“Stop talking.” Felicia patted Nancy’s back lightly, and her voice subconsciously became softer: “Are you feeling better?”

Nancy nodded. If not for the mud covering her face, her face would definitely be very pale.

“Let’s take a break.”

Felicia could not bear to see her like this, so she said, “Sit down, I’ll go look around.”

“Sure.” Nancy nodded her head and said in a weak voice, “Don’t go too far, this is a maze, you can’t walk around casually.”

“Don’t worry.”

Felicia had a good personality and was straightforward.

The four sides of the huge black cloth formed a square, but it was impossible to tell north from south here.

She chose a random direction.

Nancy sat on the ground and looked at Felicia’s back. Her teary eyes were innocent and pitiful.

After turning around a corner, Felicia became all alone.

The black cloth fluttered despite the absence of wind. The curtain gently rolled up. The sound was not loud, but in this strange space, it was abnormally difficult to bear.

The silent Nancy was like a puppet, staring blankly at the black cloth in front of her.

After some time, footsteps came from the right.

Nancy waited for a while and saw Felicia running around the corner.

She shouted breathlessly, “I didn’t see anyone. They’re all gone.”

Nancy said, “This is a maze, it’s normal to get lost.”

Felicia rested her hands on her knees and panted for a while before she said, “You’re not afraid, are you? I just walked around by myself. At first, I didn’t feel anything, but the more I walked, the more uncomfortable I felt. There’s an indescribable pressure here.”

Nancy said, “The black cloth gives people pressure on their senses. It’s normal to feel uncomfortable after looking at it for a long time.”

Felicia straightened her back and said, “You have to follow me closely. The two of us cannot be separated.”

“Mm.” Nancy covered her mouth and coughed lightly.

Felicia lifted the black cloth and glanced at the girl behind her before walking over.

Every time she lifted the black cloth, it made an unbearable sound.

Huge black waves made a sound as they rolled. It was as if they had fallen into a dark abyss, causing people to break down mentally.

Felicia shook her head and pulled her attention back from the black cloth.

The more she paid attention to the black cloth, the more depressed she felt.

“Nancy, do you think we can find the exit if we keep walking like this?”

Nancy said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I’ve never played games before, so I have no clue…”

“It’s okay. I—”

[Ding! All players, please note that one hour has passed. There are still nine hours before the end of the game. All players, please do your best to get through the level. Good luck!]

…

“It’s already been an hour? So fast?” The youth with the headband widened his eyes and asked.

He scratched his head impatiently, “What do you mean, try our best to get through? It even said ‘good luck’, I feel like it’s mocking us.”

The short-haired girl clutched the boy’s sleeve and cried in fear. She was too nervous and afraid.

She had never been so close to death in her life.

Instead of the game’s countdown, this felt more like the countdown to their death.

The old man and young man group was also having a mental breakdown. There were only nine hours left.

They had gained nothing the past hour.

Felicia and Nancy glanced at each other before taking a deep breath and saying, “Let’s go. It seems like there’s no way other than moving forward.”

At that moment, there was a scream from afar.

“What’s that sound?” The short-haired girl jumped into the boy’s arms in fright.

Before the others could react, another scream was heard. Upon closer inspection, it was the scream of an old man.

Felicia said in a solemn voice, “Something happened to the elderly and young man group, we…”

She looked up and saw Nancy staring behind her with trembling eyes. His face, which was covered in mud, was pale.

“What’s wrong?” Felicia took a step forward.

Nancy covered her mouth in shock. She pointed behind Felicia with a finger, indicating for her not to move.

Felicia’s expression changed as she slowly turned her head.

A huge black yak appeared behind her, its huge nostrils blowing hot air onto Felicia’s face.

The unpleasant smell made her sneeze loudly.

“Run!”

With a loud shout, she grabbed Nancy’s hand and rushed into the black cloth.

The other groups also encountered the black yak. The headband youth was so frightened that he fell to the ground uncontrollably.

The middle-aged man reacted quickly and shouted, “Run!”

The young man quickly got up from the ground and ran forward. “F*ck! F*ck! Isn’t this a maze game? Why is there a guardian beast? We’ve been tricked by the game.”

[Ding! Congratulations players for triggering the guardian beast. There are two ways to clear the level. 1. Defeat the guardian beast to obtain the clear route. 2. Rely on luck to find the correct route. Note: Every hour, the guardian beast will appear for ten minutes. After ten minutes, the guardian beast will automatically disappear. Good luck~]

“We really are screwed.”

The headband youth panted as he ran: “This black yak is as tall as a behemoth. How can we, unarmed mortals, defeat it? And what luck? I’ve never won anything with luck.”

Although the middle-aged man was old, his stamina was very good, and their speed was about the same. He glanced at the youth and said, “Then this time, we’ll fight it out with luck.”

On the other side, the short-haired girl and the boy were also fleeing for their lives.

The girl was so frightened that she could only cry. The boy grabbed her hands and ran forward, encouraging her: “It will disappear after ten minutes. Hold on, don’t be afraid!”

“I… ahh.”

The girl’s legs gave way and she fell to the ground. A huge black cloth fluttered in the sky. The black yak’s roar was like a dull thunderclap that shook her heart.

“Quick, get up.”

The boy tried to help her up, but the girl was too weak to stand.

Looking at the black cloth flying in all directions and the black yak rushing over, the boy was so anxious that beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.

“Hurry and get up. The black yak is catching up. Hang in there. We’ll be saved in ten minutes.”

The girl grabbed the boy’s arm tightly and looked behind her in horror, muttering: “It’s catching up, it’s catching up…”

The next moment, her head tilted and she fainted.

The boy hurriedly caught her. At the same time, the black cloth that had just fallen flew up once again, and the black yak crashed into it.

He reacted quickly and pulled the girl away.

Due to inertia, the black yak charged straight ahead. Seizing this opportunity, the boy laboriously carried the girl on his back and ran in another direction.

The black yak suddenly stopped, its bell-like eyes turning as it chased after him again.

On the other side.

“I can’t run anymore. My lungs are about to explode.” Nancy’s face was red and she was starting to feel dizzy.

Although Felicia was also gasping for breath, she was much better than Nancy. Her plump body contained tremendous strength.

She said, “Hold on a little longer. Ten minutes will pass very quickly.”
