Five days later? This time reminded Su Yu of the fifth rule of the explicit rule. The Truth Fruit appears every five days, the time limit is almost exactly the same. Is there any connection between the two?
Concealing his thoughts, Su Yu politely asked the Lake of Lies: "Can I get some water ma? Before I can find the Truth Fruit, I still need the Lie Fruit to tell me something."
"Okay ba, adventurer, since you said so, of course you can." Lake of Lies said.
After the words fell, the water of the Lake of Lies in front of Su Yu fluctuated, and a fist-sized water ball rose from the lake and flew in front of Su Yu. He raised his hand to catch it and found that there was a circle of shallow film wrapped around the water to prevent it from falling.
"Thank you for your generosity."
After Su Yu thanked, he returned to the place as Lie Guo said. The place was still the same as when he left. Lie fruit was hanging high on the tree. It saw Su Yu coming from a distance, especially the water ball in Su Yu's hand. Lie Guo shook its body excitedly and shouted loudly: "You are so awesome a, you actually got the lake water from that stinky old man!"
Are Lie Guo and Lake of Lies not on good terms ma? The tone of the two sounds mutually exclusive.
Su Yu came under the tree: "I have brought the lake water, you should answer my question."
"Give me the lake water first!" Lie Guo couldn't wait: "As long as you give it to me, our transaction is established, I will answer your questions, Summoner."
[Rosa Civilization passing by, Lie fruit, in our eyes, ten out of ten sentences are false!]
[This is a map reproduced by the Interstellar Alliance, all specially cultivated. Personally, I think there should be a restriction that they must tell the truth after the transaction, otherwise if every sentence is really false, this game will not be played.]
[Yes, if it was all lies, contestants would come out and tear down the Interstellar Tournament official.]
The live broadcast room was discussing, and Su Yu also guessed so, so he handed over the water of the Lake of Lies, mantis stepped on mantis, reaching the height of the two overlapping before sending the lake water to the Lie Fruit.
The fist-sized water ball was quickly absorbed by the Lie Fruit.
"You should answer my question." Su Yu.
"No o, I won't answer you." Lie Fruit said lazily, changing from the previous attentiveness, don't know what it thought of, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Hehehehehehe, since you are so stupid, I will kindly remind you ba, Lie Fruit can only tell lies, not truth~"
[Eh? It's really cheating people, morever why is the tone so cheap?]
[My fist is already hard across the screen, what kind of magical things does the Rosa civilization have?]
[Lie Fruit can only tell lies? If the hidden rules are not in them, then where are they?]
[I understand. In fact, the Interstellar Tournament official is itching to play tricks again.]
"What a noisy voice." A gentle and elegant voice came from behind Su Yu, along with this voice, the figure hiding in a tree also jumped down silently and landed lightly on the ground.
This voice appeared ten points abruptly, Su Yu was slightly startled. When he came back just now, he had subconsciously scanned the surroundings with his mental power and found nothing unusual, including the mantises, iron blood bug and other Zergs, they did not notice anything unusual.
But now this voice... Is there another lie fruit here? Or... someone? If it is the latter, then the opponent's strength must be above him.
Su Yu quickly turned around, trying to stay calm, looking towards the source of the sound, his expression was slightly gloomy, things were developing in a bad direction. Of the two guesses, the latter became true. There was a man in an unknown uniform standing in the place where there was no one just now.
The four mantises reacted quickly, jumping in front of Su Yu and on both sides of the strange man. The former was for protection, while the latter wanted to siege. At the same time, the iron blood vine on Su Yu's wrist began to crawl restlessly, with the sharp end slightly raised and sticking out of the sleeve, revealing a small green head. It looked very cute, but in fact, this was already a very obvious preparation for the attack of the iron blood vine.
"Please don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions." Stared at by four mantises about two meters high, plus a soldier worker ant staring at him, the strange man's expression remained calm, even the smile on his face did not change.
Noticing this, Su Yu could not let down his guard.
"I'm just a little curious about you, I don't have any ill intentions. If my hiding behavior just now disturbed you, please forgive me." Northfield's eyes stayed on Su Yu, he looked at him slowly without any malice.
This sentence is not a lie, Northfield is not willing to lie about it. It is indeed a coincidence that he met Su Yu here. The teleportation of the game happened to send him and Su Yu to the same place... Yes, that's right, he did not come to this place after Su Yu left, but was teleported to a place not far away at the same time as Su Yu.
Northfield didn't know what happened to him. After discovering Su Yu, his first reaction was not to kill him directly, or even to walk out and contact him openly. Instead, he used a speed invisible to the naked eye. Before Su Yu found him, he stepped on the tree trunk to gain leverage and jumped onto the tree. He used the lush branches and leaves to cover his body, when Su Yu's mental power swept over, he also restrained his own breath to the extreme.
It was like... a thief.
"..." Northfield didn't understand why he was like this, but after careful consideration, he felt that his behavior was normal. Anyway, no matter how his thoughts changed, his body still silently maintained a posture between half squatting and half kneeling, holding the trunk of the tree, and listening quietly to the conversation between Su Yu and the fruit.
Originally, Northfield was not going to come out, but the sharp laughter of the fruit made him feel gloomy. When he came back to his senses, the words had already come out of his mouth. In this case, hiding was meaningless, and he jumped down from the tree.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh——!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! !]
[Cai Yan's provocation will not succeed ba! Don't a, I just became a fan of this contestant!]
[It's over, it's over, it's over, going to die, going to die, going yo die, the live broadcast is going to be over, I guess.]
[Quick, quick, quick, contestant Su Yu, take all those bugs back!]
When they just heard someone talking, the live broadcast room was still chatting with disdain, who is this idiot contestant? It's fine if he hides, but since he's already hiding, he should just sneak attack a. When he was halfway hiding, he suddenly spoke and startled everyone! What is he trying to do?
If he doesn't want to sneak attack, why hide? If he wants to sneak attack, why talk? !
Then Su Yu turned his sight behind him, and the live broadcast screen on the light screen also shifted. When the audience saw the face of the person behind Su Yu, the barrage stopped instantly. A second later, the audience began to look for the previous barrage and quickly deleted what they said.
The barrage was deleted, just as if nothing happened.
It turned out to be Lord Northfield, then it's okay, you can do whatever you want.
It's impossible not to post barrages. A live broadcast without barrages has no soul. It can only survive by posting barrages like this. So after a while, the barrages still started to chatter in a low voice.
Some of the audience watched the live broadcast of the previous game and remembered the incident that Cai Yan had provoked. The rest of the audience who didn't know the inside story immediately understood. The Zerg are xenophobic, and this Earth contestant Su Yu can control bugs. Thinking about it this way, wouldn't the hatred value be full? This plot development is simply going to kill him on the spot.
In the first mechanical maze game, every time Su Yu was in danger, the audience couldn't wait to see this Earth contestant get into trouble, but now that the first game is over, they have been repeatedly slapped in the face by the plot reversal. Now that the second game has begun, they don't want this Earth contestant to die.
The problem is... the possibility of escaping from Northfield is too small!
Is Su Yu strong ma? After the first live broadcast, the audience in the live broadcast room can give a positive answer. This Earth contestant should be strong. It may be lucky to escape danger once, but it must be strong to escape danger many times... But can Su Yu be stronger than Northfield ma? Of course it's impossible!
The audience's hearts were lifted up involuntarily. They were so nervous that they forgot one thing, that is, Northfield's apology to Su Yu just now. Maybe they were too shocked by Northfield's appearance, they were all in a hurry to delete the previous comments, and completely ignored Northfield's words.
Su Yu heard this sentence clearly, but he didn't believe it. Putting aside other things, just the fact that this person was hiding was enough to make him alert, besides, this person's strength was even higher than his.
"..." His behavior was indeed misunderstood, but Northfield couldn't explain why he did this.
The Lie Fruit hanging on the branch was excited: "Fight, fight."
Northfield glanced at the Lie Fruit, this time he didn't feel irritated, but a little bit of relief, and said: "If you want to say it, there is another reason. I want to know what the Lie Fruit will say... I didn't expect it to be so noisy and boring."
This reason is more normal than the previous one, but Su Yu is still not ready to let down his guard. His right hand touched his left wrist, which was where the Iron Blood Vine was entangled. Because of his emotional changes, he disturbed these Zergs, causing the Iron Blood Vine, Mantis and other Zergs to become restless.
Su Yu obviously won't let down his guard because of his behavior.
During the silent confrontation, Northfield felt a little strange in his heart. This emotion came quickly and disappeared even faster, almost in an instant, even he himself could not recognize what this emotion was.
"Unripe Lie Fruit will die if you pick it, it is also a normal food that can be eaten." Northfield said, took a last look at Su Yu, his figure was so fast that it seemed to turn into a gust of wind.
His action attracted the Zerg present. All the mantises that were in a stalemate rushed towards him, including the soldier worker ant. If the Iron Blood Vine had not been held down by Su Yu, it would have flown out and launched an attack on Northfield. However, the latter was so fast that the mantises and soldier worker ant all pounced in vain.
'Come back, don't chase.' Su Yu's order stopped the Zerg present from continuing to chase, and the mantises that had already jumped far away also returned to Su Yu's side one after another and stood obediently.
[...] The silent system wanted to speak, but stopped. After repeating it several times, it still couldn't figure out the strange, vague and inexplicable feeling it had when it saw Northfield just now. Forget it, it won't say it for the time being. Now it can't explain it clearly, and it will only make King worry in vain.
"What do you want to do???" The Lie Fruit on the branch saw Su Yu finish handling things and cast his eyes back to it. Recalling what the man said before leaving, it panicked and shouted: "He is lying to you, don't you know ma? If I am a fake Lie Fruit, you will be eliminated from the competition immediately if you pick me!"
Su Yu walked under the tree and waved.
Four tall mantises surrounded him and raised their heads together. Their inverted triangle heads and protruding compound eyes looked really creepy. If ordinary people saw them, they would probably faint on the spot. The Lie Fruit on the tree was not much better, screaming: "What are you going to do? Don't come over! Don't you just want to ask me a question ma? I will answer you!!!"
This Lie Fruit has lost its credibility in Su Yu's heart. He would rather believe that contestant, a contestant who is stronger than him, can kill him and make him eliminated. There is no need to deceive him in a roundabout way. It is meaningless.
'Pick it off and give it to me. ' Su Yu said in his heart.
The next second after the order was issued, four mantises rushed to jump onto the tree. Amid the screams of the Lie Fruit, one of the mantises seized the opportunity, cut off the branch with a sickle, and brought it to Su Yu.
The branch was cut off, but the Lie Fruit was still alive and kicking, still stubborn: "You can't do this, I am a real Lie Fruit, you will regret it if you don't wait for me to mature before picking it."
"Only when it is dark will the Lie Fruit grow around contestants." Either his initial guess was wrong, this one is not a Lie Fruit, or this one is just the infancy of the Lie Fruit. In short, no matter which guess is true, it will not be a Lie Fruit according to the rules.
Su Yu picked the Lie Fruit and the screams stopped abruptly.
He waited for a few seconds, there was no change around him, it was extremely quiet, the system did not come out to say that he was eliminated, his guess was right, and the contestant who left was indeed not lying to him.
Staring at the dark green fruit in his hand, thinking for about three seconds, he chose to eat this fruit.
The flesh tasted surprisingly good when bitten open, after swallowing the flesh, a small amount of warm energy spread out from the flesh, like a wisp of wind, gently brushing across his body... Feeling this subtle energy, Su Yu guessed that normal people would feel full after eating the fruit ba, but he didn't feel anything, he could only feel the energy, because of his special physique.
It seems that in the Forest of Lies, this is the food provided to contestants.
[Congratulations to contestant Su Yu, you have obtained a hidden clue.]
[——Lie fruits are not all lies, they sometimes tell the truth.]
A prompt sounded in Su Yu's ears, he couldn't help but look surprised. Is this... a hidden rule? Is it because he ate that fruit? So this is the way to get hidden rules?
But... this clue says that the lie fruit can also tell the truth?
Su Yu still remembered that just now, the lie fruit laughed and said, lie fruit only tells lies, not truth.
