"Can I not ride the carousel? I want to watch you all play," a middle-aged man said fearfully, "I feel like this carousel seems very dangerous."
So hesitated, afraid to get on the carousel, but were forcibly pushed on by Gou Wa’s people.
Among the thirty-nine people, Gou Wa brought along seven exceptionally robust n, maintaining firm control of the situation.
After sitting on the rry-go-round, Qing Chen discovered that not every horse’s markings were the sa; they alternated with different patterns every few horses.
The horse he sat on had thunder markings on its hooves.
The horse in front of him had cloud markings on its hooves, and the horse to his right in the inner circle also had cloud markings.
The cloud-marked horses and thunder-marked horses interspersed with each other, as if dividing the riders into two factions.
Looking around, Qing Chen saw that Gou Wa and his people were all sitting on cloud-marked horses...
Moreover, Gou Wa’s people were shoving the ’tourists’ onto the carousel, ensuring all tourists were pushed onto cloud-marked horses, leaving only three new tourists confusedly pushed towards the thunder markings.
This was no coincidence; the other party knew the solution to the first level, so they also knew what would happen here, thus choosing the sa pattern.
Qing Chen quietly dismounted his horse and switched to a cloud-marked horse.
Gou Wa glanced at him but said nothing.
After the three tourists sat on the thunder-marked horses.
A girl’s voice, full of youth, asked from within the rry-go-round, "The conditions for the level to start have been t, is everyone ready? It’s about to begin."
Click, click.
With clear gear sounds rotating, the carousel seed to have a chanism continuously shing inside.
In an instant, the horse’s head on the carousel opened up, unexpectedly revealing the handle of a knife.
Qing Chen grabbed and pulled, hearing a clang as a Huren Curved Knife was drawn from the body of the horse.
The old visitors looked on coldly while the new visitors, clueless, held up the knives, not knowing what they were for.
Qing Chen understood, this was not about riding the carousel, but rather fighting on horseback!
The cloud-marked and thunder-marked horses were divided into two factions, continuing until one side was completely eliminated!
Ding-a-ling, crisp music played.
A neon sign outside the carousel suddenly lit up, displaying a countdown of 4:59.
4:58.
4:57.
minutes in total.
A group of adults sat helplessly on black and red horses, waiting nervously. Suddenly, a horse they were riding opened a huge, fanged mouth from the back of its head, ready to consu soone.
A new visitor exclaid in horror, "What’s wrong with this horse? Is it going to eat ?"
With a click, the saddles everyone was standing on suddenly locked, clamping down on their feet, immobilizing them.
"Brother Gou Wa! What do we do?" a newcor asked, voice trembling with tears.
Gou Wa coldly ordered, "Shut up! Close your eyes! Just wait!"
Gradually, the carousel’s spinning speed increased, resembling the pace of a moving train.
Qing Chen realized that technically speaking, the entire amusent park, with its 12 levels, was a large-scale escape room.
The riders on the carousel had to do sothing to prevent them all from dying within 5 minutes!
Many people shut their eyes in fear, hoping for Gou Wa to solve the challenge.
It was well-known that the secretive town knew how to solve the first level, which was why they could survive outside the Taboo Land 001.
The town was ford because soone solved the first level, and upon discovering that they could easily solve it each ti, they could freely collect exotic flora and fauna in the outer areas.
Thus, using the technique to solve the first level as a reliance, this person recruited a group of Wilderness Hunters from the Inner World Black Market to live there.
So, before setting out, the town didn’t disclose the rules to the tourists; they only said, "Just wait for us to clear the level."
Qing Chen did not close his eyes; instead, he looked around first...
At the entrance to the carousel level, there was a roughly 4000 milliliter stone tank, clean yet mysterious in its purpose.
Elsewhere, there were only two fire extinguishers, a trash can, and a visitor suggestion book.
There was nothing else to use.
He then looked at the totem in the center of the carousel.
If every level was essentially an escape room type of ga, then the solution must be within this amusent park.
When the horses started spinning, the totem seed to move too; at first, the images on the totem were disjointed, aningless even.
But as the carousel reached its fastest speed, Qing Chen suddenly saw the images beco coherent.
He waited to see more, but found the images before him gradually blurring, consciousness slipping into an unknown realm.
Qing Chen stood beside a ginkgo tree, this tree resembling very much the one they saw in the Taboo Land.
He watched two people lighting a bonfire not far away.
The chubby one laughed, "What good is being the Qing Clan House Master? It’s not as enjoyable as our immortal lives now, is it?"
The handso young man sitting in the middle glanced at the chubby guy, "Why don’t I let you be the Qing Clan House Master then, and you can stop making sarcastic remarks here."
Qing Chen was stunned.
He had seen this handso young man countless tis... the ancestral figure of the Qing’s Family, Qing Zhen.
In the silver pendant from the Door of Shadow, within the Qing’s internal history, this young man had beco an indelible Chapter in the history of the Inner World.
Moreover, when he saw Qing Zhen, it was as if he was looking at his own reflection in a mirror.
No wonder Lao Shen said it’s too similar.
Qing Chen also has to admit, among the Qing’s Bloodline, he is the one who resembles Qing Zhen the most.
These three people sat under the ginkgo tree, yet they didn’t glance at Qing Chen, as if he didn’t exist.
Strange, did this totem actually pull into a mory? Is this real, or is it fictional?
At this mont, a young man with rimd glasses ca over with a string of fish, saying, "I caught so fish in the river, there’s a hidden spot where the fish are all big and fat, but it’s pitch black inside, I didn’t dare to go in and see what’s there."
"The wine’s all ready, just waiting for your fish!" the chubby man said with a smile.
In the next mont, a young man who looks exactly like Qing Zhen ran over, smiling: "Sorry for being late."
Qing Chen was stunned, how could there be soone who looks exactly like Qing Zhen? Wait a mont, this is Qing Zhen’s bionic body, Qing Shen!
Just like the current Puppeteer Zong Cheng, which is actually just a bionic body of the original Zong Cheng, bionic bodies are cloned by the Tinder Company.
"Have you thought about the rules?" the chubby man asked.
Qing Chen’s heart tightened, did this totem actually provide a direct rule hint?
The third person thought for a mont, suddenly looked at Qing Chen: "There’s only one Guardian Lizard Sculpture in the maze, but if you see two at the sa ti, please don’t drop the Blessing Card into their mouths."
Qing Chen frowned, this contradicts the previous "when the sound of iron strikes, imdiately head to the maze area to drop the Blessing Card into the lizard sculpture’s mouth," no, this should be considered a progressive supplentary rule.
Could another lizard sculpture appear out of nowhere in the maze?
What trouble would arise from dropping the Blessing Card into the mouths of two lizards? Qing Chen felt that not all the rules of the amusent park might be true, even those visitor notices etched on the ginkgo tree could have traps.
At this mont, he heard Gou Wa’s voice from the outside: "Take action!"
Imdiately followed by shouts and screams, Qing Chen saw several of Gou Wa’s n taking advantage of the carousel’s rotation, slashing at the new visitors on the thunder-pattern horses!
With the carousel spinning rapidly, the inner and outer horses passed by each other, Gou Wa’s n seized these monts to slice at the visitors with swords.
The new visitors wailed: "Help! Why are you killing !"
Those three new visitors sitting on the thunder-pattern horses hadn’t even realized they were divided into an opposing faction, which is why Gou Wa and others never introduced the rules to the new visitors.
The carousel requires at least three people per faction to start.
So new visitors were destined from the beginning to be sacrifices in this mounted and slashing ga.
When the three new visitors died, Gou Wa’s face was splattered with blood, appearing particularly sinister.
He looked at everyone, new and old visitors alike: "This must be done."
Qing Chen frowned, if this thod of violently passing through was feasible, the Federal Group army would have done it long ago, instead of these small-town residents picking up leftovers.
Thus, there must be a problem with this violent thod of passing through.
There must be side effects.
Wait, isn’t the town filled with people who have side effects?
The carousel slowly ca to a stop, with a clatter, the stirrups on everyone’s feet released, everyone hurriedly escaped from the carousel, gasping heavily in fright.
Qing Chen looked at the three tourists slumped on the horses, with blood flowing down, not knowing what to think.
Gou Wa looked at him and said: "Stop looking, people die for wealth, birds die for food, dying on the path to wealth is a worthy death."
Qing Chen shook his head: "It’s different, they only know they can make money here, but you didn’t warn them of the dangers here, instead lured them in to kill."
Gou Wa looked at him and sneered: "You’re quite clever, discovered the clues in advance, otherwise you’d be one of them. How’s it, smart people can follow us and make big money."
Qing Chen suddenly chuckled: "Sure, big money."
At this mont, a clear and pleasing female voice ca from the column of the carousel again: "In the drifting area, each person rides a kayak alone, but if soone suddenly appears behind you, imdiately paddle ashore and exit the amusent park the way you ca, without looking back."
Gou Wa pointed at the totem on the column: "You’ve seen it too, right?"
"Yes," Qing Chen nodded.
Gou Wa sneered: "Don’t think you’re the only clever person, we’ve all seen the totem and heard the end line, but it’s useless. Let’s leave, go to the woods to pick things."
At this mont, Gou Wa had the intention to recruit Qing Chen, and his tone beca more calm.
The work pattern of the town’s residents is to co here to kill three people, obtaining survival qualification in the Taboo Land, then go pick things up.
If you pick things directly, it equals breaching the rules, leading to death by the creatures within the Taboo Land.
Qing Chen scanned the surroundings.
The carousel area has only two doors, one leading to the second drifting area, the other to the entrance where they ca in.
The drift area’s turnstile is already lit, but they can’t exit from there, only return the way they ca.
Qing Chen looked towards the turnstile where they had just been, but saw it was closed, with no way to exit.
As Gou Wa’s n disposed of the bodies on the horses, they slit the throats and let the blood flow into the stone urn at the entrance.
Qing Chen was a bit startled, so leaving the level actually requires filling that stone urn with 4000ml of blood?
Yet at this mont, suddenly a visitor arrived at the entrance to the drifting area, taking advantage of Gou Wa and their distraction, quickly scanned his iris and dashed into the passage!
Qing Chen watched the visitor’s figure disappear into the distance but heard Gou Wa sneer: "Courting death, don’t learn from him, he won’t survive."
Just as he spoke, a large group of people appeared outside the turnstile, it was Buddha who had just arrived at the town.
They saw Boss Wang and Er Hu covered in blood, being carried by Buddha’s people, while Gou Sheng followed Buddha unhard.
Buddha touched his bald head and smiled: "You want to co out? Don’t rush to leave, let’s go in together and have so fun!"
Gou Wa’s heart tightened, Buddha is here to forcefully explore Taboo Land 001!
...
