"Survivor": So Boss Xu Xi Wasn't Just Wandering Around

Xu Xi was completely baffled.

Logically, he's died countless times, perhaps even beyond his own count. Shouldn't he be completely immune to this kind of situation?

Why did he still get goosebumps all over his body even though he didn't realize it?

"Tsk." Xu Xi muttered to herself as she glanced back out of the corner of her eye.

He actually guessed right.

This gave him even more confidence in his previous assumptions.

The dozens of Blue Entity before us are probably just the tip of the iceberg.

If these ten thousand-plus Blue Entity were on the opposing side of the players, then the eleven players might as well give up and just pack them up and send them to their deaths.

Therefore, these Blue Entity are at least neutral.

Moreover, he noticed that the Blue Entity on the other side only blocked the passage in front of him, but did not block the way he came from behind.

Their sudden appearance seemed to have a simple purpose: to stop me from moving forward, to make me turn back, and to leave this place.

So... what lies ahead?

After wandering around for half a day without making any progress, Xu Xi became interested. He quietly lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the simple map of the Camp in his hand.

After comparing for a while, he finally figured out his position.

Walk a little further ahead, and you'll reach the Dungeon.

Dungeon...?

Xu Xi fell into deep thought.

What could be inside that would warrant these Blue Entity guarding it so closely and strictly forbidding strangers from approaching?

Could it be related to how the Dungeon is cleared?

Despite his lengthy analysis, he was still completely clueless about how to clear the Dungeon.

The only somewhat feasible idea is to start with that Living Corpse Man and try to seal or eliminate him.

Could the Dungeon hold a method or Item to seal or eliminate the Living Corpse Man?

However, he is currently unable to enter the Dungeon to verify this.

Seeing that the Blue Entity were getting restless, seemingly ready to make their move since she hadn't left for a while, Xu Xi's mind raced.

These Blue Entity do not appear to be entirely devoid of consciousness.

Since we're already here, why not give it a try and exchange ideas?

"I'm just taking a look around, I mean no harm."

Knowing that this Camp had once been built as an exhibition hall, Xu Xi immediately described herself as a tourist.

As for whether the Blue Entity on the other side can tell the difference...

Seeing that they actually showed a hint of human-like hesitation, Xu Xi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

After thinking for a moment, he added another sentence.

I'll leave after the tour.

A moment later, dozens of bluish figures slowly disappeared.

Looking at the completely open passageway in front of her, Xu Xi let out a silent gasp.

Is it really that simple?

*

The Livestream Room fell silent.

Most netizens were prepared to witness the downfall of Huaguo gamers.

To everyone's surprise, the young Huaguo man resolved the crisis with just a few simple words.

[Oh dear, what to do? Just do it this way (IP Huaguo)]

[Where is the leaping heart? Return permitted (IP Huaguo)]

Unlike the Huaguo viewers who took it for granted, the viewers from other countries were filled with disbelief.

[???(ip Beautiful Country)]

[Is it really that easy? (IP United States)]

[So these monsters can communicate! Then why didn't the monster that attacked our players give them a chance to communicate? (IP: Maple Leaf Country)]

[What's so special about these two sentences? They so easily made those eerie things retreat. I can't understand it (IP Garden Country)]

This young player from Huaguo suddenly became even more unpredictable in their eyes.

The opponent's overly casual attitude and almost childish ease in the face of crisis created a stark contrast with the other ten players.

Central Production Team.

When they saw those Blue-Gray Entity emerge one by one to stop the young man, the two hosts almost held their breath, not daring to blink, and stared intently at the big screen the entire time.

They only breathed a sigh of relief after the strange creatures had disappeared one by one.

"That was so dangerous! How could there be so many strange creatures with bluish skin?" Yao Han suddenly realized that her palms were sweating.

Jiang Jin touched his chest, where the rapid tremor hadn't subsided. He tried to lighten the tense atmosphere with a joke, "Looks like even though we're separated by a screen, our hearts have been on a rollercoaster ride too."

[Damn, who understands the despair of someone with trypophobia?]

[Wait, is the bizarre number of instances in this Dungeon for real??]

What else can I say? I can only say that Xu Xi truly lives up to his reputation; he remained calm and easily defeated the villain.

"Our contestant has made a breakthrough so far," Jiang Jin continued, having composed himself. "There must be important clues in these eerily guarded places."

"Xu Xi had been wandering around the Camp, was he actually looking for this place?" Yao Han asked the two experts opposite her curiously.

Luo Zongyun's fingers tapped unconsciously on his knee. Hearing this, he raised an eyebrow. "That's possible."

"Both the Russia and Maple Leaf Country contestants encountered this strange attack, proving that these strange entities are not harmless. However, they did not attack our contestants immediately. Why is that?" Jiang Jin asked, voicing his doubts.

Lin Miao picked up the conversation, her voice deeper than usual, carrying a calm, analytical quality. "These dozens of strange creatures are probably just guarding this passage. They're only blocking Xu Xi's way, not surrounding him, which means they don't seem to be very hostile towards Xu Xi and can communicate with him, not acting purely on instinct."

"Since these strange tasks are supposed to guard the passage, why was it that Xu Xi could get them to move aside with just a few words?" Yao Han continued to ask.

"Don't forget, this Camp was once converted into an exhibition hall for visitors." Luo Zongyun smiled. "Perhaps being a visitor serves as a layer of protection."

"Isn't it a matter of course for tourists to visit the exhibition hall?"

The two hosts weren't stupid either, and this statement made them think of another point.

Jiang Jin tentatively voiced his opinion. "These Blue-Gray Entity... could they be victims of this Camp in the past?"

Luo Zongyun gave him an approving look and nodded slightly. "It seems so for now."

Hiss.

Yao Han and Jiang Jin exchanged a glance.

[I didn't miss anything! Are you guys jumping between topics so fast??]

[How did I become a tourist? How did I know those strange occurrences were victims?]

[The preceding points will become clear if you consider the background of the Dungeon.]

[So Xu Xi wasn't just wandering around after all!]

Is it possible that this is actually no different from just strolling around?

[Wait, shouldn't the point be that there are over ten thousand of these bizarre creatures?!]

At this moment, the young man on the screen had already passed through the passage and arrived at the end.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

However, the depths of the passage, which they had thought held some crucial clue, were unexpectedly empty.

*

"..." Xu Xi stood in the empty Dungeon, glancing around suspiciously.

That's it?

Then what?
