Chapter 96 The Weight of Promise

At the top of the Egyptian pyramids, Flando stared at the height of Xia Shou Lighthouse updated in real time on the Dream Network, her heart in her throat.

The scorching sun was hanging overhead, but she felt her hands and feet were cold. The height from which Xia Shou had just fallen so sharply almost scared her to death.

She put all her fortune on this bet. If she lost it all, she would be completely bankrupt.

But looking at Xia Shou's current momentum in climbing the tower, it seems that he will not fail in the short term. He has now reached the 80 meters he had been to before, and his speed is even faster than before, which is simply amazing!
"Come on, come on, reach 150 meters!" Flando clenched her fists and prayed. The excitement of gambling controlled her brain, and now all she could see were those numbers.

At the same time, the live broadcast room on Meng.com was in an uproar. Some gamblers who were destined to lose kept sending barrages of comments, cursing and complaining. Those who supported the bottom card and those who looked down on the bottom card were divided into two camps and fired at each other online.

[Wasteland Cowboy: This is amazing, it's already 80 meters, it looks like it's definitely possible to break through meters, is there any inside information? The official information is that the effect of the Fear Lighthouse has nothing to do with the level of anomaly, it depends purely on personal talent. According to probability, there is no reason why the trump card is so powerful.]

[Anonymous 13624: Are you saying that DreamNet wants to cheat you out of your money? How much money do you make? Brother Trump is so awesome! Do you understand the value of breaking a closed domain by yourself? ]

[The top card of the trump card: Is the title of the survivor of the Blood Demon House just for show? I knew from the beginning that the trump card brother was not simple, and he would definitely break 100! ]

[Anonymous 55541: I think what we need to discuss now is how high the boss can reach after breaking through meters, rather than discussing the value of the trump card here. I think based on the current few results, the value of the trump card is beyond doubt.]

【Cute little cutie: By the way... no one cares about the "cold-blooded Gao Jin" who bet 0 million on meters? I think that rich guy is very interesting. He even bet in the last few seconds. 】

[Summer Hunting: Haha, I admire that guy. I would like to call it the coolest performance art in DreamNet this year.]

[The top card of the bottom card: That guy almost made me die of laughter. I guess he wanted to bet 1 meters at the end, but his hand shook and he missed a 0. In the end, he bet on two zeros, so he bet on meters. I guess he is crying now. ]

The live broadcast room was bustling with activity. While everyone was discussing, Xia Shou's climbing height in the tower was still rising.

In just a few minutes, the wildly growing number reached the threshold of 99 meters!

……

……

Inside the Lighthouse of Fear, Xia Shou continued to move forward.

It’s a lie to say that you’re not afraid. No one is not afraid of death.

Now that he has no time to commit suicide, he actually has only one life left.

The reason why he kept moving forward was because of what the mysterious voice had just said to him.

He promised Su Weiyu that he would try his best to save her family.

At that time, he had no intention of lying or being perfunctory, but he really thought so because he and Su Weiyu were friends for life.

In the Blood Demon's House, if Su Weiyu had not led him to find the corpses immediately during the first exploration, and if she had not risked her life to lure the Blood Demon away when he was devouring the corpses, he would definitely not have won.

What was Su Weiyu's mood when she went to lure away the blood demon?

She should have thought: "Since the compass can lead me to the first person who can see me, then I will definitely be able to find the second person next time. I should try my best to survive this time, and then wait for the compass to give the second guidance."

But in the end, she chose to use her life to help him lure away the blood demon, and even after being cut in half, she still threw the compass to him, allowing him to escape.

So, Xia Shou also planned to do so.

He never thought of himself as a noble person. Although he had a conscience and could distinguish right from wrong, he would only do what he thought was right within his ability. He would not take too many risks, so he could not be the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others.

But he would never let others down. If he became the kind of person who had to watch others get hurt and bleed for him while he himself stood in a safe cage waiting to die, then he would rather die!
He despised that kind of coward.

He was serious about his promise to Su Weiyu, but he was not sure whether he was deceiving himself.

Just like what the mysterious voice said just now, if he used the excuse of "looking for a more appropriate opportunity" every time he had to risk his life, then his promise to her would mean nothing.

Su Weiyu has already made a choice: to risk her life for the opportunity that has already appeared before her, or to give up the risk and wait quietly for the next opportunity that may come at an unknown time.

"Oh, the same."

Xia Shou, under the huge pressure from above, slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Now it's my turn to choose."

Xia Shou gritted his teeth and stepped onto the next step.

At this moment, the tower climbing height exceeds 120 meters!
……

……

Outside the Lighthouse of Fear, a gloomy cloud floated in from the sea. Edson and other staff members stared at the rapidly rising numbers on the altimeter, feeling an indescribable emotion in their hearts.

Climbers who can climb towers over 100 meters are extremely rare and must be kept in secret files, and those who can climb over 120 meters are even rarer.

As long as the height exceeds 50 meters, climbers will gain an aura of fear. This emotional deterrence, similar to murderous intent and oppression, can force ordinary people to retreat with just the look in their eyes.

Although using eyes to force mortals back is not a very powerful skill, for a level 5 finisher, this skill can be called a magical skill!

Because once the finisher reaches level five, he can no longer use his superpowers easily, and entering a full combat state requires a huge price to pay.

Therefore, the additional skills granted by this strange phenomenon that will not cause the leakage of cursed energy are very practical skills for them.

And the changes that the Fear Lighthouse brings to the climbers do not stop there. When the climber's height exceeds 100 meters, the power of the fear halo will be further enhanced, and ferocious beasts like tigers can be forced back with just the eyes.

But even so, this is still not the limit. When it reaches above 150 meters, new changes will occur to the climbers.

Only ministerial-level personnel like Edson have the authority to know what the higher-level capacity changes of the Fear Lighthouse are.

When you reach a height of 150 meters, you will gain the ability of [Sense Malice]. Unless the enemy has received professional training in concealing his breath, any leakage of malice will be sensed by the person involved.

And now, Xia Shou's height has reached 130 meters.

It is hard to believe that this is the height that can be achieved by relying on "luck", and there is one more thing that worries Ederson even more.

That is, until now, there has been no other movement in the communicator except Xia Shou's rhythmic footsteps and breathing, and Xia Shou has not given them any feedback.

This means that he still hasn't found the ritual utensils left behind by the life artist Yi Lei in the lighthouse.

Could it be that the height of that person was also over 130 meters?
This is really amazing!
