Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

Upon hearing this shout, the bald man at the very back immediately became agitated.

The other people weren't in much better spirits either.

What the heck... there are two gray wolves now?

Which one is true?

Is this some kind of ghost story?!

"Captain, what's your ranking right now?" the bald man asked hurriedly.

"How would I know which number I am?" said the wolf. "Don't believe what you just said..."

"I was first in line. There was no one in front of me. I was the one leading the way just now."

The second wolf's voice rang out: "Don't believe anything other ghosts say, and don't let go yet. Let's count off from front to back, and use hand-pinching as a signal. I'll go first, one!"

After she finished speaking, she squeezed the hand of her teammate who was standing behind her.

The man immediately replied, "Two!"

And following suit, he squeezed the other person's hand.

"three!"

"Four!"

"five!"

The counting was completed quickly.

Everything is normal.

However, this apparent normalcy made everyone's hearts leap into their throats.

Because of the dense fog, they had no way to pinpoint their teammates' exact locations based on the shouts.

It was only possible to make a rough judgment about the direction from which the sound was coming.

As for whether it was the person squeezing your hand who made the sound... it's good enough if you can still hear it; there's no way to know such details.

This creates a problem—the second wolf didn't speak this time and completed the count normally, so... where does this wolf stand?

Who are those two people holding her... or rather, its hands?

The wolf at the front also realized the problem and quickly reminded everyone, "Don't let go! If you let go now, you'll be left alone and in even greater danger!"

"Captain! Aren't you asking a bit too much?" The bald man at the back couldn't help but say, "Who knows what kind of monster has infiltrated the team? You want us to carry it with us the whole way? That's bullshit!"

"I'm not negotiating with you! I'm giving you an order!" Canglang said impatiently, "If you want to die, let go!"

"..." The bald man dared not speak.

He just hoped that Canglang could offer more reliable suggestions, but he dared not actually let go.

Canglang then continued, "I didn't say that just now."

"...Damn it!" The bald man exclaimed in surprise, "When will this thing ever end?!"

He immediately squeezed his teammate's hand and asked, "Brother, did you hear where that thing's voice came from? I can only tell it came from ahead."

“I also heard it was up ahead,” the man replied.

"Me too."

"Me too."

The other two gave the same answer.

The wolf at the front said, "I heard it coming from behind."

If that's the case... the fake wolf is actually right behind her?

She was holding the hand of some unknown, ghostly thing.

After forcibly suppressing the urge to let go, Canglang frowned and said, "Mongo, I'll count to three, then I'll squeeze your hand, and you immediately squeeze mine in response."

"Good, good."

Mengo, who was in second place, also realized that there was likely a fake wolf between him and the real wolf, and immediately responded with fear.

"Three, two, one!"

The wolf finished shouting quickly.

However, she did not squeeze her hands.

She was trying to trick that thing into thinking it was really behind her.

result……

"Captain?" Mongo reminded him.

"..."

Canglang's face was very ugly.

They didn't manage to trick them out!

It's a bit hard to tell now whether there's a person or a ghost behind her.

"...Forget it, let's ignore it." Canglang said, "This thing is definitely trying to keep us here. Let's ignore it and continue escaping in the direction we came from. Follow me!"

After saying that, she walked forward, giving a pull to the people behind her.

The fake wolf was trying to stall, and the others could see that too.

Just ignore it and keep moving forward.

Therefore, no one objected to Canglang's suggestion.

As Canglang walked, he said, "We call out the numbers every half minute to make sure no one falls behind. Everyone keep up!"

The first round of counting was completed quickly.

When it was the second round, "Four!"

The player in fourth place called out his number and squeezed the hand of the bald man behind him.

But... there has been no response for a long time.

"Four!"

He had to repeat it, but still got nowhere.

at the same time.

The bald man at the very back silently counted down the seconds.

Half a minute later, he heard no sound from ahead.

The bald man immediately became alert.

He waited another ten seconds, and when no one responded, he couldn't stay calm any longer. He quickly squeezed the hand of the person in front of him and asked, "Brother, why aren't you counting anymore?"

"..."

His question was met with silence.

The bald man's heart jumped: "Brother?"

"..."

Still no response.

Oh no… The bald man immediately realized that the fake wolf had been right in front of him all along!

At this moment, the thick fog obscured the vision of every player.

So no one saw a slender figure nearly two meters tall sandwiched between the fourth and fifth players.

The slender figure's arms were stretched to over 10 meters each, which directly increased the distance between the fourth and fifth players to over 20 meters.

At this distance, the dense fog is enough to block all communication.

The slender figure made a new move the next second.

Its neck stretched forward, bringing its ferocious head between the first wolf and the second, Mengo.

It mimicked the voice of a gray wolf, shouting, "Don't go any further! This fake has ruined one of our teammates! I'm restricted in my movements and can't keep talking... Don't believe her!"

"Damn...!"

The real wolf shouted immediately, "It's between the fourth and fifth positions! Yuji, let go!"

Upon hearing the warning, Yugi immediately let go.

Actually, even without Canglang's reminder, as soon as the bald man behind him stopped participating in the counting, he felt cold all over from fear and had the thought of letting go.

On the other side, Yugi's letting go left the bald man completely alone.

This seems to be a signal.

The slender monster retracted its extended head and arms, focusing all its attention on the bald man behind it.

Its body grew increasingly thin and long, and like a rope, it quickly wrapped around the bald man, tightening its grip more and more.

Sensing the danger, the bald man immediately expanded his body and began to fight back.

He grabbed the flesh of the unknown monster that was entangled around him and began to tear it apart with force.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't tear the monster's body apart.

The bald man felt like he was tearing a rubber band, which kept getting longer and longer.

"Help!"

"Come back and save me!"

"You idiots..."

Feeling his body being constantly squeezed, with several ribs already broken, the bald man cried out for help in fear.

Unfortunately, the sound only traveled a few meters into the fog before being swallowed up.

The bald man's struggling movements became less and less intense.

His bones were crushed, his internal organs were burst, and his eyeballs were pushed out of their sockets... Bang! His head exploded, and brain matter mixed with blood splattered all over the ground.

The slender monster stretched out its meter-long scarlet tongue and began greedily licking the brain matter off the ground.

The bald man, whose misfortune had been transferred to Fan Xiao, became the first player to die in the instance.

After killing the bald man, the slender monster did not continue to pursue the four members of the Azure Wolf Clan, who had already disappeared.

Countless monsters roam this misty place.

……

"A bus station? How could it be a bus station!"

After abandoning the bald man, Canglang led his remaining three teammates to move quickly away from the unknown monster.

However, what awaited them was a situation that filled everyone with despair—they arrived at… or rather, returned to the bus station.

After going around in circles, experiencing an incredibly dangerous crisis, and losing a teammate... I'm back to square one.

Even Canglang's mentality was starting to crumble.

Ghost hitting the wall?

Or are there other rules?

"It's not that simple after all!" Mengo said. "It seems we won't be able to leave this place without going to Red and White Village. The clue to the exit is in Red and White Village!"

"Catch up with that bus! Force your way on!"

With a grim expression, Canglang made a decision: "I've noted down the direction the bus is heading. Although it's foggy now, if we carefully compare the terrain and determine its location, we should be able to catch up at our speed."

After saying that, she led the way out.

Perhaps because we've escaped the monster we encountered before, the fog is much thinner now, and visibility is about seven or eight meters.

Finding the direction the bus left by referring to the terrain should not be a problem.

Mongo, Yugi, and another bearded male player followed closely behind the Azure Wolf.

All three of them were already harboring resentment towards Canglang. After all, it was Canglang who suggested escaping, and yet he had dragged them into such a terrible mess...
