Chapter 13: The Secret of the Bandit



Nearly half an hour passed before the bandit was sent back.

Including the bandit, there were only four people left in the room.

"The person who tried to trip you up is the last one left." The bandit replied directly with this sentence.

"Do you know his identity?" Li Xiu asked again.

"He's not the administrator, but he should be related to Lao Gu. I saw Lao Gu taking him away with a smile on his face." Ah Fei thought for a while and said.

"Does Lao Gu want to kill me? Probably not." Li Xiu shook his head and denied the idea.

Now Lao Gu holds the power of life and death in the Abyss Base. If Lao Gu wants to kill him, there is no need to go through so much trouble. There are too many simpler and more direct methods.

Without more information, Li Xiu was unable to make an effective judgment and could only keep this question in his mind for the time being.

"Why did you help me today?" Li Xiu brought up the old matter again and discussed it with Ah Fei in a low voice.

"Since the administrator attacked you, it means you are not from Lao Gu's side. If you and I join forces, you may have a better chance of survival." said A Fei.

"Do you suspect Lao Gu?"

"Don't you have any doubts? The passage being destroyed by evil spirits might just be an excuse. The administrator's sending out the trial might be because he wants to clear out all the trial-takers who were forced to come here." Ah Fei said in a cold voice.

"What's the reason?" Li Xiu looked at Ah Fei's face, which looked a little fierce because of the scars. The ugly scars could not hide her wisdom and merits.

"I'm not sure, but there is a possibility." Ah Fei seemed a little hesitant and did not express her suspicion directly.

Li Xiu looked at Ah Fei quietly without saying anything, waiting for her to make her own decision.

"Maybe Lao Gu has discovered the secret of the Haitian Trial Field." The bandit stared at Li Xiu for a long time and finally told him a secret.

The blue stone gate was discovered three years ago, and A Fei was one of the first trial-takers to come here.

In the past three years, Ah Fei has participated in more than a hundred trials. If she is able to survive now because of her own strength, then how could she, an ordinary weak girl three years ago, survive such cruel trials again and again?

Li Xiu had suspected this question before. After three years and more than a hundred strengthenings, A Fei's physical fitness should not be in its current state. At least it should be stronger than those ordinary administrators.

Li Xiu was a little surprised by the answer that Ah Fei told him.

"The trial items in the trial field are randomly changed, with S-level being the highest and E-level being the lowest. The Haitian Trial Field generally only has E-level and D-level trials, and at most C-level. Occasionally, there will be B-level and A-level trials, but at very special times, there will be an S-level trial. If you can make it to the end of that S-level trial, you will have the opportunity to obtain a special S-level skill reward... Give up..." Ah Fei's voice lowered a few points: "Once the trial begins, the trial-taker must generally complete the trial. Giving up is equivalent to accepting the punishment for failing the trial. However, those who have the skill of giving up can choose to give up after the trial begins. Although they will not get any reward, they can leave the trial field alive and will not be punished."

"When I first entered the trial field, I luckily made it to the end and obtained the skill of giving up. Now you know why I am still alive today. Every time I encounter a trial that I am unable to complete, I will use the skill of giving up, so I can still live until now." Ah Fei sighed.

Li Xiu immediately understood what Ah Fei meant. The skill of giving up can be described as a magical skill.

The Trial Gate is filled with dangers. Even the top trial-takers cannot guarantee that they will be able to pass the test and survive every time.

Having the skill of giving up is equivalent to having an extra golden ticket to immunity from death. Such a skill is enough to make any strong person excited, and it is an ability that can influence the world pattern.

If Lao Gu and the forces behind him really knew that the Haitian Trial Field could obtain such skills, they would undoubtedly block all the information at the first moment and would never let any outsiders get the news.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to let anyone leave the Abyss Base. All of them will be killed. Forcing them to continue entering the Trial Gate is just to squeeze out the last bit of surplus value.

"Based on my experience over the past three years, that S-level trial will appear approximately once every six months. If my calculations are correct, according to Lao Gu, when we enter the Haitian Trial Field for the sixth time, we will encounter that S-level trial." A Fei continued.

"How did you hide this from Lao Gu and the others before?" Li Xiu asked.

"I didn't hide it, and I couldn't hide it. If I gave up too many times, someone who participated in the trial with me would find out. Lao Gu and the others already knew that I could give up the trial and come out alive. They kept me just to find out which trial project I acquired this ability from." Ah Fei's eyes were firm: "Now it seems that they have figured it out. If they successfully complete the sixth trial and obtain the skill of giving up, I will be useless and will only die, so I must find a way to survive. After all, my power is limited, but there are not many people I can choose, and even fewer who can help me. I chose you because I have no other choice."

"Can you tell me what crime you committed outside, or what debt you owed that you haven't paid off in three years?" Li Xiu asked a question that had nothing to do with the previous topic.

"This has nothing to do with our cooperation." The bandit said with a cold face.

"Okay, then you tell me, how are we going to cooperate? You are not that naive woman, so you should know that with the strength of the two of us, we are definitely no match for Lao Gu and his men. Not to mention two of us, even if there were ten or twenty of us, we would not be able to win, not to mention that Lao Gu has two magic costume masters."

"So we only have one chance, to get rid of Lao Gu and the others during the trial. Lao Gu and some of his cronies will definitely participate in that trial in person, and then we will have a chance. Such a secret, even among Lao Gu, not many people will know it. I suspect that Lao Gu is the only one who knows it. Once he dies, no one in the base will know that we will all be killed. If we escape from the Abyss Base before the people behind Lao Gu arrive, we will have a chance to survive. This is also our only chance to survive." The bandit repeatedly emphasized that this was their only chance.

"What if there is someone else on Lao Gu's side who knows this secret?" Li Xiu asked.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Ah Fei's eyes were firm. She was not someone who would be easily shaken.

"Okay, then tell me, what kind of trial is it?" Li Xiu was also a little curious about the S-level trial.
