Let me make another announcement: there will be an explosion on the 25th, depending on the situation, the number of chapters may vary. Thank you all for your recent rewards and votes, thank you brothers!
They never expected that someone from the human race would get here ahead of them.
For this special roulette, no one knew better than Ji Rui Guang and his confidant Anman what they had sacrificed. They even risked becoming public enemies of all humanity if their actions were exposed.
They thought this would be foolproof, and even if they encountered a demon creature, the situation would pose great risks. However, from another perspective, it wasn’t entirely bad news, because no one could reach here faster than they could.
But who would have thought that someone else would get there first?
That feeling was incredibly intolerable, like discovering on your wedding night that someone else had already exited the bridal chamber with their pants in hand!
“Damn it, damn it, damn it!” Anman’s bald head shone even brighter with anger. “How could this kid be here? How did he know about this?”
Jas and Zuo Jinxuan exchanged glances. The former quickly looked away, as this emotionally inept woman probably wouldn’t think too much about it.
After his initial fury, Ji Rui Guang remained surprisingly calm. He circled around the roulette, squatted down to examine the three corpses here, and finally observed some scattered low-level magic crystals, frowning in deep thought.
“Let’s go. Talking is useless; we’ll know what happened once we go inside.” Ji Rui Guang rummaged in his pocket, taking out a magic crystal. “If you encounter that guy named Ye Zhongming inside, take him out!”
“Grade 8 magic crystal?!” Seeing the magic crystal in Ji Rui Guang’s hand, Jas was taken aback, and Zuo Jinxuan even shouted out loud.
Even though they were both seven-star evolvers, until now, they had never killed an eighth-level mutated life form, nor had they ever obtained an eighth-level magic crystal. After all, even hunting seventh-level mutated life forms required a large team to coordinate. Dealing with an eighth-level existence, the iron lock prisoner was merely an attempt.
Unexpectedly, Ji Rui Guang quietly acquired a magic crystal of this level, making them even more wary of this commander-in-chief of the C district.
Only Ji Rui Guang knew how much he had sacrificed to acquire this magic crystal to activate the roulette. He even signed some humiliating treaties, and…
Even if Ji Rui Guang had to let his C district team serve as bait, he had to bring people here. One important reason was that to obtain this grade 8 magic crystal, he had secretly sent out some resources from the resistance zone. If this were to be exposed, there would be no place for him in the resistance zone anymore. If he wanted to continue sitting in his position, he could only grow stronger.
Sometimes, Ji Rui Guang would feel a hint of regret in his heart, but he knew there was no turning back. He gritted his teeth and persevered.
Thinking of that mysterious organization even the resistance zone feared—Divine Hall! And that mysterious director of the research institute in the Divine Hall, Ji Rui Guang would shudder.
“Go in!”
With a determination to burn bridges, Ji Rui Guang pressed the grade 8 magic crystal into the slot. The roulette changed back to its previous form, with three colors spinning, finally opening a door.
“Come, hold hands as we enter; this way we won’t get separated.” Ji Rui Guang instructed the four to hold hands, then they all stepped in as the door opened.
Outside the roulette, calmness returned.
However, just moments before Ji Rui Guang and the others entered, they hadn’t noticed that beneath the corpses they had long forgotten, some translucent tentacles quietly emerged from the ground, slowly and sharply piercing into these corpses.
As they approached the roulette, the two demon creatures and three human corpses visibly shriveled at a rapid pace.
