Chapter 798: Chapter 802: The Third Test 35
"Be warned, competitors who violate test rules will be subjected to the punishment of the Black Mountain Old Demon."
"Contestant, continue your endeavors, overcome the tests, obtain the inheritance rights to the Wood Immortal Mansion."
After finishing his words, three more familiar hourglasses appeared in mid-air.
Obviously, what the steward mentioned about enduring to the end probably refers to the countdown’s end.
Just when everyone was feeling that this round of tests sounded unchallenging, only Su Tang frowned.
How shall I put it?
She had a very strange feeling deep down.
This feeling existed since the second test.
These two rounds of tests actually adopted two games often played by children on the Blue Star planet.
Pictionary and 123 Statue Game.
But why would these games be used here as tests?
There’s also the name, Black Mountain Old Demon.
Su Tang always felt that she had overlooked a crucial factor, but she just couldn’t recall it.
Others may not notice it, as they have never played the statue game.
But Su Tang has.
The essence of this game is not about how long you can endure, but whether you can quickly catch the game host, or if the game host... catches you!
They retained the game’s setting, but modified the rules here?
Three hourglasses were presented right away, based on the previous two rounds’ experience, one hourglass is a fifteen-minute countdown, hence the three hourglasses here would total forty-five minutes.
But this is a test, not a game.
Would it really be as he said, that one could pass the test by merely hiding for forty-five minutes?
Su Tang didn’t believe it was likely.
There must be issues being overlooked.
Although she sensed the peculiarity, Su Tang didn’t have time to thoroughly discuss with Gaiyin.
That’s because practically the next second after the steward finished his words, the ’hee-hee’ laugh of the Black Mountain Old Demon rang in everyone’s ears.
Black Mountain Old Demon was very far from them.
Yet that ambiguous voice, neither male nor female, echoed in everyone’s ears.
"Ready? I’m going to start counting~ one, two, three!"
Because it happened so abruptly, everyone was momentarily dumbstruck, hence no one moved from their spots. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Their reactions greatly pleased the Black Mountain Old Demon.
"It seems like everyone has grasped the essence of this round of test, let’s continue then."
"Ready? I’m going to start counting~ one····"
The count this time was not as swift as the first time, instead, he dragged out the word for much longer.
Su Tang squeezed Gaiyin’s arm, "Hurry up!"
The two of them bolted forward.
Seeing their actions, Yadang and Qiu Mo followed suit.
With a lead, other people also started moving around in a daze.
"Two····"
Su Tang pulled Gaiyin along, their pace began to slow down.
She quickly said, "When you hear three, stop immediately. Until the Black Mountain Old Demon speaks again, absolutely do not move."
Su Tang’s voice was not loud, but it was enough for them to hear clearly.
Everyone nodded to indicate their understanding.
Just because their pace had slowed, doesn’t mean everyone else did too.
A few quick-witted beastmen, noticing the oddity of Su Tang and her group, also slowed down.
However, some beastmen, like wild bulls, charged ahead.
"Three!"
At the instant they heard three, Su Tang and the others all halted.
