Doomsday Roulette

Chapter One!

Ye Zhongming sat down a bit unsteadily, blood continuously flowing from his body.

He had lost track of how many small spaces he had passed through; he simply fought his way through, desperate to escape before the crystal nest barrier activated.

However, it seemed as if this roulette space was playing a joke on Ye Zhongming. He had fought fiercely all the way, yet he saw no hope; one small space after another appeared as if they were endless. Each time he cleared one, another emerged.

If he had the time, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t mind this; after all, there would be a day when he would break through. He even hoped to clear more—each one provided him with a considerable amount of Nourishing Life Soil.

But time was not on his side. To hurry his escape, he could only rest briefly after passing through each space, causing his injuries to accumulate from bad to worse. Even though he had just increased his physical strength, nearing level eight, he still couldn’t withstand such intense and sustained combat.

The potions were all used up, and the clear body could only help him hold on a bit longer, but the accumulation of injuries meant that Ye Zhongming had very little time left to recover fully.

Looking at the seemingly endless space ahead, Ye Zhongming felt despair for the first time.

Was there truly no time to save those who believed in him?

He had thought that with the reduced gravity, enhanced body, and increased recovery ability, everything would become easier, but now...

Ye Zhongming forced a bitter smile, closed his eyes, and began to recover from his injuries as best as he could. Although he felt somewhat lost, he would not give up until the very last moment.

Feeling a bit better, Ye Zhongming entered the next space.

But as soon as he stepped in, Ye Zhongming froze, then felt a surge of joy.

He noticed the difference in this space; the ground was oddly three-colored, just like the roulette outside!

Different, perhaps meant more danger, but it could also mean... the end of the test.

Ye Zhongming cautiously entered, looked around at the Three-Colored Nourishing Life Soil on the ground, and noted the surroundings. He discovered a difference: the light shield on one side of the bodily fluids was completely opaque, resembling a door.

A door? Could it be an exit?

Knowing speculation was useless, Ye Zhongming began to collect the Nourishing Life Soil from the ground, but after half a day of vigilance, he found nothing appeared.

No danger?

Ye Zhongming continued collecting, and still, no danger occurred, until he gathered the last bit of Nourishing Life Soil...

Suddenly, dozens of three-colored tubes extended down from the rippling surface above, each as thick as a ping pong ball, aimed directly at Ye Zhongming below.

Then a beam of light appeared, and as time passed, these beams began to speed up.

No way!?

Lasers?

Ye Zhongming felt an intense sense of danger, and his body quickly dodged to the side.

The first bright laser shot down, followed by a dozen tubes continuously firing, flooding the space with laser beams.

Ye Zhongming clumsily dodged, but the space was small, and there was nowhere to escape; he could only attempt to use sand dance to block or deflect these beams.

But they were too fast; the sand dance could stop the first, but couldn’t handle the second or third, and the beams began to hit Ye Zhongming's body repeatedly.

These beams carried immense force and strong penetrating power, causing burns upon impact, with the wounds feeling like they were on fire.

Ye Zhongming was experiencing a hellish sensation since entering this place.

The Thousand Leaf Scale Armor on him was already somewhat tattered; if Ye Zhongming weren't a craftsman, with plenty of materials from the three space gears to repair it anytime, it might have been destroyed long ago.

However, after enduring dozens of laser attacks, this armor finally lost its last bit of sturdiness and shattered completely.

The durability of the Earth Set's Wind Speed Pants also began to plummet.
