Chapter 407 I survived!
Chapter 407 I survived!
"Hahaha...hahaha! I survived! I survived!"
A thief named Zhao Mazi suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, then started crying as he laughed.
"It was Lin Tian... Boss Lin Tian didn't kill us?"
Some people looked up at the figure atop the broken pillar, which resembled a demon god, with trembling eyes, filled with awe and lingering fear.
"No...it's not that he didn't kill them, it's just that the time came! It just happened!"
A relatively calm mage, Zhou Wen, reacted and shouted excitedly.
"The event is over! We happened to be one of the last thousand people! We were lucky! We managed to squeeze in before it ended!"
"That's right! The event only takes the top 1,000 from each region! We happen to be ranked between 1,000 and 1,000! No matter how powerful Lin Tian is, he can't wipe us all out before the system forces the event to end!"
Another soldier, Zheng Dali, also understood and roared with joy.
Once they understood this, an immense, almost overwhelming joy and relief engulfed the last 999 players (1,000 including Lin Tian).
"Waaaah... I survived..."
"Mom, I advanced!"
"Thank you, system! Thank you, God!"
"Long live Boss Lin Tian! Oh no... Boss, spare my life!"
"We won! We've advanced!"
Cheers, cries, and hysterical shouts filled the air.
They embraced and jumped for joy, even though they might be complete strangers, or even rivals just a moment ago. But at this moment, they shared a profound sense of shared experience of the catastrophe and their miraculous escape.
They knew very well that their survival had nothing to do with strength, skill, or equipment.
It was pure luck!
It just so happens that at the very moment the event ends, you are among the survivors (or the system determines that you are among them)!
They were the lucky ones who, amidst a pile of corpses and on the edge of the shadow of Lin Tian, the ultimate killing god, managed to escape with their lives.
Lin Tian glanced at his ranking, which was undoubtedly at the top and whose score was frighteningly high.
"Luck is also a part of ability."
He muttered to himself in a low voice, which could be considered as the final footnote to this one-sided massacre.
Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
A soft white light descended from the sky, enveloping every survivor, including Lin Tian.
Amidst the sobs and smiles of the last player, Sun Xiaomei (a timid priest who hid behind a rock at the farthest point and barely moved throughout the entire match), the figures of all one thousand surviving players in the 58th Division gradually faded and disappeared into the raging canyon soaked in blood and death.
They were teleported back to the starting area.
What awaits them is the next round of unknown challenges.
For Lin Tian, this was just the beginning.
......
[System notification: Welcome back to the beginner's world.]
[System notification: You have completed the first round (survival elimination round) of the "Battle for Supremacy" qualifiers.]
[System notification: Your final ranking in Region 58 is: XXX.]
[System notification: The time for the next round of the competition will be announced later.]
After the familiar slight dizziness subsided, my feet once again touched solid, familiar ground.
The ceaseless howling winds and bloody battles of the Gale Canyon were no longer in their ears; instead, they were filled with the bustling sounds of the newbie continent, the calls of NPC merchants in the distance, and the fresh scent of a gentle breeze across the grassland.
The public channels of the entire new player continent, especially the area where returning players gather in the 58th region, have completely exploded at this moment!
It's like throwing a red-hot iron into cold water, causing it to boil instantly!
"I'm back! I'm back alive!"
"My God... I thought I was going to die..."
"My gear! My top-tier equipment is destroyed! I'm heartbroken!"
"Be grateful, brother, it's good enough that he's back!"
"That last move, Boss Lin Tian raised his hand! I almost peed my pants! But then the system ended! Hahaha, thank goodness!"
The gasps of relief from survivors, shouts of joy, wails of lost equipment, and discussions of the final, harrowing moments mingled together, creating a noisy sea of voices.
Soon, the conversation inevitably turned to that name that left an indelible impression on everyone, even causing psychological trauma.
[Wang Tiezhu]: "Damn it, my legs are still weak! You guys have no idea, we were hiding under a pile of rocks, thinking we were well concealed, but then Boss Lin Tian just flattened us and the rocks from above! Our guild leader turned green and yelled that we were done for, and the next second we really were all done for!"
Wang Tiezhu, originally an ordinary member of the "Black Stone" guild, was fortunate enough to be teleported out of the competition area at the last moment in the Stone Mound Cave because he was on the edge and had a special item. He barely survived, but the main force of the guild was wiped out.
[Li Ergou] (replying to Wang Tiezhu): "You guys at least saw someone! Our 'Flying Eagle' team had just sneaked into the edge of the central area, trying to find a place to ambush, when suddenly a meteor shower started falling from the sky! It was the kind of light that falls down with stars in it! It covered a huge area! There were more than a dozen of us, and before we even knew what was happening, we were all turned into white light! I didn't even see a shadow of Boss Lin Tian! I only found out later that it was him who released the skill!"
Li Ergou, a member of the solo player team, died from the overwhelming attack of [Starry Sky Storm].
[Zhao Ling'er]: "Sigh, you guys are all lucky, at least you know how you died. Our 'Cuiwei' guild has over three hundred members. We were chased like peas in the canyon by a bunch of howling harpies. We finally managed to escape and tried to get into the safe zone, but at the entrance, it seemed like we crashed into an invisible wall, and then a flash of light... and that was it. To this day, I still don't know who did it or if we triggered some kind of trap."
Zhao Ling'er, a member of the "Cuiwei" guild, died from Lin Tian's combination of "Shinra Tensei" and "Star Ray".
[Qian Duoduo] (replying to Zhao Ling'er): "Ling'er, you're a classic example of being 'casually' wiped out by Boss Lin Tian. I was in a similar situation. Our team was walking along a small path when suddenly a hole was melted into the mountainside, a beam of light shot out, and two of us were gone. We didn't even know where the enemy was! Later, someone on the regional channel said they saw Lin Tian passing by in that direction... Where can we even begin to complain?!"
[Sun Hao]: "Don't even mention it... We, [Glory Banner], more than two thousand people... at the Stone Forest, just because he glanced at us, we were still not convinced and wanted to fight... as a result, he raised his hand once, just once... more than two hundred of us, front row and back row, were wiped out... that wasn't some skill at all... that was divine punishment..." Sun Hao's tone in the channel revealed a weakness and fear lingering fear.
