Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 1313. Echoes from the Abyss (3)

Lin Xi immediately read the comments aloud to everyone, and Guo Yuelang frowned.

"The cross-section of the amethyst pillar... If we really need to embed it, we need to find the one with the strongest energy first, and then we need to find a way to remove it without triggering the mechanism."

Zhao Chen took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped.

"There's light ahead; that should be the location of the stone gate."

The group quickened their pace and, sure enough, saw a huge stone gate standing at the end of the passage. The stone gate was made of black rock and carved with ferocious beast head patterns.

The eyes of the beast's head were empty, emitting a faint green light.

Above the stone gate, as the audience pointed out, there is a diamond-shaped recess, just the right size to hold a crystal pillar.

On either side of the stone gate, there is a row of upright amethyst pillars, with their tips pointing upwards.

“These amethyst pillars seem to possess a kind of energy, and a very strong one at that, but the one in the middle fluctuates the most intensely.” Ouyang Yu pointed to an amethyst pillar located in the middle of the left side of the stone gate. “That should be it.”

Zhao Chen tried to touch the amethyst pillar using telekinesis. As soon as he made contact, the entire row of amethyst pillars suddenly lit up with purple light at the same time. The sound of shattering came from the top of the passage again, and more amethyst pierced towards everyone.

"Oh no, we've triggered a mechanism!" Lin Xi exclaimed, immediately using her skill.

—Oh, the Peach Blossom Spring.

—It's Dream Garden, okay!

—This Dream Garden is just a simple safe place; going outside still means facing danger.

—It seems like we can be a little further away.

“If we hold hands and the situation remains the same when we get out, we can teleport,” Guo Yuelang said.

Everyone quickly lined up in a row.

As soon as it appeared, it saw the amethyst piercing towards it.

They appeared in a position that was still quite close to the amethyst pillar.

Guo Yuelang immediately used teleportation, and everyone retreated to a safe area.

"We can't force it." Lin Xi looked at the comments in the live stream. Someone posted a screenshot from the perspective of a previous challenger. The screenshot showed that the bottom of the amethyst pillar was connected to an energy source in the rock wall. "These amethyst pillars are powered by an energy source. As long as we cut off the energy source, we should be able to remove them safely."

Ouyang Yu observed the rock wall and discovered a small hole on the rock wall at the base of the amethyst pillar, from which a faint light of energy flowed.

"I come."

He took out a slender silver dagger and threw it towards the cave entrance. The dagger pierced the entrance precisely, and the light of the flowing energy was extinguished instantly. The amethyst pillar in the middle also lost its luster and became dim.

"It worked?" Xin asked in surprise. "What is that? A prop?"

“Yes, props,” Ouyang Yu said in a low voice.

—I knew it, Ouyang must know Meng Ye.

—It's so gentle, it's almost dripping with moisture.

—Now it's time to enjoy this with my family.

—One is a spark, the other is the morning, the timing is wrong!

Zhao Chen used telekinesis again and successfully removed the amethyst pillar this time.

The amethyst pillar felt cool to the touch, and its rhomboid cross-section perfectly matched the groove above the stone door.

"What do we do now? Should we just embed it?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Wait!" Wang Yiyi suddenly spoke up. "I think I just saw something moving in the eyes of the beast head; there might be a trap."

Everyone looked at the eyes of the beast head and indeed saw two green dots of light moving slowly, like the eyes of some kind of creature.

“It’s a poisonous wasp!” Guo Yuelang said.

He had barely finished speaking when the beast's eyes suddenly opened, and countless green poisonous bees swarmed out, attacking the group. "We have to use fire!" Wang Yi said, summoning a card. "Fire."

The flames spread instantly, burning many of the poisonous bees to death, but even more bees poured out of the eyes, endlessly.

"This can't go on!" Feng Xi brandished her short sword, slashing at the approaching poisonous bees. "Zhao Chen, hurry up and embed the amethyst pillar; maybe the bees will disappear after that!"

“I’ll teleport you there,” Guo Yuelang said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

The two of them braved the attacks of the poisonous bees and flew towards the stone gate.

Just as Zhao Chen was about to embed the amethyst pillar into the groove, a violent tremor suddenly came from the depths of the passage, and the roar of the giant creature he had heard earlier rang out again, and it was getting closer and closer.

"The Boss is coming!"

A huge black shadow was rapidly approaching. The shadow was three meters tall, covered with a hard carapace, with sharp claws on its limbs and a pair of huge tentacles on its head.

Zhao Chen gritted his teeth, ignoring the approaching Boss, and forcefully embedded the amethyst pillar into the groove.

With a "click," the amethyst pillar fit perfectly.

Suddenly, a purple light shone above the stone gate, flowing down along the patterns on the beast head. The swarm of poisonous bees seemed to be intimidated and stopped attacking.

The approaching Boss suddenly stopped moving the moment the purple light flashed, let out a painful roar, and its body began to convulse violently.

"Everyone, take this opportunity to attack the Boss! It's currently in a weakened state!"

Ouyang Yu rushed forward first, his silver dagger piercing the gap in the Boss's carapace. The moment the dagger pierced through, the Boss let out a shrill roar, and green blood gushed from the wound.

Zhao Chen also launched an attack, grabbing a stone from the ground and smashing it towards the Boss's head. The stone struck the shell with a dull thud.

Wang Yiyi then conjured an even larger fireball and hurled it towards the Boss's eye. The fireball struck precisely, and the Boss's eye instantly burst into flames. It frantically swung its claws, causing the stones at the top of the passage to fall again.

"Watch out for falling rocks!" Lin Xi warned, while simultaneously illuminating the Boss's weak point.

Feng Xi then circled around behind the Boss, looking for an opportunity to attack.

Lin Bei took a slowdown card out of his backpack and threw it at the Boss.

The slowdown card took effect, making the Boss's movements even slower, and the group's attacks became more frequent.

Bai Yueming took out a binding card and, together with the others, controlled the Boss.

The viewers in the live stream were thrilled:

That was so exciting! The teamwork was amazing!

—I noticed that Xiaoqin and the vegetables have quite a lot of props.

—It's alright, but it seems there aren't as many as 123.

—Ouyang Yu is so handsome, he wields the dagger so skillfully!

—Wang Yiyi's fireball is incredibly powerful!
Under the combined attack of everyone, the Boss's movements became slower and slower, and he suffered more and more wounds, with green blood flowing all over the ground.

Finally, Ouyang Yu seized the opportunity and plunged the silver dagger into the Boss's head.

The Boss let out a final roar, its massive body crashing to the ground and dissipating into a wisp of black smoke.

At the same time, the stone gate slowly opened.

A blinding light burst in from behind the door, and everyone instinctively squinted.

Lin Xi raised her hand to shield her eyes from the light and could vaguely see smooth white jade slabs paved in the space. But before she could see the whole picture, a pungent, fishy-sweet smell suddenly wafted towards her.

Immediately afterwards, fog began to fill the passageway.

"Something's wrong!" Huang Jingjing suddenly covered her mouth and nose. "This isn't ordinary fog!"
