Chapter 62

At the end of the Great Labyrinth's passage, there is a golden light curtain. After passing through it, one enters a palace.

The palace is as large as a soccer field, dimly lit, like a house on a cloudy, rainy day, which feels very oppressive.

Some glowing plankton float in the air, and no one knows if they are dangerous, but the players try to avoid them as much as possible.

On the walls of the palace, there are many protruding murals and statues, giving a mysterious and cold feeling.

"Sniff, I want to go home!"

Zhao Caiwei sat on the ground, hugging her knees, sobbing softly.

"Can you stop crying? It's annoying to hear!"

Shen Jingran frowned deeply: "Instead of thinking about your mom, you should worry about Sun Yuan. If he doesn't survive, we're all doomed."

"What is the team leader doing? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Zhao Siyu was very anxious. Without Sun Yuan, she felt like she had lost her backbone.

"Siyu, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

Xu Qingshan comforted her: "And don't worry too much. Sun Yuan is so strong, he'll be fine."

"Right, we've all made it here safely following the map. How could our senior be in trouble?"

Zhen Yu said this, but it was more for self-comfort. Her doll-like face was full of worry.

Senior, you must be okay!

Otherwise, how can I, this little loyal dog, survive?

Zhao Siyu felt helpless. She didn't know why, but even though Xu Qingshan was also very good to her and might risk his life to save her, she just felt reassured. When she was with Sun Yuan, she felt a sense of security.

Perhaps it's the difference in ability?

Zhao Siyu didn't think Xu Qingshan could lead them out of this predicament.

"Regardless, we are a team now. We need to support each other to get out of here!"

When Shen Jingran said this, her eyes scanned the surroundings, observing the players who had already gathered here.

There were forty-two people.

Among them, the Tang siblings were probably the strongest.

There was also a young man with a Miao knife, a lone wolf with triangular eyes who always squinted, looking fierce and not to be messed with.

The other players were in teams, clearly huddling together for warmth, knowing that it was hard to survive alone.

The most eye-catching was a fifteen-person team.

Their leader was a young man nearly 1.9 meters tall, broad-shouldered and muscular, wearing a red sports shorts and tank top.

Shen Jingran recognized this man, named Du Bing, a star of the school's sports team, specially recruited, and said to have already joined the provincial team, with the ability to win medals at the National Games.

He sat on the ground with his legs spread, eyes closed, resting. Two girls knelt beside him, massaging his muscles to relax.

Shen Jingran's gaze fell on his right hand.

Du Bing held a green longbow, with an eagle spreading its wings carved on the bow arm, looking both magnificent and imposing.

No need to ask, this was definitely an epic piece of equipment.

"Hey, beautiful, what are you looking at?"

Du Bing opened his eyes, meeting Shen Jingran's gaze, and smiled. Then he sized her up, his eyes first lingering on her face, then sliding down her white neck, and finally landing on her chest.

This size, I can't even grab it with one hand.

Du Bing muttered, his gaze unrestrained, finally landing on Shen Jingran's legs.

Tsk!

Long legs, my type.

Du Bing's gaze was too invasive, like he was selecting merchandise, making Shen Jingran very uncomfortable. She instinctively crossed her arms and turned her body slightly.

"Team leader, that girl is Nangong Yu'er, a popular streamer on Shark Platform!"

Zhang Ping pointed at Zhen Yu and introduced her to Du Bing.

Du Bing looked at Zhen Yu.

Is it her?

Her figure is too petite.

I could swallow her in one bite.

But she looks so young, especially in her JK uniform, looking youthful and lively, cute and adorable.

I don't like this type of girl, but I haven't tasted a junior high school girl yet. I can give it a try.

"Team leader, should I invite her to join our team?"

Zhang Ping wasn't a fan of Zhen Yu; he just lusted after these pretty streamers. If he could play with them, it would be even better.

"Go ahead, I don't mind bringing one or two more deadweights."

Du Bing's gaze fell on Shen Jingran again: "Invite that girl as well."

Zhang Ping knew Du Bing had his eye on Shen Jingran and immediately promised to complete the task.

"I'll go with you!"

Wang Fei, who had been sitting and resting, stood up, dusted off the dirt on his pants, and followed.

He had his eye on Xu Qingshan's weapon and planned to take it.

When Zhang Ping and Wang Fei approached, Zhao Siyu and her group immediately tensed up.

I hope there won't be any trouble.

In the Tower of God, it's a world of the strong preying on the weak. Players can only avoid being harmed if they are strong enough.

"Hello, Nangong Yu'er, I'm your fan!"

Zhang Ping smiled and extended his hand to Zhen Yu: "Shake hands, okay?"

"Sorry, I'm injured."

Zhen Yu refused. She was usually very nice to her fans, and taking photos and shaking hands were no problem, but today she didn't want to because Zhang Ping's smile made her feel very creepy.

"Tsk, no wonder you're a popular streamer, so aloof."

Zhang Ping spoke sarcastically. Female streamers were all the same, acting like goddesses on the surface, but when they saw the top donors on the donation list, they were all kneeling and licking.

Many of them even went to hotels privately.

Zhen Yu turned her head and ignored him.

"Beautiful, what's your name?"

Zhang Ping looked at Shen Jingran: "Our team leader is kind-hearted and invites you to join our team."

"No interest!"

Shen Jingran was very annoyed. The other party's attitude was too condescending. If this happened at school, she would have already confronted them.

But not today. If a conflict broke out, she couldn't fight them and would definitely be beaten up.

Sigh!

If Sun Yuan were here, it would be fine.

"Beautiful, did you see the bow in our team leader's hand? It's called the Eagle Strike Longbow, a rare weapon. Killing monsters is like slicing through melons and vegetables. Now look at your team..."

Zhang Ping's gaze swept over Xu Qingshan and Qin De, landing on their weapons: "Just two words, noobs."

As for the injured Zhuo Wen, Zhang Ping didn't even glance at him.

Because he wasn't worth mentioning.

"What did you say?"

Xu Qingshan, feeling belittled, was very angry and took a step forward, standing in front of Zhang Ping.

"Qingshan, don't be impulsive."

Qin De grabbed Xu Qingshan and smiled apologetically at Zhang Ping: "Brother, let's not make things worse. We can coexist peacefully."

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Ping laughed and suddenly raised his hand, slapping Qin De's face.

Slap!

The slap was crisp.

Qin De was stunned, then his face turned red with anger, and he clenched his fists.

"I don't care about your water. I'll make trouble, what can you do?"

Zhang Ping sneered.

He liked this world that followed the law of the jungle. Girls he couldn't get before could now be played with like an inflatable doll.

Dare to resist?

I'll beat you to death.

In the previous game, Zhang Ping had already killed five people, let alone just slapping Qin De.

Moreover, he did this to take their weapons.

If they got angry and started fighting, Du Bing would immediately kill them, and their weapons would naturally become his.

Besides, this game is so hard, who knows if they can survive to the end. Sleeping with a popular streamer would be worth it even if he died.

Zhang Ping sniffed and his gaze fell on Zhen Yu's legs in long stockings.

Before, when everyone in the chat said to show their feet, you always acted aloof and refused. Soon, I'll personally record a video of you taking off your stockings and post it online.

The title will be "Nangong Yu'er's Stocking Show."

"Ha ha, brother, I've already hit your face. Can we stop here?"

Qin De backed down again.

"Are you a man?"

Xu Qingshan frowned. If it were him, he would have already fought back.

"Let's wait for the team leader to come. If we fight now, we'll be the ones to suffer."

Qin De reminded Xu Qingshan to hold back.

Du Bing's team had fifteen members, seven of whom were boys. On their side, there were only three, and Zhuo Wen had a broken arm. If they fought, they would lose even without the epic weapons.

"Beautiful, can this coward protect you?"

Zhang Ping mocked and suddenly reached out to grab Zhen Yu's chest.

Let me touch first.

"What are you doing?"

Zhen Yu stepped back quickly, shouting and pulling out her anger slingshot, aiming it at Zhang Ping.

"Brother, you're..."

Qin De was about to scold Zhang Ping, but Xu Qingshan acted directly, charging forward to punch this despicable guy.

Zhang Ping and Wang Fei had默契 (默契 means默契, which can be translated as "understanding" or "coordination" in this context) and attacked Xu Qingshan from both sides. Zhang Ping was very cunning, flipping his wrist to pull out a stun gun and jabbing it into Xu Qingshan's stomach.

Zap!

The electric shock hit, and Xu Qingshan's body went numb, collapsing to the ground.

"Qingshan!"

Zhao Siyu was very anxious.

"It's over!"

Shen Jingran was desperate. Du Bing and his group had clearly abandoned their moral底线 (底线 means "bottom line" or "moral底线" in this context). If she fell into their hands, she didn't know what kind of abuse she would suffer.

No,

Shen Jingran, you are a woman who aspires to be a savior. You can't give up so quickly.

Think of a way!

Just as Shen Jingran was racking her brain, she suddenly heard Zhen Yu's excited shout.

"Senior!"

Shen Jingran instinctively looked at the golden light curtain, and Sun Yuan's tall and imposing figure walked in, looking both graceful and composed.
