Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

“Holy crap! Bro, good thing you reacted in time!”

With one hand grabbing Shen Yu's foot, Wang Qi barely avoided falling into the abyss. Meanwhile, Shen Yu had managed to jam his spear into the twisted substance, barely holding everyone in place.

On the other side, Pei Wenyu and the others were doing the same, relying on this method to barely prevent their bodies from completely falling into the abyss of shadows.

But this was clearly not a long-term solution, because the composition of the substance in this chaotic intersection was unknown. Shen Yu's spear and Pei Wenyu's sword, plunged into the twisted substance, only temporarily stabilized their positions.

In reality, the substance was gradually being cut apart by the spear and sword, and their horizontal level was slowly decreasing.

If the spear and sword really cut through this twisted substance, there was a real possibility that everyone would fall directly into this endless abyss.

“Is it because we're too heavy?” Yan Yichen gritted his teeth. “I've noticed that the other players are mostly working independently, rarely helping each other. They're using their weapons to stabilize themselves in the twisted substance, but they don't seem to be falling.”

In any case, they had the weight of several people hanging on a single weapon, so exceeding the limit was understandable.

But exceeding the limit meant that some people had to be sacrificed.

Only by sacrificing enough people, allowing them to stabilize their positions in mid-air, would they have a chance to survive this round of competition.

Having come this far, everyone definitely wanted to go as far as they could. Stopping here would surely leave them feeling unsatisfied.

However, this only applied to those lone wolf players who were working independently.

Wang Qi, who was at the bottom, glanced at the abyss below and said, “That's about it. I think my fate is sealed. Instead of holding you guys back, you might as well continue to advance.”

Yan Yichen and Shen Yu simultaneously lowered their heads, staring into Wang Qi's eyes.

The three of them stared at each other, speechless for a long time.

Yan Yichen: “Then jump?”

Wang Qi: “Damn it, I'm being so righteous, and you two ungrateful bastards can't even say something nice to comfort me?”

Shen Yu: “You're being ridiculous. Why are you getting so sentimental, you big man? We'll just die together.”

Wang Qi: “Damn it!”

After saying these two words, Wang Qi wiped away nonexistent tears from the corners of his eyes, released his hand, and fell into the endless abyss.

Watching Wang Qi fall into the deep water, Shen Yu looked at Yan Yichen again.

Yan Yichen: “What? Am I next to jump today?”

Before Shen Yu could answer, Jiang Bo suddenly said, “Yan Yichen shouldn't jump. I should jump instead. With Shen Yu's intelligence, he needs a brain to lead him forward, and Yan Yichen is the most suitable for that position.”

Shen Yu: “If my spear weren't stuck in the wall right now, I would have stabbed that mouth of yours.”

After speaking, Jiang Bo looked at Lan Fu and Pei Wenyu above.

“Ladies, I'll take my leave first. Do you have anything to say?”

Pei Wenyu shook her head, indicating that she had nothing to say.

Lan Fu, however, revealed a smile.

“Hurry up and let go. You're grabbing my ankle, it hurts!”

Jiang Bo: “……”

With the second person sinking into the abyss, the speed of their descent noticeably slowed down.

Letting out a breath, Shen Yu finally realized something.

“Where's Fu Yun?”

Everyone looked at each other, only then remembering that they seemed to have forgotten someone.

“I really have to thank you for remembering me,” a resentful voice came from not far away, “I thought you guys had forgotten about me long ago.”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fu Yun lying on a piece of twisted substance like a turtle.

This piece of twisted substance was extremely small, and the area of shadow that could block the light was also very small. Fu Yun had to stick to the ground to barely ensure that he wasn't illuminated by the strange light.

But the good news was that the shadow on his side hadn't turned into a pool, preventing Fu Yun from sinking into the abyss.

“Why hasn't his area turned into a shadow?” After a brainstorming session, Yan Yichen came to the simplest conclusion.

“Can a shadow only hide one person?”

He quickly looked around and discovered that the number of shadows around was only about one-tenth of the number of players who had entered this round.

In other words, only about one-tenth of the players who advanced to this round could survive to the next round!

“What a damn battle royale game show!”

Yan Yichen let out a reluctant roar, “Damn it, are we on some kind of game show? Is the whole world watching us?”

“Stop rambling,” Lan Fu said from the opposite side, “Since that's the case, then we'll never be able to determine a winner here. Two people have to go to other shadows, or be eliminated directly. Do you have any ideas?”

Four people, two must be eliminated.

Either go and compete with other top players for the remaining shadow seats.

If we're being realistic, then the latter is extremely difficult.

Even top players wouldn't be able to withstand this terrifying light and snatch a shadow seat from Pei Wenyu and Shen Yu, let alone create two out of thin air.

Unless, they find two more shadows.

In that instant, Yan Yichen's brain spun rapidly, and his vision caught a very crucial piece of information.

“Old man…” Yan Yichen's mouth twitched, and he let out a dry laugh, “Can we talk about this?”

Hearing Yan Yichen's words, the cleaning worker old man revealed a sly smile, “Whatever you want, just ask. Whether I agree or not is up to me.”

You dog thing…

Yan Yichen tried his best to maintain a gentle smile, “Old man, can you come over here and let me hide behind your shadow?”

“Oh, that's what you mean,” the cleaning worker old man laughed, “Of course, but…”

As soon as he heard the word 'but,' Yan Yichen's face darkened.

This old bastard!

The old man stretched out his hand and said to Yan Yichen, “You should have something I'm very interested in. If you're willing to give me that thing, I'd be happy to let you hide in my shadow.”

Damn it, is that really giving?

Isn't that just a pure transaction?

A drop of cold sweat ran down Yan Yichen's forehead. Time was running out, and helplessly, he could only rummage through his bag for a while, then take something out and throw it to the cleaning worker old man.

It was something similar to a whistle. After receiving this thing from Yan Yichen, the smile on the cleaning worker old man's face immediately became even more intense.

“Very good, then you can come over.”

After speaking, he turned his head to look in the direction of Pei Wenyu and Lan Fu.

“Ladies, there's also a small shadow behind my cleaning cart.

“I wonder… what kind of conditions can you offer to make me willing to exchange this shadow?”
