An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

Just as she reached the edge of a collapsed mine pit.

A muddy hand suddenly emerged from the pile of rubble ahead.

The lower half of a miner's body was completely buried in thick rubble, with only his upper body barely visible.

"Help...help me..."

Upon seeing Lu Xueyao, the miner's eyes blazed with a desperate will to survive: "Junior Sister, I've been caught in a mine collapse, my leg is stuck! Please help me! If you pull me out, I'll give you all the Blood Fiend Stones I have!"

This scene seemed familiar. Viewers in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room who had just returned from visiting the British Empire's live stream room were instantly in an uproar upon seeing this similar opening.

"Holy crap! It's that trick again!"

"Xueyao, don't believe him! That purple-haired monster from the neighboring country, the one with the strange pet, just got smashed into mincemeat and eliminated because she believed this kind of trick!"

"By believing in him, you'll trigger the inevitable death rule, and he can also infinitely regenerate health through self-hypnosis. He's practically invincible!"

The screen was flooded with comments, but unfortunately Lu Xueyao couldn't see them at all.

However, Lu Li, who was in Lu Xueyao's sea of ​​consciousness, just shook his head slightly with disdain when he heard this familiar cry for help.

"I've seen this kind of clumsy trick eight hundred times with my eyes closed back in the Yellow Springs Demon Sect ten thousand years ago. The demon cultivators who fought each other for minerals back then acted it out much more realistically."

Although Lu Li was limited by the rules, he was unable to directly see through the specific murder pattern of this strange creature.

But even a fool could tell that in this dangerous instance, if he were to attempt a rescue out of greed, he would most likely step into a trap that would trigger the killing pattern.

"Xueyao, don't believe a single word it says."

Lu Li said coldly, "Send this deceased senior brother on his way and help him find peace."

Lu Xueyao instantly understood her brother's meaning. For her now, there was no psychological burden at all about killing such a seemingly pitiful person.

Because the rules were clearly stated before entering the instance: apart from the Chosen Ones, there are no living NPCs here; they are all deadly monsters!

"Okay, bro."

Lu Xueyao stopped and looked coldly at the deceitful creature that was still putting on a show.

Instead of rushing to her aid, she simply flipped her hand and summoned the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"Starving Ghost, time to get to work!"

"roar!"

A terrifying roar, like that of a hungry beast, exploded inside the mine!

Having advanced to Rank A and grown to nearly five meters tall, resembling a dark blue-green mountain of flesh, the Starving Monster suddenly descended in front of Lu Xueyao.

When its crimson eyes, which inherited the ability of the Demon Eye, saw the Deceitful Demon on the ground, a greedy desire to devour it flashed in its eyes.

"What...what do you want to do?" The deceptive face couldn't maintain its pretense for a moment. Feeling the eerie and terrifying pressure of the A-level, it screamed in terror.

The Starving Ghost didn't waste any words. Its massive body lunged forward, and multiple rules that instilled despair instantly erupted around it!

In mid-air, a thick rope appeared out of nowhere, and like lightning, it tightly wrapped around the neck of the Deceitful Ghost, forcibly lifting it upside down from the pile of rubble.

Immediately afterwards, a deep, eerie pool spread out beneath its feet, blocking its escape route.

Countless jet-black, eerie hairs pierced its limbs like steel needles.

The crimson light in the eyes of the Starving Ghost pulled it directly into an illusion!

With so many overlapping and overlapping patterns of murder!

Although the Deceitful Demon frantically activated its core ability, constantly roaring "I'm not hanging! I'm not bleeding!" it attempted to forcibly reverse the rules by making the deception come true.

However, under the overwhelming power and sheer numbers, its self-hypnosis simply cannot keep up with the speed of rule destruction. Often, just as the marks on its neck are healed, its limbs are severed by the strange hair, ultimately leading to a tragic supernatural backlash!

"Snap!"

Taking advantage of the moment when its rules collapsed, the starving ghost bit the twitching deceitful ghost in mid-air into two pieces, then swallowed it whole!

Because Lu Xueyao is the owner of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, she has an absolute spiritual connection with the Starving Ghost.

The moment the starving ghost successfully digested the strange creature, Lu Xueyao also clearly learned about the strange ability that the other party had just inherited.

"This... this is the ability to make deception come true?"

Upon learning about the incredible mechanism behind this ability, Lu Xueyao couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and joy in her eyes.

"Given enough supernatural power, one could even forcibly recover from a fatal wound through deception? If used properly, this ability would be an absolute life-saving and counter-attack skill in the struggle for survival!"

The viewers in the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room, who had been worried, suddenly erupted in a thunderous roar of praise and celebration.

"Holy crap! That was so fucking awesome!"

"That chosen one of the Purple Pets from the Kingdom of the Never-Setting Sun was toyed with to death by this thing, but Lu Xueyao, on the other hand, simply closed the door and unleashed the hounds, not only taking them all down in one go, but also swallowing them whole!"

Lu Xueyao: I heard you can lie to yourself that you're not injured? No problem, I'll just eat you up and see how you lie this time!

……

Meanwhile, in another area of ​​the Yellow Springs Demon Sect—in a pill-refining room on the Pill Refining Peak.

After a spatial distortion, Xiao Fan appeared here, clutching his head and stumbling.

He was teleported here along with several other bewildered Chosen Ones.

One of the men standing next to Xiao Fan was a dark-skinned man with a full beard; he was none other than the Chosen One from India, Rohan Kumar.

At this moment, all their clothes had changed, and they had all put on the lowest-level gray linen clothes of the Yellow Spring Demon Sect.

Their current status is—drug slaves.

Since Xiao Fan was not bound to the National Fortune System, he couldn't hear the long string of dungeon rule prompts at all.

Therefore, he was completely in the dark, having no idea where he was or what his situation was.

But after all, he was a "chosen one" who had experienced life-and-death battles and had been taught by the remnant soul of a quasi-emperor. Without knowing the situation, he wisely chose to remain on the sidelines and kept his eyes lowered.

Just then.

"Squeak—"

The heavy wooden door of the alchemy room was slowly pushed open, and a pungent, nauseating smell of medicine wafted out.

A strange figure, pale as paper and dressed in the attire of a medicine boy, walked in stiffly, carrying a black wooden tray.

This is a Class B Mystery—The Medicine-Giving Mystery!

The Medicine-Giving Ghost did not speak; it walked straight to the first Chosen One in line.

He slowly handed over the tray, on which two pills were neatly arranged.

One was entirely crimson, emitting an alluring fragrance, while the other was pitch black, with even faint, eerie skull patterns moving across its surface, making it look like an extremely potent poison.

The Medicine-Giving Ghost extended its pale, withered fingers and pointed to the tray, indicating that the chosen one should choose one of the two pills to eat.
