Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1171 - 121: Splitting the Spoils? Setting Out Again
The aura of death is dissipating, but the scene remains silent.
The matter has come to an end. Divine Valley Haoye, who played the most important role of "father" in Xu Shu’s life, is completely dead.
With the disappearance of the third-stage late-stage Corpse King, Xie Xiaochan and the others finally feel relieved.
The fierce battle has ended, but even though victory was ultimately achieved, it came with a significant cost.
Both "Executioner" Lin Zhengxing and "Butcher" Anzi fell here.
From the cautious, vigilant approach at the beginning, to the overwhelming morale boost after a mid-battle strategy change, to the final victory paid for with a heavy price.
In just an hour, everyone experienced the ups and downs of life.
Thinking of those two’s unbearable end, even the strong third-rank can’t help but sigh inwardly.
At this moment, some even wonder if Lin Zhengxing and Anzi hadn’t proposed a mid-battle strategy change, could they have avoided death?
After all, although the enemy was strong, their side was not weak either.
Perhaps if Lin Zhengxing had a chance to start over, he wouldn’t have been so confident.
What a pity!
As the saying goes, life is like a game of chess, once a move is made, there’s no turning back; every choice you make, just like a butterfly’s wings, can have far-reaching effects!
Legend or decay, it’s all a thought away!
Perhaps in many years, if Lin Zhengxing makes a comeback, the life he regretted dying for could change the fate of a new life, who knows?
Xu Shu: "..."
[You let out a series of ellipses, perhaps you feel the same way?]
"..." Xu Shu’s mouth twitched, feeling speechless as he looked away from the Tai Chu Scroll.
Perhaps it’s because the Zouma Lantern failed to send, now creating its own "evaluation" here?
If not for the fact that he’s been revived twice, the Tai Chu Scroll might as well join the atmosphere team this time...
He didn’t continue to watch Tai Chu Scroll’s self-directed play, instead, he took two steps, patted his knees, and stood up, supporting the mermaid at his waist, saying:
"Phew, this time, thanks to everyone’s powerful effort holding back this Corpse King, otherwise we might have been doomed! Alas, it’s a pity Anzi and Brother Lin both perished here, surely they’d cheer for us knowing we won, even in the underworld."
This time, nearly all five Corpse Kings were killed by Xu Shu alone.
His words made everyone blush directly.
"Brother Xu, your words truly embarrass me, if not for you, we would all have perished at the hands of the Corpse King!" Ning Zhaoxuan quickly waved his hand, not having time to lament for their fallen companions.
Xu Shu Dao: "Brother Ning, what are you saying? Without you, I wouldn’t have passed the mermaid obstacle."
"Me too, me too!" Yan Shan raised both hands in agreement, feeling Xu Shu truly understood him, who knows the agony of wanting but unable to control oneself sometimes?
"I meant the mermaid obstacle." Xu Shu glanced at him and added silently.
"..." Yan Shan’s expression froze suddenly.
With that, the atmosphere of mourning their teammates was swept away, and under Xu Shu’s lead, everyone began to flatter each other.
"Brother Xu, you’re too modest, this was all your doing."
"No, no, you’re too modest, actually, Sister Bi Yun was also greatly credited, it’s all thanks to her."
"Ah? No, no, I didn’t do anything, it was all thanks to Sister Rong."
"No, no, it was thanks to Sister Yue Ming."
"No, no..."
"No, no..."
Amidst the sound of mutual flattery, Xie Xiaochan couldn’t bear it any longer: "Stop arguing, it was clearly all my doing!"
"..."
Everyone immediately gave her a sidelong glance.
Your contribution?
Who the heck are you?
At this moment, Xu Shu, while under the watchful eyes of everyone, stuffed a few crystals into his pocket, which will be distributed uniformly later, and asked the most crucial question:
"What are we going to do next? With two people gone, can we still go to the special secret area within the ruins?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately turned serious, contemplating this issue solemnly, making the atmosphere very heavy.
A moment later, Yan Shan looked around and saw no one speaking, so he spoke first with emotion: "Ah, this is tricky now, in my opinion, it’s hard to continue with the ruins. Who would have thought the last person who should die actually died?"
"???"
The teammates initially agreed with the first half of his statement.
Who knew he would say something like that in the latter half.
With that, everyone was offended, speaking in a displeased manner: "Are you saying there’s someone here who should’ve died but hasn’t?"
"No, no, that’s not what I meant. I’m saying, I’m saying..." Yan Shan quickly tried to explain, his face turning red.
"You better not say anything." Seeing this, the others didn’t bother with him anymore.
However, they still felt a bit uncomfortable inside.
Actually, Yan Shan wasn’t entirely wrong.
In theory, Anzi, as a "rogue" third stage, really shouldn’t have been the one who died here.
In the Extraordinary Alliance, the rogue is the most adept at surviving.
Often, one can hear stories of entire strike teams being wiped out, but the rogue in the team is the sole survivor.
Simply put, the rogue’s first stage "Bloodlust" skill allows them to detect the source and intensity of danger in advance.
With this almost "avoid misfortune, seek fortune" bug-level capability, coupled with the rogue class’s inherent reputation for fleeing, rogues have become an essential part of any team, whether it’s exploring new territory or raiding ruins.
If only Lin Zhengxing had died, it would have been understandable, they could have continued with the ruins without him.
