The Third Run
Seeing this, Sheng Qingqiao switched the Broadsword to her left hand and slashed down at the eerie figure outside the door!
"Click--!"
The door frame collapsed with a crash, and flames spread upwards along the cut wound. It struggled and retreated in a strange manner, its body supported by water snakes inside and scorched by flames on the outside, screaming in agony.
The eerie figure retreated, finally revealing a crack in the doorway.
"Let's go!" Sheng Qingqiao shouted.
Luo Jiayu walked out with Sheng Qingqiao, and the transparent little snakes followed closely behind, never leaving Luo Jiayu's side.
An Ying stayed behind to cover their retreat. He held the Bamboo Umbrella in front of him, and tentacles emerged from his white hair behind his head. His eyes darted around, completely freezing all the Weird Object behind him.
As soon as the three of them stepped out, they bumped into Mi Chuchu, who had come looking for them.
"Hurry up!" Sheng Qingqiao shouted.
Mi Chuchu looked up and saw countless enormous ingredients vying to squeeze out of the narrow doorway behind them.
Those once tempting delicacies on the dining table, such as roasted venison, roasted suckling pig, and roasted lamb leg, now have grown human hands and feet, transformed into something bizarre.
She felt a little nauseous.
An Ying retracted the uncontrollable Weird Object [eye], and once again threw out the Bamboo Umbrella in her hand to block the attack for Sheng Qingqiao.
The lamb was strangely knocked aside by the Bamboo Umbrella, but the Little Rabbit behind it strangely pushed off the ground with its feet and circled around the umbrella surface. It then leaped onto the umbrella surface, bit the Bamboo Umbrella with its three-lobed mouth, and forcefully shook it off.
An Ying immediately manipulated the energy to retrieve the Bamboo Umbrella. In this brief moment, the rabbit eerily flashed in front of him and knocked An Ying headbutt.
His back slammed against the patterned wall in the Corridor, the pain making his bones go limp and half of his body lose its strength.
He braced himself against the ground with the tip of the umbrella and forced himself to stand up.
The rabbit grinned eerily, its three-lobed mouth wide open, its red eyes fixed on him, and it flashed in front of An Ying with incredible speed.
Thump!
An Ying was slammed against the wall again, and that feeling of his bones going weak returned. He tried to exert force but found that he couldn't muster any strength at all.
Are these the Rules for these "foods"?
Meanwhile, Luo Jiayu's water snakes had already entangled several large, eerie creatures. However, these water snakes were ultimately just her hair; although numerous, their defenses were weak, and they were dwindling under the creatures' attacks.
"Boom--!"
Mi Chuchu clashed with a bull-headed monster, and despite not being threatened in terms of strength, she was suddenly struck by the bull-headed monster's punch, which shattered her arm bones inch by inch!
This is not power, this is the Rules!
"Cough!"
Mi Chuchu struggled to pull herself off the wall, then rolled forward awkwardly to avoid the heavy blows from the bull's hooves, but her chest was still very uncomfortable from being squeezed.
She looked up and saw that the flames in Sheng Qingqiao's Broadsword had been completely absorbed into the skin of a roasted chicken, whose sharp beak, gleaming coldly, was pecking down at his head.
Without hesitation, Mi Chuchu took out her other Weird Object: the Holy Staff.
The energy was activated, and the tall and magnificent Holy Staff emitted a divine light, drawing the faint light in the air to form beautiful bands of light, while simultaneously binding the three people and pulling them to her side.
The three were immediately out of danger. The four of them stood back to back, watching the strange creatures closing in. Despite the pain all over their bodies, they forced a laugh and said, "We're probably doomed now."
Sheng Qingqiao smacked her lips. "Couldn't you at least leave me with a whole corpse?"

A handful of soil was thrown up, and Wang Ding and Bai Ao diligently dug out two corpses from the ground.
[Found 1 Key Clue, 1 Dream Point, 4 remaining Dream Attempts]
Finding two corpses rewarded me with two Dream Points, but frustratingly, the two corpses were just skeletons, and apart from their gender being male, nothing else could be discerned.
They dug a little deeper and unearthed several more skeletons, as well as a few recently buried corpses—at least these weren't skeletons anymore.

"It's Kane, Darren, and those two women, that's right," Wang Ding said, brushing away the dirt.
Bai Ao wanted to say something, but his expression froze when he saw the person behind Wang Ding.
You have ruined my Garden.
The newcomer's voice was calm and devoid of emotion, but his gray eyes were chilling.
Wang was wearing a clean and tidy gray wool sweater, a smile playing on her lips, and a single green earring on her right ear glittering in the darkness.
In the darkness, his current attire was even more dazzling than the banquet he had attended that evening.
Wang Ding slowly turned his gaze to Wang's back, where a pale-faced old man stood.
The old man was dressed in a well-fitting black suit, holding a brown wooden cane in his right hand. His palm was rough and strong, and a black gemstone was inlaid at the top of the cane.
In his left hand, he was carrying a familiar person.
Qin Rang.
"Captain?" Wang Ding stood up instantly.
Wang smiled smugly at the corpses that had been unearthed from the ground and said, "How could you possibly be honored guests of my Ravenhall? You're clearly a bunch of thieves with ill intentions who have infiltrated the place under the guise of guests."
"Butler, get rid of these audacious thieves!"
The Butler beside him swiftly brought down the knife.
Qin Rang had already regained consciousness but felt completely out of control of his body, suddenly felt dizzy.
Behind Wang Ding and Bai Ao, the corpses that had been lying there pretending to be dead got up and bit their necks.
Meanwhile, the people in the kitchen were also mysteriously swallowed up.
Wang turned to look at the corpses in the Butler's hands, counted them, and asked, "There seem to be two more?"
The Butler said, "Bai Yang should have already secretly taken care of it."
You are dead.
[Dream Points remaining: 10. Consume all Dream Points to unlock the third playthrough?]
[Note: Sufficient Dream Points have been detected to unlock Special Dream; it is now open.]
In the dim darkness, everyone in the Calamity Crossing Squad heard this sound.
It turns out that the third playthrough requires a certain number of Dream Points!
Wang Ding felt a wave of fear wash over him. If they hadn't collected so many Dream Points, would they have been completely wiped out?
[Third Loop has begun]
When Tao Yuan opened her eyes, she didn't see the dining table from the previous time travel, but a hazy world, as if filtered through a dim yellow lens.
"What are you still standing there for? The Second Young Master has been calling you for ages! If you don't go over now, I'll skin you alive and throw you into the lake!"
A maid's voice beside her startled her awake. Tao Yuan looked down at herself; she was wearing a maid's uniform.
But she just mentioned the Second Young Master? Who's the Second Young Master? Isn't that presumptuous?
Tao Yuan pushed open the door and saw a tall, thin boy sitting in a chair. Unlike the Eldest Young Master's seriousness and uprightness, or Wang's free and easy manner, he was more dignified and quiet, more like a standard aristocrat than the other two.
"Why are you taking so long to get here? You're dawdling over getting a coat." The Second Young Master got up, picked up the coat from her arms, put it on, and walked out.
Tao Yuan and several maids immediately followed.
The Castle was still large and spacious at this time, but the walls were not decorated with many tapestries, making it look much simpler.
"Little brother!"
