Chapter 1201: Drawing Lots in the Round Hall

Chapter 1201: Chapter 1201: Drawing Lots in the Round HallTo avoid the scenario Ye Bingxin mentioned about accidentally entering the same door under the new rules, causing mutual elimination, the four of them ultimately decided to

"Players are allowed to opt out."

At the center of the room stood a circular table about half a meter in diameter. On the table was a box made of plants, with a round hole on each of its four sides for a hand to reach inside.

The other three players seemed to have just arrived as well. The moment they saw each other, all four simultaneously darted toward the circular table. The female player with long hair to Xu Huo’s left was the first to reach into the box, but before she could pull out a slip, the man opposite her opened his mouth wide and sprayed three poison needles toward her face!

The poison needles pierced the first layer of her defensive barrier. She tilted her head to dodge the needles only to face an attack from another player on her left.

"Let’s split peacefully!" she shouted to the male player, and the two were simultaneously pushed ten meters apart by the impact of their props. As she escaped danger, she managed to draw a slip, but as soon as she looked down at the number on it, a hand grabbed her wrist!

"Let’s split peacefully!" the female player repeated her tactic, but the one grabbing her was Xu Huo. As he retreated, he had already taken her slip and swiftly approached the corresponding door.

However, just as he stood at the entrance, the ground rapidly shifted backward, and a spatial barrier blocked the door ahead!

Xu Huo turned and swung his sword at the player behind him, forcing them to deactivate their prop’s effect. His sword then transformed into the Tang Sword, nicknamed "Cake Cutter," which he used to slice open the barrier in front of the door from a distance.

At this moment, the female player reappeared and threw a glass bead onto the ground in front of him. The slip in his hand uncontrollably slipped downward, and the player to his right said, "Switcheroo," causing the slip that Xu Huo tried to grab mid-air to turn into a leaf.

In this small-scale skirmish, the effects of minor props turned out surprisingly effective. However, even though the enemy managed to steal the slip, they couldn’t open the door without the correct lot.

Xu Huo activated the spatial ray to create three barriers in front of the door.

The player who came to steal the slip proved skilled, though. Pebbles flicked from his fingers struck the barriers one by one, revealing the invisible barriers as tangible obstacles that could now be targeted for destruction.

While the female player and another battled the holder of the slip, they inadvertently shattered the barrier. The slip soon passed to another player, but within five seconds, it returned to the female player’s possession.

This time, the player who had the slip immediately withdrew from the brawl and rushed toward the door.

He switched the slip.

Xu Huo watched closely but didn’t intervene. The door opened successfully, yet it wasn’t the correct gate. From the pitch-black doorway, multiple vines shot out at an alarming speed, ensnaring the player and dragging him inside!

The nearby players locked in combat abruptly paused. The female player exclaimed in shock, "He actually got grabbed by mutant plants!"

The other player, recognizing the plant, said with a hint of dread, "That’s Ox Hair Vine. It doesn’t just entangle targets; before it moves, it shoots tiny spiny hairs at its prey. These hairs are numerous, poisonous, and can paralyze the nervous system in less than a second. That’s probably how he got caught."

After the vines dragged away the player, the corresponding door vanished. Now only three doors remained.

The three players exchanged glances before the female player suggested, "I think there’s no need for us to fight. If we end up wasting our lives before even entering the maze, there’d be no point."

"If you put away the knife in your hand, I might actually believe you." The male player ran the edge of his Mitsubishi Spike along his pants leg, swept his gaze across Xu Huo and the female player, and sneered, "Seems like eliminating external interference before drawing lots is the best option!"

Before he finished speaking, he moved toward Xu Huo, clearly treating him as his first target.

Xu Huo remained motionless. The Rank-A prop "Unassailable Territory," forming the spatial barrier around him, wasn’t as flimsy as those created by spatial rays. The Mitsubishi Spike failed to advance even a millimeter against it. The player, now within a mere one or two meters of him, had just begun to display a look of shock on his face before a black metal bead pierced his temple!

This was Xu Huo’s first time using "Death of the Holder" so smoothly, likely due to the opponent being only a Rank-C player.

With one player dead, another door disappeared.

Xu Huo kicked the corpse aside and turned to the remaining female player. "To avoid having newly entered players dilute our winning chances, let’s settle this quickly."

The female player immediately backed off and made a "please" gesture toward him.
