The First Blade: How to Obtain It!

In an empty city.

The group split up and took action separately.

Searching everywhere for a sharp blade.

With a sharp blade in hand, even if one kills the wrong person, one will not die along with them.

This is a powerful tool that we must master.

Chen Ning and his group searched the city for a long time but failed to find a sharp weapon.

At the same time.

The group maintained a safe distance from each other.

Especially Yao Li.

All three of them were far away from her.

After all.

In the previous game, Yao Li suddenly attacked, turning Chen Ning into a vengeful ghost, almost causing Chen Ning to perish in the Dark Forest.

As the saying goes, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit."

All three were on high alert this time.

Yao Li said resentfully, "Could you please stay further away from me? I'm really not a thug. Can't we at least have a little trust between people?"

The three remained unmoved.

Yao Li looked at Chen Ning and said, "I even helped you in the last round."

"But you were the one who hurt me first."

In the previous round, if he hadn't been tricked by Yao Li, no one would have been able to get close to Chen Ning.

Even someone as strong as Jiang Shu couldn't catch up with Chen Ning.

Soon.

The allotted time has elapsed.

As agreed.

Chen Ning and his three companions returned to their starting position.

At this time.

Of those present, one was missing.

Only nineteen people.

Bai Ruyu gazed leisurely at the Southern Territory cultivator who had returned.

His companions did not return with him at this moment.

All eyes turned to him.

Sensing the murderous gazes of the crowd, the cultivator from the Southern Territory explained, "We got separated. I searched for him for a long time, and seeing that time was approaching, I dared not delay any longer, so I came back on my own."

"You were traveling together, how did you get separated?"

Wen Aotian spoke coldly.

The cultivator from the Southern Territory said, "We were both worried that the other might be a villain, so we kept a safe distance. But after I entered an alley first, he disappeared. I was on guard for a long time, worried that he was trying to ambush me. In the end, after I came out of the alley, he disappeared too, and we don't know if he's alive or dead."

The cultivator from the Southern Territory, having said this, looked at the crowd again and said excitedly, "If my companion was killed by the thugs, then someone must have left their own group to have had the opportunity to act. Has any of you ever left your group?"

Everyone remained calm.

They all shook their heads.

Obviously.

None of them left the team.

Needless to say, Chen Ning and his group of four were also constantly on guard against Yao Li, which meant that Yao Li remained in their sight.

No one answered.

The cultivator from the Southern Territory panicked and retreated, saying, "Think about it carefully again. Perhaps someone really did use some method to leave quietly!"

Wen Aotian's gaze turned cold as he said, "Stop struggling in your death throes; you are a villain."

At the same time.

A Rogue Cultivator from the Northern Territory made his move directly; he had no weapon in his hand.

A powerful punch was thrown.

The cultivator from the Southern Territory was not physically strong, and after a few rounds, he could not hold on.

Die!

The Northern Territory cultivator delivered a powerful punch, splitting the opponent's skull open.

The next moment.

The Northern Territory cultivator's expression changed, and cracks appeared on his head.

He then died.

His death was exactly the same as that of the cultivator from the Southern Territory.

This scene.

This surprised everyone present.

They both died.

This shows that the wrong person was killed.

That person was not a criminal.

"If he wasn't lying, then the assailant was one of his companions."

"Yes, that's certainly possible!"

Everyone sighed.

At this time.

There were twenty people, then two fewer, plus the missing one.

Now.

Only seventeen people remained.

In the fifteen minutes that followed, no one found the blade, and finding it became the most crucial task.

Otherwise.

The consequences of killing the wrong person are far too great.

"Next, let's act together. Although it will be slower, it's the safest way. What are your opinions?"

Wen Aotian looked around at everyone.

Everyone pondered silently.

Everyone thought this was a good solution.

Even when exploring in a team, mistakes can easily occur.

Everyone acted together.

This means that even if the perpetrator is not the missing person.

He dared not draw his sword lightly.

"That's excellent!"

"It's settled then!"

Let's go together!

Everyone agreed.

But at this moment...

Above the deserted city.

The voice of the God of Games resounded.

"Now, I will reveal how to obtain the first blade. To obtain this blade, you need to operate the devices at the four corners of this city within a quarter of an hour; otherwise, the blade will disappear permanently."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Everyone's expression changed slightly.

They had just come up with a plan to have everyone act simultaneously.

Result.

The God of Games fixed the bug immediately.

They forcibly separated the group.

But this sharp blade must be sought after.

Otherwise.

Without witnessing the perpetrators committing the crime firsthand, they dared not act rashly.

Seeing that everyone was hesitating.

Bai Ruyu shook her head and smiled, "Everyone, as you've all seen, this level isn't easy to pass. Since the God of Games has set the rules, let's abide by them. We are seventeen people, divided into four teams, three teams of four people each, and one team of five people. If we fail to operate the device within the specified time limit and lose our weapons, there will likely be more casualties."

Soon.

The team has been reorganized.

Chen Ning's team configuration remains unchanged.

But this time...

There is a time limit.

Everyone couldn't help but speed up.

Chen Ning and his entourage traveled to Dongcheng District.

On the road.

Qi Yu and Zhao Xiuxiu discussed their suspicions about the culprit.

"Brother Qi, do you think the culprit is really the missing person?"

Zhao Xiuxiu asked, looking completely bewildered.

Qi Yu narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly, "Of course it's not that simple. As the most intelligent person among us, I believe the real culprit must be very well hidden, for example..."

He gradually walked in.

"For example what?"

Zhao Xiuxiu asked curiously.

"Like me!"

Qi Yu suddenly moved closer to Zhao Xiuxiu, his right hand forming a palm strike, pressing against her chest.

The next moment.

Zhao Xiuxiu reacted quickly, grabbed Qi Yu, and executed a classic over-the-shoulder throw.

Ouch!

Qi Yu winced in pain.

Zhao Xiuxiu had already pounced on him, seized him, and pinned Qi Yu beneath her, exclaiming with delight, "Sect Leader, I've caught the culprit!"

"Alright, let him go. He's not a thug."

Chen Ning spoke calmly.

Zhao Xiuxiu obediently let go.

Qi Yu yelled incessantly, "Damn it, I was just kidding! How could you hit me so hard?!"

His bones are broken.

Unable to use his Essence Power or recover, he could only endure the pain.

Chen Ning chuckled from the side, "Xiuxiu is naive and easily trusts others. If you tease him carelessly again and something bad happens to you, I won't be able to help you."

"Oh, how boring! I won't joke with you next time."

"I'm sorry, you're injured and can't walk. How about I carry you on my back?"

Zhao Xiuxiu looked apologetic.

Without waiting for the other party's consent, she picked him up and carried him on her back. Zhao Xiuxiu was too rough, and for a moment, Qi Yu's broken bones ached intensely.

Ouch!

Qi Yu, on his back, continued to scream in agony.
