That conclusion was quite hurtful!
Dugu Yamo’s first reaction was to deny it.
However —
Deep down, she knew that the second possibility was the truth.
“No!” Dugu Yamo held her head in distress.
She could admit that on the first two floors, Feng Wu had saved everyone by discovering some unique method, but to admit that she wasn’t even close to Feng Wu’s level was too painful a reality to accept.
Dugu Yamo fell into pained silence.
15 minutes passed very fast, especially since it was a countdown.
“Three minutes left!” Feng Xun was filled with despair when he saw what they had gathered so far.
Yes, they had found a lot of seafood, but it was nowhere near 250,000 kg. What should they do?
“Two more minutes left!
“One minute.
“Thirty seconds.”
The countdown went on.
Everyone looked more and more desperate, and they all looked defeated.
Just then —
“Hahaha!”
They hear a gloating guffaw, which only worsened their mood.
It was none other than the ghost king, who had given them this impossible task!
“Hahaha, my little friend, have you finished?” The ghost king’s giant face reappeared in the sky; he was laughing so hard that his whole face twitched.
“We’re doomed…” Feng Xun thought to himself.
“Well, that was smart. I see that you’ve pushed the seawater aside.” The ghost king grinned when he saw the space. “So, have you finished the task?”
Everyone fell silent…
The ghost king descended with a whoosh, riding the pregnant sea dragon.
He glanced at the food and asked the sea dragon. “Is that enough?”
The sea dragon frowned and shook its head. “No!”
“No?” The ghost king pondered.
The sea dragon said matter-of-factly, “There’s 50,000 kg of meat here. In a normal situation, it would be enough to fill my stomach. But things are different now. I’m pregnant, so this is only 20% of what I need.”
The ghost king looked down at Feng Wu. “Kid, did you hear that? That’s not enough.”
Feng Wu bit her lower lip.
Immediately, everyone became very quiet.
Drip, drip —
Time ticked by, and the 15 minutes were soon over.
Everyone was panic-stricken.
Was that heart going to explode?
What would happen? Were they going to die?
They were still fidgeting, when the ghost king grabbed the heart at the last second. It didn’t explode!
Feng Xun and the others looked nervously at the ghost king and kept trembling.
That was because —
If the ghost king released the heart, they would all die.
“Kid, you didn’t finish the task on the third floor. Do you admit it?” the ghost king asked in a righteous tone.
He had complicated feelings as well.
He wanted Feng Wu to win and lose at the same time.
He wanted her to win because he was moved by what she had said. If the Survival Team could turn the situation around and win the competition in the end, it would be a great story.
And he wanted her to lose because —
