Chapter 567: A New Encounter! A Brand-New World!

"Not to hide it from you, Cao An and I have terrible sense of direction; we circled around the same place for a long time," Woman said.

"So you saw everything?" Su Yang asked.

"Seen what…"

Speaking, Woman's Corner of Eye flickered and suddenly spotted a Silhouette lying not far away.

Looking closely, she saw Wang Daohui's eyes wide open, mouth agape, and a fatal wound on his neck.

"You… killed him?" Woman's complexion changed.

"He wanted to kill me; I was just defending myself," Su Yang said.

"But he could be… our companion!" Woman's features slightly twisted.

"That's fine; as long as we find a Safe Zone, you and I can both be unharmed," Su Yang said calmly.

With those words, Woman suddenly became alert and instinctively stepped back.

In her view, Su Yang is undoubtedly the most dangerous person in this Death Game.

Not one.

Willful recklessness, murderous intent surging.

She has only seen this look on the executioner Minotaur.

Extremely dangerous!

"Su Yang, Good Smell," Cao An rubbed his face against his clothes, beaming.

Su Yang twitched his mouth, indicating, "She is even more Good Smell."

Before Woman could open her mouth, Cao An shook his head forcefully and said, "I don't like the scent on her; my mother has the same scent; I hate mother."

"Oh?" Su Yang suddenly became interested, smiling, "Can you tell me what you both did today?"

"Playing planes, looking for planes…" Cao An lowered his head, twiddling his fingers, and said so.

Su Yang listened attentively, his gaze drifting, suddenly landing on Cao An's trouser pocket.

He saw that he had hidden the plaything Stone inside; previously he hadn't examined it closely, but now the origin of these Stones seemed…

"May I borrow it to play?" Su Yang pointed at his pocket and asked.

"Sure, sure."

Cao An cheerfully handed the Stone out.

Su Yang stroked it for a moment, discovering the Stone's surface quite smooth and its texture hard.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, doubt arose in Su Yang's eyes.

He saw that one Stone's surface bore a Rift, and the cracked area displayed a texture somewhat different from the Stone.

He leaned in to examine closely, his Pupil suddenly contracting.

"This is…"

Cao An laid out everything he had done today, boasting proudly, "How about it? Am I impressive?"

However, Su Yang's attention was wholly on the Stone, suddenly recalling something, and a startling hypothesis flashed in his brain.

"Could it be…" Su Yang's Pupil quivered dramatically, "Bone?!"

He placed several Stones flat on the ground, then aimed at the one with a Rift and struck it forcefully.

"Snap!"

Just a moment later, a few strands of powder scattered out.

The Stone shattered into pieces, exposing its inner texture.

The portion exposed to air showed a slightly gray color, and around it a ring of pale white substance.

That was collagen!

At this moment Su Yang could confirm that what Cao An held was not an ordinary Stone, but genuine Bone!

"Ah, my home is ruined!" Cao An's face was fearful.

Su Yang picked up a fragment, breathing slightly fast, "Where did you pick it up?"

"My home…" Cao An ignored him, merely immersed in sorrow.

Su Yang shook his Shoulder forcefully, deep-voiced, "I ask you, where was this thing found!"

Cao An, seeing Su Yang's solemn expression, suddenly became afraid and dared not speak.

He only pointed at the nearby corpse, timidly saying, "He led me to it."

Following the direction, Su Yang was startled.

Wang Daohui?

It was actually him?!

Does that then mean…

The so-called earth-shattering secret he mentioned—actually exists?

Woman sensed the seriousness, asking, "What's wrong?"

"His usual plaything is Bone," Su Yang said evasively.

Boom!

Like a thunderclap in clear sky exploding in her mind, Woman, eyes full of bewilderment, said, "I thought this was just a Normal Difficulty Stone."

Indeed.

If anyone else, they wouldn't suspect a fool's toy.

And its appearance truly resembled a Stone.

Irregular, texture hard.

If it weren't for hearing Cao An describe the branch as an airplane, I could never have made that connection.

Su Yang's complexion softened, Laugh, and he said: "Can you tell me how he led you to the house yesterday?"

"I kind of can't remember," Cao An shook his head.

"No problem, think slowly, no need to be too specific, just need a general direction," Su Yang said patiently.

Since this secret concerns the player, Su Yang must investigate.

Because yesterday he used Deception to discover the condition for unlocking a Hidden Achievement.

That heart!

One must know that Hidden Achievements are only related to the game itself.

And killing someone at most unlocks an Ordinary Achievement.

Now that bones have appeared, it's highly likely they're human bones.

With various Luoshi combined, Su Yang has reason to suspect this secret concerns the true nature of the game!

This is not random speculation, nor baseless.

"Let me think…" Cao An lowered his Brain and fell into recollection.

No matter how he racked his Brain, he still couldn't figure it out.

He was seen with a painful expression, clutching his Brain, and said: "I really can't remember."

"Give it your all, I believe you can," Su Yang said softly.

Woman also came over to soothe, "Don't rush, take it step by step."

The two exchanged a glance, both eyes showing a hint of urgency.

After a while, Cao An suddenly lifted his head toward a direction, "It seems… over there."

"Go!"

Su Yang didn't hesitate, immediately rushed to the front.

Crossing one Forest after another, leaping over the Small River, they entered an unfamiliar area.

From the rough bearing, this is the Forest's Southern Direction.

"Are you sure this isn't Beast bone?" Woman asked.

"I don't know, Vision Perception and you'll know," Su Yang replied.

Woman got lost repeatedly, Cao An led her into the eastern Forest, then came to the Southern Direction.

Now the area he Finger points to must be related to what Wang Daohui described.

That heart's size is similar to that of an average adult.

It's highly likely not Beast's entrails.

Thinking that, Su Yang quickened his Foot, leaving Woman and Cao An far behind.

Ten minutes later, after he passed through a thicket, a New World suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Under the sunlight, a vast expanse of white bones spread across the ground like a display.

Looking out, it resembled a road paved with white bones; even in the scorching summer, a chill could be felt.

Bone‑chilling cold!

"Actually…" Su Yang's breath caught, his eyes filled with shock.

What did he see?

Human bones covered the ground, stretching for countless miles, up to the edge of his vision.

At this moment, Woman also rushed over.

She looked at the scene before her, the branch she was using as a cane suddenly fell to the ground.

Bang!

"What… what's actually going on?"

When Cao An rushed over, intense excitement sparked in his eyes, "Skyscrapers, I've found them!"

Su Yang suddenly turned his head, his complexion shifting.

"So this is…"

"Safe Zone!"
