Chapter 183: Death (1)

This was not the time for number three to ponder. Number four probably could not hold on for long. The swarm of bugs looked extremely fierce. Once number four could not hold on, the bugs would probably fly around and attack people.
Below them, number one was also trying his best to climb up. Number three didn’t dare to delay. He used his strength to grab the grass vines and also climbed up to the top.
The bodyguards pushed Mr. Zhou up, and the earth that the people above stepped on fell down with a ‘Sha Sha Sha’ sound. Everyone’s life was in danger, and they exploded with unparalleled potential, deeply afraid that they would be left behind.
At this point, no one could care about others. They all fought to step on it. In the panic, some people were stepped on the head, but no one was willing to retreat.
Song qingxiao looked down and saw that number four was surrounded by insects. The purple light on him was getting weaker. It was only a matter of time before the insects attacked him.
However, the fact that number four was able to hold on for such a long time was already beyond her expectations.
His ability was special, and his physique should have been strengthened, which could be seen from his expression.
In this case, he had supernatural abilities and was agile. If he faced mutated creatures like the Wolf Pack, it was hard to say whether he could be tricked.
However, under the siege of the insect swarm, it would be difficult for him to use any of his techniques.
No. 4 waved his hands and feet, occasionally hitting the black flying insects with electric arcs. After the insects were slapped away, they swayed and flew back to him.
Ten seconds later, number four couldn’t hold it in any longer. He first prepared to run in the direction of the cliff where the others were climbing.
When he moved, the swarm moved with him. The person climbing the cliff became anxious.
“Give me a hand …”
“Hurry up!”
Amidst the splashing of the soil, everyone endured the fatigue in their hands and feet and climbed up with all their might. They were afraid that once number four arrived, the insects would fly around and everyone who stayed behind would be killed.
The tragic situation of those who had died to the White ants was still fresh in everyone’s mind. Seeing the dense cloud of insects, they felt goosebumps all over their bodies.
No. 4 took two steps forward, and the insects followed him. His body flashed purple. Perhaps it was because his ability was about to run out, but some insects attacked him. He let out a painful scream.
In his current state, it was obviously impossible for him to run to the cliff and lure Huo Shui away.
In a moment of desperation, number four jumped into the pond without a word!
With a splash, the water splashed in all directions. The group of black insects that had been pestering number four stopped above the pool, not daring to follow.
“He escaped?”
Number seven, who had climbed up the cliff, also saw this scene. He could not help but frown in disappointment.
“That might not be the case.” Song qingxiao’s mouth twitched. She recalled the scene she had seen before. At that time, she had been suspicious of the pool, but then a professor fell to the ground and disrupted her thoughts.
But now that he thought about it, the pond was clear, but there was no fish or shrimp in it. It was too strange.
It was very likely that there were powerful creatures in the water, and there was no room for other living creatures to survive.Either that, or the water was strange and not suitable for living things.
As soon as song qingxiao finished her words, number seven was confused. He was about to ask something when the pond suddenly changed!
After number four jumped into the pool, the water splashed, but he did not sink for long due to the impact of jumping into the river. Instead, it was as if there was an invisible ‘hand’ in the river that slowly ‘lifted’ him up.
The river seemed to come alive in an instant, which made number seven, who was on the top of the cliff, dumbfounded.
Song qingxiao had already anticipated that something was wrong in the river. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the thin layer of gauze on the river surface slowly floated toward No. 4 when he jumped in and ‘wrapped’ him in it.
By the time number four felt that something was wrong, it was already too late!
The pool was not a place that could save his life. On the contrary, it could be fatal!
His ability had almost been used up in the 10 seconds he had fought against the black insects. Now that he realized something was wrong, he struggled to swim to the shore.
However, how could the creatures in the pool be willing to give up on a prey that was already in their mouth? the ‘muslin’ gradually wrapped around his limbs and dragged him deeper into the pool.
In a moment of desperation, number four didn’t dare to be careless, and the purple light on his body flickered again.
The light muslin immediately retracted after being electrocuted, and number four took the opportunity to swim to the shore.
The splashing water covered the sound of the water, and many people on the cliff turned their heads to look.
Even Zhou xueli and the others, who were pushing Mr. Zhou forward, turned their heads and happened to see number four running for his life.
The expressions of the people on the cliff changed drastically. The dangers in the river were no less than on land, and might even be more dangerous.
The black insects on the water did not dare to get close, but before No. 4 died, these vengeful insects would not leave easily.
However, number Four’s good luck did not last until he reached the shore. With a Wolf in front and a Tiger behind, everything he did was just a last-ditch struggle.
As the purple light on number Four’s body slowly dimmed and its power decreased, the ‘thin film’ that had retreated to the side after being electrocuted earlier surrounded number four again.
This time, no matter how hard No. 4 struggled, he couldn’t escape. He was like a bug that had flown onto a spider’s web. The more he struggled, the tighter he was stuck.
He was wrapped in this thin film, and looking down from the cliff, he seemed to be wrapped in a transparent cocoon.
No. 4’s struggling became less and less until it finally stopped.
The notifications in the sea of consciousness of the remaining four trial-takers changed at the same time.
[ mutant creatures killed: bats, crocodiles, man-eating ants (mission progress 56%) ]
[ mission completed: 2000 points ]
[ sacrifice progress: 3/6 ]
[ mission completed: 2000 points ]
The moment number seven and the others received the notification, they couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
Number three stepped on number one’s shoulder and climbed to the top of the cliff with the help of number one.
Then No. 1 also climbed up, and some of the workers also climbed up. Mr. Zhou and a few scientists with boxes were also climbing up the cliff.
The moment No. 4 on the river was swallowed, the black insects scattered and flapped their wings, ready to find another target group.
Hearing this voice, Zhou xuli’s expression changed. Mr. Zhou’s physical strength was weak. No matter how rich and powerful he was, there were still some things he couldn’t compare to.
“Whoever pushes Mr. Zhou, I’ll reward them with 5 million Yuan in cash!”
She called out. As she spoke, she grabbed the grass vine with one hand and pushed Mr. Zhou up.
The swarm was already moving towards the cliff, and the people behind were pale with fear..
