"We're all in the same guild, so we know what each other is thinking."

"Even if you stop us from doing the guiding quest now, can you stop us forever?"

The one speaking was Bai Shuiji, who had always been cautious and prudent.

Having been through the ups and downs of the social scene, she was used to seeing disgusting people and things. Unlike the Chubby Kid, Fang Bai, her calm demeanor intimidated many.

The people blocking their way were already showing signs of retreat, but a cold gaze from afar forced them to surround Zhao Yi again.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to die, get lost, or we'll break your legs and feed you to the Butcher!"

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly!

As the standoff continued, a voice came from a distance.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Yi and his group turned to see Xiang Weishan approaching with a group of about thirty or forty people. Seeing this, Fang Bai and the others' expressions changed!

If Xiang Weishan decided to join forces with the others against them, they wouldn't be able to participate in the Butcher's Game today and would have to stay in the safe zone near the Clown's General Store!

However, Xiang Weishan's next words surprised them.

"Is this how you handle things?"

"Not doing it yourself and not letting others do it either?"

With a righteous expression, Xiang Weishan suddenly turned into a justice advocate, helping Zhao Yi and his group.

If he hadn't tricked them before, they might have believed he was a good person!

Seeing Xiang Weishan's large group, the opposition lost their momentum and silently made way.

"Brother Zhao Yi, don't be afraid."

"I'll take you to the Butcher's Game. They won't dare stop you!"

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

Xiang Weishan patted his chest with a heroic expression, as if saying, "You're under my protection now."

A disdainful and disgusted look was cast at him.

It came from Bai Shuiji.

She knew this was just one of Xiang Weishan's clumsy tricks.

First, he incited trouble, then appeared to resolve the conflict, gaining favor, and finally volunteered to take Zhao Yi to the Butcher's Game, thus joining Zhao Yi's team.

Clearly, Xiang Weishan had seen Zhao Yi's skills and was eyeing the quest rewards!

She tugged at Zhao Yi's sleeve.

Though she also wanted to follow Zhao Yi for rewards, at least she felt she wasn't being hypocritical.

She despised people like Xiang Weishan, who wanted to play both sides.

Moreover, this person... could stab you in the back at any moment!

Perhaps her tug was too gentle, as Zhao Yi seemed completely unaware, and he gratefully grasped Xiang Weishan's hand with his bandaged and bloody hand, saying:

"Brother Xiang is the best!"

"Come with us, Brother, so we can look out for each other!"

Xiang Weishan was delighted, thinking Zhao Yi was easy to deceive!

The others exchanged glances, constantly wary of this cunning and treacherous guy!

He enthusiastically led them to the butcher shop on the second floor, already plotting how to deal with Zhao Yi after getting the rewards!

This guy indeed had some skills, but precisely because of that... he couldn't be left alive!

After they left, the gangster Mo Yao spat in the direction of Xiang Weishan's back.

Pah!

What a piece of work!

Risking life and limb together, but hogging all the benefits!

The group arrived at the butcher shop, where a tall man stood at the entrance, wielding a cleaver and furiously chopping at a human leg!

He had antelope-like horns and terrifying red eyes.

His muscles were as solid as rocks, and with each swing of the cleaver, bones were severed, the sound making one's scalp tingle!

"Hello, Butcher."

"We're here to participate in the Butcher's Game."

Zhao Yi stepped forward to face the Butcher's devilish eyes.

The Butcher glanced at them, his mouth stretching to his ears, revealing rows of sharp teeth, with glimpses of flesh and hair inside.

It was unclear what creature's remains they were.

"My game has three options."

"The first is to deliver food for me. I have a few orders from customers... whoever's the fastest wins, and the winner will receive a bowl of my exclusive meat soup. The loser... hehehe..."

The Butcher's laughter almost lifted their skulls!

"The second... is to cook a dish for me. If I'm satisfied, the game is passed. If not, I'll personally teach you how to cook..."

"The third game is to collect ingredients for me from the Valley of Hundred Graves deep in the wilderness."

"So, what game do you want to play?"

After hearing this, they looked at each other, seeing the apprehension in each other's eyes.

The bloody smell in the air and the corpses hanging on hooks in the butcher shop reminded them that this Butcher was an extremely dangerous character!

Especially Xiang Weishan, who had witnessed the Butcher skinning a player alive, a scene so brutal it became a lifelong psychological scar for many!

Since they were already a team, they had to choose the same option to start the game.

"How about... we go for the second game..."

Fang Bai hesitated for a moment and suggested.

"We can help each other, and there's no need to kill each other!"

His reasoning was simple: the first game clearly had only one survivor, and the third game, judging by its name, was a place of certain death!

So the second game seemed most suitable for them.

Xiang Weishan, however, sneered from the side:

"The second game?"

"Taste is subjective, and we don't know what it likes. Besides, if it wants us dead, it's an impossible game to complete!"

Fang Bai frowned.

"Then what do you suggest?"

Xiang Weishan replied:

"Of course, the first task is the simplest!"

"Delivering food is just a race of speed. If you're slow, you can only blame yourself, not others!"

In Xiang Weishan's view, this was the most advantageous game for him.

First, he was physically fit.

Second, he had learned close combat and fought in underground boxing matches, with rich combat experience. He could easily call on his underlings to deal with others once the task began!

They didn't need to kill; just incapacitate or hold them back.

Once he completed the task, the Butcher would naturally deal with the other players in the games!

After all, the Butcher only specified rankings, not a specific time!

In an instant, a malicious plan had taken root in his mind!

A meaningful smile played on Xiang Weishan's lips...
