F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 186 Legendary Item: Phoenix Heart, grants 3 resurrections per day.

The moment the vortex opened, the entire basin came alive.

No one cares about Liu Cang, Chen Yifan, or Li Yang anymore.

Naked greed surged from tens of thousands of eyes.

Like a flood that has been held back for a long time, it has finally found an outlet.

"It's open! It's open!"

"Charge!"

"Stop fucking pushing! Who stepped on my foot?!"

After a deafening roar, everyone surged toward the dark entrance to the vortex.

The top mercenary groups relied on their formidable strength.

With its advantageous geographical location, it was the first to rush into the vortex and disappear from sight.

Following closely behind are the top players among second- and third-rate teams and lone wolves.

They each displayed their unique abilities, some even emitting a burst of spiritual light that accelerated their progress.

Some are even more brutal, directly activating their charge skill to knock over any unfortunate person blocking their way.

However, those who trample on the rules will not find a shortcut, but will face death.

boom! boom! boom!

Several more muffled thuds of heads exploding.

Several professionals who were rampaging through the crowd didn't even have time to scream before their heads exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

A pungent, bloody odor filled the air.

The scene fell silent.

Everyone was horrified as they recalled the ironclad rule established by that master.

"Line up! Enter one by one!"

"If another conflict breaks out, you'll be the next ones to die!"

Liu Cang's icy, piercing voice seemed to ring directly in everyone's ears.

This time, no one dared to cause trouble again.

Everyone was like a tamed wild beast, scrambling to get ahead.

Yet they dared not cross the line, and quickly formed a long, winding queue in front of the entrance.

"Fanzi! Let's go too! If we're any later, we won't get any soup!"

Wang Fugui was sweating profusely as he watched the rapidly growing queue.

"No rush."

Chen Yifan grabbed him.

His voice was soft, but what he said next instantly pierced Wang Fugui's fanatical mind.

"Let them scout ahead and test the waters first."

His gaze swept over the professionals whose faces were filled with greed and desire, and a cold glint flashed deep in his eyes.

"We're here to level up, not to die."

"When we go in is up to us."

Lin Xiaoyu nodded silently and subconsciously moved closer to Chen Yifan.

That small space seemed to isolate it from all the madness and noise of the outside world.

Looking at Chen Yifan's face, which seemed out of place with the surrounding atmosphere, Wang Fugui's anxious heart gradually calmed down.

He scratched his head and gave a simple, honest smile.

"Hehe, that's true... I'll listen to you."

In half an hour, the basin, which was originally packed with people, became completely empty.

Only a few weak and hesitant lone warriors remained, along with this strange trio.

Liu Cang's figure had long since disappeared from the giant rock in the distance.

Chen Yifan led the two to an inconspicuous corner at the edge of the basin. After confirming that no one was around, he set up a simple mental barrier.

The most precious treasures should never be opened in front of others.

After doing all this, he slowly closed his eyes and focused his mind on the beginner's backpack.

There, a newly acquired trophy floats silently.

It was a fragment of a heart.

It is no bigger than a thumb and has a dreamy, glassy gold color all over.

Its surface radiates a divine glow that is visible to the naked eye.

Each pulse seems to whisper the secret of "immortality".

【Title: Phoenix Heart (Fragment)】

[Quality: Legendary, Unique (1/3)]

[Attributes: Constitution +200, Spirit +200, All Elemental Resistance +30%]

【Special Effect 1: Rebirth (Passive) - When you suffer fatal damage, you can consume 20 Core Energy from this item to revive. This effect can trigger a maximum of 30 times per day. (Current Core Energy: 0/100, regenerates 1 Core Energy per minute.)】

[Special Effect 3: ??? (Unlocked after collecting all three fragments)]

[Description: A fragment of a heart, imbued with immortal divinity, yearns to be reunited. When you gather them all, you may glimpse the true secret of 'immortality'.]

When those lines of golden text merged into my consciousness.

Chen Yifan felt a powerful current of life surging out from the heart fragment, instantly flowing through his limbs and bones!

Legendary!

And it's the only one!

A daily resurrection limit of 30 lives?!

This is no longer a simple resurrection item.

This is a genuine "immortality" contract!

No wonder Li Yang dared to be so arrogant and boastful after being killed by a Grandmaster for the first time.

With such a trump card, anyone with a weak mind would have the illusion that they are immortal, thus becoming infinitely arrogant.

pity……

A cold smile silently curved Chen Yifan's lips.

That fool probably never knew until his death that he possessed the immortality he was so proud of.

His greatest asset.

At the moment when he was first resurrected, when his mental defenses were at their weakest.

It had already been completely stolen by the "lucky thief" in his eyes.

His second outburst, his second challenge, was nothing more than a complete farce, staged with his life.

He slowly opened his eyes, and in those unfathomable eyes, there was only a calm and undisturbed composure.

This [Heart of the Phoenix] will become his most powerful trump card for survival for a long time to come.

It is also his greatest asset that allows him to dance on the edge of a knife and explore the deeper secrets of this world.

"Let's go."

Chen Yifan bound it without hesitation, then stood up and dusted himself off.

Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu immediately followed.

The three of them walked unhurriedly toward the still slowly rotating dark vortex.

The closer you get, the more you can feel a chaotic and powerful energy aura emanating from another dimension rushing towards you.

The aura contained a strange smell, a mixture of sulfur, rotting flesh and metal ore.

Standing in front of the entrance, Wang Fugui looked at the bottomless darkness and couldn't help but swallow.

"Fanzi, do you think... it's really possible to be resurrected here?"

"I think so."

Chen Yifan was unsure.

"But there's no such thing as a free lunch."

His gaze seemed to pierce through the darkness, revealing a cold, hidden price beneath the rules.

He was the first to step into that deep darkness.

"Let's go see this so-called 'paradise'..."

Is it really another entrance to hell?
