I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 778. Identity Exposed?!
Let's not think about Jiang Qiu'e for now.

Xia Feng continued to receive the rule information.

[Rule 1: There are numerous areas of Calamity Mist within the Sumeru Realm. Over time, the Calamity Mist will continuously expand towards safe areas.]

[Rule 2: {Sealed Land} requires two players to open. Once opened, players decide how to distribute the Ember Stones.]

[Rule 3: There is no limit to the number of rounds of the game, until a winner is determined.]

[Rule 4: Each round of the game consists of three phases: ① collecting embers; ② revealing the Red King's location; ③ exchanging item cards; and so on in a continuous cycle.]

[Rule 5: When the Red King dies, the Black King automatically transforms into the Red King; when the Black King dies, it drops a Black/Red King identity card, and the player who obtains the identity card gains the corresponding identity.]

[Rule 6: Sages and above cannot participate in the throne battle, but can be promoted to Sage after the game starts.]

[Rule 7: Each player has one resurrection opportunity. After resurrection, the player will automatically exit the game and enter spectator mode. If a player's sanity is less than 30, they will lose their resurrection opportunity and die.]

【.】

【Rule 999】

With a flood of information, the winning conditions of the game are easy to understand, but the specific rules are numerous, detailed, and complex.

It requires teamwork and cooperation for mutual benefit, but it also involves some intrigue and backstabbing.

However, in the end, it all comes down to individual combat strength.

As for individual combat strength, Xia Feng wanted to raise his hand to his forehead, but ultimately held back.

He is currently the weakest in the entire arena, and even his spiritual pressure at the Venerable One Realm has been completely exposed, but he still has to maintain his prestige.

At the same time, the eight people also received the rules information.

Everyone understands that the identities of the Red King and the Black King will be the key to this game.

As for who the red king and who the black king were, the eight people remained calm and observed each other without noticing anything unusual.

Xia Feng also silently observed the eight people, silently repeating to himself, "I am not the Black King, I am not the Black King."

It must be said that the identity of Black King does have advantages, allowing him to survive for a while.

As for the Red King, things are a bit bad. Although he gained the first-mover advantage, if he can quickly collect 1000 Ember Stones, he can clear the game directly.

Unfortunately, rule 44 states that as long as someone finds the "Red King Exposure Card," the Red King location phase can be activated, revealing the approximate range of the Red King's location to all players.

So, it all depends on how fast the Red King can collect the Ember Stones. Can he gather 1000 Ember Stones before the others discover his location and surround him?

Xia Feng, the owner of the Black King's identity, both hoped that the Red King could live longer to buy him time to collect the Ember Stones, but he also didn't want the Red King to live too long, otherwise it would be all over if the Red King collected all the Ember Stones.

As Xia Feng frowned and pondered Black King's strategy according to the game rules, the countdown had already begun.

[Descent Countdown: 109]

Simultaneously,

[You have 2100 Life Points, which have been automatically converted into 21 Ember Stones, which can be used to exchange for item cards.]

[Round Zero Item Cards Revealed (Level 0 Cards): Ashlands Exploration Card, Active Burst Position Card, Ashstone Multiplier Card]

【321--】

The solid pillar beneath his feet vanished like a phantom, and Xia Feng plummeted into the abyss, everything going black.

But then light flooded into his eyes again, and his vision quickly returned.

He stood on a yellowish-brown sand dune.
Looking out, the desert stretches endlessly, and the blazing sun in the sky is blindingly bright, as if you were in a furnace, with the ambient temperature reaching as high as 70 degrees Celsius.

[The game has officially begun—]

You have one minute to redeem the item card. The shop will close in one minute.

Level 0 Ashlands Exploration Card
Effect: Activating this card allows you to sense the sealed lands within a radius of one hundred kilometers.
Effective time: 1 hour (the card will disappear after the time expires)
Price: 1 Ember Stone】This card is very useful, after all, the area of ​​Sumeru Realm is larger than Jupiter, and it is not easy to find the Ember Sealed Land in such a place.

[Level 0 - Active Burst Position Card]
Function: Using this card will expose your location information to all players within a radius of 100,000 kilometers.

Price: 1 Emberstones

The Land of Ashes requires two players to unlock, and this card allows players who want to cooperate to quickly find each other.

[Level 0 Emberstone Multiplier Card]

Effect: For every 10 Ember Stones you absorb, you will gain an additional Ember Stone (stackable).
Effective date: Effective immediately upon purchase, expires one month later.

Price: 5 Emberstones

Huh? Five?!

"So expensive!" Xia Feng frowned. Although 5 stones were nothing compared to the final goal of 1000, they were already considered expensive at the beginning of the game.

At this price, you would need to find at least 50 Emberstones within a month to break even.

The risk lies in the fact that the difficulty of finding Emberstones is currently unknown, as are the quantities of Emberstones stored in each Emberbound Land and the duration of each game round.

Purchasing the [Ember Multiplier Card] is clearly a very high-risk endeavor.

"but."

“I like it.” Xia Feng rubbed his chin. He had already thought of a game strategy. He was already the weakest player in the game, and he had no chance of winning without taking some risks.

And
[Note: In the shop, item cards are divided into levels 0-3. Level 1 cards are revealed in the first exchange phase, and level 2 cards are revealed in the second exchange phase. Furthermore, the price of the revealed item cards will increase in each round.]

The price of item cards will increase!

This is quite interesting; the later the game goes, the more expensive the Ember Multiplier Card becomes!
With that thought in mind, Xia Feng no longer hesitated.

Let's go big!
[Consuming 21 Emberstones, you have purchased 'Emberstone Multiplier Card *4' and 'Emberland Exploration Card *1']

The initial Ember Stones are related to Life Points. Xia Feng didn't know how many other people had initial Ember Stones, but he didn't care and chose to use them all up.

Let's buy everything we can while prices are at their lowest.

[Level 0 Emberstone Multiplier Card *4]
Effect: For every 10 Ember Stones you absorb, you will gain an additional Ember Stone (stackable).
Effective date: Effective immediately upon purchase, expires one month later.

Total cost: 20 Emberstones

The more Ember Multiplier Cards you buy, the more they multiply, and the effect is exponential.

And you can break even once you collect 50 Ember Stones.

High risk, high reward.

As Xia Feng pondered, a cold, indifferent voice, indistinguishable in gender, suddenly echoed in his mind: "Found you, Black King."

"?!" Xia Feng's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

What's going on? Have I been exposed?

However, he didn't make any big moves, only slightly raising his spade mask, his black robe fluttering, as he quickly scanned the surrounding situation with his spiritual senses.

"No need to look anymore, you won't find me."

Xia Feng narrowed his dark eyes but remained silent.

"As you've probably guessed, I am the Red King."

"Now you have two choices: either cooperate with me, or I will immediately expose your identity to them."
