Chapter 2230: Blocking the Door

Painful Queen Anna just appeared, and the Hunting Dragon Spider wanted to rush forward to greet her, but Anna merely glanced at it, and this glutton behaved, continuing to stand guard before the Golden Gate.

"Lady Anna, as the first to arrive, do we get no extra benefits?"

Bahamut landed on the banquet table, indicating that even the dishes were not yet served.

"How regrettable."

Anna's voice was soft and gentle as she stepped forward and sat at the head of the banquet table, beginning to wait.

Wanting to continue the next round of the death game, clearly they must wait for other participants to arrive, or for someone to die—not mentioning others, Mond certainly does not die so easily.

Su Xiao took out the Death Coin from his pocket; this equipment, after being enhanced by Anna's ability, had its attributes changed.

Cursed Coin

Origin: Void·Death House

Type: Special Equipment

Note: This equipment has had its restrictions lifted and will burn out after the Hunter leaves the Death House.

Equipment Effect: Fate's Echo (Active), toss this coin; if it lands heads after falling, gain a buff; if tails, suffer a debuff, this process ignores the Luck attribute.

Buff Effect (Random):

1. Permanently increase Luck attribute by 1 point (can trigger up to three times).

2. Recover 50 HP per second, effect lasts 30 minutes (no limit on trigger count).

3. Shadow Stone (Shadow Stone can only be used inside the Death House; after leaving, it will be reclaimed, no limit on trigger count).

Debuff Effect (Random):

1. Temporarily reduce Luck attribute by 15 points, effect lasts 1 hour, this effect can stack.

2. Be hunted by the 'Glutton Beast' for 1 hour (if triggered multiple times, hunted by multiple Glutton Beasts, and duration can stack).

Note: Fate's Echo (Active) has no cost.

Note: Fate's Echo (Active) cooldown is 30 minutes.

Introduction: Use it wisely before it burns out completely.

Sale Price: Cannot be sold.

……

The Cursed Coin has changed greatly; it is now burning out, and after Su Xiao leaves the Death House, it will disappear.

This is worthwhile; Su Xiao can again increase his Luck attribute via the Cursed Coin, and it can permanently increase by up to 3 points.

As for the second buff state, HP recovery speed increased, not much change, only duration extended, allowing multiple accumulations.

Lastly, the Shadow Stone—temporarily unknown what it is, but its effect should be great, usable only inside the Death House.

The debuff state has been reduced; the temporary Luck -15 effect, previously lasting 48 hours, is now reduced to 1 hour.

The second debuff state is being hunted by the 'Glutton Beast'; Su Xiao is currently inside the banquet hall, not too worried the Glutton Beast will reach him here.

Ding~

Su Xiao tossed the Cursed Coin into the air; it spun slowly in midair, finally stopping one meter above the ground, thorns blooming upward, tails up.

Note: The Hunter is about to be hunted by the 'Glutton Beast'.

Su Xiao began waiting, wanting to confirm whether, inside the banquet hall, he would be hunted by that monster called the Glutton Beast.

That is, a few minutes later, Su Xiao heard heavy footsteps, and finally, those heavy footsteps stopped before the Golden Gate.

Su Xiao looked toward the Golden Gate; the double doors were wide open, and outside, stood a humanoid creature about four meters tall, its belly round and rolling, wrapped in iron chains, some chains sunk into flesh, making its flesh blurred.

The Glutton Beast had no head; at the center of its obese yet sturdy torso was a fissure, from which several uneven sharp teeth protruded.

And in the Glutton Beast's hand, it held a wide-bladed great axe stained with blood, the blood long dried.

Rather than calling it a Glutton Beast, calling it 'Axe Brother' would be more fitting; its aura is only slightly weaker than the Hunting Dragon Spider's, fortunately its speed is not fast—belonging to the type where not being caught by it is fine, but once caught, one must consider how to die more peacefully.

The blood-stained Axe Brother paced outside the door, its target clearly Su Xiao, yet it could not enter the banquet hall.

Seeing this, Su Xiao prepared to continue, tossing the Cursed Coin every half hour, he did not believe other participants could reach the banquet hall in a short time.

Meanwhile, the Labyrinth of the Dead.

Gray mist shrouded above the Labyrinth of the Dead, within the labyrinth came a sudden rush of footsteps.

"Where is the exit!!"

A roar echoed far away; Mond was sprinting through the labyrinth, and behind him, a group of black-skinned, four-clawed running monsters pursued, conservatively estimated at several hundred.

Mond had nearly driven himself mad; after being thrown into the labyrinth, he had tried every method, such as marking, relying on memory to remember minute changes in surroundings, etc.

Unfortunately, none of these were of any use; he hadn't escaped the labyrinth, not to mention, instead he attracted a group of black-skinned monsters, and worse, these monsters could not be killed—cut in half, they split into two; crushed flat, they split into a swarm.

Mond led a large group of splitting monsters in a frantic run through the labyrinth; just as he passed a corner, ahead in the labyrinth he saw two people.

"We..."

"..."

Just as the three met, they became mutually wary; Mond encountered not others, but Shangyue and Nita, among whom Nita's face was deathly pale, with a faint scent of blood on her body.

After a brief standoff, Mond charged toward the two.

"Featherfolk, is he friend or foe?"

"Foe."

Shangyue certainly could not cooperate with the Demon Clan; the two clans are currently at war, and under the current circumstances, not being enemies is already good.

Boom—

The ground began to tremble; at the corner behind Mond, a large group of splitting monsters surged out.

"Don't come over!"

Nita screamed until her voice broke; Shangyue beside her turned and fled, Nita immediately transformed into a leopard and began to run.

A miraculous scene appeared: Shangyue and Nita ran ahead, Mond chased behind, and further behind was a dense swarm of splitting monsters.

A feather sliced through the air, striking toward Mond's head.

Bang!

Mond tilted his head back, his forward stride not stopping in the slightest.

After that feather bounced away, Shangyue and Nita, who were running ahead, began using various abilities, attempting to blast Mond back.

After a series of booms, Mond did not retaliate, but he also did not stop for a single step.

The desperate thing that happened to Shangyue and Nita was that even if Mond was bombarded by their abilities, he still ran faster than them.

"Hahahaha..."

After that wild laugh, Mond strode past Shangyue and Nita.

But just then, Mond felt the ground beneath his right foot sink slightly—this was stepping on a mechanism!

A metal rod suddenly shot out from a hole in the wall, directly horizontal in front of Mond.

Clang!

The impact sound was extremely loud, even with a shockwave spreading. Mond, having charged too fast and with his own strength too great, his entire body flipped several times in the air before landing with a plop on the ground.

Shangyue and Nita rushed past Mond's side, and in the next moment, one after another, the black-skinned split monsters submerged Mond within them.

Nita returned to her human form, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Keep running."

Shangyue's voice, full of helplessness, came through; Nita merely turned her head to glance once, and she was nearly scared witless.

Behind them, Mond, with over a dozen split monsters clinging to his body, strode forward toward the two.

Shangyue and Nita continued to rush forward, but soon, a horrifying scene appeared.

Bang!

A black ball flew past beside them—it was indeed a split monster that Mond had rolled into a ball.

"I want to go home."

Nita's voice carried a sob; she felt that in this labyrinth, that demon tribe member was the most terrifying monster.

Banquet Hall.

Su Xiao tossed the cursed gold coin in his hand, his eyelids drooping; he had already used this thing four times, gaining nothing, yet it had drawn four axe brothers blocking the door.

The four axe brothers were loitering outside the door; judging by their appearance, if this place weren't the banquet hall, they would have already rushed in—no single axe brother could be hard-pressed, let alone four working together.

Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang sneaked over to the Golden Gate, and the four axe brothers simultaneously locked onto it.

Pop-pop-pop...

"Ow ow! (Don't mess with me)"

Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang was scared half to death, hurriedly running back, but because its hind legs twitched too violently, its legs were clearly uncoordinated.

Su Xiao waited five minutes, the cursed gold coin's cooldown ended, and he did not believe he could get a fifth axe brother.

Ding~

The cursed gold coin flew up, soon fell down, sun facing up, front side.

Obtained Shadow Stone x1.
