Wei Huo sensed his surroundings carefully. The chips behind the necks of the prisoners on the platform had been removed. At that moment, several cameras were monitoring them in that huge space.

Wei Huo and the others called these things cameras. In reality, they looked like cameras but were not like cameras at all. They were invisible and formless. They could hide in the air, appear in any corner, and move around. They were more like invisible eyeballs.

At that moment, the voice seemed to have seen the prisoners on the platform through the magical cameras. It was confused by what it saw. “Why are there 13 people? Did those guys make such a blunder again? Forget it. It makes no difference anyway.”

The group of prisoners frowned. In fact, they had already guessed something upon seeing the 12 paths that connected the platform. The 12 paths corresponded to 12 people, but one additional person had appeared at that moment. That meant that one person was not qualified to ’embark on this journey’!

The voice said, “Now that the rules of the game have been announced, you can see that there are 12 paths connected to the platform. However, only six of the 12 paths are real, and the other six are fake. If someone chooses a fake path, that path will collapse and that person will fall into the magma. Although the real paths lead to the next level, only one person can pass.”

A prisoner shouted, “But there are 13 of us! Has there been a mistake?”

The cold voice said, “So what if there’s been a mistake? Which one of you is not a scumbag who deserves to die? Letting you live is already the greatest forgiveness. Besides, if you pass the final stage, not only will you obtain freedom, but you will also obtain one billion Magma Coins and a new identity.”

The other prisoners fell silent. However, some of them sneered as if they had thought of a way to deal with the current checkpoint.

Wei Huo understood everything when he heard that. This was a deathly game. They would gather all the death row prisoners there and give them a huge temptation so that they could continue taking on the stages. The cameras would transmit the situation to another place in real time and let people watch it. The people watching the deathly game had to be the higher-ups in the volcano, the real masters of the city.

The views of the Atlanteans in this underwater world were completely different from those of land people. In this place, as long as one took one more step, breathed in an additional mouthful of air, or uttered an extra sentence, one would be caught if one had no money.

These unforgivable prisoners could use this method to obtain freedom and money. Ultimately, no matter what world, era, or species they belonged to, the law of the jungle applied.

However, the pursuit of strength had turned into a pursuit of money and power. There was no difference in nature.

Wei Huo thought of the imposing aura he had sensed previously. It seemed like someone had unleashed their potential under a life-and-death threat and reached the Epic stage!

In other words, the game cage under the magma could continuously increase the number of underwater experts.

However, why were the Atlanteans gathering? Were they preparing their troops to challenge stronger enemies?

This information could not be bought with money. The Atlanteans were not so stupid as to put all their knowledge into the knowledge sales center. In that case, the so-called Soul Refining Water would not be the greatest secret of the Atlanteans.

Wei Huo continued hiding. His intuition told him that the Atlanteans were preparing for more powerful enemies. Even though they had over 300 Legendary creatures, they still felt that this was not enough. That was why they used all sorts of methods to train new experts.

At that moment, the strong prisoner asked, “Can the game start? I can’t wait!”

A cold voice was heard. “The game has begun. Start escaping, scumbags!”
