The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 234 - 181 Warning! Warning from the Paradise System! (7000-word combined - )_3

Penelope Bloom sternly said, "And now that we're leaving, even if fighting breaks out, the sheriff, Ah Xiao, and I... we will all protect you."

Besides being core members of the Justice League, their clear benefits from this sunny and cheerful big boy's command throughout the journey and his judgments on routes had helped them reach this point.

Given those past promises combined with this favor, he naturally had to fulfill it.

Ethan Dawn almost cried.

Boss, seriously, I'm dying! Being able to interact with an inside tester like Boss Penelope Bloom was purely by accident in an instance... I was influenced by the boss's righteousness, became friends with him, and with decent talent, I became a formal member of his power.

He swore to himself that he must boost the boss to the top of the ranked battles!

Although Boss ranked second in the ranked battles, Ethan Dawn himself had also quietly made a lot of efforts, even if he never let Penelope Bloom know about them.

"Let's go, Su Buxian." At this moment, Ethan Dawn solemnly communicated with Su Qi through Spiritual Energy, "I've been hiding this partly because of our friendship and also because of what you told me before—that the boss would face lethal danger... there's almost a 99% chance he might die in this instance, possibly even missing the ranked matches…"

"The danger ahead is now clear, it's time to leave."

Su Qi calmly said,

"We can't leave at all, on our way here... there were probably a hundred Seventh Rank terrifying monsters."

"???" Ethan Dawn widened his eyes, "But I didn't see a single one!"

"I told you, I am your great guide."

Su Qi said, "Unless you follow the previous route back exactly as we came… or let me command again, the chances of not disturbing the Seventh Rank monsters are roughly 1.2%."

"Of course, like a chain reaction, once one Seventh Rank monster is disturbed, coupled with the large noises of players fighting, it will inevitably attract other Seventh Rank monsters, and the likelihood of surviving... you do the math."

"..."

Ethan Dawn's eyes shifted slightly, looking at Su Qi with a trace of fear in his eyes.

What kind of person was this, leading a group of players through such terrifying and dangerous places, mentioning all these lethal threats so lightly, as if… he had planned everything, dragging everyone down with him.

"You said earlier… my boss might face lethal dangers."

Ethan Dawn solemnly looked around, "Now I realize, you brought this on us!"

Su Qi: "... How can you tarnish someone's reputation out of thin air."

This guy… sure thinks ahead. That statement of mine was the truth after all, the countdown to destruction... including this world, naturally also includes players, Paradise had never realized it until the eruption, still unclear about what would happen.

In any case, during public testing, the Paradise System's authority and level seemed not to be high... after all, how could a player during public testing encounter Divine beings, not to mention a Seventh Rank… Players were already hooting and hollering, let alone stronger entities.

Most of the System's Strength seemed to be concentrated in the true Paradise.

"Alright, drop that complex look, I'm not some big villain, obviously, a protagonist."

Su Qi calmly said, "I just recently helped some kids do their homework while their parents weren't home."

He was referring to Tentacle Man and Ah Ling, who, with his help, had significantly increased Paradise's performance.

"..."

Ethan Dawn fell silent. Trust this guy? Yeah right, only believe a fraction of what he says!

"Besides, there's no use talking about this now."

"Hm?"

Su Qi's gaze shifted to the rear, "In just the past few minutes, quite a few players have slipped away, but at the same time have also drawn the nearby Seventh Rank monsters over... look."

"They've arrived."

Ethan Dawn widened his eyes, gazing into the fog behind where he could faintly make out a massive form; the monster, wielding a Giant Axe, was looking over with fiery red eyes, causing many players to look alarmed.

"That quickly?"

"I told you, this fog is filled with deadly traps, easily disturbed."

The Seventh Rank monsters had specific patterns of movement, a piece of information obtained through the probing of Gan Wencui and two others; it seemed to be patrolling... but actually appeared to be related to some kind of ritual.

Even Su Qi had to spend dozens of minutes thinking about the route forward, finding a loophole, taking ten minutes to rush everyone forward.

Let alone... the players now wishing to retreat.

Ethan Dawn's expression trembled, "Wait, is this why you didn't let everyone leave? Because, as per what you just said, it would trigger a series of chain reactions, attracting the monsters around us!?"

"Congratulations, you've started thinking."

"Congratulations my ass, aren't we doomed either way?!"

"Pretty much, as both moving forward and staying here don't offer much hope of survival... and the only way out..." Su Qi looked towards the deep red exclamation mark.

Though the fog obscured most of the visible area, he could faintly see... the outlines of a shattered City.

"... lies ahead."

His words held a double meaning, not only representing the current situation but also hinting at the chance that lay in the countdown to destruction.

"So... after all this detour, we still have to step into the place warned by the system?" Ethan Dawn looked uneasily forward, muttering.

"It seems it was meant to be."

"Bullshit meant to be!" Ethan Dawn glared, "If other people didn't enter here, none of this would have happened, right?"
