Chapter 808

Chapter 808 Fourth Layer Emrys reached the conspicuous red line marked with ‘Four‘ and abruptly stopped. He didn’t immediately cross over.

Seeing Emrys halt, Cameron inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

I had actually thought this kid was extraordinarily brave, but it turns out he’s just a coward. Good thing I didn’t concede before the competition, I’ve managed to save face, haven’t I?

“Haha, scared, kid? If you’re afraid, you can admit defeat. I won’t laugh at you. Of course, if you feel ashamed to admit defeat, I can do you a favor and call it a draw, how about it?”

Cameron seized the opportunity to throw back Emrys‘ earlier taunts and graciously offered to accept a tie.

Emrys snapped back to reality and chuckled lightly.

He wasn’t scared, not in the slightest. Instead, he felt a distinct call from the depths of the Thundercloud Marsh, stirring a sense of excitement within him. He was simply trying to calm his racing heart.

After calming his emotions, Emrys stepped forward without looking back.

Cameron’s smile froze.

He had been thinking of negotiating a tie with Emrys to save both their faces. But just as he finished speaking, Emrys’entered the fourth layer.

This was incredibly awkward!

The onlooking students around them, who were there for the spectacle, began to stir with excitement.

Just a moment ago, it seemed as if the two were headed for a draw, which would have made the competition utterly pointless. The first three layers were hardly worth watching, as anyone in the Foundation Stage could easily breeze through them.

It wasn’t until they saw Emrys enter the fourth layer that they became interested.

“He’s going in, he’s going in!”

“Come on, Cameron. This is the moment to test your courage and luck.”

“Cameron, I’ve gathered all our classmates. You absolutely cannot let us down!”

“Don’t back down, just do it!”

Cameron was in extreme distress.

Seeing Emrys turn around in the fourth layer and look at him with a mocking expression made Cameron even more uncomfortable.

He believed that it was just a pure stroke of luck on Emrys‘ side.

Cameron decided to take a gamble. With a determined heart, he also entered the fourth layer.

The pressure was mounting!

It was much stronger than the third layer but still within Cameron’s tolerance.

He wasn’t afraid of the thunder and lightning power here but was afraid of being struck by lightning.

Emrys glanced at him approvingly. “You’re not bad!”

“Ha, of course. Why would I be afraid of you? Let’s see who has the guts to stay on this fourth layer the longest,” Cameron retorted, refusing to show any signs of weakness.

The longer one stayed in the fourth layer, the greater the chance of encountering lightning.

“Then you should just stay here!” Emrys suddenly said cryptically, then boldly headed toward the fifth layer without any concern about being struck by lightning.

Cameron couldn’t help but shiver.

Is this young man preparing to enter the fifth layer? Impossible.

While occasional lightning strikes were unpredictable on the fourth layer, on the fifth layer, the number of lightning strikes would reach dozens.

The probability of being struck increased significantly.

Some brave students would occasionally venture into the fourth layer, thinking they were lucky enough not to be struck by lightning. However, those bold enough to show off in the fifth layer were few and far between.

Cameron still found it hard to believe that Emrys had the audacity to venture into the fifth layer.

He vigilantly observed his surroundings.

So far, there had been no lightning strikes near him.

“Since I’m already here, I might as well follow him a bit longer. My luck shouldn’t be that bad.” Cameron comforted himself.

Hearing the cheers and encouragement from the crowd outside, he decided to venture a little further in.

Following Emrys‘ footsteps, he arrived at the red line of the fifth layer, where lightning crackled inside, resembling thick electric serpents writhing wildly.
