Ye Zhongming directly abandoned Chou Zhi Song, who was fighting him, and hurried to the hole left by the earth mother worm, taking a quick glance inside. However, he found that it was pitch black and could see nothing. He frowned slightly and quickly stepped back.
Because many people were madly rushing toward this place.
Being trapped in this competition of death roulette space was not their desire. If they could find a way to escape, they naturally wanted to leave quickly; the hope of surviving here was indeed very low.
To compete for this potential escape route, several forces erupted into the most intense and bloody battle since the beginning of the conflict, with severed limbs and blood almost covering the area around the entrance.
Ye Zhongming retreated, his furrowed brow never relaxing.
He had gone through great lengths to set up such a situation, aiming to catch all these forces in one net while obtaining the ultimate reward here.
He had considered that someone might find a miraculous way to escape since the roulette rewards and the guarding monsters could possibly contain some magical items, and Ye Zhongming couldn't predict everything.
So it wasn't impossible for someone to use such equipment to escape.
However, Ye Zhongming didn’t believe that these people trapped here would be so lucky as to conveniently have a way to escape the space or be immune to death.
But the facts struck him hard: that Dr. He truly had a method to leave this place.
Ye Zhongming could accept this fact, but if his departure opened up an escape route, that was a situation he did not want to see.
"They can't escape. That big worm has undergone some miraculous changes and possesses very weak spatial abilities, so it could leave, but they... cannot."
Now, fighting in various places had mostly stopped, and people were surging toward that hole. The people from Cloud Summit Villa gathered around Ye Zhongming again.
Brain Boy also came over, using his tender voice to tell Ye Zhongming about some things he sensed.
Only then did Ye Zhongming relax his body; otherwise, he would have really wanted to order an attack.
Finally, someone dashed into the hole without hesitation, followed by a string of people who jumped in like moths to a flame.
Of course, there were unusually calm individuals; the high-ranking members of the Radiant World Army and the zero commerce association did not rashly jump in. After all, they still hadn’t figured out how Dr. He escaped, and rushing into the hole posed significant risks.
Sure enough, moments later, screams began to echo from inside the hole, rising and falling without pause.
Some of those who had charged in began to run back out as if something was chasing them from behind. Moments later, others saw that the entrance was 'healing' at a visible speed, and those who hadn’t escaped were all buried alive inside.
As they watched the entrance return to its original state, the entire platform became eerily silent, as if it were deep in the night.
Beep beep!
This sudden silence, filled with despair turning into hope and then rapidly extinguishing, was broken by the beeping sound. Everyone turned toward the sound and saw that besides the scores of each force displayed on the light screen, a countdown timer had appeared beside it, recording the time.
There were still more than forty minutes left before the score competition time would end!
Currently, Cloud Summit Villa still occupied the first position in scores, closely followed by the Radiant World Army, while the zero commerce association had already fallen behind.
The space dimmed slightly, and at that moment, the Shield of the Water Bottle, which had been covering the heads of the Cloud Summit Villa members, disappeared. Just as the hole was resealing, the energy absorption of the Shield of the Water Bottle increased sharply, finally draining all the energy from the water-type natural gemstone, causing the Cloud Summit Villa to lose their protection.
Cheng Tianji and Chou Zhi Song exchanged glances, both eager to try.
