Chapter 9
Lin Fei's nerves were extremely sensitive and fragile at this moment. He was worried that he would soon follow in the footsteps of the unlucky girl. He was terrified of anyone's actions in the card room.
But it was obvious that in this disunited team, it was not his turn to speak.
Yitu was still thinking about the shop he had set on fire, so he returned the same way holding the large bowl given by Liu the stonemason, and the others also followed him around.
When they returned, the shop had been burned down to only an iron shelf, and the rest had turned to ashes.
Even the coffin was burned up. Yi Tu was relieved to see this.
Although he only caught a glimpse of the contents of the coffin, he still feels a lingering fear.
The hidden danger seemed to have been resolved with the fire, but Yitu did not feel much relieved. He always felt that things were not that simple.
"It can actually be burned..." Fu Xue looked at Yi Tu with a complicated expression.
He was just a newcomer who entered the game for the first time, but he had the courage to destroy the card field and achieve his desired goal.
It's a bit scary.
Just when Yi Tu was about to go over to confirm whether the fly monster was really burned to death, new developments occurred on Huang Tianfang's side.
"Look, there's a chicken coop up ahead!" she shouted. "There are chickens!"
Yitu was stunned. The entire Mengjia Village was deserted. They didn't see any livestock when they came. How could live chickens appear out of nowhere now?
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a chicken coop surrounded by a net next to a yard only twenty or thirty meters away from the shop.
And in this chicken coop, a few free-range chickens poked their heads out from a hole specially dug in the corner of the wall.
“Where did these chickens come from?”
Seeing more and more chickens coming out of the yard, jumping around and filling the entire chicken coop, everyone couldn't understand what was going on.
"It's so weird." Fu Xue couldn't help but mutter.
"Why do you care so much? Just catch one and bleed it, and that'll be it."
Lin Fei was afraid of pain, and he didn't want to be stabbed for no reason: "Do you really want to use your own blood?"
After hearing Lin Fei's words, the others were stunned for a moment but still followed him.
Who would want to get stabbed in the body like that?
Yitu looked at the yard with the closed gate. All the chickens came out from inside, which was very strange.
Before they could pay any more attention, Lin Fei couldn't wait to climb into the chicken coop.
He was quite skilled. After entering the chicken coop, even though chicken feathers were flying everywhere, he was able to catch a big fat rooster with his quick eyes and hands.
"This one is definitely enough to make a bowl of blood, right?" Lin Fei raised the chicken and smiled at them.
Yitu nodded and was about to call him to come out quickly when something else suddenly emerged from the corner of the chicken coop.
He looked over subconsciously and saw a green chicken head covered with bumps sticking out of the hole, looking as creepy as a sinister snake.
It was not until the green rooster completely emerged from inside that they realized that this thing was the green-headed chicken they saw on the grave hill that morning.
I don’t know why this thing appeared here, but Yi Tu had already vaguely guessed that it was probably coming for Lin Fei.
Because, it was the disaster that came from Lin Fei's mouth.
"Lin Fei! There's something behind you!" Yi Tu quickly warned, "Come out!"
Lin Fei, who noticed something was wrong, quickly turned around and saw the green-headed chicken with its eyes shining, standing quietly behind him with its head tilted.
Lin Fei was startled. He was very sensitive to begin with, and when he heard people shouting, he was so scared that his soul almost flew out of his body. He quickly supported himself with the bamboo pole and tried to flip out.
But it was too late. The green-headed chicken suddenly flew up and rushed directly into his face.
In panic, Lin Fei was thrown to the ground, and the green-headed chicken's wings covered his face tightly, grabbing his flesh firmly like a suction cup.
Lin Fei let out a shrill scream until his eyeballs were pecked out by the sharp beak.
The chickens in the chicken coop seemed to be infected. One by one, their eyes turned green. They pounced on the man frantically, gnawing at Lin Fei's flesh and blood as if they were pecking at insects.
At this time, they could no longer hear any cries from Lin Fei, as if he was already dead.
Such a scene was horrifying and terrifying. After a while, Lin Fei's face was the first to be pecked out, revealing the white bones.
Yitu's heart trembled, and he reacted quickly by pulling out the bamboo pole used to secure the chicken coop and whipping it at the possessed chickens.
He didn't have to hit them many times before the chickens came to their senses and scattered, returning to the yard one by one.
The largest green-headed chicken also retracted its wings covering Lin Fei's head, so that Yi Tu could clearly see the round mouths filled with blood under the wings.
When all the chickens left, Lin Fei's battered body lay quietly in the net covered with chicken droppings and chicken feathers.
"Is he dead?" Fu Xue asked in a trembling voice.
Aniu hesitated for a moment, but still took the lead to check Lin Fei's pulse, then slowly shook his head.
"Dead."
Yitu's heart sank; he was still a step too late.
"This is too hard to guard against..." Huang Tianfang muttered to herself in a daze.
Zhang Queshan had a complicated expression: "He must have died a long time ago. He was already dead when that green-headed chicken pecked his eyes."
After all, Lin Fei never made any sound again after his eyes were eaten.
"But he deserves it. He dares to talk nonsense in the card room." Zhang Queshan crossed his arms and said:
"If this kid controls his diet, he can live a little longer."
Huang Tianfang couldn't help but frown: "Everyone is gone, please say less."
What's more, Lin Fei's death was tragic. He was pecked to death by chickens. It is really mean to say something sarcastic now.
Zhang Queshan said nothing more, but followed Aniu into the chicken coop and carried out Lin Fei's body.
Yitu took a quick look and then looked away.
The reason is simple: Lin Fei's death was indeed very tragic.
His face was the most severely pecked, with no eyeballs in his eye sockets, leaving only two bloody holes, which looked extremely creepy.
In places where the flesh is thin, such as the forehead, the bones are exposed, mixed with uneaten meat and blood.
There were countless blood holes on his body, the holes were not big but very dense.
Yitu had the illusion of being pecked at just one glance, which was jarring and shocking.
Now that Lin Fei is dead, he has become the last in the player rankings.
What he didn't expect was that the owner of the card room actually voted for him.
[Number of owners entering the viewing area: 843 (number continues to rise)]
Total number of recommended votes cast: 409
First place: Duan Zixi (144 votes)
Second place: Fu Xue, Aniu (135 votes)
Fourth place: Zhao Haichuan (88 votes)
Fifth place: Zhangqueshan (25 votes)
Sixth place: Huang Tianfang (14 votes)
Seventh place: Yitu (3 votes)
Note: Recommended votes account for 99% of the total. Player rankings will be refreshed after 1 hour and will be consistent with the recommended vote rankings. Please pay attention to the rules of the game and strive to survive!
The number of votes was a little less, but it was no longer zero, although these mere three votes could not change the fact that he was last.
Yitu glanced at the interactive area and found that most of the card room owners were still interested in the gaming CP of Fu Xue and Aniu.
Duan Zixi's halo of being ranked first in the system evaluation was also greatly weakened due to his injury.
It's probably just a matter of time before Fu Xue and Aniu surpass him, unless there are any accidents.
Yitu pondered for a moment and then put away the game cards. There should still be time.
At this time, on the other side, Aniu and Zhang Queshan carried out Lin Fei's body.
They have to complete one last task, drawing blood.
Zhang Queshan took the empty bowl from Yitu and whispered to the corpse, "I'm sorry, brother."
The knife cut Lin Fei's wrist and blood came out. Zhang Queshan received a full bowl of it.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, they had to deliver the blood to Liu the stonemason as soon as possible.
Lin Fei's body could only be brought back for burial, if it was still there at that time.
After the discussion, they prepared to go back, but before they had taken a few steps, they happened to run into Zhao Haichuan who came out to look for them.
Zhao Haichuan saw the bowl of blood in Zhang Queshan's hand and frowned.
"Where's Lin Fei?"
"No, just now."
Yitu turned around and gestured, Lin Fei's body was still lying there quietly.
Zhao Haichuan was a little surprised, but not surprised.
As a newcomer to the card game, Lin Fei has no ability to protect his life and always talks nonsense.
Zhao Haichuan had anticipated his death, but when he heard about it for the first time, he still felt that it happened too quickly.
Yitu briefly recounted what had happened while the two were away, including Lin Fei's death, which he mentioned in just a few words.
"Things involving ghosts and gods are always taboo in the card game, especially when they come from the players themselves, as they are likely to come true."
Zhao Haichuan's expression was complicated. "And this is the first time it's been effective on a player in such a short time."
Lin Fei has always been outspoken. No matter how many times others reminded him, he never took it seriously.
In order to make fun of Ruan Mengmeng, he deliberately said on the grave that seeing a green-headed chicken on the grave would bring bloody disasters. Now his body is lying there.
"There are many taboos in the poker room, and talking nonsense is just one of them."
Yitu frowned, "One of them?"
Zhao Haichuan glanced at him and nodded, "Yes, actually, every card game has different taboos, but things related to ghosts and gods are taboo in most card games."
"This is the most dangerous card game I've ever encountered. The taboos there are: you can't look back, and you can't call your companions' names. If you say or do something wrong, you will die."
Taboos in the card field can be superimposed on each other, and being afraid of ghosts and gods is just one of their most basic precautions.
"Where is Duan Zixi?" Fu Xue suddenly remembered and asked.
Zhao Haichuan came to find them, so Duan Zixi would be left alone, not to mention that he was injured.
"He was more worried about you guys, so he asked me to come back to help."
There are two newcomers in the team who can basically not contribute, but the task assigned by the village chief must be completed.
After all, whether the stone tablet can be completed is directly related to the final village sacrifice of all of them.
The appearance of house numbers is likely related to stone tablets.
Zhao Haichuan went with them to Liu the stonemason's house to see if they could find any information about tomorrow's village festival.
With the hammer and chicken blood, stonemason Liu began to make the stone tablet and told them that it would take some time to complete and asked them all to go back and wait.
At this moment, Judith's tip popped up on Yitu's game card:
[This card game mission has been completed 3/4, and the plot progress is 13%. Please work hard to improve the plot and achieve the house card refresh goal! ]
The author has something to say:
Some readers don't quite understand the concept of levels in the game, so let me explain a few things here.
The ranking is the same as the poker cards we play in real life. After removing the A card, the order is 2 to 10, and the order increases successively, and the last one is J, Q, and K.
In a fixed area (for example, the small map and attack belong to the Huaxia area), players from level 2 to 10 can repeat continuously, but there are only eight people with the identity card J, four with Q, and four with K.
It can be said that these 16 are the supreme gamblers in the area, with the identities corresponding to knight, queen and king.
Also, the spouse binding has nothing to do with the color level, my dears!!!
The color level represents the player's ability, but love is definitely free and not restricted by any conditions.
Unless...the system forces binding, such as the pair of Tsubasa and the King of Spades.
Okay, I've finished talking. If there are still things that you little fools don't understand, there will be a special chapter explaining it later. The setting of this game is actually very complicated. I dare not force it on you all at once, for fear that you will become fat!
Okay, see you tomorrow!
