As the figure above appeared, discussions arose among the crowd, and the passageway quickly became noisy.

Chen Ping moved nimbly through the crowd, skillfully weaving between various discussion groups, and finally found a relatively quiet corner where many female participants had gathered. A faint fragrance filled the air, and the atmosphere here was much fresher and more pleasant compared to other places.

Chen Ping felt slightly puzzled. Logically speaking, every participant present should have at least the strength of a god, and should have the basic ability to regulate body odor. Moreover, there had not been any intense activities in the square that would make people sweat profusely.

So, where did this occasional stench of sweat come from? He couldn't help but sniff his own clothes with a self-deprecating smile, confirming that there was no odor, which confirmed that the unpleasant smell was coming from an outsider.

He decided to stop wasting his time on this trivial matter and instead focus his attention back on the current situation. As the discussion in the passageway grew more heated, Chen Ping keenly caught some valuable snippets of information. People were talking about their speculations about the challenges to come and their respective prepared strategies.

There were also some people asking to team up, and clearly, the figures above were the ones who would announce the details of the event.

Soon, the people in the passage will begin to split into countless small groups. Of course, there are quite a few lone wolves like Chen Ping, and they are even more eye-catching. After all, those who choose to act alone are all powerful beings, and 70% of them are at the peak of the God King realm.

With everyone's teams confirmed, the people in the Death Arena above began to speak.

Suddenly, the figure above pulled out a microphone and started testing the sound, saying, "Hello! Hmm! It seems everyone can hear me clearly, so I'll confidently explain the rules of this event. Please listen carefully and don't make any mistakes."

Seeing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but twitch his lips. This feels like a total rip-off! Hey!

The shadowy figure was unaware of Chen Ping's thoughts and immediately began explaining the rules of the event.

"First of all, on behalf of the Death Arena headquarters, I welcome all challengers to participate in the Death Arena's once-in-a-century event! We are truly grateful and honored that so many people have come to participate."

Many people glanced at the figure with disdain upon hearing this. "Are you kidding me? Who the hell wants to participate? Isn't this just forced teleportation? If that beam of light could be destroyed, I would have destroyed it long ago."

The figure ignored the thoughts of those below and immediately began announcing the rules.

"This centennial event of the Death Arena is a special event 'Mistaken Kill' sponsored by Heaven, Hell, and the Beast Realm!"

Good grief, Chen Ping is out of character again. There's even such a thing as sponsorship here?

"Now we will announce the rules, which are as follows. Please remember them, challengers, because in a little while, you will be teleported to the destination of this event."

Rule 1, 'Mistakes by Accident': In this event, your goal is not to kill each other, but to avoid accidentally harming friendly forces. Each participant will be randomly assigned an identity marker, which will only be revealed through specific interactions.

Your mission is to identify and protect your true teammates while protecting your own secrets. Accidentally killing a teammate will result in point deductions, and in severe cases, you will face direct elimination.

Rule 2, 'On the Brink of Life and Death': The activity area will be filled with unknown dangers and traps. These crises can not only cause immediate damage, but also trigger a special 'Life and Death Card' mechanism.

Once triggered, you will face two choices: accept an extremely difficult challenge, with a generous reward upon success; or deduct a large number of points in exchange for a chance to survive. Remember, every choice is a matter of life and death.

Rule 3, 'Reversing Fate': During the event, 'Reversal Cards' that can change the fate of participants will randomly appear. The person who picks up the card can choose to use it to exchange identity tokens with any other participant, but must immediately complete a designated task after use, otherwise they will be penalized.

Rule 4, 'Fountain of Resurrection': The legendary 'Fountain of Resurrection' is hidden within the event area. The team that discovers and activates it will grant all team members a chance to revive. However, the location of the fountain changes periodically and is guarded by powerful guardians. Capturing the fountain will be a test of both wisdom and courage.

Rule 5, 'The Final Judgment': In the final stage of the event, all surviving teams will enter the 'Judgment Grounds' for a final showdown. At this time, all identities will be revealed, and former enemies may become allies, and vice versa.

At this stage, cooperation and betrayal among teams will determine the final victory. Remember, the true victors are often those who best understand how to assess the situation.

These are the five core rules of the "Wrongful Kill" event. Challengers, please prepare yourselves; the event will officially begin in ten minutes. May wisdom and courage accompany you, and we look forward to your outstanding performance.

After the rules were explained, the figure above disappeared, and a countdown timer appeared, showing a 30-minute countdown.

As the rules were announced, the entire passage fell silent, each participant pondering how to survive and win in this intricate game.

Chen Ping was no exception. He closed his eyes and quickly thought through the five rules in his mind. Then he found that it seemed that the rules had no effect on him.

Because he's a lone wolf, these new rules seem to offer many advantages to lone wolves. However, the existence of rules 3 and 4, to some extent, restricts lone wolves.

Rule 3: If a lone wolf is assigned a task beyond their capabilities, they may have to call GG.

Rule 4 states that while the Fountain of Resurrection also works for lone wolves, it is clearly not as cost-effective as teaming up. This is because when a team gets the Fountain of Resurrection, it doesn't just give them one resurrection opportunity, but rather N times the number of team members.

Of course, the teams are also very unstable because rules 1 and 5 are very disadvantageous to the team members. You don't know if your teammates will become enemies in the end, but at least you can cooperate in the early stages, right?

So overall, the team has an advantage over the lone wolf. After all, the team will only fall apart when they reach the final level, and the team has a greater advantage in the early stages.
