Chapter 148 – Rescue the princess, perfect clearance


The slightly bald man stumbled forward a few steps and fell to the ground with a thud.

This fall was quite solid.

Blood quickly overflowed from his body.

Swish!

The three men in sunglasses stopped in astonishment, as if someone had pressed the pause button. They looked at the body of the slightly bald man, and cold sweat instantly soaked their bodies.

Dead?

He’s dead just like that?

Damn it, when they kill an ant, they still have to step on it, but it’s not this fast!

The bronze sword was extremely sharp because it was made by a master swordsmith. It didn’t get stained with blood, so when it flew through the air, the blood on the blade was shaken off.

It drew a beautiful arc and flew back to Lin Baici’s side.

Snap!

Lin Baici raised his hand and caught it, looking at the three men in sunglasses.

“Do you choose death? Or do you want to pay five hundred meteor coins?”

Lin Baici asked calmly, as if he was facing kindergarten children, one punch each.

“Fuck!”

The transgender person was completely shocked.

He knew that Lin Baici should be strong, but he didn’t expect him to be this outrageous.

After all, the profession of divine hunters requires time to explore the God’s Ruins, accumulate equipment, divine blessings, and combat experience.

Lin Baici was too young, and it was a question whether he even had a full beard. But the result was so fierce!

The transgender person suspected that Lin Baici might be a battle-hardened dragon-level expert who had become young through some divine taboo.

The dwarf had seen Lin Baici’s performance in battle before, so he was not surprised at all.

He was a man whom even Xia Hongmian’s sister listened to obediently.

When Lin Baici saw that the three men didn’t react, he shrugged.

“Since you choose to kill to pass the test, then you shouldn’t complain if you get killed, right?”

Lin Baici’s expression was calm, and his eyes were somewhat profound. “I gradually understand the meaning of the phrase ‘survival of the fittest.’”

The transgender person felt that when Lin Baici said this, he seemed like a wise man.

But the dwarf thought Lin Baici was super cool.

He also wanted to be so dominant in the world of divine hunters, to be superior, the king of kings, instead of performing magic tricks in a bar.

The three men in sunglasses were in a panic.

Because when Lin Baici looked at them, it seemed like he was choosing the next target!

The man in sunglasses wanted to run. He felt that he couldn’t beat Lin Baici, so running away should be no problem. But when his gaze fell on Lin Baici’s hands, he froze.

“I surrender. I’m willing to pay five hundred meteor coins for my life.”

In order to prove his sincerity, the man in sunglasses even threw away the bone-cutting knife he had picked up.

The other two looked at him, dumbfounded.

Did you surrender so quickly?

The man in sunglasses had a bitter expression and glanced at Lin Baici’s hands.

He thought that if he didn’t surrender quickly, he would lose his life.

Those gloves, if he wasn’t mistaken, should belong to Chen Fujiang.

The man in sunglasses had teamed up with him before and was deeply impressed by the tremendous power Chen Fujiang had unleashed. Now, thinking about Lin Baici’s casual throw of the monster’s body just now, he realized that he couldn’t afford to mess with him.

“We don’t have that many meteor coins!”

The two decided to surrender because without the strong teammate in sunglasses, their hope of grabbing first place and clearing the level had become very slim.

“You can owe it!”

Lin Baici wanted to buy his life, including casually raising the price. He didn’t expect them to agree?

Then he wouldn’t be polite.

The transgender person watched this scene and hesitated whether to proactively add another thousand meteor coins. Otherwise, if they waited for Lin Baici to ask, it wouldn’t look good for everyone’s face.

But Lin Baici wasn’t as greedy as the transgender person had expected.

After dealing with these few people, he walked to the monster’s corpse, squatted down, and began to skin and bone it.

“Lin God, let me do it!”

The man in sunglasses volunteered.

“You can’t handle it!”

Lin Baici refused. What if the man in sunglasses accidentally damaged the patterns on the bones?

“…”

The man in sunglasses thought, what’s so difficult about dissecting a corpse?

But after seeing Lin Baici’s next actions, he was shocked.

Lin Baici separated the ribs from the corpse, and after a few scrapes, the ribs were clean without a trace of flesh, and there were no scratches or damage.

It was truly a master at work.This kid’s ancestors must have been butchers for three generations, right? The genes of a butcher are in his bones.

Soon, the man in sunglasses no longer cared about these details because he saw a map on the bones that Lin Baici had picked out.

“Is this a map?”

The transgender person exclaimed.

“Yeah!”

Lin Baici tried to piece it together, but it was still missing a lot, so he collected all the ribs: “Let’s go, let’s go kill monsters!”

Now there are free bodyguards.

It should be much easier.

“This kid has so many good things on him!”

The man in sunglasses sighed, envious.

He had previously speculated that Lin Baici had a spatial divine taboo on him, and now it was confirmed.

Because there were so many ribs, it was impossible to fit them all into his backpack, but now they were nowhere to be seen, as if there was nothing inside.

With five bodyguards, Lin Baici’s efficiency in killing monsters greatly increased. The problem now was how to find monsters as quickly as possible.

There was nothing Lin Baici could do except rely on luck and his unique ability.

Everyone wandered around in the maze like this.

Lin Baici held a megaphone and played a sentence on loop.

“If you want to survive, come over quickly!”

A few people heard this voice and came over. When they saw another group of people, they were worried, but after confirming that Lin Baici wouldn’t kill them, they felt relieved and chose to join this team.

Of course, it was only for those who hadn’t killed anyone.

The man in sunglasses saw that Lin Baici didn’t ask these people for meteor coins and felt depressed. If I had known this, I would have invested in you the first time I saw you.

Over an hour later, Xia Hongyao and the girl in leather pants finally heard this voice.

“It’s Xiaolinzi!”

Xia Hongyao was excited. This was Lin Baici’s voice: “Let’s go!”

“The captain is so domineering!”

The girl in leather pants was envious.

People without strength wouldn’t dare to do this because it would attract powerful people or monsters. Only Lin Baici had no fear.

Five minutes later, Xia Hongyao and the girl in leather pants saw Lin Baici.

“What’s going on? Why are there so many people?”

The girl in leather pants was confused. Wasn’t this level about fighting each other to snatch the map? Why does it look like they’re living in peace now?

As time passed, Lin Baici’s temporary team grew to fifteen people. Under his command, they began hunting monsters.

Little Book Pavilion

Three more hours passed, and all the map fragments were collected.

Everyone looked at the completed map and was very excited.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Baici asked the man in sunglasses to lead the way.

“Interesting!”

The maid drank her happy water and was very interested in Lin Baici.

She had already hosted many “Save the Princess” levels, and some people had discovered the secrets hidden in the maze walls through the engravings.

They killed monsters and collected map fragments, but they didn’t bring others along.

Because everyone wanted to be the winner.

Especially in a place without laws and moral constraints, a person’s true nature was magnified infinitely. So the maid thought that this human was a good person.

Isn’t that what a hero is?

The maid saw that Lin Baici and the others relied on the map and reached the final level.

The exit of the maze was a giant door.

“Go open it!”

Lin Baici ordered the man in sunglasses.

“Why is it me again?”

The man in sunglasses wanted to complain, but he didn’t dare. He could only walk to the front of the door and push hard.

Creak!

The rusty door hinge made a grating sound.

The door slowly opened.

It was dark inside, and it looked like a large hall. There were bronze lampstands on the walls, with some candles lit on top.

They emitted a dim light, making this place look like a demon’s lair, giving people a sense of unease.

Everyone was originally prepared to observe a little longer, but suddenly screams came from inside.

“Help!”

“Go in!”

Lin Baici urged and led everyone into the hall. They hadn’t gone far when they saw a monster that walked upright, covered in brown fur, at least two meters tall, chasing after a young girl.

The girl was wearing a white princess dress, like the Western-style wedding dress a bride would wear, especially the skirt, which was very fluffy.

But because she was running for her life, the princess dress on the girl was already torn and stained.

When she saw Lin Baici and the others, she immediately ran towards them.

“Help!”

The girl screamed in a pitiful manner, tears streaming down her beautiful face, making people feel pity.

“Save her quickly!”

The man in sunglasses shouted, and the others were also excited and ready to fight.

As long as they killed this monster, they should succeed.

“Wait!”

Lin Baici stopped them.

Swish!

Everyone stopped and looked at Lin Baici.

“Lin God, what’s wrong?”

The transgender person asked softly.

“This princess is too beautiful!”

Lin Baici stared at the girl. She was as beautiful as if she had walked out of a fairy tale. She was indescribable with words.

You should know that Lin Baici had recently made friends with various women, each with their own unique qualities. Jin Yingzhen was hot and sexy, Hua Yueyu was cute and sweet, Xia Hongyao was innocent and had a big chest…

Lin Baici considered himself to have a certain immunity to beautiful women, but when he saw this girl, he still felt moved. He thought it would be great if she were his girlfriend.

Of course, the most important thing was that she was unrealistically beautiful!”In fairy tales, princesses are supposed to be beautiful!”

Xia Hongyao said confidently.

“The maid said that the princess’s characteristic is ugliness!”

Lin Baici looked at the monster.

Roar!

The monster looked at these unexpected guests and let out a loud roar. It wanted to attack, but each of these people looked fierce and terrifying, making it fearful.

The girl rushed over and threw herself into Lin Baici’s arms, hugging him.

“It’s my father…,”

Before the girl could finish saying, “Did my father send you to save me?” Lin Baici quickly grabbed the girl’s arm and pulled her away from him.

The girl immediately burst into tears, looking at Lin Baici with sorrow.

“The maid was just using figurative language when she said that, right?”

The man with sunglasses explained, “Otherwise, what else could it be? It’s impossible for this monster to be the princess, right?”

Roar!

The monster roared, pacing back and forth, wanting to attack but hesitating. It pulled a candlestick from the wall and threw it at the princess.

Bang!

Lin Baici waved his hand and sent the candlestick flying.

“The maid said the princess is ugly, but she didn’t say that it’s not human, right?”

The transgender person analyzed.

“But the maid also didn’t say that the princess is human!”

Lin Baici narrowed his eyes, looked down at the princess, and then glanced at the monster.

Trouble!

What should he choose?

What if there’s no trap and he’s just overthinking…

“The final level has arrived. Please kill the monster and rescue the princess within one minute. If you fail, the masters will be punished!”

60!

59!

The maid started the countdown.

Just as the man with sunglasses was about to urge Lin Baici to kill the monster quickly, he saw Lin Baici suddenly extend his left hand and grab the princess by the neck. Then, he swiftly drew a bronze sword from his right hand and pierced her chest.

Plop!

Crimson blood flowed out, splattering on the white princess dress like blooming flowers.

“What the hell are you doing?”

The man with sunglasses felt his scalp go numb, completely shocked.

“Lin God!”

“What’s going on?”

The others were also shocked. If it weren’t for Lin Baici’s strength, they would have already cursed at him or even attacked him.

They were about to win, so why did he kill the princess?

Are you seriously ill?

The princess struggled, but Lin Baici’s hand around her neck was firm. He held the sword hilt in his right hand, twisted it forcefully, pulled it out, and then stabbed her again.

Splat!

Drops of blood splattered on the floor, creating a mottled pattern.

“The princess is dead, mission failed. You all have failed to escape the underground dungeon. In ten seconds, punishment will be administered!”

The maid’s emotionless voice sounded.

Ten!

Nine!

A woman, listening to the countdown, became desperate and swung her bone-cutting knife like a madwoman, attacking Lin Baici.

Xia Hongyao stepped in to intercept, but Lin Baici reacted faster.

A flying stone hit the woman’s head.

Bang!

Her skull shattered, and the splattered blood and brain matter landed on the faces of several nearby people, instantly freezing their moods.

After entering the main hall, Lin Baici had already activated the red rolling stone, allowing the red clay golem to hide and wait in the darkness.

“Hey, just accept your fate!”

The man with sunglasses sighed.

This was how it was when you relied on others. Life and death decisions depended on the choices of those you relied on. If he made the wrong choice, everyone would die.

If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being strong enough.

The woman’s death made everyone too afraid to even utter a word of complaint against Lin Baici, let alone vent their anger.

One!

Zero!

“The countdown is over, punishment begins. Goodbye!”

The maid announced.

“In my next life, I won’t be a divine hunter anymore!”

“I won’t save money anymore. If I have it, I’ll spend it!”

“I want to go to a massage parlor and have a feast, or go to a bathhouse and have a good time. I’ve lived too obediently in this life.”

Each person had different thoughts swirling in their minds, reminiscing about the most regretful things in their lives.

Tick-tock! Tick-tock!

The second hand steadily ticked thirty times, but death did not come.

“Huh?”

The transgender person was astonished. “Why?”

“Could it be that the maid had a change of heart and decided to spare us?”

The dwarf was excited.

“If she wants to spare anyone, it would be the captain, right?”

The woman in leather pants felt that Lin Baici was the most outstanding and the one most likely to be spared by the maid.

Seeing this, Lin Baici breathed a sigh of relief.

He guessed correctly.

This princess was the monster, and the monster in front of him was the real princess, the target they had to save in this mission.

“What’s going on?”

Someone didn’t understand.

“It’s obvious. The ‘punishment’ the maid mentioned earlier was a joke!”

The boss lady arrived.

“Aunt Su!”

Xia Hongyao greeted her.

“A joke?”

Everyone frowned. This explanation was not impossible.

“Haha, were you scared to the point of seeing a slideshow in your mind?”

The maid laughed heartily.

These people thought they were going to die, so they had various reactions. It was interesting that only Lin Baici, Xia Hongyao, and Aunt Su remained calm.

It seemed that next time, they would have to prepare even more realistic game levels for them.

“So, Lin God made the right choice? This princess is actually a monster?”

The transgender person was overjoyed.

“That’s right!”After the maid finished speaking, she was curious about Lin Baici’s choice, “Why are you so certain?”

To be honest, she was also startled by Lin Baici’s reaction just now.

In many previous games, some people had noticed the princess’s abnormality. When her one-minute death countdown began, almost everyone would be torn.

Who should they kill?

Lin Baici was the first one, without any hesitation, to take action directly.

“I wasn’t sure at first, but your arbitrary countdown to kill the monster was a clear attempt to cover up. More importantly, the monster on the other side didn’t run!” Lin Baici explained.

“What do you mean?” Xia Hongyao didn’t understand.

“Normally, everyone would kill the monster to save the princess. There’s no need to set a time limit. Even if there is, one minute is too short, it’s unreasonable.” The boss lady explained.

And the monster on the other side, obviously intelligent, could have run away and dragged out the minute, causing the enemy to die, but it didn’t.

“I’m very satisfied with your performance!” The maid praised, then announced.

“Congratulations, Lin Baici, for successfully clearing ‘Escape from the Dungeon’ and winning first place. You now have the right to decide the life and death of these people!”

Whoosh!

Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Baici, their eyes full of pleading, especially the men in sunglasses, who were just short of kneeling down to Lin Baici.

The dwarf and the woman in leather pants felt they were safe.

“Little Lin, well done!” Xia Hongyao patted Lin Baici’s shoulder, feeling proud.

My Lin Baici is just that awesome!

Lin Baici’s gaze swept over these people. Under the influence of the rule pollution, his words now were absolute commands. So whoever he wanted to die, wouldn’t live to see the dawn!
