Chapter 162 Sacrificing the pawn to save the king? The standings reappear.
The black [Self-Destructing Demon Spider] lay quietly in Chen Yifan's palm.
The intricate patterns on the surface of the bead alternate between light and dark.
Like a beating heart.
A deadly energy surge spread out like ripples.
The ferocity and ecstasy on Zhou Kai's face froze instantly.
Instead, there was an uncontrollable sense of horror and fear.
Of course he recognized it.
This guy... is insane!
"You dare!"
Zhou Kai squeezed out two words through clenched teeth, his voice trembling.
Detonate it, and they'll both be eliminated!
"You'll see if I dare."
Chen Yifan's smile remained kind.
But there was no emotional fluctuation in those calm eyes.
It was as if he wasn't holding a bomb.
It was just an ordinary stone.
Chen Yifan stopped talking and flicked his finger lightly.
Om-!
The [Self-Destructing Spider] was activated, and the magic patterns on its surface instantly shone brightly, with a destructive energy accumulating wildly within it.
"Grass!"
Zhou Kai let out a terrified curse, his survival instinct overriding everything else.
He no longer cared about killing Chen Yifan.
They didn't even have time to think about why the other party dared to use this thing.
At such close range, isn't this guy afraid of being caught in the crossfire?
Zhou Kai twisted his body in an extremely contorted position, ignoring the internal injuries he suffered, and lunged madly toward the cave entrance!
"Brother Kai!"
"Run! It's a self-destructing spider!"
His teammates, who were still fighting Wang Fugui, were all terrified when they saw this scene. They abandoned their opponents and ran away.
However, Chen Yifan's timing in activating the Demon Spider was perfect.
This was the moment when their offensive was at its most intense.
and!
Couldn't he have guessed that these people would run away when they saw this thing?
Unfortunately, with that kind of speed, how could she possibly outrun him?
Goodbye, my fellow "partners of justice".
Chen Yifan whispered.
[Hand Speed Boost]
He hurled the self-destructing spider fiercely toward the exit.
At the same time, his figure silently slid back several meters, disappearing into the shadows of the deepest part of the cave.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu felt something binding their waists.
With a sudden lightness, she was pulled behind Chen Yifan.
next second.
A dozen or so enormous shields, formed from shadows, blocked the way for the three.
Boom-! ! ! !
An indescribable roar, accompanied by a blinding white light, exploded inside the cave!
The terrifying energy shockwave, like an invisible behemoth, instantly devoured everything.
The two students from the Seventh Middle School who were closest to the explosion center didn't even have time to scream before their bodies turned into data streams in the white light and were forcibly teleported out of the game.
The others who had run a little further away were also violently thrown back by the shockwave, crashing into the cave wall like broken sacks, their bodies glowing with a red light indicating impending elimination.
The entire waterfall cave shook violently, and huge rocks fell from the cave ceiling as if it would collapse at any moment.
Even the cascading waterfall outside the cave was briefly interrupted by the violent explosion!
Smoke and dust filled the air.
After a long time, everything gradually calmed down.
"Wow, that's incredibly powerful..."
Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu tilted their heads, their faces turning pale as they witnessed the explosion; they were clearly terrified by its power.
Chen Yifan, on the other hand, patted off non-existent dust from his body, looking completely nonchalant.
At the entrance of the cave.
Zhou Kai struggled to get up from the ground. At the most critical moment, he had used a teammate's body as a human shield to barely avoid being eliminated directly.
But at this moment, he was also bleeding from a head wound and his breath was weak.
He looked at his two remaining seriously injured teammates, then at the devastated cave, and at Chen Yifan, who was unharmed.
His mind went blank with a "buzz".
Lost.
They suffered a complete and utter defeat.
His prized A-level talent and his meticulously trained team were as fragile as a sheet of paper in the face of this madman who never played by the rules.
"You...you..."
Zhou Kai pointed at Chen Yifan, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.
"I told you, I hate fighting and killing." Chen Yifan shrugged, his "harmless" smile returning to his face. "You forced me to do it."
He glanced at the two teammates beside Zhou Kai who had already lost their fighting ability and shook his head.
"Never mind, you look pretty pathetic."
After saying that, he surprisingly didn't choose to kill them all. Instead, he turned around and said to the still bewildered Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu:
"Let's go! Let's go! If we don't leave now, the others will be here!"
"Huh? Brother Fan, that...that bag..."
Wang Fugui pointed to a material pack filled with "massive points" that had rolled to the side due to the shockwave of the explosion not far away.
"Forget it!" Chen Yifan roared without turning around. "Is your life more important or your points? Hurry up and get to the next recycling point to make up for your losses!"
He pulled Wang Fugui along and then winked at Lin Xiaoyu.
The three of them, in a "hasty escape" manner, slipped out through another crack in the cave and quickly disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
The entire cave fell into an instant of deathly silence.
Only Zhou Kai and two surviving teammates remained, standing there dumbfounded.
Ran?
He just... ran away like that?
Zhou Kai stared in the direction Chen Yifan had disappeared, then looked at the huge, intact materials package not far away, and his mind was momentarily blank.
Sacrifice the pawn to save the king?
Yes.
What he threw away was a "car" full of "points"!
What he preserved was his own "handsomeness," which allowed him to continue exchanging points at the "recycling point"!
He is afraid!
He was afraid that making too much noise would attract even more people...
They were even afraid of being eliminated, so they went out to demand an explanation and expose the secret.
At this moment, a flame rekindled in Zhou Kai's eyes, which had been dulled by the crushing defeat.
"Brother Kai..." a team member began, his voice trembling, "We..."
Just then.
[Map-wide announcement: Three hours have passed since the start of the assessment. The list of the top 100 candidates based on current scores has been updated.]
The cold, automated voice sounded again.
Zhou Kai subconsciously looked up, and a virtual light screen popped up.
When his gaze fell on the name at the top of the list, the ecstasy on his face froze once again.
[First Place: Chen Yifan (Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School) - Points: 338]
Second Place: Su Qingxue (Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School) - Points: 112
[Third Place: A handsome guy who wishes to remain anonymous (source unknown) - Points: 65]
……
Zhou Kai's ranking has fallen out of the top ten.
Not long after Chen Yifan's "hasty escape," his points not only did not decrease, but instead... surged by 50 points!
He held the heavy "garbage" in his arms, then looked at the glaring number on the screen.
An unprecedented chill shot from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.
How did he... manage to do that?
