that this guy only hid his ranking because he had caused trouble.
Besides that, when the information gathered from various channels was put together, it actually matched up pretty much, and four of the names were ones I had seen before.
Chen Dixin has a very good memory; he matched all their information with their names.
"【Shadow】, 【Ma Liang's Magic Brush】, 【Calling Clouds】, 【Recasting】."
She read it aloud, while Lu Mingang, who was beside her, quickly flipped through the documents to reinforce his memory.
These individuals can respectively manipulate shadows, bring to life objects they draw, possess a cloud that can change the weather, and adjust the form of matter.
During these days, Coffee didn't slack off, using all her skills to dig for clues. While other players were bored out of their minds because they couldn't get to the island, she slept less than four hours a day.
Without needing Chen Dixin to explain in detail, she understood its importance, fearing that even the slightest leak of information would be the last straw that broke the camel's back.
If there were no hidden rankings, the leaderboard might have included their members. This simple possibility allowed her to investigate nearly two hundred people directly, and that's how the owner of Huyun was discovered.
The discovery of the reconstruction was also made by following the clues. It was found that there had been a large amount of income in the past. A channel with 10,000 people is still too small. In addition, after each disaster, only a few thousand people are left. Familiar faces are even more hard to avoid.
Almost everyone has a social circle of dozens or even hundreds of people, and when these circles overlap, they almost always leave no trace.
The remaining two people were unsure, so Shen Dixin posted the name in the group chat, asking people to inquire about it now.
However, there may not be enough time. The opponent is extremely fast, or rather, they are teleporting.
It's not the talent of any of the four, but perhaps a rare active skill.
Just what she wanted, Chen Dixin smiled and waved her hand.
Lu Mingang and her two pets were already in position. At her command, four shells were fired. After discovering that the enemy could move at high speed, she changed the landing point of the shells. Her pets, who were in sync with her, also aimed at the left and right sides.
There are plenty of shells, and with the relentless bombardment, a few are bound to hit. The enemy ship is instantly reduced to wreckage, and any ship hit will lose at least 100 points of health.
Teleportation also requires stamina, especially when changing landing points midway. After dodging three attacks, the woman with long, flowing red hair on the ship was covered in cold sweat and had to drink a strangely colored beverage to avoid collapsing.
"I can't go on, boss, I'm completely out of stamina."
The burly man at the head of the group remained unfazed. Seeing that one approach was not working, he turned his gaze to the guy next to him who was awkwardly holding a calligraphy brush. "Just get on the boat."
The tall, thin man hurriedly wielded his brush and drew a bridge connecting the two boats. Although the distance was clearly too short, stepping on it would miraculously lead to the destination.
The most crucial ability of 【Ma Liang's Magic Brush】 is 【Entering the Painting】, which allows him to realistically use the things he draws.
He can only draw three times a day, and the amount of stamina he draws will be consumed according to what he draws. As soon as the bridge was drawn, two-thirds of his stamina was gone.
This is the current state of talent, which can be actively used; it's either on the path to depleting stamina or already depleted.
The tall, thin man and the red-haired woman stayed behind and devoured the food that restored their stamina, while the others moved quickly along the bridge.
With a stationary target, four cannonballs were fired simultaneously, only to be blocked one after another by the protective shields of the Radiant Knights. The fact that they could collect so many suggests that some of them might actually be Radiant Knights.
Shen Dixin complained, "The actions of the Radiant Knight are anything but honorable."
She took out the Dark Night Blade when she had a moment, pulled out a small bottle of potion from her waist, and applied it evenly to the blade. A moment later, it simply disappeared right under her nose!
Only a tightly clenched hand can see that it still exists. Shen Dixin is satisfied with the effect. How can one dodge an invisible knife?
She had used Dark Night for at least a month, and even after evolving from dual swords to a single sword, its appearance had not changed much. In other words, Shen Dixin knew exactly where it could attack.
She even spent those five days training specifically to be able to fight the enemy as usual even when the weapon is not visible. Such insidious tactics are quite effective against thinking creatures!
Shen Dixin had already signed a contract with that pharmacist, who would provide her with a certain amount of invisibility potion every month, which made her extremely happy.
This potion, which can only make inanimate objects invisible, had no market before. Selling it would be a waste of time. She only accumulated a lot of it because the materials were common. She would occasionally refine some in order to gain experience and get back what she could!
She was also secretly interested in learning how to use the Heart-Cleansing Potion, which pharmacist was curious about! If this potion could permanently hide items, she could buy it to conceal rare items on her person.
However, the invisibility potion only lasts for one hour, so using it in large quantities is not cost-effective; even the cheapest potion still has a cost.
The pharmacist brewed a whole box of medicine but couldn't figure out how to use it. She couldn't bear to waste it, so she just left it to gather dust. Now she's selling it to Chen Dixin at a rock-bottom price.
She thought Shen Dixing was being taken advantage of, but when the long-term subscription contract came out, she was dumbfounded. It seemed like she had sold it too cheaply?
Shen Dixin didn't want the first thing she'd do in a fight to be guess whether her opponent was wielding a spear or a dagger, so she replied with a smiling emoji and ended the chat.
With the invisibility potion, the few people who boarded the ship first were caught off guard, and some of them lost their ability to fight back after only a few moves.
After all, she wasn't fighting alone. Zhu Sha used her intimidation to control her, Chen Dixin stabbed her through, and then Lu Mingang delivered a heavy blow. The only reason she didn't die immediately was because her body's data was digitized and she had to rely on her health bar to survive.
Although the burly man was the most imposing, he was the last to board the ship, allowing the four men in front of him to take the brunt of the firepower before he finally appeared with a sullen face.
As soon as he was noticed, he turned into a shadow and hid in the shadows, waiting for his chance to strike.
Shen Dixin raised an eyebrow, stepped back to the wall, and threw a huge fish eye upwards.
The fisheye flew to a height of three meters and stopped, emitting a dazzling light that instantly dispelled the gloomy atmosphere of the night.
Don't let its ugly appearance fool you, this thing is a shadowless lamp, specifically designed to ward off shadows.
The shadow man was forced to revert to his original form, and only then did an ugly expression appear on his face.
After obtaining the list of enemies, Shen Dixin prepared items for all the players she thought would be difficult to deal with, and this fish eyeball was one of them. Although this would cause her to lose the speed bonus of "Dark Robe", the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
What are you planning to do with your shadow? You can't exactly stab the ground with a knife.
The opponent's center of gravity shifted instantly, and the arrow flew out and shot towards the fish's eye.
But it was blocked by a shield, so you guys made a deal with the paladin!
The shadow man was clearly the leader; they must have had covert means of communication, rapidly changing their plans, and their teamwork was terrifyingly synchronized! It was as if they shared a single brain.
Even it takes Shen Dixin several seconds to notify her pets, but they seem to need no time at all!
This kind of cooperation, which focused on cleansing their minds, gradually put them at a disadvantage.
She gritted her teeth, gave Lu Mingang a hand gesture, he nodded, and retreated with Zhu Sha and Yuanbao.
Then, as if freed from some kind of restraint, Chen Dixin smiled and launched an offensive that could be described as a suicide attack.
As long as the benefits are right, she is not afraid to trade injuries for injuries, and her average attributes, which are more than ten points higher than hers, make it impossible for anyone present to restrain her.
Shen Dixin went berserk, attacking wildly across the field, fixated on the two players whose talents she didn't understand, wielding her Shadow Blade haphazardly without anyone getting close.
Even the thickest health bar can't withstand such squandering. Shen Dixin's health quickly dropped to zero, and even with only a dozen or so points left, she didn't stop attacking.
"They look like they're on drugs," one person complained, then quickly shut up.
"That's right, she took drugs." Shen Dixin's status bar was still flashing with the buff from the strength potion. Since she couldn't drink three bottles at once, she drank two bottles each of the green, blue, and purple quality potions and the three attributes of strength, agility, and physique.
She is now barely conscious, but not completely so, and can only recognize the targets of her attacks.
Before the first life died, it dragged two others down with it. Before the shadow man could get excited, another one, Chen Dixin, walked out of the room.
Hi~
Her clothes were tattered and stained with blood, but the wounds had completely disappeared. She smiled brightly and waved to the few people who were still standing.
My dizzy mind refreshed my state; drinking so many potions was really shortening my lifespan.
Thankfully, there's the substitute doll, the ultimate evolution of the substitute doll! The item quality has reached gold, and it can not only restore full health but also temporarily swap your buffs and debuffs with the doll.
The two items she received cost her a total of fifty purple dishes, a purple weapon, and matching weapon upgrade materials. She had just saved up some materials to upgrade the Thorns, and then it was all gone.
Even when the stock at home was insufficient, she spent a lot of other materials to exchange for forging stones. Then, it wasn't that she didn't want to exchange them, but that the puppeteers couldn't make that many in a short time.
[The player triggers the "Scapegoat Doll" event and gains the status "Revenge".]
Seemingly saddened by the dead fish in the tank, her eyes burned with anger. Shen Dixin clearly felt herself being controlled by her emotions, but she didn't need to think too much when she fought.
Adding fuel to the fire? Taking advantage of the situation.
A quick glance revealed five people still present. She killed two of them, and the two who had previously recovered their strength rejoined the battle.
Excellent! Shen Dixin flipped his hand and produced several more bottles of medicine from somewhere. This battle was going to be a fight to the death.
She only has three lives; killing two is too few!
A potion? The shadow man's pupils contracted; he couldn't let this woman continue to kowtow!
Under the fisheye light, he forcibly transformed into a shadow, which spread to Shen Dixin's side with a gust of wind.
Even though she had absolutely no confidence in taking a do-or-die approach, Chen Dixin still wore a mocking expression.
She stepped on the shadowy figure without backing down, as if she had him completely under her feet.
When he boarded the ship, Zhu Sha said that the shadow he transformed into was only a form of soul, and the reason he couldn't be attacked was because he used a physical attack.
Soul? That's what she fears least. Shen Dixin is someone who has been reborn, meaning that the attribute points she gained in both lives have been used to strengthen one person's soul. This is a level of soul strength that even mermaids acknowledge.
We're just waiting for you to walk right into our trap!
