“Another snake?!” Bai Youwei was dumbfounded.

Ever since they found out that this was the Gluttonous Snake Maze, they have subconsciously convinced that there was only one snake in the maze! How could there be another snake?

How many of those monsters are there?

“… wait a minute, why did that guy mislead us?” Bai Youwei furrowed her brows, unable to comprehend, “Doesn’t he want to get out?”

“Could it be that we got the wrong idea?” Tan Xiao said casually, “In some Gluttonous Snake game modes, it’s a multi-player situation, where multiple snakes are racing to eat beans while avoiding each other, otherwise they’ll turn into beans themselves…”

Shen MO glanced at him, “He must have deliberately misled us, otherwise, he wouldn’t have said that the exit to the maze would only open when the Gluttonous Snake reaches its largest state.”

Tan Xiao pondered for a while, and then he realized, muttering:” Yeah… If there are many Gluttonous Snakes in the maze, which one has to meet what conditions to trigger the Maze’s exit to open?… Dammit!”

Tan Xiao angrily jumped to his feet and cursed: “They dare to trick us!”

He turned to leave, intent on retribution.

Chang Weicai stopped him, persuasively saying, “You’re injured, take care of the wound first, you’re still bleeding… really now…”

Tan Xiao frowned and touched the injury on his waist. There was a sticky substance mixed with the blood. It was itchy and stinging, quite uncomfortable.

“Damn, the monster’s teeth better not be poisonous,” Tan Xiao said cautiously, sitting back down with a pale face.

Theoretically, after their data upgrade from the previous Maze, their healing abilities had all improved to some degree, a minor flesh wound shouldn’t be bleeding for so long.

Bai Youwei helped him clean the wound with a tissue, which came away covered in a sticky substance. It was like blood but not quite, more like a mixture of some kind of glue and blood.

She stared blankly at the dark red, viscous substance.

Shen MO said, “Regardless of the purpose, it’s clear he lied. There is more than

one snake. If we want to open the exit of the maze, we need to think of another way.”

“He was smiling just now…” Bai Youwei suddenly said.

Everyone looked at her.

Shen MO asked,” What?”

Bai Youwei furrowed her brows in thought and said slowly, “Just now…when the snake came, I saw him smile…”

After a pause, she raised her head to look at Shen MO, her tone assertive, “He’s not afraid of the Gluttonous Snake.”

“Why?” Tan Xiao was puzzled, “It’s so huge. Isn’t he afraid of the snake eating him? I’d rather face a hundred little monsters than face that gigantic snake!”

Bai Youwei was taken aback.

Yeah, why wasn’t he afraid?

She recalled carefully, her face growing increasingly pale: “He is afraid of the little monsters…”

When the Skinning Monster tried to enter, that man scared himself into crying. It didn’t seem as if he was pretending.

A snake as big as a building didn’t scare him, but the Skinning Monster which can kill with one jab scared him? That doesn’t make sense…

Bai Youwei looked at Tan Xiao’s wound, then at the blotch of viscous gel-like substance on the tissue, her eyebrows furrowing in thought. She smeared the substance on the tissue onto the table. It was deep red and soft red, stickier than blood, softer than flesh, unidentifiable.

Why wasn’t he scared?

Could it be that he…

Bai Youwei’s face turned pale suddenly. She abruptly looked up at Tan Xiao.

Tan Xiao was shocked by her gaze, and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with my wound?”

“Chang Weicai! Get the mud out!” Bai Youwei suddenly ordered.

Chang Weicai was quick to react and reached into his pocket.

Tan Xiao was confused, “Wha…what’s wrong? It’s just a little cut, isn’t using the mud a bit excessive…”

Before he could finish, Chang Weicai had already brought over the mud…
