Chapter 135: Counterattack

"White pointer doesn't guarantee landing on white squares every time." Xu Huo pressed down on his hand. "My item only has one successful chance out of ten attempts. How about you lend me the hourglass instead?""Brother Feng, this guy's being dishonest. I say we just kill him!" Qi Shan turned his head and said.

Brother Feng slowly wiped his gun barrel, staring at Xu Huo as if contemplating something.

Xu Huo instead smiled and said, "If you don't even have this much courage, why come rob super items? Or are you afraid of dying, knowing you're destined to lose?"

"Might as well just use your train tickets and leave?"

"Even if we leave, I'll kill you first!" The Tall Sturdy Camouflage Soldier rushed over and punched him in the face. Xu Huo's head snapped to the side, but he laughed out loud.

Brother Feng stopped the two men and declared, "I'll take the next round."

"No!" Qi Shan immediately objected. "The probability of white squares appearing next round is very low."

The three men no longer bothered hiding their conversation from others. "In life-and-death rounds, white squares are most likely to appear at twelve and multiples of twelve. Even if no white square appeared in the twelfth round, this guy just got another survival opportunity. White squares might not appear for a long time after this."

"The higher probability of white squares appearing in the twelfth round is just something we heard from others. Seeing is believing—maybe what he said is the method to break the life-and-de-death round." Brother Feng threw his gun to the Tall Sturdy Camouflage Soldier. "I'm not leaving in disgrace like this."

This time, the Tall Sturdy Camouflage Soldier didn't obey him. He threw aside both his guns and rushed forward into the circle's center. "Brother Feng, if it's a black pointer, I won't spin it. If it's a white pointer but I die, slaughter all these people to accompany me in death!"

Brother Feng moved to pull him out, but Qi Shan held him back. "Brother Feng, believe in Stone. He's not someone afraid of death—he'll definitely come out alive!"

Brother Feng struggled briefly before giving up, his eyes fixed intensely on the Tall Sturdy Camouflage Soldier. "Brother..."

Xu Huo coldly watched their performance. When the ground pointer stopped and the camouflage soldier reported it was a black pointer, he showed a barely detectable smile.

Eight minutes later, the large man exploded into a mess of flesh and blood.

Brother Feng and Qi Shan, standing nearby, were splattered with blood across their faces.

"He himself was afraid of death and moved the black pointer. They won't blame us, right?" Wang Chaoqing whispered.

Over there, Brother Feng wiped the blood from his face and walked directly into the circle, gripping the hourglass. "Bring everyone over."

Qi Shan raised two guns to herd people. This time, even Xu Huo and several other players were included. The remaining twenty-plus people from the roulette crowded around Brother Feng, with Xu Huo standing at the periphery, facing Brother Feng's gun pointed directly at him.

"With so many people, aren't you afraid someone might stab him?" After the pointer stopped, Xu Huo suddenly said.

This time, the Tall Sturdy Camouflage Soldier didn't obey him. He threw aside both his guns and rushed forward to step into the circle's center. "Brother Feng, if it's a black pointer, I won't spin it. If it's a white pointer but I die, slaughter all these people to accompany me in death!"

"Brother Feng...!" He leaped forward.

Xu Huo, who had been waiting for this opportunity, swung his crimson sword. Sword energy like a thin film sliced through the air, directly cutting toward the other's waist!

Qi Shan quickly blocked with his gun, but unexpectedly, the long gun snapped in two. He was forced back to his original position, and before he could steady himself, sudden raging flames erupted on his body!

Tearing off his clothes, he rolled on the ground, using the blood puddles to extinguish the flames. When he stood up, he suddenly held an old-fashioned silver hunting rifle, aiming at Xu Huo who was raising his sword: "Die!"

Xu Huo snapped his lighter shut, lifting two fingers. Piano wire floating in the air lifted the gun barrel upward, causing the bullet to thunderously blast into the mall's glass dome!

Shattered glass fragments flew everywhere. Qi Shan tried to escape amid the chaos, but Xu Huo had no intention of letting go so easily. His flying arrow had already been deflected by a water-like barrier rising at Brother Feng's feet. To prevent the two from joining forces, he had to eliminate Qi Shan quickly!

Piano wire wrapped around Qi Shan's neck. As the man was dragged backward, Xu Huo delivered another sword strike!

But at that moment, Qi Shan jammed both hands into the wire, forcibly tearing it away before quickly sidestepping to avoid the attack while firing another shot!

Xu Huo immediately used the Ox Shield to protect himself, but he hadn't expected the bullet's power to be so tremendous that it forced him to slide backward several meters, barely reaching the roulette's edge!

Controlling the flying arrow to return and block Qi Shan who was trying to shoot again, Xu Huo changed direction and rushed toward Brother Feng.

Qi Shan was halted by the freely moving flying arrow. Just as he tried to follow, someone suddenly pounced from the side, wrapping around him like soft rope with both hands and feet!

"What the hell is this?!" Qi Shan turned his head, but paper from somewhere unknown plastered over his face, blocking his mouth and nose. When he tore the stuff off his face, the person holding him suddenly released their grip.

The two fell face-to-face to the ground. When Qi Shan saw it was Painting Woman, he immediately reached for her throat. Suddenly noticing her smiling and pointing at the ground, he looked down in horror and was instantly exploded into bloody foam!

Painting Woman disdainfully wiped the blood from her face, then turned and gave Xu Huo an "OK" gesture.

Xu Huo's original plan wasn't direct confrontation anyway. Now that Painting Woman had lured the man outside the roulette and used the rules to kill him, it suited his intentions perfectly.

Having dealt with that one, he turned back to look at Brother Feng, who still hadn't spun the pointer, and the hourglass in his hand.

Brother Feng had protective items around him—attacks couldn't get close, and even reaching out would be blocked by the water barrier.

Xu Huo couldn't touch the hourglass, couldn't interrupt the hourglass's process, and he didn't know how large an area the hourglass could cover. So the only option was to force Brother Feng to withdraw from the life-and-death round!

"Everyone retreat!" He made the surrounding people move away, then raised his sword and slashed down again and again.

Sure enough, after suffering over ten attacks, Brother Feng finally couldn't restrain himself and spun the pointer early. The moment he regained clarity, seeing the long sword about to slash his face, he suddenly leaped backward, the hourglass in his hand transforming into a grenade-like object that he threw out!

Xu Huo dodged aside, but the grenade hovered in mid-air after being thrown, multiplying from one to two, two to four, splitting into four small bombs that exploded!

Everyone nearby was affected by the blast. Xu Huo had several small fragments embedded in his back. He reached back and touched them—there was actually green liquid on them.

"It's Mutant toxin!" Wang Chaoqing and Baseball Cap shouted simultaneously from behind. Wang Chaoqing was more panicked. "We're done for! Mutant toxin kills people!"

"We're Evolvers, we should be fine, right?" Baseball Cap immediately said.

"Whether you're an Evolver or anyone else, Mutant poison kills everyone! Unless you have an antidote!" Wang Chaoqing cried.

"In your world, there are no Mutant antidotes yet." Brother Feng looked around left and right. Not seeing Qi Shan's figure, his expression suddenly changed, glaring viciously at Xu Huo: "I actually fell for your trick!"
