Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1296 - 159: Quitting While You’re Ahead

In the buzzing, clear voice, several light clusters shuttled back and forth in the vast beehive space, guiding the "Six Arena Champions" and the other teammates to enter.

Xu Shu looked at the golden characters above, feeling somewhat surprised.

Sacrifice!

There is no doubt, this surely refers to the triggering item in Xie Xiaochan’s hand, the fragment of the Demon Blade Muramasa: Sun-Stop.

In the eyes of the ruler of this place, this actually counts as a sacrifice.

Could it be that in Its eyes, this arena is not just a means to satisfy Its wicked interest in "cricket fighting," but also a sacrificial ritual for It?

Hiss!

Thinking about it this way, it does seem quite possible!

The process of sacrifice is to offer sacrifices to the gods and receive their blessings.

And in the arena, the reward for a challenge is equivalent to the blessing of the gods; sacrifices, whether items or lives, are indeed present simultaneously!

"This actually turns out to be a sacrifice...then can I use the altar?"

Xu Shu suddenly had a startling thought in his mind.

As a seasoned "sacrifice-snatcher," using the Mark Altar to summon the Lie Zhenzi reward is a basic procedure and strategy in sacrificial rituals!

And if that truly succeeds, is there a chance to summon Lie Zhenzi directly?

If it really succeeds, directly achieving the accolade of "Xu Longxiang bravely venturing into Death Report Ridge, Lie Zhenzi pleasantly receives the Joy God," wouldn’t that be delightful!

Xu Shu has considerable faith in Lie Zhenzi’s strength. Even during the development of the Abyss’s four major Evil Gods, Lie Zhenzi easily conquered them, without fearing that It can’t handle this unknown little Evil God in front of him.

However, although this idea was quite clear, Xu Shu quashed it within three seconds.

Today’s events are different!

In the past, sacrifices were first about conducting a "sacrificial ritual," then constructing a channel with the deities by sacrificing life and flesh.

The opportunity for snatching sacrifices is within "constructing the channel."

But this time is different; it’s directly under the "God’s" gaze where the sacrifice was made.

If an altar is brought out now, and if Lie Zhenzi fails to respond before being noticed by the opponent, that would be quite the joke.

How is this any different from being blatantly inappropriate in front of someone?

If there were still resurrection chances now, and if he were the only one here, Xu Shu would indeed be tempted to try.

For example, time the "exit from the instance," ensuring that he can be teleported out directly before the end of the super-dimensional state, then there wouldn’t be an issue.

Having previously pushed the limits in front of the Dark Mother Goddess’ Eye, Xu Shu has gained enough confidence in "super-dimensional states," with very rich "self-destructive experiences"!

Unfortunately, it can’t be exchanged.

"Hmm, a noble person does not rush things, worst comes to worst, and challenge the limits next time..."

In his heart, Xu Shu silently kept a note.

Not long after, they saw a massive cargo box wrapped in a cluster of light, several dozens of meters high, smashing down on the opposite side first.

Simultaneously, on their team’s side, many light-quality cable cars were transporting all the "participants," including the biochemical mother body and the mermaid, down to the ground.

Some of them were directly tossed into the spectator stands, while five of them landed in the duel arena.

Xu Shu looked up and saw that it was Xie Xiaochan, Lu Bingwei, Ali, Yan Huoxing, and the mermaid among them.

Among their team, these five have the strongest power; entering the duel now, they all stepped onto the battlefield with confidence.

"Impressive, Xu Shu! I thought you would lose, but you actually won five matches in a streak. Now we have a full hour of challenge time! Furthermore, we can have six people in the team join, absolutely easy!"

As soon as Xie Xiaochan landed, she excitedly patted Xu Shu on the shoulder first.

The others also clasped their fists towards Xu Shu, praising him for a well-fought match.

Lu Bingwei looked at Xu Shu with unusual brilliance in her eyes, seemingly having other thoughts.

Xie Xiaochan casually added, "Were you hurt at all?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Not injured, but you..." Xu Shu initially hesitated, then looked at the nearby mermaid with a puzzled expression.

The mermaid rolled her eyes at him silently.

Xie Xiaochan smiled sheepishly, "Haha, originally Jun Moxiao wanted to join the battle, but I said the enemy’s situation is special, and we might need the Mang Worm’s assistance. He thought about it and agreed."

"Ugh..." Xu Shu hesitated for a moment, rethinking, and realized the little bride’s words actually made a lot of sense.

"Enough talking, let’s finish this match first, the enemy is about to appear. You quickly put on the mermaid...well, or shall we let Yan Huoxing do it? Are you tired?" Xie Xiaochan suddenly said.

The mermaid’s expression suddenly froze.

Yan Huoxing’s eyes lit up, rubbing his hands excitedly, "Hahaha! Brother Xu, I was just thinking the same thing. You’ve fought hard for five matches, why don’t you leave this dirty and tiring task to me..."

"No need, I can still handle it!"

Xu Shu raised his hand to stop him, picked up the mermaid like armor, and put it on his body.

Chi!

At this moment, with the sound of digging from the front, the champion of the sixth arena burst through the dust.

"It’s exactly as expected." Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth curved upward slightly.

The creature before him was a terrifying monster seemingly made from countless broken human bones pieced together.

Its body stretched nearly thirty meters long, with skull heads drifting on its surface, and a constant spread of gray-black death energy.

It was once a special-level Curse Spirit, Qi Lixiang!
