Chapter 309: Chapter 141: Let’s Crack Open the Easter Eggs Together_2

Tai Sui had shown his strength and achieved the strongest record in the field. No longer did he need to seek out others for alliances; instead, everyone was now eager to team up with him.

"So, Sister Ling Sha, what should we do?" Lin An asked.

Ling Sha calmly replied, "There’s nothing we can do. The control is now in Tai Sui’s hands."

"If he wants to fight, we fight; if not, we cooperate. It’s that simple."

"If I have to say something... I still need to keep Tie Shou safe. That way, there’s an additional buffer between us and Tai Sui."

"The strongest are prone to killing each other in a fight for survival and are most susceptible to being taken advantage of in the end."

"I’ve lost count of how many I’ve heard about who die shortly after making a breakthrough. The more survivors there are, the more room we have to maneuver, and we won’t rush into a deadly fight."

"Aside from Black Knight, who definitely needs to be taken out, there are no grudges with the other four. In theory, we could cooperate until the end."

"Tie Shou is no simple character either. He has kept himself well-hidden and is extremely strong. If things go as expected, he could drag this into a draw on his own."

"But we should still help him."

Startled, Lin An looked out the window and saw Tie Shou moving swiftly and dodging skillfully atop the dome, with Gao Xin unable to catch him.

Leaping vertically and overcoming gravity to reach a height of a hundred meters, Tie Shou had already dodged away.

As for the shots from the Meteor Crossbow, they missed as well. Tie Shou’s reactions and accuracy were so good that he could even blast Gao Xin’s arrows out of the air.

If it wasn’t for his Energy Cannon being countered by the Demon Blade, he would have dominated from a higher position and bombarded Gao Xin into submission.

At this moment, the situation had reached a stalemate.

Gao Xin couldn’t defeat him for the time being, and Tie Shou couldn’t kill Gao Xin either.

If Ling Sha entered the fight, they would have an even better chance of saving Tie Shou.

Thinking this, Lin An looked at the betting board: "A draw, huh... If Tie Shou draws with Tai Sui, then the 5 points Tai Sui bet will be void."

Ling Sha smiled and said, "Even in a draw, he wins everything. Guess why he bet 5 points? It’s to prevent others from betting."

"That way, even if he doesn’t win, it will just be void, and the points will carry over to the next bet."

"Tai Sui took on six bets in total. Among them, the duel between Marsh Crocodile happened after the first four, and his was settled as the fifth, and now he’s dead."

"That means, regardless of the outcome of the first five bets, whether they are right or wrong, the points all go to Tai Sui."

Lin An pursed his lips. Gao Xin had bet 5 points on every single outcome, which was higher than anyone else in the arena, a very standard ’locking bet’ tactic.

Others no longer had any reason to bet unless they also reached 5 points, otherwise, the bet would automatically go into the prize pool.

But the highest anyone else had individually was just 4 points; no one could match the bet.

The only one that could be matched was the sixth bet, [Black Knight duels Tai Sui].

In this bet, Gao Xin only bet 1 point, which was still a draw.

If people wanted to bet at that time, they could choose to put all their bets on Black Knight winning and then fight Tai Sui with full force.

If they all survived and successfully killed Tai Sui, they would win big, dividing all the points accumulated from his previous voided bets.

But it was a trap. If Viper and the others had done that, it would be like splitting the money among four and kicking Marsh Crocodile out of the team, since he only had 2 points.

Meanwhile, Lin An, holding 4 points, was watching closely.

If everyone’s points dropped, Ling Sha was certain to come into play and kill Black Knight, making everyone’s points void; Lin An could simply open a bet with 4 points on a correct guess and win everyone’s points.

Thus, Viper and his team could only enter with their points, maintain a five-person team, and kill Gao Xin first. That way, all of Gao Xin’s points would be voided.

With a total of 26 points in the prize pool, they were holding 4 points outside and could still gamble.

But they never expected that, instead of dying, Gao Xin turned the tables and killed them.

In theory, as long as Gao Xin could kill Marsh Crocodile, it didn’t matter whether he killed the others; all the points would return to him either way.

The entire process was like Gao Xin depositing his points in the bank, fighting a battle, and then retrieving them...

The only possible mishap was the 1 point in the [Black Knight duels Tai Sui] bet.

But it was just 1 point, hardly a concern.

Even if Lin An killed Black Knight, letting that 1 point become void, what was the point? It would mean losing ten points!

As for killing Gao Xin, forget about it.

So at this moment, Ling Sha and Lin An couldn’t actually do anything but watch all the points concentrate back into Gao Xin’s hands.

If Tie Shou survived, then Gao Xin would have 40 points!

If even Tie Shou was killed, Gao Xin would take all 44 points!

"I’ll enter the fray, but you don’t come down. Although I am confident I can defeat him, that doesn’t mean I can keep you safe,"

Ling Sha told Lin An, then holding the round table, she declared, "Ling Sha duels Black Knight!"

She then decisively entered the arena.

Seeing her come down, Tie Shou was uncertain, not knowing if Ling Sha was there to steal his kill or to help him.

However, Gao Xin figured it out and said with a faint smile, "Why not duel me instead?"

For the first time, Ling Sha showed a calm and gentle smile to someone: "Tai Sui, I admit I underestimated you before."

"Now that the enemies are eliminated, you and I can completely cooperate until the end."

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow: "Oh? And you would let me leave with these forty-plus points?"

Ling Sha smiled, "Forty thousand redemption tickets are indeed tempting, but you are more enticing."

"I don’t care about the money, I want you."

Gao Xin was taken aback: "Ah? Are you confessing to me?"

Ling Sha also paused, then widened her eyes and her lips twitched as she said, "What are you thinking! I’m inviting you to join Tangren City!"

"As long as you join Tangren City, you can take the forty thousand for yourself, since we’re all on the same side."
