This is a plot space called the Strange Box, and all the scenery in the space is a fantasy, horror and uncertainty.
The animals and plants in the space can be talking, tools or food. However, these animals and plants are different from those that Yun Qishen sees every day, or they are completely different.
Just like the tree made of brain tissue he saw just now, and the birds and beasts made of strips of flesh that were born from the tree.
Everything around him was like eating poisonous fungi, causing weird hallucinations.
Following Dahua's guidance, Yun Qishen left Naoshu and walked onto the road leading to the royal city.
The road was still changing, almost opening up a bottomless pit where Yun Qishen was about to step forward. Fortunately, Yun Qishen noticed quickly and did not fall into the bottomless pit.
"It seems that getting to the royal city is not a simple matter." Yun Qishen muttered while curious about the competition Dahua mentioned.
After walking for a while, Yun Qishen saw some moving plants with thin black legs swarming towards one place.
Out of curiosity, Yun Qishen had no choice but to deviate from the road leading to the royal city and follow the small plants to observe.
"No, no, no, you can't eat this!"
"No, no, these eyes are edible!"
"No, no, no, your hair is edible!"
"No, no, you can eat all of these!"
The sharp sounds seemed to form a language, which sounded like tinnitus in Yun Qi's ears, but because of his ability to spy, he was able to understand the meaning of the chirping of these small plants.
Can it be eaten? What can be eaten?
Yun Qishen still cast a suspicious and curious look. He only saw these thumb-sized flowers and grass covering an adult-sized object. They were crowded and jumping on it, and they didn't seem to be eating anything.
He didn't know what attracted Yun Qishen, but he just kept staring. When he came back to his senses, those thumb-sized plants had disappeared, and in front of Yun Qishen, there was a white skeleton lying in place of the adult-sized object.
They were neither human bones nor animal bones. They were more like plant roots, but they were made of bones.
This white bone blends with the weird scenery just now, and it is constantly changing its appearance.
weird? Can't tell. fear? Not at all.
For Yun Qishen, who was very afraid of skeletons and ghosts, he had no resistance to the white bones of a plant.
"Hey, new friend. You're almost late! You must arrive at the royal city before sunset! The game is about to begin, otherwise you will be caught by the guards and thrown down!"
After Yun Qishen heard the sound, he quickly located the source of the sound, which was the sound coming from the plant bones in front of him.
living?
Yun Qishen didn't look like it.
Are there other strange things around?
Yun Qishen looked around again, but found nothing.
At the same time, he became even more curious, because the voice just now said the same thing as Dahua before.
It seems that the game is a very important thing.
Yun Qishen took out the big flower that was given to him and placed it gently on the side of the plant's bones. He then stood up and stepped onto the road to the royal city again.
This time the road was much smoother than before. There were no mutated scenery or strange things around.
When Yun Qishen saw the guards guarding the royal city, he also took out the leaf token issued by the mushroom man.
"He's new!"
"I can tell he's new here!"
"He still has the token in his hand!"
"I can see he still has the token in his hand!"
"Hey! Are you going against me?"
"I can see you're going against me!"
The soldiers guarding the royal city were two balls. They looked more like berries like blueberries, but they were purple all over and didn't look very tasty.
Before Yun Qishen handed over the leaf token to the guards for inspection, the guards here started to argue. Yun Qishen saw that their quarrel became more and more fierce, and then one of the soldiers directly stabbed Berry's belly.
"You really deserve it!"
The berry soldier proudly pulled out his spear.
The other berry soldiers fell to the ground and became a puddle of blue-purple berries.
"No, no, no, you can't eat this!"
"No, no, these berries are edible!"
There were those sharp tinnitus sounds again, and Yun Qishen knew clearly that those little plants just now were here again. It's just that this time Yun Qishen didn't pay too much attention. He handed the leaf token to the only guard soldier for inspection and then successfully walked into the royal city.
It was at this time that a round, fat hand suddenly appeared in the sky, and suddenly it slapped the sun to the ground and pushed it down hard.
This is called the sun setting.
"I caught up, but I don't know what it will be like to go back to the royal city after the sun sets..."
Just as Yun Qishen was thinking about it, he turned around and saw that the latecomers had already been poked and amused by the berry soldiers. Soon, Yun Qishen smelled the smell of roasted vegetables.
But to be honest, there is still some flavor missing.
Yun Qishen walked into the royal city, and he only saw some passers-by who looked flustered and mentally disturbed. They all muttered about wanting to be the husband of some duke, because only in that way could they get out of the maze safely.
Yun Qishen originally didn't care about so many trivial things, but when he appeared on the stand for the game, he couldn't help but see the Duke.
Although the title of that thing is Duke, it is just a female monster. It is about three meters tall, and its head is a very large and beautiful rose flower in full bloom. The color of the rose will change according to the Duke's moods and sorrows.
Red represents love and romance, blue represents depression and anger, and yellow represents happiness and intoxication.
This is the most information Yun Qishen has gotten so far about the Duke.
At this moment, there are many strange-looking contestants gathered outside the competition maze.
Stones with eyes and large stick insects covered with spider legs were all trivial things. What surprised Yun Qishen the most was another one, just like the animals and plants he encountered before that were composed of nerve threads and strips of flesh. Weird guys.
The brains, which were made of the ears of various animals, were covered with downy things that were crawling on the ground. The disgusting thing was not the shape, but the number of them. Just like the cubs of ordinary rotworms gathering together, they are so densely packed that people can’t help but scratch their arms.
But who could have thought of it? Those brainworms made of ears are the husbands of the Duke.
Yun Qishen raised her head and looked at the Duke at the finish line. The Duke at the moment was red. She was excitedly announcing to all the monsters who came to participate in the competition:
【The game has begun! Sacrifice yourselves for my happiness, my dear husbands. 】
