"Thirteen!~"

"My dear husband's little gourd is so clever! It actually counted to thirteen! I'm so happy!~"

"If we keep counting like this, won't my gourd husbands... grow to be more and more numerous?!"

The charming old man with the snake tail, his face flushed with excitement, leaned down and gently kissed the ear of the square-faced doll beneath Li Qingyu.

In that instant, Li Qingyu was still in a state of panic and shock, mixed with a strange excitement.

I can clearly feel it...

The square-faced little baby beneath him felt a burning heat throughout his body after that kiss.

The heat shot straight up to my head.

Even sitting atop his head, as a little red gourd, his bottom felt a bit hot.

The hot water, along with the charming old man, made him stand up again and turn his gaze to the second child's little gourd.

This finally freed Li Qingyu from being forcibly controlled.

My mind and will returned to normal, and I had space to think.

Instead of what he had done before, after counting to three, knowing that something was wrong and feeling flustered, he still counted carefully and meticulously.

In the eyes.

Only those square-faced dolls with serious expressions.

It's as if...

I'm having a terrifying nightmare from which I can't wake up. I feel like something's wrong, but I just can't get out of it.

"one two three...."

Just then.

The little orange gourd next door also started counting loudly.

However, that voice was different from Li Qingyu's clear and articulate pronunciation; it was like that of a naive child, containing a silly connotation.

"seven!!"

Finally, the orange gourd stopped at seven, indicating that the count was complete.

Upon hearing this...

Li Qingyu was suddenly stunned.

Why did he count to thirteen just now?!

How many square-faced babies are there here?!?

Li Qingyu couldn't help but shift his attention back to the little baby beside him.

However, before Li Qingyu could recount the details...

BOOM!!!

The orange gourd, which had just been counted, was suddenly crushed by the delicate hand of the charming old man.

In an instant.

Orange gourd fragments and black juice flowed through the fingers of the charming old man.

Some fragments even flew onto Li Qingyu, allowing him to feel a lingering sensation of coldness and heat.

Unfortunately...

Li Qingyu has no hands; he is merely a gourd, so he cannot reach out and wipe away the fragments on his body.

"You're so clumsy, Second Husband! Your little gourd is so clumsy, you even miscounted it..."

Looking at the charming old man, whose face suddenly twisted into a gloomy expression.

At this moment, Li Qingyu felt a deep-seated horror.

Damn it....

This world... is terrifying!!

So if he had also counted to seven just now, could it be that he was the one who got crushed...?

"Alright, Third Husband, let your little gourd count too!~"

"It really is..."

"Why is everyone counting differently...?"

Li Qingyu only breathed a sigh of relief when the charming old man's face returned to normal and he looked at the next little child with a light smile.

If the body at this moment were not a gourd.

Li Qingyu was certain that he was terrified and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Li Qingyu now has serious doubts...

Even a handsome guy as awesome as him lives in such fear, how can the contestants from other civilizations possibly survive?

Or is it...?

The difficulty skyrocketed because he didn't use the designated card? This perfectly corresponds to the warning from the joint system... extremely, extremely, extremely dangerous?

................................................

Mist swirled among the mountains.

From a distance, it looks like a traditional Chinese landscape painting, full of freehand and ethereal charm.

But strangely...

In a corner of this landscape painting, nestled in a mountain stream, stands a striking red house.

The eaves are slightly dark and bluish, paired with a large red wall that looks like it has just been painted, a semi-circular wooden door that touches the ground, and extremely symmetrical diamond-shaped window sills on both sides.

This red house looks like a sinister smiling face.

Nestled among the mountains, it silently observes everything, silently mocks everything.

Suddenly.

Below the two bright white diamond-shaped window sills, the lights came on.

Those were two strings...

Lanterns gleaming with a faint glow.

The lantern on the left is pale, with the character "奠" (meaning "offering" or "condolence") written on its surface.

The lantern on the right is bright red, with the character "囍" (double happiness) written on it.

The lighting of these two strings of lanterns was like two strings of tears under the eyes, instantly turning the smiling face into a sorrowful cry.

It also makes this red house...

What was once festive has become much more sinister and terrifying.

a long time.

A group of five beings who resembled humans slowly pushed open the door and stepped out of the red house.

One in front.

Dressed in a simple white training uniform, with a robust physique and tall frame, he walked barefoot on the bluestone steps in front of the red house, causing the steps to crack slightly...

The others were all dressed in light blue training uniforms.

Although he doesn't look as fierce as the first one, judging by his physique alone, he's no pushover either.

The reason it resembles a human, but is not a human, is because it is human-like.

That's because...

The heads of these five muscular men are all eggs, white eggs!
