Because they understood this, everyone cooperated so readily. After all, having gone through the Devil's Den, the first stage, they had all truly seen that a single mistake here could lead to death.
At this moment, the Thai boxing woman, You Yiku, asked Henry, "Why didn't you let me keep questioning him? Do you know something behind the scenes?"
Henry nodded and replied, "That's right. They won't answer that question of yours, and it's useless to pester them. Actually, in the upcoming beast cage, you don't need to worry about the kilogram bombs exploding."
Henry's words immediately drew the attention of a few people. This was something they hadn't known beforehand.
"In the first stage, you should have all heard them talk about it, right? The full name of this thing is a remote kilogram bomb," Henry explained directly without reservation.
This statement, however, startled a few of them.
"What? You mean they can control whether the bombs on us explode at any time?" You Yiku exclaimed, her tanned face filled with worry.
"Did you discover this during your earlier inspection? Then why didn't you say anything!"
Number two, Ou Qi, questioned Henry. If this were true, it would mean their lives were in someone else's hands, a fact unacceptable to anyone.
The blonde Henry blinked and quickly said, "You've misunderstood. I mean they can control the bomb, but only to turn it on or off, not to detonate it."
"What do you mean?"
The blonde Henry explained, "It means they have installed a detonator and a switch device inside. Only when the switch device is in the 'on' state will the detonator operate normally, meaning it can be set off by others. But if the switch device is in the 'off' state, then even if this bomb were run over by a tank, it wouldn't explode because the materials they used are very special."
Only then did the others vaguely understand what the blonde Henry meant.
"So, you're saying that when we passed the Strange Slope, they turned off the switch device?"
The blonde Henry nodded, "Yes, that's what I mean. And in the upcoming beast cage, they will also turn off the switch device. Otherwise, the blast radius of any single bomb is so large that it could cause a chain reaction, and even if you were strong, you wouldn't be able to escape."
"The true purpose of these bombs should be in the third stage."
The blonde Henry added a sentence, and everyone suddenly understood.
You Yiku took a deep breath and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder I didn't hear any bomb explosions when so many people died passing the Strange Slope."
As they spoke, a magnificent beast arena suddenly appeared before them.
After descending from the second yellow building, they entered a hilly area with uneven terrain. After traversing a small rise, they discovered the beast arena standing on a wide open space.
Judging by its exterior, the entire arena was at least as large as five football fields. The outer walls were built with gray-white bricks, about three to four meters high, and the style was very similar to that of a Roman Coliseum.
Or rather, it was built in imitation of the Roman Coliseum. The entire structure looked magnificent and had a strong visual impact.
At this moment, they suddenly spotted a familiar group ahead.
"Holy crap, it's that pervert!"
The bald man, with nothing else to do, suddenly noticed Li Chonglou behind him and was immediately startled. He quickly turned his head and rushed towards the beast arena with his teammates.
"It's them, and they got here faster than us!" You Yiku, who also recognized them, was somewhat surprised. After all, when they left, the bald man was still blocking their way with his teammates.
Henry and the others were also puzzled. Although they had spent a lot of time navigating the Strange Slope later, they had always believed that even if they weren't the fastest, they wouldn't be far behind.
To their surprise, the team led by the bald man, who had been behind them, was faster.
"Look at his reaction, this guy is indeed a fraud who's all brawn and no brains," the sharp-eyed number three, Guido, observed the bald man's unusual reaction and said contemptuously.
The other three nodded in agreement, clearly endorsing Guido's statement.
Only Li Chonglou felt a pang of embarrassment.
Looking at their reactions, he really wanted to remind them: Play as you like, joke around, but never joke about the bald guy.
This bald man was the strongest person he had encountered since arriving. Although his cultivation realm was not as high as his own, he had at least stepped into the realm, while Henry and the others, although far surpassing ordinary people, had only taken half a step.
In terms of sheer strength, the four of them combined might not be able to defeat the bald man.
Fortunately, they were only boasting verbally and did not directly provoke the bald man in the distance at this moment.
However, their subsequent conversation made Li Chonglou even more worried.
"Do you think we'll meet them in the beast arena later? If I remember correctly, the rules of the beast arena state that the venue changes every half hour."
"Heh, I hope so. At least we have a general understanding of this team's strength, so dealing with them won't be difficult."
"That's hard to say. We don't even know how many teams are left, and the beast arena only has a time limit of one day. Fifteen matches can at most encounter three or four teams."
Except for You Yiku, who remained silent, the other three seemed to have already decided the fate of the bald man's team.
Li Chonglou, standing silently by the side, felt speechless listening to them.
However, to mitigate the risk, Li Chonglou finally interjected.
"If we do meet them later, leave the bald guy to me."
The others immediately nodded. Henry, in particular, said encouragingly, "Although your strength isn't very high, you have the advantage of speed. If you find things going wrong, try to hold him off first, and we'll come to your aid once we finish our fight."
"Okay," Li Chonglou managed a strained smile and nodded.
"Brother Lou, don't worry. If we really meet them, I'll finish my fight as quickly as possible to help you."
You Yiku suddenly spoke up. Although her tone was very sincere, the address "Brother Lou" caused the others to exchange glances.
Henry and the other two looked at the two of them with peculiar expressions. The bewildered You Yiku asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing!"
The three quickly waved their hands, and Li Chonglou, regretting speaking up, quietly quickened his pace.
Brother Bald, good luck. If we really meet, I can't give her a chance to help...
Thus, with their own hidden thoughts, the group entered the beast arena unimpeded.
And the moment they just entered, an iron gate at least four to five meters high behind them suddenly dropped down.
