59: Chapter 59 will let you experience the thrill of exceeding the speed of sound.

In the Echo Gobi.

Chen Xi led the two girls quickly through the dungeon while observing the surrounding terrain.

Before long, a peculiar sight appeared ahead.

It was an extremely long and narrow canyon, looking like a crack split into the earth by a giant axe.

On both sides of the canyon were towering rock walls as smooth as mirrors, and while the passage in the middle was very long, it was outrageously narrow, with a width barely enough for three people to stand side-by-side, leaving no extra space.

"This is the place."

Chen Xi stopped and scanned the smooth rock walls, lost in thought.

Given the special rock material of the Echo Gobi that could reflect sound waves, combined with this narrow and enclosed 'Thin Strip of Sky' terrain...

If Li Murou were to release a burst of zither music here...

The sound waves would surge back and forth between the two rock walls, reflecting and overlapping countless times.

Even if the Gobi's reflection effect caused some energy attenuation, it would eventually form a sound wave killing field with no blind spots, completely covering both sides of the entire canyon!

In this canyon, no one could escape the baptism of the sound waves.

"This terrain is great..."

The corners of Chen Xi's mouth curled up unconsciously, revealing a confident smile.

He turned around, pointed at the deep canyon, and said to the two girls:

"Come on, let's enter the canyon."

"Huh? Go in there?"

Li Murou glanced at the cramped environment and shrunk her neck in surprise:

"Cap... Captain Chen, did you forget? The rocks in this Gobi will reflect my sound waves!"

She pointed at the smooth stone walls on both sides and said worriedly:

"These walls are so narrow. If I play the zither here, the sound waves will definitely bounce around in a mess. At that time, never mind the enemies, what if we hit our own people? Wouldn't that be suicide?"

"Don't worry. Since I dared to choose this place, I naturally have a way."

Chen Xi turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao, who had remained silent:

"Xiao Xiao, I'll be counting on you in a moment."

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the terrain and instantly understood Chen Xi's intention.

At this moment, violent powers of ice and thunder were continuously gushing from her body.

"No problem."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded confidently, and the magic staff in her hand glowed slightly with purple lightning.

Li Murou looked at the two of them speaking in riddles with curiosity, her large eyes blinking:

"What on earth are you two talking about?"

Chen Xi leaned close to her ear and said mysteriously:

"In a moment, I'll let you experience the pleasure of exceeding the speed of sound."

"Exceeding the speed of sound??"

Li Murou was even more bewildered.

However, just as Chen Xi finished speaking, and before Li Murou could ask for clarification.

A voice full of mockery suddenly came from the front of the canyon:

"Yo, isn't this our Great Captain Chen?"

"Now that you're in the challenge tournament, instead of farming monsters for points, what are you doing squatting in this godforsaken little canyon with two beauties?"

Chen Xi's eyes narrowed as he slowly turned around.

He saw a large crowd of people had appeared at the front entrance of the canyon at some point.

Leading them was Zhou Tianren, his face full of arrogance.

He brought several burly men from the Royal Squad, forming a human wall that tightly blocked one end of the canyon.

Behind him, Lin Ya led the members of the Purple Lightning Battle Team, their magic staves already poised and ready, arcs of electricity crackling.

"They're here... quite fast too."

Chen Xi sneered, showing no sign of surprise on his face.

He didn't even look directly at Zhou Tianren, but instead turned his head unhurriedly to look at the other end of the canyon.

As expected.

The rear exit of the canyon was also tightly blocked at this time.

Zhao Zixuan of the Holy Light Battle Team adjusted his glasses and stood there with a sinister smile.

Beside him was Lei Zhen, the captain of Tidal Surge, who was already unable to contain his rage and was carrying his door-sized greatsword.

"Heh! Chen Xi!"

The moment Lei Zhen saw Chen Xi, his eyes instantly turned blood-red.

He brandished the greatsword in his hand high, his roar like thunder:

"I said it before! The next time we meet, I'll definitely smash you into a meatball!"

"Let's see where you run this time! This canyon is the coffin I've chosen for you!"

Facing the two allied armies attacking from both front and back, Chen Xi showed no fear.

A bright and confident smile appeared on his face.

"Everyone's here."

Chen Xi clapped his hands, his gaze sweeping across the two groups before finally landing on Zhou Tianren in front, his tone carrying undisguised mockery:

"You arrived just in time, saves me the trouble of finding you one by one."

"I'll give you one last chance."

Chen Xi extended a finger and shook it gently:

"Now, get lost on your own, and you can still keep some dignity."

"Ha?!"

"What... are you saying?"

Zhou Tianren acted as if he had heard the world's biggest joke, the corners of his mouth curling up in blatant ridicule, his expression incredibly mocking:

"Hahahaha! You're killing me! Chen Xi, have you been scared stupid?"

"Death is at your doorstep, and you're still here putting on an act with me?"

Zhou Tianren abruptly stopped laughing, his face instantly becoming extremely hideous:

"Do you know how much effort I spent and how many connections I used just to intercept you?!"

"This is the Echo Gobi! It's the burial ground specifically chosen for you!"

He pointed at Li Murou, his eyes poisonous:

"In this map, that zither-playing chick on your team is completely useless! If she dares to play a single note, the reflected sound waves will shake you to death first!"

"Without control, what are you going to rely on? You, the useless support? Or my beloved Goddess Xiao Xiao?"

Zhou Tianren's gaze swept greedily over Su Xiaoxiao's body as he licked his lips:

"Although Xiao Xiao is strong and has an S-rank class, she is just a mage after all! in this narrow place, there's no way she can take on twenty of us by herself, right!?"

"If you know what's good for you, hand over Xiao Xiao and kneel down to give me three kowtows. This young master might even let you die a bit more painlessly!"

Hearing these remarks, Su Xiaoxiao, who had been maintaining a cold face, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

A trace of extreme disgust flashed through those ice-blue eyes, and lightning exploded on the magic staff in her hand.

Su Xiaoxiao took a step forward and coldly spat out a single word:

"Scram."

A simple word, yet it was like a bucket of ice water being poured ruthlessly onto Zhou Tianren's feverish face.

To be rebuked so mercilessly by the woman he was pursuing in front of so many people.

Zhou Tianren's face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and his already unattractive features became completely distorted with rage.

"Dammit! You ungrateful bitch!"

Humiliated and enraged, Zhou Tianren swung the large saber in his hand forward and roared hysterically:

"Attack!!"

"Beat that Chen Xi to death for me!!"

"Except for Xiao Xiao, I don't care if the other two live or die!!"
