It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Everyone looked up at the magnificent mirror, which reflected the vast and boundless maze-like world beneath their feet.

The shock and disbelief made everyone marvel at the miracles under the sky.

The bearded man glanced at them coldly, already accustomed to their surprise. His voice was low and serious: "My name is Fang Tuo. I suggest you get into the game quickly. Monster Night won't stop just because you're curious."

He paused. "This is an endless slaughter. If we don't cooperate, we will all die here, without exception."

Xiao Huai's gaze was calm and sharp as he fell on Fang Tuo. "You are very familiar with this place. It seems you have experienced Monster Night more than once."

The implication of this made everyone start to think about what Fang Tuo meant by "cooperation".

When he talked about cooperation, did he mean mutual support, or was he unilaterally exploiting these newcomers?

If Fang Tuo is so familiar with this environment, does it also mean that he is using others to complete his tasks, just like Fan Xuming in the first level?

Not only that, from the moment Fang Tuo came out, Xiao Huai had already keenly sensed the strong bloody smell on his body, mixed with the smell of human blood, as if it was seeping out from deep inside.

After hearing this, Fang Tuo's expression remained unchanged as he slowly approached Xiao Huai.

His steps were steady. He was a big man himself, and when he walked over, he couldn't help but bring an irresistible sense of oppression. The people around him couldn't help but hold their breath, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Fang Tuo's eyes were fearless, and his tone was filled with disdain: "Of course I have experienced more than one monster night, and I have killed people with my own hands more than once."

"Do you know why?"

He paused for a moment before speaking the next words: "Because they have all become one of the monsters."

He swept a cold gaze over everyone. "Cooperate with me because I don't want you to switch sides with the enemy so quickly. Don't increase the difficulty of the maze. You must understand that the maze changes every night. No one knows what it will become in the next second."

After hearing this, Xiao Huai curled up the corners of his lips into a faint smile.

The others all showed expressions of surprise and confusion, and one couldn't help but ask, "The maze changes every night? What does that mean?"

Before he finished speaking, the lights around him suddenly went out and the entire space fell into deep darkness.

In the silence, a hint of nervousness flashed across Fang Tuo's face, his brows furrowed, and he quickly whispered an order to his team members: "Fire."

The fire gradually lit up, and the faint light illuminated the anxiety and fear on everyone's faces more clearly.

Fang Tuo said in a deep voice: "Monster Night...is here."

Those who were armed held their blades and sticks tightly, their eyes fixed on their surroundings.

But some people had no fighting ability and could only look up at the huge mirror above their heads with fear in their eyes.

The mirror in the sky reflected their fears clearly, and at the same time, they noticed countless points of light emerging from the darkness on all sides.

This light spot doesn't look like a flashlight, but more like the eyes of a wild animal foraging at night.

"What is that?" someone asked in a trembling voice.

Fang Tuo didn't answer, but glanced around with a serious look, "Don't distract your attention."

The surrounding flames began to flicker, and those cold spots of light were approaching, more and more, as if they would pounce on us at the next moment.

In contrast, Xiao Huai's calmness seemed particularly abrupt.

He completely ignored the tense atmosphere around him, just took Lu Yuanshi's hand and walked straight to the other side of the maze.

When the people around him saw him leaving, they couldn't help but scream, "Hey! Where are you going? Are you looking for death?"

Xiao Huai stopped and glanced sideways, "Yes, I'm going to die."

After he finished speaking, he didn't even glance back and continued walking forward.

In the dim firelight, their figures gradually moved away.

Fang Tuo looked coldly at Xiao Huai and Lu Yuan as their backs gradually disappeared into the darkness. He frowned slightly but said nothing.

If two are missing, it’s missing.

He retracted his gaze and said solemnly to his team members and other contestants, "Everyone, stay alert at all times, stay focused, and don't lose your composure."

----

In the darkness, Xiao Huai and Lu Yuanshi walked side by side. The surroundings were so quiet that only their footsteps could be heard, accompanied by the occasional faint growl coming from the distance.

Xiao Huai lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Are you scared?"

Lu Yuanshi did not respond, nor would he respond.

Seeing this, Xiao Huai continued to pull him forward until they were away from the group of people who were nervously preparing for battle and came to an even darker forest.

A huge ancient tree stood before them, with layers of branches and leaves.

Xiao Huai sat down quietly against the tree trunk and motioned Lu Yuanshi to sit down as well.

He didn't light a fire, but just gently turned on a flashlight. The soft light fell around them, dispelling some of the coldness.

Light and shadow swayed on Lu Yuanshi's face, and his white hair flashed with a faint cold light, reflecting his features.

Xiao Huai turned his head to look at him, silently accompanying the silence.

In this silence, Lu Yuanshi's stomach suddenly growled, breaking the silence of the night.

Xiao Huai was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle. A smile gradually blossomed on his face, with a rare sense of ease and joy.

He murmured to himself, "It seems that only in this kind of game can I see your more human side."

Before Xiao Huai's smile faded, he opened the system mall, picked out some simple lunch boxes and bread and handed them to Lu Yuanshi.

After Lu Yuanshi took it, he ate the food clean in one breath without any hesitation.

Xiao Huai was about to pack up when he suddenly noticed Lu Yuanshi's hand reaching out again.

Xiao Huai raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was not full, so he opened the system to buy some more.

However, when his eyes fell on Lu Yuanshi's palm, he found that it was a small candy paper package.

Xiao Huai was stunned for a moment, then his smile deepened: "Do you want some candy?"

As he spoke, he took out a few fruit candies from his pocket and placed them in Lu Yuanshi's hand.

The colorful reflections of the candy wrappers flickered slightly under the flashlight, and Lu Yuanshi's eyes also brightened a little.

Lu Yuanshi carefully peeled off the candy wrapper, but did not put the candy into his mouth. Instead, he turned sideways and handed the candy to Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He looked at Lu Yuan's emotionless eyes, was stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly and took the candy.

The candy wrapper still had the warmth of Lu Yuanshi's palm. Xiao Huai put the candy in his mouth, and the sweetness spread in his mouth, bringing with it a simple and warm breath.

It seemed that at this moment, this night was no longer just a cold survival game, but a tiny and precious warmth between the two.
