Spending three days in the Camp, is this a standard survival Dungeon?

The players' expressions varied.

"Alright, now that you understand, get out onto the deck. We need to prepare to land on the island." The slovenly man clapped his hands, signaling the players to leave.

Xu Xi followed the other players at a leisurely pace. As she passed this group, she glanced at them and noticed that they were arranging survival equipment, cooking utensils, medical supplies, and other resources.

It seems they really are planning to stay on that island for three days.

Although the rules explained by the slovenly man sounded simple, Xu Xi had gone through five Dungeon, and while she might not have gained much experience, she had at least become much more astute.

Is Dungeon chosen by the God Hunt for Mixed-Team Competition really just an ordinary survival Dungeon?

For example, those so-called various challenges.

He had a hunch that clearing this Dungeon might not be as simple as just surviving for three days.

Eleven players arrived on the deck one after another. What came into view was the shimmering lake surface, with dense forests on both banks. In the distance, a small island drew ever closer as the ship sailed.

Xu Xi gazed at the isolated island, seemingly forgotten in a corner of the world, and her earlier conjecture became even more certain.

With the players sitting or standing without disturbing each other, the ship gradually approached the shore.

The Production Team members began carrying supplies back and forth onto the island, while the disheveled man stood on the shore waving to the players.

After the players had all disembarked and stood in front of him, he began to speak:

"The Production Team has installed cameras and loudspeakers throughout the Camp. Your every move will be broadcast live to the monitoring room. A shaman will be performing a blessing ceremony shortly. After he finishes, you will change into the prison uniforms worn by the hostages and enter the Camp. I will inform you of the upcoming challenges through the loudspeaker. Do you all understand?"

Just then, a young man with light brown hair and blue eyes suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Director, what do you mean by elimination? Death?"

The disheveled man froze for a moment, looking at the player incredulously. "What? Are you kidding me? This is a legitimate Production Team. I don't deny that I chose this haunted Camp as the location for the Production Team for the sake of viewership, but I never intended to have anyone killed!"

Seeing the expressions on the contestants' faces, the disheveled man finally realized that they seemed to have misunderstood something, and quickly explained in detail, "Hey, listen up, contestants, all you need to do is persevere and complete all our challenges. The one who perseveres to the end is the winner, and the one who can't persevere is eliminated. The staff will bring you out."

The blue-eyed youth smiled and said, "Sorry, I misunderstood. What should I do if I experience severe discomfort during the challenge?"

The disheveled man said, "You can shout that you want to withdraw from the competition, and the staff will still bring you out."

The blue-eyed youth nodded. "Okay, thank you, director."

After the blue-eyed youth's probing, the players realized they had been overthinking things.

I thought the Production Team was going to have them fight each other, with the last one standing being the ultimate winner.

I didn't expect it to really just be a simple program.

Even so, none of the players were happy.

Xu Xi hissed inwardly.

Really.

This made him even more certain that the way to clear this Dungeon was not according to the Production Team's judgment.

Whether it's a three-day time limit or elimination in the middle, not being fatal means there could be a more fatal danger.

Similarly, a safe way to pass the level also means that it doesn't actually mean you can pass the level.

Clearly, the players who can participate in the Mixed-Team Competition are not stupid; they have all thought of this.

Everyone had a vague idea of what was going on.

Competition among players is one thing, but the threat posed by the Dungeon itself is another.

Undeniably, they all want to kill the others and monopolize the Dungeon rewards, but they won't blindly attack each other before they understand the Dungeon's level of danger.

After all, each additional player means more risk to be shared.

"It's good that you understand." The slovenly man relaxed.

Just then, a staff member jogged over. "Director, the ceremony is ready, shall we begin?"

"Let's begin." The disheveled man turned and waved to the players. "Let's go, let's participate in the blessing ceremony."

--

In the open forest, the Production Team members subtly formed a circle around a man wearing a headscarf, with strange face paint, who looked eccentric.

However, the players' attention was not on the man; their eyes were fixed on the transparent box opposite him.

Inside the box, which was taller than a man, there were countless skeletons piled up together. Some skeletons were pressed tightly against the glass, their dark, empty eye sockets staring straight at them, and their pale hand bones left clear finger marks on the inside of the glass.

The man called the wizard was muttering something to the box. After a while, he took out a dagger, cut his palm, and pressed it against the glass. Then, he flipped his wrist, and a rune drawn with blood gradually took shape.

The dozens of people around watched intently.

However, just as the rune was about to be completed, the man suddenly convulsed, and the rune in his palm, which was almost finished, was instantly smeared into a mess of blood.

"You can't go in here!" The man quickly took several steps back, shouting in terror, "There's something in here—"

The next second, the man seemed to lose his mind, his eyes glazed over, and he frantically lunged at the people around him.

"No entry! No entry!"

Leave now! Leave now!

He kept repeating these two sentences to himself.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

The screams of the staff member who had been tackled by the man brought those around them back to their senses.

The disheveled man immediately shouted, "Quick! Take him away!"

Seeing this chaotic scene, some players' expressions began to turn ugly.
