Chapter 220 If we start from 1 and fight to the end
What kind of game is this? Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, their confusion only growing.
"Then how will the outcome be determined?" Cui Chou drew his sword, his rough, hoarse voice devoid of any emotion.
"If one is unwilling to reveal what one saw in the bead, nor can one tell the secrets of others, then one will naturally die."
The shadowy figure curled his lips into a wicked smile, his voice filled with schadenfreude, "The one who survives to the end is the winner."
"I don't have time to play this kind of boring game with you."
"What did you do to my junior sister? The silver dragon is not your toy, let it go!"
Two voices rang out simultaneously. Fei Xi gave her junior brother a wink, and with a palm strike and a sword strike, they once again attacked the shadowy figure from the left and right in perfect unison.
A series of "hohoho" laughs echoed through the woods. The shadowy figure, having finished laughing, spoke with a mysterious tone:
"You have no choice now. Not playing the game means certain death. Begin!"
With a shout of "Activate!", a blinding white light erupted from the ground.
Apart from the shadowy figure and Mu Qingfeng, the white light seemed to have found a host and instantly entered the bodies of everyone present.
The white light entered her body, and Fei Xi felt nothing unusual. However, her mind seemed to be locked in place, and her heart began to pound wildly, uncontrollably.
Fei Xi forced herself to calm down, trying to recall when the other party had set up the grand formation. As she pondered this, a sudden inspiration struck her:
"Did you set up the formation when the black smoke obscured our vision? Were you just wasting time talking to us to set up the formation and buy us time?"
"If you think so, then so be it. There's no reward for guessing correctly."
As the shadowy figure finished speaking, the black smoke around him gradually dissipated, finally revealing his true form.
The person before her could no longer be called the shadowy figure. He wore a pair of frameless gray glasses, had the appearance of a refined scoundrel, and wore a wicked smile that revealed his mockery. While responding to Fei Xi, he also rolled his eyes at her.
Fei Xi's anger flared up under that mocking gaze, and she wished she could strangle this bastard to death right then and there!
The bespectacled man arrogantly landed on the ground, ignoring all the murderous looks he received, and calmly walked to the campfire and sat down.
The water sphere containing the silver dragon followed closely behind the bespectacled man, floating to his left shoulder. He smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, and a fist-sized ball of light appeared out of thin air in his right hand.
"Find a place to sit down, the game is about to begin. Let me introduce myself, my name is Somo. If anyone unfortunately dies later and goes to the underworld, at least they will know who killed them."
"So, should I thank you?"
"If you have such thoughts, then you're in danger. I won't go easy on you just because you're a masochist."
Yu Heng, who retorted, clenched his fists, veins bulging, cursing inwardly, "How can there be such a despicable person in the world who can't even hear the sarcasm in my words?"
He was clearly mocking us!
And the term "masochist" doesn't sound like a nice thing at all!
Initially, Yu Heng and his colleagues wanted to sit back and watch the two sides fight, hoping that both sides would be severely injured so that he could reap the benefits and seize the silver dragon.
However, the bespectacled man's formation was already complete, and even if he wanted to make a move, he couldn't use any techniques against the bespectacled man in front of him.
This feeling was exactly the same as when they had promised not to attack Boss Qiu in the main hall, but were unable to even defend themselves.
His body seemed to be controlled by some force, making it impossible for him to act according to his will.
"Senior Su, what exactly do you want? Just tell me, and I'm ready to obey your orders." Dongfang Rui also realized that he couldn't bring himself to attack the man in front of him.
No wonder the other party is willing to show their true colors now.
Knowing how to bend and stretch, he immediately bowed down and fawned over the seemingly young-looking bespectacled man in front of him.
"You'd do anything I ask?"
"It is my honor to serve my seniors."
"Shameless!" Luo Dalun couldn't stand it any longer and cursed angrily.
Dongfang Rui, however, didn't take it to heart and instead responded confidently:
"A wise man knows when to yield, and besides, Senior Su has never really made things difficult for us. If you want anything, please feel free to ask, and I will do anything for you, even go through fire and water."
"You really want to do anything? Then go die." The bespectacled man still had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were as cold as ice as he stared at Dongfang Rui, whose face turned deathly pale after hearing his words.
"I hate people who think they're so smart, I have megalophobia, and I hate idiots the most."
The insults were straightforward and easy to understand. The crowd was already dissatisfied with Dongfang Rui's despicable behavior, and they couldn't help but want to laugh, but they tried their best to hold back.
Ji Zhongxuan coughed lightly.
"Let us leave. I don't have time to play games with you."
“That won’t do. If you don’t want to save this silver dragon, your girlfriend beside you won’t be able to.”
Upon hearing this, Fei Xi, who was looking down to take care of her junior sister, looked up.
"We shouldn't have stopped attacking and wasting our breath talking to you. If we had united from the beginning and fought you to the death at any cost, we might have had a chance to survive."
“You have been deceiving us by not resisting but only dodging, making us mistakenly believe that you will not really hurt us. Like toying with mice, you have made us think that we can escape time and time again, but in reality, everything is under your control. Your goal is to play us all to death.”
"You're saying all this to try and get them to unite? What a pity." The bespectacled man looked around, his smirk fading, and for the first time, his eyes, reflected in his glasses, became serious.
"It's a pity, but abandon all illusions and it's never too late to fight."
Fei Xi gently carried her junior sister to the campfire and settled her down, then sat down opposite the bespectacled man.
"If someone is unwilling to reveal what they saw after touching the bead, then how can one effectively reveal another person's secret?"
"Very good. You should just play this game obediently. You asked a very important question. As long as it is a secret that no one else present knows except you, it can be considered valid."
“Then I’ll say that the sow at Wang Po’s house down the mountain had seven piglets last year, something none of you except me knew, would work?” Fei Xi had a sudden inspiration and held up her finger as an example.
"You can give it a try. Just a friendly reminder, you'll die if you fail the dare three times."
The hypocrite opposite her smiled even more broadly, and Fei Xi pouted, reluctantly indicating that she understood.
Seeing Fei Xi sit down, the others also found a seat and sat down.
Ji Zhongxuan's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he sat down next to Fei Xi without saying a word.
"Very good, there are 6 people in total. Let the game begin."
As the bespectacled man finished speaking, the orb of light floated eerily above the campfire and then began to spin rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the ball of light suddenly stopped and flew to Fei Xi's side.
Some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others frowned and looked worried.
"Put your hands up."
The voice from the glasses seemed to possess an irresistible magic, and Fei Xi's hand reached out towards the ball of light in front of her almost uncontrollably.
Everyone else stared at her with solemn expressions, watching as her expression changed from blank to fearful and uneasy. Her pupils widened slightly as if she had seen something terrifying, and her already pale face became even more bloodless. Her lips were also pressed tightly together into a bloodless line due to excessive tension.
Her breathing became increasingly rapid, her chest heaving violently, and cold sweat poured down her forehead like a summer downpour, hitting the ground. She felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, her body trembling uncontrollably, and beneath her pale and terrified expression, her broken throat emitted distorted "woo-woo" sounds, which sounded like a desperate lament.
The others watched with a tightness in their throats and a sense of unease, unconsciously clenching their arms.
Without further hesitation, Ji Zhongxuan stepped forward, knocked away the ball of light, and supported the swaying Fei Xi.
The bespectacled man snapped his fingers in a cheerful mood, and the ball of light rolled off the ground, floated back up, and flew back to his fingertip.
"Truth or dare, you can choose now."
Fei Xi, who was being supported by her junior brother, had not yet fully woken up from the nightmare. She raised her head, her eyes glazed over, seemingly not understanding what the bespectacled man was saying. Her eyes were unfocused as she looked at him.
The bespectacled man's smile grew even brighter, his head tilted as if he were savoring something, a hint of excitement subtly revealed in his expression.
After a long while, Fei Xi finally spoke a few words in a hoarse voice:
"A great...adventure, I choose...great adventure..."
Upon hearing this, the smile on the bespectacled man's face vanished instantly, replaced by utter disappointment. He waved his hand impatiently.
"Then tell me quickly."
"The previous abbot of the Shaolin School had 37 illegitimate children among the common people."
