Chapter 811: Voting

The three Twist-Dragon Warriors looked at the star-studded Qiankun Twins, stiff smiles appearing on their faces as they nodded in response.

They had joined the Twist-Dragon Warriors far earlier than these two, yet they watched as these two were favored by the top brass, their status soaring... The emotion called "jealousy" rose in their hearts, only to be suppressed by reason.

The Heart Python wandering above the crowd seemed to have found its target, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the emotions of the three.

The three immediately calmed down, their previously stiff smiles becoming natural and amiable... At the same time, the Heart Python continued to wander among the crowd, devouring certain things in their hearts.

After Chen Ling broke through to Tier 4, the original [Heart Python] finally made some progress, changing from single-target devouring to being able to devour the emotions of multiple people simultaneously... This Tier 6 skill was gradually becoming complete as Chen Ling grew.

When it wandered a circle above the crowd, it basically took a bite out of everyone, but when it reached the shoulder of a young girl, it suddenly felt a bit confused.

"My lord, I've simply treated the wounds on your body... However, flesh and blood repair takes time, so you must be careful not to pull at the wounds again." A girl of the Medicine God Path followed Tu Tian, her moon-bright eyes glancing at Tu Tian's profile before quickly lowering her head, a blush appearing on her cheeks.

When the crowd encountered the first obstacle earlier, this girl was walking in the lead. If Tu Tian hadn't broken the wall immediately to take her to safety, she would probably be a corpse by now.

"Many thanks." Tu Tian smiled, reaching out to wrap his arm around the woman's waist, only to be dodged by her, blushing.

"Lord Tu Tian! Please respect yourself!" the girl said seriously.

"Fine, fine, fine... I won't touch you, okay?"

Tu Tian shrugged with some regret, looking at Fu Di beside him holding a beauty, feeling a bit itchy inside.

In the end, the Heart Python didn't take any emotions from the girl and left quietly, trailing far behind the crowd as if waiting for something.

Just then, a mechanical whirring sound came from ahead. The crowd immediately slowed their pace, moving forward vigilantly...

The narrow corridor gradually widened as they moved forward, eventually becoming an oval space. When the crowd stood still, a mailbox marked with a number rose beneath each person's feet, corresponding to them one by one...

In the center of this space, a sign hung in the air.

[Obstacle 2:]

[Participants who chose this path must complete an internal vote. The three people with the most votes will immediately fall into the 'Red Flame Purgatory,' and the rest can continue to the next obstacle. This vote has a 60-second timer. If the vote is not completed within the time limit, everyone will fall into the 'Red Flame Purgatory.']

[Note: The current progress of participants on this path is the fastest among the Six Palaces of Clever Springs.]

The moment this sign appeared, a massive red timer began to tick above their heads. The red light on the surrounding walls flickered with the seconds, casting the faces of the crowd in a blood-red hue.

59,58,57……

At this moment, everyone's brain was racing!

"The obstacle is a vote??"

"That's fine, at least we don't have to face those dangerous mechanisms, and as long as three people are sacrificed, we can continue!"

"It says our speed is the fastest among the six palaces. Does that mean after passing this, we only need one more obstacle to claim the [Privilege] the fastest?!"

"But, which three people should we vote for??"

When this question was asked, the air fell into a dead silence, with only the scarlet light flickering silently.

42,41,40……

As the seconds ticked by, everyone was extremely nervous. It was then that Tu Tian and Fu Di looked at each other and nodded heavily.

"Everyone, listen to my command." Tu Tian spoke immediately, his voice ringing like a bell in the enclosed space, "Write down 03, 08, and 13. Vote them out, and we can continue!"

The three people whose mailboxes were marked with these three numbers had their expressions change instantly, filled with terror.

The three of them were the weakest among the crowd, and they had been trailing at the back of the team, not having any interaction with the Qiankun Twins, just like invisible people... Tu Tian chose them as targets almost without hesitation.

25,24,23……

Almost everyone looked at these three, a glimmer in their eyes, as if thinking about something.

Tu Tian and Fu Di wrote these three numbers directly on the paper in their mailboxes and dropped them in, feeling extremely calm... There were only a dozen or so people here, five of whom were their own Twist-Dragon Warriors, plus the few civilians who relied on them, so it was easy to get more than half the votes.

In this obstacle, the two of them had a considerable advantage.

An invisible python wandered over the crowd.

12,11,10……

After a brief hesitation, everyone gritted their teeth, began to write three numbers on the paper, and dropped them into the mailboxes.

The last one to write was the Medicine God Path girl. She seemed a bit panicked, and after struggling for a long time, she gritted her teeth and stuffed the paper into the mailbox... Almost simultaneously, the countdown hit zero.

The red light froze in the silence, and the entire space was a sea of red.

Snap—!!

Tu Tian was about to speak when he heard a loud mechanical sound. The floor beneath his feet suddenly opened, and he plummeted instantly!

Falling with him were Fu Di, who was beside him, and a civilian expert who had always lacked presence.

Everything happened too suddenly. The three of them didn't even have time to react before they were swallowed by scorching flames... As the floor closed with a sound, the space returned to calm, and the eerie scarlet light returned to normal.

The people standing there looked at each other, their backs soaked in cold sweat...

They let out a long sigh of relief, as if they had just survived a disaster.

"...The three people have been voted out, why hasn't the door opened yet?" A Twist-Dragon Warrior member looked around and frowned.

In the control room,

Chen Ling saw this scene through the mirror, the corners of his mouth slightly raised...

The others were also stunned. Before they could ponder this question, the floor beneath their feet was shattered, and two figures wreathed in flames leaped out, carrying lethal pressure and滔天 rage, returning to the passage!

At this moment, everyone was stunned. They looked down in astonishment, only to see that the so-called "Red Flame Purgatory" was nothing more than five crude flame-spraying pipes. It was impossible for flames of this intensity to burn the Qiankun Twins to death!

The crowd's faces turned deathly pale. They cursed the obstacle designer eight hundred times in their hearts. Who the hell designed such a childish mechanism and gave it the dangerous name "Red Flame Purgatory"?!

They had thought that being voted out meant certain death, but they hadn't expected it to just be a bath, only to be released back!
