The yellow peaches were shared and eaten, and even the sweet water inside was completely divided up clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at this time, Chen Ran and Yue Guanshan fiercely opened their eyes at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four eyes met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swords drawn and bows bent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, neither had the intention to use the Distance-Free Technique to immediately resolve each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How massive was a Ghost Immortal's spirit? How could it be recovered in a short two and a half days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current mental state, even if he could resolve Chen Ran, would he still dare to move?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn't dare!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Chen Ran died, Chu Yinian's group of four would immediately join forces with the rest of the people to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was very simple. To Chu Yinian's group of four, after Yue Guanshan recovered, whether he would kill them, they weren't certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was uncertain, then they would definitely resolve Yue Guanshan first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Law of the Dark Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one dared to bet on each other's good-heartedness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Chen Ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually dared to make a move, but if he killed Yue Guanshan, apart from Qiu Yinong's few people, the rest of the people would join forces to cripple his spirit, making him unable to wake up before clearing the Instance. This way, the rest of the people both protected Chen Ran and allowed themselves to walk out of the Instance alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Chen Ran, this was an absolutely unacceptable situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a logical vicious cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These helpers, when their spirit was at its peak, were dispensable existences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they were comatose, they could protect them from being tricked into speaking lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When their spirit was overdrawn, which was this current state, they instead became the fisherman from 'Two Dogs Fight for a Bone, and a Third Runs Away With It'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Yue Guanshan and Chen Ran both very unwillingly retracted their gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the two clearly knew that right now was a good opportunity to kill each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eighteen people who were sitting together in a circle eating the Chopped Pepper Fish Head, seeing the two's gazes looking over, all put down their bowls and chopsticks without blushing or skipping a heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having reached their kind of Mental State, their skin was naturally thicker than a city wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were too lazy to pay attention to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking up and sitting down, Chen Ran picked up Qiu Yinong's bowl and chopsticks, and started eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was extremely hungry, feeling like he could eat a cow right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two wolfing down their food, the eighteen people silently stood up and stood behind them according to their camps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not knowing how long had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two consecutively ate several bowls, only then putting down their bowls and chopsticks in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a question, how did that kind of Mental State of yours pop out?\" Yue Guanshan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a meaning? In my opinion, it's better to establish a Future Lie as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, it was meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Chen Ran's kind of Mental State was a one-time consumable, Yue Guanshan didn't dare to bet on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless he completely recovered his spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then we will establish a Future Lie right now: before the Instance's third Secret Room, we must not actively use the Distance-Free Technique on anyone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two were about to establish the Future Lie, an urgent voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person speaking was naturally Chu Yinian. He wasn't an idiot. As long as this Future Lie was established, then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them would be dead for sure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was very simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran and Yue Guanshan, although the two couldn't actively use the Distance-Free Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were still fourteen people opposite ah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only had four people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the fourteen people opposite, after the two established the Future Lie, immediately used the Distance-Free Technique on the four of them, the outcome could be imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for, like before, utilizing Skills to evade being pulled into the Distance-Free Technique?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't forget Chen Ran's Skill was laid out right there, able to crack their Skills at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, as long as the two established this kind of Future Lie, the four would definitely die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here one needed to understand a logic. Yue Guanshan just wasn't confident in being able to deal with the remaining eighteen people's fierce attacks in the Distance-Free Technique after killing Chen Ran, but it didn't mean he couldn't withstand the fourteen opposite people's fierce attacks in the Distance-Free Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, standing from Yue Guanshan's perspective, he very much hoped for a reduction in the players present. No matter who died, it was fine for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, to Yue Guanshan, these four people were dispensable existences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Chen Ran's inquiry, Chu Yinian sorted out his wording: \"As the saying goes, even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone a human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His meaning was very obvious. If the Future Lie wasn't changed, the four of them would crazily output onto Chen Ran, consuming his spirit. As long as Chen Ran was held up, and Qi Yanqing did another Military Fluidity to control the field, then the other three taking turns to mentally bombard Chen Ran, by comparison, waiting until the Instance's third Secret Room, Yue Guanshan would definitely be one step ahead of Chen Ran in finishing his spirit recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran frowned. Because he didn't know the opposite four's Skills, he was somewhat unconfident towards Chu Yinian's kind of deterrence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong reacted, whispering a few sentences to Chen Ran, recounting their Skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Chen Ran knew the Skills of three of the four people, he had to attach importance to this deterrence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also saw Qi Yanqing keeping his hand pressed on the Liar-Slayer all along, and the four people's gazes were dead set on staring at Chen Ran's hands. Once he had the signs of using a Skill, they would pull him into the Distance-Free Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the fourteen people on this side were also prepared at any time to pull the opposite four people into the Distance-Free Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere was somewhat deadlocked at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one was certain, if they really started fighting, who exactly would hold the upper hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upper hand here wasn't victory or defeat in the Distance-Free Technique, but whose plan could succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan rejoiced in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Hell. There was no hatred, and everyone had the intention of keeping the enemy alive to increase their own value. Therefore, when the two were comatose, they could talk and laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, once the two woke up, they would have their respective standpoints, and being restrained by the situation, could only fight a life-and-death struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran pondered slightly, looking at Jiang Zhe behind him. The latter understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since it's like this, we'll first establish a lie that we cannot actively use the Distance-Free Technique on... people not including Chen Ran and Yue Guanshan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yinian and the other three gladly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eighteen people first established the Future Lie that they could not use the Distance-Free Technique on each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran and Yue Guanshan established the Future Lie that they could not use the Distance-Free Technique on anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Future Lies would end when everyone arrived at the Instance's third Secret Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Future Lies were established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, if they wanted to kill each other they could only use Skills, or Lie-Judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, in terms of Skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eternal Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Military Fluidity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, next, this Instance would with a high probability turn into the purest battle of wits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Guanshan sat in front of the fish head bones, taking a sip of tea with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compete in a battle of wits?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly couldn't imagine what kind of crazy he would have to go to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief peace was thus achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Chen Ran have the mind to examine this Secret Room that they had ignored for a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>",1424,"2026-06-02T12:08:21.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","341853f90311fd22a2d4728b65b071601df2fda004fe193de754cff49c37b0f0","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-600","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-181",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
