Yan Yu used a knife to push aside the half-cooked meat beside the fire and said to the people nearby, "You guys, bury the corpses of these strange beasts."
The residual bloody smell on the corpse was too strong, and it would soon attract many other strange beasts. Even those people were stained with a lot of blood, like living bait.
Perhaps the twin brothers had deliberately not dealt with the blood in order to lure more strange beasts to kill.
The few who had survived the ordeal immediately reacted to the news. After thanking Yan Yu one by one, they quickly set about their work. At least, Yan Yu had no intention of testing them for poison, so there was nothing wrong with offering her labor.
In less than ten minutes, thanks to their efforts, the seven or eight corpses of the strange beasts were quickly dealt with, and the bodies of the contestants who died in the poison testing were also buried on the spot. Only three half-dead and unconscious contestants were left. They were undecided for a moment, and their eyes fell on Yan Yu who was leisurely warming herself by the fire.
"Look, what are we going to do with these three?"
When Yan Yu and the others were dealing with the bodies of the strange beasts and contestants, she had already asked those people what they had eaten that caused their death, and she memorized the characteristics of the deadly strange beasts and plants. Of course, she also knew which three different kinds of strange plant roots or fruits the three unconscious people had eaten, and she deliberately left these three kinds of strange plants alone.
"Let's observe first and see if they can wake up on their own."
These three exotic plants are very good for making aphrodisiacs, but it is necessary to observe whether there are any side effects and how long the effects last.
After completing their task, the six rescued people hurried to Yan Yu and surrendered.
"Hello, I'm number 075222. I've awakened my D-rank speed talent. I wonder if I could stay by your side as a vassal? I promise I won't betray you!"
"You only have a D-level talent. Go away. The boss doesn't like you." The other man pushed his shoulder forward and squeezed him away. When he faced Yan Yu, he immediately said attentively: "I am No. 056490. I have awakened a B-level sense of smell talent. Accept me. It will definitely be useful to you!"
"Everyone, make way. I am the nephew of the seventh wife, the lord of Hanji City." Hanji City is one of the four major cities among the ten major forces in the underground city. Hearing the words of the hedgehog-haired man, the other people subconsciously made way.
The hedgehog-haired man chuckled triumphantly. Seeing that he had successfully attracted Yan Yu's attention, he couldn't help but say proudly, "If you can protect me and win this escape game, I will give you 100,000 star coins as a reward."
Yan Yu raised her eyelids, then looked at the next person without much interest: "It's your turn."
The hedgehog-haired man twitched his lips in anger: "Hey, didn't you hear me clearly? I'm the nephew of Mrs. Qit, the lord of Hanji City!"
Yan Yu calmly asked, "So what?"
"Where did you come from? You don't even know the status of Hanji City and its Lord in the underground city!?" Thinking of Yan Yu's fighting ability, the hedgehog-haired man barely suppressed his anxiety. "Whether you know my background or not, that 100,000 star coins reward is a real reward. You won't refuse it, right?"
Coincidentally, Yan Yu was not interested in the background of the hedgehog-headed man, nor was she interested in the reward of 10 star coins. After all, it was impossible for her to stay in this copy for a long time. If these star coins could be exchanged for gold coins in the infinite survival game, she might be a little interested.
Seeing Yan Yu still looking indifferent, the hedgehog-head gritted his teeth and said, "I know some secret information about dungeon and escape games. If you are willing to protect me, I can trade this information with you."
Yan Yu's thoughts moved, but she didn't show any sign on her face.
"Prove your own worth first. I never bring burdens with me."
The battle royale game was already full of dangers, and she didn't want to bring a guy who would hold her back just for some information that she didn't know whether it was true or not.
Hedgehog Head: "My number is 001678. I have awakened the A-level copy talent. I can copy one item of the same level or lower every day."
Yan Yu was now somewhat interested: "Can replicas be distinguished from the originals? Do replicas have an expiration date?"
"Apart from me, no one else can tell the difference. The duration of a replica is related to the level of the original. The higher the level, the shorter the duration. For example, weapons of the same level can only last about an hour at most, while items without a level can last for a day."
Hearing this, this talent is simply beyond belief.
It’s a pity that he participated in a battle royale game, otherwise he would definitely live a good life in the dungeon.
In fact, there was one thing that struck Yan Yu as quite odd. The Hedgehog Head, the previously killed Dong twins, and the tribal leader and his subordinates mentioned by number 002000 as one of the ten great factions—these people were all privileged in the Underground City, thriving even without entering Sky City. So, what had it taken for all of them to enter this life-or-death escape game? Were they willing to become a source of amusement for the Sky City residents?
Perhaps the answer lies in the hidden message mentioned by Hedgehog Head.
After the six people introduced themselves, Yan Yu had a general understanding of them:
No. 075222, flat head, D-level speed talent.
No. 056490, Broken Eyebrow, B-level olfactory talent.
No. 001678, hedgehog head, A-level copy talent.
No. 069911, long face, C-level visual talent.
No. 030003, strong, B-level strength talent.
No. 043755, Silence, B-level shadow talent.
More than half an hour later, one of the unconscious people woke up, and the other two showed signs of poisoning and died not long after.
The lucky contestant who was awake was No. 075117, Mater, who had a D-level mimicry talent.
Yan Yu silently memorized the plant that had knocked the man out, and then collected some of its fruits. These fruits were the culprits that had caused him to be unconscious for an hour. Of course, she also didn't forget to collect some of the other two poisonous plants as a backup.
The hedgehog-haired man leaned forward again: "Where are we going next?"
Yan Yu: "Of course, I have to find some food and drinking water. I can't just wait for the organizers to drop a treasure chest, right?"
The supplies are released every 12 hours, and the specific number of supplies is unknown. The number of items placed in the box is also unknown. Judging from the nature of the escape game organizers, the supplies are definitely far less than the number of participants. After all, what they want to see is the contestants fighting and killing each other to please the audience.
Instead of relying on the conscience of the organizers, it is better to rely on yourself.
Yan Yu has always liked to take the initiative into her own hands.
Hearing Yan Yu's words, the other seven people's expressions changed. They obviously remembered the experience of being forced by the Dong family twins to test poison. They looked at Yan Yu with a little fear in their eyes.
Among these people, only the man with flat teeth had not seen Yan Yu killing the twin brothers. The remaining six were almost all shocked by her decisiveness and ruthlessness in killing.
You know, the Dong twins are both renowned A-rank talents in the dungeon, with combat-focused amplification talents. Their combined strength consistently produces a 1+1 greater than 3. Coupled with their brutal and bloodthirsty personalities, they're perfectly suited to the Battle Royale game, becoming the top seed players in this tournament. Even a small number of people in Sky City have heard of them and placed significant bets on them.
I didn’t expect that such powerful players would all be defeated by Yan Yu. The talent Yan Yu awakened must be S-level combat talent!
Compared with the Sky City, the proportion of awakened people in the dungeon is extremely low. Even if they are awakened, most of them are low-level talents below C level. Those with A-level talents can be called the pride of the dungeon, not to mention the extremely rare S-level.
I heard that even in Sky City, the number of awakened S-level powerhouses is only one thousandth, and the number of SS-level powerhouses can be counted on ten fingers. As for the SSS-level, they are even legendary.
Hedgehog Head and others were absolutely certain that Yan Yu must be an S-level combat master. If they followed her, they would definitely be able to obtain the final qualification to enter Sky City.
This was also the reason why they had been vying for Yan Yu's side in the beginning. But who knew that Yan Yu, like the Dong family twins, wanted to use their lives to test the poison...
Seeing how terrified they were about to flee, Yan Yu was speechless. "I didn't say I was going to test the poison on you. There are so many exotic plants and animals in this forest. If they were all poisonous, how did they survive? This proves there are still a lot of non-toxic foods in here. You can find them if you pay more attention."
"Huh, so that's how it is." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then embarrassedly covered up and said, "We didn't misunderstand you. We were just thinking about which way to go next."
Yan Yu saw through it but didn't say it out loud.
"Long Face, Broken Eyebrow, one of you has a gift for vision, and the other has a gift for smell. The task of finding edible exotic animals and plants is now assigned to you."
"Pingtou, you are responsible for reconnaissance, and the others will come with me to hunt exotic animals and plants to earn points."
"Let me be frank. If you want to stay with me, you must prove your worth to me. Otherwise, I don't mind giving you a ride."
Yan Yu's sharp gaze swept over everyone one by one, and his words were even more blunt: "If you want to leave, you can leave now. But if those who stay disobey orders, or simply have second thoughts, then I will personally take action."
Yan Yu's gaze focused on the hedgehog-headed man, which was both a reminder and a warning.
The hedgehog was startled and quickly swore: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely follow you all the time and have no other intentions." He is not a fool, how could he offend such an evil god in a battle royale game?
If it weren't for that incident, he wouldn't have secretly signed up for the escape game, hoping to qualify to go to Sky City and seek his last chance of survival...
With Hedgehog Head taking the lead, the other six people also expressed their loyalty.
Therefore, Yan Yu easily formed a temporary team, and then continued to inquire about all the information about this world without leaving any trace, looking for a way to break the deadlock.
