Chapter 293
But it was enough. She believed that as long as one of the members of the Red Team understood and was intrigued by the deal, they would share the news and translate it among themselves.
Tu Lan also helped by writing it out in the languages of the Oak Owl and the Dragon Clan.
Time flew by, and as she sensed the end was near, Yu Xun Ge quickly stowed the lantern back into the magician's wisdom tooth.
The moment the last word was written, she felt an overwhelming pressure surround her, a shadow cast overhead. The once empty room was suddenly filled with otherworldly beings, and both Yu Xun Ge and Tu Lan, crouching on the ground, felt a chill run down their spines.
Yu Xun Ge immediately began to announce the matter in the languages she hadn’t yet written down, reciting quickly as she stood up to survey the room. It felt as if nearly all the members of the Red Team were present, with a crowd still gathered outside...
At the forefront was Sha Leng.
The appearance of the Sha Lin clan bore little resemblance to sharks. He was tall and handsome, standing at least two meters high, with gray eyes and hair. His long, deep gray hair nearly reached his heels, thick and wild like a beast's fur.
Yu Xun Ge could almost imagine that if one were to look at Sha Leng from behind, they might mistake him for a giant gray bear walking upright.
She couldn’t afford to be intimidated. Steeling her courage, she squeezed her way toward the throne, calling out in Sha Lin language once more. Of course, she wasn’t some clueless newbie; she added respectful language!
Sha Leng: "..."
Finally, Yu Xun Ge plopped down onto the throne of the Red Team, and the decorations began to turn blue.
It had exhausted her! Her voice was hoarse from shouting!
Tu Lan stood proudly on Yu Xun Ge's shoulder, but the room was filled with otherworldly beings, the lowest being at level 7, and the highest, Sha Leng, at level 19. All the beings looked at Yu Xun Ge and the dragon on her shoulder with cold eyes, as if they were examining a dish.
After finishing her words in Sha Lin language, Yu Xun Ge began to communicate in the few languages she knew among the gathered beings.
The otherworldly beings did not attack; they waited quietly, clearly agreeing to her deal.
What’s the point of playing a game if not to translate a rule? Now, they had a chance to get a translation directly from this rookie, so there was no need for violence.
However, a small, thin being with skin like dry wood spoke up, "What if I command you to translate everything you understand for us?"
Yu Xun Ge looked at the being, a member of the You Mu clan, and replied firmly, "I only promise that the first rule I translate for you will be absolutely honest, because that’s the money I’m using to buy my life."
She had the capital and confidence for the deal. Even if the beings present could easily kill her, she could still back down. The more precious her bargaining chip, the less she could afford to give it away easily. Even if they were to slay her here, she would never relent!
More importantly, translating just one rule was the safest approach.
She had already lost 4 points of constitution for breaking the rules once. Here, the rules were both a limitation and a weakness; knowing too many rules about a player would bring her closer to death.
**Chapter 380: Divine Game: The Little Painter 7**
With her attitude so resolute, the level 8 You Mu clan member stopped pressing her.
Yu Xun Ge realized that, surprisingly, she felt no fear or panic; instead, there was a sense of exhilaration. Cornered and unable to pretend, she faced danger with her most authentic self, and it didn’t seem so terrifying after all.
What was this? This was the mindset of a strong person.
As the last corner of the throne was dyed blue, the red pillar of light transformed into blue.
Before her appeared a golden star and two hollow stars outlined in light.
She moved to a corner, watching the otherworldly beings, waiting for them to step forward and set up their protective measures before writing down the rules.
Tu Lan asked her in her heart, "What if someone asks and then kills you?"
A new round of the game had begun. This time, a colored symbol appeared above her head again, still a blue triangle. The good news was that she was not the flag bearer this time, and the beings in the room had formed new teams.
Yu Xun Ge remained still, thinking to herself, "No way. It’s not worth it to offend so many beings for just one life."
Even if they were eternal enemies here, it didn’t mean she had to provoke so many at once.
Sha Leng was the first to approach. Without any visible action, the corner was surrounded by thorns, and he began to write down the rules on the ground. As soon as Yu Xun Ge understood one, she immediately translated it for him.
One after another, the otherworldly beings stepped forward to write down the rules, and those with higher combat power went first in a tacit agreement.
As she had promised, Yu Xun Ge only translated one rule. Even when one being pressed a knife against her neck and shattered her shield of [Last Stand], she remained unfazed, merely observing the being’s divine talent.
SS level. Although it had no special features, it was still strong.
She couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful for not bringing the sharpshooter talent with her this time; otherwise, she could have directly exchanged it for an SS-level skill...
Seeing that she was unyielding, the being clicked his tongue and turned to leave.
When only one being remained, Yu Xun Ge’s expression turned wary, and she mentally told Tu Lan, "Get ready."
The being before her was level 3, just like her, a fool. He chuckled at Yu Xun Ge’s tense demeanor, squatting down to write the rules.
Regardless of whether he intended to kill her, Yu Xun Ge had already developed a murderous intent toward this Lizardman, as he was one of the beings depicted in the painting "Desert Captain."
He was one of the beings on the far left of the painting, "dead" in the desert, and he had a pet that resembled a bear and a pig.
In the rules of the game of Mist Blade, there was a rule written in Autumn Bear language that prohibited painting in the oasis, but she hadn’t...
Of course, it was also possible that she had that rule but used a different language.
But she was certain that the other being wouldn’t let her off, and she just wanted to test the difference between level 2 and level 3 combat power. The opponent was stronger than her, but she had her own secret arts, and it was a perfect opportunity to gauge the gap in power.
Yu Xun Ge thought, "Forget about his pet; just aim for that being."
She had only ten A-level skills harvested from the tower.
Four were support skills: besides [Temporary Respec], [Angry Birds], and [Drunken Dream], there was only one left, [Fabricate], which could briefly create an item she had used before, lasting only one minute with a cooldown of one hour.
There were also four attack skills: [Explosive Drummer] and [Meteor Shower] for area attacks, and [Deadly Sniper] and [Full Payment for Life] for single-target attacks.
The last two were healing skill [Blood for Blood] and counterattack skill [Try Hitting Me Again].
—[Drunken Dream]!
The Lizardman writing at that moment, along with his pet, fell into a state of stupor.
Although the [Drunken Dream] skill would wake the target if their health dropped below 10%, wouldn’t it be better if they died before they had a chance to wake up?
She had Tu Lan prepare the strongest single-target skill he had comprehended in the tower—[Dragon Breath Spear].
Meanwhile, Yu Xun Ge used [Fabricate] to create a [Ember]. She aimed for the Lizardman’s head and unleashed her strongest strike with [Full Payment for Life], draining all her mana.
Seconds later, a bullet, trailing a comet-like tail, and a spear exuding a chilling aura shot toward the Lizardman, who was still in a drunken stupor!
100% → 47% → 0%
Fortunately, they focused their fire; the combined skills of one person and one dragon cleared out 100% of his health!!!
Perhaps once Yu Xun Ge recovered from the weakening caused by the soul impact, it wouldn’t be so strenuous.
At the moment the Lizardman died, his pet vanished as well.
Immediately, several notification sounds echoed in her mind.
【Ding—Congratulations to Zai Jiu Xun Ge for killing the buried spring Alin. Player Alin chooses to exchange three S-level skills for a chance at resurrection. You will randomly draw one S-level skill as your loot.】
【Ding—Experience points gained from the kill: 5.3% of the opponent's current level.】
【Loot extraction complete. You have obtained Alin's S-level skill—Air Slash.】
【Newbie player reminder: Skills obtained by hunting other players in the world battlefield can be used unconditionally within the world battlefield.】
Yu Xun Ge heard the system announcement but had no time to deal with her gains. The moment her target died, she immediately used [Temporary Respec] to redistribute her power attributes to intelligence, and her mana began to recover rapidly.
At the same time, she started to handle the corpse. Her bullet and Tu Lan’s ice dragon breath had struck the Lizardman’s heart, leaving a wound, but the blood was sealed by the icy breath.
She could already hear the sounds of other beings rushing over.
There was no time left!!
She said to Tu Lan, "You search the corpse! I’ll handle the rest!"
Without hesitation, Tu Lan jumped onto the corpse, only to find it had turned into a phantom.
But that didn’t stop her from continuing to search the ground, hoping to find any drops.
