277: Chapter 277 Treasure Land 47

This bizarre and terrifying scene was taken in by the few players standing on high ground.

The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket was practically shivering, "What the hell is that black liquid? It's too terrifying, isn't it?"

Deep down, Luo Yuejian also felt a trace of horror at this moment.

Recalling the sight of the Mutated Mandrills' heads falling into the black liquor after they died, and then thinking of the headless skeletons in the Stone Room, she couldn't help but form a bizarre conjecture—

Could that black liquor be brewed using these human heads...?

Luo Yuejian couldn't help but shudder, immediately shaking the absurd thought from her mind. Impossible, impossible, who would be that perverted?

However, at this moment, she also recalled the scene where she had been bewitched by the aroma of the liquor in the air and had almost actually drunk that black liquid.

If she had managed to walk here unscathed back then and drank that black liquid, her fate would definitely have been even more miserable than these Mutated Mandrills.

After all, the Mutated Mandrills still had muscle on them; someone like her, with barely an ounce of meat on her bones, would probably have been vaporized instantly.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Luo Yuejian thought to herself that it was all that damn Doctor with a low ponytail's fault! She had planned everything so thoroughly; by now, she should have been lying in her bed at home, sleeping!

Next time, she absolutely must not look for such smart people. These types of people have too many ideas, and you never know when they might suddenly stab you in the back.

It's better to find the kind who look like they'll easily mess things up; if their IQ isn't high enough, there's definitely much less room for them to maneuver.

The Plump Boss looked at the scene in front of him, thoughtful, "These Mandrills all perform something similar to a dance before drinking the black pool water. Does this seem to be some kind of sacrificial ritual?"

The Doctor with a low ponytail thought the same. She couldn't help but frown, wondering if something bad would happen after the sacrificial ritual ended.

The information she had gathered previously was simply too scarce, so she currently didn't know what exactly the terrifying black pool water was used for.

Nor did she know where the final treasure needed to clear this round of the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game was located.

At this moment, it was obvious that she needed the White-haired Girl to provide clues. This was also the reason she had saved the White-haired Girl earlier.

The Doctor with a low ponytail turned her head and looked at Luo Yuejian, "What should we do next?"

Luo Yuejian was also thinking at this moment, what should she do next?

Currently, the most direct and simplest method she could think of was to commit suicide via that black liquid. But if she wanted to jump directly into the black liquid, it would be too obvious as an act.

Not to mention whether the slacker system would allow her to throw the game like that, the audience in the livestream room would probably click the report button until it broke.

However, Luo Yuejian was quite experienced in this kind of situation. She wasn't in a hurry; she had to find a way to get close to that pool of black liquid first, and only then would she have room to operate~

At this moment, upon hearing the Doctor with a low ponytail ask her what to do next, a flash of inspiration struck Luo Yuejian, and a plan instantly came to mind.

"The final treasure is a brave heart," she said, feigning depth, "Item hint."

A brave heart? Doesn't that mean they have to actively approach dangerous places? The Doctor with a low ponytail pondered, "Do you mean we should approach that black pool?"

Holy crap, it's rare for a player to be able to understand her meaning so accurately! Previously, those players always understood her meaning on the surface, but in reality, what they did was completely opposite to what she wanted to express.

This time, since the Doctor with a low ponytail had stated it so clearly, surely she wouldn't still be imagining all sorts of nonsense, right?

Luo Yuejian was overjoyed, immediately expressing her appreciation with a look, and then walked straight ahead, preparing to be the first to reach the edge of the pool filled with black liquid to find an opportunity to die.

At this moment, the Mutated Mandrills that had originally been crowding in front of the pool had basically all turned into a pool of blood, and the few remaining ones also had their bodies rapidly dissolve after drinking the black liquid.

Walking to the edge of the black pool, Luo Yuejian tapped her finger unconsciously against a nearby pillar, starting to calculate in her heart how she could throw the game without leaving a trace.

Meanwhile, the Doctor with a low ponytail, who was still standing in place, was also pondering at this moment.

What did that look the White-haired Girl just gave her mean?

The look the other party gave her just now looked extremely cold, as if it were a form of indifference towards her. Afterward, she left alone. Could it be that the item hint she proposed didn't mean she wanted them to approach the edge of the pool filled with black liquid to look for clues?

The Plump Boss walked over, looked at Luo Yuejian's back, stood next to the Doctor with a low ponytail, and asked in a low voice, "What did she just say?"

"She said she had an item that gave a hint: the final treasure is a brave heart," the Doctor with a low ponytail also said in a low voice.

She frowned slightly, "I thought she meant for us to approach the pool, but looking at her attitude, I seem to have misunderstood."

The Plump Boss pondered for a moment and walked to Luo Yuejian's side, only to see her standing next to a pillar by the pool, her fingers tapping on the pillar with a very regular rhythm.

Could there be a problem with this pillar?

The Plump Boss immediately focused his attention on the pillar.

Because he had been standing far away before, he hadn't observed this pillar carefully. Only now that he was close did he discover that it was actually carved with very exquisite character depictions.

If he hadn't misunderstood, what was depicted on it should be a woman standing next to a throne, pouring human heads into a pool.

Almost the entire pillar was covered in skull-shaped head carvings, which looked densely packed and somewhat creepy.

This carving could very easily make one think of the pool filled with black liquid nearby.

Realizing that the carvings on these pillars must be related to the secret here, the Plump Boss immediately began to observe the other three pillars.

The Doctor with a low ponytail also quickly realized this and trotted toward a pillar on the side.

Luo Yuejian and the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket were both dumbfounded, not knowing why the two of them had suddenly run off.

Now that only he and that cold White-haired Expert were here, the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket felt a bit apprehensive and dared not stay here any longer. He nodded ingratiatingly and immediately followed the example of the other two players, running to a pillar to pretend to ponder.

Luo Yuejian: ...

Should she also find a pillar to pretend to think?

That would be perfect for her to think about what method she could use to reasonably throw the game without being warned by the slacker system.
