While holding the humanoid monster by its fur, Mo Shuwan immediately looked around. If this game world really followed the rules, then after she killed the humanoid monster, it would surely grant her a chance to live.

Gradually, the flames engulfed the humanoid monster completely. The flames, which could not be extinguished, caused the humanoid monster to roar. It summoned white mist, but the white mist was burned away by the raging fire as it approached.

Because they were so close, Mo Shuwan saw some of the white mist that had been burned by the flames drift down to her eyes. She frowned, stared at the drifting mist for a moment, and then suddenly felt a jolt in her heart. She immediately used the hand holding the bow to catch some of the mist.

"insect?"

Looking at the charred insect in her hand, Mo Shuwan was stunned for a moment before suddenly looking at the white mist that was still surging toward the monsters, and goosebumps rose on her back.

These white mists are actually made entirely of insects?!

Disgusted, Mo Shuwan took out another Flame Card, ready to throw it at the damned insects, when suddenly her expression changed. She looked down at the insects falling in the void, and at this moment the humanoid monster had been burned to a crisp. It collapsed, shaking the hall again.

Mo Shuwan was nearly shaken off.

The fact that the humanoid monster stopped moving gave her a chance. She carefully grabbed the few remaining hairs on the humanoid monster and slid down. She was only half a step away from the bottomless pit below. Instead of testing whether she could stand on solid ground, Mo Shuwan bent down and stretched out a finger, clearly aiming at the charred insect in her line of sight.

The insect did not fall into the giant pit because of her exertion.

Mo Shuwan's eyes lit up, and she immediately threw the Flame Card in her hand towards the swarm of white mist. Watching the insects fall one by one, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. By this time, the humanoid monster had been almost completely burned, and only the spot where she was standing remained unaffected.

Originally, she wanted to observe more before taking action, but when Mo Shuwan turned her head and saw that the humanoid monster's ashes were falling down, she knew that there was no time and she had to make a decision immediately. This place could not accommodate the humanoid monster that had turned to ashes.

"I took the gamble."

As the flames reached her, Mo Shuwan released her grip and leaped towards the pile of charred insect corpses. As expected, she didn't fall. These insect corpses were indeed the passengers' only chance of survival.

Not far ahead was the gate leading to the third small checkpoint. Mo Shuwan glanced at it and then looked away, turning to face another gate that was over a hundred meters long. It was from there that she had slipped and fallen and been captured by the monster. Now she naturally had to go back and do her best to earn as many points as possible.

White mist filled the entire hall, so Mo Shuwan didn't have to worry about not having enough insects. Besides, these insects were part of a side quest, and her defensive talismans were always active, preventing the insects from getting in. Those nearby were burned by the flame cards, and those further away were held back by arrows. Countless insects fell down like rain.

An hour later, Mo Shuwan finally returned to the only place where she could stand. After waiting for about five seconds, the two stones that had disappeared because of her choice reappeared in her sight.

Your survival rate is 98%.

Your luck value is one percent.

Your health and stamina are both at 96%.

These data points had been fluctuating since the beginning. Mo Shuwan looked away, watching the two phantom objects slowly approaching her. She took a deep breath and reached out to select the first one.

...

After sending the message to Mo Shuwan, Wen Zuo didn't linger for long before pushing open the door and entering the second level. He hoped to pass the level as soon as possible, so that he could have more experience and make things easier for everyone.

Wen Zuo chose the third stone phantom.

Whoosh—

The sound of flowing water rang in his ears, but Wen Zuo's expression remained unchanged as he stood there waiting for the real enemy of this level. However, to his surprise, the enemy did not appear. Instead, two huge stone slabs appeared in his line of sight, with black characters gradually emerging on them.

"Want to get through safely? Just make one choice, and you can leave here."

After Wen Zuo finished reading, the words disappeared, and the next moment, images appeared on the two stone slabs, and even the sounds could be clearly heard.

"Ah!!! Let me go!!! Let me go!!! I don't want to die!!!"

On the first stone slab, a man was grabbed by a shadowy figure and pressed back to where he had been. The man was unable to move and screamed in pain, hoping that someone would hear his cries for help and let him escape from danger. But his cries were obviously in vain, as the monsters singing songs excitedly pounced on him.

Monsters used their fingernails to pry open the man's skull, buried their faces in it, and sucked out his brains. Monsters bit open the man's wrists and greedily drank his blood. Monsters cut open the man's flesh and chopped his bones out of his body. The man was still alive. He felt his pain and his despair. He began to beg the monsters for mercy.

Wen Zuo's face was grim.

On the second stone slab, a little girl in a dress pinned a distraught passenger to the ground and gouged out his eyes. She laughed, "Little brother, I'll use your eyes to make candied hawthorns, okay?"

"Please, let me go. I'll give you anything. I just want to live."

"I only want candied hawthorns. You don't have any candied hawthorns anymore, so I don't want you anymore." The little girl ruthlessly threw the blind passenger into the darkness. The monsters that had been waiting for a long time swarmed forward, and their shrill screams echoed in Wen Zuo's ears.

Please select.

"What to choose?"

'You can choose who lives.'

Wen Zuo remained silent.

Recalling all the information he had recorded about the game world, Wen Zuo's expression darkened. He saw a countdown on both stone slabs, with only thirty seconds left. He had to make a choice within those thirty seconds, but no matter who he chose, the fates of the two passengers in the scene would befall him.

"If the game gives you a choice to select one person to live, remember not to choose either. Because no matter who you choose, what happens to the other person will happen to you, and you can't stop it. Of course, I don't know the consequences of not choosing anyone. This is something I heard from a pervert; believe it or not."

He didn't actually see this message in a helpful post; rather, he accidentally clicked into a gossip post and happened to see it. He never expected to encounter this multiple-choice question just as he was about to start the task.

With only fifteen seconds left on the countdown, Wen Zuo stood silently in place, offering no response even as the countdown ended.

'Game lost'
