Chapter 504 The Devil’s Game Begins (5K big chapter, please subscribe.)
After handling all the trivial matters, Lin Yi did not rush to the arena, but chose to go to Bai Xi’s alchemy shop, carefully Selected some props that are beneficial to alchemical creatures.
With everything ready, there's only about an hour left before the Devil's Castle game starts.
Lin Yi returned to Xia's restaurant, intending to relax there for a while and recharge for the upcoming game.
Just as Xia was putting plates of deliciously delicious dishes on the table, she seemed a little uneasy, her hands unconsciously pinching the apron on her body, as if she was brewing something to say.
"Well, can I ask you for a favor?" Xia finally plucked up the courage, with a hint of shyness and expectation in her voice.
Su Xiao caught a glimpse of Xia's movements and felt immediately alert. His first reaction was that Xia might have encountered some trouble, or maybe he had provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked.
"What's wrong? Do you want to kill someone?"
"What are you talking about? How can I be so violent?"
In her last experience in the derivative world, Xia unexpectedly discovered that those contractors who were originally high in her eyes did not seem to be unattainable.
Although their attributes are indeed higher than mine, they are not necessarily much better than mine in terms of actual combat experience.
Because of this, Xia received a B+ rating for the first time.
As an employee, it is rare for Xia to receive such a high evaluation.
You must know that many contractors have difficulty achieving a B+ rating. Even the experienced Su Xiao has received a B+ rating in the first two worlds, which is enough to demonstrate Xia's strength.
"Oh? B+ level, that's really good." Lin Yi put down the chopsticks in his hands and turned his attention to Xia with Su Xiao, "What, do you want to become a contractor?"
Both of them keenly captured Xia's thoughts.
It seems that after experiencing this experience in the derivative world, Xia has developed a strong interest in becoming a contractor, otherwise she would not have revealed such a wish.
Xia smiled shyly, realizing that her request might be a bit presumptuous.
In her limited social circle, the only contractors she is familiar with are Su Xiao and Lin Yi.
Therefore, she hopes to more accurately assess her own strength by competing with the two.
"What do you say? You come and I come?"
Lin Yi glanced at Su Xiao, he didn't mind Xia's request.
"Do you have a suitable opponent over there? I only have BuBoWang here." Su Xiao looked at BuBoWang who was licking the dog's hair on the ground. It would be too difficult for Xia to let Su Xiao take action, so it was better to let BuBoWang take action. More appropriate.
"Let's do this, Xia, how about you have a fight with Xiaoxue?" Lin Yi suggested, "Xiaoxue, be careful later and don't strike too hard, otherwise don't blame Xia for not cooking for you in the future. "
Hearing Lin Yi's instructions, Xiaoxue nodded, and then separated a small vine from a vine to serve as Xia's opponent.
"Wait a moment, I'll go back and get the weapon."
Xia suddenly became nervous when she saw Xiaoxue's movements, so she hurried back to the kitchen, took two kitchen knives, and hurried back to the restaurant.
Seeing Xia's disorganized posture, holding a kitchen knife, and looking like he was facing a formidable enemy, Xiaoxue's mentality that he had planned to take him seriously relaxed instantly.
This discussion does not seem to require it to go all out.
"Come on!" Xia held the kitchen knife tightly with both hands and crossed it in front of his chest in a defensive posture.
At this moment, Xia was wearing a cooking apron and holding two kitchen knives. The image was quite funny.
Lin Yi and Su Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh when they saw this scene. Bubo Wang even took out his camera and captured this interesting scene.
Xia's appearance at this moment does not look like he is preparing to spar, but more like he is preparing to cut off a small piece of vine for cooking.
Seeing that Xia was ready, the front end of Xiaoxue's vine suddenly turned pitch black.
This was a sign that Xiaoxue concentrated the energy in his body at the tip of the vine, which was why such a change occurred.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaoxue pounced towards Xia like a preying snake.
However, Xiaoxue's target was not Xia's body, but the kitchen knife in her hand.
Xia mostly fights with contractors or plot characters in the derived world, and has relatively little experience in fighting plant-based enemies.
Facing Xiaoxue's surprise attack, Xia instinctively wanted to fight back.
Since Xiaoxue's attribute value was far higher than hers, after a clang, Xia was knocked away by Xiaoxue along with the kitchen knife in his hand. Then, Xiaoxue slapped Xia's waist with a vine.
Then Xia's body hit the wall of the restaurant heavily. Fortunately, the protective power of Samsara Paradise came into play at this moment.
Despite suffering such a strong impact, Xia's body was unscathed and not even a drop of blood was shed.
But the kitchen knife in Xia's hand suffered a disaster. Under Xiaoxue's attack, big holes appeared in the blades of both kitchen knives.
When Xia got up from the ground, the kitchen knife split a crack from the big hole, and then broke into two pieces.
"How is it possible? My two kitchen knives are of green quality. How come I can't even withstand an attack?" Xia looked at the kitchen knife broken into two parts in disbelief, feeling full of regret in his heart.
These two kitchen knives cost her a lot of savings to buy, and they expired not long after they were used.
Although Xiaoxue usually seems to be lying lazily on Lin Yi, this does not mean that it has no real abilities.
Under the long-term influence, Xiaoxue also understood some of the essence of swordsmanship, and his level may reach the professional level in the evaluation system of Samsara Paradise.
However, because Xiaoxue's swordsmanship knowledge is not systematic and it cannot use swordsmanship on its own, Samsara Paradise does not display this skill on its panel.
What Xiaoxue used just now was Lin Yi's best thrusting technique, and he specifically aimed at the opponent's weapon to attack.
This is because the black and white rose in Lin Yi's hand has a powerful armor-breaking effect. As long as it is not a high-end or specially strengthened weapon, it will be difficult to withstand its edge.
Over time, Xiaoxue also learned this trick.
You must know that Xiaoxue has the ability to secrete mucus that can corrode metal. If it really uses this skill, it may corrode these two green-quality kitchen knives as soon as the vines come into contact with the kitchen knives.
At this moment, Xia's previous self-confidence was completely shattered by Xiaoxue's blow.
She was originally a little inflated, thinking that she could now get a B+ rating in the first-order derivative world, and she could at least withstand a few moves in Xiaoxue's hands.
The fact is that not only was she unable to sustain a single move, but her weapon was also damaged.
You know, Xia's restaurant only has these two kitchen knives, and it will cost a lot of money to repair them.
After this "long" battle that only lasted 2 seconds, Xia began to doubt life.
Seeing Xia return to normal, Lin Yi and Su Xiao didn't say anything.
In fact, Xia is very smart. She knows that it is much better to learn a lesson from Lin Yi than to learn a lesson in a derivative world, which will lead to death.
Although he was heartbroken, Xia didn't say much and just silently picked up the pieces of the kitchen knife on the ground.
She had originally proposed this sparring session, so she was naturally embarrassed to offer compensation.
"that."
"What's wrong?" Lin Yi asked.
"It's nothing, it's just...how did I lose just now?" Xia was a little confused. She just felt like she was hit by a cannonball. She didn't realize what happened at all, and her waist still hurt.
"I rushed over and gave you a slap on the chest."
"That's it?" Xia seemed a little unbelievable.
"Then I whipped you with the vine on the side." Lin Yi added.
"Haha, no wonder my waist hurts so much. It turns out it was whipped." Xia said with a bitter smile.
Although Xia's health was not reduced under the protection of Samsara Paradise, the pain was real.
She could still feel the burning pain when she touched her waist.
At this moment, the beep from Samsara Paradise suddenly sounded, breaking the moment of tranquility.
"Gone."
Lin Yi put down the chopsticks in his hand, and Su Xiao on the side also made the same move.
After seeing it, Bubo Wang knew that he was about to enter the devil's game, so he stood up from the ground.
"Huh? Are you leaving?"
Xia saw the expressions of several people and knew that they must have received a notice from Samsara Paradise.
"Yeah." Lin Yi responded simply.
"Have a nice trip then." Xia waved to a few people with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
She began to clear the dishes on the table, thinking a lot.
Seeing that Su Xiao and Lin Yi were about to enter the derivative world, Xia suddenly felt that his desire to become a contractor was no longer so strong.
The derivative world is not a place for vacation. For most contractors, it is full of unknowns and dangers.
Even extraordinary beings of the same level like Lin Yi and Su Xiao do not dare to take the derivative world lightly.
With a little carelessness, they might stay in that world forever.
When Lin Yi returned to the exclusive room, he had already received a prompt from the Devil's Castle game. [Tip: The Hunter will enter Alice's Devil's Castle in 5 minutes and 30 seconds to participate in the Devil's Castle game. 】
[Number of participants for booking: 8 people. 】
[Tip: It is found that three participants are members of the same adventure group, and the number of participants has been increased to 10. 】
[Actual participation in the task: 10 people. 】
[Warning: Once the game starts, it cannot be interrupted. 】
[The teleportation is about to begin, hunters need to prepare their equipment as soon as possible. 】
[The time limit has expired and the transmission begins. 】
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Lin Yi felt his body sway and was immediately involved in the space teleportation.
The teleportation feeling this time was completely different from the past. He seemed to be floating in the sea water, with lights and shadows flickering around him, giving people a strange and uneasy feeling.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yi's consciousness gradually recovered.
As soon as he woke up, he felt a strong sense of restraint.
He raised his head and looked around, only to hear the sound of the collision of chains echoing in the darkness.
Lin Yi found himself tightly tied to an iron pillar by a circle of iron chains, surrounded by darkness.
He tried to exert force to break free of these chains, but no matter how hard he tried, the chains remained as strong as before, making a clicking sound, but could not be broken free.
To be precise, it is not just these iron chains that bind him, but also a powerful force of space.
At this time, other people's voices came to Lin Yi's ears, and it sounded like the second player in the national football team was cursing angrily.
Obviously, the other party was also trying to break free from the chains, but also failed.
This chain cannot be broken off simply by relying on strength. There are other forces on it that bind Lin Yi and the others.

…
After reading the instructions from Samsara Paradise, Lin Yi had a general understanding of the current situation.
Alice, the Wolf Butler, and the Demonic Servant of the Castle are all existences that he cannot fight against. What is strange is, what is the introduction to the Demonic Castle? ? ? , there are many side tasks in the castle, which shows that the castle is not small in a sense.
With a click, a magic lamp lit up above.
This magic lamp doesn't simply illuminate the room, it banishes the darkness within it.
This darkness gives off a creature-like feeling, ready to devour whatever is inside.
Lin Yi looked around and found himself in a square room of about 200 square meters.
There were 10 iron pillars standing side by side in the room, and a person was tied to each iron pillar. There were 10 people in total including Lin Yi. The iron pillar he is on is located on the left side of these 10 iron pillars.
"Push harder and it'll be faster. Come on."
"Come on, big brother."
"Big brother is mighty."
The veins on the national football boss's face popped out at this moment, and his little face turned red from holding back. It was obvious that he had exhausted all his strength.
"Ah!! Explode, little universe!"
The boss of the national football team roared angrily, concentrating all his strength on his hands bound by the iron chains, trying to break free from the strong shackles.
"Pfft--" An awkward sound broke the tense and heavy atmosphere.
The boss of the national football team coughed twice in embarrassment, "Ahem, I'm sorry, I used too much force."
The second and third players in the national football team on the side suddenly turned green.
They are now tied to iron pillars and unable to move. This embarrassing situation undoubtedly makes them more uncomfortable.
"Brother, you farted." The third player in the national football team couldn't help laughing, but was immediately glared at by the boss of the national football team.
"Shut up!" The national football boss looked away in embarrassment.
The second player in the national football team wanted to hold back his laughter, but he couldn't help it, "Third brother, don't talk. Just let us two brothers hear you. There are outsiders here, so save some face for the eldest brother, hahaha."
His loud laughter echoed in the room, suddenly attracting the attention of several people around him.
Lin Yi looked at this scene, and a thought suddenly came to his mind: Do you want to form a team with these three living treasures?
But then he shook his head again, feeling that being with these three guys would lower his IQ.
"Woof." Bubu barked. It was not bound by the iron chain, but squatted freely next to Su Xiao.
When the boss of the national football team heard Bubuwang's voice, as if he had seen a savior, he hurriedly shouted: "Good Bubu, come and help brother, brother is really helpless."
No matter how hard he tried, the chain seemed to be growing on his body and would not move at all.
At this time, in addition to the three national football brothers and Lin Yi who recognized Bubo Wang, there was also a golden and busty royal lady who also recognized Bubo Wang.
Two cat ears poked out from her blond hair, her hands were almost the same as cat paws, and her plump flesh pads looked very cute.
This is not the equipment, but her nature.
The blonde catwoman squinted her eyes slightly, the whites of her eyes turned sky blue, and the pupils were dark, much like the eyes of some kind of cat.
After she found out that Su Xiao met the three idiots of the national football team, she didn't say much, but she was always vigilant.
As for the chains on her body, she didn't seem to care.
"This silly dog." Catwoman muttered, recalling the experience of being held in front of Su Xiao by Bubuwang in cat form in the world of Naruto, she shook her head helplessly.
Her ability was so hidden that Su Xiao didn't realize that she was also a contractor at the time.
Lin Yi looked around and observed his companions who were tied to the iron pillars.
In addition to the four people on Su Xiao's left side, there are four people on his right side.
A fat man weighing more than 200 pounds, his stomach was growling, and he was obviously very hungry.
A little girl dressed as a detective, she observed the surroundings thiefly, as if she was spying on everyone, trying to find out some secret.
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he looked very calm, and whenever someone looked at him, he would respond with a polite smile.
There was also a gloomy man, who was trying his best to break free from the chains, with a hint of anxiety in his expression.
All 10 people were tied to iron pillars. If they were ordinary people, they would first ask for help and then find a way to break free from the iron chains.
But everyone is not an ordinary person, but a contractor who was killed from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. Naturally, they will not panic and shout for help like ordinary people.
"Everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Wash. From a personal perspective, I do not want to have a hostile relationship with you."
After the gold-rimmed glasses man Wash finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.
No one else responded immediately, and a subtle atmosphere of embarrassment filled the air.
