I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

According to the description of the chief animal tamer, Shenpan City should be a prosperous big city, full of powerful people and guarded by the guardian black gold tiger.

According to legend, as long as you come to Shenpan City, you can see a hundred-meter-high black and golden tiger statue at the entrance, majestic and towering, shocking everyone.

However, when Zhang Yangqing actually arrived, the scene before him was horrifying.

Only half of the hundred-meter-long statue remained, the tiger head was missing, and the broken parts were covered with charred marks, as if it had suffered a punishment from heaven.

The entire city was shrouded in a strange gray fog. Weathered human skeletons were scattered at the entrance. A few broken street lamps flickered, illuminating the mottled city walls like a ghost town.

A rusty iron plate was inserted diagonally into the pile of corpses, with the twelve survival rules of Shenpan City written on it in dark red paint:

[Rule 1: If you find black spots on your skin, burn the affected area with flame immediately. ]

[Rule 2: There are no lakes in the city. If you see water, please close your eyes until the lake disappears.]

[Rule 3: Everything you see during the day is an illusion, only the night reveals the truth. ]

[Rule 4: Winged horses will not appear at night. If you encounter one at night, please play dead until the cock crows.]

[Rule 5: There are gifts buried under the guardian statue in the city center, but don't dig it up on a full moon night.]

[Rule 6: When you hear a baby crying, make sure your shadow is always in front.]

[Rule 7: When vendors call out "fresh mermaids," remember that they have never seen the sea.]

[Rule 8: The clock tower in the square always points to three o'clock. If you find that the time has changed, please escape immediately. ]

[Rule 9: When your pet starts counting, cut its throat.]

[Rule 10: Don't trust any law enforcer wearing a silver mask. ]

[Rule 11: There is an entrance to the moon in the sky. If you can get in, you can go cut down a tree and bring it back.]

[Rule 12: Find the leader's badge, or find the leader and bring him back to the circus to settle the account.]

Zhang Yangqing was looking at the iron plate, but strange noises came from the distance, like countless insect legs crawling on the stone road, or like some creature gnawing at bones with its sharp teeth.

This is enough to show that a disaster has befallen this city and the danger level is extremely high.

The information provided by the Chief Tamer is from a few years ago, and most of it is probably not going to be used.

As the chosen one, you have to start analyzing the rules normally.

Rule 1 is to remind the Chosen Ones to find a way to prepare fire props, otherwise it will be very dangerous.

Flame props include lighters, matches, exotic beasts with fire attributes, etc.

Zhang Yangqing doesn’t have it on him yet, but he can find it.

Rule 2 seems to be just a hint, and there are not many clues for the time being.

When Zhang Yangqing saw Rule 3, he was thinking.

“I remember that the chief animal trainer was active here during the day, and then he saw that the leader of the Scorpio Circus was in an abnormal condition. Perhaps the strange incidents started to appear at that time?

Or maybe there were already some strange stories going on at that time, and the leader was actually in a special state?"

Because the rules say that the real scene will only appear at night, and it is night now, and the sky is full of dark clouds.

Then a pitfall appears, which is connected to the pitfall in Rule 5.

Rule 5 reminds the Chosen One that gifts can only be dug in the city center on nights other than the full moon.

But now we can’t tell whether it is a full moon or not. Do we need to find some proof?

For example, a pet may undergo physical changes on a full-moon night, even if the moon is not visible.

Then as long as it is abnormal, it means it is a full moon night.

These are just Zhang Yangqing’s assumptions, and he will need to look for intelligence when he goes in later.

There are many rules related to the night in this ghost story, including Rule 4. In Zhang Yangqing's opinion, since the rules mentioned a winged horse, we can roughly infer it based on the subsequent rules.

The winged horse should be a terrifying creature at the level of a fantasy beast. It is very aggressive, but it does not attack corpses.

As long as the Chosen One plays dead, he will most likely not be attacked.

The next ones are particularly dangerous rules, which make Zhang Yangqing feel like they are a huge pitfall.

Whenever you hear a baby crying, make sure your shadow is always in front.

Then it’s still the same old question. There are dark clouds everywhere and there is no shadow at all. Where do you want me to find a shadow?

"Tsk, are the rules telling me that if I want to go in without any accidents, I must clear the dark clouds."

It sounds ridiculous, but I feel that this is the primary goal, and we need to achieve this condition quickly.

Zhang Yangqing was also thinking about a solution. Perhaps there were some strange or magical beasts that could control the weather.

This ability is too high-end. Combined with the "uniqueness" of the fantasy beasts, Zhang Yangqing thinks that most of them are fantasy beasts.

It is not impossible that there are some props and plants that can dispel dark clouds.

But Zhang Yangqing felt that the probability of it being a fantasy beast was higher, after all, he was a beast tamer.

Rule 7 mentioned "fresh mermaids". Zhang Yangqing was no stranger to mermaids, having encountered them in the strange story of the salvors.

But the rules then say that they have never seen the sea.

Many chosen ones were curious: these merchants had never seen the sea, so where did the mermaids come from?
Zhang Yangqing felt that there was too much that could be explained here.

For example, these mermaids are domesticated and reproduce on their own.

Or it could be said to be a synthesis, by cutting both the man and the fish in half and then splicing them together.

This is a world of ghost stories, where all kinds of strange things can happen.

There is also a third possibility, that is, these people violated some rules and were turned into mermaids.

Zhang Yangqing prefers the third one, because he thinks the word "fresh" is very special.

If it is the third one, then the system prompts like this to tell the Chosen One to find a way to get these mermaids and help them solve their problems, and there may be unexpected gains.

Whether this harvest is intelligence or treasure, that is not known.

But since the rules mentioned it, Zhang Yangqing would definitely go find these things, then talk to the vendors and get some information.

Rule 8 states that the clock in the square is always at three o'clock.

Zhang Yangqing felt that there were several explanations for this.

Perhaps the bell is a prop to prevent the strangeness from erupting again and it cannot be destroyed.

In other words, if they encounter any danger, the chosen one can simply turn the hands of the clock and end up dying together.

Of course, if there was a chosen one wondering whether the clock was broken, Zhang Yangqing would be speechless.

Zhang Yangqing felt that the most dangerous one was naturally Rule 9.

[Rule 9: When your pet starts counting, cut its throat.]

With just one glance, Zhang Yangqing could see many pitfalls.

The Chosen One is a very weak animal trainer who relies on the help of his pet.

If a pet is bewitched and attacks its trainer, the trainer's mortality rate is very high.

The so-called counting is a trap.
