The captain and the two remaining players, who had not yet been eliminated, relaxed the moment they saw Han Ze appear. Their tense nerves suddenly loosened, and their whole bodies felt at ease.
This was likely the sense of security that came from receiving backup, coupled with the pride of having completed their task.
They had finally waited for him to return.
Originally, the captain and the two players had barely been holding on, gritting their teeth in persistence. But once they relaxed, they collapsed to the ground, completely drained of strength.
At this point, they were no longer of any use in the gambling game.
The young man had also told them that once Han Ze returned, they could leave the game.
Without any hesitation, the three of them eliminated themselves using the red item.
In an instant, Han Ze was the only one left in the gambling game with any fighting capability.
Han Ze had no bloodstains on him. Nervous and afraid, he quickly checked on Ruan Qing. After seeing that he wasn’t injured, Han Ze finally let out a sigh of relief.
Then, he pulled Ruan Qing into his arms, and the fear and unease in his heart eased slightly.
Ruan Qing did not resist, obediently letting Han Ze hold him.
Not far away, the maid boy stood watching Han Ze’s return, the smile on his face unchanged.
It was as if he had been waiting for Han Ze to come back.
He probably had been waiting for Han Ze, after all. With the strength of those players, it would have been hard for them to hold on this long, even if they’d been willing to sacrifice their lives to do so.
Every second after Han Ze left had been filled with regret. There was no such thing as a safe gambling game in the Area Two of the Life and Death Casino.
Even though killing was prohibited in this gambling game, it was still extremely dangerous.
Han Ze feared that the young man would get hurt without him around. His mind was constantly filled with images of the young man being injured, which left him deeply unsettled.
But he couldn’t come back because the task the young man had given him was not yet completed. He could only force himself, amid this overwhelming fear and anxiety, to carry out the young man’s instructions.
Luckily, this person was unharmed.
After feeling the reassuring sound of Ruan Qing’s heartbeat, Han Ze’s emotions finally calmed down.
However, Han Ze didn’t forget that they were still in the gambling game. Reluctantly, he let go of Ruan Qing, then turned to face the maid boy.
His gaze instantly became incredibly sharp.
The maid boy chuckled ambiguously, his eyes taking on a more dangerous and serious gleam, no longer carrying the previous indifference.
The two stood facing each other, with an air of danger and tension lingering around them.
The maid boy narrowed his eyes slightly, followed by a sudden “bang.” Green vines shot up from behind him, entwining around him.
The aura of the green vines was no longer restrained in the slightest, and a terrifying presence spread through the air.
Even just watching through the screen, fear would completely overwhelm one’s mind.
The sense of safety that had just come with Han Ze’s arrival disappeared in an instant, replaced by danger and terror.
It was a fear that was irresistible, making one uncontrollably scared and trembling.
The viewers in the live stream also genuinely felt that fear, their spines tingling as goosebumps rose all over their bodies.
Was this the boss of a high-level dungeon?
It was terrifying.
At this moment, not only did the players began to doubt, but even the gamblers and spectators watching started to question.
Was there really a chance to win when betting against such a being?
The spectators and gamblers didn’t know, nor did the players involved in the gamble.
Players without combat ability simply chose to leave the gamble, but Xia Yi didn’t.
She stood beside Ruan Qing, watching the terrifying battle unfold before her. One hand gripped the long dagger tightly in her arms, while the other nervously clutched the corner of Ruan Qing’s clothing.
Ruan Qing didn’t look at Xia Yi, but instead gently patted her head in a soothing manner, keeping his focus on the ongoing battle.
The maid boy didn’t seem as strong as Han Ze, but with his control over the green vines, Han Ze was completely at a disadvantage.
Whenever the green vines were cut, golden-yellow sap would ooze out, attempting to devour everything around it.
Even the force Han Ze struck with was no exception.
The maid boy kept hiding behind the green vines, and without cutting through the vines, it was almost impossible to attack him directly.
The situation had reached a stalemate, with no apparent solution in sight.
The golden-yellow sap, which could devour everything, clung to everything like a bone-eating parasite, radiating a chilling and dangerous aura.
In just ten minutes, the entire gambling arena had been utterly destroyed.
The Area Two of the Life and Death Casino existed in a special dimension with an automatic restoration ability. No matter how much damage was done, it could revert to its original state once it reached a certain level of destruction.
At this moment, cracks were everywhere. The ground had bottomless abysses, and even the sky started to distort.
It was as if looking through flames at space itself, with overlapping fluctuations, occasionally revealing something black.
Like a small black hole, even light couldn’t penetrate.
Throughout the entire betting arena, only the area where Ruan Qing stood remained unaffected.
Yet, the terrifying aura couldn’t be suppressed, making everyone feel weak and unable to move. Even the slightest movement became difficult.
If Xia Yi hadn’t tightly grabbed Ruan Qing’s sleeve from the start, she probably would have collapsed to the ground, unable to hold herself up.
Ruan Qing wasn’t faring much better. His delicate face had turned pale, and he was gripping his phone tightly just to barely remain standing.
He was holding on so tightly that his slender, pale fingers were slightly engorged, tinged with a faint pink, looking particularly beautiful.
But at this moment, no one noticed.
Green vines completely covered the sky, blocking out the sun, making it hard for the surrounding gamblers to clearly see the situation between the two.
They could only keenly feel that terrifying aura.
So small, so powerless.
In the world of the infinite horror game, it wasn’t unheard of for someone to fight a dungeon boss, but no player had ever lasted this long.
Most of the time, they’d be killed in one move.
This was the first time viewers in the live stream had seen the true power of a dungeon boss.
[Boss is truly boss-level. This thing is simply unbeatable! If I ran into a boss like this, I’d just give up on the spot.]
[I’m sorry, big dumb guy! I might have spoken too loudly earlier, I didn’t realize you were so strong, boohoo. You’ve got to hang in there! If you can win this gamble for my wife, I’ll admit that you’re the only dog my wife needs.]
[Even though it’s nighttime now, I still have to say, stop dreaming. There’s no way to win this gamble. That big dumb guy is probably going to lose.]
i feel like we're reaching the end
