The owner of the tavern is an ordinary uncle. From Benjamin's observation these days, he is just like the ordinary people living here, drinking and chatting every day, nothing special.
However, when he saw the red and black card, his eyes showed a bit of awe.
"Come with me." He accepted the card and said.
Seeing this, Benjamin nodded, followed the tavern owner, passed the back door of the tavern, and finally came to a sparsely populated street corner. At the corner of the street, there was nothing but a large carriage.
The tavern owner pointed to the carriage.
"Go up there and it will take you where you want to go."
Benjamin was still a little confused.
Isn’t this already done? Why don’t you explain it to others? Why does he still not know what this "Seven Days of Hell" is
However, just as he was about to ask, the tavern owner turned back without even the slightest intention of paying attention to him.
When Benjamin saw this, he could only shake his head and walked towards the carriage.
From the looks of it, this isn't the final destination either—they still have to move the venue.
"Come up quickly, it's the last car." The driver looked like he was an illegal mercenary. He glared at Benjamin and said.
But at this moment, Benjamin discovered that there were many people sitting in the carriage.
Most of them were burly and strong men, wearing thick leather armor and carrying sharp swords. They sat inside without saying a word, exuding all kinds of fierce auras, as if they were going to rob.
They also looked at Benjamin. Probably because Benjamin's appearance was too out of tune with them, many people showed surprised expressions. However, they still chose to remain silent and did not speak.
Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
These are the other people who participated in the "Seven Days of Hell".
Although I still have a lot of questions, I scanned it again with the water element induction method and found nothing wrong, and there was no trace of the mage. So, without asking any further questions, he climbed into the carriage.
Anyway, he has nothing to be afraid of. Let's see what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd.
After Benjamin got on the carriage, the coachman waved his whip, and the carriage began to move forward rapidly. After a while, they left the town and continued walking north of the town.
"Where is the place further north of here?" Benjamin asked the system when he saw this.
"It's a forest." The system replied, "It's a very remote place. Let alone people, even Warcraft is rarely seen. It may be suitable for them to cause trouble."
… woods
After hearing this, a flash of realization flashed in Benjamin's eyes.
Could it be that... these people are engaged in a battle royale
Although it is just a random guess, if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. "Seven Days of Hell" sounds very much like something with a time limit, which is very consistent with the setting of a survival game.
Thinking of this, Benjamin looked at the other people sitting in the carriage, and his eyes became a little subtle. Although they are riding in the same carriage now and everyone is in peace, but after a while, they will have to fight each other to the death.
Still, it's a little strange.
How to make money from this survival game
Those underground mercenary organizations must be organizing this event to make money. Putting a bunch of people in the woods to kill each other sounds like fun, but it won't make any money.
At this moment, Benjamin wanted to ask the other mercenaries who participated in the "Seven Days of Hell" or the coachman in front. But in fact, the atmosphere in the entire carriage was horribly dull, as if someone had cast a spell on it, without any life at all. Every time Benjamin looked at someone, he would be glared back at him fiercely.
Benjamin guessed that even if he spoke, it would be as if others didn't hear him.
Therefore, based on the principle of keeping a low profile, he chose to remain silent.
The woods mentioned by the system are not too far from Tori Town. About half an hour later, the carriage finally arrived at its destination, and Benjamin followed the other mercenaries on the carriage and got out of the carriage one after another.
But at this moment, what they saw in front of them was not just a forest.
There was a large group of people surrounding the woods, the largest number of which were of course typical mercenaries. But in addition to the mercenaries, Benjamin even saw several mages, which surprised him.
In addition, he even saw a lot of guys wearing expensive clothes. They looked full of fat and wealthy people, and they were definitely not suitable for fighting.
What are these people here for
A somewhat bad premonition gradually arose in Benjamin's heart.
"You guys came really slowly."
After they got off the carriage, the mercenary who handed Benjamin the red and black card also walked out of the crowd and cursed.
The driver laughed along with him and chatted a few words with the mercenary. Immediately afterwards, they brought Benjamin and his group over.
And during this process, those guys who looked like wealthy businessmen also looked at them, pointing, and nodding from time to time, showing expressions of satisfaction.
Benjamin felt a chill when he saw it.
What are these people here for
While thinking this, soon, Benjamin and his team gathered together with the contestants who had come here before and the people from the mercenary organization. Benjamin took a look and saw, well... there were probably more than twenty people participating in the "Seven Days of Hell" after three victories.
Those who can come here must be ruthless characters with extraordinary fighting ability.
I don’t know what to do next.
But... they are all here, shouldn't the money be distributed
Benjamin thinks so, and certainly the other contestants do too. Some of them shouted out uncontrollably: "Derek! We are all here, it's time for you to distribute the money."
Others also cheered for a while.
Hearing this, the mercenary named Derek smiled and said, "What's the rush? I have to explain the rules of the game to you first. Don't worry, we will never default on our debt."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands. Then, a mercenary suddenly appeared, pushing a small cart filled with heavy bags one after another, and walked slowly towards them.
Suddenly, the eyes of all the contestants were attracted.
Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Through the feedback from the water element, he could see that five thousand gold coins were equally divided into more than twenty bags. Obviously, this move shows that it is impossible for everyone to get five thousand gold coins. Do these people really want to play a survival game
So... those guys dressed as rich people come here to place bets
Benjamin still felt weird.
"This is a bag containing gold coins. Each of you can take one later. All the bags add up to a total of five thousand gold coins." Derek also spoke and said slowly, "However, before you get the gold coins, each of you must You must surrender your weapons and twist your own hands."
Suddenly, all the contestants became popular.
"What the hell did you say?"
"If you dare to move my hand, try it!"
Derek still smiled and continued: "These are our game rules. If you don't want to abide by them, please leave by yourself. You must enter the woods with gold coins, and then survive in the woods for seven days. During these seven days, you You can kill each other and take each other's gold coins. The person who survives in the end can leave here with all the gains."
Hearing this, the contestants suddenly fell silent and looked at each other with hostility in their eyes.
It seems that these people are quite confident in their abilities and feel that they must be the most powerful one and can get all the gold coins alive.
The sprained hand is not a serious injury, but it is just to make the battle more difficult. In the face of enough gold coins, everything is not a problem. After all, if they dare to come, it means they are ready to risk their lives in exchange for money.
Only Benjamin shook his head secretly in his heart.
"Then... what do these people around here do?" He suddenly said, pointing at those guys who looked like wealthy businessmen.
Hearing this, the other contestants looked at Benjamin with strange eyes, as if they didn't understand why he cared about this.
However, after hearing this, Derek let out a short laugh, looked over with some admiration, and said: "Good observation skills. These people are the big sponsors of our 'Seven Days of Hell' .”
really…
Benjamin didn't speak, an idea had already appeared in his mind.
And his idea was confirmed by Derek's next words.
"After you sprain your hands and enter the woods, these adults, accompanied by our elite members, will also enter the woods and hunt you." He smiled and said, "You can't fight back, otherwise, our specially invited mages will Kill you to pieces."
"And during these seven days, you can only keep running away, trying to survive, and add more fun to our sponsor."
