Escape the Infinite Chambers

Chapter 92 - Team Ghost Shadow (Extra)

Editor: Kitty

However, no matter how strong the strong were, in the end, they still lost to the secret chamber.

They lost at the hands of the most powerful stalker trained by the secret chamber.

They lost miserably. They clearly had the best leader, the best players, and the best team. Each of them was a person who had come out on top from hundreds of experts. Throughout everything, they supported each other, they considered multiple times before deciding every step they took. In Xing Yan’s heart, for them to fail was absolutely impossible.

Yes, they could not fail.

But in the end, they still inexplicably lost. However, they clearly had reached the final step and almost completed the final task given to them in the final secret chamber. If they had gotten through the last obstacle, they would be able to leave the secret chamber that countless people were trapped in and become.... the first humans to escape this space.

But they failed. After they killed the enemy team, got the key to escape from that space, and killed almost all the stalkers...... the last stalker appeared.

How hilarious.

In Duan Li’s memories, it felt really hilarious.

There were five members in the team Ghost Shadow, four men and one woman. Duan Li was the last member to join. Before him, there were five members in the team, but one of them was too weak and was abandoned directly by the team captain. Shortly after that, Duan Li joined the team.

Duan Li’s team captain was a typical cold-blooded, cruel, merciless, and heinous villain. He believed and enforced the supreme truth that the weak would be easy prey to the strong in his team. All the team members must meet his first basic requirement—be strong.

This ‘strong’ here did not definitely refer to physically strong, but having excellent physical strength was a basic criterion all members must meet. Even if one did not have to have the power to destroy the earth or sky, at the very least, they must have the ability to protect oneself, which also meant...... one must have the ability to survive, live, and actively grow stronger.

The most foundational ability one should have in the secret chamber was to protect oneself. This could ensure that if the whole team was in a precarious situation, if all team members were too busy to help, if no one could provide timely aid, one could also effectively save oneself. Even if one could not extract oneself from a dangerous situation, they would be able to stall until the moment rescue arrived.

When one had the ability to survive, then congratulations, only then would the team captain, Xing Yan, allow them to enter his line of sight. The second condition for them to be on his team’s roster was that one must have a special strength—in other words, a strength, a specialty.

Duan Li was able to join the team because of his speed.

In the secret chamber, all players...... if they had successfully passed the newbie trial, they could all obtain the exclusive weapon given by the secret chamber. This weapon was unique. According to their physical conditions, personalities, mental qualities, and even blood or genetic factors, everyone’s weapon would be individually made and have an unique strength.

Duan Li’s tang sword was given to him because the secret chamber set his development orientation—a chivalrous swordsman.

Although it was true that the people in the ancient Wulin were chivalrous, Duan Li’s actions were not befitting of the development orientation set by the chamber. However, he did have a Tang sword, which was also equipped with special internal mental and lightness skills. As Duan Li’s abilities matured, his specialty soon emerged, which was his unparalleled speed.

Because of this very speed, he was soon noticed by the Ghost Shadow team captain Xing Yan and recruited into the team.

But at first, Duan Li was very reluctant.

At the beginning when he first started to escape the secret chambers, almost all players went in the chambers alone, but always wandering through the secret chamber alone made one feel terrible. If one day something unfortunate happened, one would die in the secret chamber alone, in a remote corner, without anyone noticing. No one would come to save that person. How terrible would it be, for that person to die feeling lonely?

That’s right, Duan Li was also very afraid of this.

Even though he hated crowds a lot, even if he wished to act alone forever, he still could not stray too far from crowds. That was why he always joined other teams and betrayed them—solely because he was afraid.

So when Duan Li joined the Xing Yan’s team, problems cropped up. He soon refused to cooperate, act alone, or even listen to the commands and caused everyone to feel their heads ache. Then, when the conflict escalated, a battle between him and the team captain was inevitable.

Duan Li did not know Xing Yan’s strength at that time. Later, he suddenly found out that this guy might be the strongest player in the whole secret chamber.

But the strongest was actually defeated at the hands of the stalker.

This stalker wore ancient garb that looked very out of place and had long, jet-black hair. When he stood there expressionlessly, Duan Li could help but think of Xing Yan’s current expression. They all had that cold-blooded and cruel expression, and they all had that kind of powerful and incomparable strength.

It was a kind of strength so powerful that he had never seen or heard about previously.
