11:55 p.m. on Friday night.

Suddenly, there was a strange uneasiness in Tang Cis heart. The World Weekly was starting soon. If everything was going well with Lu Jiuchuan then he should send a message that said in place. This was something they had agreed upon in advance. But until now the message still hadnt come.

Tang Ci had booked himself a room on the top floor. From the window, he could see the Ronghua Building in the distance. If he wasnt mistaken, the top floor of the Ronghua Building suddenly burst into flames and a fiery streak glided across the night sky like a meteor.

It was Lu Jiuchuans summoned beast, Vermilion Bird!

In order to avoid being discovered by the hunters during the undercover period, Brother Jius cards were handed over to Tang Ci for temporary custody. However, the sacred beast card recognized its master. The Vermilion Bird card could only be controlled by Lu Jiuchuan and it couldnt be discarded. He always carried it with him. As a limited edition card, there was only one Vermilion Bird card in the entire Card World. Once the Vermillion Bird appeared, everyone knew that the person who used this card was Lu Jiuchuan.

Brother Jiu would never reveal his identity unless it was absolutely necessary.

Tang Cis expression changed when he had this thought and he immediately wrote in the group chat: [Xiao Lou, it is likely that something has happened to Brother Jiu. Use the Peach Blossom Spring to forcefully pull him over now!]

There were four minutes until the World Weekly.

Xiao Lou saw the message and hurriedly summoned Tao Yuanming in the room. It took 10 seconds to open the Peach Blossom Spring and then he teleported his teammates over. Everyone received the Peach Blossom Spring notification. A moment later, 12 people gathered under the peach blossom trees.

Lu Jiuchuans white shirt was dyed red with blood. His brow was furrowed and he covered his left arm without saying a word. Yu Hanjiang saw this and his heart shook. He hurried over and supported Lu Jiuchuan. Brother? What happened?

Lu Jiuchuans voice was low and hoarse. My identity has been discovered. I dont know what I did to expose myself but they knew I used the Mask card to disguise my face. It is certain that there were challengers inside the Hunters League or they wouldnt know about this card.

He removed the card effect and revealed his original appearance. His facial features were extremely handsome. The outline of his jaw was sharp and his sword-like eyebrows gave him a heroic spirit. It was a pity that this handsome face had an obvious scar with a length of 5 centimeters on the left side of the forehead.

Tang Ci lost his legs in the Nightmare Room while Lu Jiuchuan almost ruined his face in the Nightmare Room

Yu Hanjiang didnt dare think about what they experienced. In this moment, he saw his brothers appearance that was covered in blood and felt like a knife had stabbed his chest. Dont talk. Your injury is more important. Mr Tang, can you treat him

Tang Ci sighed and summoned a healing robot.

Shao Qingge and Ye Qis Bug King card could only be used in the Spades and Clubs secret room while Liu Qiaos Witch cards antidote was for saving someone from a near-death state. Their team didnt have any other healing card and needed to rely on Tang Cis robot.

Unfortunately, the robot could only treat trauma. It couldnt do surgery to remove the bullet.

Tang Ci said, It is almost midnight. If the bullet cant be taken out then the wound will become inflamed and infected. If the secret room is an ancient one then you will die this isnt good. Why dont we draw the card for the Spades or Clubs secret room, dig out the bullet and then use the Bug King card to completely heal the wound?

Lu Jiuchuan immediately refused. No, going to an S-grade secret room now is just looking for death. We have 12 people who havent cooperated before. My identity has also been exposed. There might be many hunters in the Spades or Clubs secret rooms.

Xiao Lou saw Brother Jiu enduring the pain with a frown and felt very worried. Brother Jiu, I might be a forensic doctor but I can do simple surgery. The bullet being left in the arm isnt fatal for now. I can help you take it out. It is just that there is no equipment like anesthesia or a scalpel

Lu Jiuchuan smiled at Xiao Lou. This isnt difficult. Then he glanced at Chu Huaying. Huaying, let me borrow your dagger.

Chu Huaying handed the dagger to him without any expression.

Lu Jiuchuan handed the dagger to Xiao Lou in a light manner. Huayings spider dagger can cut through iron like it is mud. It can be used as a surgical knife. After entering the World Weekly secret room, please help me remove the bullet first.

Xiao Lou was startled. This daggers cutting surface is too wide. It isnt as thin as a scalpel. Using it to cut your skin will cause trauma and bleeding. Without any anesthetic, youll faint from pain

Lu Jiuchuan told him, Dont worry about this. Its about time, so get ready.

Everyone had a clock in the upper right corner of their floating boxes and it was showing 23:59:50 on Friday night. The countdown was 10 seconds.

Xiao Lous fingers were a bit stiff as he held the dagger. He silently prayed in his heart that the World Weekly was a Spades or Clubs secret room. They could directly use the Bug King card and Brother Jiu wouldnt feel any pain. After removing the bullet, the wound would heal automatically.

Unfortunately, the keeper didnt seem to hear Xiao Lous prayers.

The 10 second countdown ended and everyones vision turned black. They opened their eyes again and found themselves in a dark passage. The long and narrow passage seemed to have no end and there was no light around them. A gust of cold wind blew, causing everyone to shudder.

Yu Hanjiang took out the Night Pearl and found his teammates around him. This obviously wasnt a Hearts secret room or they would be assigned different identities to solve the case A dark environment where the team members were togetherwhat would it be?

[Welcome to the World Weekly secret room: Headless Generals Tomb]

[You have come to the tomb of an ancient general. It is said that the ancient people were very good at building their tombs into mazes and setting up all types of dangerous mechanisms to prevent the invasion of tomb robbers.]

[Unfortunately, you have broken into the tomb and disturbed its master.]

[Task requirements: Find the treasure hidden in the generals tomb and exit the labyrinth from the sole exit in the tomb.]

[This World Weekly is a Diamonds secret room and each team is independent. There is no time limit but the final elimination system is implemented. All participating teams are ranked simultaneously. The shorter the time it takes to leave the labyrinth and the more treasures that are found, the higher the ranking.]

[At the end of the World Weekly, the bottom 20% of the teams will be eliminated directly.]

Xiao Lou saw the notifications in front of him and his face slightly paled. This was a Diamonds secret room with independent scoring and elimination at the end!

The final elimination system was very cruel. No matter how hard one worked, all participating teams would be in the rankings. If they were in the bottom 20% then they were bound to be eliminated. It was unlike the Hearts secret room where the instance could be cleared by solving the case or the Spades secret room where they just had to survive. This time, it didnt matter if they successfully found the exit and the treasure. They would still be eliminated if their ranking was too low!

Of course, Xiao Lou wasnt worried that his team would be at the bottom. It was just that not knowing the timing and progress of the other teams and not having the rankings updated in real time would inevitably give people a lot of psychological pressure.

Old Mos expression was very ugly. It is an elimination system and the competition will be quite fierce. In the face of life or death, many teams will show a strength that is several times more than their usual potential

Lu Jiuchuan whispered, Quickly, hurry up and take out the bullet.

Xiao Lou looked over. Lu Jiuchuan was already sitting cross-legged on the wet and cold ground. He used his teeth to tear off the blood-stained shirt sleeve, revealing a terrible wound.

Using common sense, it was impossible to do surgery in this type of environment. There was no disinfectant or anesthesia. The person experiencing the surgery would have their flesh gouged with a knife and would suffer unimaginable pain.

However, this was now the Card World. As long as he took out the bullet, the remaining wound could be left to Tang Cis intelligent robot to bandage and treat.

Xiao Lou held the Blood Spider dagger and looked at Yu Hanjiang. The other person patted him lightly on the shoulder and whispered to him, Since he has asked for it, he can bear it. Lets do it.

Lu Jiuchuan raised his mouth in a smile. I have to trouble you.

Xiao Lou nodded and came beside Lu Jiuchuan. He used the light of the Night Pearl to see as he moved the Blood Spider and quickly cut at Lu Jiuchuans arm. The mans muscles tensed. The stinging pain of his skin being cut open by a sharp blade made him sweat but he gritted his teeth and didnt make a sound.

Xiao Lou knew that the slower his movements, the longer Brother Jiu would suffer. He couldnt drag things out. It was best to act quickly.

Xiao Lous face was extremely serious as he stared at Lu Jiuchuans wound. His slender hand cut Lu Jiuchuans arm along the muscles. In the midst of the blood, Xiao Lou quickly found the bullet and precisely removed it with the dagger. This dagger wasnt a scalpel and the trauma it caused was too big. Lu Jiuchuans arm was dripping with blood and the scene of flesh and blood caused people who saw it to feel numb.

Shao Qingge thought of Ye Qi in the 10th level who also had many bullets stuck in this body. In fact, they couldve used this violent method to take out the bullets and let the bugs heal the wound. However, he was reluctant to let Ye Qi be cut apart. In addition, one of the places where Xiao Ye was shot was his chest and that area was more dangerous than his arms.

Now looking at Lu Jiuchuans sweaty and pale face, Shao Qingge felt a lingering fear. He leaned toward Ye Qis ear and whispered, Remember, you arent invincible even if you turn into the bug king. The bug king can still be injured. There might be healing powers for 24 hours but if not handled properly, the bullets left in the body after 24 hours can be very life-threatening.

It was only now that Ye Qi realized how dangerous the 10th level secret room had been. He nodded earnestly. I know. Thank you. His teammates had worked like crazy to solve the case overnight and didnt sleep even for a minute. It turned out they wanted to leave the 10th level quickly because they were afraid something would go wrong

Ye Qis eyes were slightly hot and he trembled. Unfortunately, this is a Diamonds secret room and our Bug King card cant be used. Otherwise, Brother Jius injury could be healed immediately.

Tang Ci used his healing robot to stitch together Lu Jiuchuans wound. It was just that the healing robots power wasnt as strong as the bug kings. Lu Jiuchuan had to endure the severe pain. Fortunately, the wound started to heal quickly after being bandaged and the mans pale complexion gradually improved.

Long Sen, Qu Wanyue, Liu Qiao and Old Mo stood to the side in a shocked manner. Lu Jiuchuan was really a strong person! Xiao Lou cut his arm open with a knife and forget about shouting in pain. He actually didnt make a single sound from beginning to end! It was worthy of being a tough soldier.

Everyone had been uneasy about four new people joining the team since they didnt know each other. Now they saw Lu Jiuchuans reaction to the injury and felt shame and admiration in their hearts. Were they hugging the thigh of a great god?

Xiao Lous hand was sweaty as he returned the dagger to Chu Huaying. Chu Huaying put away the dagger with the scarlet spider web pattern on the handle. She looked into Lu Jiuchuans eyes and said lightly, This dagger is used for killing. It is a waste to use it to dig out a bullet for you.

Lu Jiuchuan laughed before glancing at Xiao Lou. Thank you, you are really bold and careful.

Xiao Lou had tried his best to avoid doing too much damage to Lu Jiuchuans arm. His hands were swift to make Lu Jiuchuan suffer less. Lu Jiuchuan appreciated this calmness and decisiveness at a critical moment. He thought that this was the person his younger brother liked and couldnt help patting Xiao Lou on the shoulder as he chuckled. You helped me once. Let my younger brother repay you well.

Yu Hanjiang, ???

Yu Hanjiang reacted and said with a sullen voice, You still have the leisure to joke around!

Lu Jiuchuan put away the jokes and waved his hand. Lets go and explore what is buried in this generals tomb.
