416: Chapter 415 Mutual Killing

"To be honest, don't blame me."

Long Shan took a deep breath, his Aura steadily rising as he said with some emotion, "After the attribute reset, most points were allocated to Charm. Only agility and Strength reached Limit Break, while stamina and spirit attributes are severely insufficient. Even with extra attribute points, they simply cannot be added."

"It seems now that Revelation's words were clearly a trap," Long Shan said with a sigh.

"My agility and spirit were only 60 points. After reaching 70, they could no longer be increased. It seems Revelation knew about the rule changes long ago: each Rank's basic attributes can only be increased by 10 points. We were all deceived."

"To continue adding points, I'd have to Breakthrough to Rank 11, but I have no way to Rank up right now. I have no choice but to take from you all; otherwise, I'll die here too."

Hearing Long Shan's words, the six people were all stunned, unable to believe their ears, before they began to curse furiously.

"You son of a bitch, Long Shan! We only reset our attributes because we listened to you. You had bad intentions all along!"

"Long Shan, you'll die a horrible death!"

"Even as a ghost, I won't let you off!"

Hearing their curses, Long Shan didn't care at all. Instead, he seemed to enjoy it immensely, a sinister smile appearing on his face.

"You people were just my containers to begin with. Why else would I have gone through the trouble of protecting you? Did you really think I was some kind of good person?"

The six didn't speak. Their bodies rapidly shriveled up as white mist continuously drifted out of them, entering Long Shan's mouth and nose.

Exhaling a long breath, Long Shan chuckled. "That's about right. Although spirit and stamina didn't reach Limit Break as I'd hoped, they've both recovered to 100 points. agility increased by another 3 points, reaching 120, and especially the Strength attribute—it actually surged by 5 points, reaching 135."

Long Shan gave them a thumbs-up. "Your contribution value is truly worthy of recognition!"

"You... will die a horrible death..."

"I curse you... you will surely die in this mission..."

The six were on the verge of death, slumped on the steps. Their already shriveled bodies, now under the pressure of gravity, could no longer resist, and blood began to seep from every part of them.

Seeing this scene, Chu Xuan's gaze darkened slightly.

Long Shan's methods were truly ruthless and sinister, having long since treated his teammates as experience packs for his own Limit Break attribute increases.

If it weren't for believing Revelation's words and this mountain-climbing stage, he might have been able to improve even more with a bit more time.

It seemed there were many other ways to achieve Limit Break for basic attributes.

At the same time, Chu Xuan felt even more that the barbarian soul fruits and high-grade life essence were extremely precious.

No need for excessive trouble or schemes; as long as one could endure the drunkenness and pain, they could just eat and drink.

At this moment, Long Shan stopped looking at the six. His eyes, filled with danger, stared at Chu Xuan as he slowly approached from below. He said coldly, "You'd better die here, or I'll definitely make you wish you were dead!"

"Wish you were dead?" Chu Xuan's gaze was calm as he gave a faint smile. "Fine, it's a deal then. I'll grant your wish and make you wish you were dead."

Long Shan's eyes narrowed slightly. He gave a cold, threatening snort, then turned and strode up the stairs without looking back.

Watching his receding back, Chu Xuan's expression remained normal. He continued to drink and eat barbarian soul fruits, using the increasing gravity from the climb and the special sense of palpitations from the black fog behind him to continue improving his four basic attributes.

Although the effect was getting weaker, Chu Xuan wasn't worried at all since he had enough Heaven And Earth Treasures. He leisurely ascended the winding mountain stairs.

As he passed a corner, he saw Li Na and the Double Cannon Brothers climbing with difficulty, leaving a long trail of blood behind them.

"Why can't I add more points? I clearly still have over a hundred attribute points! Why can't I add them?!" Li Na, further up, was gritting her teeth and screaming.

"Li Na, the rules must have changed after the countdown ended. All our basic attributes have been fixed. At each Rank, we can only increase them by a maximum of 10 points!"

"We were all tricked by Revelation!"

The Double Cannon Brothers gritted their teeth and growled, "Compared to our Rank, our stamina attribute is far too weak. It's currently under 80 points, and we can't increase it further. We have no way to handle this Mountain Road!"

"agility and spirit attributes are also important on this path. We're all Rank 10, so we probably need at least 95 points in each to pass smoothly, or maybe even higher..."

"If we keep dragging this out, all three of us will die here!"

"Li Na, live well!"

The two brothers looked at each other as if they had made a decision. They both let out a low growl, and their arms swelled up once more.

Then, they pinned Li Na down beneath them.

"You guys... don't!"

Li Na's eyes were red, but she was pinned down and couldn't move.

Blood continuously dripped from the wrists of the Double Cannon Brothers into Li Na's mouth.

Li Na struggled with all her might, but it was in vain.

Suddenly, Li Na glanced down and saw Chu Xuan, who was holding the greed tank, drinking with his head back as he climbed up.

"You actually managed to come up?"

"What are you drinking?"

"That stuff should help with the climb, right? Were those Night Watchers who passed by earlier drinking this too? Give us some, please..."

Li Na's eyes were filled with tears, full of pleading.
