Chapter 273 Don’t Give Up Easily

With a slight crackling sound of electricity, the brother and sister who were good at using lightning abilities - Lei Zhen and Dian Wu, came to Shen Xing and his group with their unique publicity and vitality.

There was curiosity and excitement in their eyes, as if they could mobilize the power of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth at any time.

"Hey, Shen Xing, we meet again! This time, my brother and I want to join your team and explore this fantasy together, what do you think?"

Lei Zhen spoke first, his voice filled with unquestionable confidence, while Dian Wu smiled playfully and waved her fingers lightly, almost making the air around them tremble. Fortunately, she restrained her strength in time.

Shen Li couldn't help laughing when she saw this. She thought these two people were really interesting. Their casual and unfussy attitude made her feel very close to them.

"Haha, you two are so interesting, welcome to join us!" She welcomed them without hesitation.

Seeing this, Shen Xing also smiled and nodded. He always supported Shen Li's preferences unconditionally. "Since Shen Li likes it, then you two can go together. But remember to control your strength and don't burn us all by accident." He said half-jokingly, but his eyes flashed with concern for the safety of his teammates.

However, Mo Fang on the side seemed a little worried. He gently pulled Shen Xing aside and whispered:

"Shen Xing, you must not be careless. I have heard about Yun Yi's character for a long time. He is indeed a trustworthy partner. But we know nothing about this pair of siblings. In this fantasy world full of dangers, it is best for people who don't know to stay away from each other to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Shen Xing frowned slightly when he heard this, but he soon relaxed his brows and looked at Mo Fang with a firm gaze.

"Mo Fang, I understand your concerns. But in this illusion, what we need is more strength and wisdom to deal with unknown challenges. Although Lei Zhen and Dian Wu are mysterious, their strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, I believe in Shen Li's vision. Since she likes them, they must have something worthy of our trust. I am willing to take this risk, because only in this way can we go further."

Mo Fang looked at Shen Xing's determined eyes. Although he had some concerns in his heart, he could only nod in agreement.

He knew Shen Xing's character very well, and once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. Therefore, he could only pray secretly, hoping that the brother and sister were really trustworthy partners as Shen Xing said.

In this way, Shen Xing's team grew again, and their confidence in fighting against the illusion also increased.

Yun Yi stepped forward, with an unquestionable firmness in his steps. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the fog and look directly into the unknown abyss.

"Everyone, listen to me," he said in a deep voice, his voice echoing among the team, carrying an inexplicable power of encouragement, "I, Yun Yi, have been studying this illusion day and night, and I know it is profound and unfathomable. The five layers of illusion mentioned by the spirit world are just the tip of the iceberg. It has the ability to evolve on its own. Every time you step into it, it may be a new challenge."

When everyone heard this, their expressions froze, with awe and expectation in their eyes.

Shen Xing even took a step forward, patted Yun Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Yun is indeed knowledgeable. With you here, our trip will be much smoother."

Yun Yi smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with confidence, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Shen. However, this first level of 'Heart of the Mist' is not an ordinary place. Next, we will pass through a seemingly ordinary stone door, but what is hidden behind the door is endless fog and unknown."

As Yun Yi was about to step towards the mysterious stone door, the atmosphere in the team suddenly became subtle. Dianwu, the lively and curious girl, frowned and asked everyone a question with a confused look on her face:

"Hey, what are the rules if we really need to abandon the game? My brother, um... As for his strength, everyone knows it. If we really need to abandon the game, we have to be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhen raised a teasing smile. He gently patted Dian Wu's head and said in a deliberately exaggerated tone:

"Oh, my silly sister, why are you suddenly concerned about giving up the game? Are you too unconfident in me? But then again, giving up the game is just admitting defeat and leaving. What's so complicated about it?"

"Humph, that's easy for you to say!" Dian Wu glared at Lei Zhen in dissatisfaction and retorted, "This is not as simple as just admitting defeat and leaving. I heard that the rules of the game in the illusion are very complicated. If you make a mistake, you might get into some trouble."

The two of them argued back and forth, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. At this moment, Yun Yi coughed lightly, his voice was steady and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Regarding the rules for abandoning the game," Yun Yi spoke slowly, his eyes sweeping over everyone, especially stopping at Dian Wu and Lei Zhen, "I must make it clear to you that in this fantasy world, abandoning the game is not a joke. According to the rules, you must personally wipe off the name tag on your wrist and report to the referee or designated official personnel before it can be considered an official abandonment. Any attempt to evade the game by other means will be considered a violation and may be severely punished."

At this point, Yun Yi paused slightly, his eyes became unusually serious, "So, I hope everyone can take this game seriously. Whether you choose to continue fighting or give up, you must act according to the rules and don't act rashly."

After listening to Yun Yi's explanation, Dian Wu and Lei Zhen fell into deep thought.

Everyone in the team deeply felt the complexity and danger of this fantasy journey.

Although Dianwu and Lei Zhen had been arguing about the possibility of withdrawing from the competition, they both realized at this moment that no matter what difficulties they faced, they should go all out instead of giving up easily.

"Yun Yi is right. Now that we are here, we must try our best and not give up easily."

Dianwu was the first to express her opinion, with determination and resolve in her eyes. Lei Zhen also nodded. Although he usually liked to joke, he also showed his responsibility and courage at the critical moment. "That's right, we brothers and sisters will not be deserters. We will go to the end of this fantasy journey together!"

"It would be best if we take care of each other and advance together. If someone is secretly doing something bad, the competition inspectors from the spirit world will also find out." Mo Fang's slightly suspicious eyes swept between the brother and sister who used lightning technology.

"This means that we cannot be eliminated." Shen Li crossed her arms across her chest, obviously not caring about the rules. "Rules are for people who don't follow them. If we compete seriously, we won't break the rules, and there's no need for the competition inspectors to intervene."

Shen Xing also nodded and clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Great, you can't cheat, and neither can I. It's fair and reasonable!"

Yun Yi smiled without saying anything, but there was a sense of ease and comfort in his eyes.

In such an environment full of unknowns and dangers, it is undoubtedly a great fortune to have such a group of like-minded partners.

In this way, in the illusion, everyone stands on the same starting line.

Whether you are a powerful master or a rookie, you must follow the same rules and rely on your own wisdom and courage to face challenges. Such rules not only ensure the fairness of the competition, but also inspire everyone's inner fighting spirit and potential.

"The stone gate is just ahead." Shen Xing was the first to discover the stone gate that looked quite old not far away. "If you hadn't told me it was an illusion, I would have really thought I was in ancient times."
