Chapter 586: Chapter 584: Wishing You Success!
Under the threat of the gun, the two attendants could only tremble as they walked towards the door.
When they reached the door, just like before, the four stone lions remained perfectly still.
"Hoo..."
The two of them took a deep breath together, then held their breath and reached out to push the door.
"Crack...crack..."
The two stone lions instantly opened their bloody mouths, biting off the upper bodies of the two attendants.
As their upper bodies were bitten off, the lower halves quickly turned into blood and seeped into the stone steps.
"Gulp!"
This scene made everyone present involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Lars and the others frowned even more.
What on earth could be done to open this door?
Do they have to continue feeding the stone lions?
As for Thomas and the others, they were completely terrified.
Just a moment ago, there were four living people, but now they had all been crushed by those seemingly lifeless yet animate stone lions.
Given Lars and their ruthlessness, they would surely send someone else to try next.
Who would be chosen as the guinea pig?
Of course, it would be these hostages they had tied up!
None of them wanted to lose their lives so inexplicably.
But do they have a choice?
The answer is no!
Either they die directly at the barrels of Lars and the others’ guns.
Or, they walk to the door and attempt to push it open...
The first choice meant certain death.
And the second choice?
Even though it wasn’t certain death, there was still a high chance of getting half of their body bitten off by a stone lion.
Thinking of this, Thomas and the others showed regret on their faces.
If they had known, they would never have joined this adventure.
For Lars and the others, it was indeed an expedition.
But for them? They had become expendable in the adventure!
Regret! Such deep regret!
"It still doesn’t seem to work!"
Ramon put away his pistol, walked to Lars’s side, and said in a low voice.
Lars seemed not to hear him, muttering to himself, "When the first fatty went up, it was the first stone lion on the left that suddenly bit."
"When the one who got shot went up, it was the first stone lion on the right that bit."
"Finally, when those two went up together, it was the second stone lions on the left and right..."
Saying this, he rubbed his stubbled chin and continued in a deep voice, "Now, all four stone lions have eaten people, consumed blood and flesh."
"So the next person might very well open the door!"
With that, he turned to look at Ramon beside him.
"No, no, no, I don’t want to go!"
Ramon naturally understood his companion’s meaning.
He shook his head very firmly.
Maybe Lars’s deduction was quite correct, but what if Lars was wrong?
He didn’t want to end up like that companion yesterday, or the four just now, with his upper body bitten off by a stone lion.
He came to find treasure, to seek extraordinary abilities, not to throw his life away.
"Alright!"
Seeing this, Lars had to shake his head helplessly.
Then he looked at Crew Member A and Crew Member B.
Like Ramon, they shook their heads vigorously, refusing.
With so many guinea pigs around, why should they send themselves to die?
"Find someone else to try!"
Lars had to sigh helplessly in the end.
To be honest, even he himself was not willing to try, let alone Ramon and the other two?
"No problem, my good brother!"
Seeing Lars wasn’t insisting, Ramon released his grip on the pistol grip.
He turned and walked towards Thomas and the others, his eyes starting to select a guinea pig just as before.
Thomas and the others wished they could bury their heads in the ground.
They already felt their hearts beating faster than ever before.
If they weren’t selected, they might survive a bit longer, holding onto a thread of hope for rescue.
But if they were selected, they would end up dying miserably like the four before!
"Madam, please go up and... push open that door!"
Upon hearing this, everyone knew someone had been chosen, so they all raised their heads to look in that direction.
Ramon was standing in front of Yan Tong, wearing a friendly smile.
Everyone was surprised that Ramon had chosen Yan Tong, but exactly because of that, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts because they were not chosen.
Standing nearby, Zhang Songkang felt his heart about to leap out of his throat.
Fortunately, Ramon had said "lady" and not "gentleman."
Zhang Songkang sneaked a glance at Yan Tong.
This graceful and charming beauty was now pale as a sheet.
"I..."
Seeing the beauty in such a state, Zhang Songkang wanted to stand up and offer to open the door instead.
But though he opened his mouth, no words came out.
He knew if he did, he’d likely die in front of the door.
Is sacrificing his life for a woman worth it?
Of course not!
So, Zhang Songkang quickly shut his mouth again, keeping his head down as if he hadn’t seen anything.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ramon saw Zhang Songkang’s cowardice, making him smirk sarcastically.
Though he looked down on such cowardly people,
he had to admit that his choice was quite wise.
If he stood up, willing to die for a woman, Ramon would look down on him even more.
At the same time, he was more interested in Yan Tong’s reaction.
He was curious if Yan Tong would beg for her life like that pampered young master before.
If so, he might indeed show some mercy...
Yan Tong naturally felt the eyes on her from all directions.
Her emotions were very complex.
Disappointment, regret, despair, helplessness—all surged to her mind.
In such circumstances, who could save her?
No one!
"Perhaps death is a kind of relief too!"
Yan Tong sighed softly, then slowly stood up, stretching her hands to Ramon.
Ramon was slightly taken aback.
She showed none of the pleading he imagined, and was even somewhat calm.
What is this? Coming to terms with life and death?
"Beautiful lady, I wish you success!"
Ramon’s face returned to his usual smile as he swiftly untied the ropes on Yan Tong’s hands.
"Thank you!"
Yan Tong nodded slightly, her beautiful face showing her charming smile once again.
Ignoring the gazes of others, she walked alone towards the door.
Watching her figure, a trace of regret appeared on Thomas’s face.
He genuinely liked that Dragon Country woman with the surname Yan.
But it was only a liking!
He wasn’t willing to stand up and give up his life for her.
After all, there are many beauties, and as long as he can leave here alive, what kind of beauty can’t he find?
