As the two were talking, the flesh and blood below rapidly froze.
The thick layer of ice froze the flesh and blood tissue. Jiang Yinxue was the first to land and stand on the ice platform.
After him, Jiang landed at one o'clock. Shi Jinzhe saw her insert an incense stick into the ground, and the flesh and blood on the one-meter square foot of her foot stabilized.
Then Fu Guan inserted an incense stick identical to Jiang Yan's and stood firmly at the two o'clock position.
The remaining six people landed clockwise. At the four o'clock and five o'clock positions were Linlang and Shangying, who were in the same area as Fu Guan. Fu Guan casually threw two incense sticks under their feet.
Zhuang Zexian occupied the six o'clock spot and also took out an incense stick.
When the seventh person arrived, a conflict arose.
The young man in the black hoodie refused to get off the paper airplane. He hoped that Zhuang Zexian or Fu Guanzai would give him a calming incense stick to stabilize his flesh and blood.
“300 points, pay for it yourself.” Zhuang Zexian refused directly.
"300 points for 10 minutes, and only a one-square-meter safe area... that's such a rip-off."
Seeing that Zhuang Zexian disagreed, he turned his hopeful gaze to Fu Guanzai.
He's already used them for those two people, so one more won't hurt, right?
“My surname is Fu, not Yuan.”
The 600 points were his investment in Linlang and Shangying. This person wasn't even a player from the same server as him, so he couldn't do anything for him in real life. What kind of philanthropist was he?
Undeterred by the rejection, the man in the black hoodie turned his attention to Jiang Yi, who seemed the most approachable.
Who knew that Jiang was even more direct than Fu Guan in his speech.
"Don't look at me like that. We can get by without you. You're not a crucial factor. One minute, take it or leave it."
Seeing that the three people were wasting time by making excuses, a gunshot rang out, interrupting the argument.
Shi Jinzhe fired a shot, and the black-clad man was hit right between the eyebrows, falling headfirst off the paper airplane.
He grasped the completely blackened crystal and pointed at the other two people, "Choose one: life or death."
The crystal was re-contaminated too quickly, and the blackness was too intense, giving him a bad feeling. He just wanted this group of people to hurry up.
The remaining two swallowed hard, obediently cleared their points, bought the Soul-Soothing Incense, and landed at 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock respectively, taking the crystals they had placed in advance to prepare for the replay.
Zhuang Zexian disagreed: "Wasn't he too impulsive? There were already so few people, and he still..."
Mind your own business.
Shi Jinzhe fired a shot, but fortunately Zhuang Zexian's special skills prevented his body from being blown apart by the bullet.
Zhuang Zexian realized that this person really didn't care about the number of people; wasn't he afraid that he wouldn't be able to pass the level?
Where exactly does Shi Jinzhe get the confidence to do this?
Shi Jinzhe didn't have time to answer him and activated his skill immediately upon landing.
The complex protective array suddenly expanded, and the rotating golden lines quickly filled the entire circular plaza, enhancing everyone's defense.
In addition to the overall defense, he formed a second purification array targeting the black crystal.
Within the nested, intricate pattern, a third golden ring formed beneath Sheh's feet as she moved.
The three golden rings nested one inside the other, casting a soft golden glow over the sky.
In the golden light, all nine people were in position. Frost spread, and Jiang Yinxue increased the thickness of the ice layer once again.
The ice layer that the flesh and blood broke through as it writhed was reinforced three times. Centered on the black tower, he frosted everything within a three-kilometer radius.
A chilling wind blew, and three rotating, glowing tarot cards appeared at the nine, ten, and eleven o'clock positions.
The Emperor card, wearing a crown and holding a scepter, materializes and emerges from a tall card face resembling ripples on water, followed by the Empress and the Magician.
When holding the three cards, one should fold them all and use the three crystals contributed by Fu Guan, ready to be placed simultaneously at any time.
Thirteen positions were successfully filled. Jiang raised his head, and in his clear black and white pupils, the white faded, leaving only black.
"Eight Ghosts' Eyes, Ten Directions' Perspective."
Apart from Jiang Yinxue and herself, the temperature behind the other seven people dropped another degree.
A faint chill covered the left hands of the other seven people. In the biting cold snow, everyone lost control of their left hands, which were all taken over by Jiang.
Zhuang Zexian was shivering from the cold, and finally understood what she meant when she said he could trust her with his back.
It's like there really is a ghost blowing cold air into his clothes!
Jiang wasted no time and immediately began placing the crystals after taking control.
The three cards that were not under her control were controlled by Fu Guan in a synchronized manner, and thirteen "people" raised their left hands at the same time.
However, a shrill scream suddenly came from the eight o'clock position!
The woman wearing a green scarf has her body split in two, one half lying down and the other half standing, the cross-section of her body clearly visible to everyone.
Her left side slumped down stiffly, while her right hand made a gesture of holding the crystal, as if waiting to take it away immediately after it was placed.
In an instant, the number of people dropped from thirteen to twelve, and Fu Guan immediately replaced them with the fourth tarot card.
Jiang was unaffected and continued moving, but the next second, the man at the seven o'clock position also let out a scream and died instantly.
His eyes were fixed on the crystal, and only his eyeballs remained; the rest of his body had turned into blood.
The fifth tarot card, The Hermit, quickly filled the gap, and Fu Guan's expression subtly changed as he realized the key point.
Greed leads to death. Protective formations can defend against external forces, but not against inner greed. These two people were too eager for the crystal; they were definitely thinking about how to steal it just now.
"Don't even think about how to get this crystal!"
Having more than five character cards materialized would greatly increase his burden; if another one dies, he won't be able to synchronize and control six cards.
However, good fortune did not come. The violent tremors, like huge waves crashing across the river, made it difficult to stand, and the ice beneath Jiang Yi's feet was the first to be deliberately broken.
She took a step back and saw Chen Shu's wicked smile reflected in the icicles.
"I didn't know there was such a skill."
After staring at it for half a day, I realized there was a key figure involved.
Foul-smelling flesh spread out from beneath him, and hundreds of blood-red tentacles behind Shen Shu lunged at Jiang Yan at the same time.
Jiang Yinxue's sword flew from another direction, and with a clang, it failed to pierce Shen Shu's body.
Jiang Yinxue immediately adjusted her strategy, and with the delaying effect of the freezing, Jiang Ling barely managed to dodge those tentacles.
"Thank you for your great teammates. Every time my body is attacked, it becomes stronger. Now I am invincible."
These words made Zhuang Zexian, who was about to fire the cannon, and Fu Guan, who had just drawn his sword, pause in their actions.
Zhuang Zexian yelled, "Get stronger every time you fight?!"
Shen Shu snapped his fingers: "Congratulations, you're right...!"
Before he could finish speaking, a hand suddenly pressed down on the back of Shen Shu's head and shoved it into the ground.
Shekh dragged him forward, pressing his head down, cracking the ice all the way.
Once they were far away from Jiang, she brought up Shen Shu: "Come fight me."
Purple mist materialized, and a giant snake tail swept across a cluster of frozen buildings, sending debris flying and shaking the ground. Shen Shu was slammed into a building, crashing through ten floors before falling to the ground like a dead dog.
He raised his head and glared at the giant snake coiled above him. Provoked in this way, the monster inside Shen Shu's body detached from his human skin in the blink of an eye.
