Chapter 311 - Dead Again (2/2)
After all, they had one more person!
Upon seeing this, Tank cursed and prepared to push Wei Huo away to walk on the nearest path.
There was no other way. At the moment, they could only gamble. They were all vicious prisoners and bold gamblers. At this critical moment, they could only gamble with their lives!
However, Tank’s push was pointless. It was as if Wei Huo did not exist. He was a little stunned because he had seen Wei Huo right in front of him. However, that push seemed to have passed through the air.
“How is that possible?”
While he was in a daze, Wei Huo had already set foot on the path and walked half the distance.
Only then did he understand. “Is this… an afterimage?”
A moment later, he was shocked. This speed was even faster than the skinny prisoner’s speed. It was impossible for a Rare-ranked creature to be so fast!
He immediately turned around and tried to find another path. However, at that moment, there were already people on the remaining ten paths. There were even two people on one path, and that path was already slowly sinking into the magma.
The two of them shouted and cursed each other, but it was useless. Their legs were the first to be swallowed by the magma, but they were eventually swallowed whole.
In the end, the six real paths sank. The remaining paths were all dead ends.
Tank was left behind on the square platform.
“Ah! Administrator, this is your fault. You let another person in.” Tank hugged his head in despair.
There was no other choice.
The cold voice spoke at that moment. “Many times, people die because they court death. Tank, cherish your last moments. By the way, this platform will sink in 30 seconds. Let out your desperate cries. I’ll record them and use them as a ringtone.”
Yes, the underwater world also had something akin to a ringtone. What was even more terrifying was that, unlike a ringtone on land, this ringtone could create terrifying hallucinations and make one enter the most terrifying nightmare. It could also make one’s fear extinguish one’s sleepiness.
Wei Huo was surprised to hear the administrator’s voice. It seemed like these people’s personalities had changed after this long confinement.
Humans were different from other animals. Human emotions were very difficult to control, and humans were the biggest variables. Different environments could shape different people, and some people’s personalities would change drastically due to unforeseen events.
It seemed like human nature did not change much, be it the nature of land people or Atlanteans.
Wei Huo arrived at the next level and appeared on a small platform. Two black shafts were set up on the platform, and two thick black ropes were connected to the top of the two shafts. There was a sliding wheel on each of the two thick ropes, and there was a triangular handle tied under each wheel.
The two thick ropes led in two different directions. The ends of the ropes were lost in the darkness, and it was impossible to see what was under the platform. There was an endless abyss below it, and one could not see its bottom.
At that moment, the administrator said, “There are 10 people in this game. Everyone can choose the two black ropes in front of them. However, please note that these two black ropes lead to two different platforms. If two of you choose the same black rope, I’m sorry to say that you’d make a faux pas. Once you do that, the black rope that the two of you chose will break and you will fall into the abyss below. Scumbags, make your choice. As long as you reach another platform, you will be able to go to the next level!”
