Chapter 219 Eating Meat!

Everyone was startled by Xu Ge's words.

Chen Wei looked at Xu Ge: "How do you know this knife has killed someone?"

Xu Ge: "The knife smells like human flesh!"

"Dry!"

Chen Wei felt a wave of nausea wash over him. He stared at Xu Ge in disbelief. "Damn! What do you mean by 'smelling human flesh'?"

"It smells like dead people!"

Li Dongshui cried out "Mommy!" and threw the dagger to the ground.

As soon as Xu Ge finished speaking, a gentle breeze blew by, and everyone felt a chill.

Zheng Tiannan frowned as he picked up the knife, brought it close to his nose and smelled it for a while. His expression changed: "It definitely smells like a dead person!"

"Holy crap! What the hell did those bastards, Sirius, choose? And how come there's a murder weapon there?!"

"Vultures appearing in the middle of the night, along with weapons—what the hell are they doing here?"

"I have a feeling this place is a bit eerie."

"Damn it! Stop talking and let's get out of here!"

The group stared at each other, unable to make up their minds.

It wasn't that they were frightened by a murder weapon, but rather that they couldn't figure out whether this was something Tianlang had deliberately arranged, or whether someone had actually died in this place.

If it's the latter, they'll need to immediately try to contact the local police!
"Hello, since you're already here!"

Kaiyuki spoke first, "We have nothing on us right now. Even if we want to find the Sirius people, we need to find the knife with the coordinates first!"

Everyone came to their senses and exclaimed, "That's right!"

Even if you want to report it to the police, you should contact the people at Tianlang first.

"Then keep looking!"

The eight people lined up again and slowly made their way up the mountain, searching as they went.

It was nighttime, and although the grass on the meadow wasn't tall, everyone had to bend over and use the moonlight to examine it carefully.

Xu Ge was able to see clearly, so he moved forward the fastest, quickly putting himself about ten meters ahead of the others.

"Xu Ge, why are you walking so fast? Have you looked carefully?" someone asked from behind.

Xu Ge was about to reply when a stench of decay suddenly filled his nostrils. He turned around and looked at everyone with a grim expression: "I fucking smell the stench of a corpse!"

"Fuck!!!"

"The victim's body?"

"The body disposal site?"

The group of people's expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly stepped forward.

Zheng Tiannan asked, "Where did you smell it?"

Xu Ge pointed ahead: "It's right there!"

"Let's go check it out... Holy crap! I found a knife too!"

"Hey! Where's another one?"

Zheng Tiannan and Kaiyoumu each discovered a short knife almost simultaneously.

The two short knives were similar in shape to the one Li Dongshui had picked up before, but there was nothing on the blades either.

Zheng Tiannan took the two short knives and smelled them, his expression turning strange: "The knives smell of death!"

Everyone:? ? ?
Li Dongshui leaned closer, looking confused: "You used three knives to kill someone?"

"What if he killed three people?" Kaiyumu guessed.

Xu Ge shook his head: "I have a feeling something's not right here. The style of this knife looks like it was specially made."

"I also think it's too much of a coincidence!" Zheng Tiannan frowned. "Let's go upstairs and take a look at the body!"

They were all soldiers, and since they were a group of people, they weren't afraid of anything. They walked up the mountain together, with Xu Ge leading the way by following the scent.

After walking for a while, everyone gradually smelled a putrid odor, and their expressions all turned serious.

"Look, there's a bone up ahead!"

Xu Ge suddenly spoke up, pointed, and everyone immediately saw a thin, long white bone in the grass.

Several veterans walked over, squatted down, and examined it carefully for a while before confirming: "This is a human shinbone!"

"There's more ahead!" Li Dongshui suddenly shouted.

The eight people were shocked. Several bones of various parts were scattered on the surrounding grass.

"This guy was dismembered, wasn't he? No wonder there were three knives... Damn! There's another one!"

Chen Wei found another short knife nearby, but it was blank.

Xu Ge couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Which jinx said that Tianlang would throw knives all over the mountain?"

"Head! There's a head over there!"

Li Dongshui suddenly pointed to a spot and exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone was shocked and quickly looked to the side. Before they could even take a step, there was a sudden rustling sound!
"Fizz!"

Two enormous shadows suddenly shot into the sky, emitting low, threatening cries.

"Holy crap! What is this?!"

Everyone was truly taken aback.

"They're vultures!" Kaiyumu exclaimed. "They must have been feeding just now!"

Everyone:! ! !
At this moment, everyone saw the head that Li Dongshui had mentioned, or more precisely, a skull with only a little flesh and blood on it!

A mountain breeze swept by, carrying a strong stench of decay mixed with the lingering smell of blood, which filled Xu Ge's nostrils, making him feel nauseous.

Zheng Tiannan looked up at the two vultures still circling above the crowd, unwilling to leave, then looked down and surveyed the surroundings. He slowly said in a deep voice, "I think I know where this place is!"

"Where is this?" Everyone looked over.

Zheng Tiannan: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Sky Burial Mountain!"

. . .

. . .

After finding out where they were, the group stood there and cursed Sirius and Thor for almost half an hour.

But despite the insults, the knife still needed to be found.

The higher you go, the stronger the smell becomes, and the more knives you find.

Various mutilated skeletons and indescribable things are appearing more and more frequently.

Once everyone reached the halfway point of the mountain, all they could see were various short knives and skeletons scattered all over the hillside.

Some knives were even buried under bones and rotting matter, requiring them to be dug out and examined to see if anything was written on them.

Everyone covered their noses with their sleeves, and every now and then you could see a few vultures roosting.

People were already close to their physical limits, and the scene and smell further triggered many to gag.

The one who suffered the most was Xu Ge, whose sense of smell was exceptionally sensitive.

He felt as if he were in a sea of ​​stench from corpses!

Even with my mouth and nose covered, the intense stench of decay still assaulted my nostrils and made my stomach churn!

But his stomach was already empty, and he could only gag but couldn't vomit anything. He could only endure the discomfort with a pale face and continue searching with the others.

No one spoke, afraid that if they opened their mouths, something would get into them.

They didn't know how much time had passed, but the moon had already passed overhead. Suddenly, Li Dongshui excitedly hummed a few times.

The numb crowd suddenly jolted and gathered around.

At Li Dongshui's feet, a short knife, half-embedded in an unidentified object, was visible, with some numbers faintly discernible on its blade.

Zheng Tiannan pinched the hilt with two fingers and carefully drew the knife, revealing a series of detailed coordinates on the blade.

"Write this down! Get out of here!"

The eight people noted down the coordinates and, not wanting to waste a moment, hurriedly staggered down the mountain.

"Hiss... Huff..."

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Xu Ge immediately took a deep breath of fresh air, but then frowned.

Our group had been up there for too long, and everyone was now covered in a strong stench of decay.

Zheng Tiannan lowered his head and sniffed his clothes, almost vomiting on the spot: "Damn! These clothes are unwearable, I'm going to throw them away when I get back!"

"Where's the map? Quickly, look at the second coordinate!"

"It seems to be not far from here, less than ten kilometers away?"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going!"

"Let's go, let's get out of here, damn it, I just stepped on something..."

"Shut up!"

A group of people fled in panic.

After walking for about an hour in the direction of the second coordinate, a fire appeared in the valley ahead.

As the group approached, they discovered a military vehicle parked in the open space, with Jiazi and two other members of the Sirius team cooking something around a pot.

Upon seeing the eight people arrive, Jiazi waved for them to come over: "You're from the first group, right? Are you all starving? Come on over!"

A group of people walked over, reeking of a foul odor. The two Sirius team members frowned slightly at the smell, but Jiazi didn't care at all, focusing on controlling the heat.

The bubbling sound from under the pot lid, accompanied by the aroma of meat, wafted out.

Li Dongshui didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down next to Jiazi: "Brother Jiazi, what delicious food are you cooking in the pot?" "Big meat knife-cut noodles!"

The tongs lifted the pot lid, revealing a large piece of pork belly still tumbling inside a pot of noodles. "Hmm, it's almost ready. There are bowls and chopsticks over there, help yourselves, dinner's ready!"

No one in the group moved.

The tongs picked up two chopsticks and used them to lift up the large piece of pork belly. Then, the tongs drew a short knife from the waist, the same style as the one on the mountain.

"This meat is hard to swallow in big chunks; it's better to cut it into slices!"

As she spoke, she used the tongs and a short knife to cut the pork belly, and pieces of varying thickness fell into the pot, where they were quickly covered by the white noodles.

"vomit..."

The group of people finally couldn't take it anymore and ran to the side to vomit.

Xu Ge cursed inwardly, he really wanted to vomit up his stomach acid and throw it into the pot!
Not long after, the tongs finished slicing the meat and said calmly, "I'll give you ten minutes to finish this pot of meat-cut noodles, or you're out."

"Damn it! You're going too far, Clamp Bro! Who forces people to eat?" Li Dongshui said irritably.

The clip didn't answer, but took out a stopwatch and started timing. Then it looked at Xu Ge and smiled: "Xu Ge, why don't you set an example?"

Xu Ge walked over to get the bowls and chopsticks with a grim expression, and the others followed closely behind.

As Jiazi just explained, eating noodles is also part of the assessment.

Xu Ge forced himself to stop thinking nonsense, his eyes fixed on the pot, and began picking noodles into his bowl.

The tongs kept putting slices of meat into his bowl, and they even picked out the fatty pieces.

"You're still young, it's the time when you're growing, you need to eat more meat!"

"Cut it up, are you sure this meat is cooked?"

"Hey, it's even more tender when it's a little bloody, eat it quickly, don't spit it out!"

. . .

. . .

Everyone felt that the ten minutes of eating noodles were even more unbearable than the several hours they had spent on the mountain.

That guy with the clip really didn't cook the meat properly!

After the eight people finished eating all the food in the pot, they all sat still, not daring to move or speak, for fear that they would be unable to hold back their vomiting.

But the clip didn't give everyone any time to adjust. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Get in the car, get in the car! I'll take you to a good place!"

"Hurry up, I'm telling you, the second group has already arrived!"

Upon hearing this, the eight men did not hesitate any longer and quickly climbed into the truck bed.

Before getting into the passenger seat, Jiazi made a point of saying, "You've passed that last round. You can throw up now, but you're not allowed to throw up in the car, or you'll all be eliminated!"

Zheng Tiannan retorted, unconvinced, "You underestimate us. We can't possibly spit out what we've eaten!"

The clip sneered: "Did you ask anyone else before you started bragging?"

Bang! The car door slammed shut, and the engine started.

Li Dongshui was the first to run to the back of the car.

"What are you doing?" Xu Ge looked at him. "You're not really going to throw up, are you?"

Li Dongshui: "Don't talk to me, I'll try my best to hold back!"

The car started to shake, and everyone's faces grew increasingly grim.

Kaiyumu cursed, "Haaaaah! The driver did this on purpose!"

Zheng Tiannan: "Everyone, hang in there, don't let them look down on us..."

"vomit!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Dongshui couldn't take it anymore and leaned over the railing to have a good time.

Everyone was already on the verge of barely holding on, and the noise and smell immediately made them all lose control.

By the time the car reached the national highway, all eight people were slumped in the car, having vomited up everything they had eaten.

Kaiyoumu looked utterly dejected: "I ate two bowls! I just swallowed those fatty meat slices whole, without even chewing them..."

"Damn it! Shut the hell up!"

Xu Ge felt his stomach start to cramp again and quickly interrupted him.

The car quickly got onto the national highway and drove for another half hour before arriving at Swan Lake. After driving along Swan Lake for another ten minutes or so, the lights ahead began to appear.

squeak!
The car stopped, and everyone was asked to get off.

Thor and a dozen or so Sirius team members stood by the lake, constantly pointing megaphones and powerful flashlights into the water.

A few curses came from the lake. Xu Ge looked over and saw a large iron cage in the chest-deep water. Eight contestants were being held inside, enduring the noise and bright light.

Thor turned around: "Oh, you guys are here too? Come on in!"

Everyone:? ? ?
thump! thump!
More than a dozen members of the Sirius team came over and kicked Xu Ge and his men into the lake.

"Tch! I thought Sirius would come up with something new, but it's just the same old stuff like the water dungeon!"

Zheng Tiannan, with a disdainful expression, was the first to step into the cage.

"Which group are you in?" Xu Ge asked after entering the cage, noticing that some of the other contestants looked familiar.

"The second group."

"How long have you been here?"

"Two hours."

Do you know how long you'll be locked up?

"I didn't say it."

"Dry!"

Everyone was in a bad mood.

From midnight last night until now, no one has had a break. After more than 20 hours of running and hundreds of kilometers of off-road driving, everyone's physical condition has long been at its limit.

Li Dongshui closed his eyes as he leaned against the edge of the cage.

Zhila! ! !

A piercing noise came from the loudspeaker, and a bright light immediately shone in. Li Dongshui quickly opened his eyes.

It seems the opposing team has no intention of allowing the players to rest.

"Hey, what's your mission?" someone in the second group asked.

Xu Ge: "Go find the knife in the pile of dead bodies."

"Damn! That easy? You guys are so lucky!"

"Simple?" Xu Ge said irritably, clinging to the railing. "The whole mountainside is full of knives!"

"Oh, so you're pretty much the same as us."

What's your mission?

"I drove over a hundred kilometers into the mountains to dig up graves! They were old graves that no one had claimed for a long time! I had no tools, so I dug them up by hand!"

"Fuck!"

The two groups started talking, and they all cursed Tianlang and his group for being perverted.

Xu Ge remembered that Yuan Chuan had told him that the tasks for the first five groups would be very easy. If this was considered easy, wouldn't the tasks for the last five groups be even more difficult?

As I was thinking, my eyelids started to close uncontrollably. The next moment, I felt a bright light pierce through my eyelids, and I immediately woke up.

Everyone remained submerged in the water until two more groups arrived and were similarly herded into cages.

Xu Ge learned from other people's conversations that this kind of water dungeon test usually doesn't end quickly, and one should be prepared to endure it for a long time.

However, everyone was already exhausted, both physically and mentally, and every extra moment they stayed was torture.

What people find most unbearable is that being soaked in water causes rapid dehydration, which leads to everyone weakening quickly.

As dawn approached, some people could no longer bear it and began asking for food and water.

"Have you noticed that there's still one group that hasn't arrived yet?" Thor shouted from the shore through a megaphone. "They've given up."

Everyone's expression changed; it turned out that another group had already been eliminated!

"You can give up too, and you can go back and have a big meal, take a hot bath, and then have a good night's sleep," Thor shouted with a laugh.

No one said a word.

Having come this far, most people are holding onto the idea that even if they drown in the lake, they shouldn't give up.

Daylight broke quickly, and the people of Sirius were eating breakfast heartily on the shore, the aroma stimulating the contestants' senses.

Xu Ge's consciousness was beginning to waver. He looked around and found that everyone else was in the same boat, with numb expressions and vacant eyes.

I don't know how much time passed, but the sun rose.

The sunlight grew increasingly glaring, and the high temperature scorched the earth.

The water temperature in the lake should have risen, but everyone's senses had become extremely dulled, and they felt nothing at all.

Xu Ge thought vaguely that even if someone came and stabbed him at this moment, he probably wouldn't feel any pain.

The sun was high overhead, and it was already noon on the third day.

The cage was quiet. Everyone's faces were peeling, and their lips were cracked, making it impossible for them to speak.

boom! boom! boom!
Suddenly, several gunshots rang out from the shore.

Everyone slowly turned their heads, only to see Thor, wearing a sun hat, reappear.

"Li Dongshui, Zhao Xiaoliang, Ma Ming, Zhao Hui, the four of you come up here!"

After Thor finished speaking, he pressed the stopwatch in his hand. "The following projects will be counted as individual time, so don't blame me for not warning you!"
