85: Chapter 85 This is the charm of numerical monsters

Echo Gobi, filled with the smoke of battle.

Yan Zidong lay on the gravel-covered ground like a dead dog, his entire body covered in dense sword marks, fresh blood staining his magic robes.

His eyes were hollow, staring up at the grey sky, as if his soul had been drained.

"Croak——!!!"

Just then, the Echo Frog, which had been attacking but hadn't hit anyone, seemed to feel slighted.

It angrily puffed up its cheeks, and a visible white high-frequency sound wave, carrying enough kinetic energy to shatter rocks, blasted fiercely toward the immobile Yan Zidong!

"Am I going to die..."

Yan Zidong watched the approaching deathly sound wave, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

The successive setbacks made Yan Zidong feel incredibly depressed.

The damage Su Xiaoxiao had caused him was actually just superficial.

With his strength, even in his current state, he could still dodge this blow by gritting his teeth.

However, Yan Zidong just lay there on the ground.

Without any reaction, not even an attempt to raise his hand in defense.

In his view, the moment Su Xiaoxiao defeated him, Yan Zidong felt he no longer had any reason to exist in this world.

So, he slowly closed his eyes, waiting for death to arrive.

However, the expected intense pain did not come.

"Zzzzt——!"

A very faint sound of electricity rang in his ears.

The next second, Yan Zidong felt his body lighten, and he was instantly pulled away from the spot by an irresistible force.

"Boom!!!"

The sound wave smashed hard into the place where he had just been lying, blasting the rocks there into powder.

Dozens of meters away, behind a huge sheltered rock, Yan Zidong was gently set down.

He opened his eyes suddenly, looking in shock at the blue-haired girl bathed in lightning and frost before him.

"You..."

Yan Zidong's voice was hoarse and dry, full of disbelief: "It's you?"

In that battle just now, he had tried his best to defeat Su Xiaoxiao, even going so far as to say those arrogant words.

As a result, just when he was defeated and wanted to die in despair, Su Xiaoxiao not only didn't kick him while he was down, but actually... saved him personally?

Yan Zidong was a bit surprised, a bit confused: "Xiao Xiao, why did you save me?"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't look at him, but just turned around, her long dark blue hair dancing in the wind.

"No reason."

Her voice was still cold, but it lacked some of the previous murderous intent, and held a hint of imperceptible complexity: "Probably because... we used to be teammates."

After speaking, the magic staff in her hand lit up again: "You go, find a place to hide until the game ends. Leave this... to me."

As she finished speaking, "Whoosh!"

Purple Lightning flashed, Su Xiaoxiao's figure disappeared again, instantly returning to the center of the battlefield, facing the violent giant frog.

Yan Zidong struggled to support his broken body, leaning against the rock.

He looked at that figure, as dazzling as a Valkyrie on the battlefield.

He turned his head again and looked at Chen Xi not far away, who had just finished cleaning up the Shenfeng Battle Team and was walking over with a calm expression.

At that moment, all the unwillingness, jealousy, and arrogance in Yan Zidong's heart seemed to vanish with that current.

Replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness, and a trace of... unprecedented longing.

"So... this is a truly strong team."

Yan Zidong laughed at himself, his eyes fixed on Chen Xi's back.

A thought suddenly popped into his mind that he couldn't have imagined before.

"I wonder... does Nirvana Battle Team accept a loser like me..."

On the other side, Chen Xi had just finished dealing with Lin Feng and those four ungrateful wretches like trash.

Li Murou stood by, her little mouth open in an 'O' shape, and didn't close it for a long time.

It wasn't until Chen Xi walked in front of her that she suddenly reacted, almost jumping up with excitement:

"Wow! Captain Chen! You are too awesome!"

"You actually... took them out in a few moves?!"

"Especially that last kick, it was too cool!"

Chen Xi smiled and said nothing.

For him, cleaning up a few pieces of trash who had been stripped of their core cards was no different from stepping on a few ants.

Although destroying the core cards would correspondingly reduce the attribute bonuses these people brought to him.

But these people didn't have high attribute caps to begin with.

They just barely raised their attributes by relying on the core cards he gave them.

Even if he destroyed their core cards right now, his panel attributes wouldn't drop much.

On the contrary, relying on the attribute value bonuses brought by Li Murou and Su Xiaoxiao, he currently had no attack skills.

But he just relied on stacking attributes to create an extremely powerful panel!

This is the charm of a numerical monster.

So, for Chen Xi, dealing with these four ungrateful wretches was never a problem.

The hard part was, in what kind of situation to deal with them to achieve the most soul-crushing result.

Chen Xi was quite satisfied with the current result.

However, the challenge tournament was not over yet, and there was one important thing left to do.

He lifted his wrist and checked the time.

"Don't be too happy, there isn't much time left."

Chen Xi frowned slightly.

In order to deal with Zhou Tianren and the Shenfeng crowd, they had wasted too much time in the dungeon.

At this time, there were only 30 minutes left until the end of the Freshman Challenge Tournament.

He glanced at the leaderboard.

After plundering 400 points from the Shenfeng Battle Team, the Nirvana Battle Team's ranking had shot straight to third.

However, the 【Five Rings Team】 in first place had already reached a terrifying 2000 points!

A full five-fold gap!

"These Five Rings... are a bit awesome."

Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh.

These five brothers were not only strong, but their efficiency in farming monsters was also outrageous.

If he didn't kill this BOSS, even if he cleared all the remaining mobs, he would definitely not be able to close this 1600-point gap.

"Fortunately, I just grabbed 400 points from those money-sending boys, Lin Feng and his group."

Chen Xi calculated secretly: "The base points for a Nightmare-level BOSS are 2000 points. As long as we take down the Echo Frog, our total score can reach 2400 points, just enough to overtake the Five Rings Team!"

"But the premise is... we must finish the battle within 30 minutes!"

Thinking of this, Chen Xi no longer hesitated.

He turned his head sharply and shouted at Su Xiaoxiao, who was hovering above the Echo Pool:

"Xiao Xiao! Speed it up!"

"There are only 30 minutes left in the game! You must knock this frog down before then!"

In mid-air, Su Xiaoxiao heard the command and turned her head slightly.

At this moment, she was surrounded by the power of ice and lightning, like a god descending to earth.

A flash of confident brilliance passed through her blue eyes, and she nodded at Chen Xi:

"Don't worry."

"Enough."

After speaking, Su Xiaoxiao turned around sharply, facing the still-roaring Echo Frog, and raised her magic staff high, pointing straight at the sky!

Huge magic power gathered crazily behind her, and a white magic circle unfolded in the void with a bang!

"Sovereign Judgment... Sword of Apocalypse!!!"
