674: Chapter 672 Desert Gray City, A Game of Cops and Robbers

In the chaotic and bloody battlefield of yellow sand, five Martial Artists of the Shengyuan Realm suspended high in the air, along with four weird entities of the Shendao Sect stepping on giant beetle monsters, were each using their own methods, preparing to surround and kill Chu Xuan at the very first moment.

But as that red-and-blue intertwined card abruptly appeared, amidst everyone's astonishment, a sudden sense of ominousness surged into their hearts.

"The game... begins!"

As these four words left his mouth, the entire yellow sand battlefield suddenly shook, as if the pause button had been pressed, and even the rolling and sweeping yellow sand stopped mid-air.

An invisible ripple centered around Chu Xuan instantly spread in all directions, spanning ten thousand meters, completely shrouding everyone present.

The next instant, the world spun!

When people came back to their senses, they shockingly discovered that the yellow sand storm that had blocked the sky had thinned out a lot, but replacing it was a nearly hundred-meter-tall city of yellow sand rising from the ground.

Not only that, but the people who were originally fighting each other had also all dispersed, located in every corner of this city of yellow sand.

"What happened?"

"What is this place?"

"Why can't my body move?"

Whether it was the Martial Artist army of the Heavenly Dao Alliance or the allied Martial Artist army led by the Four Sects, all of them were incomparably terrified.

Especially Minge, who suddenly discovered that she did not know when she had already found herself on a yellow sand high platform that was only about three zhang in radius and exuded a faint blue light.

The giant beetle monster under her feet was gone, and her three companions by her side were also gone.

Replacing them were three white-haired Grand Elders of the Cangyun Sect adjacent to her, standing together on this yellow sand high platform of about three zhang in radius.

For lives of their Rank, this distance of a little over a zhang was almost no different from being face-to-face, and they could launch an attack at any time.

While Minge was shocked, her expression was even more incomparably gloomy.

Looking around, not far away stood four other high platforms that also exuded a faint blue light, but there were no figures on them.

Minge looked down toward the bottom of the high platform, where tens of thousands of Martial Artists were looking around in bewilderment, their faces full of terror and confusion.

Looking closely, these numerous Martial Artists below included both the members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance wearing yellow turbans and the allied Martial Artist army of the Four Great Sects with blue cloth strips tied to their sleeves.

No one knew what had actually happened.

"This must be the trick of that Chu Xuan!"

Swollen all over his face and looking like a Pig-headed Man, the Second Elder's chest heaved as he spoke extremely irritably.

"That should be it..." The Grand Elder said with narrowed eyes:

"People from that Small World have quite a few peculiarities. I just saw that under our encirclement, not only did Chu Xuan not show the slightest bit of fear, but he also took out a strange square piece of an object. Presumably, everything before us is related to that square object."

"It's just that I don't know where Sect Master Qingcheng and Sect Leader Zhihua, as well as..." The Third Elder was an old woman, but her appearance did not show signs of aging and decay; instead, her skin was rosy and delicate like a baby's.

As she spoke, she paused slightly, glanced at Minge not far away, and continued in her usual tone: "Where those three from the Shendao Sect have gone is unknown."

Just as everyone was discussing animatedly and at a loss, large characters composed of yellow-gray dust abruptly emerged in the sky.

At the same time, a mechanical and cold voice accompanied it, echoing in every corner of this city of yellow sand.

[2. All sounds and breaths outside the field of vision cannot be perceived.]

[(Special Tip: If one forcibly breaks through the boundary, there will be a possibility of losing a large amount of health points, and there is a certain probability of clearing all health points.)]

[After detection, a total of 58,691 players are participating in this game... The players have been randomly divided into two factions: "Police" and "Bandits".]

[(Special Tip: Under the designer's intervention, individual players' identities are not random.)]

[1. This game has no restrictive conditions on players' basic attributes, related skills, health points, etc., and they can freely display their own combat power.]

[2. The Bandit faction is additionally endowed with a Concealment skill. When in a stationary state, it can conceal one's form, Qi, and the sound emitted; when in a dynamic state, the effect will be slightly weakened; when in a combat state, one will break away from the Concealment state.]

[(Note: This Concealment skill is endowed with rules in this game and takes effect mandatorily.)]
