Chapter 3838

Under Zi Chen's gaze, many attacks fell from the sky, drowning Sheng Lun and the people he brought with him.

Sheng Lun did not dodge, or rather, he did not have time to dodge.

Under everyone's gaze, Sheng Lun wanted to sneak up on Zi Chen and deal with him first.

However, no one expected that at the same time, more people would seize the opportunity to launch sneak attacks on Sheng Lun.

There were no accidents or miracles.

Sheng Lun, who was drowned by the lights of the props, and the people he brought with him disappeared after the energy dissipated.

They had been eliminated.

Sheng Lun had been eliminated.

There were less than 05 contestants left out of more than 60,555 contestants.

Zi Chen, who was puzzled, was stunned when Sheng Lun disappeared. However, he soon guessed something and had an answer in his heart.

The answer made his heart turn cold, and he could not help but shudder.

The bustling Sagely Mountain City suddenly became very quiet. It was as if the bustling city had become a dead city at this moment.

Sheng Lun, who was the most likely candidate for first place in this test, was actually eliminated. He did not even make it into the top 85.

After a short silence, there was an uproar.

This was too surprising.

Since Sheng Lun was eliminated in advance, those who had bet on Sheng Lun were destined to lose everything.

For a moment, some people could not accept this blow and directly fainted.

At this moment, many people lost their family fortune because they had bet on Sheng Lun.

In this city, more than 15% of the people who participated in the bet bet on Sheng Lun.

Some people were more conservative. It did not matter if Sheng Lun got first place or not. As long as he could make it into the top 85, they would make a profit.

Now, Sheng Lun did not even make it into the top 85.

He had been utterly defeated and lost everything.

Compared to most of the people around them who were in despair, the She Shan brothers were greatly relieved. Zi Chen's dodge was like a stroke of genius. Since he had dodged Sheng Lun's sneak attack, his chances of making it into the top 85 were naturally higher.

*****

Zi Chen's expression kept changing because he had vaguely guessed the real purpose of Sheng Lun's appearance in the casino.

He had deliberately appeared in a high-profile manner, and then deliberately placed a bet that he would win. Lan Hongyi had very appropriately cooperated with him, so he had placed a bet that he would win first place.

If Lan Hongyi hadn't deliberately ridiculed him at that time, Sheng Lun would have deliberately found an excuse to buy himself first place.

Zi Chen didn't know anything else, but he was very clear about one thing. A lot of people had bet on Sheng Lun this time.

At first, he was surprised. If Sheng Lun had really become number one, then the gambling house would have lost a lot of money this time.

Now he understood. When he entered this place, Sheng Lun had never thought of getting first place. He had never even thought of getting into the top 85.

This was a trap, a trap that targeted all gamblers.

Furthermore, Sheng Lun clearly knew that he was going to be eliminated, so he made a move against him. It was obvious that he wanted to disqualify him before he left.

This was a real thing, not an illusion.

But what was with the illusion that he saw earlier?

If he hadn't seen what had happened before, he wouldn't have been able to react at all. Perhaps he would have already been disqualified.

Seeing this trap, Zi Chen had no way to break it. Everything was already over. Those who had placed a lot of bets on Sheng Lun were destined to lose everything.

At this moment, the lights of the props were still shining. Everyone was attacking each other. Zi Chen's side was a little too quiet.

There were only four people left on Zi Chen's side.

Zi Chen didn't continue to move forward. Instead, he silently watched the people fighting.

Of course, that was if this was considered a battle.

The number of people was still decreasing. At this moment, several attacks came whistling over. The people on Zi Chen's side were finally affected.

However, because Zi Chen hadn't bought a single item, he was only on the receiving end of the attacks, but he couldn't fight back.

An attack landed on Zi Chen's body. Zi Chen suddenly felt his body become heavy, as if he was carrying something heavy on his back.

However, he didn't move from his original spot, so the pressure wasn't too great.

This was the first time he truly felt the power of the props. It wasn't as scary as he had imagined. It was still within an acceptable range.

However, for some reason, people were disappearing one after another.

This made Zi Chen very puzzled.

When Lan Rui couldn't hold on any longer, he opened his eyes. He glanced at Zi Chen and said "take care" before disappearing.

Just as Lan Rui disappeared, the lights of the props around them disappeared as well. Zi Chen looked over and saw that there were only 85 people left.

At this point, 85 people had been decided.

The outside world was in an uproar. There were too many unexpected things today. Apart from Sheng Lun, there were more than a dozen people who should have been able to get a place, but they were all disqualified.

Of the 85 people now, less than half of them could be called by name.

However, regardless of whether they were famous or not, they were now the focus of attention. Each of them had their own special image.

Outside a gambling house, the She Shan brothers were shouting excitedly. They formed a sharp contrast with the gloomy and suicidal people around them.

This time, not only did they bet all their money on Zi Chen, but they also borrowed a lot from outside.

Zi Chen successfully entered the top 85. Their profits would at least increase by five times. How rich was this?

"If I knew this would happen, I would have pawned my head in exchange for more blue crystal coins to bet."

She Shan's younger brother said regretfully.

"Take it slow. This is just an appetizer."

She Shan's older brother was also grinning from ear to ear. Behind him, the people who followed them were so excited that their bodies were trembling. They had also bet all their money. This kind of return was much faster than being a bandit. Moreover, there was no danger to their lives.

Compared to the excited She Shan brothers, the eyes of the people around them were cold, as if they wanted to eat someone.

The top 85 had been decided, and the showdown of props had come to an end. There was still no end to the stone steps ahead. Obviously, they still had to continue climbing.

However, no one moved. Obviously, no one wanted to be the first cannon fodder.

Therefore, the 85 people were in a stalemate.

The gravity on Zi Chen's body disappeared. He walked forward.

Lan Gu Meng and Shan Ya followed behind him.

Anyway, the three of them did not have any props. It did not matter if they left sooner or later. They would not affect the others.

Seeing Zi Chen and the other two move, many people's faces lit up. They subconsciously tightened their grip on the props in their hands. It was great that there was someone taking the lead. At least they did not have to worry about being behind because Fulgurating Shadows could change their position at any time.

After stepping onto a new step, Zi Chen's expression changed slightly.
