Chapter 313 - Despair (1/2)

Yes, if the two of them “crashed” away from the platform, they could only die together. However, if they were very close to the platform, one side would only need to use the other side’s head as a springboard to jump onto the platform. Then, they could survive by triggering the ‘collision’ condition.

This was not difficult for a Rare-ranked creature, right?

Of course, if one knew the Wudang alacrity technique—Cloud Jumper—one could also step on the back of one’s left foot with one’s right foot and jump onto the platform to avoid being hit.

However, the bald middle-aged man no longer had this chance. In fact, he would have died if Wei Huo had not wanted to expose his strength.

If one was not strong enough or smart enough, how could one survive such a death threat?

However, just as the bald middle-aged man fell into the abyss because of the broken black rope, Wei Huo realized that there was a spiritual thread at the back of his head that extended into the endless void.

As the middle-aged man fell into the abyss and let out the most desperate and terrified roar, something drilled out of the middle-aged man’s head and flowed into the void through the spiritual thread.

Wei Huo’s spiritual spread out and captured that thing.

At that moment, Wei Huo understood what it was. He also understood why the higher-ups in the volcano had built this deathly game.

That thing was a person’s despair and fear. When the middle-aged man faced death and emitted the most despair and fear, this spiritual thread slowly stole his despair and fear.

That was the purpose of the game: to collect people’s despair and fear!

It turned out that this was not just a place built by the higher-ups to seek stimulation. Legendary creatures wanted to collect despair and fear. Wei Huo had three guesses as to why they wanted to do that.

One, one needed despair and fear to make a super weapon.

Two, a Legendary creature walked the path of despair and fear. That was why they needed these things.

Three, collecting despair and fear could attract a creature.

Boom!

At that moment, the platform Wei Huo was on made a sound. Then, the black rope on the right side of the platform snapped and the platform left the wall and floated up.

The administrator’s voice spoke. “The cries you make at your most desperate moment are indeed the most beautiful, especially when they are made by self-righteous scumbags like you. Did you think about this day when you bullied the weak and killed women and children?”

Wei Huo listened to the administrator’s almost sick voice. What had this administrator experienced to make him this way? However, this was the kind of person that would be recruited to be the administrator of this deathly game, right?

The platform under Wei Huo’s feet kept rising. Ten seconds later, Wei Huo saw light above his head. Then, he saw a metal platform. There was already a person standing on it. Wei Huo had met this person before. It was the young man who had killed the weak prisoner with the invisible thread and passed the first round.
