Chapter 11 The Gamble Between Life and Death(1/2)
Chapter 11 The Gamble of Life and Death
Mu Hanchan didn't dare to eat. Although he was very hungry, he really didn't dare not to take the food delivery person's words seriously. But some people were complaining.
"Hey, why did we stand at the negative pole when we came here? If we stood at the positive pole, wouldn't we be able to grab the food as soon as possible?"
"There's nothing we can do. We didn't expect it. There's a problem with the positioning. We didn't know they would come out from under the anode."
"Let's go close to the anode. They will definitely come again to deliver food. We must grab it next time!"
"Okay! It's best to grab two more portions! I've also grabbed the ones for tomorrow morning. I'm really starving to death."
As a result, some people moved closer to the anode of the stone chamber. Some of those who had received the food ate it on the spot, while others were afraid that someone would snatch it from them, so they went to the corner to eat slowly.
About half the time it takes to burn incense has passed.
The original one hundred meals had been shared by more than two hundred people.
At this time, suddenly a boy fell down holding his stomach, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and looking in great pain. The people around him were startled, some were panicked, and some were at a loss.
But before they could react, another person fell down. The person clutched his throat with his hands, as if he couldn't breathe, and rolled repeatedly on the ground, scaring the people around him who fled in panic.
A group of people surrounded the anode of the stone chamber with water, and saw the food and water placed in a circle. This time, no one rushed to eat it, as if they were afraid of being poisoned again.
"The food is here again!"
This terrifying scene seems haunted and natural at the same time.
The other seventy or eighty people were not much better, suffering just as much.
Mu Hanchan felt weak all over and his lips were chapped.
Not long after, all 98 people who had eaten the food collapsed and died.
In the morning, they still had lingering fears, but their bodies were even more hungry and weak. It was already the morning of the fourth day. They had not eaten for three days and four nights.
Two hours later, the stone chamber was in the void, with no sunlight shining on it, but the walls of the stone chamber were replaced with moonstones, and it seemed that it was already night.
"This is really toxic!"
"I never thought that the food was really poisonous!"
"It seems that we have to believe what the devil said."
Mu Hanchan did not move, he was facing the earthquake position of the stone chamber.
"After I finish eating, I want to keep a portion. If they don't deliver food at night, I can eat it at night."
"This..., this..." All the boys were frightened and didn't know what to do.
However, the food they occupied did not wait for them to eat in the evening. The rest of the people, even if they were hungry, knew that the food this time was still poisonous.
However, no one can answer them, so they can only encourage themselves and wait for the facts to prove.
"The people from the Demon Altar said that there is no poison in the food, so we can eat it."
So many of these people planned in their hearts that if the food delivery person came again, they would be the first to rush forward to get food.
He felt that tomorrow's fifth day would probably be the last day he could survive. He had no confidence that he could survive until the sixth day.
"How's it going? Are you still hungry?"
This time, a total of 97 people ate the two hundred meals. The rest of the people didn't want to eat, but some were afraid, and some had already lost it due to hesitation. This was because the people near the anode got it first.
The leader saw that none of the boys had eaten and said, "There is no poison in the food or water."
Some people seemed to have had their livers broken and were curled up, while others were convulsing all over and foaming at the mouth, as if they were suffering from epilepsy.
When the man saw that the other party was willing, he gave him his share, and he wolfed it down.
"The food is here again!"
The people delivering the food have not changed, they are still the same nineteen, the nine men are in black clothes and the nine women are in white clothes.
"Yes, everyone has said that the food is poisonous, but so many fools still want to eat it, and what's even more exaggerated is that they rush to eat it. Although I am also very hungry, I can still distinguish between slow death and immediate death.
"
On the floor of the stone room, there were more than two hundred people lying in a mess, and the living people nearby were squatting in the distance, looking powerlessly and fearfully at the dead boys.
Mu Hanchan observed and found that the food was arranged in a square shape last time, with ten rows and ten people in each row. This time it became a circle for some reason. On the circle, a portion of food and water were placed at small intervals.
He missed Lin Mengge a little, but the pressure of survival and the fear of death made him unable to recall those beautiful memories calmly.
"Ah! My eyes hurt so much!" one shouted, seemingly unable to open his eyes.
No one is taking care of the demon altar, it seems like they are all abandoned.
Mu Hanchan also stood up and looked at the movement not far away.
After saying that, he escaped into the void again and disappeared at the Yang Pole.
This is the fourth night and the most difficult night.
Stayed up until noon.
Some of the remaining 600 people were frightened out of their wits. They were just a group of boys, most of whom were less than ten years old, not even teenagers. No one had ever seen such a cruel and terrifying life-and-death gambling experience.
This scene was very terrifying. The huge stone room of 300 feet was missing 1/5 of the people. A total of 213 people were eaten this time, and all of them were dead in less than two hours.
There were hundreds more corpses on the floor of the stone chamber, lying in the same messy state as the previous two hundred. They died in different ways, some died peacefully, and some died in extreme pain.
I wonder if what happened yesterday is still impressive. Although some people were occupying the food this time, no one was snatching it. It was much more orderly than yesterday.
The ninety-seven people ate with gusto, but the remaining several hundred people were still hungry. Some of them began to regret not fighting for food and water this time, so that now others were full and they were hungry.
At this time, it was better for those who had not eaten. Although they were hungry, at least they did not have the fear of being poisoned. But those who had eaten but had not yet fallen down were frightened.
"I hope nothing will happen to me. After all, I don't eat much."
"No way? No way? It's not really poisonous inside, right?"
"Okay, give it to me quickly." One person said impatiently. It looked like he was really hungry. That person also specially selected a person who looked the hungriest and most unbearable to blackmail in exchange.
"Yes, yes. I didn't expect it. Fortunately, we were far away from the anode and didn't grab anything to eat."
As if to prove it, several more boys fell down immediately. These people had different reactions. Some seemed to have a splitting headache and held their heads tightly.
Unfortunately, just an hour after these people finished eating.
"If there is no poison in the food, why would they do this?"
It was noon on the fifth day.
At this time, Mu Hanchan was extremely nervous.
He knew very clearly that he was likely to die in this terrifying demon altar. But he did not forget the purpose of his coming.
Although Mu Hanchan was asleep, he was highly nervous. Even if someone woke up to urinate in the middle of the night, he would wake up immediately. If he went back to sleep, he would wake up hungry later.
So whether they ate one or two bowls or two bites, they all died one after another in a short period of time.
Some die quickly, some die slowly. But regardless of speed, everyone who has eaten even one bite of food will die.
"Me too! Let's stay together. If someone dares to snatch it, we will beat him together to protect our food."
"Ah? The food is here again?"
"Wow, there's still water this time. I haven't drank water in the past few days. I'm really thirsty!"
But there was nothing he could do or do.
When Mu Hanchan went to the Demon Altar, he had just turned eight years old, because he was born on the day of the Great Cold.
"Yes, it's better to believe it than to believe it doesn't. They deserve to be poisoned to death!"
"Is the food really poisonous?"
After a while, dozens of people fell down one after another. All of them had eaten and were rushing to eat.
As soon as the person who delivered the food disappeared, some people couldn't wait to start eating. The words of the food delivery person seemed to be a calming medicine, calming the fearful hearts of many boys.
Some boys were crying loudly, and some were huddled on the ground, shivering, hungry and thirsty. Although some were not that cowardly, judging from their expressions and rare movements, I am afraid that their inner situation was not much better. Mu
Han Chan is one of this last category of people.
A group of boys climbed up with their weak bodies and hurried to the anode in the stone room.
Unfortunately, the food is indeed poisonous as the person who delivered it said, and it is extremely poisonous, with all kinds of poisons with different toxicity.
"People have said that there is no poison this time, why don't you believe it? Look, you are still hungry and weak now. I don't know if you will starve to death tomorrow. How can you compete with me for cultivation resources? I'm afraid you will do it again.
You’re not qualified or worthy!”
After hearing the sound, more people stood up and went to get close to the anode to get some food and water to satisfy their hunger and quench their thirst.
The sunstone was replaced, the moonstone was replaced again, and the night came again.
He already understood that this was a test to enter the place called the Demon Altar, but he didn't know the method of the test, and no one told him.
He must live, he must live.
So, the two boys not only ate one portion, but also occupied one portion. When other boys saw it, they also learned to occupy one portion.
"Then I only grabbed half the bowl, will anything happen?"
To be continued...
