After ten days of fleeing, all the players who initially joined in just to watch the show and watch the drama unfold all quit and ran away.
The number of players quickly decreased from fifty-seven to twenty-five.
Jin Shangyue glanced at the game and saw that Yu Shiwei's friends were still holding on, but of the seven admirers who followed her into the game, only one remained. So her little group still had six allies left.
Yu Xingze and Yu Xinghai's original nine friends have now been reduced to only four.
They all quit the game instance because they couldn't survive, died in an accident, or had to take emergency evacuation.
Yuan Wan's little gang, excluding her and her brother, had twelve members, but now only six remain.
Although most of the players who quit the game have left, some of them have made other progress.
For example, each small group successfully formed an alliance.
Jinshangyue knew that this game would soon be over.
At night, Yu Xingze, Yu Xinghai, and the other four friends reunited.
Wang Congcong lowered his voice and said, "Everything is ready. Hua Zi also discovered traces of large animals three miles ahead. It's confirmed that there are quite a few of them; they should be a pack of wolves."
“If we scatter the animal blood and flesh we’ve collected over the past few days along the road, we’re sure to attract the wild beasts.”
Minghua was eager to try: "So, are you sure you want to make a move? After tonight, who knows how many more days we'll have to go through before we have a suitable opportunity?"
Jiang Gougou, standing nearby, angrily tugged at her hair: "Let's do it tonight! The sooner we finish, the sooner we can leave this awful place. I've really had enough!"
"If I don't get out soon, I won't be able to hold on any longer. I'm exhausted, dirty, smelly, and disgusting. I've never suffered like this in my entire life!"
A vicious glint flashed in Yu Xingze's eyes: "Damn it!"
Without saying a word, Yu Xinghai crouched down and quietly retreated out of the crowd.
At this point, the fleeing masses dispersed in groups and spent the night sleeping on makeshift beds in the woods.
Although each house is not very close, they are not far either, only about ten meters apart.
While Yu Xingze and his group of six quietly left the crowd in the dark and headed deep into the mountains, Yuan Wan, having left her brother Yuan Xinglu behind, also set off with her other six companions.
However, instead of going to find wild animals, they went to the woods ahead to set a trap, intending to lure Jin Shangyue there and kill her alone.
Anyway, once they get out, they'll just say it was a prank, and that they didn't really kill Jinshangyue, so the adults can't say anything.
The only one to blame is Jin Shangyue herself for being incompetent, allowing them to successfully prank her.
On the other side, Chang Xiling and the others also quietly gathered together, and at the same time, they also called on Yu Shiwei's remaining admirer.
The group tacitly isolated Yu Shiwei from the group, without inviting her along.
After all, their goal was to stand up for Yu Shiwei, teach Jin Shangyue a lesson, and let her know that Yu Shiwei has friends like them protecting her, and is not someone a newcomer like her can bully.
Of course, I wouldn't call on Yu Shiwei, in case Yu Shiwei is soft-hearted.
Even if Yu Shiwei didn't soften her heart and eventually agreed, the banquet outside was being broadcast live.
Yu Shiwei was still living in the Yu family home, so it wasn't appropriate for her to do Jin Shangyue in front of everyone, as it would have a negative impact on her.
It can be said that Yu Shiwei's team members are really thoughtful and considerate.
As the one in charge of the wisdom, Lu Zhu said, "We split into three groups. One group went deep into the forest to spread the powder, another group spread the powder on the broken road, and the third group went to Jinshangyue."
"This will ensure that more wild beasts are attracted. When Jinshangyue is covered in beast-attracting powder, she will definitely be torn apart and eaten by the beasts."
Qi Lili instructed, "Everyone must be fast. There are many wild beasts in the depths. Let Li Xiao and Zhang Xuchao, who are in better physical condition, go."
“I will stop going with Chang Xiling. As for Jin Shangyue, I will leave it to Lu Zhu and Lan Hu.”
"One of you is fast and agile, while the other can keep an eye on things and prevent accidents from happening."
Everyone nodded in agreement: "Alright, let's see if she dies tonight! It'll be funny if she wets her pants after being attacked by a bunch of wild beasts."
The group started laughing and joking, their tone full of schadenfreude and anticipation.
His appalling manner caused Yu Han and his wife at the banquet to turn cold.
Yu Han sneered: "The Qi family and the Lu family really have good family education, raising such vicious next generation. Aren't they afraid of setting themselves on fire? Sooner or later, they'll burn their own families down!"
The Qi and Lu families knew they were in the wrong. Jin Shangyue had been well-behaved the whole way and hadn't provoked their child, but their child insisted on bullying others.
They even concocted a powder to attract wild beasts, intending to have Jin Shangyue surrounded by them.
They even discussed preventing Jin Shangyue from leaving the game on her own after she was surrounded by wild beasts, so that she would experience the taste of death in the game.
Originally, their family didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but they felt that the child was not well-disciplined and that the joke had gone too far.
It's just a game, there's no need to take it so seriously, it's not like anyone will actually die.
But now the children's schemes, ruthlessness, and viciousness are all laid bare before the eyes of powerful and influential families, which makes them feel somewhat ashamed.
Being so blatantly pointed out by Yu Han made them blush with shame, feeling as if they had lost all face and had been slapped in the face silently.
The Chang, Li, and Lan families also lost face, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
Although Grandpa Yu didn't mention their family name, all of their children participated.
Talking about the Lu family and the Qi family is the same as talking about their family; there's no difference, they're both shameful!
The Lu family patriarch and the Lan family patriarch could only laugh it off.
Grandpa Lu: "Lu Zhu is really something, she's too playful. I'll give her a good talking to when she gets out. Even if it's just a game and no one will actually die, she can't go too far."
"Yes, yes, we should have a serious talk. It's just a game, why take it so seriously? Even if no one will actually die, we can't bully Jinshangyue like this. We're all friends, so we should be careful with our jokes." Grandpa Lan chimed in.
But those veiled insults and pointed remarks were just too blatant.
The other participants also laughed awkwardly, repeatedly saying, "Yes, yes, yes..."
Everyone was trying to downplay the situation, clearly intending to make it a game, not a real joke, and to minimize the impact of the situation.
Old Master Yu's temper flared, his face turned ashen, and he was about to lose his temper when Song Mingying stopped him.
However, before Song Mingying could come out to cause trouble, Yu Weilan said in a cold and deep voice.
"The elders are right. It's just a game. Just play around. Even if you go too far, it won't kill anyone. It's just a fake game."
The old men became increasingly embarrassed, each looking at Yu Weilan, somewhat unable to understand his meaning—whether he cared about his daughter Jin Shangyue or not.
But soon, Yu Weilan gave them the answer.
