Seeing that Yan Qing had chosen the group with the fewest people, the fat man, the arrogant man let out a cold laugh.

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Although the others didn't know what grudge the two had against each other, they all tacitly chose the remaining two.

It wasn't until everyone had made their choices that Yan Qing realized she was the last person to choose the fat man.

The fat man gave her a somewhat resentful look. If it weren't for her, there would probably have been a few more people who chose him. But now, everyone had gone to the remaining two.

Looking at the mere seven people behind him, and then at the long lines behind the other two, the fat man felt an urge to look up to the sky and sigh.

He'd only run the dungeon once, and it was a beginner-level one-star dungeon. It took him over ten days to finally clear it. This time, he'd originally wanted to team up with a strong player, but it seemed like fate was really against him. Look at the kind of people he's surrounded by!

The only woman was a woman with a family, and the other six men were obviously just there to make up the numbers. Why was Xiao Shuo so unlucky?

"Alright, everyone quiet!"

The woman's voice came from ahead. Although the volume was not loud, it was clearly audible to everyone.

This woman is no ordinary person; everyone agrees that she is. Immediately, everyone fell silent; the only sound in the square was the gentle murmur of breathing.

The woman pointed to the iron chain bridge behind her. "See that? This iron bridge is the only way to Wenshan Sanatorium. Now, everyone, line up and cross the bridge in your respective queues."

“You—” she pointed at the fat man’s head first, “You go first, and the others follow.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man turned ashen-faced. His entire body began to tremble uncontrollably. After a final glance at the pitiful few people behind him, he gritted his teeth and walked toward the iron chain bridge.

The people behind him weren't much better off. After all, the "elimination" that woman mentioned was definitely not a normal elimination; it probably meant losing their lives directly.

So despite everyone's great fear and anxiety, they eventually managed to slowly move onto the chain bridge.

Yan Qing was the last one. She had already started packing her luggage long before the fat man started moving—oh, no, she was packing Xiao Tao onto herself.

"Xiao Tao, next I'm going to tie you to my body just like big brother. Don't be afraid, big sister will protect you."

Xiao Tao obediently let her do as she pleased. After thinking for a moment, Yan Qing finally tied Xiao Tao to her front. Xiao Tao was small, so it wouldn't obstruct her view, and it would also make it easier for her to protect her this way.

After everything was ready, Yan Qing stepped onto the iron chain bridge.

The moment Yan Qing took her first step onto the chain bridge, she sensed something was wrong. She clearly saw a chain bridge, but the sensation under her feet was that of a flat road.

It turns out that it was all a smokescreen; there was no huge iron chain at all. It was just a little trick by Wenshan Sanatorium.

The road didn't seem very long, only about two hundred meters, and she quickly reached its end. The thick fog finally dissipated, and a huge white building stood before her.

A huge golden door stood in front of the building, tightly shut. The people in front of her, including the fat man who seemed to be the leader, stood in a row before the door.

Yan Qing walked over and stood at the back of the line.

Perhaps because they had crossed that terrifying chain bridge together, everyone seemed much more lively. Before the others arrived, the fat man gave a friendly self-introduction to everyone.

"We're all comrades in arms now, so let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Shuo. I've only cleared one dungeon so far, so I hope you veterans won't mind!"

Fatty Xiao Shuo scratched his head sheepishly and lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

After he started, the others followed suit and began introducing themselves. The second person to introduce himself was a skinny, gaunt man.

"My name is Meng Fan, and I've cleared one instance."

"My name is Sun Rui, and I've cleared one instance."

"My name is..."

After a series of introductions, Yan Qing was the one with the biggest headache. She never expected that she would become the person who had gone through the dungeon the most times among these people.

“My name is Yan Qing, and his name is Yue Qi. We have both just completed two dungeons.”

Yan Qing spoke calmly, but to others, it sounded like she was hiding something. Fatty Xiao Shuo's reaction was the most obvious; his eyes practically lit up!

"I didn't realize you were so amazing, Yan Qing! By the way, what star rating was your second dungeon?"

The others also became interested, and everyone turned to look at Yan Qing, eagerly awaiting her answer.

Yan Qing remained calm as always, "It's just two low-level dungeons, the only two-star dungeon, and my companion is in this state."

Yue Qi, who was on her back, remained unconscious, which had piqued everyone's curiosity for some time. So, it turns out this happened in a dungeon?

"My God! Is the second-star dungeon in the World of Rules and Strange Tales really that powerful? By the way, Yan Qing, how did you manage to get through it?" Skinny Sun Rui asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

Yan Qing knew what they wanted to hear, but she didn't have that kind of self-sacrificing spirit. After hearing what the skinny Zheng Rui said, she just smiled and didn't reply.

"Tch—!" Skinny Zheng Rui awkwardly stood aside. This Yan Qing probably wasn't anything special, otherwise why would her partner be unconscious?
