[Event: Ding! Congratulations, challenger, for discovering the Fountain of Resurrection! You have received 1 Resurrection Card]
Chen Ping raised an eyebrow at the prompt before him, and then, under his gaze, a card emitting a faint golden light rose from the Fountain of Resurrection. It was clearly a resurrection card.
After hovering above the Fountain of Resurrection for a while, the resurrection card transformed into a golden beam of light and shot towards Chen Ping.
Chen Ping listened for a few minutes, then said with some disappointment, "That's it? It's not even as good as a five-cent special effect, is it?"
However, after the resurrection card incident, Chen Ping has confirmed that the venue for this event should be similar to the Paradise of the Heart of the Divine Island, a man-made place with rules.
However, unlike Paradise, where Chen Ping had set a rule that death would result in being teleported out, the rules here were unknown to Chen Ping.
Chen Ping laughed and said, "No wonder I had a strange feeling. Now I understand. It's a place similar to amusement park. Hehe."
After the resurrection card disappeared, the Fountain of Resurrection also disappeared, obviously moving to another location. Chen Ping was not surprised to see this, since this had already been stated in the rules.
With the Fountain of Resurrection gone, Chen Ping observed the area for a while longer before deciding to explore further. As he went deeper, the cave's structure became more complex, and the passages began to branch. Chen Ping chose a path that seemed to be less frequented by humans.
As he walked, a low, humming sound faintly came from the distance, catching his attention.
Chen Ping: "Oh ho, I've found something!"
He slowed his pace and tiptoed toward the source of the sound until a huge underground space suddenly appeared before him.
In the center of the space, an altar made of crystal-clear minerals stood silently. The buzzing sounds emanated from a luminous sphere at the altar's center. The sphere's surface shimmered with multicolored light, like a miniature version of the cosmos, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. Chen Ping's heart stirred; his intuition told him this was no ordinary object. He wondered what kind of artifact it might be.
Just as he was about to approach, the ground suddenly trembled, and stone doors on the surrounding stone walls opened silently, from which countless luminous creatures of various shapes and sizes emerged, clearly guards protecting the altar.
roar!
roar!!
Countless roars rang out. Chen Ping looked at the densely packed guards and pursed his lips in displeasure. Wasn't this just making people do dungeon challenges?
After the roar, all the guards turned to look at Chen Ping, the only intruder in this underground space!
Da da da!!
The next moment, all the guards rushed towards Chen Ping. Judging from their posture, they were not there to play with Chen Ping, but to tear him to pieces!
......
At the Death Arena headquarters, in the event monitoring area, several staff members were watching one of the screens with amazement, exchanging glances as they watched.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the door. He looked around, about to nod in satisfaction, when he saw the staff members who were talking.
He frowned, then walked straight over, while the staff members remained completely unaware. Those who witnessed the incident could only offer their condolences.
The figure was none other than Mr. Edwards, the head of the Death Arena's activities department.
He entered the monitoring room, his initial satisfaction freezing instantly when he saw several employees huddled together whispering. Edwards strode confidently toward them, his characteristically authoritative steps halting their conversation and replaced by expressions of unease.
“Discussing personal matters during work hours is not in accordance with the professional standards of our Death Arena.” Edwards’s voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.
The employees looked at each other, not daring to breathe, and were about to explain when Edwards unexpectedly changed his tone, "However, if you are discussing issues related to the event, perhaps I can listen."
The employees looked relieved, and one of them mustered his courage and quickly reported, "Supervisor, we're discussing a special situation regarding this event. One participant seems to be very lucky; shortly after the start, they unexpectedly discovered a resurrection spring in the primeval forest area, which is extremely rare in previous events."
Edwards frowned slightly, then pulled up the relevant surveillance footage on the control panel. The screen showed Chen Ping facing a group of guards, yet remaining completely unfazed. "A lucky one, huh? This kind of start is indeed somewhat unexpected."
He muttered to himself, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes, "However, this is both an opportunity and a test. The challenges we set up are meant to select the truly strong."
Then, he turned to the staff, his tone becoming serious again: "Although he has had a good start, we cannot relax our monitoring and balancing of the event. Remember, our responsibility is to ensure the event is both fair and exciting."
Any factor that could affect the balance requires our timely assessment and response. Please continue to monitor the situation closely and report any unusual developments immediately.
After saying that, Edwards turned and left, leaving the employees to breathe a sigh of relief and be deeply impressed by the manager's keen insight and rigorous work attitude.
They returned to work, monitoring every aspect of the operation with greater care, and Chen Ping's battle in the underground space became their primary focus.
......
Meanwhile, Chen Ping, still in the event area, had no idea that he had almost caused a tragedy. Seeing the guards rushing towards him, he took out his Transformation Weapon, which transformed into a two-handed giant axe, and began to swing it.
These guards are generally weak; the strongest of them is only at the peak of the main god level, so they're easy prey.
A few minutes later, the stone gate finally stopped sending out guards, indicating that Chen Ping had completed the challenge.
Looking at the scattered stones around him, Chen Ping shook his head and sighed, "This level of strength is far from enough."
Upon arriving at the glowing sphere, Chen Ping examined it closely and realized that it was not a sphere at all, but an octagonal crystal. The reason it appeared to be a sphere was because the crystal was enveloped in light.
As soon as I picked up the crystal, the clue immediately came to mind.
[Event: Ding! Congratulations to the challenger for obtaining the Guardian Eight-Sided Crystal]
[Guardian Eight-Sided Crystal: After use, it can deploy a defensive shield that can withstand attacks from mid-stage God Kings for 30 minutes and attacks from late-stage God Kings for 10 minutes]
Chen Ping: "You even have an introduction? Hehe. But why isn't there a resurrection card? Is it because you look down on me, or is the meaning so obvious that you're too lazy to explain?"
