Chapter 827: You go up to try! And you get struck and sent flying again!

With the Substitute not emerging, Ji Huai cannot move.

This damned place is too sinister.

A slight slip could get struck by lightning.

They've already taken two lessons.

As the saying goes, things don't go beyond three; if they fall again, it'll be too shameful.

"I think staying here is unsafe; we should go back up," Zuo Hang suggested.

"Fine," Ji Huai nodded.

The three immediately turned back the same way, hurrying away from this place of trouble.

Where else to wait but here?

They'd rather walk a few extra steps than suffer a mishap.

Seeing this, Qin Yu Zhou below instantly paled.

After finally getting to watch a good show, these people actually got so timid?

"Your gallbladder is so small, what Death Game are you playing?" Qin Yu Zhou muttered.

One hour…

It seems short, but waiting in this rain‑and‑snow cold weather.

Is truly agonizing.

Qin Yu Zhou doesn't want to fall back into those three's clutches, nor return empty‑handed.

So he chose to wait here.

One cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Heaven will surely favor those with patience.

At this thought, he simply hugged himself with both arms and sat on the steps.

"May Heaven protect, please don't strike me."

"If you dare strike me, I'll die right before your eyes…"

During this waiting period, Ji Huai kept pondering his recent encounter.

Although all this seems reasonable.

And all within the scope of the rules.

But he always feels something is off.

Take the first danger he faced as an example.

The metal object attracted lightning.

It seems logical, yet it feels like an invisible giant hand is controlling it.

Being struck directly by lightning afterward is even worse luck.

Ji Huai's last time playing this game he encountered a similar situation.

But it wasn't him.

It was some other player who got so unlucky.

Was struck alive up into the sky.

Now the unlucky target has become himself, which he absolutely cannot accept.

The waste is not only time, but also delays his next plan.

"What's that?" Zuo Hang pointed down.

Cai Yan and Ji Huai looked as a result and saw two Blind Dogs suddenly burst from the ground.

Aimlessly wandering around.

Taking advantage of this time, Ji Huai gave a detailed introduction of the Monster.

After listening, Zuo Hang nodded in realization, "So to deal with this Monster, if you can't kill it in one blow, you'll inevitably be bitten back?"

"The Seventh Tier should be able to kill it outright, right?"

Ji Huai was also unsure, "Not certain, but it can be tried when needed."

Cai Yan pulled a sharp dagger from behind, its blade engraved with exquisite patterns.

It was clearly a treasure bought with a lot of Faith Value.

"Killing humans I'm good at; killing beasts I'm equally experienced," Cai Yan said calmly.

"What about the giant?" Zuo Hang asked again.

Ji Huai shook his head, "Giants are impervious to swords and spears; you can only use items to block them briefly."

Zuo Hang was instantly troubled; if it can't be killed, that would be problematic.

"What time is it now?"

"It should be around seven or eight at night."

"We have to get back to the ship before Midnight Twelve, right?"

"Yeah, we can't delay any longer; the Substitute will set off as soon as it's ready."

"Understood!"

The three realized the seriousness of the problem.

If they don't return to the ship before Midnight Twelve.

The Spaceship will automatically launch.

Then any player left here can only be permanently abandoned.

Sentenced to death!

An hour passed in an instant.

Cai Yan created a new 'substitute' for Ji Huai, and the Illusory Dummy slowly materialized.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"This time there can be no mistakes; no matter what hardships arise, you must push forward for me!"

"Understood!"

"Go!"

Zuo Hang led, Ji Huai was in the middle, and Cai Yan covered from behind.

This time their gazes were resolute, bearing a triumphant determination.

The sound of footsteps on the stairs rang out, startling Qin Yu Zhou, who was resting with his eyes closed below.

He rubbed his eyes and looked up, seeing the three of them descending one after another.

"Finally, it's here!"

He stood up, loosened his stiff limbs, and waited calmly for the next act.

He hadn't gotten enough of Lin Jin's death the last time.

Unfortunately there was no camera.

Otherwise he could have recorded it from high to low and watched it on festive evenings.

Soon, the three returned to their original positions.

This time Zuo Hang carefully inspected the Trap he had set.

"How's it?" Cai Yan asked.

"It's closed; you can proceed with confidence," Zuo Hang said solemnly.

"You go up first and try," Cai Yan's eyes showed doubt.

"I already said it's fine; don't you trust me?"

Zuo Hang shook his head helplessly and stood on it in front of the two.

He gave a little hop, spread his hands, and said, "See, I told you it's fine."

"Boom!"

At that moment, a blazing bolt of lightning suddenly flashed.

Without any warning, Zuo Hang was struck and flung away.

His Silhouette shot upward at a terrifying three hundred kilometers per hour.

In an instant he vanished.

Instinctively avoiding the blinding flash, the two slowly opened their eyes.

As their blurred Vision Perception cleared, they saw Zuo Hang's Silhouette had disappeared.

"Where's he?" Cai Yan was stunned.

Ji Huai's face turned extremely grim, "He was struck and flung away."

"What?!" Cai Yan felt a chill in her heart.

"That fool, telling him not to underestimate anyone, yet he wouldn't listen!" Ji Huai gritted his teeth, his eyes full of bitter resentment.

That flash of light was clearly a manifestation of his own Innate Talent.

In other words, Zuo Hang was killed by his own Trap.

Just now he had been saying that Su Yang's Innate Talent was a substitute, and that the Trap he set was very low‑level.

He boasted that he could achieve perfect coverage by setting it himself.

In the end, it was like moving a Stone to smash one's own Foot.

How tragic?

"What do we do now?" Cai Yan was hardly stirred by her companion's death.

He had long become accustomed.

"What title did you bring?" Ji Huai asked.

"'Voidification'."

"Apply a buff to yourself; we charge down!"

"But you..."

"I have a substitute; no problem!"

Cai Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

In the next instant, his Silhouette instantly became blurry.

"'Voidification' only lasts ten seconds; let me carry you down," Cai Yan said without further discussion, hoisting Ji Huai onto her back.

She then surged downward at tremendous speed!

When his Foot touched the Trap, thunder was immediately summoned.

"Boom!"

The substitute blocked the strike.

At the same time, an Electric Current sound began emanating from Ji Huai's pocket.

Cai Yan gritted her teeth and kept charging; when they reached above Qin Yu Zhou, another lightning strike fell!

"Boom!"

The still‑lingering substitute again absorbed the blow.

Like a flash of wind and lightning, the two rushed to the bottom of the stairs in five seconds.

Speaking of time being slow then fast, Ji Huai flung all the metal in his pouch outward at once.

Boom!

Thunder struck again, and the snow ground suddenly exploded into a deep pit.

"Keep moving, don't look back!" Ji Huai said in a deep voice.

"Hold on tight!" Cai Yan's legs turned into an illusion, and in a flash she ran out hundreds of meters.

The speed was such that even a giant could not catch up.

Yet at that moment, an irregular rectangular object suddenly fell right in front of Cai Yan's running path.

"What is this…"

Ji Huai at a glance Vision Perception this object's origin.

His Pupil suddenly contracted, and he shouted loudly:

"Close your eyes quickly!"
