Chapter 388: The Tricks of the Beast World (1)
Xia Yueke opened her eyes and found that she didn't know where she was. She felt a headache. The last scene in front of her was that she was crossing the road and didn't see the big truck because she was obsessed with her mobile phone. Then she was hit by it. She felt pain all over her body and lost consciousness.
Could it be that I have traveled through time?
Xia Yueke looked at the tall trees around her. It looked like a deep mountain forest. She didn't know where she had traveled to. She looked at her hands and they were still the same as in her previous life.
Just as she was confused, a voice appeared.
[Hello, welcome to the Beast World. You have been chosen because of your physical death. Now you only need to successfully complete five games to return to the real world. Please be prepared.]
The voice came from a void that was difficult to distinguish between male and female. At first glance, it sounded next to me, but when I listened carefully, it seemed to be far away.
Xia Yueke blinked. Beast world? Was it the same as the beast world she had seen in novels? But why did she have a strong feeling that it wasn't like that?
Having traveled to the Beast World, you find yourself in a world rife with danger. Everything here is vastly different from the world you know. To survive, you must strictly adhere to the following eight rules:
[Orc Tribe Survival Guide]
[1. Tribal Taboo: When you first enter an Orcish tribe, pay attention to the giant stone totem at the entrance. If you see a twisted snake-like pattern, do not look directly into the elders' eyes. Looking in on them may result in a curse, plunging you into an endless nightmare.]
[2. Totem Warning: If you see a red handprint on a tree trunk in the forest, do not approach within 50 steps. There is a guardian beast within, and anyone who enters will die.]
[3. Water Crisis: When you find a water source, first observe the surface. If you see black feathers floating on the surface, the water is undrinkable. Drinking it will infect you with a mysterious parasite, causing you to lose your normal sanity and become food for the parasite, a symbiotic relationship between them.]
[4. Danger of the Full Moon: On full moon nights, be sure to hide in a cave and block the entrance with rocks. The full moon will arouse the beastmen's savagery, causing them to attack anyone they see.]
5. Mysterious Footprints: If you see a large, three-toed footprint in the forest, do not follow it. It's a velociraptor's footprint, and trespassing into its territory will lead to death.
6. Fruit identification: Colorful fruits are highly poisonous and will cause bleeding if eaten. Only fruits with a single color and a soft glow should be picked.
[7. Misty Forest: When entering the Misty Forest, you must follow the trees on your left. If you deviate from them, you will be trapped in a maze and unable to escape.]
8. Mysterious Sound: If you hear a melodious flute sound deep in the forest, do not follow it. It is a trap that will confuse you and control you.
As soon as he finished speaking, a black booklet flew into Xia Yueke's hands.
Xia Yueke's hands were shaking a little. So, others traveled through time to fall in love, but she traveled through time to survive?
Before Xia Yuke could cry, the voice continued.
Please follow the above rules and successfully complete the level. Five survivors will join you in the trial. During this process, you may be competitors or collaborators, so please carefully distinguish them. I wish you a pleasant journey in the Beast Tribe.
The sound gradually disappeared, and when Xia Yueke came to her senses, she found that nine people suddenly appeared around her without her knowing when.
The five people looked around, seemingly not understanding where they were.
The five people were dressed in modern clothes just like herself. Xia Yueke's current outfit was the same as before the car accident. She wore a white shirt with a plaid jacket, which was popular in that season, paired with simple jeans, a pair of white sneakers, and a simple shoulder bag.
Among the five, three were men. The one on the far left was a burly man wearing a vest, and the one in the middle was a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head. His pair of green bean-sized eyes flashed with ill intent under the lenses.
The last man was a teenager, looking blankly at everything around him, dressed fashionably in a white shirt and wide-leg black pants.
The two women were a white-collar worker in her thirties, and the other looked like a female college student, with a unique innocence and curiosity in her eyes.
The female college student spoke first, "Did you... hear that voice just now? What's with the idea of following the rules to survive? Isn't that too weird? Were we kidnapped?"
Xia Yuke also felt that this was possible. After all, although she was hit, she should still be able to be rescued.
No matter what, he is lying in the hospital. Of course, there is also the possibility of the morgue, but Xia Yue doesn't want to be so pessimistic.
The female college student's words attracted everyone's attention. Being stared at by so many eyes at once, her face turned red. She said, "Hello, anyway, let's introduce ourselves first. My name is Lin An."
"You can just call me Luo Da." The strong man said.
"Boss Li." It was the middle-aged bald man.
"Aiteng." It was the young man. He glanced around quickly, probably observing the environment again.
"Just call me Sister Zhang. I'm used to people calling me that." The white-collar worker slowly adjusted his hair and didn't seem to be panicked by the situation.
"Xia Yueke."
Seeing that everyone had the same attitude, Xia Yueke also said her name.
Boss Li obviously couldn't accept that he was talking to a client one second and was in the wilderness the next, so he shouted to everyone around, "Who kidnapped me? Do you want money? I have money, as long as you let me go, I can give it to you!"
However, there was no movement around. Boss Li became impatient after waiting for a while and started to rush outside, but he was bounced back as if he had encountered a barrier.
The place where his arm touched the barrier immediately turned red. As Boss Li screamed, his arm began to necrotize rapidly until it finally fell down helplessly.
Boss Li rolled on the ground in pain. When the others saw this scene, they all retreated, but they didn't dare to retreat too far. They could only look around in panic and felt a little afraid of this game.
Until the end, Boss Li took a long time to stand up again. This time he did not move around, but looked around in horror.
Sister Zhang swallowed her saliva and said while looking at the forest in front of her:
"Since the rules say that we can survive in that tribe called the Beast World as long as we follow the rules, then let's go."
Just as everyone was about to lift their feet, they heard a cry of surprise.
"Wait, how about this first? We give everyone ten minutes to memorize the rules. What if we rush in now and encounter something else and no one has time to read the rules?"
Xia Yuke hurriedly tried to stop him. Her memory was not perfect. If they set out now, they might not be able to remember the rules and someone would be eliminated soon.
Everyone else nodded. Sister Zhang was a little surprised. "Such simple eight rules, you haven't memorized them yet, have you?"
She was obviously very confused. Isn't it something that can be memorized at a glance? She had already memorized it long ago.
Lin An looked at her with a dark face. Seeing Sister Zhang's sincere expression, he was speechless for a long time. Is this really the legendary social person? So smart and powerful?
Boss Li glanced at Sister Zhang without saying anything. Instead, he endured the pain in his other hand and silently read the booklet in his hand with his intact hand.
But it's still shaking like a sieve.
While Xia Yueke memorized the rules, she was also very confused. Why was she the only one who showed up early, while everyone else seemed unaware? Was there something she didn't know?
