Abyss invasion? As a demon cultivator, I laughed.

If he had not been forced to do so, Chu Xiu would not have wanted to do such a thing.

He also wanted to pass the trial of the rank of a soldier smoothly.

But he thought about all the possible ways in his mind, but still could not think of a way to pass the level.

Even if he risked his life and killed the remaining two elders by chance after playing all his trump cards, he would not have time to stop the hunting operation that spread throughout the village.

Chu Xiu looked at the progress of the ceremony. When he killed the elders, it had risen to more than 80%.

"In this case, I can only prioritize self-protection."

There are only two ways to survive at present. One is to rob Jiang Xue of the escape props, and the other is to hide until the end of the trial time limit, and then he can escape on his own.

There is no punishment for wiping out the mission failure in the abyss, just like in reality, there are few cases of direct sudden death after a breakthrough failure, especially at a relatively low level.

But the problem is that it is very difficult to hide until the end of the trial.

The trial has only been going on for a little over half an hour, and when the ritual is completed and the evil god descends, no one knows what will happen!

Maybe the evil god just thought about it and locked Chu Xiu's position, and then with a light finger, Chu Xiu would be crushed into powder without any resistance.

Just as Jiang Xue said at the beginning, if it is delayed until the time limit is approaching, it is almost 100% certain that the whole group will be wiped out!

Therefore, snatching Jiang Xue's escape props is the best strategy!

A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, but it only lasted for a moment and turned into determination!

Chu Xiu is not cold-blooded, but he can suppress emotions with absolute reason when necessary, and take the most beneficial actions without hesitation.

Hiding his figure, Chu Xiu kept approaching Jiang Xue, looking for the opportunity to seize.

At this time, Jiang Xue was obviously exhausted. She was performing a strange spell, and the enemy hit immediately collapsed to the ground, but she did not seem to have mastered large-scale lethal spells. Under the attack of wave after wave of steel cans, she was finally forced into a corner!

"Chen Ce! Are you done?" She shouted hoarsely.

Chu Xiu felt a little guilty, but still did not move. Instead, he focused and stared at every move of Jiang Xue.

She dodged the attack of a guard in a panic, but when she stood up, a two-handed sword chopped down on her head again!

"Chen Ce, I can't hold on any longer!" She shouted again.

Just as she spoke, a sword brushed past her hair and almost left a scratch on her face. Jiang Xue showed a panic on her face. At this time, she seemed to have made up her mind. She suddenly raised her hand and gathered spiritual light in her hand.

"Here it comes!"

Chu Xiu's legs were tight, and the Dacheng Mizhao Step was accumulating power under his feet. The moment Jiang Xue started to get rid of the props, he would rush out and snatch it away!

However, at this time, Chu Xiu seemed to have seen some Arabian Nights scene, and suddenly froze in place.

But Jiang Xue's raised hand did not have any props, but her whole palm became wide and slender at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then she grabbed the attacking sword!

The next moment, accompanied by a crisp sound, the guard's two-handed sword was directly broken by the perfect hands!

At the same time, Jiang Xue's body was also undergoing amazing changes. Her height began to grow wildly, and soon she was more than ten centimeters taller. Her chubby little face became angular, her shoulder-length hair grew to her waist, and her originally cute almond eyes became majestic phoenix eyes, and the color of her pupils turned into a cold dark gold.

In just one or two breaths, she changed from a cute loli of less than 1.6 meters to a cold-faced queen of nearly 1.8 meters!

The originally wide robe now fits the curves like a tight cheongsam, and the two big thunders can't cover it.

"Jiang Xue" looked at the guards who surrounded her in front of her, and the panic in her eyes was gone, replaced by only the boredom of looking at ants.

She pointed her slender finger at the sky, and a lightsaber soared into the air, splitting into dozens of lightsabers in the air, falling from the sky like a divine punishment from heaven!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Those lightsabers were like the sharpest swords in the world, piercing through the guards' armor without any hindrance, and the scorching heat melted their armor and bodies together.

As the "clang" sounded one after another, the guards fell one after another, and in the blink of an eye they turned into more than a dozen cold corpses.

This amazing scene made Chu Xiu's eyes widen in shock!

He had preset many situations in advance and made preparations, but he didn't expect this development at all.

What the hell? A big transformation?

What the hell have you been doing before you are so strong!

Chu Xiu had a strong desire to complain, but he thought about it and it made a lot of sense. It's not cheap to get rid of the props. At least it has to be equipped by children of Ye Junlin's level. There is no reason why Jiang Xue would be weak.

"Come out."

Just as Chu Xiu was thinking, "Jiang Xue"'s voice, as cold as a mountain spring, sounded.

Her dark golden eyes turned to Chu Xiu: "If I'm not mistaken, you are hiding there to take my sister's escape tool, right?"

Chu Xiu was silent.

After a while, he slowly walked out of the shadows and smiled: "So what?"

But the hand hidden under the black robe clenched the bone spear, and his eyes were closely watching "Jiang Xue's" every move.

But who knew, she smiled indifferently: "A rational choice, let me introduce myself, my name is Jiang Yu."

Chu Xiu: ".Hello."

Although the opponent seemed not to take action against him, Chu Xiu did not let down his guard at all.

Jiang Yu turned his head, no longer looking at him, but gently put his hand on his forehead: "Wait a minute, let me digest the memory."

After a few seconds, she frowned.

"So that's the case. It's indeed a bit troublesome."

"Not only is the enemy's level high, but does it also require no damage?"

"Well, if you want to break the game, you still have to figure out the [rules] of the ritual. Every time a trialist is injured, the progress of the ritual will increase, and the wounds will also cause distortion. So the rule is [injury]? Or [fire]? [ Destruction]? No, it should be."

"It's [pain]." Chu Xiu answered.

"If you look at the performance alone, both [injury] and [destruction] are possible, but the villagers here gave us hints that there are traces of self-mutilation on their bodies, and whether it is burning or acupuncture, it will bring extreme [ Pain], they are not simply self-mutilating, but deliberately torturing themselves to obtain the ultimate pain.”

Burning is the highest level of pain. As for acupuncture, imagine sticking a toothpick under your thumbnail and kicking it against the wall.

"This is confirmed by the fact that my summoned object will not be deformed, because it cannot feel pain." Chu Xiu continued.

"This is a world where as long as there is pain, distortion can occur and gain strength."

"However, not everyone should be able to have such obvious effects. The civilians in this village gain very little power and distortion after self-mutilation, but the elders can gain amazing power through self-mutilation. This should be the same as [Inspiration] Relatedly, the higher the [Inspiration], the easier it is to sense the evil god and obtain his blessing."

"The inspiration of the trialists is very high, so we are perfect sacrifices. This is why they are chasing us crazily."

Chu Xiu's words made Jiang Yu look surprised in her beautiful eyes, as if she didn't expect that Chu Xiu could figure out the rules one step ahead of her, even though she had only gained the memory not long ago.

In fact, Chu Xiu had never stopped thinking about the "rules" in this village. When he saw the elders in the prison who were sitting on execution chairs and deliberately torturing him, he had roughly confirmed his speculation.

However, the difficulty of this trial is not in the [rules].

Even if they have not thought through the rules of the ritual from beginning to end, they will instinctively avoid pain. Judging from the actual performance, they only add a debuff that requires the trialist to pass the level [without injury].

Figuring out the rules doesn't help.

Jiang Yu on the opposite side also showed a clear look.

"I understand, which means there are two real difficulties at the moment."

"1. Find a way to destroy the ritual or prevent further advancement of the ritual."

"Second, come up with countermeasures to deal with the great elder's skill that will cause distortion as soon as it is pointed at."
