168: Chapter 168 Abandoned Unfinished Building 21
At this moment, in Luo Yuejians Exclusive Livestream Room:
[I burst out laughing, hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha...]
[Damn, a type of plant.]
[No, hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha, I really can't take it anymore, Moon God is just too damn good at messing with people's mental states, hahahaha hahahaha!]
[Hahahaha, that was too slick. Moon God's move of hiding that skill must have completely stunned the other players, right?]
[Holy crap, who could have guessed that Moon God's Infinite Card skill in this round could heal external injuries?]
[Newbie here, just asking, why did the streamer hide this skill? Wouldn't healing the Tattooed Man earlier have strengthened the team's capabilities? Or can this skill only be used once?]
[I'm not sure how many times it can be used, but Moon God definitely did it on purpose by not using this skill on the Tattooed Man earlier.]
[Moon God is definitely always prepared to take the minimum guaranteed reward, which is why she kept refusing to use the Infinite Card on the Tattooed Man. She's such an old schemer.]
[Yeah, hahahaha. It's obvious that Moon God just got impatient with these players dawdling here, which is why she took out the Infinite Card to leave as soon as possible.]
[I feel like there's another point: Moon God confirmed that the remaining players pose no threat, so she couldn't be bothered to hide the skill anymore.]
[By the way, since Moon God is willing to use the Infinite Card's healing skill on the Tattooed Man, does that mean this guy isn't the Psychopathic murderer?]
[Eh, that's hard to say. It's actually possible...]
After seeing the White-haired Girl's cold expression and hearing her calmly say that she had a skill to heal external injuries, the few players were all stunned.
"If you had a healing skill, why didn't you bring it out earlier?"
But on second thought, perhaps her skill could only be used once per round, so she cherished it. After all, the Tattooed Man's injuries weren't fatal.
Now that she was able to bring it out for him to use, the Tattooed Man was still very grateful to Luo Yuejian. After all, if not for this skill, whether he would be able to make it down was another matter entirely.
"Thank you so much!" the Tattooed Man thanked her. "If there's a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you!"
Luo Yuejian's expression changed, thinking to herself, 'How are you repaying kindness with enmity?!'
After using the Infinite Card to heal the injuries on both of his arms, the Tattooed Man felt completely refreshed. After all, ever since entering this game, he had basically been in a semi-crippled state.
Now that his arms finally didn't hurt, the Tattooed Man breathed a sincere sigh of relief. Since he had already decided to go down first to scout the path, the Tattooed Man didn't think about going back on his word now; he nimbly crouched down, grasped the rope, and climbed down.
He was terrified the whole way down, but the fire hose was far sturdier than they had imagined. Aside from the hose swaying back and forth due to his exaggerated movements while climbing down, it didn't show any signs of snapping.
When the Tattooed Man finally spent a quarter of an hour landing safely on the ground, he immediately waved his hands excitedly toward the top and shouted, "No problem, come down quickly!"
The other players were also very happy, seeing a way for themselves to survive.
The second player to go down was the Gentle Man with Glasses. Don't let his gentle appearance fool you; he didn't have much trouble climbing the rope.
He climbed much slower than the Tattooed Man and even rested several times along the way, but ultimately he landed steadily and stood panting beside the Tattooed Man.
This made the remaining players above feel much more at ease. Two players had already landed safely, proving that the rope was indeed very sturdy.
The result of being too relaxed was getting hung on a tree.
The third person to go down, the Girl in Pink Jeans, had clearly overestimated her physical strength. She wasn't a person who excelled at sports, and she hadn't done any strenuous exercise in a long time; climbing down from a height of 40 meters by hand was truly pushing her physical limits.
When she barely gripped the hemp rope for the fifth time and hung in mid-air, panting heavily, the Girl in Pink Jeans already had a foreboding feeling in her heart.
She could clearly feel her physical strength draining rapidly; at this rate, there was no way she could hold on until she reached the ground!
The Girl in Pink Jeans' face turned pale, cold sweat beaded on her forehead, her expression stiffened, and she was terrified, with tears welling up in her eyes.
The Tattooed Man below was still shouting, "Slide straight down, hold onto the rope, don't be afraid of your hands getting chafed! You'll never be able to make it down like this!"
The Girl in Pink Jeans was scared to death, her eyes filled with intense fear, but things had reached this point; if she didn't make a change, she would definitely die from physical exhaustion.
So, the Girl in Pink Jeans spent a long time mentally preparing herself, gritted her teeth, and actually listened to the Tattooed Man below, loosening her grip slightly.
This feeling, comparable to bungee jumping, made the Girl in Pink Jeans' heart stop for a second; however, that wasn't even the most terrifying part...
Anyone with experience knows that if you climb down the hemp rope hand-over-hand, although your palms will certainly chafe from the rough surface of the rope—and in worse cases, even bleed—it is all within a range of pain that humans can tolerate.
As long as you endure it a little, there isn't a big problem.
But in the state of rapid sliding that the Girl in Pink Jeans was in now, the intense pain caused by the friction between her palms and the hemp rope was definitely not something an ordinary person could withstand!
The Girl in Pink Jeans screamed in pain, her hands completely losing control and letting go of the hemp rope, and then she simultaneously lost all control of her body, plummeting straight toward the ground!
From the moment the Girl in Pink Jeans decided to let go to her uncontrollable plummet toward the ground, everything happened in a flash; the other players couldn't react in time.
The Girl in Pink Jeans was already incomparably desperate; in this situation, she knew she was a goner. She closed her eyes tightly, preparing to welcome death.
Just at this critical moment, a not-so-small stone flew over from above at an extremely rapid speed.
Its flight path was not a normal straight line, but presented an extremely subtle arc.
Just as the stone brushed past the Girl in Pink Jeans, the distance between the two was astonishingly close. No sooner said than done, at that very instant, the stone happened to land squarely and lightly against the girl's back.
Normally, such a light tap shouldn't have caused much of an impact. However, the impact force of this stone was exceptionally huge, and its inertia was beyond imagination. Because of this, the moment it made contact with the girl's back, the force borne far exceeded that of an ordinary falling stone, thereby forming a perfectly timed buffer.
With this tap, the Girl in Pink Jeans let out a terrified scream, lost her balance, and plummeted straight down like a kite with a broken string. However, when she finally hit the ground, she was surprised to find that what was beneath her was not the cold, hard touch she had expected, but a warm, soft cushion of flesh.
The Girl in Pink Jeans' heart was pounding frantically in her chest; she opened her eyes in terror and confusion, looking upward.
For some reason, for an instant, she felt as if she could see the White-haired Girl above, coldly watching her.
