Nancy's group was also running. Felicia was afraid that Nancy's stamina would not be able to keep up, so she grabbed her hand and ran.
After running for a short while, the frail and weak girl was panting as her face turned red.
Felicia hollered, "Hold on a little longer. Wait for my command, and we'll follow the plan."
"Yeah."
Nancy nodded.
The guardian beast roared and chased after them.
Its cumbersome body charged into the black cloth without any scruples, tearing them into pieces.
After clearing the obstacles, it continued chasing. Its thick limbs stepped on the ground, causing it to shake.
Especially when one looked at its pair of green eyes, it was filled with a fierce and violent aura.
Felicia held onto Nancy's hand and ran with all her might. She pulled aside the black cloth that blocked her way while calculating the time and strength in her mind.
When it was time, she shouted, "Get ready!"
Then, the two of them ran in different directions.
When they came to the next piece of black cloth, they simultaneously lifted the black cloth and stepped aside.
The guardian beast followed closely behind and dived right in.
Unexpectedly, the two ladies did not run away. Instead, they made a move to trap it.
They tugged at the edges of the black cloth and twisted it back and forth, wrapping its entire body inside.
They even tied a knot at the end.
The guardian beast charged forward in this state.
The two rabbit ears were like sharp knives, violently cutting through the black cloth.
Obviously, this method of trapping it would not last long.
Felicia untied the belt on her coat and pulled it out.
"Nancy, stand further away."
"Okay." Nancy immediately backed off.
Felicia made a run for it, she grabbed the beast's long fur and climbed onto its back.
Nancy's teary eyes moved slightly. She could understand Felicia's intention to strangle it with her belt.
Sure enough, Felicia tried several times before she finally managed to put the belt on the neck of the deer.
She used all her strength to pull it up.
The guardian beast felt the pain of suffocation and became even more irritable. Its limbs were stomping around on the ground, and its furry long tail was swinging like a whip.
Nancy took a few steps back and stood quietly at the side.
The headband youth and middle-aged man used the same method as well.
They first wrapped the deer in a black cloth, then pulled out their belts to strangle it.
As long as they did not damage the black cloth, they would not be breaking the rules of the game.
"Sir, let's tie up our belts and use our strength together."
"Okay."
When a person is in danger, other than being afraid, it will trigger their greatest hidden potential.
The young man tied his belt tightly, and the middle-aged man grabbed the fur on the beast's head to stop it from moving.
"Quick!"
"Okay." The young man quickly wrapped his belt around its neck.
"Sir, now!"
The middle-aged man quickly grabbed the other side, and the two of them exerted strength together.
The guardian beast roared loudly. Its deep voice was especially terrifying in this gloomy and empty place.
But at this moment, they could not care about anything else. They only had one thought.
That was to kill the guardian beast and get out of this stupid game.
Compared to the "smooth" progress of these two groups, the third group appeared somewhat pathetic.
The boy also thought of a way to use the black cloth to entangle the guardian beast.
But just as they were about to do it, the girl flinched and stood rooted to the ground, her face pale with fright.
The boy could only give up and run for his life while grabbing her hand.
The girl apologized while crying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I was too scared. I don't know why I couldn't move."
The boy felt a little helpless. As he ran, he said, "I'm just as scared as you are. This is the first time I've experienced something like this in my life, but we have to overcome our fear. Otherwise, there's only death."
The girl shook her head in tears: "I can't help it. I'm so scared. I'm so confused."
Roar—
"The guardian beast has caught up. Stop crying and run. We need to survive first."
"Yeah."
The boy said, "Let's run forward first. After running for a while, we'll turn to the right. If we run around, we might be able to get rid of it."
"I'll listen to you."
...
Felicia was thrown up and down as she sat on the guardian beast. Her hands gripped her belt tightly, refusing to let go. She panted as she said, "Not good, I'm running out of energy."
Nancy looked anxious as she tapped her fingers helplessly, "What should I do now? How can I help you?"
"You don't have to. I can do this alone." She gritted her teeth and squeezed her hand harder—
The guardian beast became even more agitated, and the layers of the black cloth binding it became fewer and fewer.
Once it broke free, they would lose this opportunity.
Nancy subconsciously took a few steps forward as if she wanted to help, but her eyes were fixed on Felicia.
In the end, she did not notice the danger around her and was hit by a thick tail.
She cried out in pain and her slender body fell out.
"Nancy!" Felicia subconsciously looked down.
The guardian beast's body was too huge. She tried her best to look down but could not see the girl below.
Instead, because of her distraction, the belt nearly slipped out of her hand.
Felicia immediately held onto her belt and asked, "Nancy, are you alright?"
The girl's weak voice came from below. "I-I'm fine. I'm not injured. Don't worry about me."
"Be careful. Don't get too close to it."
As Nancy glanced upward, her aura changed tremendously.
She grabbed the beast's hind legs with both hands and slid her slim body under its stomach.
Then she pulled the dagger from her hidden pocket and stabbed it into its stomach without hesitation!
Roar!!!
The guardian beast let out a heaven-shaking cry. Because of the pain, it jumped up even more crazily like a wild horse that had lost its reins.
Felicia was dizzy from the shaking, and her belt loosened.
As for the girl under the beast's stomach, her eyes were bright. Blood stained her pale and delicate face as she held the dagger tightly.
Her entire body was filled with a cold and emotionless mechanical feeling, even if there was a horrifying image of a beast's stomach being torn open above her head.
However, she did not show any expression, not even disgust. She was neither afraid nor disgusted.
She was cold and firm like a messenger from hell as if she was used to such situations.
There was only one goal — to win this game!
...
The youth with the headband was sweating profusely as he tightened his belt and shouted, "Deer! Today, either you die or I die!"
The middle-aged man tried his best to pull it to the other side as well. Both of them had different degrees of wounds on their bodies. They had been cut by two long ears during the fight.
The mud on their bodies had already dried up. Now, with their wounds added on, it was hard to describe their current state.
"Young man, give it one last push. It's about to die."
"Alright, one, two, three!"
All of a sudden, their hands felt lighter, and the guardian beast trapped in the middle disappeared. The two of them were caught off guard and could not stop their strength in time, so they crashed into each other due to inertia.
Instead of feeling pain, they were pleasantly surprised.
A piece of paper appeared at their feet as the young man quickly picked it up. There was a "front" on it.
"What does this mean?" He looked at the middle-aged man blankly.
