73: Resurrection point sneak attack

In Path of Exile, every Professionals cannot see others' points, only their own current points.

However, outside, the points on the stone tablet are updated in real-time.

Therefore, at first, when Ye Xiao's points were far ahead, Zhao Changlin and others' expressions darkened again.

But, as time passed.

Soon, everyone noticed that Night Shadow's points had inexplicably stalled.

Instead, Zhao Peng's speed of acquiring points was getting faster and faster.

In a short while, he completely surpassed Night Shadow, becoming the current leader on the points leaderboard.

Immediately after, Lin Yong and Wang Cheng and others also followed closely.

Night Shadow, who had been in first place for a full day, suddenly dropped out of the top ten.

Seeing such results, a smile finally appeared on Zhao Changlin's face.

“It seems that Night Shadow's methods are limited to dealing with monsters; once he enters a real battle, he clearly lacks staying power.”

Zhao Mo, who was standing by, also laughed with a relaxed expression, echoing, “If that's the case, as long as Zhao Peng and the others find an opportunity, this Night Shadow will never leave Path of Exile alive.”

At this moment, Zhao Changlin, hearing these words, finally had the thorn that had been in his heart completely removed, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily.

However, at the Bai Family's encampment not far away.

At this moment, Bai Shanhe's mood was extremely anxious.

He no longer cared about Night Shadow's matter.

Because he discovered that a considerable amount of time had passed since the second phase of Path of Exile began.

But he still hadn't found Bai Xiaoxiao's name on the stone tablet.

The stone tablet only displayed the top one thousand names.

This meant that Bai Xiaoxiao was far behind everyone else.

But according to Bai Xiaoxiao's strength, this was simply impossible.

This made Bai Shanhe very worried.

Bai Xiaoxiao was the Bai Family's only SSS-grade Talent awakeness in decades.

And the Talent and intelligence Bai Xiaoxiao had displayed during this period had greatly surprised Bai Shanhe.

Bai Shanhe had paid a huge price to cultivate her, and for this, he had already decided that after this Path of Exile, he would let Bai Xiaoxiao enter the Bai Family's Elder Council and become an Elder.

That way, Bai Xiaoxiao would become a true core member of the Bai Family.

Of course, the prerequisite was that Bai Xiaoxiao must sign a Creation Contract.

Bai Shanhe wasn't afraid of Bai Xiaoxiao betraying the Bai Family or anything like that, but rather worried that as a collateral relative, if left unchecked, she might eventually usurp power and control the Bai Family.

This was something Bai Shanhe absolutely would not allow to happen.

“Xiao Xiao, what on earth are you doing in there?” Bai Shanhe looked at the stone tablet, muttering to himself.

Within the Exile Maze.

As time passed, more and more Rookies were killed, and their points reset to zero.

Now, most of the points were concentrated in the hands of a few individuals.

At the same time, after a series of raids and maneuvers.

Ye Xiao finally successfully found a resurrection point.

It must be said, this resurrection point was ridiculously large.

Looking out, there were dense crowds of people, and no end in sight.

However, this was also normal.

Most ordinary Rookies entered Path of Exile just for the triple experience.

They had self-awareness, knowing that with their unremarkable strength.

It was impossible to achieve any results in the second phase.

Blindly competing for points would only cause their level to drop even more.

Therefore, most of these people, after being killed, would idle at the resurrection point and had no intention of leaving.

However, the resurrection point was not a safe zone.

It was still possible to be killed by others.

In the past, there were also some lunatics who tried it.

However, the ultimate result was being jointly killed by these idling Rookies.

After all, I can give you points, but there's only one life.

Of course, most people, seeing that their wrists no longer had point bracelets, naturally wouldn't abuse and kill them for no reason.

So, after decades of development, everyone tacitly agreed to this rule.

At this moment, Ye Xiao had just arrived at the resurrection point.

He was recognized by the Rookies who were lying flat at the resurrection point.

“Look, it's Night Shadow!”

“Ah! It really is him, he's so handsome!”

“What is Big Boss Night Shadow doing at the resurrection point?”

“Haha! I know! He must have been chased by Zhao Peng and the others until he had nowhere to go, so he wants to hide among us?”

“That won't work, there are so many people here, it's impossible to hide.”

“I guess Night Shadow was also forced into a corner and decided to try a desperate measure.”

“Tsk tsk! He was so arrogant at the entrance earlier, I thought he really had some ability, but now it seems he was just bluffing.”

“Sigh! The Zhao Family is too overbearing, it's too difficult for us ordinary people to stand out.”

“Pfft! He's just stubborn; the Eight Great Families extended olive branches, but he ignored them, he deserves this outcome.”

“You've been kneeling for so long you can't stand up, have you?”

“Who the hell are you talking about?”

“I'm talking about you, what's it to you? I'm a Level 46 warrior, come fight if you dare.”

“Bah! Is Level 46 a big deal? I won't stoop to your level.”

...The noisy sounds entered Ye Xiao's ears, but he didn't care.

At this moment, he had already informed Bai Xiaoxiao of his location at the resurrection point.

Since they “connected” earlier, Ye Xiao and Bai Xiaoxiao had been exchanging information closely.

Naturally, Ye Xiao also knew Zhao Peng and the others' entire plan.

Clearly, everyone understood.

Leaving Path of Exile, the chance for the Eight Great Families to catch Ye Xiao again would be extremely slim.

Unless Ye Xiao actively appeared himself.

Therefore, the Eight Great Families wanted to kill him down to Level 0, and then completely eliminate him.

It was indeed as he had previously guessed.

Of course, even if it wasn't for this reason.

These favored children of heaven would also try to kill him a few more times if they had the chance.

This would also slow down Ye Xiao's leveling speed, making him completely lose the chance to compete for the Rookie King title.

Don't expect these favored children of heaven to abide by the default rules of the resurrection point.

That only applied to ordinary Professionals who posed no threat to them.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao had already successfully met up with Zhao Peng and the others.

Presumably, Zhao Peng and the others would come looking for him after receiving the information.

In fact, Ye Xiao didn't even need to tell Bai Xiaoxiao himself.

There were so many people at the resurrection point, and there were quite a few who wanted to curry favor with the Zhao Family.

The moment he appeared just now.

He keenly noticed many people bowing their heads, seemingly reporting information.

Ye Xiao didn't stop them.

All he had to do next was wait.

However, some people always failed to recognize reality.

Just like this.

When Ye Xiao appeared here.

Among the crowd, a small portion of people's minds began to stir.

Zhao Peng had previously declared he would deal with Night Shadow.

They had heard it clearly.

Now, they had finally encountered Night Shadow, and he was alone.

These people whispered and conspired among themselves.

Immediately, they moved out of the crowd with tacit cooperation.

At this moment, Ye Xiao still stood “blankly” outside.

He seemed to have not noticed their actions.

Soon, dozens of figures suddenly darted out from the crowd.

With lightning speed, amidst the astonished gazes of countless people, they launched a sneak attack on Night Shadow.

These people cooperated quite well.

In the blink of an eye, countless skills rained down on Ye Xiao.

At the same time, they saw that Ye Xiao hadn't reacted, still standing there dumbfounded.

Countless skills hit Ye Xiao, causing booming explosions.

All these people's faces showed ecstatic expressions.

“Haha! The number one Rookie, nothing more than this!”

“Kill him, maybe I can enter the Dragon Abyss Legion's reserve camp.”

...However, just as these people were ecstatic in their hearts.

Hundreds of fireballs appeared out of thin air.

Their speed was so fast that they could barely see them.

The next moment, a sky full of sparks illuminated this space.

The scorching temperature instantly melted these attackers completely.

At the same time, Ye Xiao's figure reappeared before everyone.

A faint shield on his body glowed subtly.

This scene immediately left all the Rookies dumbfounded.

They had seen it clearly.

There were no less than fifty people who attacked just now.

However, not only was Ye Xiao unharmed, but he also instantly annihilated all the attackers with a raise of his hand.

Among them, some unlucky ones, due to being too close, were affected and also resurrected once again.

Ye Xiao's astonishing thunderous display of power instantly made the entire resurrection point eerily quiet.

Ye Xiao ignored this.

His gaze constantly searched the crowd for the people who had just attacked.

But unfortunately.

There were simply too many people here.

Although that group of people was still in shock at this moment.

They weren't so irrational as to run out again.

This made Ye Xiao's eyebrows involuntarily twitch.

He couldn't possibly kill all tens of thousands of people in front of him just for that group of clowns, could he?

But even that would only make those people drop levels.

Unless he killed everyone down to Level 0.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Xiao finally shook his head and chose not to act.

Firstly, doing so would waste too much time and effort.

Secondly, he had a plan coming up that required these people.

If he killed them all, where would he complete his plan?

And just as Ye Xiao was pondering.

In the crowd, a team of ten Professionals suddenly, seemingly emboldened, walked out of the resurrection point.

The others behind them all looked at this team in astonishment.

They didn't understand what they were going to do.

The combat power Ye Xiao had just displayed had already exceeded their understanding.

At this moment, were they still going to attack? What was the difference between that and seeking death?
