Chapter 369: Rules of the Game
Maybe Zhao Xiaojian...... No...... It wasn't Zhao Xiaojian, that monster was sniffing his breath right now, floating towards the boulder.
Zhou Fan's heart was beating sharply, he could hear his own heartbeat, the more he was like this, the more scared he became, he wasn't sure if the monster could hear his heartbeat.
It's just that his heartbeat is not something he can control, and his body is stiff and motionless.
After a long while, he didn't hear Zhao Xiaojian's voice calling him.
He cautiously looked out of the boulder.
Zhao Xiaojian is no longer here.
Zhou Fan was stunned, but he quickly got down from the boulder and ran wildly towards the outside of the forest in his memory.
He just wanted to get out of this horrible place, this weird game of cannibalism scared him, and he didn't want to be eaten by that strange shadow.
The forest was still silent, and he could only hear his own breathing.
As he ran, something suddenly rushed at him and threw him to the ground.
Zhou Fan struggled desperately and wanted to scream, but his mouth was covered.
His gaze returned to normal from shaking, and it was Yang Xinmeng who knocked him down.
"If you don't want to die, don't shout. In his memory, Yang Xinmeng, who was still shy in Chinese, whispered with a cold face.
Zhou Fan screamed and blinked to show that he understood.
Yang Xinmeng slowly let go of his hand.
"Heart dream, Liu Xin...... Liu Xin ...... "Zhou Fan stammered, his upper and lower teeth trembled.
"Was it right to be eaten by a ghost?" Yang Xinmeng behaved calmly, and she was not surprised at all.
Zhou Fan's eyes widened in astonishment, he was wondering how Yang Xinmeng knew?
Yang Xinmeng looked at Zhou Fan and frowned slightly: "Were you stupid before you came in, don't you even know what we're doing?"
Zhou Fan said cowardly: "Why is this happening?"
Didn't you come in to hide and seek? Why did Zhao Xiaojian suddenly become a man-eating monster, and he wanted to find them and eat them.
"Follow me. Yang Xinmeng didn't answer, she looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that she hadn't found it, she took the lead and slowly moved to the right.
Zhou Fan followed behind her and couldn't help but whisper: "We are walking so slowly, we will be overtaken." ”
Yang Xinmeng turned his head and glanced at Zhou Fan coldly: "You idiot, if you run around like you just now, you will attract ghosts, and the ears of ghosts are more powerful than your eyes." ”
Zhou Fan shuddered, he only then understood why Yang Xinmeng knocked him down just now, if he ran around like him, it might really attract Zhao Xiaojian.
"Thank you. Zhou Fan thanked Yang Xinmeng.
Yang Xinmeng was silent for a moment, didn't look back, walked in front and said, "Do you think I want to save you? I'm afraid that you will attract ghosts to me." ”
Zhou Fan was stunned, but he felt that if this was the case, Yang Xinmeng could completely avoid it and didn't need to stop him.
The two moved cautiously through the secluded jungle, often sheltered by shrubs or tall grass.
"Let's get out of the forest quickly, Zhao Xiaojian has gone crazy. Zhou Fan saw that Yang Xinmeng's direction was not going out, but going further inside, and he couldn't help but whisper.
"Shut up. Yang Xinmeng's eyes looked outside, and she said in a cold voice, "Where do you think this is? This is the Hidden Forest, you can't get out if you go in, no matter which direction you go." ”
"All we have to do is hide, don't let the ghost find it, let the ghost find it only to die. ”
Zhou Fan's memory came back a little, he remembered, Yang Xinmeng didn't lie to him, this is the Hidden Forest, and he can't get out on his own when he comes in, but he vaguely remembers that it's not that there is no way to get out, "Then how can we get out?"
Thinking that Zhao Xiaojian, who was moving quickly without touching the ground, was wandering around looking for them, he felt shuddered.
"Only one of the ten of us will survive this game. Yang Xinmeng said indifferently.
"After half a pillar of incense, if Zhao Xiaojian can't find all of us, then he will be eaten by ghosts, and the survivors must return to the Shenmu and start the next round of hide and seek until the last one is left, and the ghosts do not allow those who are hiding to kill each other, once they violate the rules, they will be killed. ”
"Only the last person left in hide and seek will be sent out of the hide-and-seek forest. ”
Zhou Fan's face turned slightly pale, and his resuscitation memory told him that all this was true.
"Why? Why are we doing this?"
"Why?" Yang Xinmeng glanced back at Zhou Fan, "Because this is our fate, the Hidden Village will send ten children every ten years to sacrifice to the Hidden Forest, so that the Hidden Village can survive, and we have been picked." ”
Yang Xinmeng didn't say anything more to Zhou Fan, she told Zhou Fan everything she had to say.
Zhou Fan silently followed Yang Xinmeng's back and slowly advanced, he was just a child, but he suddenly understood a lot of things, why the relationship between the ten children who entered the forest was so cold.
Because only one of them can survive, the gap between them cannot be bridged, and everyone wants to survive is themselves.
If it weren't for the ghosts not allowing them to kill each other, they would probably have already started a fight.
Only one survived, so why did Yang Xinmeng save him?
Is it just in good intentions?
Zhou Fan remembered that his relationship with Yang Xinmeng in the village was not very good, what was the purpose of saving him?
If it is out of malice, then ......
When Zhou Fan thought of this, his pupils suddenly shrank, because of Zhao Xiaojian, who had become a ghost.
The two of them are together, if Zhao Xiaojian finds them, they will eat one, and the other may be able to escape.
Zhou Fan stood still, not to mention that Yang Xinmeng's relationship with him was not good, even if the relationship was good here, he couldn't believe it.
Yang Xinmeng kept an eye on her back, and when she heard that there was no movement behind her, she turned to look at Zhou Fan, and said with a calm face: "Do you know the reason why I saved you?"
"You saved me because you wanted to use me as a shield?" Zhou Fan asked with vigilant eyes.
"You can say that, but I can't do anything to you, even digging a trap to trap you will be considered a violation of the rules by the Hidden Forest, and only stopping you and saving you like I did just now is not a violation of the rules. Yang Xinmeng explained.
"If you remember, you know I'm telling the truth, so not only can I use you as a shield, but you can also use me as a shield, and if the ghost finds the two of us, then it's up to who runs faster, or whose luck is better. ”
Zhou Fan frowned silently, Yang Xinmeng didn't lie.
"Of course, since you have found out, if you don't want to, you can choose to stay away from me and find another place to hide. Yang Xinmeng shrugged indifferently, turned around and continued to walk.
Zhou Fan hesitated for a moment, but continued to follow, and he asked, "You are so confident that you can run faster than me?"
Yang Xinmeng is just a girl, how can she run faster than herself?
