"These people are truly awful!"

Just as Lin Yuqing was about to rush out to stop them, her sister grabbed her and gently shook her head.

Lin Yuqing knew very well that the more players there were, the greater the risk of exposing Overturning Water would be. With their strength, facing these hundreds of people was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. It would have been alright back on the God-Demon Continent, where Dai Xuan wouldn’t dare to provoke her, but here, cut off from the outside world, his ambition gradually revealed itself. It would only get worse as time went on!

...

The camera shifted to Su Ran.

At that moment, Su Ran was secretly listening to Dai Xuan’s conversation, including all the coded messages like using a torch as a signal, committing them to memory.

"Here it comes!"

Seeing the warrior player jump down, Su Ran quickly leaned against the wall, afraid of being bumped into.

Su Ran mourned for the player for a second because he knew this guy’s fate was already sealed. In this death trap, there was no chance for good fortune.

As expected.

A scream came from below, and due to the peculiar structure of the space at the bottom, by the time it reached Su Ran, the volume had already decreased significantly. The players above, if not listening carefully, wouldn’t notice anything abnormal.

And all of Dai Xuan’s attention was on the two women; he wouldn’t notice the anomaly in the pit, which led to a misunderstanding.

"Tsk, tsk, truly pitiful."

Su Ran silently descended, looking at the ghastly death of the player with some pity. He then dragged the corpse aside, only to discover a torch appearing before him.

"Hey, it’s like even the heavens are helping me. What a thing to burst out upon death, a torch, haha, Leader Dai, please accept this grand gift of mine~!"

Su Ran picked up the torch, casually lit it, and lifted it overhead, vigorously shaking it, worried the players above might not see it. Su Ran rose a few spots and shook the torch even more enthusiastically.

Subsequently, a chain reaction occurred.

A mass of players jumped down from above, bustling like a busy market, and for a moment, the pit was exceptionally lively.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Su Ran quickly extinguished the torch and hid to the side.

"Pfft, pfft."

Sharp spikes unceremoniously pierced through body after body, blood sprayed out, sketching gaudy blood-red roses. The group of players was stunned by the scene before them; they hadn’t anticipated traps lay hidden here and were too late to flee. They could only watch in horror as the spikes penetrated them, and after a short struggle, their health depleted, and they turned into souls waiting to respawn.

Within moments, the cave was filled with screams and moans, and even Dai Xuan on the ground above was alarmed.

"Everyone stop!"

Dai Xuan suddenly realized something was amiss and urgently stopped the players still intending to jump in. He frowned deeply, looking into the dark pit, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

"Damn women, you dare to deceive me!"

Having heard the faint moans and seeing no sign of light, where wouldn’t Dai Xuan understand what had happened? he swore and commanded, "Get them, seize those two women!"

"You dare!"

Although Lin Yuqing was shocked, she didn’t show it, and coldly retorted, "Leader Dai, this is all your own doing; what does it have to do with us sisters? If you dare to touch a hair on us, once we return to the God-Demon Continent, I will ensure that your Dancing Demons guild is uprooted and banished from the God-Demon Continent!"

"I, Lin Yuqing, mean what I say! Try it, Dai Xuan, and see!"

"You..."

Dai Xuan’s complexion changed slightly, and not just him, but even his subordinates hesitated, lest they provoke Lin Yuqing, one of the most formidable female players, unless absolutely necessary.

"Leader Dai, you’re ruthless, but the road ahead is long. We’ll see about that!"

Having nearly lost half of his forces to a mere pit, Dai Xuan didn’t want to linger here. He glanced at the deep, dark hole with some fear, snorted coldly, dropped a harsh line, and then led his men away in defeat.

"Phew, that scared me to death,"

Once the group had hurried away, Lin Yuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Big sis, you didn’t see it; that Dai guy looked terrifying, like he wanted to devour our hearts!"

"Ask him if he dares!"

Once the powerful aura of Dancing Demons was released, no one dared to underestimate it. "If anyone angers me, I’ll dismantle their guild instantly!"

"Wow, big sis, you’re actually swearing. I really must tell mom about this!"

Lin Yuqing was somewhat envious of her sister’s encounters, being able to fend off many players single-handedly—what a majestic and imposing presence!

However, Lin Yuqing knew this lifestyle wasn’t for her. She dreamed of living a peaceful life, full and content, spending easy days with soda water—just thinking about it made her happy!

"Don’t be like that, little sis. You wouldn’t be so cruel, right?"

Dancing Demons’s face changed as she quickly changed the subject, pointing to the dark pit, "I wonder how Overturning Water is doing down there, after all these people jumped in. How could he handle it alone?"

"Big sis, don’t scare me. Didn’t you tell me before that so long as no one leaves the team, the teammates won’t die?"

Unable to hold back, Lin Yuqing approached the pit, looked down, and shouted, "Overturning Water, are you okay?"

Dancing Demons was startled by her younger sister’s suddenly loud volume. She glared at her, then perked up her ears, waiting for Overturning Water’s response.

However.

At that moment, Su Ran had no mind to consider anything else; his attention was wholly on the pile of corpses, which to him were like goldmines, filling him with intense excitement. He hurriedly pulled out the Corpse Soul Pot, absorbing the residual souls of the dead players.

Soon, Su Ran acquired several crystals. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were just ordinary crystals, which inevitably disappointed him a bit.

"Leader Dai, the bodies have respawned, why not send more men down here quickly?"

Su Ran eagerly watched above the pit, deeply hoping for another wave of players to deliver more bodies.

Speaking of which, those sharp spikes were really useful; piercing through a dozen bodies effortlessly and causing instant deaths made Su Ran, a mere bystander, feel extremely thrilled!

In Su Ran’s opinion, even if another hundred people came, this death trap could swallow them all!

"Drip."

A sudden noise came from above the pit, and a familiar figure appeared in midair, falling rapidly. Su Ran initially felt joy, but his smile froze instantly as he recognized the person.

"Yu Jing!!!"

Panic appeared on Su Ran’s face; he wanted to save Lin Yuqing but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as she fell into the spikes.

However, just before despair could take hold, something dramatic happened.

"Crack."

The formerly invincible spike, under the forceful impact of Lin Yuqing, actually broke.

It broke...

Lin Yuqing stood up as if nothing had happened, dusted off her clothes, saw Su Ran, and joyfully yelled, "Overturning Water, you’re alright! You scared me to death!"

At that moment, Su Ran had a phrase stuck in his throat, desperately wanting to sincerely tell Lin Yuqing, "You’ve gained weight..."
