283: Chapter 283 Treasure Land 53

Upon hearing this from the Doctor with a low ponytail, both the Plump Boss and the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket were taken aback, then looked at her in shock, wondering why this player had suddenly gone mad.

They had all witnessed the terrifying power of that black liquid; it was a highly corrosive substance capable of instantly dissolving a robust Mutated Mandrill into a pool of blood.

Although under the command of the White-haired Girl, they had supposedly dropped 100 heads into this pool, the black liquid showed no changes whatsoever, which made them suspicious once again—

Could it be that they hadn't actually put 100 heads into it at all?

Or perhaps putting in 100 heads simply wouldn't cause any change in the black liquid, and this was just some sort of sacrificial ritual? Was their previous understanding completely wrong?

Regardless, jumping in directly now would likely serve no purpose other than adding another head to the pool.

When Luo Yuejian first heard the words of the Doctor with a low ponytail, she was also greatly astonished, her thoughts identical to those of the Plump Boss and the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket.

"Has this Doctor with a low ponytail gone mad?"

"If one were to jump directly into the black liquid, wouldn't that just be pure suicide?"

But as soon as this thought occurred, the words "Are you crazy?" which she almost blurted out, stopped at her lips, and after a moment of hesitation, she swallowed them back down.

Luo Yuejian broke into a cold sweat, realizing she had almost missed such a perfect opportunity to die.

This time, she didn't even need to rack her brains for a reason; the Doctor with a low ponytail had already come up with one for her.

What was wrong with following the ideas of a veteran player?

Nothing at all~

If she really did accidentally die in the black pool water, then it was just the veteran player's idea that was wrong, so what did that have to do with her?

Luo Yuejian was very certain that as long as she could jump into that black pool, she was absolutely doomed.

There was no chance of survival; the fate of those Mutated Mandrills would be her fate!

Luo Yuejian was inwardly ecstatic, telling herself she must seize this opportunity and succeed in dying at one go!

She looked at the Doctor with a low ponytail with calm eyes and nodded slightly. "That's right, we should jump down."

"What?!" Hearing Luo Yuejian's nonsense, the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket exclaimed. He had previously thought that the Doctor with a low ponytail might have been grasping at straws, which was why she said something so unrealistic.

But now, the White-haired Girl had actually affirmed the other person's answer. In other words, were they really going to jump into that terrifying black pool?

A trace of fear crept onto the cheeks of the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket. Recalling the tragic end of those Mutated Mandrills, he truly lacked the courage to jump into the pool filled with black liquid.

The Plump Boss also frowned slightly at this moment. Although he had a certain foundation of trust in the White-haired Girl and the Doctor with a low ponytail.

But if he were to jump into such dangerous pool water based on that trust without any evidence, that was absolutely impossible.

In any case, the reason the Doctor with a low ponytail had just given was not enough to convince him.

After all, the hint that "The true treasure is a brave heart" had come entirely from the mouth of the White-haired Girl, and there was absolutely no evidence to prove that this hint was real.

And even if this hint was indeed correct, perhaps the object it pointed to was not the black liquid at all.

With a thousand worries in his heart, the Plump Boss didn't say a word, just asked as if lost in thought: "Since we have deduced that we should jump into that black pool, and time is running out, let's go down as soon as possible."

He looked at Luo Yuejian, as if just asking casually: "Are you going down first?"

His intention was to test the White-haired Girl, to see if she really thought jumping into the black liquid was the way to clear the level, or if she was just trying to set a trap for the other players.

Or perhaps she wasn't sure if the speculation was correct, so she wanted other players to test the waters for her.

However, who would have expected that as soon as he asked this question, the White-haired Girl just glanced at him indifferently.

That look was truly icy, as if she had already seen through all the little schemes in his heart. It made the Plump Boss shiver uncontrollably, and he subconsciously wanted to start explaining.

However, before he could utter the first syllable, the White-haired Girl withdrew her gaze, her words very brief, as if everything were under her control: "I'll just go down."

Luo Yuejian was thinking that although if she successfully died and was resurrected, even if these players died in this game, they could be resurrected and continue to the next game, but that would still mean playing another game.

If she could clear this game directly, it would definitely be better to just clear it.

So there was no need to drag the others into the task of dying. Luo Yuejian prepared to jump directly into that pool of black liquid herself.

Her words about going down herself made the other players slightly surprised. The Plump Boss and the Doctor with a low ponytail were even more moved.

Although the idea of jumping directly into the pool filled with black liquid was proposed by the Doctor with a low ponytail, she herself held a cautious attitude toward such an absurd and dangerous proposal. She dared not actually act on it.

After all, if she judged wrong, the price would be her life.

They had originally thought that the discussion about who would jump into the pool filled with black liquid first would be another drawn-out argument.

The two veteran players had already decided that if they couldn't reach a reasonable conclusion, then even if it meant using force, they would have to make the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket jump in first to check the situation.

After all, among the players present, this player had the least say.

And the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket even had a faint premonition of this, so his expression was quite nervous and uneasy.

But who could have imagined that the White-haired Girl would actually take the initiative to suggest that she could do it alone.

This made the players breathe a sigh of relief while simultaneously giving rise to a glimmer of anticipation. After all, the White-haired Girl certainly wouldn't actively seek death.

Since she dared to suggest jumping into the black pool water alone, it proved that there must be an important clue for clearing the level beneath the pool.

Perhaps... such a thought couldn't help but emerge in the minds of several players: the game was about to end.
