“Go ahead and scream. After venting your anger, continue to find a way out.”

The youth turned his head and said, “Sir, you have such a good attitude.”

The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s not that I have a good mindset, but I can only remain positive. If I die, there’s no one to care for my family, so I have to work hard to survive.”

The young man placed his hands behind his head. “Although I have no children, I still have parents. If I die here, my parents won’t have anyone to support them.”

“Then work your best and find a way out.”

The middle-aged man reached out with his hand while the young man grabbed it and sat up.

He put the headband back on and roared as if he was venting his anger, “I’m going to fight it out with this place!”

…

Not long after Nancy left, she heard Felicia calling her name.

She stopped and shouted back.

The black cloth was lifted with a flapping sound, and Felicia rushed out from the right side with a face covered in sweat.

“God, I’m so glad you’re okay.”

She held Nancy’s shoulders and scanned her body a few times. After confirming that she was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“You scared me to death. I only realized that the black yak wasn’t chasing me after running a long distance away, so I quickly ran back. Fortunately, you’re fine.”

Nancy said apologetically, “Sorry for worrying you. When I saw the black yak chasing me, I lifted the black cloth to block it and ran around randomly.”

Felicia smiled and patted her shoulder: “Not bad, you’re quite smart. You’re very impressive.”

Nancy replied shyly, “What’s truly impressive is that you found me in the maze.”

Felicia’s expression froze for a moment before a trace of uneasiness flashed through her eyes. She laughed out loud and said, “I was just walking around randomly as I tried my luck, haha.”

Nancy pursed her lips and smiled: “Looks like we’re both lucky to not have gotten lost.”

“Okay, okay.”

“It’s just that…” The weak girl looked sad and said in a delicate voice,” Something must have happened to the young man and old man’s group…”

The screams earlier were truly frightening and the chances of survival were slim.

Felicia frowned as she said: “To put it nicely, this game is made by the Gods. To put it more frighteningly, it’s a game of real life and death. If you lose, you won’t return to the city alive. If you get injured, you won’t have a medical kit.”

Nancy’s pale face turned even paler. She said in a sad tone, “The next time the guardian beast appears, I might be the one to die.”

“That won’t happen. Let’s take this hour to think of a way to subdue it the next time it appears. We’ll be able to preserve our lives and obtain clues to clear the level.”

“Mm.” Nancy pursed her lips and nodded.

The appearance of the guardian beast was too sudden. For the next hour, everyone was like birds startled by the twang of a bowstring, often frightened by their own movements.

This was especially so for the short-haired girl’s group. The boy’s emotions were relatively stable, but there were several large and small wounds on his arms.

He had been wounded by the horns when he was carrying the girl to avoid the black yak.

Fortunately, he trained diligently and his legs were nimble. Otherwise, he would have become a corpse under the hooves of the yak.

He took off his jacket and pressed hard to stop the bleeding. He raised his head, looked at the girl who was squatting on the ground and sobbing and said: “Don’t cry anymore. It’s no use crying now.”

She had not stopped crying since she woke up. Upon hearing this, her sobbing became louder.

The boy was extremely patient. He said gently, “Before the game ends, the guardian beast will appear nine more times. We have to quickly think of a way to defeat it. Otherwise, even if we manage to dodge the guardian beast, we will still lose the game once the time is up.”

The short-haired girl wailed, “What can we do? It’s so big. We don’t even have a weapon. How can we defeat it with our bare hands?”

The boy said, “The judge said that as long as we defeat the guardian beast, we will be able to get the clearance clue. In other words, the guardian beast can be defeated. We don’t have weapons, so we have to be smart.”

The short-haired girl raised her teary face and hurriedly said, “Then have you thought of a solution?”

“Not yet, but we have an hour to think.”

Disappointment flashed across the short-haired girl’s face when she heard this. She said, “My mind is in a mess right now. I can’t think calmly at all.”

“If you want to live here, you must force yourself to calm down.”

The boy removed his shirt. The wound on his arm was no longer bleeding. He put his filthy coat back on.

He walked over to the girl and extended his hand. “Get up. Our chances of survival will be reduced if we delay here for even a minute.”

The short-haired girl blinked her teary eyelashes and slowly reached out to hold his hand.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew from somewhere. The black cloth fluttered and brushed past the side of her face, causing the girl to scream as she hugged the boy.

The boy felt his scalp go numb as well. The black cloth was clearly not aggressive at the moment. It was very ordinary, but it made him fearful from the bottom of his heart.

The wide cloth fell from the sky like a waterfall. It was everywhere in sight, and the more they stared at it, the more terrified they became.

It was as if they were enveloped by cloth, forever under its control. The more terrified they were, the more suffocated they felt.

He quickly looked away, distracting himself from looking at them. He said to the girl: “Don’t look, if you focus on finding your way out, you won’t be so scared.”

The girl nodded nervously and slowly withdrew from the boy’s embrace. She sobbed while saying: “Thank you, I really don’t know what I would have done without you. I guess I would have been scared to death.”

The boy patted her back. “We should help each other and try to survive together.”

The girl wiped her tears while saying, “Yes, let’s go. Don’t waste any more time because of me.”

It was probably because they were tense and focused on finding a way to clear the level that time passed exceptionally quickly.

Soon, the judge’s voice was heard again.

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

As the wind blew, the huge cloth fluttered.

The dark color was like a group of demons dancing, and it was extremely oppressive and strange in the eyes of people.

The whole world turned to cloth. They were trapped inside, never to find a way out.

The suffocating feeling made people unable to breathe. The players hurriedly covered their faces and tried not to look.

The earth shook as the guardian beast appeared again.

The players widened their eyes. It was not the black yak, but a deer with rabbit ears.

It had a pointy face and two large green eyes that were emitting a cold light. Its size was comparable to the black yak.

The situation was critical, they could not think too much.

“Sir!”

The headband youth shouted and rushed into the black cloth with the middle-aged man.

The black cloth was lifted before it fell again, the two of them were very fast in moving around.

Although the guardian beast was huge, it was not as agile as the humans. It only knew how to charge around.

Its cumbersome body stepped into the black cloth and charged forward with brute force.

The black cloth was torn and ruined by the beast.

The headband youth looked behind him and shouted while sweating, “Sir, get ready.”

The middle-aged man immediately understood and grabbed the corner of the black cloth, waiting for the guardian beast to charge over.
