Everyone waited for a few more days and finally the second round of trials began.
Above the altar, a faint voice slowly rang out, like a morning bell and an evening drum, striking in everyone's heart.
"Time's up. The second level test begins now."
Everyone held their breath and pricked up their ears, afraid of missing a single word.
"This level is called Ghosts Catching People. Five ghosts will be randomly selected to catch people. When the ghosts get within ten miles of a person, the person will automatically sense the ghosts' location.
The chosen ghosts will retain all their combat power, while the rest will be suppressed by the power of rules and can only flee and not resist.
The test lasts for one day, and as long as you are not caught by the ghost during this period, you will pass the test."
The voice paused briefly before continuing.
“The chosen ghost must capture and kill at least three people to pass the test.
After the assessment begins, if the ghost fails to catch anyone within one stick of incense, it will be killed directly, and the power of rules will choose one person from the remaining people to be the ghost.
The more people a ghost kills, the greater the reward will be at the end of the settlement.
The test will begin after one stick of incense, so please be prepared and avoid the ghosts chasing you."
After hearing the rules, Ghost Blade laughed strangely.
"Ghosts catching people? This test sounds great, I like it! This ghost position belongs to me!"
He seemed to have seen the others trembling in fear under his pursuit, and there was a cruel light in his eyes.
The others frowned in thought, looking at each other vaguely, as if guessing who would get the identity of "ghost".
There is no doubt that as long as the ghost's strength is not particularly weak, becoming a ghost will have the power to crush other people.
Because "people" cannot resist and can only passively escape, when the combat power of ghosts and humans is almost the same, ghosts will have a huge advantage.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion and doubt.
No one knows whether the person standing next to you will become a "human" or a "ghost".
The atmosphere instantly froze to freezing point.
"Heh, the second round of games is still just as boring."
Yao Heng snorted lightly, breaking the silence first, and lazily glanced at the fat bear and the spirit horse behind her.
"Whether you two become humans or ghosts, you must be smart and don't let others kill you so easily."
After saying that, she flashed and left Fat Bear and Spirit Horse behind, disappearing from everyone's sight.
An incense stick of time is not a lot. If you delay any longer, you won’t have time to hide.
The others also started to move, running in all directions and looking for hiding places.
"Spread out first. If you become a ghost, you can focus on taking care of Ghost Blade and Yaoheng's people."
Xue Wuya sent a telepathic message to Meng Wan, then turned into a streak of blood light and fled towards the southwest.
Meng Wan nodded, calmly distanced herself from Xue Wuya, and ran in the opposite direction.
The time of a stick of incense passed quietly.
With the official start of the test, except for the five monks who became "ghosts", the rest were bound by the power of rules and lost all their combat power, leaving them with only the ability to escape.
Meng Wan's figure suddenly stopped, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, her luck was so good that she became a ghost right from the start!
The Heart-Eating Bug also sensed Meng Wan's identity and couldn't help but rejoice, "Master, that's great! Now that you've become a ghost, you can take this opportunity to get rid of Xue Wuya!"
Meng Wan's lips curled up into a playful smile, "No hurry, first help me sense if there are other people nearby."
Upon hearing this, the Heart-Eating Bug immediately took action. After a while, it sensed two waves of emotions that were both tense and fearful, and couldn't help but speak excitedly.
"Master, I found them. There are two people hiding not far behind you!"
Meng Wan chuckled, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she turned and flew towards the direction sensed by the Heart-Eating Bug.
In the dense jungle, two fugitives were hiding shivering in a tree hole.
They tried their best to suppress their breath, for fear of being discovered by ghosts.
However, what the two did not know was that their emotions had already betrayed them.
Meng Wan approached silently, and the dream of a sea of blood spread out under her feet, drowning the two of them like a tide.
As soon as the two of them sensed the approach of the ghost, their faces changed slightly and they were about to run away, but they were already enveloped by the illusion and had no way to escape.
Before they could even let out a scream, they were completely trapped in the illusion and forgot to struggle.
Meng Wan put away the dream of the sea of blood, her face expressionless, as if she had just stepped on two bugs to death.
Now that the worry of being wiped out has been resolved, the next step is to find Xue Wuya's location.
Meng Wan took out the pocket sword and carefully sensed it. Seeing that she could not sense the position of the mother sword, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
It seems that Xue Wuya is also on guard against her.
But this did not pose a problem for her. As early as when Xue Wuya escaped, Meng Wan had asked Fat Bear to quietly follow the direction where Xue Wuya was when he was a child.
Although there is a certain distance between Fat Bear and Xue Wuya, their general directions should be similar.
Meng Wan put away the sword, sensed the fat bear's location, and then directly activated the blood escape technique and started on his way.
If you meet someone on the road, just kill them.
Forget about those that are too far away or running too fast.
After all, Meng Wan’s main target was Xue Wuya. She only needed to kill three people to pass the test. The mission had been completed, and she had no interest in wasting time on other people.
While Meng Wan was taking action, the other four ghosts also started the hunting game.
From time to time, screams and whistles could be heard in the silent forest.
The speed of the Blood Escape Technique was extremely fast. An hour later, Meng Wan had already approached Xue Wuya's hiding place.
At the same time, Fat Bear finally found out the approximate location of Xue Wuya.
She let the fat bear come closer, while she hid her body and followed behind from a distance.
The fat bear was tall and looked clumsy, but he was actually very agile and approached Xue Wuya's hiding place silently.
However, just when it approached within ten miles of Xue Wuya, Xue Wuya suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, he suddenly jumped up, turned into a streak of blood light, and fled in the opposite direction.
The fat bear missed his target, stared at the blood light disappearing in the sky for a while, and simply gave up this goal.
At the same time, Meng Wan held her breath, concentrated her whole body's aura, and quietly approached the direction where Xue Wuya fled.
With the help of the Heart-Eating Worm, she maintained a subtle distance between herself and Xue Wuya, just enough to sense his position, while he was unable to detect her presence.
After noticing that Xue Wuya had stopped, Meng Wan's mind moved, and the blood sea dream slowly extended silently towards Xue Wuya.
This process is extremely slow and requires great patience.
If she is not careful, once her methods are discovered by Xue Wuya, all her efforts will be wasted.
