But we still encountered an enemy half way forward. And they were in mixed groups.

A player in the Immortal Sword Tribulation appeared out of nowhere and pointed directly at Wang Xuanjun.

Li Xiaopeng, who was looking into the distance, didn't react immediately. When he switched the sight to his teammates, the other party was already too close. It was too easy to accidentally injure someone in the distance when shooting from such a distance.

Seeing that Wang Xuanjun was about to be pierced by a sharp sword, one of the fat followers actually quickly blocked Wang Xuanjun and took the sword for him.

Upon seeing this, Wang Xuanjun immediately took out his rifle, pointed it at the attacker, and fired fiercely.

Due to the fat henchman's armor, it was difficult for the opponent to pull out his sword for a while, and he almost took all the bullets fired by Wang Xuanjun.

Just like this, I was lucky enough to do a 1-for-1 exchange.

"Hey, brother, what are you doing!" Wang Xuanjun shouted worriedly.

"It's okay, brother, try your best to get a good ranking." As he said this, he disappeared in Wang Xuanjun's arms.

"Ah! Damn these despicable guys!" Wang Xuanjun was going crazy.

"Hey, what are you doing there? Find a bunker and hide."

Li Xiaopeng shouted in the communication.

I saw the bullet passing by Wang Xuanjun. If the other fat follower hadn't pushed the frightened Wang Xuanjun aside, he would have been eliminated immediately after the fat follower.

Fortunately, neither of them got shot.

"Oh, this idiot thinks the opponent has no teammates." Li Xiaopeng complained in a low voice.

Then I aimed the direction of the bullet with a scope, and as expected, there was someone holding Wang Xuanjun there on the upper right side.

"Damn you, such a layman!" Li Xiaopeng shot the gunman directly in the head, eliminating him on the spot. Then he shouted into the communicator.

"Old Wang, I have killed another enemy. There are two more people I don't know where, but the general direction is about 30 degrees diagonally to the right. You should avoid that direction and move forward carefully. I will arrive soon."

"I know...I know."

The two of them moved forward cautiously against the mountain.

After walking for a while, they were already a little far away. Li Xiaopeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party didn't seem to be chasing him.

"But we're only halfway through the trip, and we've already lost one person. The next step will be difficult."

But halfway through the trip, Chen Xingying stopped her teammates.

….

The perspective switches back to Chen Xingying and the others. Chen Xingying and the others tried their best to minimize losses. Because they relied on Chen Xin's magic, they easily avoided the combat zone along the way.

"Stop for a moment, something is a little strange here!"

Halfway through the journey, Chen Xingying suddenly stopped and stopped everyone.

"What's wrong, Professor?" Li Xiaoyu asked.

"Look at the map. There are three roads going up the mountain. We took the one on the left. But you can see that only the one on the left shows the way to the top of the mountain, while the other two actually ended abruptly in the second half."

Chen Xingying pointed at the map and showed it to the three of them.

"It looks like we are on the right path." Xiao Chu asked puzzledly.

"What I'm curious about is why this kind of terrain was designed. It's like forcing players to fight to the death in a certain execution." Chen Xingying explained.

"Is there anything unreasonable about this?" Chen Xin asked.

"Chicken-eating games like Battle Royale have to deal with randomness. If the equipment is fixed, it will focus on the birth location and the irregularity of the shrinking circle. In this game, in addition to the random birth point

In addition, almost everything is deliberately arranged. I have only seen this kind of setting in one game."

"Ah, I know Master, it was our last treasure hunt." Xiao Chu also realized this.

"Yes, but the treasure hunt itself has a special mechanism, and it makes sense to arrange a theme. But why should it be deliberately arranged this time."

"Son of the Demon Tribe?" Chen Xin's voice came from the side, the character whose background story the GM mentioned before about this competition.

"Why would a chicken-eating competition incorporate the main plot of the Immortal Sword Tribulation? I think it must have something to do with this." Chen Xin added.

"That is to say, even if you survive to the end and successfully eat the chicken, the game will not end and the main plot will still continue. Is this what you mean?" Chen Xingying asked.

"That's what I thought." Chen Xin nodded affirmatively.

"In short, the decisive battle is inevitable, this is correct." Xiaoyu interjected.

"Yes, we have been trying to avoid the war until the end, but it seems impossible." Chen Xingying replied.

"Then let's go to the decisive battle point first. If we can capture the high ground first, we will have a great advantage. Well... it should be right in front of our road."

"Yes, that's right. Let's move forward. I believe we are the front team so far. The place for the decisive battle should be not far from the peak."

Believing in the conclusions they had drawn, the four members of the team accelerated their progress and headed straight to the summit.

The road to climb the mountain in reality is not that smooth, but the K2 peak in the Taoyuan system should be said to be the way forward for this competition, and it becomes more and more convenient the further you go.

Although after reaching a certain height, Chen Xingying found that all their communication equipment failed. The wind also became very strong, and it should only get stronger above this level. In this way, the decisive battle with firearms would basically be random hits.

Suddenly, in front of the road, the originally unfair gravel road turned into stone steps. And every ten meters or so on both sides, there were statues of monsters. They were two inches smaller than the usual stone lions at the door.

lock up.

In such a harsh and steep environment, this facility looks particularly weird.

"Although it leads to heaven, it doesn't look like a road to ascension at all. Instead, it feels like a road to hell." Chen Xin sighed there.

"It was just windy, but it was still sunny, but why was it so dark when we got here?" Xiaoyu said.

"Ah, look at the sky." Xiao Chu pointed to the top of the steps.

"What is this?" Everyone looked in the direction Xiao Chu pointed and were shocked by the sight in front of them.

I saw that in the distant sky, probably above the peak, was shrouded in a black-purple cloud.

"Is this the plot of a brave man fighting the devil..." Chen Xingying complained.

"No matter what, at least our conclusion is more and more proven to be correct. Let's go." Xiaoyu said.

The four of them continued to move up the steps.

The further we walked, the darker the scenery became. It really felt more and more like we were on the way to hell as Chen Xin just said.
Chapter completed!
