Chapter 169 Stables.
Chapter 169 Stables.
Qi Min looked at Aurora, who had a smile on her face, but her eyes seemed cold and dangerous.
"It's all my fault. I made Miss wait so long. I'll go to Butler Rupert's to receive my punishment later. Miss, please don't be angry and let it affect your mood..."
Qi Min, his expression unchanged, stepped forward with the tray, his face full of apology, and put down the hastily put-together meal he was holding.
Looking at Aurora with a guilty expression, he apologized gently and took the opportunity to check the status of the cards.
'No change and no damage means it's still effective and hasn't lost its effect.'
"So Aurora is just unhappy that he came back too late?" Qi Min lowered his eyes, secretly guessing.
"Okay, okay, I didn't say I was going to punish you. You're such a good person, why would I punish you arbitrarily?"
This food smells so good! There's even juice! I love juice, Qi Min, you're so thoughtful!
Aurora smiled sweetly, a hint of shyness in her eyes, and spoke, seemingly pleased with Qi Min's words.
"I'm glad you like it, Miss. The model has already been brought to the studio. You can go there after you finish eating."
With a polite smile on his face, Qi Min bowed slightly, watched Aurora nod, and then lowered his eyes to hide the darkness in them after drinking all the juice.
A moment later, after Aurora finished eating, she went to the art studio alone. After tidying up, Qi Min also arrived at his previously decided destination.
Stables...
It was also the place where the player with the black bracelet was assigned.
Having changed into a black tracksuit, Qi Min quietly arrived near the back garden where the stables were located.
Even before you get very close, you can hear screams and noises coming from the stables. Clearly, the players who were assigned here are not very satisfied with their jobs.
Qi Min hid in the shadows, watching the players screaming inside, but his eyes didn't show much emotion.
He had already seen it when he had explored this dungeon before, when other players had done so.
The black bracelet is the most dangerous signal in this instance.
Those assigned to the stables basically had no chance of survival.
Unless you have a lot of trump cards and are skilled enough, it will be difficult to escape.
They would either be skinned and made into ponies, or they would be paired up as mares to appease stallions in heat.
Regardless of gender, anyone who received a black hand rope and was unable to escape invariably met a tragic end.
If the character turned into a pony is rescued in time, they may survive. As long as they survive the game and return to the player rest area, they can be restored.
The worst fate is when a horse is paired with a female. Once this happens, regardless of gender, the horse will eventually die from a ruptured intestine.
Some women even experience rapid labor, leading to their death from abdominal disembowelment.
Then they are devoured by the monsters they give birth to, leaving not even a single bone fragment behind.
Even experienced players, if they are unlucky enough to be assigned the black bracelet,
They also take advantage of newcomers' carelessness and loopholes in the rules, switching their wristbands with those of other players so that the newcomers can take their place, thus saving their own cards and achieving the goal of safely passing the level.
Qi Min was almost switched. Because of his good looks, he was assigned the blue bracelet and made into a doll.
With half his arm severed, he barely made it through the first game when an experienced player set his sights on him, trying to trick him into switching places with him, claiming it was to better find clues to complete the game.
Fortunately, after suffering several losses, Qi Min became highly wary of everyone. No matter how eloquently someone spoke or how threatening they were, he did not fall for it and thus narrowly escaped disaster.
Only a few new players, ignoring Qi Min's warnings and advice, wanted to cling to the veteran players and seek their protection, and ultimately...
"Haha, it seems the quality is quite good this time; it even held up well. Not bad, not bad at all!"
That way, my fun can last longer, hahaha..."
A deep, strange cry rang out excitedly. Qi Min stared coldly at the monster whose head was a fusion of a horse's and a human face.
As he caught a female insect, laughing excitedly and doing unspeakable things, Qi Min patiently waited in secret.
A short while later, when the female insect was on the verge of death, the human-faced, horse-headed monster finally stopped its actions with satisfaction.
Just as he was about to strike again, he suddenly stopped and quickly raised his hand to block the large knife that was about to cut his neck.
Seeing that his attack had failed, Qi Min quickly retreated and threw back several silver needles as thin as hair.
The horsehide, which a broadsword couldn't cut through, was quickly penetrated by a few silver needles as if they were touching tofu.
"Who! Who dares to interrupt my good time!"
The monster with a human face and a horse's head dropped the female insect in its hand, stood up and looked around, but there were only two terrified female insects and a sub-female around it, trembling as they looked at him.
The large sword that suddenly appeared and slashed at him seemed to be just his imagination.
Qi Min stood next to two players who were huddled together, trembling, and watched the monster with a human face and horse head, holding his breath as he waited quietly.
"Come out! You cowardly rat! How dare you disturb my fun! I'll smash you into a pile of minced meat..."
A monster with a human face and a horse's head angrily smashed a manger and roared at the surrounding area.
Qi Min simply watched quietly. Not long after, while the monster with the human face and horse head was still angrily searching for someone, it suddenly stiffened and shook its head as if feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
"Boom..."
The monster with a human face and a horse's head suddenly collapsed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and bits of grass.
The two huddled together, trembling with fear. Neither dared to approach and check on them, and they couldn't even take a step to run away.
Finally, as one of them struggled to his feet with his aching legs, a sudden scene before him caused him to collapse back to the ground.
The monster, lying unconscious on the ground, was struck repeatedly in the neck by a suddenly appearing cleaver.
"Pfft... Pfft..."
Qi Min swung his machete with all his might and finally managed to cut through the thick horsehide. After a couple more chops, he realized the effect was too slow, so he immediately put away the machete and switched to an axe.
After a few more chops, I finally managed to separate its head from its body.
This monster with a human face and a horse's head isn't particularly strong in combat; it's mainly thick-skinned and very powerful. If you were to get entangled with it, it would take at least some time.
Qi Min didn't want to waste time here, so he had no choice but to use his few poison needles to bring it down.
After cutting off the monster's head and splitting it in two, he ignored the two female insects who were still slumped on the ground.
Qi Min began searching everywhere, and the stables were the place with the highest and fastest mortality rate.
But it is also a place where disguised cards and escape routes are hidden.
However, the location is different each time, so it can be a bit troublesome to find.
Half an hour later, Qi Min left the stable with the two disguised cards he had found and headed to his next destination.
The old butler's bedroom.
