Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

Xu Hao clearly remembered that not long ago, in the Demon Sealing Hall at the deepest part of the Demon Sealing Valley, he encountered the Black Prison's Good Fortune Boy.

That time, Black Prison was clearly under Thursday's control, becoming neither human nor ghost, and quite troublesome.

I finally managed to kill him after a lot of effort. I thought that at most, he would just flash a white light and respawn at the respawn point. I could just kill him every time I saw him in the future.

The results of it?

The gang leader lay down, but instead of turning into white light and returning to the respawn point as is usually expected, he truly died there, leaving behind a cold corpse.

Of course, this murderer is Thursday by any measure, and it seems to possess some kind of power that distorts or isolates the basic rules of the Fama continent.

So what about here? What if that guy pulls that trick again?

Forced teleportation, controlled refresh—is this the only tricks Thursday can pull off?

You think you can stop us with this? No way! If once doesn't work, we'll try again! A third time!

Only, only truly killing us, like in the Black Prison.

That's the real solution!

If...if the rule that players cannot be resurrected after death also applies here...

Luo Ming's bold statement just now, "I'll die once and go back to town to resupply," was no longer a temporary sacrifice, but... a real, irreversible death!

The thought sent a chill down Xu Hao's spine, a cold sensation shooting from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He abruptly looked up, his sharp gaze quickly scanning the slightly relaxed crowd as they prepared to enter the next level. He swiftly locked onto Qiao Xi, who was standing by the entrance, using her last bit of magic to cast "Poisoning" to slow down the pursuers while anxiously calling out to the rearguard. "Qiao Xi!" Xu Hao strode to her side, lowering his voice, but the urgency and fear in his tone were unmistakable.

"Wait! I just remembered something, it's very important!"

Qiao Xi was gesturing for the last soldier to quickly enter the cave when Xu Hao suddenly grabbed his arm. Seeing Xu Hao's unusually serious and even slightly pale face, Qiao Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped moving. "What's wrong? What happened?"

She frowned and asked, her gaze sweeping over the monsters that were still surging in behind Xu Hao.

"It's Luo Ming!" Xu Hao spoke very quickly, his voice trembling slightly with nervousness. He quickly told Qiao Xi about his encounter with Black Prison.

"After Black Prison died, he didn't return to the city to resurrect! His body remained in place! What if... I mean, what if the resurrection mechanism here was also changed by Thursday? What about Luo Ming..."

Xu Hao's words struck Qiao Xi like a thunderbolt.

The color drained from her face in an instant, and her eyes, which always shone with a calm light, suddenly widened, her pupils contracting in extreme shock.

She instinctively turned her head sharply, looking into the depths of the passage they had just broken out of, now completely engulfed by countless monster figures. There was only a chaotic shadow and the faint echo of Luo Ming's last roar, but the resolute figure carrying the Staff of Judgment was nowhere to be seen.

“罗鸣……”

She instantly understood the full meaning of Xu Hao's unspoken words. This wasn't just unfounded worry; it was a terrifying deduction based on her own bloody experience, a deduction that was highly likely to come true!

If this place is truly a forbidden zone, like the Demon Sealing Hall, where the rules of resurrection are severed, then their agreement to let Luo Ming cover the rear was tantamount to... personally sending their own brothers to a true dead end!

An unprecedented sense of horror and chilling fear gripped her heart like an invisible giant hand, making it difficult for her to even breathe for a moment.

"Luo Ming..." The two words were squeezed out of Qiao Xi's throat, accompanied by an incredulous tremor and icy fear.

That usually calm and composed face was now completely drained of color, as pale as paper. Almost instinctively, she jerked her hand away from Xu Hao's, her body tensing instantly. A chilling killing intent mixed with despair made her like a cheetah about to pounce on its prey, turning to rush back into the passage that had been completely engulfed by monsters!

"No! I have to go back and save him!" Her voice was sharp, with a hint of hysteria.

"Qiao Xi! Are you crazy!" Xu Hao reacted quickly, grabbing her arm tightly again, this time with even more force, almost pulling her back completely.

His tall figure stood like a wall, firmly blocking her from the shadow of death. No matter how much Qiao Xi struggled, even when she struck his chest with her elbow, he remained unmoved.

"What can you do if you go back now?! Go to your death?!"

"If you go and it really can't be resurrected, can't we just sacrifice one more person?!"

Xu Hao growled, his voice hoarse with rage. Looking into Qiao Xi's eyes, which seemed to spit fire, he said, enunciating each word clearly:

"We fought our way out with great difficulty! Look how many brothers are still behind us! You're the commander! You can't go back and die in vain!"

His words were like a bucket of ice water, poured over Qiao Xi's almost burning rationality.

Her struggling movements paused, and her gaze went past Xu Hao's shoulder to see her teammates behind her, who were equally exhausted, their eyes filled with surprise and reliance. She saw the entrance to the next level, which was so close at hand and symbolized temporary safety.

Yes, she's the captain, she can't...

Xu Hao sensed her strength weaken slightly and immediately pressed his advantage, his tone softening but becoming even more urgent: "Sis! Listen to me! Now is not the time to act rashly! Luo Ming's situation is unclear, and even if there's still hope, it's not something you can solve by rushing back now!"

"You take everyone down there first and find a safe place to hold your position! I'll go!"

He pointed to himself, his eyes sharp and determined. "You forgot? When it comes to being slippery and finding loopholes, no one here is better than me!"

I'm a smaller target, faster, and with Shadow Step and a teleportation ring on my back, it'll be easier for me to sneak back and find Luo Ming, or at least scout out the situation! If... if things really don't work out, it'll be easier for me to escape!

At worst, I'll assess the situation and then signal for everyone to evacuate. We can then discuss the rest further!

Qiao Xi was breathing heavily, her chest heaving from the excitement she had just felt and the emotions she was now forcibly suppressing. She stared intently at Xu Hao, at the unwavering resolve on his face, and at the cunning and confidence unique to him in his eyes.

Yes, Xu Hao is right. In terms of individual combat and survivability, this seemingly young soldier far surpasses anyone else in the team. Sending him is indeed the least risky and most likely to succeed option at present.

The panic and guilt that almost consumed her were forcibly suppressed, replaced by an almost cruel calmness.

She was a decisive person, and she knew that hesitation at this moment would only lead to more disasters. Qiao Xi took a deep breath, the breath feeling as if it carried icy shards, chilling her to the bone. She stopped struggling and instead reached out her other hand, tightly and forcefully gripping Xu Hao's wrist that was holding her back, her knuckles turning white from the force.

“Okay…” Her voice was still a little hoarse, but it had regained its usual composure. “Xu Hao, you go! Be careful!” She raised her head, her bright eyes now like cold stars tempered by fire, staring straight into Xu Hao’s eyes.

"Remember, no matter what, bring Luo Ming back! If it doesn't work this time, we'll wait for another chance! As long as we're still here, there will always be a chance! I don't care what method you use, bring him back!"

The last few words were practically spat out from between his teeth.
