Although they were somewhat reluctant, in order to continue the competition, they all cut off several centimeters of flesh from their arms or calves.
After the fifth person harmed himself, the knife was thrown in front of Xia Tianqiong.
The other contestants all looked at him because he stood there calmly the whole time.
The entire audience was watching, eager to see how he would break the rule.
Xia Tianqiong suddenly chuckled, "This is a game without an ending; only a fool would play it."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the contestants all darkened.
Isn't this an insult? And it insults them all.
Just as one of the contestants was about to say something, Xia Tianqiong suddenly made a move, whipping out vines to attack the robust young man.
The game of self-harm involves endless self-harm, round after round, until everyone else has died from self-harm, leaving only one person remaining.
Xia Tianqiong wasn't afraid of self-harm; she just didn't want to waste the Infant Fruit here.
He planned to trigger the rules and then subdue the self-harming monster by force, since there was still one more match to go and he had a chance to advance.
But before that, I need to get revenge for the last game.
The robust young man remained calm and instead sneered, "Attacking others will trigger the rules, and you won't be able to advance this round either."
Xia Tianqiong sneered, "Fool, I'm going to trigger the rules."
The robust young man frowned and remained silent as he watched the vines sweeping towards him. Just as he was about to dodge, he suddenly realized that his legs were out of control and he could not take a step.
He was immediately alarmed and quickly used his magic to defend himself.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The vines wrapped around his waist, and the sharp thorns, as long as nails, pierced his flesh, causing him to howl in pain.
That wasn't the end of it; suddenly, a ghostly force wrapped around his head.
Then, with a snap, his neck was broken.
It was the "turning head technique" of the cunning maneuver, which was used in the previous contract and will be put to good use in this one.
In the blink of an eye, one person was killed, and the other four contestants immediately retreated in panic, fearing that Xia Tianqiong would kill people indiscriminately.
Cheers erupted from the audience.
The self-harming monster picked up its knife at some point and said, "This game is about self-harm; you can only hurt yourself. You're breaking the rules!"
"I know, I did it on purpose."
Xia Tianqiong said calmly, turning around to prepare to deal with the self-harming ghost.
With a strange smile on his face, the self-harming ghost suddenly stabbed himself in the chest with a knife.
When the knife tip pierced the flesh, a wound appeared on Xia Tianqiong's chest, and blood immediately gushed out.
This is a kind of sorcery called self-harm!
By harming oneself, one can achieve the goal of harming others.
If the self-harming ghost were to stab the knife completely into its chest, it would be fine as a ghost, but Xia Tianqiong would be pierced through the heart.
Fortunately, Xia Tianqiong was prepared.
Immediately use the control technique of the triplets to restrain the self-mutilating ghost's arm and prevent it from piercing further. This trickery leaves no trace when performed, so there's no need to worry about being seen.
At the same time, he lashed out with a vine whip, binding the self-mutilating monster in circles, preventing it from harming itself.
Then the same scene repeated itself: the self-harming ghost was pulled over and trampled underfoot.
Xia Tianqiong discovered that this ferocious monster was not simple; its strength was close to that of an evil monster. Control spells and thorny vines could only control it for a few seconds before it broke free.
However, this was of no use. Xia Tianqiong stepped on it, allowing the parasitic monster to enter the other party's body through her feet.
Parasitic monsters are malevolent monsters, and controlling self-mutilating monsters is simple; you can render them immobile.
What followed was simple: another round of frantic output.
In the office, a hint of anger appeared on Liu Zhengyang's face.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that the self-harming ghost is very powerful?"
Liu Yanfang lowered her head slightly and explained, "This person may have contracted with an evil spirit, otherwise it would have been impossible to defeat the self-harming spirit so easily."
Liu Zhengyang calmed his anger slightly, picked up the tablet computer, and checked the betting situation.
The more I looked at it, the angrier I got.
More and more people are betting on Chu Xu. Although he brute forcefully subdued the strange creatures in the first two rounds without successfully breaking the rules, even more viewers believe he can advance, leading to increased betting and higher stakes.
“The total bets on his advancement have now reached over 40 million. If he advances successfully in the next round, we will have to pay out over 100 million. So no matter what, we cannot let him advance.”
Liu Zhengyang felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
The Liu family recently offered assets worth over a billion yuan as a dowry in order to form a marriage alliance with the Mo family. He personally came to the arena to try and make money by attracting audiences through the competition, so that the Liu family could recover its losses.
So he immediately set his sights on Chu Xu, raising the odds in hopes of making a quick profit.
The result could actually lead to risks, and there is a high possibility that you will lose a lot of money!
Liu Yanfang stood aside, also frowning. "In the next round, we'll arrange for someone to go on stage, trigger the rules directly, subdue the monster, and not give Chu Xu a chance to break it."
Liu Zhengyang shook his head, rejecting the suggestion. "If he finds out that someone has triggered the rules and wants to subdue the strange entity, he will definitely intervene forcefully, just like in the first game."
Our players aren't top-tier; they definitely can't beat him, so your method isn't a foolproof solution.
"What should we do then?"
For a moment, both of them had a headache.
Liu Zhengyang suddenly said, "I have a contract trick that's quite special and very difficult to break. Let it go. Also, arrange another contestant, and I'll tell him the solution. We'll have two options."
Liu Yanfang was somewhat surprised. "Second Uncle, before the strange thing goes on stage, the contract must be dissolved, otherwise if it is discovered, it will affect our reputation."
"Of course I know that."
