Chapter 286: The Final Checkpoint Game Begins! Not Unwilling to Help, Just Unable to Help!

Su Yang breathed slowly, feeling the dry air enter his nose, his eyes flickering.

Looking out, the densely packed tombstones were neatly arranged, like a well‑trained army.

Not long ago, thousands of restless souls crawled out from this place.

After completing the rescue work, they returned here.

"Tang Hui, you're really bold, still daring to show up?" Li Zhangge said coldly upon seeing it.

"I know you want to kill me, but you can't, and you never will," Tang Hui said fearlessly, standing up, dusting himself off, and flashing a triumphant laugh.

That face was truly detestable; everyone present had tasted his scheming.

Especially Lai Siyiao, who suffered greatly.

She could barely forget how she became the 'Faceless One.'

Clack!

She shot forward like an arrow released, racing at breakneck speed to Tang Hui.

Gripping a knife, she slashed fiercely at his neck.

The attack caught him completely off guard!

Yet Tang Hui did not retreat a step, still holding a Smile.

A faint hint of sarcasm lingered at the Corner of Eye.

"Not dodging?" Qin Weiyang thought something was wrong.

In the next instant, an illusory arm sprang from the ground, gripping Lai Siyiao's wrist with perfect precision.

No matter how hard she strained, she could not move further.

"What is this?" Lai Siyiao struggled, unable to break free of the control.

"How dare you kill in a tomb, you have such gall!" Tang Hui snarled, lifting his foot to kick Lai Siyiao to the ground.

Accompanied by a muffled grunt, her complexion turned pale instantly.

The moment it touched the ground, the illusory arm vanished without a trace.

Tang Hui planted a foot on her head, looked at Su Yang, "Our First Place, this Checkpoint… how do you plan to play it?"

The others watched his increasingly Crazy expression, their brows furrowing even deeper.

"Get out of the way!"

Lai Siyiao wielded a Small Knife, slashing his ankle; blood sprayed, splattering the tombstones.

Just as Tang Hui retracted his foot, the entire space suddenly turned blood‑red.

On the blank tombstones, lines of tiny characters suddenly appeared—

... I don't want to die.

... Save me…

Tang Hui glanced at the wound, then laughed, "The game has begun; make your choices."

Lai Siyiao retreated rapidly, looking at the scene, her eyes casting an apologetic glance, "I'm sorry, I didn't know…"

"No problem, we all have to solve the puzzle anyway, a few minutes won't matter," Li Zhangge comforted.

Su Yang watched the Transform of each tombstone, feeling waves of murderous intent arise around him.

Born from blood.

At that moment, Liao Chen emerged slowly from the Dark Place, holding a small hourglass.

He tipped it onto the ground, sand grains trickling down.

"You have only ten minutes; if you exceed…"

Tang Hui's Smile vanished completely, his brow filled with a grim hue, "The outcome is death!"

Lai Siyiao felt a sudden jolt in her heart, instinctively casting a pleading glance toward Su Yang and the others.

She never imagined her impulsive act would force the Checkpoint to start.

She also didn't expect killing to be prohibited here.

No wonder Tang Hui dared to wait here; he already knew the rules like the back of his hand.

"Su Yang, what should we do?" Lai Siyiao panicked, seeking help.

Precisely locating the burial area of Wei Zeming among over a thousand tombstones was obviously a daunting task.

"You have only eight minutes left," Su Yang said, pointing a finger.

Lai Siyiao turned her head, watching the sand pile up, gritted her teeth and charged out.

When she stepped into the tomb, the murderous intent grew even stronger.

"Enjoy it fully, dear treasure hunter!"

Tang Hui stood aside, arms crossed, a mocking curve at the corner of his Mouth.

Liao Chen remained silent, his gaze constantly on Su Yang.

He deeply understood this player's terrifying nature.

Even though the two had arranged everything so perfectly and flawlessly.

The opponent still managed to reach here and even dared to challenge.

Knowing there are tigers on the mountain, yet heading straight for it.

He hadn't seen such boldness in any player until now.

Precisely because of that, Liao Chen felt Su Yang came prepared.

Especially seeing his ever‑calm demeanor, a hint of unease rose in his heart.

But that negative feeling was quickly cast far away.

The Treasure had already been moved; even if he cleared the Checkpoint, what would it matter?

Thinking of this, Liao Chen's complexion softened.

"Ya!"

Lai Siyao Sight the illusory figure emerging from the ground, screamed in fright.

Only to see the suddenly appearing wandering soul give a mischievous Laugh, then turn its head and burrow back into the earth.

She, still shaken, patted her Chest, gritted her teeth and continued searching.

The method of verification is simple: just reach out and touch the Tombstone.

If nothing occurs, it proves there is no answer here.

Lai Siyao moves extremely fast; with Innate Talent's boost, she can cover ten meters in an instant, and in the blink of an eye verifies hundreds of graves.

But the answer is unsatisfactory; the hourglass has already passed half, yet she still hasn't grasped any clue.

Trying to win by guesswork, the probability is less than one in a thousand.

"Come on!" Li Zhangge shouted loudly to encourage, anxiously shaking his leg.

Lai Siyao, like a headless fly, feels here and touches there.

From time to time, the emerging wandering souls greet her, sometimes reaching out to tap her leg.

In the increasingly tense atmosphere, Lai Siyao's urgency made Tears burst out.

"Where exactly is it…?"

Tang Hui, seeing this, gently gave a Reminder: "Don't rush, take it slowly, there's still plenty of time."

Speaking, he then tipped the unfinished hourglass back.

Thus, there is no remaining time displayed.

Lai Siyao is burning with impatience, even more flustered.

"Don't let him affect you!" Li Zhangge shouted.

Tang Hui, calmly, said: "To dare enter the final stage without any preparation, I admire your courage."

Lai Siyao took a deep breath, cleared distractions, and tried to calm her mind.

After she calmed down, she continued searching.

Finger tip continuously skimmed over Tombstones, and in just two minutes verified over three hundred.

But the surrounding aura of solemn killing did not diminish at all; instead it grew denser.

The blood hue seemed to solidify, Lai Siyao, exhausted, panting heavily, her legs felt as if sunk in mud, unable to move a step.

"Damn it!" Li Zhangge, seeing this, couldn't help stepping forward to help.

But when he just set foot on the mound, the blood hue swirling in the air instantly intensified several times.

Tang Hui smiled without words, just watching silently.

Li Zhangge began searching for the answer from the other side; although he lacks the speed boost, his movements are not slow.

In just ten seconds, he touched every Tombstone within a twenty-meter radius.

"What are you all still standing around for? Come over and help!" Li Zhangge shouted at Su Yang.

Qin Weiyang subconsciously took a step forward, but Su Yang reached out to stop them.

"Not helping?" they asked.

"It's not that I won't help, it's that I can't." Su Yang shook his head.

Qin Weiyang was just about to ask, when a chilling scream suddenly rang in their ears.

Only to see the blood hue in the air thick as fog, the ground sprouted more than ten hands, which suddenly dragged Lai Siyao into the earth.
