Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

Then, he turned to look at the four teammates beside him and asked, "What do you think about the next choice? Do you choose to pay 10,000 survival points and return home safely, or do you decide to continue participating in the competition?"

"Need I say more? Of course we should continue fighting!" Yunshan expressed her opinion without hesitation, with a firm and fiery light shining in her eyes.

This game looked fun at first glance, and more importantly, she finally had the long-awaited opportunity to fully demonstrate her abilities, slaughter everyone, and let everyone witness her style!

Xingmei frowned slightly, revealing a puzzled look. "The rules of the game state that a round may last up to a thousand years. If we waste too much time here, how much time will pass in the real world?"

"Hmm... this is indeed a question that needs to be considered." Hearing this, Cecily also fell into deep thought, "Don't let us participate in a game and find out that everything has changed after we return."

Dongmen Qiansha turned her gaze towards Li Ming and asked seriously, "Captain, what do you think? We are still facing the threat of demons in the real world. It seems that we really can't spend too much time here."

"You are all overthinking it. This game environment is definitely simulated. It is impossible for it to be a real thousand years. For us, it may just be a blink of an eye." Li Ming replied calmly.

Yunshan asked curiously, "Why are you so sure?"

Li Ming smiled slightly and explained, "Because we simply cannot live for a thousand years. Even for the most powerful psychic, according to the time of our world, the maximum lifespan is only about three hundred years."

"So, the gaming environment at the top of the statue cannot be real. It can only be simulated."

"Yes, this is more logical." Xing Mei's eyebrows revealed a look of relief, "It's impossible for players to participate in a game and the real world will pass dozens or even hundreds of years."

Dongmen Qiansha joked, "If that much time had passed, I'm afraid our team headquarters would have been demolished without leaving any residue."

After resolving their doubts, they no longer worried about whether to continue participating in the competition.

They turned their attention to other teams, curiously observing whether any team would choose to withdraw from the competition.

The three-minute waiting time passed in a flash, and surprisingly, no team chose to withdraw from the competition.

But when you think about it, this seems to make sense.

After all, every team that can advance to the quarterfinals possesses strong strength. If they are afraid before the battle, how can they make it all the way to the quarterfinals?

Furthermore, the next level of the game is a melee among all teams, and even if they cannot take the top spot, as long as they can rank fourth, they can successfully advance.

Faced with such an attractive prospect, it would be too unwilling to choose to withdraw at this moment.

At this moment, a golden beam of light shot up into the sky and gushed out again under everyone's feet. Its dazzling light was like a golden wave, drowning everyone.

Enshrouded in the dazzling beam of light, Li Ming suddenly felt a sharp pain deep in his mind, as if he was hit hard by an invisible force.

Then, his consciousness gradually became dizzy, and finally he fell into complete darkness...

I don’t know how long it took, maybe just a moment, but it also seemed like a hundred years.

When his consciousness returned, he was surprised to find that he had turned into a dark purple soul, floating freely in the sky.

Looking around, he found that there were four other souls of different colors - light green, snow-white, fiery red and orange-yellow. These were obviously the souls of his four teammates.

"Have we turned into ghosts now? This feeling is so wonderful." Yunshan conveyed her thoughts to the people around her with a hint of excitement.

Although the communication through telepathy by high-level psychics can be received by everyone around them, in this situation where they cannot speak, they can only rely on this method to communicate.

"About that." Li Ming responded, and then he checked the system functions.

The system interface can be opened normally, but none of its functions can be used, and even the backpack is in an inoperable state.

Then he looked around and was surprised to find that his perception ability seemed to have been greatly enhanced and he could detect very long distances.

The sky of this world was shrouded in darkness, with almost no light to be found.

Below, the ground presents a rugged mountainous shape with extremely lush vegetation, like an undeveloped primeval jungle.

"Little man, the system said before that we need to find a strange stone and merge with it as soon as possible, otherwise the soul will gradually dissipate." Cecily reminded.

"I understand. However, before taking any action, it is better to observe the surrounding environment. Everyone follow me, let's fly lower to the ground and check the location of the strange stone." Before Li Ming finished speaking, he flew towards the ground first.

Upon hearing this, Cecily and the others hurriedly followed, flying along with a soul body emitting deep purple light in front of them.

When they flew to an altitude of less than one thousand meters from the ground, they were surprised to find that there were many creatures living on the ground. No, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them monsters.

Among these creatures, there are many giant individuals with strange shapes. They have sharp teeth and ferocious mouths. They fight each other in this primitive land, presenting an extremely bloody picture.

"Everyone, look at that large protruding rock. It seems to be glowing faintly. Could this be the strange stone we are looking for?" Yunshan's divine thoughts suddenly came, attracting everyone's attention.

“It shouldn’t be wrong. I have a strong urge deep in my heart to merge with it.” Cecily responded in an affirmative tone.

Xingmei also looked at it intently, "Look, there are a few similar protruding boulders not far away. Should we merge them here?"

"No." Li Ming turned his attention away from the two giant lizards fighting fiercely. "There are too many monsters here. I don't feel safe. Let's change locations."

"Oh, could it be that the monster will attack the statue?" Yun Shan asked in confusion.

“It’s hard to say.” Dongmen Qiansha’s tone revealed a bit of caution. “The strength of the monsters here should not be underestimated. Some have even reached the L4 level. Even if the aftermath of their battles affected the statue, the statue would not be able to withstand it.”

"That's right. The current situation is not clear, and we don't even know how to play this game. In short, it's better for everyone to be cautious. After all, this is about our lives." Li Ming warned and flew forward quickly.
