Chapter 1634 - 523: Arrival at Balance City

Chapter 1634: Chapter 523: Arrival at Balance City

The imminent entry into the Land of Libra, the audience was naturally resistant.

They deeply disliked this group of "outsiders," because whenever an outsider entered, a local was eliminated.

Especially since these outsiders dared to collude to increase the difficulty of guessing.

However, at present, they were somewhat intimidated.

Because they didn’t understand what kind of superpower could keep the monsters from approaching. They certainly saw Liu Jianxin’s gesture of half-pushing the sword.

But now, no one could be certain if Liu Jianxin’s ability was a cover for others. After all...

Liu Jianxin had exhibited quite a few abilities, like Sword Control and altering the weight of objects.

The audience’s attention quickly shifted again.

The captain of the second team approached the tunnels breached by the insects, his hands already concealed in the soil.

At that moment, everyone’s hands were touching the ground.

However, everyone’s gaze was attracted by the second team captain once again.

Soon, spikes appeared on the ground.

At this moment, almost everyone guessed that the second team captain’s superpower activated the ground spikes. In fact, this spiking ability belonged to Lei Gang from team one.

Lei Gang was pleased because his ability could be easily activated three times, meeting the final requirement to enter the sanctuary.

Moreover, neither the audience nor anyone else knew his ability, only Wen Xishu knew. Wen Xishu must not be provoked, but there was no need to worry since this person could be considered a saint.

Next, it was purely time to earn points.

Should he act now?

Lei Gang ultimately chose not to act now because... Wen Xishu hadn’t uttered the command.

Lei Gang wasn’t naturally obedient, but he had to admit that Liu Jianxin and Wen Xishu demonstrated formidable deterrence.

Those terrifying insects recoiled instinctively in their presence.

What level of prowess did these two possess?

After thinking it over, Lei Gang decided to wait for the right moment—for when Wen Xishu clearly said the command "free action"—before he eliminated the second team captain.

Similar words had been said by Wen Xishu to the other three men on team one.

"But before I clearly say the words ’free activity,’ no guessing is allowed, or don’t blame me for being unkind. After all, I still have to ensure other brothers reach the Land of Libra."

Each member of team one would wait for the specific command "free action" in the meantime.

Wen Xishu deliberately waited a while before giving this command.

This, in fact, was also a test by Wen Xishu for the "second team."

Wen Xishu knew clearly that he and Liu Jianxin possessed powerful deterrence, using this deterrence layer they certainly wouldn’t dare to take risks.

After all, the closer one is to success, the more fearful one becomes of failure.

So team one’s members dared not eliminate team two before the "free action" command appeared.

But team two members were unaware of this.

If team two members proactively used the information provided by themselves to guess team one’s abilities without team one attempting guesses at them first, then deceitfully claiming team one guessed their abilities first—

Wen Xishu wouldn’t mind eliminating team two members as well.

He was confident he could do this, after all, activating abilities needs to be "spoken out."

Deng Feng had already received his hint to not activate the "Silent Victory" ability on others.

So, if others wanted to eliminate someone, they had to speak out.

As long as team two attempted to speak the ability of a team one member before the "free command" was issued, Wen Xishu would instantly stop them.

Because before the command is given, team two cannot possibly be guessed by team one.

Although team two hadn’t offended him, not following his rules and going against the ideology of unity, such individuals could not stay.

Clearly, Jiang Ming endured the test.

Countless people were guessing his ability was activating ground spikes; after being guessed wrong, they guessed he had other similar abilities.

But no one could imagine his ability was bone generation.

At this moment, Jiang Ming also thought whether he should falsely accuse Lei Gang, since he always felt Lei Gang’s gaze was odd, looking at him like prey.

Especially when earlier Lei Gang nearly asked the question as the seven-person team from team two was sinking into the swamp.

But he ultimately chose not to do it.

"Forget it, it’s hard for everyone, besides boss Wen advised, I can dislike Lei Gang, but I must listen to boss Wen."

Thinking this way, Jiang Ming restrained himself and decided to listen to boss Wen, succeed together, help each other, and reach the sanctuary.

Wen Xishu felt it was fine; up until now, team two hadn’t "mounted an attack."

Next, he started helping the others do the same.

All with visually effective abilities began using their skills under Wen Xishu’s arrangement, safely and without risk.

Except for Liu Jianxin.

Wen Xishu certainly hadn’t forgotten Liu Jianxin, but that was the grand finale, the time to open the curtain hadn’t arrived yet.

After confirming team two was generally obedient and friendly, Wen Xishu began issuing commands.

He specifically instructed the chubby Wu Xiaorong, young Chen Youwei, and hoarse-voiced Deng Feng with "free action" commands.

These individuals ultimately resisted the temptation.

Wen Xishu wasn’t one for playing tricks either.
