Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 1298. Searching for the Netherworld Flower (13)

Lin Xi walked to the entrance of the passage and carefully observed the runes on the ground.

Sure enough, she discovered that although the four colors of runes were chaotic, they vaguely formed the shape of a flower, somewhat similar to the Ghost Marrow Flower pattern on the stone gate.

Red runes formed the flower's petals, blue runes formed the flower's sepals, green runes formed the flower's stem, and golden runes formed the flower's stamens.

"The correct order should follow the growth sequence of the Ghost Marrow Flower. First step on the green runes, the flower stem; then step on the blue runes, the calyx; then step on the red runes, the petals; and finally step on the gold runes, the stamen."

The others gathered around and looked in the direction Lin Xi pointed. Sure enough, they found that the four colors of runes formed the shape of the Ghost Marrow Flower.

Zhang Yang also came over, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before he regained his composure.

"Should we give it a try?" Zhao Kai asked, somewhat impatiently.

"Wait!" Lin Xi stopped him. "We can't just rush in. Let me throw a stone first to test if it's the right way."

She picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the green runes in the passage.

The stone landed on the green runes, which emitted a soft glow without triggering any traps.

Lin Xi picked up another stone and threw it at the blue rune. The blue rune emitted a soft light and, like before, did not trigger the trap.

Next came the red runes and the gold runes, neither of which triggered a trap.

"It seems my judgment was correct!" Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. "We can go in now. Everyone follow behind me and step on the runes I've stepped on. Be careful not to step on the wrong ones."

Lin Xi stepped into the passage first, carefully stepping on the green runes. The green runes emitted a soft light, illuminating her feet.

She walked forward step by step, each step taken with utmost care. The others followed behind her, with Wang Xiaoyue supporting Su Qing in the middle, and Zhao Kai and Wu Qingquan walking behind.

Zhang Yang deliberately slowed down and walked at the very back.

After walking about a dozen steps, everyone successfully stepped over the green runes and arrived at the blue rune area.

The blue runes emitted a faint blue light, and the temperature inside the passage dropped significantly instantly, but no traps were triggered.

The group continued forward, successfully stepping over the blue runes and arriving at the red rune area.

The red runes emitted a dazzling red light, and the air inside the passage began to heat up, as if a flame was burning inside.

But the trap was not triggered, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there was hope of solving the mystery.

—It still has to be 123.
—That's when 123 has ever let everyone down.

—It would be great to have a partner like 123 in life.

—I wish I could, but unfortunately I didn't.

—I wish I could, but it really didn't happen.

Just as everyone was about to step over the red runes and enter the golden rune area, Zhang Yang suddenly slipped and accidentally bumped into Wu Qingquan in front of him.

Wu Qingquan staggered, his foot slipped, and he stepped on a rune next to him.

The rune looked red, but it wasn't quite the same as other red runes.

The moment Wu Qingquan stepped on the rune, it suddenly emitted a strange dark red light.

The runes in the passage suddenly became violent, with red, blue, green, and gold runes colliding with each other and making a "sizzling" sound, as countless streams of runic energy shot towards the group.

"Get out of the way!"

Lin Xi immediately pulled Chen Luoxue beside her and hid behind a stone wall on one side of the passage. Wang Xiaoyue also reacted quickly, helping Su Qing to hide on the other side.

Zhao Kai raised his trekking pole to block a burst of runic energy aimed at him. The trekking pole was struck by the energy and snapped in two with a crisp "crack".

Wu Qingquan was struck by the rune energy, his body flew backward and crashed heavily into the stone wall, spitting out blood and losing consciousness.

Zhang Yang took advantage of the chaos to hide in a corner, using his backpack to shield himself from the rune energy.

He peeked out and saw Wu Qingquan lying unconscious on the ground, and frowned slightly.

"Wu Qingquan!"

Zhao Kai shouted, trying to rush over to save him, but was blocked by countless rune energies and could not get close at all.

"Don't go over there, it's too dangerous!" Lin Xi said in a deep voice. "The runic energy is too violent right now; we can't get close to it at all. We can only wait for the energy to calm down!"

Zhao Kai gritted his teeth, looking at Wu Qingquan who was lying unconscious on the ground, his eyes filled with anxiety, but he also knew that Lin Xi was right and could only temporarily give up the idea of ​​rescuing him.

—Damn, Zhang Yang did this on purpose!
--have no idea.

—It doesn't seem like it; he has no reason to deliberately harm people.

——Who knows!
—Zhang Yang has always been a bit odd.

—I suddenly miss Teacher Huang. If she were here, I could sense that she was a dangerous person.

Lin Xi stared intently at the raging runes within the passage, his mind racing.

She discovered that although the rune energy was very violent, it still followed certain patterns.

The red runes appear to be the most aggressive, the blue runes have a freezing effect, the green runes seem to be poisonous, and the gold runes have the purest energy and are not aggressive.

"Miss Suqing, can the golden rune energy neutralize the other three types of rune energy?" Lin Xi asked.

Su Qing was supported by Wang Xiaoyue. Although she was also very scared, she remained conscious.

"That's right! Golden rune energy is the purest and can neutralize rune energy of any other attribute!"

"That's great!" Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiaoyue, help Suqing hide! Zhao Kai, cover me! I'm going to trigger the golden rune energy to neutralize this violent energy!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Kai nodded, took out a spare dagger from his backpack, and warily watched the surrounding runic energy, ready to cover Lin Xi at any time.

Lin Xi took a deep breath and, taking advantage of the gap in the rune energy attack, suddenly rushed out.

She moved with incredible speed, like a nimble cheetah weaving through the raging runic energy.

Zhang Yang, who was hiding in the corner, saw Lin Xi rush out and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Lin Xi dodged wave after wave of runic energy and finally arrived at the golden runic area.

Without hesitation, she stepped onto the golden runes, which emitted a dazzling golden light that instantly spread out and enveloped the entire passage.

The violent red, blue, and green rune energies became docile upon encountering the golden light and gradually dissipated into the air.

The runes within the passage returned to calm, leaving only the golden runes emitting a soft glow.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at herself again.

She was a little tired from traveling too fast just now. In addition, her clothes were torn in several places by the rune energy, and her arms were also cut and bleeding.
