The boy replied, "I come from a small town in Alabama too. I dropped out of high school in my second year and worked at a furniture factory."
The girl's eyes widened, but she could not see anyone around her with the scarf tied around her eyes.
"Why did you drop out?" she asked, "I thought everyone would go to college in this time and age…"
The boy smiled and said, "I'm not good at studying, and I want to relieve the burden on my family as soon as possible."
The girl said, "I'm not doing well in my studies either. My parents enrolled me in a lot of tuition classes before I barely got into a second-tier university."
She smiled mischievously. "Actually, I really don't like studying. But college is good too. It's hard working in the factory, isn't it?"
The boy said, "It's alright. I'm still young. It's fine to work harder."
"Wow, you have a good mentality and you're very brave."
The girl truly felt that he was very powerful. She smiled and said, "Let's meet in reality after we get out."
The boy nodded. "Okay."
The girl laughed happily. "What are we considered? Game buddies? Hahaha."
[Ding! All players, please note that five hours have passed. There are still five hours until the end of the game. All players, please do your best to get through the level. Good luck!]
The boy's grip on the girl's hand tightened as he muttered, "That's a quick hour."
The girl pulled the ribbon from her eyes and said, "That's because we're talking as we walk. It feels like time passes quickly when we don't focus on it."
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and the black cloth fluttered…
The sinister and terrifying aura reached its peak.
The girl instinctively leaned closer to the boy.
The guardian beast did not appear immediately.
Time passed minute by minute. Waiting for danger in danger was the most torturous.
It was like a rusty blunt knife, scraping one's flesh and slowly torturing one to death.
The black cloth continuously rolled up like layers of black walls. The ghastly and frightening aura became increasingly dense.
The two of them swallowed nervously. The girl tried her best to steady her heartbeat and said, "Could it be that there are no guardian beasts this time?"
Just as she finished speaking, a silver shadow flew over.
The boy reacted quickly and immediately pulled the girl away.
The guardian beast landed on the ground and crashed into the floor with a loud thud, as though a piece of metal had been smashed down.
"It's an iron rooster!"
This iron rooster was twice the size of a normal rooster.
All the feathers on its body were made of metal plates. Only its eyes and mouth were structured as a normal rooster.
The iron feathers made a cold metallic sound.
It flapped its huge iron wings and pounced towards them.
It seemed to have been hungry for a long time and had finally found two bugs. It was so excited that it cried out and even drooled.
The boy held the girl's hand tightly and turned to run.
The girl asked, "Why are you running? It's just a rooster. Moreover, it's much smaller than the other guardian beasts. It's easier to deal with."
The previous victory gave her full confidence. After seeing that the guardian beast this time was a rooster, she was even happier.
It was just a rooster. Even if it was covered in iron and was invulnerable, they could still wrap it in black cloth and suffocate it to death.
How simple.
The boy's face was serious as he ran and explained: "Don't you notice? Its wings are sharp, like blades."
The girl said, "Then let's wrap a few more layers of black cloth. Once the ten minutes are up, we'll win."
The moment she finished speaking, the rooster had already flown in front of her.
The girl immediately broke free from the boy's hand and grabbed the black cloth to wrap around the rooster.
