“Some monsters, if encountered, mean certain death, but they seem unable to leave this factory, so one just needs to run like mad to find an exit and leave.”

Ke Jie said in a deep voice, “But at the same time…

be careful, some exits are camouflaged…

murderous passages, where as soon as the door opens, a terrifying maw will swallow people whole!”

“Then…

one must either pay a million points to return to the Temple or bolster their protective guard.

Of course, if one doesn’t escape in time and sustains a fatal injury, the loss of points might even exceed a million.”

“OK, I’ll be careful.”

Many Audience members were gathering information and had uncovered quite a few of the lethal dangers here.

At least when combined with protection, they could accumulate points in the peripheral areas.

“However, it seems the stuff on the periphery is almost completely scavenged.”

Su Qi’s vision wasn’t affected by the gloom; the entire factory was a patchwork of rooms of all sizes, filled with various staircases, corridors, and identical rooms.

The huge area inside…

seemed endless.

He could see that others had been active, and of course, he could see flesh that had been torn apart and devoured.

“Normal…

after all, it has been exposed here that…

a core Hinge Item is stored,” someone sighed softly.

The so-called core Hinge Item…

was an item on the list that could double one’s points.

Extremely rare!

“The archway has many passages, but the passage worlds that possess a Hinge Item…

we’ve only identified fewer than ten so far, and they’re usually in extremely dangerous depths.”

“Every Hinge Item…

has many powerful people vying for it, with skirmishes and battles erupting.”

Su Qi murmured to himself, “I know this, in the few worlds I went to, there were intense battles ignited by the big powers over the Hinge Items.”

Ke Jie expressed surprise, “You were there too?”

He asked with interest, “I heard…

when a multitude of powers were battling over the Hinge Item, suddenly someone radiating light burst into the fray, snatching the Hinge Item right from under everyone’s noses.”

“Many people were furious, hunting down this person.”

“Is that true?”

Su Qi remained expressionless, “That…

I’m not sure, because I left pretty early.”

After all.

Leaving too late tends to lead to being encircled.

And indeed…

the one who snatched the Hinge Item before was him.

Points could increase the power of one’s protection and produce a faint halo of light around the body.

Over the past thirty-odd hours.

He had burned through twenty million points.

Only then did he manage to take the Hinge Item right from under everyone’s eyes.

Of course.

With a vast foundational pool of points, such expenditure was trifling.

After the Lucky Cat Bell incident…

it doubled, and now the Hinge Item had doubled it twice over; his points had now reached two billion.

He.

Coming here wasn’t to set his sights on this third Hinge Item, but rather to follow Doli’s instructions.

The first special item…

was right here.

“Now it’s about time.”

Every minute, every second, the Anxious Land…

was changing, the deep red of the Sky Dome growing denser, the Blood Rage Mark carved on his arm…

seemingly becoming more lethal.

In any case, none of this was good news for Su Qi.

After all, he was still looking to take advantage of Doli.

But clearly, he was the biggest victim.

“Hush, be careful…” Ke Jie tensed up, ducking his head to hide between the walls.

At this moment.

There was…

a shadow of a Monster at the door.

It was taking heavy steps, slowly passing by.

Everyone’s faces were tense.

Though they had collected information on some of the Monsters, there were always unexpected and frightening beings in this place.

Escape and avoidance were the main strategies, but if it really came to battle, they would burn points to bolster their protection to repel the Monsters.

Don’t think it’s just that…

even a second’s worth could cost tens of thousands of points.

And just then—

“Bang bang bang!”

Intense battle noises came from afar!

The sound seemed to draw the attention of the Monster before them; it slowly turned around and moved toward the direction of the noise.

“There are other people nearby as well.”

Ke Jie let out a breath, his eyelids twitching, “…to actually start a fight right here.”

“It’s either…

a last resort, or they have the strength to settle everything,” Su Qi murmured to himself, “I’m inclined to believe the latter.”

“People are looking for the Hinge Item from all directions…

This place already seems close to where the Hinge Item is located.”

“Have we unwittingly ventured that deep?” Ke Jie frowned, having no choice.

Since most of the periphery had been picked clean, to continue finding items on the list, one had to delve deeper.

“So what do you guys think?” Ke Jie looked at the others.

Someone shook their head, “We’re not after that thing.

We’re content just scavenging.”

“Since that’s the case, I think we should retreat for now…”

Su Qi didn’t object, but simply said,

“By the way, do you all remember the way back?”

Ke Jie nodded.

“No need to remember, I made a mark.

I left fluorescent powder on the path we came…”

“Unfortunately, your powder…

seems ineffective,” Su Qi turned to look back.

There were no traces left on the ground.

Ke Jie’s sweat immediately poured out: “What happened?

I always relied on this method to find my way back.”

“Actually, it’s okay.

I’ve already drawn the route.” Someone raised their hand, holding out a piece of paper: “Just an hour’s journey.”

Ke Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

Those who could survive up to now were all people with abilities, and even if he made a mistake, there was always someone who could propose another solution. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

“I also memorized the route in my head, but…

unfortunately.”

Su Qi opened the door leading back.

Inside, all sorts of blood-stained black hair bulged and swelled: “This path is blocked.”

“How could this be…”

Everyone’s expression changed.

“I have something else to remind you of…” Su Qi said, “Tie your shoelaces tight and warm up.”

“What do you mean?”

Su Qi looked at the walls where the hair was tumbling…

wrapped in blood, slowly and silently extending…

His vision clearly saw a handrail…

After being wrapped by a strand of hair, it snapped in two as if sliced by a sharp blade.

Hearing the sound of metal falling sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

They also noticed the hair strands around them had become denser than before!

Someone exclaimed in shock, “They are expanding.”

The next moment.

A large amount of black, blood-stained hair…

furiously extended, not very fast, but coming from all directions.

Everyone’s pupils constricted, they panicked, and immediately started to run in the direction without any hair strands.

“Be careful!

There’s some here too!”

“Damn it!”

“We can only run!”

“Run fast!”

There was fear on everyone’s faces.

No matter how slow these hair strands seemed, getting caught by just one meant…

a certain death.

A group of people was quickly leaping down a narrow, dark staircase!

The hair strands kept surging out and climbing endlessly.

The only thought in everyone’s mind was to run.

Su Qi’s vision wasn’t limited in the dark; he could see everything in the distance…

These hair strands came from a monster crawling on the ceiling, it had three heads and crawled upside down like a spider.

However.

He did not take action.

His goal was to delve deeper…

and these people, aiming to return the way they came, had only one path: death; he quietly helped them avoid quite a few…

certain-death monsters.

At this very moment.

Su Qi was deepening into the chases of the long-haired monster.

“Be careful, I see the ghost girl!”

Ke Jie’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he roared, “Avoid her!

Do not pass by her side!

Jump down from the staircase!”

They were incapable of attacking the ghost girl, or rather, to harm her required their protective power to be enhanced to a certain level.

But the moment everyone wanted to leap down the stairs,

the ghost girl’s terrifying and swollen face let out a sinister laugh, and unexpectedly, she pounced at them too!

Everyone felt chills all over, just about to turn back when—

“Slap!”

A loud smack rang crisply in the darkness!

Everyone turned and only saw Su Qi jumping down.

“Where’s the ghost girl?” Ke Jie asked, trembling with unease!

“She’s tired, gone to sleep.”

They saw the horrific ghost girl in a deep red dress, lying motionless on the handrail.

She actually fell asleep??

But there was no time to think, a massive amount of hair strands were closing in crazily along with the movement of the monster.

The next moment,

the ghost girl, struggling to lift her head, her whole swollen half-face revealed a bewildered look.

What just happened!
