Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

After eating, these people finally regained a lot of strength.

The middle-aged man said, "Every three days, that minotaur appears and forces us to participate in a death game; the loser dies."

"It will take away the dead person, and then every other day there will be a food game, and the winner gets to eat the food."

"Will the minotaurs give you food? There's hardly any food here."

Liu Shiyun said.

"If I'm not mistaken, the so-called food is the flesh of the person who died in the death game, right?" Lin Yu chimed in.

Everyone fell silent.

It was obvious that they knew what the so-called food was, but they had no choice; they didn't want to die.

They can only eat human flesh!

"The monster said that if we could survive for thirty days, we would be freed."

Is this pig farming?

Lin Yu thought of a dark creature.

They can absorb the purest despair and grow by devouring the aura of despair.

At this moment, Lin Yu understood completely.

They have encountered dark creatures that feed on despair.

The dark creatures trapped these people here, forcing them to participate in games every day to release their inner despair.

At the same time, it gives them hope of getting out, thus repeatedly breeding a sense of despair.

"If this creature were a mutated beast, it would probably have already entered the city, where it could have obtained even more despair power."

"But the fact that it's currently guarding the tunnel means it can't leave; it's a dark creature mutated from a plant!"

In just a moment, Lin Yu basically understood everything.

He shared these thoughts.

"How do you explain the different flow rates of time?" Liu Shiyun asked.

"It's very simple. These people are locked up here, isolated from the outside world, and living in fear. Naturally, they will believe whatever the minotaurs say."

Lin Yu spoke up.

"Now that you mention it, I do remember."

A refined-looking man suddenly spoke up.

"Do you remember, every time a new person came in, that minotaur would say there would be a game every day, but he would never explain the rules of the game?"

"That's right, so subconsciously we think that there's one game a day, and each time we participate in a game, that's how a day goes by."

Everyone realized what was happening.

There is no day or night here, and everyone's mind is always on edge. Even if they play the game three times a day, they cannot tell the passage of time.

"So what do we do now?"

A group of people seemed to see Lin Yu as their lifeline.

"The illusion created by such condensed emotions can only be dispelled by finding and killing the caster," Lin Yu said.

This kind of illusion is quite troublesome; it can usually only be broken by killing the caster.

Or perhaps their strength far surpasses that of the caster, allowing them to break through the spell through brute force.

"Is the caster that minotaur? Or one of those monsters in the mist?"

"They're too terrifying; we can't kill them!"

Some people are in despair.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. People who break the rules will die. Have you forgotten those who broke the rules before?"

At this moment, an old man in his sixties spoke up.

"This person is just new here today; he doesn't know how terrifying the monster is. Are you all going to die with him?"

Upon hearing his words, those present indeed backed down, their eyes filled with fear.

Yes!

Previously, there were powerful level eight evolved beings and gifted individuals who could spray water; they resisted the monsters, but in the end, they all died.

This person just came in; who knows what he's up to?

They had just acted rashly in their desperation, but now that they had calmed down, no one dared to agree with Lin Yu anymore.

They didn't know if Lin Yu was right or wrong, but they knew that provoking monsters and breaking the rules would result in death!

No one is an exception!

"Brother Yu, what do we do now?" Liu Shiyun asked.

"To leave this illusion, we must find the caster and kill him."

A cold glint flashed in Lin Yu's eyes; he didn't have much time to waste here.

"As you said, the dark creatures are there to absorb despair, so finding them shouldn't be difficult."

Liu Shiyun pondered for a moment.

He said, "As long as it can no longer absorb feelings of despair, it will naturally appear."

Lin Yu glanced at her; this woman was indeed clever.

With just a tiny clue, she could come up with a way to break the deadlock.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Bring out ten boxes of instant noodles, ten boxes of water, and some other supplies."

Liu Shiyun did as instructed.

Suddenly, a pile of food supplies appeared around the two of them, attracting everyone's attention.

Their faces all showed a look of longing and greed.

"Anyone willing to kill monsters with me, come on over. I can share some food with you," Lin Yu said, looking at the group.

As long as these people are given hope of survival, they will not despair, and the dark creatures will not be able to absorb dark emotions.

It will naturally appear on its own when the time comes.

"Don't listen to him, you'll die if you resist those monsters," the old man shouted again.

His words stopped many people from acting impulsively.

"Heh!" Lin Yu sneered.

In the end, three people walked up to Lin Yu.

"Can we eat?" the woman asked cautiously at first; they were starving.

Since she came in, she has been going hungry three times a day, nine times in three days, and hasn't eaten anything at all.

"Eat!"

With Lin Yu's approval, the three were overjoyed and tore open the instant noodles to eat them in big mouthfuls.

The eleven people opposite him were drooling.

"Everyone, we can choose not to fight those monsters, but we can take this person's food, can't we?"

Someone suddenly spoke up.

They wouldn't dare fight monsters, but they're not afraid to steal from their own kind.

"That's right, we have a share of those things too, we want to eat them too."

Someone took the lead, and a group of people glared menacingly.

Some of these people have eaten human flesh.

"They're planning to rob us!" Liu Shiyun frowned.

"Hehe! I have an even faster way to lure out the dark creatures," Lin Yu said.

"These people don't deserve sympathy."

Liu Shiyun understood what Lin Yu meant by the method.

Initially, the two only planned to use the gentlest methods to cut off the dark creatures' source of power.

But at this moment, it seems unnecessary to go through all that trouble.

"A mirage!"

Liu Shiyun is not some saint.

As she watched the leaders charge at her with bared teeth and claws, she raised her right hand and snapped her fingers lightly.

A strange wave emanated from her fingertips, like ripples on water.

The five people at the very front were instantly frozen in place, their ferocious expressions frozen in time.

next moment!

The five people's bodies cracked as if a mirror had shattered.

Then, with a "bang," that space exploded, tearing everything apart, leaving only bloodstains drifting down.

"Ah! Murder!"

Screams erupted one after another.

Those following behind had their faces and bodies sprayed with countless drops of blood and flesh.

"Shut up!"

Flames condensed in Lin Yu's hand, transforming into a huge flaming blade, about fifteen or sixteen meters long.

Of course, fifteen or sixteen meters is not his limit, but the limit of this stone chamber space.
