Chapter 313 – Selective Death

“Little Chen, there are nine paths in front of us, how are we going to choose?”

Han Yan turned to Jiang Chen and asked. Han Yan’s image of Jiang Chen’s omnipotence was deeply rooted in his mind, that’s why whenever they encountered a situation with a lot of variables, Han Yan would just turn to Jiang Chen for his opinion.

“Anything could happen in this kind of situation that has a lot of variables; each path can lead us to anything. Let’s just wait and see.”

Jiang Chen replied as he stared at all nine paths, carefully examining each of the. But, he couldn’t tell any of them apart.

“Why are you losing your head? I’m sure there are someone else who are more nervous than us, just let those impatient people enter first.”

Nangong Wentian crossed his arms in front of his chest. His expression was a calm one.

Time passed by, and crowds of people stood in front of the nine paths. None of them dared make the first move, but, it seemed like they were getting more and more relentless. It was just as Nangong Wentian had said; some people were starting to get impatient.

“I don’t see any difference in these nine paths, and since you’re all such cowards, I’ll be the first one to proceed! I choose the middle path!”

Right at this moment, a young man who looked to be in his twenties stood out. He was a genius disciple from the Eastern Continent, and he was an Early Divine Core warrior at this young age, which made him feel really proud of himself.

Newborn calves weren’t afraid of tigers; all youngsters liked adventuring! Therefore, this young man became the first one to walk one of the paths. He directly stepped onto the middle path with vigorous steps.

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, after the young man stepped onto the middle path, it seemed like he was impacted by some sort of dimensional force. His body trembled a little bit, but it soon stabilized. After that, he turned around to the crowds and started laughing, “Look, nothing bad happened! Daddy is going in now!”

The young man turned around and continued walking further into the path, then he just suddenly disappeared.

“Nothing happened to him. Alright, I’ll choose the middle path as well.”

Seeing that nothing happened to the young man, the rest of the people didn’t want to waste more time. Everyone understood one fact; the first person to enter might be the first one to get treasures!

At this moment, about eight people dashed toward the middle path, together.

In just a split second, these people reached the middle path. But, something suddenly happened!

Argh!!

A few miserable shrieks resounded. Under the frightened gazes from the crowd, six men from the group who just entered exploded like balloons, instantly turning into blood mists. After that, the bloody mist just disappeared into nowhere.

What?!

Many people cried out in alarm at the same time. Those who were right behind the group that just entered instantly stopped moving, stunned and frightened by what just happened.

The scene was extremely terrifying! The path still looked normal, and nothing weird had appeared, but those who entered the path just got killed for no reason.

What was even more puzzling was, there was a total of eight warriors who stepped onto the path, six of them died, but the two young men weren’t hurt at all.

Presently, the expressions of those two young men turned real ugly. Their bodies were covered in the blood of those warriors who just died. Six men had just died without any prior signs. But, nothing happened to either of them. This was a bizarre situation that really frightened them.

“How did that happen?”

“Why did 6 of them die, but those two didn’t?”

“What’s going on? This is terrifying!”

No one could remain calm any longer, the situation had stunned every single one present. Finally, the two young men woke up from their shock. Both of them looked at each other, then they both let out a belly laughter, “Hahaha, I knew it! The Island of Ice’s treasures are prepare for those with great destinies! Those with weak destinies can’t proceed any further! We are in, and still alive… this means we are men with great destinies, hahaha!”

Both men were extremely thrilled. They immediately turned around and continued walking forwards, soon disappeared from the eyes of the crowds.

“This is odd… I don’t believe it, there must be something wrong with this path! Let me try another path… I pick the first path!”

An old man in his fifties started walking toward the first path, but stopped when he arrived in front of the path. From the sweat on his face, one could easily tell how panicked he was. After all, a few people had just died on another path, so he would be lying if he said he wasn’t a bit panicked.

“Fuck it, I don’t care anymore!”

The old man gritted his teeth. It wasn’t easy for him to come here, so he couldn’t just return empty handed. The old man took a step forward and stepped onto the first path.

“Haha, look, I told you, there was something wrong with that path, nothing bad happe-, argh!!”

The old man got very excited, but in the next second, a miserable shrike left his mouth, just like the previous men. In an instant, his body exploded and turned into a blood mist, then he disappeared into nowhere, just like the others.

With this, the crowds were greatly frightened. They looked at the nine paths in front of them as if they were looking at the paths of death. The way those people died was really bizarre; they just died for no reason at all!

“Damn it, this is really scary, how did this happen?”

“This horrifying, all nine paths have the safe problem! We might just die at any time!”

…………

The crowds were terrified, and few could remain calm. Their desire to hunt for treasure has lessened. No matter how precious the treasure might be; nothing could compare to the importance of their own lives.
