Chapter 513: Island of Devil's Maw (19)

The darkness before Ambitionist suddenly faded away. His sense of hearing and touch also returned at the same time. He opened his eyes and realized he was lying on the ground. The next second, he bounced up and sat up. Then, what entered his eyes was a giant black hand and a familiar figure.

Do you remember what happened? Feng Bujue who was not far away, turned his head to look at Ambitionist and asked. The latter slightly creased his brows in thought and replied, I was He tossed his gaze to the Sealing Hand. Slammed into the ground by that thing Ambitionist then turned his head around to look at the space behind him. By then, his stain already disappeared before Uncle Worthless, Pegasus and Atobe's shadows were still sealed on the stone path.

What's going on? Ambitionist turned to Feng Bujue and asked, It was you who saved me?

Of course, who else could it be? Feng Bujue shrugged and answered easily.

Hmm, how long until the end of the time limit for the mission? Ambitionist added quickly. His first reaction was not to thank Brother Jue but ask something more practically and from that, they would decide what to do next. Of course, Brother Jue did not mind that. In reality, he approved of this action, because he would have done the same thing.

Don't worry, there's still 15 minutes left. Feng Bujue replied. As he said, he used his thumb to point behind him. Based on my knowledge, we are very close to the shrine already. We'll reach there after going over that small hill 300 metres away. He paused and then used his index finger to point at the Sealing Hand opposite him. I'll deal with this thing in another 10 minutes to save the rest of them. So we will have 5 minutes to hurry to the destination Hmm, it should be fine.

Hmph you've won by luck twice and you have your nose up in the air already? The Sealing Hard was getting more annoyed listening to what Brother Jue said, I will not lose to uyou again!

Hmm how come that sounds so familiar? Feng Bujue replied caustically. Oh~ Right! You have said something similar a few minutes also, the only difference was the 'once' has been changed to 'twice'.

Shush! Let us continue! The Sealing Hand roared.

Fine, you ask for it Feng Bujue answered. He raised his hand to prepare for the game. At that moment, Ambitionist was filled with confusion and shock. He thought to himself. [What is happening He won that thing twice already? How did he manage to do that?] It was reasonable for him to feel confusion. Not too long ago, Ambitionist and his other three teammates ran into the Sealing Hand and naturally they too played the same game of rock paper scissors. But they all lost. All of them took the stage one by one and was defeated one after another. In other words, the last one player had the chance to observe three different cycles (so at least 9 rounds) but he still could not win The Sealing Hand. Just as a side note, Ambitionist was the last player because the other three believed it did not matter even if they lost. Ambitionist would be able to discern some trick or rhythm from their matches and then use that deal with this mini boss. But Ambitionist was unable to pick up anything and thus things worked out the way they did.

Come on! Rock paper scissors! While Ambitionist was trying to figure this out, Brother Jue and Sealing Hand had started a new cycle.

Ah Ha! Brother Jue licked his lips. I win again. He smiled wickedly. That's seven consecutive wins for me.

Damn you bastard Even though the Sealing Hand had no mouth, its current voice sounded like they were hissed through its 'teeth'.

[What is happening pure luck? Or is there some kind of tactic?] Ambitionist looked on with nervousness and thought to himself, [But there probably isn't any tactic when it comes to something like rock paper scissors even though I've heard about some hearsay like a 'newcomer will always go with rock' but that is pointless in multiple rounds. Furthermore, the enemy is not even a person. To read the possible result from the minor hand gesture, eye movement or configuration is impossible either.]

You are way too nave. Feng Bujue suddenly turned around to tell Ambitionist.

Ah? Ambitionist was startled to hear that.

Based on your expression, I know you are thinking how did I manage to win. Feng Bujue continued, Hmph naturally it is not luck. If I depended on luck, I would be long sealed on the ground like the rest of you already.

Then what is this? Ambitionist asked.

I am merely copying what he is doing. Feng Bujue glanced at the Sealing Hand. To predict what the enemy will do and then use that to my own advantage.

What? Ambitionist gasped.

Hah that's why I said you're nave. Feng Bujue laughed drily. You really think it will play a fair game with you?

Ambitionist turned to glare at the Sealing Hand. Qie so you have some kind of instantaneously predictive ability? That is too cunning!

Shush! I don't need your comment! The Sealing Hand hissed. I never said I did not possess such power and I did not say one could not use that power!

Hue hue well said Feng Bujue snickered maliciously. Come on, let's carry on. Then he played another round with the Sealing Hand and Brother Jue won again.

Ergh Blast it The Sealing Hand cursed and complained.

Again! Feng Bujue shouted. The next round passed in the blink of an eye and Feng Bujue appeared victorious. Therefore, Uncle Worthless was restored from the seal. As angry as the Sealing Hand was, it was a 'hand' of its words. It continued to play and followed its promise, with every loss of each cycle (3 rounds), it would release a player from the seal. It did not take too long for all the players that had been sealed to be restored to their original state. With Ambitionist providing the explanation, the other three had caught up to the situation.

Hmph Fine, you win. The Sealing Hand had lost all its leverage, it said with resentment. I have run into a better player today, I surrender The game is over, bring your teammates and leave this place.

I refuse. Feng Bujue dropped this surprising answer crisply.

What did you say? The Sealing Hand and the other four players reacted the same way.

Come on, continue. Another round. Feng Bujue said as he raised his hand again.

Wait wait a minute The Sealing Hand's shrill voice started to tremble. Your teammates have all been restored, why do you want to

I can choose to continue the game, can't i? Feng Bujue interrupted.

Er you you can The Sealing Hand was obviously afraid from the way it stuttered the answer.

Then what will happen if I win this cycle? Feng Bujue asked pointedly.

Do not push it, I am warning you! The Sealing Hand shouted back out of anger or perhaps fear.

He he he Actually I already guessed the answer without needing you to tell me. Feng Bujue's smile was extremely evil. If I win, you yourself will be sealed into the ground, won't it?

Grrr The Sealing Hand could not deny, so it could only groan furiously.

As I expected Feng Bujue chuckled sadistically. Come on. Rock! Paper! Scissors! A rather strange scene commenced. As unwilling as The Sealing Hand was, it continued to play with Brother Jue as if the latter was the real owner of this 'zone'. Two seconds later, the result was revealed Feng Bujue won again.

No please no The Sealing Hand said nervously, Please stop!

One more! Feng Bujue yelled and followed it up with another win.

No, please, I beg you! The Sealing Hand started to beg. How about a trade? We can make a deal! Just tell me what you need, as long as it is within my powers
