Chapter 321: Not a survival game
The owner of the tavern is an ordinary uncle, and in Benjamin's observation these days, he is also like the ordinary people living here, drinking and chatting every day, nothing special. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, when he saw the red and black card, his eyes also revealed a bit of awe-inspiring momentum.
"Come with me. He accepted the card and said.
Seeing this, Benjamin nodded, and followed the tavern owner, past the back door of the tavern, and finally to a sparsely populated street corner. On the street corner, there was nothing but a large carriage.
The tavernkeeper gestured to the carriage.
"Go up and it will take you where you want to go. ”
Benjamin is still a little foggy.
Isn't it all in the place, and why doesn't he know what the hell this "Seven Days of Hell" is?
However, as soon as he tried to ask, the tavernkeeper turned back, not even the slightest hint of justification for him.
Seeing this, Benjamin could only shake his head and walked towards the carriage.
It seems that this is not the final destination - they will have to move the venue.
"Come on, it's the last car. The coachman, who also looked like an illegal mercenary, glared at Benjamin and said.
Benjamin found out at this moment that there were still a lot of people in the carriage.
Most of them were burly and strong men, wearing thick leather armor and sharp swords, sitting in them without saying a word, and all kinds of fierce aura emanated, as if they were going to rob.
They also looked at Benjamin. Probably because Benjamin's appearance was too out of place with them, many people showed surprised expressions. However, they still chose to remain silent and did not speak.
Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
These are the other people who participated in the "Seven Days of Hell".
Although it was still a problem with the stomach, however, after scanning the water elemental induction method again, I didn't find anything wrong, and there was no trace of the mage. Therefore, without asking much, he boarded the carriage.
Anyway, he has nothing to be afraid of, just see what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd.
As soon as Benjamin got into the car, the coachman waved his whip and the carriage began to move at a rapid pace. After a while, they left the town and continued their journey to the north of the town.
"What is the further north of here?" Benjamin asked the system.
"It's a grove. The system replied, "It's a very remote place, not to mention people, and even a demonic beast is rarely seen, so it may be suitable for them to do things." ”
...... Woods?
Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Benjamin's eyes.
Could it be ...... Are these guys doing battle royale?
It's just speculation, but if you think about it, it's not impossible. "Seven Days of Hell" sounds a lot like a time-limited thing, and it fits the premise of a survival game or something.
Thinking of this, Benjamin looked at the other people sitting in the carriage, and his eyes became a little subtle. Although they are now in the same carriage, and everyone is safe, but after a while, they will have to live and die with each other.
Still, there are some oddities.
How do you make a profit from this survival game?
Those underground mercenary organizations must be holding this event to make money. Putting a bunch of people in the woods and killing each other sounds like fun, but it doesn't make any money.
At this moment, Benjamin was tempted to open his mouth and ask the other mercenaries who participated in the "Seven Days of Hell", or the coachman in front. But in fact, the atmosphere of the whole carriage was terrible, as if someone had been tricked, and there was no anger at all. Benjamin glared at someone else and was glared back at viciously.
Benjamin estimated that even if he opened his mouth, others would act as if they hadn't heard.
Therefore, in line with the principle of keeping a low profile, he still chose to remain silent.
The woods that the system says are not too far from the town of Torrey. About half an hour later, the carriage finally arrived at its destination, and Benjamin followed the other mercenaries in the carriage and got off one after another.
And at this moment, everything they saw in front of them was more than just a forest.
There was a large crowd around the edge of the woods, most of course, the typical mercenaries. But in addition to the mercenaries, Benjamin even saw several mages, which made him a little surprised.
In addition, he even saw a lot of guys in expensive costumes, who looked like they were full of brains and rich nouveau riche, and they definitely couldn't match the battle.
What are these people here for?
Benjamin's heart gradually swelled up with some bad premonitions.
"You're slow to come. ”
After they got out of the carriage, the mercenary who handed Benjamin the red and black card also came out of the crowd and cursed.
The coachman laughed and followed the mercenary to talk casually. Immediately afterward, they brought Benjamin's group over.
And in the process, those guys who looked like rich businessmen also looked at them, pointed, and nodded from time to time, showing satisfied expressions.
Benjamin shuddered.
What are these people doing?
While thinking so, Benjamin and his party soon gathered together with the contestants who had come here before, and were gathered by the mercenary organization. Benjamin looked at it twice, huh...... There are probably more than 20 of them who participated in the "Seven Days of Hell" after the three victories.
Those who can come here must be ruthless characters with extraordinary combat effectiveness.
I don't know what I'm going to do next.
But...... Now that they're all together, shouldn't the money be sent out?
Benjamin had that idea, and the other contestants certainly had that in mind. Some of them shouted out breathlessly: "Drake! ”
Others also responded with a burst of help.
Hearing this, the mercenary named Drake smiled and said, "What's the hurry, I have to explain the rules of the game to you first." Rest assured, we won't be on the wrong foot. ”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands. Then, a mercenary suddenly appeared, pushing a small cart with heavy bags one after another, and walked slowly towards them.
Suddenly, the eyes of all the contestants were drawn to the past.
Benjamin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Through the feedback of the water element, he could see that five thousand gold coins were divided equally into more than twenty bags. Obviously, this move shows that it is impossible for everyone to get 5,000 gold coins, and these people really want to play a survival game?
So...... Those guys dressed as rich people are here to place bets?
Benjamin still feels weird.
"This is a bag with gold coins, each of you can take one later, and all the bags add up to a total of five thousand gold coins. Derek also spoke, slowly, "However, before you can get the gold, each of you must turn in your weapons and sprain one of your hands. ”
Suddenly, all the contestants were on fire.
"What the are you talking about?"
"Lao Tzu's hand, you dare to move it!"
Drake was still smiling, and continued, "This is the rule of our game, if you don't want to abide by it, please leave on your own." You must go into the woods with the gold coins and live in the woods for seven days. For seven days, you can kill each other and take each other's gold. The last survivor can leave here with all the gains. ”
Hearing this, the contestants suddenly fell silent, looking at each other with hostility in their eyes.
It seems that these people are quite confident in their abilities, and feel that they must be the most powerful one, and they can get all the gold coins alive.
A sprained hand is not a serious injury, but it is meant to make the fight more difficult. In the presence of enough gold coins, everything is not a problem.
Benjamin shook his head inwardly.
"That'...... What are these people doing on the side?" he said suddenly, pointing to the rich businessmen.
When the other contestants heard this, they looked at Benjamin with strange eyes, as if they didn't understand what he cared about.
However, when Derek heard this, he let out a short laugh, looked at him with some appreciation, and said, "Good observation. These people are the big financiers of our 'Seven Days of Hell' this time. ”
Really......
Benjamin didn't speak, a thought had already crossed his mind.
And this idea of his was also verified in Derek's next words.
"After you sprained your hands and entered the woods, these adults, accompanied by our elite members, will also enter the woods and hunt you. He smiled and said, "You can't fight back, or our guest mage will blow you to smithereens." ”
"And during these seven days, you can only keep running away, trying to keep yourself alive, and add some more pleasure to our lord. ”
