Free Web NovelThe remaining few candidate successors were all numb.
After Yue Ling Bona controlled her second pet to become a meat bomb, there were only 7 people left on the massive altar, and that included the madwoman Yue Ling Bona.
The number of people sharply decreased.
And the faces of the six survivors were as ugly as if they had been repeatedly rubbed on the ground.
Not just Yue Ling Qianchen, at this moment, everyone realized Yue Ling Bona's intention.
Even if they were all mentally prepared to die in the competition.
But it's better to live a wretched life than to die well; who would rush to seek death if they could live?
Yue Ling Bona's actions were undoubtedly pronouncing a death sentence on all of them!
"Yue Ling Bona, what exactly do you want to do?"
Someone questioned her with a pale face.
But Yue Ling Bona closed her eyes and had no intention of answering.
Although her behavior was insane, ever since her first pet self-destructed and she jumped around like a lunatic, she hadn't said another word.
A chilling aura of death spread out from her.
Seeing no response from Yue Ling Bona, that person looked at the others, "Are we just going to watch her go crazy? We have to find a way to ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ save ourselves!"
Yue Ling Qianchen sat leaning in his Thousand Soul Banner Coffin, the white banners around him fluttering like ghosts.
"How to save ourselves?
Before activating the main sacrificial position, leaving our sacrificial positions means death.
Even if someone among us is willing to sacrifice themselves, if we can't break Yue Ling Bona's shield, we also can't stop her.
Look at the strength of her shield; it's clear she's not the only one acting crazy!
Or are any of you confident enough to immediately break her shield after going out?
I certainly can't."
Candidate successors at the sacrificial positions and their pets could only attack the surging monsters but could not attack other candidates.
Unless they left their sacrificial positions.
But leaving the sacrificial position would mean losing the protection of the shield, not only having to face all the monsters directly but also potentially becoming targets for other candidates.
Who would take such a foolish risk?
Yue Ling Qianchen's words made the already heavy hearts of the others feel as if another giant mountain had been placed upon them, making it difficult for them to breathe.
They looked at Yue Ling Bona's shield; just as Yue Ling Qianchen said, behind her confidence to act crazy, there must be countless madmen who forgot to take their medicine.
"How can her shield have so much energy?"
Everyone couldn't understand. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Even if Yue Ling Bona's support offerings were all madmen, what did that have to do with the speed of resource collection?
Could it be that madmen have better luck than normal people?
Unless this world has gone crazy too!
Yue Ling Suiwan spoke faintly, "Yue Ling Bona can continuously make her pets self-destruct without her brain collapsing, which proves she must have an item that temporarily stabilizes her brain.
This shows she had made thorough preparations long ago.
Do you think she or the people behind her wouldn't have a way to quickly get large amounts of resources for her support offerings?"
She paused, her heroic brows furrowed into a cross, "I even suspect that she might have brought in more than ten support offerings, or that the support offerings of our other candidates were already bought out by her and turned into a hornet's nest."
Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.
It wasn't that they thought Yue Ling Suiwan's analysis was problematic, but if the truth was really like that, then their Yue Ling Clan's successor competition was a hunt by someone with intentions from the very beginning.
A shocking conspiracy.
But what was the purpose of them doing this? It couldn't just be to kill these candidate successors, could it?
It wasn't that they looked down on themselves, but they truly weren't valuable enough for someone to go to such great lengths.
"Who do you think is behind Yue Ling Bona? What exactly is the purpose of their actions?" freewēbnoveℓ.com
Yue Ling Qianchen and Yue Ling Suiwan exchanged a silent glance across the air; no one spoke.
"It's unclear who planned this conspiracy, but the purpose? It's nothing more than two possibilities: either it's targeting our Yue Ling Clan, or it's to seize this Mystic Ground."
Yue Ling Misheng could no longer play the delicate role; his expression was serious and cold, and his voice was bone-chillingly frigid, truly a ruthless and cool guy.
His persona shift was incredibly swift.
Suddenly, his thin lips curved into a faint smile, and his eyes gleamed sharply.
"Actually, I think Yue Ling Bona's plan will fail."
At these words, everyone looked at him.
Including Yue Ling Bona, who had been closing her eyes pretending to be profound; her bloodshot, gloomy, and dark eyes seemed to have been filled with tons of formaldehyde, revealing a chilling and rigid aura of death.
Yue Ling Misheng showed no hint of panic at becoming the center of attention; he looked calmly at Yue Ling Bona and said unhurriedly:
"If I'm not mistaken, your task is to trigger an unknown rule of this altar, right?"
At this moment, everyone was staring at Yue Ling Bona, so they naturally noticed the fleeting hint of guilt in her eyes.
Undoubtedly, Yue Ling Misheng had guessed correctly.
He continued, "And to trigger that rule, not only do you need to find a way to destroy the main sacrificial position, but you also need the blood or souls of us who occupy the twelve sacrificial positions as sacrifices, right?"
Yue Ling Bona's brows twitched uncontrollably.
Clearly, Yue Ling Misheng had guessed correctly again.
"So you keep making pets self-destruct at the main sacrificial position, wanting to destroy the main sacrificial position while continuously weakening our shields, so that all of us die in the mouths of monsters.
Am I right?"
Yue Ling Bona's pathologically pale face, which had been feigning calmness, suddenly twisted into a sinister and exaggerated smile, her madman progress bar instantly maxed out.
"So what if you're right? What can you do to me!
Hahahahaha...
I told you, I don't want to live anymore, so all of you must die with me!"
"Heh heh."
Yue Ling Misheng scoffed at her with disdain, lowering his eyelids to conceal the cold and intense calculation in his eyes.
He then slowly said:
"You might not have noticed, but your shield energy isn't the most among us."
Yue Ling Bona suddenly widened her eyes, her gaze quickly sweeping over the remaining six people.
Finally, it settled on the due east position.
"This is impossible!"
She was like a mad dog that had been greatly stimulated, her dog eyes widening viciously.
"Yue Ling Suiwan! How can your shield be so bright?! This is absolutely impossible!"
The due east sacrificial position, wasn't that Yue Ling Suiwan's position?
And the shield enveloping her was indeed as bright as a lamp; even in the bright midday sun, it emitted a dazzling light that made people unable to open their eyes.
However, it was precisely because it was currently midday that the others had not noticed the unusual brightness of Yue Ling Suiwan's shield.
If this were at night, it would definitely be the brightest star in the night sky!
"It's true, Miss Suì Wǎn's defensive energy shield is indeed the brightest among all of us."
