Chapter 1623: Chapter 519: Veteran Driver Duo_2

In a way, Liu Jianxin and I aren’t too unlucky, at least we don’t have some useless skill like making our butts glow. The practicality of the skills is not a problem.

It’s just that...

After time-stop is activated, the effect is too obvious.

Everything around stands still, and for the audience accustomed to guessing games, they’ll immediately think of time-stop.

In terms of skill strength, hypnosis and time-stop are both overpowered.

But in terms of guessing difficulty, this game might not be easy.

At the moment, I can’t use my abilities because this is considered a "safe zone." Only after leaving the safe zone and entering the Dark Forest to start facing the challenges can abilities be activated.

Wen Xishu said:

"Let’s go, let’s leave here first."

...

...

The calico cat was already waiting outside:

"Meow hehe, you guys drew quite the abilities. Oh, I should tell you, five people have already been eliminated."

"Now, the remaining number is 35 people."

"Next, I’ll guide you to the entrance. Do you want to explore as a team? Or choose to go solo?"

"If you choose to explore as a team, then you’ll become allied units."

"Of course, during exploration, if you encounter other challengers, you can also try to issue an alliance request."

"But of course, you can also eliminate other competitors by guessing their ability, like pointing out someone in the audience. If you guess wrong, there will be a cooldown, but if you guess correctly, meow hehe, you’ll get extra points."

Wen Xishu asked:

"What are the points used for?"

The calico cat issued a meow laugh:

"Meow hehehe, they’re very useful, as they allow you to exchange for better identities in Libra City."

This was quite like climbing the Deceit Tower, which piqued Wen Xishu’s interest.

Once again, Wen Xishu saw a dark, gaping entrance resembling the entrance to a forest.

He thought for a moment:

"I’ll team up with him, treating each other as allied units."

Liu Jianxin said:

"Agreed, agreed, Wen and I are like brothers surviving life and death together."

The calico cat said:

"Meow, follow me then, once you enter the forest, you’ll appear at a random location. Hehe, you might be very close to the refuge, but no matter how close, you cannot enter the refuge until you’ve utilized your abilities three times, meow."

After saying that, the calico cat wagged its tail, bounced away, and quickly disappeared.

Wen Xishu and Liu Jianxin exchanged glances, knowing the game had already started.

The two wasted no time as they walked directly into the gaping entrance.

...

...

Pitch black, absolute darkness.

When Wen Xishu entered the entrance, he immediately felt a familiar dizziness. He understood very well that it was the discomfort brought by spatial transfer.

Once he adapted to this dizziness, he discovered he was in a completely dark place.

[Dark Zone, survival difficulty level: 7.]

[Monsters highly sensitive to light hide here; you can communicate in the dark, but it’s best not to release "light," otherwise, there will be fatal danger.]

Wen Xishu furrowed his brows.

It was so dark here you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. Even with his powerful night vision ability, he couldn’t make out anything.

Stepping on the ground, Wen Xishu heard the sound of bones crunching beneath him.

It seemed he had... accidentally stepped on someone’s skull.

The immediate noise shattered the silence.

"Who’s there?"

"Not one of us."

"The newcomer?"

"Looks quite..."

"Shh! Shut up."

Five people spoke.

It seemed there were other survival teams in the Dark Zone. Wen Xishu quickly noticed someone had made a mistake.

But he didn’t mind:

"I’m the newcomer."

Hearing Wen Xishu’s voice, a familiar voice came:

"Wen, I’m here, I’ll find you."

Liu Jianxin’s voice echoed.

It was absolutely pitch black, and no one knew what was around them; they could only position themselves based on sounds.

In fact, Liu Jianxin was least affected because he had practiced blind sword techniques with sound positioning and was quite accomplished at it.

However, Liu Jianxin chose not to speak much at first, waiting for Wen Xishu to make a sound.

After confirming it was Wen Xishu, Liu Jianxin quickly came to his side. The surrounding people only heard two or three footsteps.

Wen Xishu sensed Liu Jianxin’s presence too. The absolute darkness didn’t particularly intimidate him since his five senses were sharp.

Currently, there were seven people in the Dark Zone, with five comprising one team. Wen Xishu was sure these five weren’t neutral passersby but a small group.

Because someone had made a mistake earlier.

He heard it, at the four o’clock direction, when a woman spoke up not long ago: "Looks quite..."

The sentence was suddenly interrupted by a companion.

In such an environment, it was rare to see someone’s appearance. It was likely someone with superpower abilities.

However, Wen Xishu chose not to "eliminate" them, suspecting it might be a test, and whispered to Liu Jianxin:

"Old Liu, absolutely don’t use your ability."

Liu Jianxin indeed wanted to use his ability, given the overwhelming darkness. But Wen Xishu stopped him. As soon as Wen Xishu spoke—

Liu Jianxin immediately sensed the seriousness of the situation.

[Currently, four thousand people speculate your ability is Visual Enhancement. Your ability has not been exposed.]

[Currently, one challenger speculates your ability is Visual Enhancement. Your ability has not been exposed.]

Liu Jianxin had an urge to curse. In such a dark environment, it was astonishing that someone could still see him?
