Chapter 931: Rules
The rules described by the Wolf Butler were very simple: the fourth game adopts a survival competition system.
Including Su Xiao, a total of seven game participants entered the Forest of the Strong and needed to survive in the Forest of the Strong for five days. Once the five days were up, the game would end.
However, just surviving for five days was not enough. There were only six passing spots for the fourth game, which meant that one of the seven would definitely be eliminated. Elimination in the Devil Castle game was equivalent to death.
No one wanted to die. When the fourth game ended, the person with the lowest game points would be eliminated. Moreover, judging by the Wolf Butler's tone, the animals and 'guests' in the Forest of the Strong might all be very strong, and the specific quantity was unknown.
Of course, besides obtaining points, there were other ways to pass the fourth game, which was mutual slaughter among game participants. In this way, the remaining six wouldn't have to worry about the passing spots.
Alice was a scheming bitch. She was enjoying this game, so she also provided rewards, causing a competitive relationship among the game participants. After the five-day survival ended, the game participant with the highest points could choose any item from Alice's treasure vault. What a tempting reward.
Survival, competition, deceit, tempting rewards, 'guests' ambushed in the forest, various creatures entrenched in the forest.
The content of the fourth game seemed simple, just survival, but in reality, it was not.
Compared to the first three games, the fourth game had much higher freedom. Although dangerous, this danger could be avoided with strength. Su Xiao preferred this type of game: blades meeting blood, life and death taken lightly, fight if you don't agree. The previous third game was too brain-burning.
Su Xiao basically understood the game rules, but he still couldn't understand the meaning of the backpack in his hand. He didn't need these materials; he carried a large amount of food and fresh water in his storage space, and there were also quite a few recovery potions.
Su Xiao took a piece of dried meat from the backpack and tried to check the attributes of the dried meat.
【Venison Jerky】
Quality: White
Type: Food
Effect: Relieve hunger, replenish stamina.
Rating: 8
Introduction: Venison jerky blessed by the Devil Castle, can be kept from rotting for a long time in the Forest of the Strong.
Seeing the attributes of the jerky in his hand, Su Xiao's pupils constricted. He immediately took out a portion of food from his storage space, also jerky.
As soon as the jerky left the storage space, before Su Xiao could see the appearance of the dried meat, the jerky began to rot. In an instant, the jerky turned into powder in his hand and slipped through his fingers.
Seeing this scene, Fatty and the others also tried immediately. No matter what food it was, as long as it left the storage space, it would rot instantly and turn into fly ash, and fresh water would also instantly evaporate into a gaseous state.
"The food you brought yourself cannot withstand the environment of the Forest of the Strong, including those strange drugs."
The corner of the Wolf Butler's mouth curled up slightly, as if he had long expected this scene to happen.
Was it really caused by the environment of the Forest of the Strong? Su Xiao felt it wasn't like that. If external items would rot in the Forest of the Strong, then some of his clothing would also rot. This was definitely Alice's doing.
Su Xiao took out a white-quality potion. This thing was left over from his newcomer period. After his stamina attribute exceeded 50 points, the recovery effect of this potion was minimal, so he had been throwing it in his storage space.
As soon as he took out the white potion, the potion began to evaporate rapidly, and even the glass bottle containing the potion rotted together.
After some attempts, Su Xiao found that three types of items—food, fresh water, and recovery potions—would rot immediately upon being taken out of the storage space. Functional items and equipment were unaffected, and some ordinary daily items were also unaffected, such as flint, tents, etc.
Su Xiao understood the significance of the Wolf Butler distributing backpacks. The food, fresh water, and potion supplies in the backpack could be used in the Forest of the Strong.
Fresh water was easy to say; such a dense forest would definitely have water sources. As for food and potions, these two types of materials would be very scarce. God knows what species those creatures and 'guests' in the Forest of the Strong were. If they were energy creatures or summoned creatures, their meat could not be eaten at all.
That's right, the meat of most summoned creatures cannot be eaten. Summoned creatures have more or less spatial attributes, and are blessed by their masters with various states, such as poison, curses, etc. Eating the meat of such summoned creatures would be lucky to survive, let alone replenish stamina.
Su Xiao estimated the quantity of jerky in the bag. With his and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's appetite, it was unknown if this thing was enough for one meal. The way to obtain food was simple: rob or kill the enemy.
Su Xiao was not good at reasoning, but he was good at robbing or killing enemies. His eyes subconsciously looked at other people's backpacks. This was not intentional, but a subconscious action.
After entering the Forest of the Strong, food and recovery items could not be guaranteed. In this way, the cost of fighting was very high. Fighting = consuming stamina + possibility of injury + shortening hunger time = chronic death.
It was true that Su Xiao's physical fitness was strong, but this strong physical fitness required a lot of energy consumption. He was not cultivating immortality and could not abstain from grains. The stronger his strength, the more terrifying the energy consumed. Strength would not appear for no reason; that was not supernatural, but delusional.
With Su Xiao's current situation, if he didn't fight and had sufficient fresh water, he could maintain his combat power for about 2 days. After 2 days, he would become increasingly weak, and his combat power would drop rapidly.
Fresh water was not sufficient. In this case, he could maintain his peak state for about 6 hours.
"This is damn like teasing me."
An angry voice came; it was Fatty. The fat on his face twitched. For him, fat was combat power. Without food supply, his combat power would become weaker and weaker.
"Everyone, it's time to go deep into the Forest of the Strong. You go first."
The Wolf Butler pointed to Detective Luoli. Detective Luoli also understood the current situation. She hugged her backpack and ran into the forest, running very fast.
"Five minutes later, the next game participant will set off."
The Wolf Butler was avoiding a chaotic fight at the starting point.
Su Xiao threw the backpack to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. This supply was very precious. If there was any loss in a fierce battle, it would be a big loss.
Five minutes later, the bespectacled man set off, and he soon disappeared into the forest. The next one to set off was the third of the National Football trio.
While waiting to go deep into the Forest of the Strong, Su Xiao quietly approached the Demon Servant. He hadn't forgotten Sha's hint.
The Demon Servant sat dully on the wooden stump. Previously, the bespectacled man tried to negotiate with him, but his charm attribute suffered a Waterloo, and the Demon Servant didn't even look at him.
Su Xiao approached the Demon Servant. The Demon Servant had no reaction. Su Xiao took advantage of the Wolf Butler not paying attention, activated the Demon Seal on his arm, extracted a trace of Demon Power, and at the same time gathered a strand of Blue Steel Shadow energy at his fingertips. ===== CHAPTER 932 =====
