Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

Qingluan held Li Shixi's lantern in his hand, and the pale candlelight dispelled some of the black fog. The compass needle in his hand changed direction from time to time. After walking for an unknown period of time, the compass needle started to spin wildly again, indicating that there was something nearby.

It must be that house! Ya Zi thought excitedly that this forest must be where the forbidden treasure was hidden, and that giant beast was undoubtedly the guardian beast of the treasure. As long as they got rid of it, all the treasures in the forbidden area would be theirs!

Li Shixi and Erwin looked around. Although the fog was still too thick to disperse, it did not affect them at all. After all, sometimes one did not need vision to "see" things.

Suddenly, Erwin noticed something and motioned Li Shixi to look somewhere.

Li Shixi sent out his perception to explore that direction, and then froze in place.

"Is that... a fruit tree?" Erwin asked in confusion.

"Lychee forest." Li Shixi answered affirmatively.

Not far from them, on the other side of the fog, there was a small piece of land with dozens of litchi trees planted there.

But unlike ordinary lychee trees, the lychee trees there were very tall, and each one looked as huge as if it was a hundred years old. On the branches were densely packed "fruits" with red skins, and some of the "fruits" vaguely revealed the white "flesh" underneath.

The two of them calmly stopped looking. Although it looked a bit scary, they didn't sense any danger. What made them feel something was wrong was the other side of the lychee forest. It seemed that someone had placed a ban there, so they couldn't sense it.

Ya Zi didn't notice this problem. When the compass got to this place, it started spinning wildly, and he couldn't see the road around here. At this time, the two players who were clinging to him took out the compass and said, "Boss, we just checked it and it's still usable!"

Ya Zi was surprised to take out his map and compass and found that the place he wanted to go was not far from where they were now. Thinking of this, he excitedly pointed to one section and said, "Let's go over there."

Alvin looked at the place where Yazi pointed. It was the lychee forest. He couldn't help but mourn in silence.

I hope these players can be more resilient.

Ya Zi confidently stepped into the lychee forest, and as soon as he got close, he suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood. He suppressed his nausea and looked towards the source of the smell, and he almost couldn't breathe.

Above his head, there was a skinned human head. There were more than one skinless human head, and this tree was almost full of them, not to mention the trees in the entire forest.

The two players who were clinging to the thigh were frightened and screamed without any defense. Then they were slapped by Ya Zi: "Who told you to be so loud!"

“But, but…” The player who was beaten had trembling legs and pointed at the heads above his head in panic: “Oh, so many heads!”

Ya Zi was also very scared. He recalled that when he met the little girl just now, she asked them if they wanted to eat lychees. Could this be the lychee she was talking about? If they agreed at that time, would they become lychees on the tree?

Ya Zi didn't dare to think too much, but he still kept calm on his face: "Why panic? The place we are going to is behind this forest. We just need to pass through here. I have also checked and there is no danger."

"But, but..." The player wanted to say something, but Qingluan glared at him and he dared not say anything.

Li Shixi had a mocking smile on his face. He casually put his hands behind his back and made a gesture. Alvin felt a flash before his eyes. The pungent smell of blood turned into a fresh and sweet fruity aroma. The very tall lychee trees around him also returned to their normal size, and the human heads on the trees turned into bunches of round and plump lychees.

Li Shixi even relied on the sleight of hand that Erwin had set up around him to prevent them from seeing him. He picked a bunch of lychees from the tree and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, it's still Guiwei."

"Huh? What is this?" Erwin asked curiously.

"Try it." Li Shixi picked a few more bunches and put them in his pocket. Actually, he quite liked eating lychees, but unfortunately he could only eat them a few times a year.

Erwin hesitantly took the lychee handed over by Li Shixi and imitated his movements to tear open the lychee shell, revealing the translucent white flesh inside. He put it in his mouth, his eyes slightly lit up: "This is delicious, and it seems to have the fragrance of osmanthus."

"Is that so?" Li Shixi smiled, with a rare look of joy in his eyes: "This variety of lychee is called Guiwei."

He didn't know it when he was standing outside the litchi forest, but Li Shixi felt it as soon as he walked in. The position of each tree here was slightly different. After a closer look, he realized that this should be a trick of using the trees as the center of the formation.

This is just a small sleight of hand. Anyone with a keen eye can see through it and solve it at once. Only the half-witted person who is showing off with a compass can't see it.

Erwin had never eaten lychees before, and out of curiosity he couldn't help but eat two more. Then he paused and asked hesitantly, "Isn't it bad for us to steal other people's lychees?"

This question stumped Li Shixi and he was also stunned.

"Well...but that brat asked us if we wanted to eat it." Li Shixi ate another lychee expressionlessly: "If she didn't agree, she didn't refuse. So what if she ate it? Didn't we help her pick them? What's wrong with eating two of hers?"

As he spoke, Li Shixi shook the handful of lychees in his hand. If Erwin hadn't watched Li Shixi eating one after another, he would have almost believed him.

However, it was the first time he saw Li Shixi so interested in something. After spending some time together, he didn't have a bad feeling towards Li Shixi, so he just let him do what he wanted.

But...

"I won't help you if Xiaoyu makes a fuss." Erwin said, trying not to laugh.

"What's wrong with eating two of hers? She still has such a big forest." Li Shixi rolled his eyes and didn't care at all.

Because of Erwin's deception, Ya Zi thought that Li Shixi and the others were quietly following behind them and doing nothing. But he didn't have time to care about what they were doing, because he was now nervously guarding against the dangers hidden in the lychee forest, fearing that a ghost would suddenly jump out and take their lives.

Li Shixi left the litchi grove in fear and looked at Ya Zi's appearance, feeling only laughter.

Ya Zi didn't know what Li Shixi was thinking, because he found that the fog around them had dissipated a little after leaving the litchi forest, and he could see the silhouette of a yard in front of them!

"Be careful, the giant beast may be nearby." Ya Zi reminded in a low voice. Seeing him like this, Li Shixi really wanted to tell him that everything would be fine as long as he didn't enter that house.

"Did you feel anything?" Erwin calmed down and felt it: "I feel that there is some ominous atmosphere in this house, and Yu Lan is inside."

"Are you born in the Year of the Dog?" Li Shixi looked at him in surprise. He, who had signed a contract with Yulan, had not sensed anything yet, but how come Erwin, who had nothing to do with him, had sensed it? This made him seem redundant.

Li Shixi complained silently in his heart, and then said: "I can't feel anything. There is a barrier in this house that can block perception. I'm not sure whether it is to block the outside world or to prevent the people inside from exploring the outside world."

There are many barriers that block perception, but their natures are different, which means that the identities of the people in the house are different.

The former is to protect the people in the house, while the latter is only to imprison the people in the house.

Unfortunately, Ya Zi didn’t think that much. He and the two players explored the area nearby and after confirming that the house had only one entrance, they decided to enter through the main door.

"How daring!" Li Shixi couldn't help but sigh again: "Who is their president? How could he bring out such a person without common sense?"

They gave me the compass and the magic sword, but why didn’t they teach me anything related to magic?

Ya Zi leaned against the door and listened to the noise inside. After confirming that there was no movement inside, he instructed the two players to go and open the door.

The two players turned pale, put their hands on the door in fear, and pushed it gently - the door opened.

They were a little stunned. How did the door open when they didn't even use any force?

This made the two players feel a little scared. They spoke to Ya Zi, but were interrupted impatiently by Ya Zi: "I didn't sense any danger, don't worry - I'll give you the lanterns, go in and check the way."

Without giving the two players any chance to refuse, Ya Zi stuffed Li Shixi's lantern into their hands and pushed them into the door.

Li Shixi lowered his eyes slightly: "You really know how to make the best use of things."

"Ha." Ya Zi laughed disdainfully: "It's impossible to follow me and get benefits for free."

The tone of his words was strange, as if he regarded Li Shixi and the others as people who wanted to curry his favor. Faced with this situation, Li Shixi would not hold back and laughed directly.

Ya Zi had been laughed at by Li Shixi several times today, and he was already dissatisfied. He couldn't help but want to hit him. He stared at Li Shixi angrily and said in a deep voice: "What the hell are you laughing at?"

"I'm just... laughing at some people who overestimate their abilities." Li Shixi curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Yazi with contempt.

Ya Zi couldn't bear it any longer, and no matter how Qing Luan tried to persuade him, it was useless. Just as he clenched his fists and was ready to hit Li Shixi, he heard stumbling footsteps behind him.

"Boss, there's someone!" The two players ran over with terrified faces, pointing at the room behind them in a panicked tone: "People... Skeletons... She has no face!!!"

"What the hell?" Ya Zi was interrupted and was very impatient. He pushed away the player who was talking unclearly and strode towards the place they were pointing with his sword in hand.

The house was a two-story courtyard. When you opened the gate, you'd see a large dead tree in the yard, but you couldn't tell what kind of tree it was.

The ground was covered with thick dust, obviously no one had lived here for many years.

Following the footprints on the ground, crossing the big tree, passing through the front hall and coming to the backyard, Ya Zi suddenly heard a low humming sound. It was a woman singing. The plain tone echoed in the empty backyard, making the atmosphere seem very cool.

"Life is like morning dew, and there is no place without separation. Tonight, we bid farewell, and meet in dreams. I whisper to comfort my heart and gently wipe away my tearful eyes."

The door of the wing room on the left side of the backyard was half open. When Ya Zi heard the sound coming from there, he walked to the door cautiously and looked inside.

Looking through the gauze screen behind the door, there were two women standing and sitting behind the dressing table by the window. One was wearing a bright red dress and sitting in front of the dressing table, crying with her head down, her black hair falling to the ground like a waterfall; the other woman was wearing white clothes, combing the hair of the woman in red with a comb in her hand, and someone was humming a strange song.

As if they realized someone was watching them, they both turned around at the same time. Ya Zi quickly dodged to the side and left here, but she was too anxious to leave and accidentally missed the step and fell.

"crunch-"

The door was pushed open, and Ya Zi felt a chill in his heart. It was over, he was discovered.

At the same time, a pair of feet appeared in front of Yazi. When he looked up, he found it was Li Shixi with a gloomy expression.

There was obvious mockery in Li Shixi's eyes. He reached out and pulled Ya Zi up from the ground, then looked at the person opposite him calmly.

With such a calm person around, and that person was someone he hated, Ya Zi felt that he could not lose face, so he pretended to be calm, came back to his senses and made eye contact with the two people behind him.

Just that one glance and he almost couldn't breathe again.

"It's you?!" Ya Zi's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the woman in white clothes in disbelief. The woman was petite, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and had a well-behaved face. When she saw Ya Zi looking at her in surprise, her face was expressionless.

The woman glanced at Jiaozi calmly and said, "I wonder what brings you here? What's the matter?"

She spoke in a light tone, which was different from the laughter he had heard halfway up the mountain. Ya Zi now remembered why he felt the voice of the giant beast was so familiar, because it was the voice of the woman in front of him, the one called Yu Lan.

Hearing the noise, Qingluan and the others also hurried over. She was also very surprised when she saw Yulan standing here: "Why are you here?!"

Yu Lan, who was standing in the courtyard, did not say anything. She glanced at everyone calmly and asked again in a good-tempered manner, "What are you doing here?"

Unfortunately, Yu Lan did not wait for the other side's reply, and was faced with the fierce sword moves of Ya Zi.

"Hah! Look at the sword!"

No matter why Yu Lan appeared here, there was no doubt that she was the giant beast. As long as he got rid of her, the treasure here would be his!

Yu Lan looked at Ya Zi coldly as he rushed towards her. She did not dodge or evade, but stood quietly where she was.
