The cold voice broadcast echoed throughout the entire maze, causing everyone inside to stop in their tracks.
Before entering the maze, each team participating in the gambling was assigned a number, and Team Five was the number assigned to that foolish man.
It was also the young man’s number.
Given that man’s intelligence, it would have been impossible for him to obtain ten flags. Clearly, it was the young man who helped him get them.
This, at least, proved that the young man was safe.
Everyone in the maze didn’t hesitate and quickly rushed towards the exit.
The players outside the maze looked at the young man who had been sent out by Han Ze and exchanged glances.
Ultimately, they all decided to ignore the nine flags in the young man’s hand.
If it were someone else, they would definitely have gone up to seize the flags, but since it was the young man, they had no such thoughts.
Nor did they dare have any.
After all, if they tried to take them, they might end up being killed by their own ‘teammates.’
It was better to pretend they hadn’t seen anything.
Ruan Qing also knew that those players wouldn’t try to snatch his flags, so he ignored the players nearby.
After leaving the maze, he directly took his nine flags and stood at the finish line.
Waiting for the final moment to arrive.
As time passed, the cold electronic voice echoed throughout the entire maze, making the atmosphere even more dangerous.
The voice broadcast would sound when the tenth flag was encountered, which meant that Han Ze had just obtained his flag.
Han Ze wasn’t very smart, but he knew that once others heard the voice broadcast, they would definitely come to seize his flag.
Possibly even kill him.
At that point, he would face the gamblers participating in the gambling, which would be the most dangerous moment he had ever encountered.
Han Ze didn’t want to die, but he didn’t want to lose even more.
So, even though he knew that dropping the flag would allow him to leave the gambling alive, Han Ze did not put it down.
After getting the flag, he ran towards the edge of the maze as fast as he could, hoping to reach the finish line before anyone else.
Han Ze’s position wasn’t too deep inside the maze, but it wasn’t very close to the outer edge either.
Moreover, there were various dead ends and dangers along the way, so even if he ran with all his might, it would take at least twenty minutes.
Ruan Qing had already done his best to help Han Ze find the way, but he still couldn’t make it before the others.
He watched as Su Zhen and Feng Ye emerged from the maze before Han Ze, and finally lowered his gaze lightly.
Ruan Qing had nine flags in his hand, and if someone took the flags from him, his team would undoubtedly lose.
However, Su Zhen and Feng Ye, who had exited the maze, did not go to grab the flags. Instead, they swept a blank look at Ruan Qing, who was standing at the finish line, and then waited at the entrance of the maze.
They were waiting for Han Ze to come out.
In this situation, Ruan Qing couldn’t help Han Ze and had no way to intervene.
After all, in terms of combat power, he was at the bottom.
Ruan Qing told Han Ze about the situation and gave him the choice.
Whether to abandon the flag or continue carrying it out was entirely up to Han Ze.
Han Ze, hearing Ruan Qing’s words, did not hesitate at all and continued rushing towards the entrance of the maze as fast as he could.
The fewer people at the maze entrance, the better for him.
Otherwise, if everyone reached the entrance, his enemies would multiply.
With only two people, it wasn’t impossible to win the gambling.
As he ran, Han Ze broke the flag and put it in his pocket, knowing that he wouldn’t have time to care about it during the fight.
He had only two goals now.
First, the flag must not be taken.
Second, he must not die.
Getting closer and closer to the maze entrance, Han Ze did not slow down but charged out, body tense and ready for battle.
The Life and Death Casino’s shop had various restorative and healing potions, and as long as he had a breath left, he wouldn’t die.
So, from start to finish, Han Ze never intended to leave the gambling unscathed but aimed to exchange his body’s endurance for the greatest possibility of success.
Seeing Han Ze’s charging figure, the two at the maze entrance did not hesitate and attacked directly.
Su Zhen immediately used puppet strings, trying to control Han Ze.
Sensing that the black strings were problematic, Han Ze dodged them as they approached and directly cut the ones he couldn’t avoid.
The black silk threads did not touch him at all.
But Su Zhen was the final boss of a high-level instance. It’s not just his puppet threads that were formidable; his combat ability was also astonishing.
Even in a one-on-one fight, Han Ze might not be able to defeat him, let alone with Feng Ye present.
Feng Ye’s combat ability wasn’t particularly overwhelming, but he seemed to have a knack for prediction, always managing to evade Han Ze’s attacks before they land.
He also always managed to block Han Ze’s retreat path whenever he tried to withdraw.
It’s as if he knew all of Han Ze’s thoughts.
Under Feng Ye’s predictive blockades, Han Ze’s situation became extremely difficult.
He couldn’t advance, couldn’t retreat, and couldn’t find any opportunity to dash towards the finish line.
The longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous it became for Han Ze.
Han Ze had mentally prepared himself in the maze, but he didn’t expect these two to be even more terrifying than he imagined, putting him at a complete disadvantage.
Ruan Qing, due to his frail condition, couldn’t fight, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t understand the battle among the three.
Han Ze wasn’t speed-oriented; he relied more on strength and brute force. In this context, the speed of their fight wasn’t so fast that it was imperceptible to the naked eye.
Watching the battle, Ruan Qing softly said, “Don’t retreat, go to the left.”
Hearing the familiar voice from his earpiece, Han Ze instinctively followed the instructions and dodged to the left.
He perfectly evaded Su Zhen’s attack and also escaped Feng Ye’s blockade.
Feng Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly for a moment, then he attacked Han Ze again.
Ruan Qing continued to give quiet commands, and Han Ze followed them to the letter, never doubting Ruan Qing for a moment, doing exactly as he said.
He didn’t distrust Ruan Qing at all just because he lacked combat ability.
For a moment, the situation improved slightly, but only slightly. Han Ze still found it hard to find an opportunity to charge towards the finish line.
Because while Su Zhen and Feng Ye were fighting, they were also tightly sealing off the path to the finish line, making it difficult to find a breakthrough.
The livestream audience was shocked.
[Wow! Who is this guy!? He’s managing to hold out for so long against the combined forces of Su Zhen and Feng Ye???]
[Wow, he’s impressive! I thought he was just an idiot before, but it turns out the real idiot is me.]
[I’ve thought about the fact that this fool’s combat ability isn’t low. After all, anyone who can beat the staff at the Life and Death Casino can’t be weak. But I didn’t expect him to be able to fight against the big shot Su Zhen.]
The players were also extremely surprised. Even though that man was being suppressed by Su Zhen and Feng Ye, it was still enough to shock them.
You have to know that there were advanced players among them, but none of them could last even a single round against Su Zhen, and they might even be controlled.
But this fool, not only could he dodge Su Zhen’s attacks, but he could also simultaneously keep an eye on Su Zhen’s puppet strings, not letting a single thread touch him.
This was absolutely not something an ordinary person could do.
In a dungeon, other than the dungeon boss, there had never been an NPC with such heaven-defying combat power.
Who on earth was this Han Ze?
Could it be another big shot in disguise?
The players subconsciously glanced at Ruan Qing, who was speaking not far away, suddenly feeling that this might not be impossible.
But regardless of whether it was or not, being able to be in the same team as this person, and even getting a promise of a kiss as a reward for winning, already seemed like a complete victory over the other big shots.
However, saying something like a kiss as a reward in front of other big shots almost sounds like sending the fool to his death.
It didn’t really seem like a victory.
For a moment, the players’ gazes were somewhat subtle.
As time passed bit by bit, the injuries on Han Ze increased, to the point where his clothes were completely stained red.
Even his handsome face was not spared.
And because too much time had passed, the other people in the maze also came out.
Naturally, no one was going to help Han Ze; instead, a few more enemies joined.
As soon as those few people came out, they immediately joined the battle, making Han Ze’s situation even more difficult.
He was already struggling with just two people, let alone now with even more people. He was almost at a dead end.
However, not everyone in the maze joined the fight. The maid boy did not.
The maid boy was the last to leave the maze. When he heard the voice broadcast, he did not rush, but continued to walk out of the maze at his previous speed.
After leaving the maze, he just stood by and watched, neither helping Han Ze nor the others.
It was as if he was watching a show, with a relaxed and leisurely demeanor.
Even when Ruan Qing looked over, the maid boy ambiguously blew a kiss towards him.
This seemed somewhat out of place with the nearby battle, and even with the entire gambling scene.
The maid boy himself seemed out of place in the Life and Death Casino; no one knew where he came from or who he really was.
When Ruan Qing saw the maid boy’s kiss, he simply looked away, as if he hadn’t seen it at all.
The battle was clearly one-sided; even with Ruan Qing’s command, it was to no avail.
No matter how he commanded, the gap could not be bridged.
The players sneaked a glance at Ruan Qing, seeing him watching calmly without a hint of sadness on his face.
Their earlier suspicions grew stronger.
Indeed, that fool must have offended him; otherwise, he wouldn’t be watching him die without a care.
The players didn’t dare to look more and turned their gaze back to the battle.
There was no suspense left; that fool was doomed to die.
The spectators knew this, and so did Han Ze.
But he didn’t want to give up, nor did he want to die here.
He hadn’t followed the young man yet, nor received his kiss.
As long as he reached the finish line, the gamble would be over.
Once the gamble ended, the Life and Death Casino’s rules wouldn’t allow any use of force.
Han Ze disregarded his own injuries, fighting in the most reckless manner, almost without any strategy.
Bloodstains on his body increased, and there were many fatal wounds, but Han Ze ignored them, as if he felt no pain at all.
In a joint fight, confusion and accidental injuries were common, and no one cared if they hurt each other.
In Han Ze’s chaotic fighting, the scene became even more chaotic.
Finally, Han Ze found an opportunity. He did not avoid a fatal attack from one of them, using his last bit of strength to charge towards the finish line with the force of that attack.
The finish line was getting closer and closer.
i rly want to see han ze receive that kiss as a reward!!! <33
