    The word "random" is extremely disgusting here. Because there are no routines and rules to talk about, and there is no way to respond and avoid it, all by luck.

    Ke Xun glanced at Mu Yiran next to him, and saw that he was motionless, like a white stone statue, even breathing was barely audible.

    Ke Xun retracted his gaze and listened to the thick and slow gasp of the giant shadow, and subconsciously adjusted his breathing to match it. With the gasps of the giant shadow covering it, Ke Xun could hardly hear his own breathing. .

    The giant shadow finally came to the tent of the two of them. Ke Xun saw that its eight fat arms seemed to be uncontrollable, dancing in the air. Between these arms, a big black round thing was just Covered by the top of the tent, Ke Xun guessed that it was the head of the giant shadow. It seemed to be crouching down, putting its head close to the tent.

    The gasp suddenly sounded above his head, and Ke Xun vaguely saw the two eyes on the huge head blinking slowly through the thin tent leather.

    It is looking into the tent.

    Ke Xun closed his eyes subconsciously.

    The feeling of being stared at by something indescribable, it is indescribable, because it is hard to predict whether this thing will stretch out its huge palm and pinch them out of the tent in the next second. Go out, and then throw it into its blood basin.

    Ke Xun expects it to leave quickly, but the gasp over his head stays in place unhurriedly, and he always looks at Ke Xun and Mu Yiran in the tent.

    The longer the time, the tighter the nerves and the more emotional breakdown, like the tip of a knife hanging above the head, I don't know when it will fall, but it is more reassuring than falling early.

    Ke Xun's cold sweat was already involuntarily perspiring, and a heart was about to burst in his chest. If it weren't for this giant shadow's gasps, he might have heard his heartbeat.

    Such a situation was placed under the blade. I don't know how long it has passed. The gasp finally moved away from the ears. The giant shadow moved its legs and slowly walked towards another tent.

    Ke Xun relaxed the muscles that had been tight for too long, opened his eyes and turned his face to look at Mu Yiran.

    Mu Yiran was lying on his side, only half of the curved jaw and one eye were exposed in the light and shadow.

    Neither of them moved any more, listening quietly to the outside movement.

    It didn't take too long, and a sad scream exploded among the tent groups.

    Ke Xun couldn’t tell who made it because the voice was too harsh. He turned his face to look in the direction of the sound, and saw that the giant shadow was pulling a man out of the tent with one hand. , This man struggled frantically, but couldn't break away from the giant shadow's hands.

    The giant shadow carried him like a young mouse. It straightened up and stood upright. The man was lifted into the air by it. The giant shadow’s other arms, which were still twisting and dancing, suddenly stretched forward, stout. 'S fingers held the person's head, limbs and torso respectively.

    Then, gently pull.

    Ke Xun closed his eyes.

    But still let the image of thick blood and viscera spilling on the retina.

    Ke Xun finally heard the screams, which belonged to the young man Tan Zheng.

    The middle-aged man said that they must account for both. So the one who died tonight was Tan Zheng, who had drawn his own account.

    When the day was about to dawn, all the frozen shadows trembled again with the wind. The tent was a little cold and the wind leaked from all around. Ke Xun moved his numb body, sat up, and saw that Mu Yiran had lifted the curtain. Went out.

    Ke Xun followed out and took a look in the direction where Tan Zheng was caught last night. He saw that the gray flowered rocky ground was sprayed with red blood spots and Tan Zheng's broken limbs were thrown everywhere.

    Several newcomers were terrified. The beauty named Li Ziling fainted from fear at the time, and has not woken up yet. Zhou Bin’s girlfriend Zhao Dan vomited directly in the tent. Wei Dong was covered with dirt. Looking around for something to shave.

    Ma Zhenhua was scared to pee. Hui Bai squatted outside the tent with a face, and from time to time she had the courage to look at the direction of Tan Zheng's death. Qin Ci and Mu Yiran were converging their severed limbs and then covered them with a torn blanket.

    Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran: "The head is missing."

    "Yeah." Mu Yiran looked at the sky above, "That thing is taken away."

    Qin Ci said: "It seems that the rules this time are actually very simple. Only those who live in a tent alone will die."

    "So now we have twelve people left, no one will be alone tonight, does it mean that no one will die again?" Ke Xun walked over and said.

    Qin Ci looked down: "Obviously this is not good news. If you are not dead, just vote."

    Someone will die.

    Compared with those who have been in painting before, the acceptance and adaptability of the newcomers are much worse. Until they gathered in the biggest tent that the middle-aged man said, the faces of several people were still very ugly, and they almost scared the road. Can't walk.

    The middle-aged man was already waiting in the tent, looking at the crowd with bleak eyes: "The sacrifice will be held on the seventh day. You must respect the sacrifices, namely: Five Hui Lu, Wu Gong Meat, Dome, Licensing, Offering bowls, lamps, gala, dangka..."

    Following a series of strange nouns spit out from the man's mouth, everyone looked at each other, but Mu Yiran's complexion grew darker.

    "We will gather here after dark. Let's have breakfast now." The middle-aged man left the tent after speaking. The food was already on the ground table behind him.

    Breakfast consists of loose and crushed pasta made of coarse grains, milk tea separated from water and milk, and a few pieces of sour yellow cheese. Everyone does not know the taste, and a few newcomers do not move their mouths.

    "Eat some more, no, I don't have the energy to support it." Wei Dong sat next to Li Ziling and comforted him.

    "Will it be poisonous here?" Li Ziling's eyes were red and swollen from crying. He may not cry anymore at this moment, and asked Wei Dong dumbly.

    "No, don't worry. It just tastes a little disgusting, but it's better than nothing," Wei Dong said.

    Ke Xun and Mu Yiran sitting next to each other whispered: "That person just chanted a bunch of things, is it all related to the Suotuo Sect?"

    Mu Yiran put down the tea bowl in his hand, and his voice was slightly cold: "It depends on which branch of Su Tuo teaches."

    Barely filling his stomach, Zhou Bin among the newcomers was the first to relax and look at Mu Yiran and Qin Ci: "What kind of seals do you call the artist, where does it usually appear? Or, In what form will it appear?"

    Qin Ci replied: "Every painting is different. This is not true. Based on the several paintings we have entered before, there are usually two ways to find the seal. One is to crack the painter’s painting. The intention of the painting, or the secret hidden in it, is what we call "breaking the game". One is to complete the task set by the world in the painting, where the seal is located, and the clues provided in the painting, and ourselves The penetrating meaning of the painting has a very close relationship."

    "But how did this game break? I can't figure it out at all!" Zhou Bin was anxious.

    Qin Ci said: "In fact, we didn't feel the way. We can't find clues just by waiting. During the day, we can look around."

    "How can I find someone who has no brains?" Zhou Bin asked.

    The glasses girl Sha Liu suddenly interrupted: "I think the clue may be related to the ritual supplies that the person just mentioned."

    Qin Ci nodded slightly: "This is probably equivalent to the task set for us, so if we find a way to complete it, there may be gains."

    Zhou Bin hurriedly said, "What are you waiting for, let's leave now!"

    His girlfriend Zhao Dan held his arm: "But what are those things? I don't understand at all. Meat, wine and lanterns are okay, the others sound like foreign languages?"

    Sha Liu helped the glasses on the bridge of her nose: "I feel that this place is a bit like the Ganxiong Plateau, where the Suotuo religion is popular. Have you seen the colored flags standing in the distance? This is a very obvious sign. , Then the string of nouns that the person mentioned just now, I think it is the artifacts in the local language."

    Zhou Bin said: "Then we just need to find these things, right? Get out quickly, find them early, and leave this ghost place early!"

    Qin Ci glanced at the crowd and said, "Of course you are looking for things, but you shouldn't just look for them in a mess. Twelve of us, I suggest dividing them into four groups and going in four directions. They will return at noon. Come here to communicate about progress and gains."

    No one had any objections, Zhou Bin asked: "How to group?"

    Ma Zhenhua staggered and threw himself in front of Mu Yiran: "Can I be with you? Please, please!"

    Upon seeing this, Li Ziling also got up and ran over, hugging Mu Yiran's arm, looking at him pitifully: "Brother, I want to be with you too, please, I'm afraid..."

    Ke Xun: "..."

    Weidong: "..."

    Sha Liu looked at Ke Xun: "Can I be with you?"

    Ke Xun: "..."

    Weidong: "..."

    Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran and Ke Xun: "Is it so decided?"

    Ke Xun: "I don't agree."

    Weidong: "+1."

    Qin Ci: "So, are you still drawing lots to decide?"

    Zhou Bin frowned: "Why do you have to draw lots to decide everything? Time is running out, what are you still waiting for!"

    "He's right," Ke Xun said, "If it's too bad for him to separate from his girlfriend, it's daytime, not night, so I can do the task with someone I know well. According to me, Zhou Bin and his girlfriend must be in the same group. This eldest brother Geng's family of three cannot be separated. The two sisters are classmates and both are girls. It is inconvenient to separate and the other is unaccompanied, so they cannot be separated. Are you right? ?"

    Zhou Bin and the family of three nodded.

    Mu Yiran glanced at Ke Xun blankly, thinking that this guy was going to be a monster.

    After hearing this, the guy continued: "This makes it easy to divide up. Twelve people are divided into four groups, with three people in each group. Those who are accompanied cannot be separated. Those who are alone need to be put into a group with partners.

    "Based on the companions, they are divided into four groups, namely Zhou Bin's young couple, Geng's family of three, two sisters, me and Wei Dong, Geng's family of three are in one group, and the remaining three are divided into the other three. group.

    "The two girls are both girls, and they are the most vulnerable group. They need a mature, reliable man with emergency skills to escort him. This man is none other than Doctor Qin. In case the two girls have a headache, brain fever, feet or something, Dr. Qin can provide treatment in time.

    "Ma Zhenhua went to the Zhou Bin young couple group. There is a difference in age. It is much more convenient than the same age as me, Wei Dong and Xiaomu brother, mixing with your young couple.

    "That's why the group is divided, do you have any comments?"

    Mu Yiran: "..." I knew it was so.
