"No, no, ah~~~"
...........
Listening to the screams of those who were trying to break out of the edge zone, and the sound of black thunder that seemed to hit the depths of the soul, making people extremely shaken, everyone did not dare to act rashly anymore, "Don't panic, everyone. There is a powerful spiritual formation restriction on the outside here. If you run out casually, you will be killed by those powerful black thunders. Everyone, calm down first~~"
At this moment, as the royal family present, Long Yi took the initiative to take the lead. Seeing that many people had died on the spot due to panic and running for their lives, he quickly summoned the royal guards and elders of the entire Dragon Palace and dispersed them everywhere to try their best. Comforting and rectifying everyone, "Damn it, eldest brother was excluded. It seems that the bullshit dragon magic material is fixed. As long as eldest brother is not here, we people will be in chaos..." Several elders on the side commented one after another. : "Your Highness, Third Highness, His Highness has not been sent here now. For the sake of everyone's safety, I ask you to take charge of the overall situation!"
Long Yi's face was solemn, knowing that he was responsible for the royal family at this moment, so he directly started to make arrangements for everyone in the Dragon Palace, "Okay, the great elder will continue to make arrangements. Every guard captain of our Dragon Palace will disperse among the crowd. , lead a small team of guards, try their best to appease the people's emotions, divide the teams into groups, and be responsible for their respective areas and teams. No matter what happens, everything must be based on the order, and the scene or certain thoughts like just now must not occur again. Impure people take the opportunity to cause chaos. If they violate the rules, they will be imprisoned on the spot. After that, our royal family will definitely hold them accountable for the civil disturbance!"
"yes!"
Long Yi looked at Long Yuyun and Long Pianran, and saw that Long Pianran's injury was basically under control after being treated with elixirs and elders, but the disorder and weakness were still clearly visible in his breath, "Fourth sister, Your injury......"
"Third brother, it doesn't matter to me. It's better to deal with the danger first..." As he spoke, the paleness of his face was even more obvious, but Long Yi also understood that at this moment, the entire Dragon City was really in crisis. At that time, although it could be seen that Long Pianran was still a little reluctant, but compared to the many people, they had no choice.
"Okay, then we will each lead a team of guards to the position closest to the stone statue. Only in this way can we grasp the situation first and stabilize people's hearts. Go ahead and be careful. We don't know what the dragon demon is going to do yet. What tricks are there? In short, safety comes first, don’t force anything too hard, do you understand?”
"knew."
At this moment, Manager Xu, who was responsible for all internal affairs of the royal family, and Granny Dai, who had taken care of Long Yuyun since he was a child, also volunteered to step forward and said: "Your Highness, the two young ladies, please let me do my part. ....."
"Manager Xu, how old are you? Don't be brave. Just stay in the crowd and pay attention to safety."
But Manager Xu had a firm look on his face, shaking his head constantly, and the crutch in his hand hit the ground loudly, "No, Third Highness, if I hadn't received the help of His Majesty the Dragon King, I would have been killed by his enemies long ago and left dead on the street. , then there are the blessings of these years. Now the Dragon King family is in a crisis. I have to do my part no matter what. Even if I die, I can repay His Majesty the Dragon King's kindness. Please, and Dai and I My mother-in-law is responsible for arranging internal affairs and manpower all year round. To a large extent, she knows better than the guards how to appease people's hearts and mobilize personnel, so let us help."
"Manager Xu..."
Long Yi never wanted the two old men to risk their lives at such an old age, but the second elder on the side said: "Your Highness, what they said makes sense, not to mention that now we are in a dangerous situation, and I am afraid no one can stay out of it. , but they have more experience than us in terms of personnel transfer and comfort, so I think we might give it a try."
Unable to defeat the two old men, Long Yi had no choice but to agree to them. Manager Xu followed the fifth elder towards the center of the crowd, while Granny Dai naturally followed Long Yuyun. After all, among the people at this moment, she was the most The person who cares about and worries the most is Long Yuyun, the fifth lady who he has taken good care of since childhood.
With the coordination of everyone in the royal family, the previously chaotic situation was gradually stabilized. Long Yi, Long Yuyun, Long Pianran, and a group of elders all took the lead and came directly to the front line of the stone statue. At this time, , the three stone statues of children also began to make strange sounds of laughter, causing everyone to be extremely alert.
"The first game, let's have some appetizers first. This game is called 'Get struck by lightning'. As long as you can cross the red line in front of it, you can continue playing. It's very fun. You can Don’t disappoint me, let the show officially begin, hahaha..."
Looking at the three huge stone statues of children in front of him, with their hands covering their eyes, Qi Linfeng felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, "Although there are no rules, this form, this red line, this stone statue, cannot be the same as me. It’s the same game as I remember...”
Hearing this, although the red line in front was still at least a kilometer away from everyone, this made everyone a little surprised, "Walking through the red line? Is it that simple?!" A guard captain who was also on the front line volunteered directly, " Your Highness, let your subordinates go explore the road first, I don’t believe what a few stone statues can do!”
"Wait! Don't come forward easily yet!"
Unfortunately, even though Qi Linfeng shouted a warning, the guards had already taken steps towards the stone statues. All three stone statues were heard saying sharply and strangely in the voices of children: "Hehehehe, Come and play, catch ghosts, ghosts are the ones that move, and ghosts will be punished..."
A towering force wall immediately isolated several people, making them unable to retreat even half an inch. "Hmph, you are pretending to be a ghost. As the royal guard of the Dragon Emperor family, we will never be fooled by such tricks. Charge!"
"Catch ghosts~~~"
The stone statue immediately slowly lowered its arm that had been covering its eyes, revealing a pair of very evil blood-red pupils, "Those are the naked eyes, aren't they the stone statue..." Qi Linfeng shouted repeatedly Phew, "Don't move!~"
However, it was still a step too late. When the stone statue opened its eyes, several guards still rushed towards the red line fearlessly. But just as those blood-red pupils turned, the few guards who were still sprinting forward were The person stopped for an instant, as if being dragged to a halt by someone. The next second, in full view of everyone, the living person hardened into several humanoid stone statues, and then there was a roar of thunder and several thunderbolts from the sky. They fell at the same time, blasting the guards into pieces.
"Hiss, hiss..."
Everyone took a few breaths of cold air. If everyone just thought like these guards and just rushed towards the red line without caring, I am afraid that they will end up like them now, and they will disappear without knowing how. At this moment, Qi Linfeng was completely sure that this game was the same as the game he had in mind, and hurriedly said loudly to everyone: "Don't be confused, this game is actually just a simple game we played in childhood. One, two, three." They are just wooden figures, and the rules are very simple. As long as the eyes of the three stone statues are not blocked, we must not move. Remember, don’t move when the eyes of the three stone statues are open!"
Having said that, everyone's fear is still increasing instead of decreasing. Although there are mobilization and protection from Dragon Palace masters and guards, who can't remain calm after seeing such a scene? Qi Linfeng couldn't help but feel disdainful, "Tsk, I thought it was some advanced and complicated game, but it turned out to be a one-two-three wooden man? I don't know how many times I played it when I was a kid. Is the dragon demon mentally retarded, or is it intelligence?" Child level?”
"Let me try it!"
I saw a contestant from this Ryoko Competition jumping out from the crowd, rushing towards the red line at the same speed, but the stone statue seemed to have keen perception, and the previous guard was still behind me. It took more than ten seconds to lower his arms and open his red eyes, but at this time, the brown-haired young man had just stepped into it. Less than three seconds later, the arms of the stone statue suddenly fell down without warning, shocking the young man to hurriedly Braking, he almost couldn't hold himself up and died on the spot. The three stone statues glanced at the whole place, and after confirming that there were no moving targets within the range, they covered their eyes here. The young man was bit by bit. The ground keeps moving towards the red line.
When Long Yi saw this, he immediately understood that what Qi Linfeng said was true, and began to make arrangements in groups. However, even with the almost successful example of the young man in front, there was still a surge of emotion in the crowd. Most of these people are just ordinary people. Even if they all have spiritual power, it is so small that it is equivalent to none. Most of them only use it as a way of daily life, which is far less than those who have spiritual powers. , a spiritual master with powerful spiritual power. Therefore, seeing such a scary situation at this time, and the fact that Long Zhiyuan, as the backbone and symbol of faith, is no longer there, more and more people are inevitably still afraid.
"No, no, no, no, I don't want to die, this is too scary."
"Is this the end, is this hell?"
"Why, I don't want to die yet, I haven't even signed a girl's hand before..."
"I don't want to play. This is not a game. This is hell. Whoever plays will die. I would rather stay here. Someone will always come to save me..."
However........
Suddenly, another dense sound of thunderous explosions came from behind, and hundreds of people were instantly turned into powder. It turned out that just when everyone stood there for a long time, the desert foreign aid border was also slowly easing. It was slowly moving and contracting, and the sound of thunder just now meant that some people did not notice the changes in the edge barrier. By the time they noticed, their lives had already been harvested by the black thunder.
"Ha, by the way, I almost forgot to say, don't think that everything will be fine if you stay put. The game naturally has a game time limit. If you still can't complete the game before the spiritual array shrinks to the stone statue, , then you will always stay and accompany the bones of our dragon clan for thousands of years!"
Under such conditions, Qi Linfeng and Long Yuyun quickly found Long Yi, "Hey, hey, hey, don't let people come forward like this again. Haven't you ever played the game of wooden man?" Seeing the expressions of Long Yi, Long Yuyun and others made Qi Linfeng sweat profusely, "What is a wooden man?"
"No, you haven't played any of them, so what games did you play when you were children? Have you never played such a basic and simple children's game?"
"No, when we were young, we mainly played with spirit swords, spirit knives, simulated spirit battles, played with spirit beast dolls, and mostly practiced."
Seeing the faces of these people in front of him who were saying these words as if nothing had happened, Qi Linfeng couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, "Go on, don't these people have a so-called childhood? This damn world of cultivating immortals ......."
Afterwards, Qi Linfeng told them the general gameplay and rules. Long Yi and others understood the rules one after another. "It turns out that it is such a simple rule, why didn't we see it," Qi Linfeng said with a bitter smile. : "Because this game now involves everyone's life and death. Once it is related to death, even the simplest game rules will inevitably make people fear and panic. Of course, it is impossible to notice these things. "
After everyone understood the rules, they all formed groups of ten thousand people and walked towards the red line in front of the stone statue. Although everyone was still uneasy, but knowing the rules and not knowing the rules, the situation It was very different from his feelings, especially when he saw that many people in front of him had gradually passed the red line, and everyone was full of hope. Long Yi's eyes shone brightly, "Ha, I thought this ancient dragon demon was terrifyingly powerful. , the game created should be extremely weird, but I didn’t expect it to be such a simple principle. If this continues, it’s actually not as scary as imagined.”
Qi Linfeng's face was still solemn, "Really, is it that simple? But I always have a feeling that something is wrong. Since this dragon demon is called a demon, it is possible for him to let us people go so easily. If this is really the case If so, why go to all the trouble to bring all the millions of people here to play childish games? No matter how many of us there are, one statue is enough, but now there are three of them, with unclear intentions. This feeling is really uncomfortable..."
As the game continues, nearly half of the people have successfully reached the other side of the red line according to the wooden man's rules. This has successfully increased everyone's confidence. Originally, they were still proceeding ten thousand to ten thousand, but gradually Fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, and even more than two hundred thousand people poured in at the end. Suddenly, the short kilometer plain in front of the stone statue turned into a sea of people, like an undulating wave, full of confidence. The ground moves and stops.
"Okay, so that's how it works. It's too simple, haha."
"Yes, it's too simple. I thought that the devil would try every means to kill us, but I didn't expect that he would make such a game that even children can play. It seems that the devil is not a powerful character after all. .”
"No, I thought it was awesome before, but now it seems like it's just bullshit."
However, just when everyone was confidently moving towards the red line, and just when they saw the stone statue in front of them covering their eyes again, and wanted to take the opportunity to take a few steps forward, the desperate calls from Long Yi and others came from behind. , "Don't move! Don't move at all!~~~~"
"What?!"
Almost instantly, most of the more than 200,000 people turned into gray stone statues in the blink of an eye, and then tens of thousands of thunders came down in response, wiping hundreds of thousands of people into ashes on the spot. , as soon as the fishy wind passed, leaving no trace of the human world, "No!~~~"
It turns out that just when everyone thought they had a good chance of winning and were full of confidence, the movement patterns of the three stone statues suddenly changed. The stone statues, which were originally rhythmic and followable, changed their rhythm and pace a second ago. Although the stone statues in the center and left covered their red eyes with their hands again as everyone expected, the stone statue on the right suddenly stopped moving and did not cover its eyes again. The huge head was even filled with a strange and evil aura. He suddenly looked towards the people in the center and left, a pair of scarlet pupils seemed to be flowing with the blood of death.
What happened next was the tragic scene just now. Tens of thousands of people were instantly wiped out on the spot, with no bones left. The people who were originally moving forward in a stable and orderly manner became crazy again and ran forward regardless of their lives. " Hee hee hee, I caught a ghost, there are many ghosts, and the ghosts must be punished."
"Hahaha, a bunch of hairy human brats dare to underestimate my masterpiece? But seeing your faces distorted by despair and fear really makes me happy, not bad, not bad , I just hope that there will be more of this strong aura of fear, just a little more, hahaha..."
