**Threshold Mission Melee** (门槛任务的大混战, *Ménkǎn Rènwù de Dà Hùnzhàn*) is the 38th episode of *The Legend of Luo Xiaohei*.

## Description

Xiaohei and his friends frantically fight against dozens of enemies. Things go smoothly, until a group of seven players above level 100 enter the battle. Xioahei's friends are killed one by one, until one he remains. Upon seeing Xioabai die, Xioahei begins to scream and his hair turns white once again...

## Plot

Xiaohei, Shanxin, A-Gen and Xiaobai are surrounded by more than twenty high-level enemy players. While the enemies argue about whether to attack them or not, Xioahei uses his cat-telepathy to meow and tell his friends to focus on running away. Shanxin is surprised to have understood him. Right when a enemy player named Awen is about to attack them, Hei uses his spatial abilities to make everyone escape. A-Gen holds them back with an ice wall, but a female player with a bow called Axian manages to create an explosion near them using an explosive arrow. Despite that, the group is mostly intact and keeps running around. Using her settings, Shanxin activates the warp they have left (the mission granted them two warps to a random location near their target). A-Gen creates an ice wall to protect everyone until the warp gets activated, since it requires five seconds to work, but Xioahei goes away to fight the constantly arriving enemies. At the last second, he manages to enter the warp, and everyone gets separated from the enemies two kilometers, appearing inside a forest.

With time to breathe, the group starts to run away and consider possibilities. They can’t log off mid-combat, and would need two minutes after a combat to do so. In the forest, the group is detected again, and enemies start to appear from all sides. Hei barely manages to make everyone evade their opponents using his abilities. Back at the enemy base, a player starts to conjure a magical spell. He gets some coordinates, and creates a magical beam in the forest, kilometers away from his location. The beam expands, covering Hei and all his friends. It’s an ability called “Pursuit”, which makes it so that they can’t leave battle for at least 10 minutes. Logging out becomes unrealistic, so Shanxin says they need to counter-attack. She checks the map while running, and leads the group towards an area with complex geography.

They reach a series of rock formations. There, Xioahei begins to kill the enemies using his metal control, manipulating their weapons. A-Gen also attacks using his ice. Around ten enemies are quickly defeated. Using her settings, Shanxin marks four enemies who could be the target they’re looking for: if they defeat it, they’ll be able to level up again. Xioahei quickly defeats enemy after enemy, and their opponents decide to fight only using players above level 60. Eventually, Xiaohei manages to defeat their target, and everyone levels up once again.

The battle continues, but now each kill grants them more power. Things seem to be changing for the good, but then, the strongest enemy appears: it’s a woman named Sansan, who is level 145. She doesn’t seem to have any spiritual ability, relying only on his ability with a knife. She cuts off A-Gen’s left arm, but Shanxin grows it back, and everyone leaves, leaving Xiaohei to deal with Sansan. The two have a tense sword fight, but Xioahei realizes Sansan is protected by a magic barrier, and can’t be easily cut down. He surpasses her in fighting skill and begins to attack her body, but his sword is unable to penetrate her barrier, and the sword breaks down.

New enemies teleport into the arena: with levels 127, 129, 134 and 137. Eventually, a level 142 player called Xiaorui stops A-Gen, Shanxin and Xiaobai, leaving them no place to run away. He immediately defeats A-Gen, killing him. Xiaobai attacks him with fireballs, but they bear no effect. Before he can reach the girls, however, Xioahei appears and moves him back, fiercely attacking him with swords. They run again, but the level 137 player (called Geshao) appears and kills Shanxin with one swift sword attack.

Now only Xiaobai and Xiaohei remain... The lady with the bow, Axian, appears to attack them, creating a distraction that allows Hei to be attacked by the level 134 player, who’s called Liusuan. The level 129 player, called Luanbu, takes Xiaobai hostage, and everyone surrounds Xiaohei, including Sansan. Xioahei can’t find any easy way out… Xiaobai smiles and tells him to not die, before being quickly killed by the enemy player. This shocks Xioahei, who starts screaming, and whose hair turns white.
