A sharp sound rang out immediately following the sea of fire.
The sound contained a strange power, which spread out and formed an invisible attack.
Fan Xiao raised his right hand, and the firelight, which was ten meters away and could not penetrate an inch, illuminated the rotting marks spreading on his hand—the rotting quickly spread from his palm to his arm, and then to his shoulder.
*Snap*—Fan Xiao unfurled a pair of blood-red wings.
The activated "Flesh and Blood Progenitor" psionic energy immediately stopped the spread of decay and reversed the decay on the arms and shoulders in one fell swoop.
“Mary, Valen the Messenger of the Earth, Vicky is the one playing with fire, and Roman is the one who controls corruption.”
Fan Xiao spoke very quickly: "They're all minor characters. However, their appearance together means that killing us will grant them freedom—this information has likely been leaked to all characters in the game by the game's creators."
"Minor characters...you mean we are...minor characters?"
A voice, twisted with rage, rang out.
Fan Xiao felt the corrupting force attacking him grow stronger.
This can also be considered an attack that can break through Qiqi's defenses—it allows corruption to occur directly on the target without the need for an attack process.
Unfortunately, its attack power was too weak, and it couldn't even break through the "Flesh and Blood Progenitor's" control over the body.
Ignoring the furious shouts of the corrupting Roman, Fan Xiao flew straight out amidst the massive sea of fire, heading towards the direction from which the sound came.
In less than a second, with a soft "plop," a tall, slender figure in a trench coat was torn to pieces by the little angel and scattered on the ground, lifeless.
Roman died.
He was defeated in a single encounter.
"Trash," Fan Xiao glanced at the mangled corpse and mentally judged it.
Meanwhile, Xia Li and his group, following their senses, located Valen and Vickers and successfully eliminated them.
The process went incredibly smoothly.
This made Xia Li, Lily, and Bai Xiaomao, who had just fought Cinderella a few days ago, feel quite uncomfortable.
Despite not having experienced the battle a few days prior, Beifeng appeared perfectly normal.
"So weak," the white kitten couldn't help but comment.
“They weren’t that powerful in their own works either. If they came to the real world, they probably wouldn’t even qualify for the suppression list,” Xia Li warned. “What we really need to be wary of are those characters who have been on the suppression list and whose power has been greatly weakened.”
"I didn't expect the weakest ones to be the first to come after us," Beifeng speculated. "They must just happen to be nearby."
At this point, he glanced at the player panel and continued, "It's past six o'clock, so it's evening now. From now on, it seems that other characters will also be able to obtain our real-time location information at night, just like our fan-created characters... This is troublesome!"
"Hurry up and act!" Fan Xiao reminded them. "With the key, we have a backup plan."
After saying that, he quickly moved forward.
This crisis, which was almost as severe as Cinderella's, was nothing to worry about, given the existence of the interdimensional pendant as a backup plan.
Indeed, using this pendant to hide in another world is the correct way to complete the first dungeon quest.
Otherwise, even if Cinderella is temporarily banished, players will still face certain death.
Chapter 729 The Long-Awaited Monocle
Fan Xiao's prediction came true. For the next 3 kilometers, they were attacked four times in a row and it took them nearly five minutes to reach their destination.
In the third wave of attacks, two enemies appeared who were quite strong, with combat power roughly equal to that of the player.
If Fan Xiao hadn't been there, allowing Xia Li and Lily to provide support and dispatching the little angel to quickly resolve the battle, it would have likely taken even longer.
Moreover, the crisis was not just the immediate attack. Both Bai Xiaomao and Fan Xiao vaguely sensed that the impending crisis was gradually deepening and intensifying.
A storm is about to break.
If they delay any longer, they will probably soon encounter characters from other games whose power surpasses that of the players—just like the fan-created characters that correspond to them.
Even characters stronger than fan-created characters could gather a massive number to surround them.
There was no way to avoid this kind of crisis at night—Fan Xiao tried to use "Void Wind" to hide his and his teammates' presence, but it was to no avail.
The character's ability to lock onto the player's location at night seems to be absolute.
Under these circumstances, even Fan Xiao wouldn't dare to guarantee that he could survive a night... Without being wary of the strange and unusual attack abilities of the characters in the work, he wouldn't be able to withstand the exhaustion from the battle alone.
Cross-boundary access item – an essential item for players to survive!
Fortunately, after four rounds of attacks, no new characters appeared for the time being, and they reached their destination before an even more dangerous situation arose.
This is the new hiding place for Von Smann and his two companions.
It wasn't just Fan Xiao and his group that were attacked; Feng Siman and his two companions were also caught in the crossfire.
When Fan Xiao arrived, he saw the wounded men fighting against nine characters from the story.
They joined the battle, helping Von Smann and his two companions to quickly suppress the nine opponents and end the fight.
The Cinderella characters brought into the real world, apart from player-created characters, are mostly villains, the kind you can fight without much hesitation.
These are extraordinary times, and even Lily didn't hold back much when she took action.
As a magical girl, she naturally cannot kill, but she is prepared to severely injure her opponent and then let the players finish them off.
In addition, given the recent deaths of many ordinary people in the real world at the hands of characters in the story, Lily harbors a sense of resistance and disgust towards these villains and does not indulge in her kindness.
"You...you're finally back."
After the danger was over, Feng Siman lay on the ground panting and took out a recovery potion from his storage space and drank it.
Wolf and Sharon weren't in much better shape either.
Without Fan Xiao to oversee things, other players didn't have it as easy as they imagined when dealing with the siege of the game's characters.
"We can talk about this later. Don't resist, I'll take you away from here."
After quickly giving his reminder, Fan Xiao immediately used the Transcendent Pendant without pausing for a moment.
He had made his wish the moment he arrived here—that he would not encounter Cinderella during his journey across the world.
While making his wish, he also transferred the misfortune of the past three days to Cinderella, thus indirectly reducing the chances of the risk occurring.
The next second, a faint halo enveloped the surroundings, swallowing everyone's figures.
When they regained their senses, Von Smann and the others found that the scenery in their field of vision had changed dramatically.
What comes into view is a city shrouded in night.
It was dusk just moments ago, but now it has suddenly turned into the dead of night... This sudden change left the three of them, including Feng Siman, in a state of astonishment.
Soon, the tremendous changes in their bodies and minds pulled them back from their astonishment... no, to be precise, they were plunged into an even more astonished state—the power had returned!
Physical strength, mental strength, psychic power, extraordinary genetic power... all the suppressed and weakened powers have returned to the body.
At this moment, they are truly A-level players.
Not only power, but also the right to use tools has been unsealed.
It wasn't just the three of them, including Von Smann, who were surprised.
On the other side, Xia Li suddenly extended a finger, and a pale white flame emerged from the tip of the finger.
The surrounding air expanded instantly, and immense heat spread, distorting the surrounding scenery as if space itself was swaying.
Everyone's eyes, including Fan Xiao's, instinctively turned to Xia Li—staring at the small flame in front of her fingertips.
What a terrifying thing!
Xia Li noticed the gazes of the others, and the next second she put away the flames, saying, "This is the symbol of our Zoroastrianism members—the Pale Flame, which can simultaneously penetrate into four dimensions to launch a burning attack."
"Such powerful flames..." White Cat suggested, "How about... we choose the world of the story as our battlefield? Now that we can use the items, we have a great advantage fighting in the world of the story."
“If you’re hoping I’ll use the Pale Flame against the enemy, you’re probably going to be disappointed.” Xia Li shook his head: “The amount of Pale Flame I have is too small. It won’t pose much of a threat to Cinderella in the mortal world, let alone her in the world of the story. The best battlefield is the mortal world.”
"Given the power Cinderella has demonstrated in her own works, I think... it's safer for us to choose the real world as our battlefield."
At this point, Beifeng expressed the same opinion as Xiali.
Although they have now unlocked the ability to use A-level items, Cinderella's strength is so great that even A-level items are not very effective.
Each of her ultimate moves is so powerful and overwhelming that it could easily destroy the world; there's simply no way to fight her.
With the added boost from "Infinite Power," his strength at his peak was beyond imagination.
In other words, within the realm of formation, Cinderella's power ceiling is far greater than their power ceiling on this side.
Therefore, it would be better to wage war in the present world where everyone's power is limited.
The current rules have brought everyone's stats to roughly the same level.
When everyone is powerful, the gap between them is huge.
But when both are weak, the difference is very small.
The latter has an advantage.
After hearing Beifeng's words, Bai Xiaomao subconsciously looked at Fan Xiao and asked, "Brother Fan Jin, what do you think?"
“I’m wearing glasses to see,” Fan Xiao replied.
White Cat: "..."
Only then did she notice that Fan Xiao had a monocle under his right eye, which he hadn't noticed at the time.
Fan Xiao continued, "There's no need to dwell on this. If we start a war in the world of the works, we'll definitely be the ones who suffer. So, the plan remains the same. Once the old plan stops working, we'll switch to fighting in the world of formations."
He tossed the interdimensional pendant in his hand: "Anyway, this thing is in our hands, so we always have the initiative. Why are you all agonizing over choosing a battlefield? We can choose both."
"..."
They were so overwhelmed by the surprise of the unsealing of the props that they forgot about this.
Fan Xiao then turned to look at Bei Feng, then pointed at Feng Siman and the other two, and said, "Explain the situation to them. Remember, give them the choice. Don't force them to save the world."
"no problem."
Beifeng nodded and recounted the events that had occurred to Feng Siman and the other two.
Fan Xiao then had a chance to look around and confirm some basic information—this unfamiliar city gave off a lifeless feeling.
It's not that there are no living people, but... it's too quiet around us.
There weren't many lights on.
This city... seems to have no nightlife.
Xia Li offered, "I'll go and gather some intelligence from the surrounding area."
With her ability to interfere with others' minds, gathering intelligence is a simple matter for her.
However, just as she was about to transform into her spirit form and teleport away, Fan Xiao stopped her, saying, "No need, I already know where this is."
Xia Li: "?"
The others also looked suspicious.
When...did you find out?
Subconsciously, they glanced at the monocle covering Fan Xiao's right eye.
This should be an intelligence gathering tool!
Fan Xiao didn't explain, but directly gave the answer: "Liuyan City—the name of this city. This is the world of the work that Telephone Mary is in."
He paused, then added, "The supernatural systems in this world have a limited ceiling; there is no power that can target Cinderella."
While speaking, he used the "truth transcends all" principle to investigate the doubts surrounding the true myth information—that is, who initially concealed the myth information.
The result... nothing could be found.
Although he was in the world of the story at the moment, with the interdimensional pendant, he was actually connected to the real world. The power of the item was not blocked by the barrier between the two worlds—just like Cinderella, who was in the world of the story, could still receive Fan Xiaoxiao's emergency contact.
However... no response was received when I inquired.
"The present world... has the power of the tool been extended into the past due to its resistance?"
Fan Xiao quickly deduced the answer.
To confirm, he had Xia Li and the others touch the interdimensional pendant for verification.
The result was similar to his.
