Grass, what a good flower and bird market, how come there is still a Grim Reaper coming down!
—— everyone couldn't help but complain in their heads.
The rules also did not mention the Grim Reaper, Ye Xi and Xiao Leng did not think that they would soon leave the flower area and be blocked by the Grim Reaper, they looked at each other, then without prior agreement, they both thought of a rule that was vaguely related to this segment.
The fifth general rule: Tomorrow and death do not necessarily who will give up first, but your decision will affect death.
On the other hand, there is also something that is not very clear whether it is related to the sixth point or not: Good people will be rewarded with good things, evil people will be rewarded with bad things, but pretending to be kind and righteous is perhaps the ultimate evil.
When they first saw these two internal rules, they felt that they were too real and fake. Reading them out didn't seem like rules at all. They were like spiritual chicken soup, and it was still the kind of chicken soup that looked profound.
Now that the Grim Reaper has appeared, these two internal rules no longer seem real, but fake.
Death stood firmly on his feet, his right hand still holding the scythe, his left hand spread out, two white lights jumped out from his palm, falling to the ground, forming two flower pots.
These two flower pots, one pot is a moon flower, in this strange pond it is clearly not safe; but the other pot is a man-eating flower with a big mouth of blood... At first glance it looks equally dangerous.
The hollow voice of the Grim Reaper came from the black robe: "Friends who have come from afar, if you had to choose one plant to be with me forever, which one would you choose?"
Diep Tich: ... You speak very artistically.
"Choose a plant to be with you forever" —— to be with Death forever, to put it bluntly, isn't that the same as being dead!
Tieu Lang smiled: "Can we negotiate a little? Mr. Tu Than."
"Of course you can." The black hood was slightly lowered, as if the Grim Reaper was nodding. Xiao Leng turned around, and his teammates immediately gathered together nervously, lowering their voices and whispering to each other.
Yu Ying said: "Are you sure you want to send Yue Gui away? This dungeon looks very unusual, if we leave Yue Gui behind, Yue Gui will probably turn around and tear us apart!"
"That is... Cannibal flowers will clearly tear people apart!" Deng Lanlan looked very depressed. She did not feel that Yu Ying's analysis of Yue Gui was incorrect, but her safety regarding Cannibal Flowers was still questionable.
Wang Li completely agreed with Yu Ying's words: "I also feel that it's time to send off Yue Gui. This strange talk clearly can't be 'taking advantage of the situation', that man-eating flower looks intimidating... Not all of them are hundred-eyed flowers that are intimidating! Hundred-eyed flowers haven't done anything to us, I guess the man-eating flower won't have any problems either."
The palace also said: "Yes, yes, Yu Ying just bought that pot of red lilac lips, her mouth is even more than this man-eating flower, but she just kissed her for a while, she's still strangely adorable."
Deng Lanlan still hesitated: "Think about it… The red lips of the cloves are all small red lips, and they can't be seen. This——" she pointed at the flower bed not far away, "This mouth is so big that it can swallow a chicken directly, and its mouth is full of fangs, it absolutely cannot be compared to the red lips of the cloves!"
Tieu Lanh looked at Diep Tich: "What do you think, Miss Tich?"
Diep Tich said: "It was me who sent away the man-eating flower."
Yu Ying was surprised: "Why?!"
"You guys look to the side." Ye Xi glanced at the flower beds on both sides, "On this way we passed by quite a few moonlit fields, and there were also quite a few other common flowers and grasses, but when we got here, everyone was not attacked."
"So I feel that although normal flowers and grass have extremely strong killing power, they have a clear trigger mechanism. Going against the rules is obviously one of the reasons, and completing the purchase from a semi-finished product is probably another reason."
"But right now, the Grim Reaper only said that he wanted us to choose one pot and give it to him, but he didn't say that we wanted to take the other pot away. If we let that pot of moonflowers wait on the ground, there shouldn't be any problems."
Tieu Lanh turned his head slightly, silently enjoying her, the bottom of his eyes contained a small, barely detectable smile.
He really liked the way she analyzed things. This kind of confident scheming made her look like a fearless warrior, in this strange world full of danger, unstoppable.
Wang Li objected to her words: "If 'being left behind in the Death God's Choice' is also a condition for activating normal killing flowers, then what should we do?"
"Don't be impatient, listen to me." Ye Xi nodded, "When we bought flowers before, we used two different ideas. One was that Yu Ying started from high prices to low prices, and continued to buy 240 pieces of Full Sky Planets until Zhou Yuan met with disaster."
"After he got into trouble, he changed the idea to me——buy some fruit plants, because this kind of plant only needs to be not eaten. At that time, we bet that as long as we don't eat it, and use plastic bags to separate the fruit scent, there will be no danger."
"But now based on the results of the counterattack, in fact, there is a reason for the safety of plants in all species. Fruits and such don't need much explanation, the reason why they are safe, should be explained like that by me. But before me, based on Yu Ying's thoughts, there were flowers that couldn't be bought, such as red-lipped cloves, Yuanbao pine, mermaid grass, fox demon lotus, and Wang Li who directly exchanged points for hundreds of flowers——are they safe, really just because they are expensive?"
Diep Tich guided step by step while raising questions, hoping that her teammates would immediately think it through, so she wouldn't waste her breath.
But at a glance, except for Tieu Lanh's gentle expression, everyone else's faces were full of expressions.
... Still come to explain.
Ye Xi helplessly let out a sigh of relief: "The Hundred Eyes Flower is a pair of eyes, and its special properties are also related to the eyes——very curious, so it looks around everywhere; the key point of the red lilac is the 'red lips', so Yu Ying grabbed her hand and took her body; the Yuanbao Pine is a huge gold ingot, it looks very valuable, but it doesn't make sense to take the initiative to attack; the mermaid grass and the fox demon lotus, although their names are strange, in folk legends, these two types of cunning monsters are unlikely to actively attack people."
In which, if not just put China " Shan Hai Jing " "Mermaid" also divided into, then "Mermaid" related legend mostly originated with Europe. In legend this is a noble and beautiful race, pure and sacred, hate killing.
The fox demon is also a regular guest in ancient Chinese ghost novels, but "regular guest" does not mean "big villain", in those novels, the most common fox demon image has three types, one type is to charm the king and fall in love with beautiful women, such as Da Ji; one type is to fall in love with scholars, singers, etc., the representative character is probably Nie Xiaoqian. There is also a type that exists in the theme of repaying kindness, many plots are the main character because of all kinds of fortuitous coincidences saving a fox, then either directly promoted very quickly, reaching the peak of life; or with the help of the fox avoiding the fate-defining bloody disaster, can live to seventy or eighty years old.
No matter what kind of hypothesis, fox demons are not very direct in their attacks. Even if the plot has "fighting scenes", usually someone will attack the fox demon first, which will then provoke the fox demon to take revenge.
So, going by the opposite logic, there is a reason why each flower that does not cause danger. They do things that suit their own "flower design", apart from whether they are edible or not, some other flowers are not simply insured because they are precious enough.
According to this logic, that cannibal flower bed is clearly unsafe.
Although the Grim Reaper did not explicitly say that it was a "man-eating flower", this was a name they randomly gave based on its appearance, but just looking at its mouth full of fangs, one could tell that this was definitely a carnivorous creature.
At first, Yu Ying, who had completely opposite ideas, was convinced and took a deep breath: "I agree..."
Compared to her rough guess, Diep Tich's thoughts were much more subtle.
Diep Tich raised his eyes: "Where are you guys looking?"
Tieu Lanh smiled: "I agree."
"I agree..." The others followed along sparsely and said.
Diep Tich saw that his idea was approved by all the votes, nodded, turned around and said to Tu Than: "Mr. Tu Than, we are giving you the man-eating flower."
"Oh, shallow humans ——" Death let out a sinister laugh.
Diep Tich's heart was filled with sorrow: She was wrong?!
Death said again: "Okay, I respect your decision."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand again, and the man-eating flower pot turned into a white light, jumping back into his palm. The precious moon was still firmly placed there.
Diep Tich:? In the end, right is still wrong?
"We… made the right choice?" Dang Lam Lam was filled with unease.
Diep Tich hung down by his side, holding his hand tightly: "Let's go ahead first."
There was no turning ahead, either go forward or go back. Going forward, if she really chose wrongly, she might die, but going back in the opposite direction, against the rules, would definitely kill her.
Diep Tich took a few deep breaths, fearless in the face of death, and took the lead.
Tieu Lang held his breath, silently and without a sound, he followed, maintaining less than half a step distance from Diep Tich.
He has a prop, [Killing Artist] describes that he can kill any living thing, which should also include the flower in front of his eyes.
... Although the rules clearly state that picking flowers is not allowed, they also say that one must "maintain respect and reverence for nature."
But it doesn't matter, the rules of the monster forum are the dead.
Diep Tich quickly realized that there was someone beside her. She turned her head to look at the figure carved on the ground. The familiar figure made her stiffen.
She knew that his [killing artist] was level 3, now there was still a chance to use it.
Diep Tich stopped, suddenly turned around, and pushed him with both hands.
She thought of pushing him back, then quickly turned around and ran over to the flower bed. But reality did not match her expectations, her hand that had just reached out was easily caught, she instantly stiffened, her eyes widened in panic, looking at him with a pair of charming eyes: "What do you want to do?" He had a faint smile, his words did not explore, only understanding.
"... I know what you are thinking." Diep Tich gritted his teeth, "No, I won't do it."
On the other hand, the teammates who were originally following Xiao Leng two or three meters behind were all stunned when they saw this: What are these two doing?
Tieu Lanh lowered his eyes and glanced at her, who was being restrained by his methods: "Now it seems that the decision is not in your hands."
After saying that, he forcefully pulled Diep Tich, striding towards the moon flower pot together. Diep Tich struggled and shouted: "Let go! I don't need anyone else to die for me!"
Tieu Lanh turned a blind eye.
Diep Tich tried to sink his body back, intending to slow him down: "If you die here, I won't live either, believe it or not!!!"
"Yes?" Tieu Lanh paused and turned away, leisurely reading each word, "I think we haven't reached the kind of relationship where we have to die for each other."
"???" The faces of the crowd of onlookers were distorted: So it was a pair of dog lovers!
"What the hell is a suicide!" Diep Tich's face turned red and his ears were red, he was furious, "How about paying with your life!!!" His wrist was grabbed by him and he started to struggle violently, "Let me go!"
Tieu Lanh had never seen her look like this, unable to help but admire her for two seconds before saying: "Don't move."
Diep Tich: "What don't move!"
Tieu Lanh: "You are so messy, if I let go you will fall out."
"..." The violently jumping Diep Tich immediately calmed down, awkwardly stood firm, and nervously looked at Tieu Lanh.
But Tieu Lanh really let go of her, very gentlemanly made a "Please" gesture, telling her to do as she pleased.
Diep Tich let out a sigh of relief, but after taking just two steps forward, she discovered that Tieu Lanh was still following her with his eyes closed.
Her face turned pale, and she turned around again: "Can you not follow me? Even if it really is dangerous, I don't want to let you..."
"This seems to be my business." He said each word, as if he had known the lines before, causing Diep Tich to immediately choke.
...Repaying kindness with hatred belongs to!
Diep Tich was speechless. Tieu Lanh was silent, his sharp edges softened, the habitual indifference in the depths of his eyes became empty: "Let's go together, I know what I'm doing."
Diep Tich shook his head, restraining his previous boldness, his expression also became serious: "There's no reason for you to block this kind of thing for me."
"No, of course it makes sense."
Diep Tich frowned: "Then you say it?"
She guessed that he probably meant that he was defending the masses, but she was now an official member of the 17th. From her "comrades'" perspective, she didn't want any of them to die for her.
It was he who said: "You still have family, but I don't have any."
Diep Tich's eyes trembled.
Tieu Lanh raised his eyes, his gaze swept past her, stopping at the basin that opened to the charming wet moon.
"If you die here, your parents will live in pain for the rest of their lives. But I won't, if I die here..." He paused, "This might be a way for me to reunite with my parents."
When he said the second half of the sentence, Ye Xi read a kind of anticipation in his eyes. His gaze remained fixed on that flower bed, as if it was not a monster that would take away life, but a staircase leading to heaven.
She originally thought he was just not afraid of death.
Now it seems that he is not only not afraid, but is "looking forward to death".
She suddenly wondered what exactly he had gone through, because if it was simply "doomed by both parents", it seemed not enough to make the person born have this kind of self-destructive feeling. In many stories of impending doom, the children left behind were exceptionally strong-willed, firmly believing that only by living an outstanding life could they comfort their loved ones in heaven; of course, some would be mediocre and inactive all their lives because of this shadow, and would fall into self-pity, but under this kind of situation, those born with a desire to survive would usually be there, even if they did not have a strong "desire to survive", at least they would not "look forward to death".
Tieu Lanh's state was really unusual, so unusual that just looking at his surface made her heart ache a little.
At the same time, he also convinced her.
Just now, when she faced the question of "Should I die or should my teammates die in my place?", she was not afraid of feeling superior and did not want to be unkind in a matter of life and death. But when he mentioned her parents, he was indeed ruthlessly threatening her.
Diep Tich took a deep breath, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards that precious moon basin again.
Tieu Lanh still followed her from behind, the two of them silently walked forward, until Diep Tich stopped in front of the rose moon.
The bright red moon quietly bloomed, waiting for two breaths, still not moving.
Diep Tich concentrated, let off a lot of steam, and a new doubt arose in her heart: "Tell me, what exactly did Tu Than mean by that sentence just now?" She turned her head to look at Tieu Lanh.
If it is said that Death is dissatisfied, this flower pot will not initiate an attack; but if it is said that Death is satisfied, then what does that sentence just now that clearly contained a contemptuous meaning of "shallow humans" mean?
Tieu Lang frowned deeply: "I don't know either."
"Ai... Anyway, as long as it's safe!" Deng Lanlan quickly followed after confirming safety, "What a strange rule, being able to survive one official is an official!"
It makes sense.
Diep Tich and Tieu Lanh temporarily put aside their worries, adjusted their emotions, and went to the next area.
.
The flower export gate is a grass and tree woven archway, with hundreds of flowers blooming between the leaves, the color is charming and eye-catching.
After going out is a piece of ordinary cement but small square, one side of the square has a pavilion, the pavilion has long chairs on all sides, in the middle there are different stone tables and chairs, at first glance it looks like it is a special place for attendees to rest.
In the strange talk rules, "He" also seemed to spare no expense in providing the participants with a place to stop and discuss local issues, but combined with the still high mortality rate, it was difficult to say that this was a kind of "humanizing confidants" and he was still unintentionally mocking and disdaining it.
"Let's sit down and discuss first?" Tieu Lanh looked at Diep Tich, Diep Tich happily nodded: "Let's do it."
On the other hand, the teammates who saw this did not have any objections. After going through the twists and turns just now, Ye Xi and Xiao Leng had inadvertently taken the initiative. Especially Ye Xi, from buying flowers to choosing the Death God, she had analyzed the principles clearly. Although the Death God segment had not yet clearly probed the situation, but the thoughts she explained that others did not consider at all were enough to make everyone feel dependent.
The group of people thus gathered in the pavilion to sit down and enjoy the breeze. Chu Tu Duong uneasily looked around the next area.
The next area should be the bird holding area. Because although the entrance is the same as the flower export area, the main body is not green, and there is no dazzling flower. Its base color is brown, with mottled patterns, like a tree trunk. Three or four branches reaching up are holding bird nests, and the highest place has two colored birds, both raising their heads, seemingly singing a golden song.
"Holding the bird area… What will happen?" Wang Li muttered.
Yu Ying saw that he was very nervous and comforted him, "Don't think about it for now. We'll talk about it when we see the rules. Take a good rest now, and don't worry."
"Also ha..." Wang Li was made to laugh by the four words "loan anxiety", scratched his head, suddenly saw something, suddenly turned his head, "Ai, they also came out!"
Everyone turned their heads in unison and saw another group of people staggering out.
Duong Ca and Nham Ninh Ninh saw them at the same time, their eyes lit up: "Hey! Are you okay?" They said and quickened their steps as they ran to the pavilion.
Duong Ca walked and paused to check the number of people, when he discovered there were only 7 people, his mood became very complicated.
Their two teams started with 12 people each. After just passing the first area, there were only 6 people left on her side. After one round, 50% of them lost their lives.
——In Yang Ge's impression, except for the battle when the 17th was just established and everyone had no experience, he himself had never had a mission that was carried out so miserably.
This led to her having doubts about her own abilities for the first time. She didn't expect that Xiao Duo and the team led by Tang 188 were also not in very good condition.
However, this did not improve Yang Ge's mood. On the contrary, this further proved how brutal this dungeon was.
Tieu Lang calmly waited for them to enter, then went straight to the point and asked: "Do you guys finally have a Death God challenge?"
Duong Ca was stunned, Nham Ninh Ninh nodded first: "Yes."
Tieu Lanh: "Which one do you choose to give him?"
"Of course it's to make him take that ordinary looking pot away!" Ren Ningning replied, "The ordinary flowers here clearly have the greatest lethality. Wouldn't staying on the road mean waiting to die?"
Before she finished speaking, she immediately reacted: "... You guys didn't choose like that?"
Diep Tich realized another problem, looked at Nham Ninh Ninh, and asked: "What are the differences between your two choices?"
"Young chrysanthemums and... Hundred-eye flower?" Ren Ningning said, "Hundred-eye flower has been confirmed to be safe, but young chrysanthemums are not necessarily safe."
Choice but with them different?
Diep Tich and Tieu Lanh looked at each other, Tieu Lanh said to Nham Ninh Ninh: "The God of Death gave us the choice of Nguyet Quy and the man-eating flower. We will send away the man-eating flower and leave Nguyet Quy."
"It seems to make sense..." Ren Ningning frowned, making a guess, "Perhaps he has a 'question bank', with different questions and different answers?"
Maybe go.
Diep Tich asked again: "So after you made your choice, did Death say anything?"
Duong Ca choked: "The God of Death said...'lying to humanity'! We thought we had chosen wrongly at the beginning."
Diep Tich: "..."
So, this topic sends out the strange growth, which is "Shallow humanity". Send out the beautiful growth, which is "Lying humanity".
Death, you have some prejudice against humanity.
Yang Ge was immersed in the sense of urgency brought by the high death rate. He thought for a moment and looked towards Xiao Leng: "Right now, your team has 7 extra people, and we have 6 extra people, a total of 13 people. Do you want to join the team?"
Tieu Lang just thought about this.
Just looking at this weird death rate, six or seven individuals is already very little. With such a small number of people, if it were just a group massacre, not to mention, if in this round, a certain team was left with only one survivor, and another team was too afraid to accept it because he acted alone, everyone would be in a dilemma.
Seeing that Duong Ca also thought the same, he gently nodded: "Okay, let's join."
"Then let's fight and win quickly?" Yang Ge looked at the bird holding area not far away. Everyone originally didn't intend to stop too much in a strange place like the Rule Realm. After stopping to rest for a bit, they felt that it was enough. Hearing Yang Ge's words, they were in high spirits and stood up to prepare to go to the next area.
.
Holding the bird area as a barrier from the local world, standing outside the door could not hear a single bird call, entering that archway, suddenly everywhere was filled with bird calls.
Diep Tich first glanced around the general environment. Unlike the flower area which was mostly short and flowery, this place had many tall trees, the various shades of green connected together, the misty water vapor in it, at first glance it looked like a charming rainforest.
This place's road is not the flower garden type, just a single S-road, but has many crisscrossing small roads.
So it seems, there should be no "No going against the flow" rule.
After walking a few steps, everyone noticed a wooden shelf standing on the side of the road. On the shelf was a thick stack of papers. Without asking, they knew it was the rules for the bird zone.
Diep Tich took the lead and divided a small stack from the middle, one per person and gave it to everyone. Then he threw the rest away and kept one for himself. He lowered his head and looked closely. On it was written:
"To ensure that our customers have a relaxing and enjoyable shopping experience, please strictly adhere to the following rules:"
"1. There are often lost children in this area. If you meet a lost child, please take me to the area in the middle of the tree of life;
2. Before leaving the area, please make a one-time payment.
*Urgent Notice: Recently, a few resentful flowers have been accidentally dropped in this area. Resentful flowers have very strong attacking properties and are very sensitive to touch, so visitors are requested to pay attention to their safety. If you accidentally come into direct contact with the resentful flowers, please stay put and wait for staff to rescue you."
... Do not have?
Next to Duong Ca: "Just this?"
At the same time, behind the team, there were also a few audience members looking at each other.
Whether for a newbie who just joined the dungeon or for a 17-year-old experienced team member, this is the most concise rule.
The quick calculation issued a total of three notices, the first of which was still mentioned in the general rules as too "nonsense", but...
Diep Tich's eyes returned to the first article, he tried to analyze it himself, it was difficult to come up with a definite result, so he started using the props.
Only she could see the German Shepherd blinking at the rules page, running around, and without any carelessness, starting to verify the first rule.:,,.
